Lily, My Child Always

How to Fail Miserably.

The trip to Hogsmeade had finally arrived. Lillian and Draco had finished the necklace, as it was to be there first try, even though she had made fun of it in the past. She had been able to curse the necklace which would make the receivant deathly ill - hopefully. She was quite talented at charms, but this was a whole different ballpark. Draco was to make sure it went to the right person as Lillian had to meet with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. They all had invited her to have a drink with them after the Potions lesson where they had found that Lillian was telling the truth about being related to Harry. 

Lillian had gotten dressed in black leggings, and an oversized black sweater. She was like her father in the color pallet, as in black, black, and more black. She slipped her hair into a quick messy bun and shook Draco softly, "Draco, get up." 

Draco did nothing. 

Lillian grabbed the water she had beside her bed and poured it on him, "I said get up, we have work to do." 

Draco got up and dried his face with his shirt, "Bloody Hell, Lillian. Did you ever hear of yelling?" He started to comb his hair and get ready. 

Lillian chuckled softly, "Actually I have...water was quicker." she sprayed her perfume on softly and grabbed her mini backpack from the coat rack, "and more entertaining." 

Draco rolled his eyes, "Well, I'm glad my pain amuses you." he changed his shirt and waved his wand, taking the wrinkles from his pants that he had slept in, "I'll head out with the package. You go meet Tweedle-dee, Tweedledum, and Tweedledumbest." 

Lillian nodded, "Already got my part under control. We'll meet back here before dinner in the Great Hall." Before Draco could get anything else from his mouth, Lillian had walked out of the door and made her way to the Great Hall. 

Everyone was scattered amongst the four long tables that filled the hall in no particular fashion. Lillian went and sat with the Golden Trio. 

Harry looked to her, "Oh, hello. Ready for Hogsmeade I assume?" he smiled a bit. Having a sister seemed a bit fun to him. 

Lillian nodded, "Yeah. I've never been, but I've heard that it's wonderful.." 

Ron nodded, "It is. We'll have to show you around. Zonko's joke shop will have the best pranks you can imagine. Honeydukes will be your favorite sweet shop, and then of course you have the other stores like your tailor and owl post." 

Hermione nodded, "Today I think our biggest focus should be the Three Broomsticks. Honeydukes will be packed, and so will the tailor.." 

Lillian looked to Hermione a bit confused, "I get the candy store...but why the tailor? I can't imagine everyone and their Hufflepuff needing their robes lengthened all on the same day.." It was obvious she didn't know what was going on around the school. Her father rarely told her anything, and nothing had ever gotten around to her. 

Harry looked at her, "You don't know?" he questioned, quite shocked. "I thought everyone knew.." Ron and Hermione nodded in agreement. "Hermione, fill in Lillian with the news." 

Hermione nodded, "The school staff decided it would beneficial to host a spring dance, and invite both Beuxbatons and Durmstrang to continue the magical co-operation that the Triwizard Tournament has, just without the risks and death." 

"So they decided to host a Spring Ball instead of a Yule Ball. After the Holiday, the two schools will be joining us for a while to get to know us before the ball. It's quite a huge deal, I must say," Ron added quickly. 

Lillian looked dazzled, "Well, I must say it seems fun. I, however, must doubt I would be attending. Between my father and current relationship status, I do believe I will be sitting this event out.." she chuckled sweetly after. "We should head out, I heard the 10 minute warning from Filch as I came to meet you."
