Disclaimer: I only own Lily, James and all the other children in this story. Oh, and the plot. I wish I did own Harry Potter and Co. but I don't. J.K. Rowling is the rich person who owns them.
Ch.2 Back to Hogwarts We Go!
The next week everyone got their letters from Hogwarts. And that meant going to Diagon Alley. They used Floo Powder to get there.
" All right, you've got all the money you need. Go on, get your school stuff." Hermione said.
Lily started to walk. " Hey, Lily, want to walk with us?" Janet asked.
"No , I want to go by myself. Thanks." Lily replied. She walked on. She met Ian up the road.
" Hey, where's Janet and the rest of them?" he asked.
" I told them I wanted to walk by myself." Lily said. " So , where do you want to go first?"
" Let's go get our robes. Then, our books." Ian replied.
Little did they know that someone very jealous was watching them nearby. After they got their robes and books, they went over to the ice cream parlor.
" So, your summer was very dull, huh?" Lily asked.
" Yea. I was grateful for your letters that came every, what was it, every three days?" Ian said laughing.
" Hey, just because you had nothing happening didn't mean nothing was happening to me." Lily said, smiling.
Just then, Harry came over to them.
" Come on, were all going home now. Got everything?" he asked.
" Yes , of course we have everything or we wouldn't be sitting here." Lily replied.
They stopped by the Leaky Cauldron for lunch and then left. When they got home, they're were two people sitting at the kitchen table. One was a lady with red hair and blue eyes. The other was a man with blonde hair and gray eyes. Mrs. Wesley rushed up to them.
" Ginny, Malfoy, how nice it is to see you. Ian and Janet have been waiting for you to return. How was your trip to America?" Mrs. Wesley asked.
" Very nice mum. We went to New York and Boston." Ginny replied. " And how were Ian and Janet while we were away?"
" Mum, you ask as if we are five or something." Janet said.
" Well I missed you too, Janet." Ginny said, laughing.
" It's nice to see you again, mum." Janet said. " Did you bring us anything?"
" Yes. We did. We brought something for everyone." Malfoy replied. " But that can wait can it? We better get unpacked."
That afternoon, all the kids, including Harry, Ron, Fred, George, and Malfoy Sr. went outside to play Quidditch. Harry told all of them about his three year career playing for the English Quidditch team. They had won the World Cup all three years that he had played for them. They went inside for dinner.
Lily couldn't remember a more eventful summer before this. They went to Diagon Alley for fun every week. Then, September 1 came faster than Lily wanted. She found herself packing her trunk for school. The next morning was hectic. They woke up at the crack of dawn but didn't leave for King's Cross until 9:45. They walked through the barrier in pairs. First Katie and Josh, then Brian and Sarah, then Lily, James and Amy, and lastly, Janet and Ian. They went to the last compartment in the train. Amy, Brian, Sarah, and Katie had gone to another compartment. The remaining five played Exploding Snap the whole way there. They talked about Hogsmede, which they could now go there this year. When the trolley lady came to their compartment, they bought every kind of candy there was to buy. Then, halfway to Hogwarts, two boys walked in.
" It's Luke Parkinson and Draken Barison, some 2nd year Slytherins." Malfoy whispered to Lily.
" Well, well, looks who it is, Luke. It's Draco Malfoy, sitting with some Gryffindors. Have you become a mudblood lover too?" Draken asked. Then, turning to Lily, he said " Hey, I know you. You're that smart daughter of Harry Potter. Too bad you weren't killed by that Basilisk. At least it would have gotten rid of one mudblood in the school."
Malfoy stood up very mad. " You leave her alone!" he said, trembling with anger with every syllable.
" What's this? Draco Malfoy, standing up for a mudblood?" Draken said, laughing.
Lily stood up and pushed her way in front of Malfoy. " How dare you! " she said." You would be more of a mudblood than me!"
That was the last straw for Draken. He started at Lily. But he never made it. There was a loud bang. Draken fell to the ground. Lily looked up. There was James and Malfoy with their wands out. Their eyes flashed with anger.
" No body hurts my sister." James said simply. " What spell did you use on him?"
" A stunning spell." Mafoy replied.
" Same here. Let's get them out of here." James said, already kicking the two lumps out of the door.
The ride to Hogwarts was very quiet. When they finally got there, Lily was relieved. She had never seen her brother that mad before. Lily, Janet, and Malfoy climbed into one carriage. Janet was too busy listening to music to notice that Lily and Malfoy were talking.
" Why did you do that?" Lily asked.
" He was insulting you and about to curse you or beat you up. I had to do something." Malfoy replied.
The carriages finally arrived at the school. Lily was relieved to get inside and get something to eat. She stepped in to the Entrance Hall. There were was already some students waiting. Then, Hermione came in. She told them to go into the Great Hall to wait. Lily went to go sit at the Gryffindor Table with the rest of her friends. Everyone had been seated for about 20 minutes when the doors opened and the first years came in. There were about 30 of them. But at the end of the line was a slightly taller girl with blonde hair. She looked at little older than the rest of the group. Then, Pro. McGonagall began calling out names.
" Anderson, Jeremy! - Hufflepuff! Bone, Annie! - Slytherin! Dew, Rebecca! - Hufflepuff! Judson, Sheril- Ravenclaw!"
" Oh, come on. Can't they hurry up a bit?" Lily heard Josh say.
It went on for what seemed hours when finally Pro. McGonagall said, " Shaw, Elizabeth! - Gryffindor!"
The girl with blonde hair walked over to their table. She came and sat between James and Lily.
" Hi, I'm Elizabeth as you probably already know." she said. " I'll be in your year. My mum didn't want to send me last year, so she taught me at home. But she promised me that I would go this year."
" So you're twelve years old too?" Lily asked.
" Yea." Elizabeth replied.
" Well, I'm Lily Potter." Lily said, extending her hand.
" And I'm her twin brother, James Potter." James said.
" So your the Potter twins that never existed till last year. I've heard all about you. At least last year." Elizabeth said, staring at Lily with interest.
Lily and Elizabeth became friends before the feast was over. When they got up to the dormitory, they found out that Elizabeth was to sleep with second years.
The next morning at breakfast, they were given their schedules.
" Ah man! All the lessons we have today suck. Double Potions, Double Transfiguration and Charms." Josh said.
" At least we have DADA three times a week." Lily said, sighing.
They ate breakfast quickly and headed for the dungeons.
" Today we are going to make a Swelling Solution." Pro. Malfoy. " You will have three at a table. Directions are on the board."
Lily went to a table with Elizabeth and Janet. Sarah had refused to come to the same table as Lily.
" Do you know why Sarah has been avoiding me?" Lily asked.
" No. I noticed that she barely talked to you all summer. I wonder why though." Janet said, thoughtfully, skinning her shriveled prune. " You know that we get to pick new subjects for next year at the end of this year."
" Yea. I'm thinking about Ancient Studies, Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, and Divination." Lily said.
" You should be done mixing it by now. Your potion should be a salmon color." Pro. Malfoy.
Of course, Lily's Swelling Solution was the only one to be really salmon color. The second years left next for Transfiguration.
" You will be turning these guinea pigs into guinea fowl today." Pro. MacGonagall informed them.
It was very difficult, even for Lily. It was several times before she got it. When the bell rang for lunch, Lily felt very hungry and drained.
" Hey, I've got to go to the lavitories. I'll catch up with you later." Lily said.
She was walking down the hall toward them when a hand grasped her.
" Hey, Potter. Now I'm going to get the revenge I didn't get on the train. No one to save you here." Draken said with an evil grin on his face, lifting Lily off the ground and holding her against the wall. He lifted his arm ready to strike at her face. Lily closed her eyes, waiting for the fist to smash her glasses but she waited for ten seconds and no pain had come to her face. She opened her eyes. There, holding back Draken's fist was Ian.
" If you put a finger on her again, you will have to deal with me, and it won't be pretty. Now, get out of here." he said.
" You were lucky this time. Just wait." Draken called as he walked off down the hall.
" Are you alright?" Ian asked.
" Yea. Thanks Ian." Lily said. And she gave Ian a hug. " I better go down to lunch."
" Watch yourself, ok." Ian said.
Lily walked down the hallway and down into the Great Hall. She sat down beside Janet.
" Where've you been? You've been gone for about 7 minutes." she asked.
" Oh, I was just hanging around with a friend." Lily replied with a slight smile.
