Chapter Seven
John explained to them as they ate dinner in the common room. He chewed a bite of mashed potato.
"See my father, Draco, had a brother that no one knew about. His name was john too, that's who I was named after. My grandfather gave him to a muggle orphanage to grow up. He didn't want anyone knowing that he had more than one son. Don't ask why, because I don't know."
He toke another bite of chicken as Lily and Erica watched. "Lucius was his son, my cousin of course. We had always thought his mother was dead. But I guess we were wrong." Lily sighed.
"God this is messed up." She rolled her eyes and ate the last bite of her potatoes. Erica watched John to see if he was going to give anymore information.
Alex Longbottom walked over to them a few minutes later. "Hi." She seemed very nervous.
Lily smiled at her. "Hi. Did you want to join us?" Alex one of the few first years who choose to eat up in the common room that night. Alex grabbed a chair and brought it up to the table the other's were sitting at.
Alex smiled at John nervously. "Thank you for helping me with Potions today." John nodded. "Yup. Anytime." He had just taken another bite of food.
Alex then faced Lily. "So it is true, your Harry Potter's daughter?" She asked Lily quietly.
Lily nodded. "Yeah. But sadly, no I don't have an awesome lightning bolt scar on my forehead." She said the last part as Alex was staring at her forehead. Alex blushed and looked away. "Sorry." The table laughed with Lily. Alex joined them after a few moments.
The rest of the week was a bit more work related than just introduction to the magical world. Erica found out that fifth and seventh years were getting piled homework already.
On Friday, the first year Gryffindor's walked out to the grassy courtyard for flying lessons. The Hufflepuff's were already there. Madam Hooch was standing with them as they lined up to a broom.
"Well you should know the drill by now. Right side of your broomstick and say up." Everyone in the class had their brooms in their hands. Even Alex, who had only done it the day before.
"Today we will be trying to catch objects in the air. This will be good for anyone looking to join their house team." This caught Lily's attention. But would she have her father's talent?
