Hi guys! So Thank you so much to everyone who read and reviewed, I love you all 3. I know the last chapter was short and you're probably all screaming "DIE!" while stabbing a voodoo doll of me right now, but I promise this will be longer. Pinkie Swear. This is the longest chapter I've ever written, and I'm really proud of it. So if you have any ideas, please PM or review. I write some chapters on notes on my iPod and some on my laptop, so please bear with me if some of the grammar isn't as good as other chapters. I am also thinking about writing another story about Lucy.
This chapter is the start of the summer holidays.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or anything you recognise.
LILY P.O.V
This was the life. I was sitting on the train, next to the window, Alice sitting across from me. Light was streaming in through my window, warming my back. Finally. Summer was here.
We were about five minutes away from the station, and we were all getting ready to get off the train. A rush of excitement travelled through me. I would finally get to see Mum, Dad and James again. James had graduated last year with my cousin Fred. With his messy, dark brown hair and brown eyes, he was quite a hit with the ladies. He was a Gryffindor chaser, captain of the quidditch team and prankster extrondiare. My cousin Fred was a beater, like his father and late uncle before him.
I jumped as the loud bang of the compartment door being thrown open reached my ears.
"Lily! Alice!" Dominique squealed, throwing her arms around me, then Alice. Lorcan came in behind her, glancing at his best friend in amusement.
"I'll miss you guys!" She said, still not letting Alice go.
"Dom, I'll see you like, every week." I said with a laugh. She poked her tongue out at me.
"Who said it'll be you I miss? Maybe I just miss Alice." She joked.
"Touché." I said. We pulled up at the station. I threw my arms around everyone, pulling them into a group hug.
"I'll miss you all; we have to find a time to see you all in the holidays."
After grabbing our trunks and saying last goodbyes, we made our way to the platform.
Scanning my eyes for the familiar cluster of red heads, I finally spotted them. I grinned as I saw my mum, dad, Uncle Ron and Aunt Mione. Instead of all the parents of my extraordinary large family, just a few went to collect us.
I threw my arms around my dad, hugging him tight, before moving onto my mum, and Aunt and Uncle.
"How was your year?" My mum asked, beaming at me.
"Fabulous." I grinned.
By now, the rest of my cousins and siblings and (ugh) Scorpius had joined us. There were a lot of them. There was Rose, who threw me a sour look before hugging her parents. Rose was a sixth year Gryffindor, with red curls and blue eyes, at the top of her class. Next to her was her brother Hugo, who was in my year. He, like Rose, had red curls, but his mums brown eyes. He was a Hufflepuff, sweet and caring, always there for you. Next was Roxanne, though she would hex you if you called her that instead of Roxy. She had tanned skin and shiny, straight black hair and deep brown eyes, contrasting to her brother Fred who had red hair. You would never be able to guess they were siblings. After Roxy came Molly. Grandma LOVED Molly. Most likely because she was named after her. Molly has short, red hair with hazel and is a total suck up. According to Uncle George, she's like what Uncle Percy was like when he was in school. Her sister, Lucy is nothing like her. Lucy was a Slytherin, much too many of my Uncles' disappointment. The first Weasley Slytherin in a century. This was Lucy's second year. She has pretty, dark brown hair and brown eyes. She is a total sweetheart, but often gets overlooked because of her house. Besides Dom, she is my favourite cousin. Then there is Victorie, who is perfect, blonde hair, blue eyes, inherited most of Aunt Fluer's veela charm. She was head girl and top of her class. She was a seeker on the Ravenclaw quidditch team. Undoubtly one of the most popular girls Hogwarts has seen. Then there was Dominique, or Dom, one of my best friends. She was a spitfire, very different to her calm sister. She was the 'black sheep' of her family. Dom worked herself hard at school, but still got average marks. She was a keeper on the quidditch team, and the best since Oliver Wood or even Uncle Ron. Then there was Louis. He had blonde hair and blue eyes, a Hufflepuff.
Then there was my family. My crazy, amazing family. First there was Teddy. He was a metamorphous, so he usually kept his hair a bright, turquoise blue, although it was naturally a mousy brown. His real parents died when he was a baby, so he grew up with us. He was a Hufflepuff, like his mum, and was dating Vicky.
Next was James. James was super overprotective. He took the whole 'big brother' thing to a whole new level. When I was 14 and he caught me snogging a guy in a broom closet, he gave the guy a black eye and a broken nose. Boys avoided me after that for months; and I refused to talk to James for the rest of the year, till Christmas when I was forced to and I finally forgave him. It was quite hard not to talk to him though; I'm not one to hold grudges. After James came Albus. He was the Gryffindor seeker. We were best friends before we went to Hogwarts, but then everything changed. He had messy black hair and my dad's bright green eyes.
Then there was me, Lily Luna Potter. I was named after my Grandma Potter, who died when my dad was just a baby, and a close family friend, who was Lorcan and Lysander's mum. I had long, straight red hair and chestnut brown eyes. I was short and slim. I didn't have any freckles (shock, I'm properly the only red head in existence without them). I knew Rose was very jealous of this. My favourite subjects were charms, care of magical creatures, and history of magic. I know what you're thinking. History of magic? Really? But I love learning about history. I love learning about the goblin wars and Voldemort and all the other stuff. My friends think I'm crazy. Anyway, I love to read and I love shopping. I am a very big girly girl.
So anyway. That's my family. And then there's Scorpius. Ugh.
SCORPIUS P.O.V
Oh, there's that glare again. Maybe staying by myself at home was a better idea than staying with the youngest Potter. I know a few good hexes that would sort her out, but a warning look from Al told me not too.
"Kids! Quick, we have to get to the floo before there's a queue." Hermione said, ushering us towards the fireplace. We all quickly shuffled after her. The large crowd of us slowly thinned as we began to floo to the Potter Manor. I feel so sorry for the poor family behind us. They've been waiting a while.
"Scorpius? You coming?" Hermione's voice broke my train of thought.
"Yes, thank you, Mrs Weasley." I said, grabbing a handful of floo powder from the bag she offered me.
"You're welcome, Scorpius, and please, call me Hermione. There's too many Mrs Weasley's now so it gets confusing." She laughed at her own joke. I cracked a smile.
"Potter Manor!" I shouted. A few moments later, I stumbled out of the fireplace. I will never get use to floo travel. Brushing soot of my robes, I looked around the living room. It hadn't changed much since the last time I was here. There was the same cream walls and plush caramel coloured couches, which were currently occupied by the rest of the Weasley/Potter clan. They gave me tight smiles. I grimaced. I had expected this, to be immediately judged because of my surname. So why did it hurt so much? Shaking it off, I sat down on the nearest couch, next to Lucy. She had been the only person who gave me a proper smile, most likely because she knew what it was like to be judged. Poor girl. The only Slytherin in her family. I bet that went down well.
By now the rest of the family arrived. After hugs, kisses and greetings, everyone except the Potters left.
"Okay, Scorpius, we have a guest room prepared for you, it's near Al's room, he'll show you wear is. Now kids, go up and get changed out of those robes." Ginny instructed.
Trudging up the stairs, Lily kept on walking up to the top floor and James took a left when he got to the second floor, where as we took a right. At the end of the hallway was Al's room, mine to the left.
The room was large, with a huge, king sized bed in the middle with a deep blue comforter. The walls were a pristine white, the carpet a light blue and fluffy. There was an ensuite on the left and a chest of drawers on the right, as well as a large desk. God, if this is how they treat their guests, I'm going to be stopping here a lot more often.
After exploring my room, I got changed into a simple pair of dark wash denim shorts and threw a simple t-shirt over the top. Albus was waiting for me outside of my room, dressed similarly, and we went down together.
Ginny and Harry were sitting on the stool at the kitchen bench. Ginny smiled at us as we entered, sliding us glasses of cold lemonade a plate of biscuits. I took a chocolate digestive with a smile as Albus took a Tim Tam. Lily came downstairs in a simple t-shirt and shorts, looking rather pretty with her hair tied back into a bun and wait… WHAT THE HELL! DID I JUST CALL POTTER PRETTY! Must be the heat getting to me…Oh well.
LILY P.O.V
Going upstairs, I changed into my favourite shirt, which was black and said 'I love you to the moon and back' in white writing and a pair of dark blue denim shorts. Tying my long red hair into a bun because it can get very annoying in the summer, because it gets all hot and sticky, I skipped downstairs, where Al and Malfoy were. Just as I was about to grab a biscuit off the plate, I heard someone come out of the floo. That could only mean one person. James. James was training to be an auror, like Dad, so I didn't even get to see him at Christmas due to training.
"JAMES!" I squealed, running across the room and throwing myself into his arms. I missed him during the year a lot.
"Little Lily!" I scowled slightly at the nickname, which he gave me when I was born, and I was stuck with. Mum hugged him, as did Dad and Al, before we dragged him into the kitchen so he could tell us stories about his training.
SCORPIUS P.O.V
James nodded and smiled at me, a nice genuine smile, so I figured he couldn't be that bad. We went back to the kitchen. James was talking about a criminal they had to catch when he was doing his training in the USA. My eyes drifted to Lily…I mean Potter. Potter was hanging onto every word, which wasn't hard due to James great story telling skills. She had a Tim tam halfway to her mouth, and she was looking at her big brother in admiration. She was pretty cute when she was interested in some- AND HELL TO NO SCORP! YOU. DO. NOT. LIKE. HER. This is your worst enemy! It was properly just the hormones stirring. Yes, that was it.
I had been quite the ladies' man at Hogwarts. I had fine, blonde hair and bluey-grey eyes, as well as being a chaser and getting pretty good marks, I was quite the charmer, if I may say so myself. I could have anyone I wanted. I don't mean to brag, but ya know, I was pretty awesome.
