Chapter 3
I'm related to EVIL!
Lily stood outside the stone Gargoyles guarding the headmaster's office, letter clutched in her hand tightly. Lily muttered 'spangles' and watched as the Gargoyle moved to show the circular staircase. Lily ran up the stairs and stop short of the door; hand over her heart and breathing heavily. Lily knocked on the door once and opened it once she heard a 'yes' from the other side. Lily opened the wooden door slowly and walked into the room slowly.
The Headmaster gestured for her to sit in the opposite seat to him. Lily sat down and looked at the headmaster.
Dumbledore surveyed Lily through his half moon glasses, his eyes scanning her face.
"So Lily dear, why do you look so distressed?" Dumbledore asks
Lily shrugs "I suppose im not really that upset, I just got a letter from my mother, for the first time since I was born, and she wants to meet me, and also she told me my family used to be wizards, but for centuries have been squibs." Lily hastily says
Dumbledore nods and offers a sherbet lemon to Lily who shakes her head in refusal.
"What is your mothers name?" Dumbledore asks as he summons an ancient looking book from one of his bookcases.
"Penelope Montgomery" Lily answers
Lily's face becomes confused as Dumbledore opens the book; a puff of dust rising from the pages, Dumbledore turns to the back of the book and pauses, a finger running down the page. Dumbledore looks up from the pages and looks at Lily
"I am assuming Montgomery was her maiden name?" Dumbledore asks
Lily thinks for a second and nods.
Dumbledore gestures at the book lying on the table, half opened.
"This book, is one of the oldest I own, as you can proberly tell from its dust content, but it is one of the few books left with the old wizarding family's in it, this book 'la familiae et magik' has a record of around 10 000 wizarding family records, though now there are around 5 000 wizarding family's known."
Lily nods to show her understand and Dumbledore continues
"Now, from what is stated in this book, your family the Montgomery's were originally French, but migrated to England in the time of Merlin, now this is interesting, the wizard Taliesin, was the enemy of Merlin as we all know, the first Dark Lord known, was of your family, though it does not say weather it was direct or not, though after this your family record stops."
Dumbledore looks at Lily with a frown, but twinkle still ever present in his eyes.
"Now it is not known how Merlin punished Taliesin, but back then laws were very different from now, a punishment given to one wizard was giving to the whole family, so it would be safe to assume your family was banished from the wizarding world and after generations of not being in the presence of magic, they started to give birth to squibs." Dumbledore finishes with a stroke of his beard.
Lily nods once more.
"Okay, so im descendant from magic and squibs, but why start produce magic in the family now?"
Dumbledore smiles at Lily as she stands to go
"Aahh, but Ms Evans, why not produce magic now?"
Lily looks at Dumbledore confusingly, before shaking her head. Lily waves goodbye to Dumbledore and walks out of his office, down the stairs and out into the corridor.
Lily walked into the Gryffindor room and looked around, the 1st years as usual were gathered round the desks, second years lounged on the floor, the third, fourth and five and 6th years were scattered everywhere else and the group of 7th years sat in the seats in front of the fire. Lily walked over to the lounges and sat down next to Lexia and Em. The marauders were nowhere to be seen.
"Hey Lily" Em says as she wraps an arm around Lily
"What's up?' Lexia asks
"Nothing" Lily murmurs
Lexia and Em look at one another, eyebrows raised
"So did you hear?" Em asks
"Hear what?" Lily asks
"Hogsmeade weekend, this weekend, wanna go?"
Lily nods her head "Yeah, I need more chocolate"
"Good" Lexia says "Cause you didn't have a choice!"
Lily scowls at her best friends, and shakes her head and mutters "weirdos". Lily summons her transfiguration homework and textbook from her room. Lily looks once more at her friends, rolls her eyes and starts to finish her homework.
Later that night, or was it early in the morning? Lily couldn't tell. Lily lay on the three-seater lounge, staring into the now non-existent ambers of fire. Lily was feeling very tired, but she couldn't sleep. She could go to the hospital wing but she didn't feel like that walk. So Lily lay on the lounge in her pyjamas that consisted of an overly large black shirt that feel half way down her thighs and white tights that reached her knees. Lily picked up her diary that lay on the ground and the quill that lay beside it. Lily dipped the quill into ink and brought it to the paper.
Dear Diary,
Okay well today mother sent me a letter, yeah she did. She wants to meet me, but I don't want to meet her, I can always go to Dumbledore for information on my family if I must. Anyway the reason I am writing today is because of Potter, James, well whatever I call him. We are apparently starting a 'friendship', but it has a nice advantage cause that means he can't hit on me! Yaaay! Im like doing the happy dance here! Well he wasn't that bad, but boy does it get annoying after a while.
Anyway this afternoon we were talking down by the lake, that's when I got the letter, yeah I think I was a bit shocked, anyway he read the letter.
Anyway im not a 'mud-blood' im a 'witch' descended from squibs, descended from witches and wizards, descended from the Dark Lord; Taliesin.
Yah for me! I belong in Slytherin…okay im going a bit far right there….
Anyway its something like 2 in the morning and the full moon should be disappearing soon….
'Werewolves of London, werewolves of London'
I love that song I also love 'bad moon rising'.
I think im going to try and sleep now…
Love,
Lily Evans-Montgomery
Ps. I have this sneaking suspicion that Em likes Sirius, I might kill her.
