Thanks every one for these reviews.
Chapter 3.
"This is outrages", said a boy. The boy had pale blond hair and a wicked sneer on his face. "I knew that this place would eventually go down hill. They are always letting mud-bloods come to this school".
"Luciouse. Be nice", said Aimee. "A bad first impression is never a good one". Luciouse smiled wickedly and then eventually doubled over. He lay on the floor clutching his stomach. Kelli stared at Aimee in horror; she had seen Aimee mutter a few words. She guessed it was a spell that would be very hard to learn, maybe she was taught from a young age? Aimee saw Kelli looking at her; Kelli quickly looked away with embarrassment.
"Don't worry. It's just a glamour. There's really nothing there. I'm just teaching him a lesson", Aimee said. "That's Luciouse Malfoy. An annoying bad ass, my family and his family are close, that's how I know him".
"Aimee how dare you treat a Malfoy like this. And protect mud-bloods. It's a disgrace to your family name".
"And… I really don't care".
They stood glaring at each other when a shadow was cast over them. The both looked up, and saw a man. The man felt like a very powerful wizard.
"We're ready for you now", he said. "Follow me please. By the way from now on I will be known as Professor Dumbledore".
"Kelli. I'm guessing he is the Deputy Headmaster. Albus Dumbledore", Lily said to Kelli while they were walking through the two great big doors into what they would know as the Great Hall.
Lily got a nervous feeling in her stomach and for a moment of horror she thought Aimee had cast the glamour on her but then she just realized she was nervous about the house sorting.
I hope I'm in Gryffindor. Actually, Ravenclaw doesn't sound too bad.
She thought debating her chances of which would suit her better, just as she decided that she would be good in Ravenclaw she heard her name being called by Albus Dumbledoor.
"Evans, Lily." His voice was loud but calm and she stepped forward feeling the butterflies in her stomach.
"Ok Lily, just calm down, there's nothing to be afraid of." She kept muttering under her breath. As she passed James and Sirius she thought she heard Sirius mutter,
"She's mental that one." And James nodded next to him. (A/N: Sorry, I couldn't resist!)
Lily sat on the stool that the Professor had indicated, and a hat was placed on her head then, she jumped as she heard a voice as clear as daylight in her mind.
Ooh, very good. Very good indeed.
Yes, extremely smart. But then, extremely brave.
Lily couldn't understand brave. She was shaking down to the bone.
What to do with you? I wonder, Ravenclaw would suit your knowledge and Gryffindor would suit you bravery. But then again, Gryffindor would also support you knowledge.
Where to put you, ah I know…
"Gryffindor!" The hat shouted into the hall. Lily opened her eyes to see that a whole table had stood up clapping. She smiled nervously and walked forward and sat next to an older girl.
Aimee Brown was next and her hat also shouted Gryffindor, but she didn't smile. Instead a weird expression crossed her face. But then as soon as it had come, it was gone.
Arthur Weasley was next, Gryffindor.
Daphne Greengrass, Slytherin.
Blaise Zambini, Hufflepuff.
Daniel Watson, Ravenclaw.
Then James, Sirius and Lupin, joined Gryffindor. And so did Kelli.
Lily saw Aimee start crying into James chest when he sat down, and wondered why. She looked at Kelli expectantly but she just shrugged.
The feast they had been magnificent, followed by a beautiful desert. By the time Lily had finished, she felt like she was floating to her bedroom already, and she hadn't even stood up.
"I would just like to say, no one is to go to the forbidden forest, it is strictly for the care of magical creatures class only. Now, I bid you a good night." The headmaster, Professor Dippet said yawning.
They trudged up to their dormitories and fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillows. Lily had the most peaceful sleep she had had in three years. But she regretted going down to breakfast the next morning, because the moment she entered the hall, she heard a large booming voice coming from a letter. A red letter. Talking to Aimee.
Was this why she was crying?
