Chapter 5

History of Magic.. Dun Dun Dun! Maddy and I walked into class Professor Binns was sleeping in his rocking chair (mind you it was the same one he died on). Prof. Binns had a soft, monotone voice that was impossible to listen to for long periods of time. Even us Ravenclaws get tired of his voice and fall asleep in class from time to time. All I know is that I now have a three foot essay on the Gargoyle Strike of 1911 due tomorrow, great.

"Hey, Maddy, what's next?"

"Um Herbology with the… ugh Slytherins..."

"Great. We should probably start getting down there..."

"Shall we?"

"Yip-dy Scapty bom de skippy bom de skippy bom de-a-bom de-a-bom" we both sing together, then start cracking up on our attempt of the High School Musical (an awesome Muggle movie) quote. As we skipped down to Greenhouse 1, we passed Santana, and I grabbed her arm. She screamed, then laughed and joined until we were laughing too hard to continue skipping. We walked the rest of the way, and waited outside until we calmed down enough to walk without falling over.

When we finally stabilized we entered the greenhouse and looked around to see our fellow Ravenclaws on one side and slimy Slytherin's on the other. We took three open spots on the end of the table next to each other. I sat on the end with Santana next to me and Maddy next to Santana's brother Danny. Santana and I could tell from the blush on Maddy's cheeks that she had a crush on him I'd ask her later about that.

A few minutes later Professor Longbottom showed up and we began to learn about the uses of dittany.

"Well this is exciting," Santana muttered to me sarcastically.

"Definitely," I replied.

"Shush you two Professor Longbottom is speaking and I don't want to miss anything he says," Maddy said in a hurried tone. Towards the end of class Professor Longbottom made an announcement

"Alright you all I want a foot long essay on the uses for dittany and their pros and cons due on Thursday," he announced. Groans could be heard throughout the classroom, I mean seriously! Homework on the first day! That's a little harsh. After class that ended Maddy, Santana, and I headed up to Ravenclaw common room for our break.

We reached the bluebird it asked,

"Voiceless it cries, Wingless flutters, Toothless bites, Mouth less mutters." The three of us thought for a moment then Santana answered,

"The wind."

"That is correct," the bluebird answered. Portrait opened and we all walked in. We all hurried up the stairs to our dorm room. Once we arrived I pulled out my homework and begin to do my Herbology assignment. Santana threw off her bag and jumped on her bed closing her eyes and taking a deep breath of relaxation. Maddy sat on the edge of Santana's bed and asked.

"How's everybody's first day going?" Santana didn't reply. But I said,

"It's amazing to just be at Hogwarts, but it sure is a lot of walking. And Maddy? Do you have something you wanna tell us?"

"No, not that I can't think of, why?"

"Well I kinda saw somebody blushing next to Danny Finnegan. Are you sure you're not wearing blusher?"

"Of course not Lily you know I'm not allowed to wear makeup, wait you think I like Danny?"

"Yeppers! Yikes did I just say that? I'm spending too much time with James..."

"Well you have lived with him your whole life... But that's not the point, why would you think that I would like Danny. I mean seriously even though his hair is perfect and his eyes are gorgeous, does not mean I like him." As she finished saying that, Santana and I looked at each other and started squealing. As soon as we started Taylor walked in asking why we were fangirling.

Santana somehow managed to say, "Maddy has a crush!"

Taylor dropped everything and joined us on the bed. "Who is it? I need to know, nothing interesting is happening!"

Maddy replied, "Two things: 1. I don't want this around the school and 2. I DO NOT LIKE HIM!"

"Did it come out like I would tell everyone?" We nodded our heads. "Oops. I would never tell anyone's secret, you can ask Santana."

"It's true," Santana agreed. Maddy eyed Santana.

"Do you have something you want to share Santana?"

Before this could get messy I told Taylor Maddy's crush. "WHAT? You mean San's brother?" I nodded my head. Taylor started squealing.

"Just because I said I like his hair and eyes does NOT mean I like him."

"You said his hair is perfect and that his eyes are gorgeous," I reminded her. She had a look of disbelief in her eyes, and then admitted that maybe she did have a little crush.

"Well I guess I kind of sort of like him... I mean I do get butterflies when I'm around him, and it always seems like the temperature rises like 20 degrees whenever we have eye contact."

"You definitely like him Maddy."

"Aw we could become sister in laws," Santana exclaimed giggling.

I started laughing, and then Maddy pointed out, "Oh and I think Lily has a crush too."

"You wouldn't dare."

"Oh really?" She questioned smirking. She screamed at the top of her lungs,

"LILY LIKES SCORPIUS!" Everyone's jaw dropped. I closed my eyes and heard a BAM! A shark jump out of nowhere. Then a French dog that eats bacon starts throwing lizards everywhere and licks me in the face and runs away. Or that's what I was hoping cause when I opened my eyes everyone was still looks at me.

"You like Scorpius Malfoy," Taylor asks.

"Why is that the only thing you lot talking about? I mean none of what just happened means anything?" As I gestured to the dog drool on my face.

"Anyways isn't his dad like your dad's second worst enemy after Voldemort?"

"No, they are co-workers now, and my dad was one of Mr. Malfoy's groom's men, they are best mates now."

"Also you never denied that you like him." I started moaning and groaning as I stomped down to the common room to find my ENTIRE family rolling on the floor laughing, as James cleared his throat and said "How did you like your shark and dog?" Then broke down in laughter.

"What the hell was that," I screamed.

"Well, as you know, I, Teddy Lupin, am very skilled at transfiguration."

"You didn't..."

"I did. By the way that was a pillow licking your face."

I proceeded in throwing a pillow starting a giant pillow fight between all my cousins while saying, "We were in the middle of a very serious conversation, just so you know."

"Anything you want share Lily," Vic asked as Maddy came running down the stairs yelling 'DON'T YOU DARE SAY A WORD' over and over.

"Sorry Vic, I'm sworn to secrecy as is everyone that was in the room is."

"Swear on the River Styx," Maddy added, out of breath from her trip down stairs.

"I swear on the River Styx. Anyways what are you all doing up here in Ravenclaw Tower?"

"You can ask your brothers," Rose said.

I turned to glare at James, Al, and Teddy. "Al and I had the fabulous idea for a prank, and we knew that you hadn't been pranked yet, otherwise we would have known, so we decided to prank you. Just think of it as a welcoming gift to Hogwarts."

"I will not think of a prank as a gift! Plus I'm telling mum." I pouted and crossed my arms across my chest."

"But it is a gift, 'cause you will probably tell other people, now others who like pranking will know that you are taken and will not prank you, so, you really should be thanking us." He said with a smug look on his face and crossed his arms over his chest mirroring my stance, challenging me.

"Do you really want Mum to find out?"

"PLEASE DON'T! I'll... We'll do anything."

"DON'T BRING US INTO IT WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!"

"Well I know Albus isn't mean enough to come up with any pranks..."

"HEY!"

"... But Teddy actually did the prank..."

"Curse my bloody greatness at Transfiguration!"

"Hey! Don't curse in front of the cousins," Vic scolded. Teddy looks at his feet.

"Sorry"

"You told him to do it!" I rounded on James and Teddy sighs of relief.

"But you," she turns on Teddy, "still went through with it." Teddy cringes.

"Now I'm going back up to my dorm writing a letter."

"No, Lil's please."

"Nope you're too late," I said with an evil grin on my face. As i was heading up the stairs I heard Teddy say,

"She sure has a temper like mum." Then there was a course of nods and a few mumbles of 'yeah's and James's 'yeppers'. So i shout a few Bat Boogie Hexes behind me and I'm pretty sure that they hit their targets of James, Teddy and Al because of their screams, and they scream like girls. I smirked and hurried to my bed where I pulled out a piece of parchment and wrote,

"Dear Mum," Then an owl flew in and landed on the foot of my bed with a piece of parchment tied to his foot. I took the parchment and fed Roses owl, Katie a couple of Nutmegs treats and read the note,

"Dear Lily,

Meet me in the library after dinner, we need to hang out, i never get to see my favorite little cousin.

Love,

Rose"
