On the train home. you sit in a compartment alone, starring out the window. Draco steps in and looks around. "Ware's Crabbe and Goyle?"
"Crabbe went searching for food and Goyle is out handing out candy to all the little kiddies'"
"When is he going to get over that?"
"I don't know."
"Were are you going to be this summer?"
you grown, "Stuck with muggles, and Harry at No. 4 Privet Drive. You?"
"At home at Malfoy Manor."
"Well, if your dad gives you a hard time, write me."
"I'll write to you anyway. I don't want you to suffer more than you have to."
"Your so sweet!!" The train pulled to a stop and you collected your things and walked with Draco out to the muggle side of the wall. You saw the Dursleys waiting for you and Harry. They were staring at you and looking like they would rather leave you and Harry here. "Good bye Draco, I'll miss you and await your letters."
"As will I, Lila. And I know that sounded really cheesy."
"I don't care." You reached up and gave him a kiss. He held it for a long time until Lucius and his wife Narcissa came up to you.
"Draco dear,"
"Oh, yes mum."
"Good bye Lila."
"Bye Draco. Oh, Lucius, Don't abuse Draco in any way, I will find out." He nodded and the Malfoy's left.
Harry, Ron and Hermione walked thru the portal and up to you. "Ware were you on the train, Lila?"
"I was with Draco."
"I still don't know how you can stand him."
"Well, he's my boyfriend."
"We know, Ron just meant, oh, never mind. I gotta go, my mum's here. Bye!!"
"See ya, Hermione."
"Bye." The boys say. You nod.
"Ron! Mummy's over there with Charlie!!" Ginny said tugging at Ron's sleeve.
"Bye you two!! Yes Ginny, I'm coming."
"Bye Ron!!"
"See ya. Well Harry, Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and Dudley are over there. Ready to end happiness?"
"Not Really, but I have no choice." You and Harry push your trunks over to them.
When you got to No. 4 Privet Drive, you and Harry lugged your trunks up to your room. "Were sharing a room?"
"Ya, Uncle Vernon is too cheep to let me take my own room." You lowered Dev's cage onto your trunk and looked around the small room. They had set up a old army cot in the corner. It was falling apart.
"I'll take the Cot, you can have the bed."
"You sure Harry?"
"Ya."
"Okay." You opened Dev's cage and let her stretch her wings.
"Lila, Why don't you have an owl?"
"I did, his name was Barlow. But Dudley sat on him."
"What kind was he?"
"Great Horned."
"Dev was Fay's, she also had an owl but she gave me Dev when she found out what happened to Barlow."
"Fay had an owl?"
"Ya, a Barn Owl named Gan. Goyle has him now."
Life during the summer wasn't that bad. You could go anywhere as long as you were back before or at the same time as your cousin and Draco wrote to you every day. You sat under a tree in the park, reading Draco's latest letter to you. This one had come with a small package, a silver ring with an emerald. It resembled a snake. You slipped it on your finger, it fit perfectly. Draco's Letter. Dear Lila, I miss you so much, I can't wait until school start's up again so I can see your face every day. Mum doesn't know why Father is listening to you. I don't plan on telling her. I pretty much have run of the Manor now! I hope you like the ring, I had it made and personalized for you months ago but it just came in. With all my love, Draco. End letter
"Well, well boys what do we have here?" you look up from the letter and see a group of guys, they all were muscular and they wore leather and had an ear pierced.
"Back off." You mutter, slipping the letter in your pocket, and standing.
"Woh, sweetheart, you ain't goin anywhere." Said the boy who seemed to be the leader grabbing your arm and pushing you back to the tree. "Let me go you muggle Ferret!!"
"Oh, a feisty one we found!"
"Let's have some fun!" the leader stepped towards you and the others formed a circle around you.
"Ted's getten some!" you herd a boy mutter. Ted grabbed your arm and started to pull you closer to him. You make a fist and punch him and kick his… ya.
"Son of a!!" He straitened himself and grabbed you and another guy held you so you couldn't move. Ted ripped off your shirt and you screamed and tears of fear started falling.
He was starting on your Braw when you heard a voice shout over the cheering. "LET HER GO, FASTON!!" You saw Harry, anger on his face.
"Potter?" the guys laughed. "You standing up to us?"
"LET HER GO." Harry warned.
"What's she to ya?"
Harry ran forward and knocked Ted over. "She's my sister."
Harry somehow got the gang away and helped you up. He gave you his T-shirt when he saw your shirt in a unworkable condition. "I hate Muggles!!"
"They aren't all like that, Lila."
"Not from what I have seen."
Finally the Big Day came, your Birthday. The Day you'd put your plan to action. You and Harry went to the middle of the woods in the park outside town. "Why did you take me out here?"
"I wanted to spend my, our birthday away from muggles."
"Oh." Suddenly a darkness descended over the woods and hooded figures surrounded you. The death eaters.
The death eaters closed in and Voldamort appeared before you and Harry. He nodded to one of the death eaters and, as planed he grabbed your arms and pulled you away. I think I'll tell you your plan now. The plan; on the selected date, otherwise known as Your/his birthday, you were to lower Harry to that spot. To get rid of suspicion of your part in this, you were to be taken away. And Voldamort will do his job. This way, if something goes wrong, you're still free and "innocent". End Plan.
"Okay! Let go of me you filthy little maggot!!" you were well away from the group. You sat on a log and looked at the ring Draco had given you.
"Miss, We've been here for two and a half hours! Don't you think tha-"
"Shut up ye Dumb-show of a man!" you role up your sleeve to look at your mark. "When we can go back, they will signal us and…" you stared as the mark on your arm started disappearing. It faded until it was gone, as if it had never been there. "Something's wrong." You murmur
"What?"
"Shut up! Just go home!"
"But, Miss,"
"That was not a request, it was an order! Get!!"
"Yes, Miss." He left you. You made your way back to where Harry and Voldamort were. A thread of magic linked Harry and Voldamort's wands. All of Voldamorts spells were reversing themselves, except for the killings; shadow like figures just fell out of the wand. You step into the small clearing, wide eyed at what you saw. Then there was a flash and you fell to the ground unconchess…
You wake up to someone shaking you, you grown and open your eyes and see three figures around you, as your vision clears, you see that it's Harry, Dumbledor, and the Minister of Magic. "How are you feeling, Lila?"
"I, where is Voldamort?" the minister jumped at the name but ignored it.
"Still alive, but barely, he and the one follower with him Disapparated away when we arrived."
You look around; you were on a couch in Dumbledor's office. "Um, why are we at school?"
"It's safe here, and I also have some business with you."
"Me Professor?"
he nodded slightly. "After you were put into Gryffindor, the hat told me it only put you there to be with, and get to know Harry. So I let it go. But this year I think you should be were you truly belong. Now I know what house it had said last year would be suited for you, but it may have changed so we will do this the right way this time. Do you feel well enough to be resorted?"
"I put on a hat, I think I can handle that."
"Okay." He slipped the hat over your head.
"Ah, I wondered when I'd see you again, after I did that, well anyway, Hmm, You have changed a bit now haven't you? But you still have a strong streak that should go to Slytherin, yes you'd do best there. SLYTHERIN!!"
. Back "home" with the Dursly's. You lean over your open trunk replacing your old Gryffindor robs with your new Slytherin robs. Harry walked in and closed the door and stared at you. "What?"
"Y-yo-you're a, a Slytherin!!"
"Oh Harry! Don't act so surprised!"
"What do you mean?"
"Haven't you ever wondered why I've made friends in Slytherin and not any in Gryffindor?"
"What about Hermione and Ron?"
"They are YOUR friends, Harry, not mine."
"Lila…"
"They were only a Acquaintances."
"What are you doing?"
"Writing a letter to Draco."
"Malfoy? Why?"
"Are you forgetting the fact that Draco is my Boyfriend?" with a grown Harry sat on his cot and pulled out a textbook. You turned and started to write with glowing green ink; Letter Dear Draco, I have a surprise for you! I'm in Slytherin this year!! The Hat sorted me for real!! I can't wait for school to start up in a few weeks. I'll be at Diagon alley next week thru the day we leave on the train. Meet me? Love Lila. End. You gave the letter to Dev and told him to take it to Draco. He swooped out the window into the night.
You sat in the Leaky Caldron, eating Spaghetti; Harry was out getting the rest of his school supplies. You couldn't believe your eyes when you saw the amount of money your parents had left you and Harry. You had never held a Galleon before, but now your handbag was loaded with handfuls of Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts. "LILA!! HI!!" you turn at the sudden call, and see Hermione, Ron, and his family.
"Hi, Harry's at the book shop."
"I'm going to surprise him then, want to come?"
"No, I'll stay and talk to Lila." Ron walked out the door and Hermione sat by you.
"This is our last year!! I'm so excited!! But at the same time sad."
"Ya,"
"And look!! I got my new Head girl Gryffindor badge!! And mum had this made for me!" She showed you a necklace with the Gryffindor colors and mascot on it. "I can't wait to get back in Gryffindor tower, can't you? Therese supposed to be a surprise there."
"I'm not going to go into Gryffindor tower, ever."
"Huh? Why? What are…"
"I was resorted."
"Why?"
"Because I was only put in Gryffindor to get to know Harry."
"So what house are you in? Hufflepuff? Ravenclaw?"
"Slytherin." You smirk at her shocked expiration, and took the last bite of your spaghetti. "Ta!!" you got up and left Hermione sitting there, wide-eyed.
On your way out you ran into Harry and Ron, Harry had been saying something but fell silent when he saw you. You cock your head and smiled. Harry had not talked to you since you were put in Slytherin and your smiles made him jumpy. "Hi Lila! Harry was just telling me that you got resorted. What house are you in now?"
Your smile widened, a sparkle came in your eyes. "Slytherin!!" you say and watch him fall back in shock. "What? Shocked?" you sneer.
Suddenly a hand covered your eyes and you heard Draco's voice say; "Guess who!" "Draco!!" you turn to face him. "I can't believe that Dumbledork resorted you!! In SLYTHERIN no less!!"
"I KNOW!! Oh, Thanks for the ring, I LOVE IT!!"
"I thought you would." He grinned. "You have your shopping done yet?"
"Yes, but I want to make a quick stop."
"Were, Lila?"
"The Quidditch store, I need a broom if I'm going to try out for the team."
"You're trying out? What position? Keeper, better, or chaser?"
"Chaser, I've always had a knack at it, and seeker but I don't want to take your job."
"Thanks." You slipped your arm in his and headed to the shops.
On the train. You marched up the hall, looking for the food trolley. You hadn't eaten at all that morning and you were starved. "Lila?" you turn to see Hermione popping her head out of a compartment.
"What?" you half sneer at her.
"You shouldn't be out wondering about at this time, its-"
"YOU aren't the only Head girl, Grainger." You said turning to her. "I am Head girl too."
"How? I mean…"
"If you remember, Pansy was the girl Slytherin Prefect, but she's in Jail and so they decided I should take her spot."
"But…"
"Shut up you ugly mudblood!!"
"The hat was right, I didn't want to believe it but, you ARE a Slytherin!!"
"Better believe it!!" you sneer, giving her an evil look and continue towards the trolley.
Hermione chased after you. "Lila!! I want to know one little thing, what happened to you? A true Slytherin? Mudblood? What made you change for the worse?" she moved so she blocked your path.
"Nothing changed, Move out of my way, O exceeding mudblood puppet!"
"I want answers! Harry hasn't been the same! Ron's in shock. I want…"
"I said MOVE, MUDBLOOD!!"
"You herd her, out of her way." Draco said pushing Hermione aside. "Lila, we have a small, erm, problem."
"What?"
"Its Goyle."
"What now? Is he…?"
"Yes, he's gotten worse, it's not just candy now."
"Oh, god, what is it?"
"He, well, maybe you should see for yourself." Draco grabbed your hand and lead you to a compartment, "Look inside."
You look in the window and gasp. Not only was Goyle handing out candy to the new first years, he was bending down and kissing them on the forehead, like a mother kissing her newborn child. You open the door. "Goyle!! What do you think your doing? Fay's GONE okay? You need to get over her death!! Stop this insanity!!" Goyle looked up at you, "She's gone, she's not coming back."
You said firmly. Goyle sank to the ground crying like a baby. You turn and walk out to Draco. He looked horrified, "Lila, I thought you said we need to let him be and…"
"It has been going on too long, he needs to get over it. He'll be fine."
"Lila, I have something to take care of, I'll meet you in our compartment."
"What one did you find?"
"Our stuff is in number seventeen."
"Okay," You walk away from Draco and finally find the trolley; you buy some candy and step into number seventeen. It was filled with a group of Slytherins.
"This is for Slytherins only. No offence but you are a Gryffindor, no matter the fact you're a friend."
"Why, Millicent Bulstrode, Have you not herd?"
"Herd what?"
"I got resorted into Slytherin, and I am head girl."
"Really?"
"You bet she is!!" Draco was now in the doorway with Crabbe.
"You were resorted? That's a rare thing to get…"
"I know, But Dumbledork found out that the bloody hat only put me in Gryffindor to be with Harry, so…"
"He brought you in and put you were you belong?" asked Blaze.
"Yes, no longer am I a Slytherin In Gryffindor robs."
After the feast, on your way to Slytherin Common room. You and Draco was almost to the Stone wall that opens as the doorway to the Common room. "Son." You and Draco turn to see Lucius.
"What?" Lucius stepped you to Draco and put his arm around his shoulders. You step back as He whispers something to Draco. Draco looked slightly shocked. And Lucius handed something to Draco and he pocketed it
"Lucius? What are you saying to him?" you sneer.
"Nothing."
"Listen, No matter what Happened That day, I still out rank you."
"And If your Mark is seen, you'll be put to death."
"They won't be seeing it." You showed him your arm.
"Just because it's gone physically don't mean I still don't have power over you."
"Fine! You were going to find out sooner or later"
"Dad!! I'll tell her. Go away!!"
Draco pulled you into
an empty classroom. "Lila, I was going to ask you this at
graduation, but," he got down on his knees and pulled out the Box
his Father had given him, and took your hand. "Will you marry me?"
you look at him shocked, he opened the box and showed you the ring;
the green diamond glimmered in the dim light.
"Y-YES!! YES DRACO!!!" He smiled and slipped the silver ring on your finger and stud up. You and him kissed, not letting go of each other.
You and Draco walk into the Slytherin Common room in each other's arms. "Looks like Goyle's back to normal." Draco said pointing.
Seeing you and Draco, Goyle shuffles over to you. "Fay's Back!!"
"What?"
"She's Back, she's a ghost, but she's back!!" At that moment, Fay's ghostly figure floated into the room.
"Fay?"
"Yes? OH MY GOD!! LILA, WHAT IS THAT??!" she said pointing at your engagement ring.
"Draco proposed." You said smiling.
On your way to Class. Draco's arm was around your waste, he was leaning in whispering sweet things into your ear, making you giggle and blush.
"Lila?" You grown as you see Harry before you.
"What do you want?"
"I know that you… What is that?" he asked seeing the new ring.
"A ring, what do you think, Stupid?"
"I KNOW it's a ring, but it happens to be on a very important finger."
"That's because it's a very important ring."
"What do you mean?" Harry asked, his eyes wide.
"I proposed idiot!!" Draco said.
"No, no you're not going to-"
"You can't control my decisions, Harry." You said as you and Draco pushed past him. And made your way to class.
