Shout Outs:
Lady11Occult: For being a faithful reader I took your suggestion and am sending Karla. Enjoy.
Almadynis: I'll keep writing if you keep reviewing. Deal?
Kesterel2106: I fix the spear-to-spear thing in later chapters, as I'm sure you noticed. I also agree with you and your friend and I had to think long and hard before I loaded the first chapter to this story. I'm glad most people seem to like it. Thanks for the character. If you have any more ideas, let me know, I'm going to need more kids so far only you and one other reviewer has given me a character.
More: You don't have to be on your knees begging for more. I'm in the middle of finals, but I'll get these out as soon as I can. They should be faster since I'll be done with school next week.
Kaidence Ledger: Thanks for the help if you have any more ideas for characters send them my way.
Author's Note: This chapter came out of nowhere. I was writing it just to add a bit to the beginning of the next chapter, but when I ended up with 10 pages I figured I might as well make a chapter out of it. I hope you all like it and the next chapter should be fairly soon, it's already half way done. I also still need HELP coming up with kids of the first circle. Kaidence and Kesterel are the only two who have helped me with characters so far.
"When do you think they'll get here?" Raya asked Lily looking down at Lily who was already seated in her seat waiting for Transfiguration to begin.
"I'm not sure." Lily answered looking up from her seat. "Sometime this afternoon probably."
"Who do you think they'll bring?" Raya asked.
"I don't know." Lily said as McGonigall entered the class.
"Please take your seats class." Professor McGonigall said as Raya hurried to her seat next to Hermione.
After class Lily and Raya stopped to talk to the professor about that days lesson and to find out when Lucivar would be arriving.
"I believe he said they would be arriving before dinner tonight." McGonigall answered.
"Okay thanks." Lily answered. As they turned to leave the class they heard a commotion outside of the classroom.
"What's going on?" Raya asked as Lily, McGonigall and herself rushed out of the class. The sight before them worried both girls.
Right outside the door they saw Hermione on the floor and Harry and Ron being held back by Dean, Seamus, Neville and Lavender. Pansy was standing beside Draco with her hands on her hips and Crabbe and Goyle were on either side of them.
"What's going on here?" McGonigall asked. When she got no answer she asked again.
Seeing that they had no intention of telling the professor what had happened Lily decided to try this her way. Stepping in the middle of the two groups she placed her hands on her hips and faced Draco. "What happened?" she asked in low voice that the Slytherins had quickly learned not to ignore.
"Nothing." Draco answered turning away from the Gryffindors in front of him.
"Hermione's on the floor and Harry and Ron look ready to kill." Lily replied. "I don't think nothing happened."
"It was really no big deal." Pansy said looking at Lily.
"What happened?" Raya asked standing with her back to her cousin and looking at the Gryffindors.
"Nothing." Ron answered repeating Draco's answer as Dean and Seamus released him.
"Let me make this simple." Lily said turning so she could address everybody. "Either somebody tells me what happens or I find out later on my own and nobody will like what happens then."
For a few minutes nobody answered finally Lavender looked from Hermione, who had stood up and was brushing herself off, to Lily. "Hermione stumbled on her way out of class and knocked Draco over."
"So you knocked her down!" Lily shouted furiously at Draco.
"No." Lavender answered as all the Slytherins took a few steps back from Lily. "Draco stood up and said watch where you're going Mudblood as Pansy pushed her down."
Harry and Ron along with all the other Gryffindors looked at Draco with pure anger in all of their eyes.
Seeing the look Lily ignored the fact that Pansy had pushed Hermione down and turned all her attention to her fellow Slytherins. "What's a Mudblood?" she asked.
All the Slytherins took another step back as fire blazed in her eyes causing the jewel around her neck to glow with her growing anger.
"Well?" she asked again looking Draco in the eyes. "You called her a Mudblood Draco, I want to know what it is."
"Lily calm down." Raya said stepping in front of her cousin.
"Move Raya." Lily said through gritted teeth.
"Lily…"
"I said MOVE!" Lily said as she used her red jewel to push Raya aside.
"Lily." Professor McGonigall said as she approached the young girl cautiously.
"Don't professor." Raya said coming up to McGonigall. "Her temper is a combination of both her father and my father. She won't calm down until she gets an answer."
Draco looked from Lily to Raya and back again. "Well…it's…ummm…"
"Draco?" Lily asked again.
Draco looked at Lily but couldn't bring himself to tell her that he'd insulted one of her friends.
"Draco let me give it to you this way." Lily said looking at Draco the anger still evident in her eyes. "Either you tell me what a Mudblood is or I can take it from your mind myself and believe me it won't be a pleasant experience."
"It's another name for a muggle born." Draco answered looking down at the floor. That wasn't a lie so she couldn't get mad at him for that.
"It's a foul name for muggle born." Harry said glaring at Draco.
Lily who had calmed down a bit after getting the definition turned to Professor McGonigall and asked: "Is that what it is?"
"Yes." McGonigall answered.
"So you were insulting my friend." Lily answered
"Welllll…." Draco answered.
"All right." Lily said motioning for Hermione to join her. "Apologize."
"What?" Draco and the other Slytherins asked.
"Apologize to her." Lily said as she pulled Hermione next to her.
"But…"
"I said apologize to her Draco." Lily said eyeing Draco.
"But Lily…"
"Draco…" Lily said.
"Sorry Granger." Draco mumbled looking down at the floor.
"I couldn't hear that Draco." Lily said. "Speak up."
"Sorry Granger." Draco said looking up at meeting her eyes.
"Apology excepted." Hermione said surprised.
"Now let's go." Lily said as she took Draco's arm and began to lead him down the hall. "We have to get to History of Magic."
The Gryffindors watched as Lily and Draco led the Slytherins away.
"Your cousin was pretty angry wasn't she?" Hermione asked Raya as the Gryffindors made their way to Charms.
"Angry doesn't even begin to describe what she was feeling." Raya said turning in the direction her cousin had gone.
"I didn't mean for her to get that angry." Lavender said from behind Raya.
"Don't worry about it." Raya said smiling at what Lavender had said. "She'll get over it really quick, but I don't think Draco or any other Slytherin is going to be calling any students anything anytime soon."
"Are you sure she'll be okay?" Hermione asked.
"Yea." Raya answered. "You'll see at dinner."
That night at dinner everyone was talking about what had happened earlier that day. When Lily walked in with the other Slytherins all conversation stopped in the Great Hall.
"What?" Lily asked loudly.
All the students turned back to their tables and began talking amongst themselves.
Lily made her way to the Slytherin table and took a seat with Draco beside her. She talked to him and the other Slytherins as if nothing had happened earlier. All the Slytherins had talked to her but they all were careful about what they said.
"Are you guys ready for class tomorrow?" Lily asked the Slytherins with a smile on her face.
"I don't know." Draco said remembering the events of the previous week.
"You said you were going to take it with me." Lily said.
"I know." Draco replied as the doors to the Great Hall opened.
"Mom!" Raya yelled from the Gryffindor table as Lucivar, Marian, Hallevar, and Karla stepped through the door. Raya didn't bother running around the table but flew over the table and at her mom.
Everyone watched with open mouths as Raya's wings pumped allowing her to fly to her mother.
"I guess that's her mom." Draco said to Lily who had stayed in her seat.
"Yea." Lily said smiling as she stood up and stood up on the chair.
"Lily, get down." Draco said slightly embarrassed that Lily would stand up on her seat in front of everyone.
"I'll be back." Lily said as she began to air walk to the small group at the door.
"What the…."
"What in the world?"
"How does she do that?"
"Where did she learn that?"
Lily ignored the comments of all the amazed students as she reached the group and gave everyone a hug. "Welcome back."
"Kiss Kiss." Karla said smiling as she hugged Lily.
"How is everyone?" Lily asked after she'd hugged everyone.
"Excuse me."
The group from Kaeleer turned to face Dumbledore who had approached them when they weren't paying attention.
"Yes?" Karla asked looking at the Headmaster.
"If you would like to join us for dinner we can add four chairs to the table." Dumbledore said.
"That will be fine." Karla said as she looked to the head table. "If you don't mind is there any way you can spread them out amongst the other teachers. It will give us a chance to meet the professors."
"Of course." Dumbledore said as four chairs appeared spread out amongst the professor.
"We'll see you girls after dinner." Karla said as the girls headed back to their table and the four adults followed the headmaster to the head table.
"I'm so glad you guys made it." Lily said. She was standing outside of the Great Hall with the Slytherins, Gryffindors, Professors Dumbledore and McGonigall and the group from Kaeleer.
"We're looking forward to the class tomorrow." Lucivar said looking at Draco who unconsciously took a step back.
"Where are you guys staying?" Lily asked.
"I have set up a room for them somewhat like your houses." Dumbledore answered. "They will have a main room and there are four bedrooms off of it each with it's own bathroom."
"Okay." Lily said smiling.
"What's this about somebody wanting your blood?" Karla asked Lily.
"Our potions master." Lily replied. "A potion we made in our first week of school screwed up because of our blood."
"How do you know it was because of your blood?" Karla asked.
"Our potion was doing great until we both added our blood to our potions." Lily answered.
"Okay." Karla answered. "Well I'll work with him tomorrow while you girls are at practice."
"Are you sure?" Lily asked. "I can stay and help you."
"Nice try Lily." Lucivar said a knowing smirk crossing his face. "You can't get out of it that easily."
"I'll be fine." Karla said laughing.
"Are you sure?" Raya asked smiling at her father.
"I'm sure." Karla answered.
"All right." Lily answered. As she gave them hugs Lily said: "I'll see you tomorrow then. We should get back to our common room."
"We'll see you tomorrow." Marian answered.
"Bye." Lily said as the Slytherins made their way down to the dungeons.
"What do you think of this place so far?" Lucivar asked his daughter as they walked in the opposite direction that the Slytherins had taken.
"I like it so far." Raya said.
"What about the people that your cousin lives with?" Lucivar asked.
"I don't know too much about them." Raya said not wanting to reveal what had happened earlier that day.
"How do they seem?" Lucivar asked as the Gryffindors all looked at each other wondering why Raya didn't tell her father what she knew about the Slytherins.
"They seem somewhat arrogant at times." Raya said truthfully. "They seem to think a lot of themselves."
"Do you think your cousins safe with them?" Hallevar asked picking up the look the Gryffindors had exchanged.
"Safe." Raya laughed. "They're all scared of her."
"Good." Lucivar said. Then after thinking about it a bit he asked: "Why are they scared of her."
"She's lost her temper a few times since she's been here." Raya said. "They know not to get her mad."
"Why has she lost her temper?" Lucivar asked.
"There's a rivalry between her house and my house." Raya answered.
"So you two have gotten into fights." Marian said worriedly.
"No." Raya answered. "The people in the two houses have gotten into it and Lily has been the one to get in the middle of it."
"Well she does have a short temper." Marian said smiling as the arrived at a tapestry with a young girl and a knight.
"We'll see you guys later." Hallevar said as they stopped in front of the tapestry. "This is our room."
"Bye." Raya said hugging everybody. "We'll see you guys later."
"We'll see you guys tomorrow on the practice field." Lucivar said.
"Okay." Raya said as they rounded the corner.
"Tomorrow should be interesting." Hallevar said.
"Twilights Dawn." Lucivar said as he moved the tapestry and a door was revealed. Addressing Hallevar and Marian he said: "Make sure you get enough rest you two."
"We will." Hallevar said as they headed towards their rooms.
"Good." Lucivar said. "Karla will you be okay with the potions master tomorrow?"
"Yes." Karla answered as she opened the door to her room.
"Are you sure?" Lucivar asked. He still didn't trust Snape.
"I'll be fine." Karla said turning around and facing Lucivar who stood in the doorway of the room he would be sharing with Marian.
"All right." Lucivar said. "You will call me if you need me."
"Of course." Karla said smiling.
"Good." Lucivar said as Karla closed her door and Lucivar shut the door to his room.
