Gryffindor's Lily
Walking down Diagon Alley, I kept on looking at my list of books that I would need. Going from shop to shop, James, Albus and I got our books and equipment for the year. After we all have everything we go to Ollivander's wand shop, where everyone waits outside except for me.
"Hello?" A man comes around the corner appearing from behind a set of shelves.
"Lily Potter," He said, "I was wondering when I would see you." He walked down the aisle in front of me and pulling a box out to bring to me.
"Try this." I took the wand from him and waved it. I stared in amazement as a medium sized doe appears in front of me, winking as it runs around me and then vanishing. Looking back up at Mr. Ollivander, he took the wand from me.
"Yes. I made this wand myself a long time ago, only for the bravest and one who has a strong heart." Giving him the nine galleons for the wand, he gives me the wand.
"Thank you Mr Ollivander." While I walk out, I can tell James and Albus were both looking in the window the whole time I was there.
"How was Ollivander's?"
"Don't pretend that you two weren't looking through the window, I saw your faces." They both blush at this and look away.
"Your patronus is a doe." I look at James in confusion.
"What's a patronus?"
"The spell that pushes away dementors, but if you are just practicing, it shows up as an animal. Yours is a doe."
"I think even mum and dad were surprised when they saw that your first spell was as complicated as that."
"What can I say…? I'm a Potter." We all chuckle for a while and talk until mum and dad come back.
"Got everything?" We all nodded and I walked over to mum. She was carrying my cauldron with my books inside.
"We'll floo." I nod in agreement since I hate apparition. It always feels as though my stomach was being swished around when we apparate. It takes us a longer than the boys to get home since they apparated with dad.
Walking to the door I open it and let my new owl fly to the perch were the rest of the family owls are. Then I start to read all my books but I find Potions, Defence against the Dark Arts and Charms the most entertaining to read.
With dad helping me to push the trolley in the right direction, the boys go through the wall with mum.
Dad pushes the trolley forward and me along with it. I closed my eyes and then the next thing I knew, the voices of people talking filled me.
Once I open my eyes, I see the train and a whole load of students. The red hair sticks out in the crowd and we immediately walk over to the Weasley-Potter clan. James walks me over to the place where we drop off our trunks and owls and takes my trunk off the trolley.
"Geez Lils. What have you got in here?!" I chuckle under my breath at this.
"Just the necessities." While walking back I can hear James mumbling under his breath in the distance, I see the outline of cameras but James ushers me onto the train after seeing them. He always was the more protective of when towards the Prophet and photographers.
Almost every big decision or outing we go to ends up in the first few pages of the Prophet much to my dad's dismay.
When we board the train and it starts leaving, I wave good bye to mum and dad and promise to write to them soon. When they are totally out of sight, I sit down in the seat closest to the window.
After the usual chatter within the family, the trolley comes along and James gets me a chocolate frog. I open it and the frog jumps into my hand and stays there.
"No fair, I haven't got a lucky jump once." I muttered before letting the frog jump around the carriage but somewhere along the way, someone ate it. Picking up the card from underneath, I read it.
Godric Gryffindor
One of the four founders of Hogwarts. The house Gryffindor is named in his owner and students in this house are brave.
Once I put the card in my bag, I go to get changed into my robes. Trying not to step on anyone's feet, I safely get out of the carriage. After finding the change rooms, I got change into my robes.
Walking back it seems to take forever. Looking out the window it's getting darker outside. Not looking where I'm going, I trip but I don't hit the ground. Feeling an arm around my waist, the person pulls me back up.
"Thanks." I know get a closer look at him. He's probably in Al's year but his blond hair really suits him.
"No problem."
"Lily?" I turn around knowing that the boy who just stopped me from falling was about to say something. "Where have you been…" He then looks behind me and grips my arm and pulls me behind him.
"Get away from my sister Malfoy." The boy steps back.
"I didn't know she was your sister." He then turns around and James drags me back to the carriage but stops in front of it.
"You okay?"
"Yeah. I just tripped and that boy caught me." Hearing him curse under his breath I know this isn't good.
"Look Lil. I don't want you going anywhere near Scorpius Malfoy."
"Not likely, you've told me what he's like." I then opens the door to the carriage allowing me to go back to my seat.
When the train stops Hugo and I, group with the other first years to go to the boats. Hagrid takes up one whole boat while Hugo and I, take a boat with three other people.
Walking through the castle to the Great Hall, it seems like forever. After a while we are called into the Great Hall and walk to the front.
"When I call your name please come up the stairs and I will place the sorting hat on your head." It seems like forever until my name is called out.
"Lily Potter." I walk up the steps and sit on the stool. When the Professor places the hat on my head, I instantly feel it there.
"Ah. Another Potter. Brave and a lot of courage. So, I'll put you in… Gryffindor!" When the hat is taken off me I run over to the Gryffindor table where James and Al have saved me a seat in between them.
"Good job Lils." They both give me hugs and we then all focus on the sorting. Once everyone is sorted the Headmistress makes an announcement.
"First years please note that the forbidden forest is out of bounds and have a good term." Food then appears in front of me and everyone digs in. By then time I've finished a plate I'm full and can't eat anymore.
Once the feast is over, the family left Hugo and I to be escorted by the prefect along with the rest of the first years to the common room.
It's huge and even better than what my brothers had described to me. When we walk up to our dorms Hugo and I say good night and go into our separate dorms.
"Hi I'm Anna." I wave to her.
"Holly."
"Clara."
"Kate."
"I'm Lily." I said quietly and we fell asleep after chatting for almost an hour, learning the little things about each person.
