Disclaimer: Did you guess which ones were mine? If you guessed Sky and Liora you guessed right. The rest all belong to J.K. Rowling.

Author's note: I hope everyone liked the last chapter of Blood Traitor? If not its ok just review and tell me what you didn't like. Just be nice, this is my first fanfic and I'm just getting the hang of things.

Author's note 2: This chapter is a little confusing. It starts in the present, then is a flashback, then goes back to the present in another point of view, then another flashback. Don't be scared though. It's not that hard. If after you read it you decide you hate or love this chapter just review.

Chapter2: The Last First Day

They walked into the great hall amidst gaiety and chaos. Everyone was hugging people they hadn't seen since June or swapping stories. Lilly sighed to herself and told her friends that she would catch up with them later. A head girl's work is never done.

Arthur and Lucius followed them inside and then split up to go to there own house's table. Most people didn't bother to be friends with someone from another house but Lucius and Arthur had been friends since their first day at school.

They had met on the platform and much like that day Arthur had been saying a very heart-wrenching goodbye to his mom. Lucius had only been about fifty feet away being dropped off by his nanny. She was there only to make sure he knew how to get on the train. She didn't hug or even say goodbye to him. She just handed him, his things and watched him get on the train. After that first year he always got on the train by himself.

The train had been about to take off when Arthur was finally able to tear himself from his mom, He ran onto the train just as it started to move and began to search for a compartment. Since he had been the last one on the train he hadn't expected to get one all to himself but as he walked the length of the train he couldn't even find one compartment that wasn't full. He finally got to the last compartment on the train and it had only one boy in it. Arthur jumped at his good luck and attempted to open the door. Arthur tugged on it but then came to the realization that the door was spelled shut. He looked through the glass pane of the door again. The boy inside could not have been older than him so how had he managed to spell the door. Even if he was pure blood like Arthur, first years didn't know enough magic to magically lock a door. He decided to knock on the door to get the boys attention. At first he was ignored, then the boy must have gotten annoyed at the incessant tapping because he despelled the door. "What do you want?" was the first thing he said.

"All the other compartments are full. Do you mind if I join you?" Arthur asked

"Yes I do mind, but it seems I don't have much of a choice. You have no where else to go."

"Thanks." Arthur said with a sigh of relief. He thought that the boy would kick him out. "So what's your name? I'm Arthur."

The boy was quiet for a while and Arthur thought that he was ignoring him again so he just started to read one of the books he had packed.

"Lucius."

"What did you say? Wasn't paying attention." Arthur said gesturing to his book.

"My name is Lucius Malfoy."

Arthur smiled. "Arthur Weasely's the name."

While Lilly walked up and down the Gryffindor table her friends were waved down by a group of four boys. One with incredibly messy hair which he at that very moment made even more messy by running his hands though it; one incredibly handsome boy with dark hair and laugh lines around his eyes; and one with long brown hair and a weary but happy face. The final one gave Liora a bad feeling. The only way to describe him was mouse like.

"Hi everyone." Liora greeted as she sat down next to Sirius, the dark haired one.

"Hi back" James, Sirius, and Remus all said in unison.

"Hi" Peter said slightly after them in a barely audible whisper.

Liora and Molly sat on either side of Remus, Sky sat by Sirius, and an empty seat remained next James. The three girls noticed it and all started to laugh. James had never been secretive about how he felt for Lilly. It made Molly feel bad for him since it was obvious to all that Lilly did not return those feelings.

"Oh the sorting is about to start. I can't wait to see all the new first years." Sky exclaimed.

"Me too. They always look so scared though. Remember our first day?" Molly said.

"Yeah that sure was interesting." Liora added.

"What was interesting?" Lilly asked having returned from her head girl duties.

"Our first day of school." Sky answered.

"That was definitely something I'll never forget." Lilly reminisced.

Lilly was the only muggle born in their group. So of course when she arrived at kings cross on September first six years ago she had no clue where to go. Fortunately she wasn't left alone. Her parents and her sister were all eager to see what kind of transportation wizards use. They still had trouble believing that the letter wasn't just a prank someone was playing on Lilly. The first person they noticed who could've been believable as a wizard was a scrawny, mouse looking boy who didn't look magical at all. What gave him away was the cage on top of his trunk. It had a toad in it. He looked even more nervous than she felt.

'Maybe his family aren't wizards either.' Lilly thought hopefully. She tried to get closer to the mousy boy but a crowd pushed her out of the way and when she turned around the boy had disappeared.

"Darn it where did he go?" Lilly asked to no one in particular. Hugging her cat, Athena, to her chest for comfort. There were only ten minutes left until eleven and she had no idea how to get to the platform.

"You ok? I'm James and this is Sky." A messy haired boy and a blue-eyed girl had approached her.

Lilly was near tears at this point. She could tell that these two were magical without needing to see a toad. Power seemed to flow from them.

'They must be very powerful' Lilly thought.

"Do you need some help getting on the platform?" the girl named Sky asked.

Lilly could only nod.

"Are they your family?" James pointed to Lilly's parents and sister. "No wonder your having trouble getting on the platform you're muggleborn."

"Shhhhh James! Maybe she doesn't want everyone to know and don't be so nosey."

"Oops sorry. So you want some help?"

Lilly was a little confused. What had they called her? But at the moment it didn't matter. These two were offering help and she definitely needed it.

"How do you do it?" Lilly asked.

"Well all you have t…" Sky started.

"Wait we don't even know your name. Why should we help you?"

"My name is Lilly."

"Now can I tell her?" Sky said a little annoyed.

"Sure. You just can't be too careful, my naive cousin." James responded.

"Like I was saying before. All you have to do is walk toward the barrier between platforms nine and ten. Show her James."

James who had been zoning out while his cousin explained things now said "What? Why me?"

"Because I'm explaining and if we don't show her she may think we're just pulling her leg."

Lilly was shocked. That had been exactly what she was thinking. Why had she started talking to these people?

"Fine. I'll do it. But only cause she's cute."

"James Potter you rude little wanker."

"Language dear cousin, language."

"Oh shut up." She started to say but he was already running to the barrier. Lilly thought that maybe he had lost his mind. He was going to crash, but then he was gone.

"H-he just vanished." Lilly said dumbstruck.

Sky just laughed at Lilly's astonishment. "You'll get used to it." She said.

"Uh-huh" was all Lilly could think to say.

"Ok. Your turn. I'll follow behind you." Sky said.

"Maybe you should go next. I'm still a little shocked." That was putting it lightly. Lilly was absolutely dumbfounded with what she just saw.

"I would normally, but you seem really scared and if I go before you, you may just tell your family that you've changed your mind and run off."

This girl has got to be psychic. She seems to know exactly what I'm thinking. "Are you a mind reader? You seem to know exactly what I'm thinking"

Sky just laughed. "I'm not a mind reader that isn't even a real power. That's just something that muggles came up with. Those are people who don't have any magic in them." Sky said in response to Lilly's confused look at the word muggle. "I just remember feeling the same way when my brother started school for the first time. I have a twin sister too. Her name is Liora. We're fraternal so we don't look all that alike. She's already on the platform with our mum.

'This girl is so lucky. She's got to know everything there is to know about magic.' Lilly thought, starting to feel anxious at her lack of knowledge.

"OK. So all I have to do is run into the barrier?" Lilly asked trying to buy more time.

"Its alright if you walk. My cousin just likes to show off. He's probably already on the train looking for someone he can gloat to." Sky said. "Go say bye to your family now. The train's gonna leave soon and you won't see them again until Christmas."

Lilly nodded and went off to say goodbye to her parents. This was the last time they would see her as a normal girl or as a wizard would say, a muggle.

"Ok I'm ready lets go." Lilly turned to Sky after hugging her mom for the last time.

"Ok. You want to go first or shall I."

"I'll go first. Otherwise I may chicken out."

"You'll be fine. I know it. Tons of muggleborns feel the same way as you. Actually even wizards who come from a family of wizards feel just as scared as you do there first day." Sky reassured Lilly.

Lilly could feel her eyes welling up at the girl's kind words. She turned to face the barrier, took a deep breath and like she saw James do, ran toward it. At some point she must have closed her eyes because she didn't notice when she got on the platform. She heard a train's whistle and then opened them to see a huge scarlet steam engine. Sky came up right behind he and took in a deep breath.

"It always looks more spectacular every time you see it. So feel a little better now that you know its all real?" Sky asked kindly.

"Yeah. You're so nice. I don't know if I'd have gone through with it if I hadn't met you and your cousin."

"I'm sure you would have been fine. You're really brave. Come I have to say bye to my mum and dad. You can meet my brother and sister. He's in his second year, Gryffindor. But Liora is my twin so she's in first year too. She's really nice, but if you thought I could read minds wait til you meet her. I'm so excited. I bet we'll be the best of friends."

"Definitely" Lilly agreed.

"That was a good day. That's when I met these guys." James gestured to his three best friends.

"And I met you guys later on after we got sorted." Molly said.

"Looks like you were right Sky we did become the best of friends. All of us." Lilly said.
