Author Note: Hello All! I was trying to refrain from doing authors notes but alas, this one was very necessary. I know that some of you were very happy/disappointed with the frank/lily development but, I just want to go on record saying that this is a Lily/Scorpius story so keep that in mind. Also the first five chapters were really just an introduction into everything; the main characters and story line really start at chapter 6. This is my first fan fiction so be nice and enjoy .

I woke early Monday morning and slowly prepared for my day. I looked sadly at my green blazers and plaid skirts that I was leaving behind. I would no longer be representing Slytherin but Hogwarts as a whole. I smoothed down the black skirt and jumper with the Hogwarts crest on it, feeling pride that I would be representing my school. I applied my last sweep of mascara and made sure no stray hairs had fallen out of my bun when I heard someone moving the curtains from their bed.

"Good morning Eve. What are you doing up this early? You have another hour before breakfast starts," I said as she sat on the bed next to me. Her hair was laid perfectly on her head as if she hadn't been sleep at all. She looked so innocent in the morning without her makeup on.

"I wanted to talk to you before you left," she said quietly.

I wasn't at all surprised to hear this, "I was wondering when you would come to tell me what was bothering you. I noticed your face the other day when Anna mentioned you both wanting a new look."

She was quiet for a moment before replying, "Well I've been a twin all my life…obviously, we have always done everything the same; everything together. You're the only one who even calls us by our names, most people refer to us as "The Twins" and this summer I just started feeling sick of it. I wanted to feel separate and different from my sister, so I went to get my hair cut. When she saw it she decided she had to cut her hair too! I was miserable about it all summer!"

I sat there feeling shock. I had never guessed that she felt unhappy being constantly attached to her sister. I felt like a bad friend for not noticing sooner.

"Eve you just need to talk to your sister. She loves you and I'm sure she will understand; she might even feel similar, but you will never know until you tell her how you feel."

She hugged me close and we stayed that way for a moment.

"You are right… I'm going to miss you so much Lily. You really are one of my best friends. I know you are afraid, but I guarantee that you will find the courage and strength you have been searching for. Now go before you are late," she said swiping away a stray tear.

"I'll miss you too Eve, give Anna my love when she wakes, and owl me every day!" I said on the verge of tears.

I grabbed my trunk and left the dorms quickly not looking back. I would be back next year after all.

As I came down the last stair I noticed a lone figure leaning against the doorway. With patent leather Ferragamo shoes, perfectly pressed black trousers and jumper, and a crisp white oxford shirt, only Scorpius Malfoy could make a uniform look so good. I blushed at my own thoughts, grateful I am the only person who can hear them.

Get it together lily! Don't embarrass yourself… again. I thought to myself trying to ignore my thoughts on how beautiful his steel grey eyes were with his pale hair and skin.

"Good morning Potter," he bowed slightly then kissed my hand.

I tried very hard to fight off a blush but I'm sure I didn't succeed, "Good morning Malfoy. Are you always this formal?"

"My mother is the Julia Childs of manners, so to answer your question, yes, most of the time." He smiled charmingly at me as I tried to suppress an eye roll.

"Well you can save the theatrics. By the way, where is your trunk and belongings? We should be heading to the headmasters office now to head to Durmstrang."

"I was there thirty minutes early, so I was sent to come and escort you and your things." He said grabbing my trunk.

I snatched it back feeling belittled, "I can carry my own trunk you know!"

He smirked at me, infuriating me further, "While you can carry your trunk, that doesn't mean that you necessarily want to."

Well he has me there, I thought to myself feeling incredibly annoyed.

"Fine, be my guest," I dropped the trunk and turned quickly not really paying attention to where I was headed- SMACK!

I ran face first into the wall. I turned sharply ready to hex Malfoy if he was laughing at me, instead he looked oddly concerned.

"Are you alright Potter?" he said looking me over.

"Yes, I'm fine thank you" I said huffily.

As we exited the Slytherin common rooms we were met by a very different Malfoy.

"Lily!" Ares wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me closely.

"Hello Ares. Were you waiting out here to say goodbye to your brother?" I asked him.

"Yes, but I wanted to say goodbye to you as well. I had a long talk with Scorp yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to speak with you. I'm scared for the both of you, but your both tough, and I just know you will be spectacular!" He grinned at me.

"Well thank you Ares. I can use all the support I can get right now." I smiled a sad smile at him thinking of my own brothers and hugged him closer.

"Alright Rammy, I think that's quite enough. Now give me a hug before I go."

Ares leaned close and whispered in my ear, "I think he's jealous."

I laughed and Ares went and hugged his brother. They had a quick chat and then we were turning to leave before Ares stopped us,

"Promise me you will look after each other," his big blue eyes were so sweet and innocent, how could I say no.

"I promise."

"I promise."

We both said at the same time. Ares smiled and began running towards the Great Hall as me and Malfoy made our way to the headmaster's chambers.

When we entered, the headmaster was standing and speaking quietly with none other than the headmaster of Durmstrang, Viktor Krum. He had to be in his late forties early fifties by now, but he looked as buff as ever. His thick eyebrows and short dark hair were speckled lightly with grey and his nose was very curved suggesting it had been broken many times.

He turned and smiled kindly at me, "Ahhh little Lily Potter! How you have grown! I haven't seen you since you were a little thing, up to my knee."

He hugged me, and patted my back awkwardly. "And who is your second champion?"

Malfoy stepped forward hand outstretched, "Scorpius Malfoy, pleased to meet you sir."

Professor Krum grabbed his hand and shook it hard with a cold look on his face, "Yes, Malfoy, I've…heard stories of your father."

The air was suddenly thick with tension as both men stared at each other coldly.

"Okay! So there are some things we need to go over with both of you, could you please have a seat?" the headmaster said effectively breaking the odd staring match.

We sat down and were promptly handed a sheet of paper filled with classes and a map of Durmstrang. It looked pretty normal for the most part but there were a few classes I was unsure of. I looked it over quickly.

"Now I am sure you are wondering why some of your classes look unfamiliar. Well as it happens, there are a few classes we teach here at Hogwarts that are not offered at Durmstrang. So instead of Herbology, you will both be taking Salveology which is a class on healing yourself and others through magic. This class will be taken privately as you will have to start at the beginning, so you will be taking this class together."

The headmaster paused at this and looked at Malfoy and myself as though waiting for a response. When there was none he continued.

"Also as they do not teach divination at Durmstrang, you will instead be taking Arithmancy. Once again, since neither of you have prior experience in this class, you will be taking it privately and together. Now it looks as though we have covered everything-

Malfoy chimed in, "Wait, professor what about Defense against the dark arts, and care of magical creatures?"

"Well they are slightly different, which is the reason they have different names, but essentially they are the same."

I had a question as well, "Professor, what about my O.W.L.S?"

"Good question Ms. Potter, you will come back here to sit your O.W.L.S, but you will sit out for the Herbology section. I am very proud of the both of you, and I know you will represent Slytherin and Hogwarts to the best of your abilities. Now if that is all you two should be off, wouldn't want to be late for your first day of classes now would you?" he smiled at us both as we gathered our things in preparation to leave.

"Ve are going by portkey, hurry as it is now time to depart," Professor Krum said holding the edge of a dirty old hat.

I quickly grabbed a corner, as did Malfoy, and we were off. We landed in a plush but cold office. It was decorated with red furniture and dark wood. There was one window in the room and bright light was shining through.

Professor Krum opened his arms wide and proclaimed, " 'Velcome to Durmstrang! This is 'vhere you 'vill be staying for the remainder of the year, so please make yourselves at home. In my years as headmaster here I have tried to make it what you would call "Cozier" I hope I've succeeded. Now, quickly, follow me. I must show you to your 'vooms so that you can have some breakfast before you start class."

He moved quickly and I struggled to catch up in my heels dragging along my trunk.

"Need help with that Potter?" Malfoy smirked at me.

"No. I do not need your help. I am perfectly capable thank you very much!" I carried on trying to move past him and ignore the butterflies that erupted in my stomach when he smirked at me that way.

"Don't be so stubborn Potter. I'll take that for you." He lifted my trunk effortlessly and continued on carrying both trunks as though they weighed nothing at all. I guess being Captain of the Slytherin Team had done some good after all. I wasn't inclined in the least bit to take it back.

Faster than I thought, we were standing in front of a set of doors.

"Ms. Lily your door is to the right, and Mr. Malfoy, your door is on the left. Now unlike Hogwarts we do not have magic preventing the entering of the opposite sex, so I expect you both to act as mature adults."

I blushed at his insinuation and quickly entered my room. It was small and cold. The walls were concrete and there was a red rug laid out on the floor. The bed was actually quite large, and was also dressed in red coverings. There was a dark wooded desk in the corner in front of one large window that looked out into the mountains.

"Quickly, quickly now, grab 'vour books, let us go," Professor Krum said impatiently in my door way. So I grabbed my things and we continued on to what I assumed was their version of the Great Hall.

"I know from my time at Hogwarts that this is much smaller than your school, but that also means, you 'von't have such a hard time finding your 'vay around."

He came up to two great big oak doors and opened them; inside was about 20 round tables and one long table that looked over the round tables. Everyone stopped eating their breakfast and turned to look at us.

"Do not be afraid; come with me so that I can introduce you both." Professor Krum said walking ahead.

We followed somewhat reluctantly. People stared and whispered and for the first time I realized this was an all-boys school, as one of them whistled at me. I blushed deeply and walked quickly to the front.

"Good morning everyone! I would like to finally introduce the two champions from Hogwarts School of 'Vitch Craft and 'Vizardry, Lily Potter and Scorpius Malfoy! I expect that you 'vill all treat them kindly, especially Ms. Potter as she is a personal friend of mine. " He winked at me before continuing, "It is now ten to eight so you should all be on your 'vay to your classes. Have a great day everyone and 'vork hard!"

Everyone began leaving the room as some last minute people ran in to grab fruit or muffins.

"Okay you two, grab something quickly and be on your 'vay. Your first class is together on the third floor in the 1st room. I 'vill introduce you at dinner to the other champions, but for now run along before you are late."

He turned to speak to one of the teachers leaving us to our own devices.

"Well I guess it's just you and me Potter," Malfoy said grabbing an apple.

"Yeah I guess so." I said grabbing a muffin.

"Right this way my lady," He began walking towards the door. I rolled my eyes and followed, feeling completely unprepared for the day ahead of me.
