Chapter 2: New Gryffindor

"Lily Edwards." McGonagall finally says. The girl moves forward to be sorted. As she turns around to face the school a collective gasp goes around. She is beautiful! She has high cheek bones, with a perfect nose, a mouth that suggest a slight pout her bottom lip slightly bigger then her upper one, wide emerald eyes, fair skin, and long, straight, full red hair. McGonagall places the Sorting Hat on her head, after a moment of decision it shouts "GRYFFINDOR!"

The Gryffindor house table exploded in cheers! As she came to sit down Dumbledore stopped her and whispered something in her ear, gesturing to Professor Snape. She nodded and started to head towards the table again and all the guys started trying to make room for her to sit next to them, but she sat between Hermione and Harry instead. All the guys were staring at Harry like he was the luckiest boy in the world but Lily wasn't paying anyone any attention.

"Students I have some preterm announcements but now… is not the time for them. So…tuck in!" The table joints started creaking because they were suddenly filled with food. Everyone started digging in and eating…except for one. Lily was just sitting there looking in her lap not even bothering to look at the table of food in front of her.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Hermione asked Lily.

Lily head jerked up in shock from being talked to. "Excuse me?"

"Aren't you going to eat?" Hermione repeated herself.

"Oh…no, I don't think so. I'm not very hungry." Lily said without looking her in the eye.

"Okay. Oh by the way my name Hermione Granger, I'm in the same year as you." Hermione said introducing herself.

"I'm Lily Edwards. So is this a good school?" Lily asked

"Yeah…" Hermione was cut off by Dumbledore.

"To all the new students: Welcome and to all the old: Welcome back! I have some start of the term notices. To all our first years and a few of our older students need a reminder…" Harry, Ron, and Hermione share a secret smile"…that the forest on the grounds are out of bounds to students. Also I would like to welcome the newest member to our teaching staff, Hestia Jones (a pink-cheeked, and black-haired witch) will be our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." Dumbledore went on for a few more minutes but most people besides Hermione tuned him out by then.

"Prefects you may take your hoses up to the dormitories."

Ron and Hermione got up and started shouting "Gryffindor first years this way to the dormitories!" Harry got up and fell instep behind Ron and Lily fell instep next to Harry.

"Hey" Harry said to Lily.

"Hi" she said in a whispery type voice.

"Where did you to school before you came here?" Harry asked.

"I went to the wizardry school in France." She answered.

They arrived at the dormitory and the guys and girls separated at the stairs to go to their respective rooms. Harry returned to the room he has considered home for the past five years. Neville, Dean, and Seamus were already there and Ron was right behind Harry.

"Hey Harry, Ron. Did you guys have a good summer?" Neville asked.

"Yeah" they said simultaneously.

"Did you guys?" Harry asked everyone.

"Yeah" came three separate replies.

Everyone started getting ready for bed except for Seamus who was hanging a Cannons poster on the wall.
