Its the going back to school chapter!

I hope you all enjoy and could you please leave a review on the way out? Please?


"Elizabeth please hurry up!" Mrs Potter yelled up the stairs as her daughter struggled with her school trunk.

Lizzy looked up and yelled "It won't shut!"

James swanked in "Aww, give it here"

He shut the trunk with ease before dumping it on his sister's foot "Whoops"

Lizzy pulled foot out from under it "Ow! James you..."

Mr Potter came running in "I'm sure it was an accident Lizzy, now come on!"

Lizzy glared at her brothers back as she dragged her trunk downstairs.

Marlene watched them with a smug smile "Told you that you should have packed last night"

Lizzy gave her the finger "Oh shut up"

Unfortunately Mrs Potter saw "If you do that again Elizabeth Potter I will jinx your fingers together!"

Marlene giggled and a blushing Lizzy flounced of to the car to put her trunk in.

James followed her to the car while whistling an annoying quidditch anthem.

Lizzy turned on him "James cut it out!"

James wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up "What sis`, what is the problem my baby sister has?"

Lizzy struggled and kicked his shin "Get of me you prat!"

Fabien and Gideon ran over "What the hell?"

James dropped Lizzy promptly "Just hugging my baby sister!"

Lizzy stood up, looking absolutely livid; "You bastard!"

Obviously this was the moment Mr Potter came outside with Marlene's trunk "Lizzy!"


"Honestly, soon I'm going to have to get a minibus for the school run!" Mr Potter laughed as he looked in his wing mirror at the five teenagers crammed behind him.

Lizzy glared over Marlene to James "Well James will probably get expelled this year so that will make things easier"

James smirked "Sure I will ickle Lizzy, they`ll never catch me!"

Mr. Potter smiled "That wouldn't have anything to do with my missing invisibility cloak would it?"

Lizzy laughed as James went pink "Sorry Dad"

Mr Potter laughed "Don't worry about it; unless of course I die because I didn't have it at work..."

Mrs Potter scowled at her husband "Charlus! Apologise for that remark!"

James grinned "Now you're in trouble dad..."

Mr Potter grinned at his wife "Oh come on Dorea, have a sense of humour!"

Mrs Potter glared at her husband "You said muggle killings were on the increase"

Mr Potter glanced at the back of the car nervously "Let's leave it Dorea..."

James sat up straight "What do you mean mum?!"

Mrs Potter looked embarrassed "Your fathers right James..."

Lizzy ignored her mother "What's going on Dad?"

Mr Potter tried to smile reassuringly but it didn't reach his eyes "Nothing to worry about Lizzy, I promise."

Lizzy turned round to look and the twins, who shrugged in unison and continued their conversation about quidditch.


"Millie how can you have grown again?!" Charlotte complained loudly as the newly dubbed third years dragged their trunks along the train looking for a compartment.

Millie rolled her eyes at Lizzy "Err; I ate food?"

Charlotte frowned "Ha ha, well that's not evident! How are you so skinny?"

Millie posed "Natural beauty!"

Marlene rolled her eyes and indicated to a compartment "How about in here?"

Lizzy flopped in a window seat "Perfect"

Marlene indicated to Vixens wicker cage "What about Vixey?"

Lizzy let her cat out "Aw poor Vixey, you can come on out now."

Charlotte immediately scooped her up "Aww, have you missed your Aunt Charlotte?"

Vixen quite clearly rolled her eyes as she allowed herself to be mauled with kisses.

"Did you just see that?" Millie asked, watching Vixen with interest.

Lizzy looked confused "What? Oh did she roll her eyes?"

Millie grinned "Yeah! Does she do it often?"

Marlene snorted "Its Lizzys cat, what did you expect?"

Lizzy did a small bow "I trained her well"

Charlotte smiled "Now you just need to train James!"

Marlene laughed "Yeah, you`d have to offer Lily snacks!"

The other three stared at her: "What?" Charlotte asked.

Marlene sighed "Scooby Doo? Oh, never mind it's a muggle program..."


"Chess?" Fabien asked; looking slightly sick.

Edgar glared at him "Well you forgot the exploding snap cards!"

Gideon laughed "Yeah but chess is supposed to be unbelievably boring and easy!"

Millie raised her eyebrows "Bing it on ginger!"

Gideon looked nervous "I didn't mean to be rude..."

"Well you were" muttered Edgar under his breath.

Lizzy smirked "If I didn't know any better cous` I'd say you were scared"

Gideon glared at her "Take that back"

Lizzy stuck her tongue "Prove me wrong then!"

Millie leaned forward with a predatory gleam in her eyes "Yeah Gids, put your money were your mouth is!"

Gideon crossed his arms "Don't ever call me that!"

Millie smiled sweetly "When you beat me at chess, until then..."

Gideon laughed weakly "You're joking right?"

Millie winked "Afraid not Gidey bear"

The other third years burst out laughing at that; Fabien wiped a tear out his eye "That's even worse than Lizzy Fizzy!"

Lizzy glared at him "Bite me!"

Gideon lunged for this chance to change the subject "You've been saying that all summer; are you in fact a werewolf?"

Lizzy grinned "Oh yeah totally; and may I just say that you look particularly tasty in this light"

Edgar blinked "Am I the only one who thought that sounded wrong?"

As varying degrees of disgust travelled round the compartment Lizzy kicked him "Edgar!"

Millie coughed "Anyway Gidey bear, we still have a chess game to play!"

Gideon sighed "I will literally beg you to stop doing that"

Millie smirked "Tempting but no. Gidey bear it is chess or torture?"

Gideon sighed "If I lose what happens?"

Marlene grinned "Merciless teasing and we all adapt the nickname."

Gideon glared at Lizzy "I bet Marley was nice before she met you!"

Fabien pulled his brother opposite Millie "Stop trying to change the subject!"

Lizzy leaned in for a better view "Yeah get on with it and play"

Gideon stared at the floor "But I can't remember how?"

Millie grinned even wider "Well you can forfeit the match..."

Gideon scowled at her "Which has the same consequences as losing, right?"

Millie looked like her face might split in half "Yep!"

Gideon slumped back in his chair "You bitch"

Charlotte frowned at him but the other laughed.

Lizzy patted her cousin on the shoulder "You know you love her really"


"So what new subjects are you taking Gidey bear?" Millie asked as if butter wouldn't melt.

He glared at the window and completely ignored her.

Fabien rolled his eyes "He's taking Care of Magical Creatures and Divination like me"

Millie high fived him "Me too"

Charlotte smiled "And me"

Marlene nodded "So am I. What about you Ed?"

Edgar shrugged "I'm doing Care of Magical Creatures but I did Arithmancy instead of Divination"

Lizzy high-fived him "Yeah, let's fight the man together, Divination is a doss anyway!"

Fabien rolled his eyes "Duh, that's why we are taking it!"

Charlotte frowned "So, what else are you doing Lizzy?"

Fabien shook his head "Ancient Runes, she's a closet Ravenclaw if you ask me"

Millie grinned "Ulterior motives if you ask me?!"

Lizzy stuck her tongue out "Oh sod off!"

A voice sounded from the hall "Oh, fine."

Lizzy spun around to see Regulus walking of "Not you!"

She ran after him "I wasn't talking to you; I didn't even see you come in!"

He stopped and let her catch up to him "Oh right"

She kissed him on the cheek "Idiot"

He tensed slightly "I was wondering what you were doing?"

Lizzy shrugged "Just being stupid and laughing about it afterwards. Gideon got a new nickname...What?"

Regulus pouted at the floor "I just... thought you might want to sit together, like as a couple?"

Lizzy crossed her arms "Well yeah ideally but let's face it none of our friends would be particularly pleased would they?"

Regulus bristled "So you are embarrassed by me?!"

Lizzy sighed with frustration "No I'm not! I am just aware that your friends don't like me and..."

"So it's just my friends?" Regulus glared down at her.

Lizzy stepped back "I didn't say that at all! What's wrong with you today?"

Regulus breathed deeply and managed to smile "Nothing. I'm sorry if I misunderstood you."

Lizzy smiled back "It doesn't matter, so where do you want to sit?"

Regulus shook his head "Your right, it's better if we sit with our friends"

Lizzy bit her lip "If you're sure?"

Regulus kissed her "Quite sure, see you later"


"Watch it Shorty!" Gideon snapped as a first year bumped into him accidently.

Charlotte glared at him "Gideon!"

Millie smiled "Yeah bad Gidey bear!"

Marlene looked at the tiny girl "First Year?"

She nodded "Where do we go?"

Marlene took her hand "Catch up with you lot later on"

As they disappeared into the crowd Fabien turned to Gideon "Really not cool man..."

Gideon swore at his brother and stormed off into the crowd.

Fabien stared after him "What the hell?"

Lizzy shrugged "Guess he's in a bad mood?"

Millie bit her lip "Should I go after him?"

Charlotte snorted "No of course not!"

Millie turned on her "What's that supposed to mean?!"

Lizzy stepped between her friends "Come on, otherwise they`ll be no carriages left."

Charlotte stalked of ahead; dragging Lizzy with her "Does she not understand that he's mad at her?"

Lizzy shrugged "He is being really mardy though..."

Charlotte sniffed "Well anyway there's Marlene over there."

Marlene walked over "What was with Gideon?"

Lizzy raised her eyes "Because every boy loves being referred to as a teddy bear?!"

Charlotte blushed "Well actually..."

Marlene coughed loudly "We don't need to know these things Lottie!"

Lizzy grinned making a mental note that Marlene was a bit of a prude.

Marlene turned to Lizzy "Anyway I know but he is your cousin. Surely he`d take teasing with a pinch of salt?"

Lizzy shrugged "Everyone has their off-days"


"So where is Gideon?" Charlotte asked exasperatedly as they scanned the great hall for him.

Marlene pointed "He's with James and Sirius at the top of the table"

Lizzy frowned "How come Remus is sitting on his own?"

Fabien shrugged "Ask him?"

Lizzy rolled her eyes at her cousin as he and the others walked of and slid down next to him; clearly annoying a blushing fourth year girl.

He smiled at her "Oh hi Lizzy, how are you?"

Lizzy smiled back "I'm fine, how come...Is that a prefect badge?!"

Remus laughed, forcibly "So you've discovered my leprosy?"

Lizzy prodded the badge while screwing her nose up "Well I suppose when you come to think of it; it was inevitable."

Remus raised his eyebrows "How so?"

Lizzy rolled her eyes "There are four boys and frankly who else would you pick?"

Remus looked at her "Is that an insult or a compliment?"

Lizzy raised her eyebrows "Compliment; so what's going on with them?"

Remus smiled grimly "Like I said, Leprosy!"

Lizzy sighed and pulled him up "Come on you idiot; they are only winding you up!"

Remus scowled at her "One day I'm going to do this to you and you can see how you like it"

Lizzy grinned and dragged him down the table "You keep telling yourself that Remus."

James stood up dramatically pointing an accusatory finger "Here he is the prefect!"

Lizzy rolled her eyes "Oh give it up James! You must be thrilled that you now have someone in the authority!"

Fabien grinned "Not to mention someone who Lily Evans has to spend time with!"

James slowly grinned "Shift Sirius, Remus is now my official best friend!"

As James bear hugged Remus Sirius collapsed on Lizzy; pretending to sob his heart out.

Lizzy pushed him off "Oh cut it out!"

Sirius glared at her and moved over to Marlene muttering about "Evil Potter siblings"

Lizzy rolled her eyes "Yeah that's me; totally evil..."

Charlotte shushed her as Dumbledore stood up and surveyed the entire hall; preparing for another years opening speech.
