Chapter 2

Lily

Sighing I sit down next to my family, who barely acknowledge me, well why change a habit of a lifetime? Looking up and down the Great Hall everyone's stuffing their mouths with breakfast. They're all laughing carelessly like they have no worries, why is it the seventh years, that have their NEWTS in just a few months, aren't even nervous about what they're going to do after school?

Really I have nothing to worry or fret about. I'm only a "small little kid" after all. That has no friends. Not even my cousins care. They're all too busy with their own lives. Not that I mind much. But I guess, I get lonely sometimes. And sad, and I have nobody to talk to. Nobody to really trust. My family because, well lets face it, we're not known for keeping secrets, actually the opposite. We cant keep secrets. Ever! And then my room mates are all lovely of course, but they're all blabber mouths too. And, well I don't really speak to them much.

Mostly though, I think I don't have any friends is because I'm scared. I'm scared that people will tell me I'm an idiot and that they don't want to be friends with me. My cousins, and brothers, are always telling me I need to speak up, I'm a Potter of course. I hate the way I have to live up to this name! Its so stupid, why cant I just be Lily Luna -I don't know..- Baker for crying out loud. I heard some muggle with that name before. Oh here I go again, rambling on and on. No wonder I have no friends.

"-Lily are you even listening to me!"

I glance up and notice all my family staring at me. Rose carries on.

"Are you okay? You're very quite!" Damn. Always the observant one.

"Yeah course! Why wouldn't I?"

"Okay well as I was saying, we need to sort this whole Roxy thing. Dom said she was crying all night last night and now she said she cant come down as she's ill."

"But she's a prefect and it's the first day of term!" I chirp.

"Yes we know that Lils, get with it, that's what we were discussing the past ten minutes while you were off in some other planet." My ever taught full brother Albus replies.

"Well sorry Snivelus!" I stick my tongue out at him and get up. I'm sure they can figure out, whatever it is they're trying to figure out, on their own! Merlin they make me angry sometimes. I stomp off to Herbology twenty minutes early. I can talk to Uncle Nev-, oops I mean, Professor Longbottom until class starts. I want to know how Hannah and little Abigail are doing. Although I am going for tea with them tonight up in there flat so that will be fun.

I love how they treat me like an adult, but also spoil me rotten, its great to get attention for once.

Fred

"Eugh, what time is it?" I look around the room, one arm under Em, who's still fast asleep. Emily being a Prefect really has its advantages. The Prefects have their own dorm and common room all to themselves, and since my sis is staying in her old dorm to be with her friends, and that creep Lysander Scamander doesn't bother coming in either, well really I paid him to stay away for the year. I know I shouldn't, but out of all the years I've known him, which has been my whole life, since his mom and my family are very close, he's always spooked me out. I couldn't trust him here with my girlfriend. I'd be afraid he would come on to her or try to take advantage of my Baby.

I look at the clock next to my bed. -crap 8:30. Classes start at 9!

"Emmie baby come on we're late, we have to get up!" I shake her shoulders gently.

"Huh- eugh what?… Oh crap! Fred why didn't you wake me. Come on we have to get up!"

"Yes, Dear I was trying to wake you. How about a quick shower first, you are smelling a tad bit" I wink suggestively at her.

Emily, even with no make up on, sleep still in her expression, and her hair in a big heap at the top of her head, still looks breath taking. I cant help it, I am a guy after all!

"Well I'm sure we can fit in ten minutes" she says blushing before racing me to the bathroom. I love this girl.

…

Emily and I reached DADA at 9:03.. Earning us a detention tonight, that's just fantastic, but it was definitely worth it. I sit down in between Roxy and Em, the seat I've had for the past five years. Roxy is refusing to look at me.

"Roro!" I use my old nickname for her in the hope that she'll feel bad.

"Listen, I'm sorry for how I reacted today" I cant believe I'm apologising, I never do! She has to realise I clearly feel bad if I'm resorting to saying sorry. "but that guy, he gets me so worked up, I don't want anybody treating you that way. I just want to stick up for my lil sis-"

"Don't make excuses Frederick, you never liked him. You just wanted to shout at him. And don't you dare call me that! Stop trying to make me feel bad! Because its not going to work! Now get back to your work and leave. me. alone!" she hisses, like a snake.

I gulp and look over at Emily. She sends me a sympathetic smile but carries on attempting to make a Patronus.

Lily

Knocking on Uncle Nev's and Auntie Hannah's apartment door in the teachers living quarters of Hogwarts, I immediately hear a small voice giggling, getting louder. Neville opens the door to me with little Abby in his arms, only wearing a tiny pink t-shirt.

"Sorry, we were in the middle of a nappy change.. Come in Lils!"

"Hey Abs!" I say tickling the small eight month old, this little baby defeated the odds and its amazing to see a real life miracle, you see, poor little Abigail was born with only half a Kidney, she has already had two operations in her short life. But here she is, full mop of blonde curls, chubby pink cheeks babbling along to some song on the radio.

She is a perfect combination of her mom Hannah Abbott, and her dad Neville Longbottom.

Her dads huge brown eyes, and full lips, and her moms curly blonde hair and small nose. Of course her personality is hilarious. She is going to be such a mischievous devil when she's older. Exactly like James and Fred. I walked into the living room and glance around. It looked the same as it had the last time I was here. There were two oversized couches with patchwork quilts covering them, a battered plump armchair stood next to the fireplace, and one whole wall was covered in shelves, with hundreds of books. In another corner there's a huge dining table prepared for our dinner. Hannah rushes out of the kitchen with an apron on. With wide open outstretched arms she gives me a big bear hug.

"Hey hun, how's my girl doing huh? Come into the kitchen with me, I want to speak with you." she takes my hand and leads me into the small kitchen. She leans against one of the counters while motioning for me to sit on the counter.

"So how's life? What's been up darling? Your moms worried about you love. Dominique and Rose were telling me you've been even more quite than usual. What's wrong hunny?" Hannah gives me this really sympathetic smile that just makes me grumble. I burst out crying.

Hannah's face changes to one of pure understanding. She moves over to me and kneels down in front of me. She takes me in her arms and we just stay like that for awhile. It could've been a minute, or an hour. But in that moment I just had piece. I gulped out explanations, about feeling unwanted and unloved. How I had no friends and I was a Potter, but yet I wasn't good at anything. I was just going to be called "The other Potter" she sat through my ramblings and eventually, once I stopped speaking, she told me. She told me all about her childhood. How she felt over shadowed by her older, more beautiful, cleverer sisters. How she was never good at anything, until her Hogwarts letter came and her parents were so proud of her, even though they had always been. She was the first in her family, coming from a Muggle back round, to enter Hogwarts.

"Lils darling, your parents are so very proud of you, everybody, all your family love you too. Very much. You're the baby of the Potters and Weasleys. You're the most special love. And, you might not think you have anything special to offer. But believe me. I've seen you grow and blossom. You will find yourself. And until then, you have to enjoy your time here, okay? And just start talking to people, a small bit at a time, just say hey to people okay? Just small steps yeah? Now lets serve up the dinner and enjoy the evening, we're having your favourite, roast beef, mash, roastie spuds and gravy, with lots of veg. and extra Orange Juice for you miss, we all know how much you love the muggle cuisine."

Hannah is my best friend, she always knows what to say and help me. We serve up our dinner and the four of us sit down, enjoying light conversation and laughing at all the silly things Abbs did, nobody mentioning my little mini meltdown earlier. It got so late that I had to stay over, in the spare bed next to Abigail's cot in her adorable bedroom that's a mix between muggle Princess's and Wizarding creatures like Nargles, Blibbering Humdingers, Crumple-Horned Snorkack and so many others, that Aunt Luna designed of course. Since she is the only person who claims to have seen them.

As I'm drifting off to sleep I wistfully think that maybe, just maybe my life could turn around, if I put Hannah's advice in place.

Okay I really don't like this. I'm sorry! It's just a filler basically to get to the action. Please R&R. (:
