Liliah Rogers

Cedric pulled Liliah down the stairs.
" What's going on?" Liliah asked.
" I don't know. But everyone is freaking out about something." Cedric told her as he continued to pull her.
They arrived at a huge group of people. They pushed through ending up next to the Weasley twins.
" Whats happening?" Liliah asked.
" Harry found Mrs. Norris hanging like that and the message on the wall." George told them.

" Enemies of the heir beware?" Cedric read.
" It's a warning against Muggle borns." Fred looked worriedly at the girl standing next to her.
" Jesus we can't catch a break." Liliah sighed.
Fred gave her a sad smile and wrapped his arm around her. To his surprise she didn't pull away and slap him but leaned into his side.
Fred looked down at her then up at George and Cedric. Both with a surprise but happy look on their faces.
" What's going on here? Move out of the way." Filch said moving through the group and splitting Liliah and Fred apart.
Liliah moved to let him through and she stayed her spot further from Fred. Fred burned holes into Filch's head, oh how he was going to prank him for moving his sunflower from him.

" Potter. What are you- Mrs. Norris? You murdered my cat?" Filched asked angrily.
" No." Harry shook his head.
" I'll kill ya! I'll kill ya!" Filch grabbed Harry by the robes.
" Argus. What is going- everyone make way to your dormitories. Immediately. Except you three" Dumbledore made his way through the crowd.
The golden trio stayed and everyone else started walking off.
" I have to go to the Hufflepuff dorms. Please make sure Li gets back safe." Cedric told the twins but looked mainly at Fred.
" Of course." Fred nodded.

Cedric turned to Liliah and hugged her and she immediately hugged back.
" Stay safe Gryff." Cedric told her.
" You too Puff." Liliah said.
They pulled apart. Cedric looked hesitant but she nodded and he left with the other Hufflepuffs.
" Shall we?" Fred asked offering her his arm.
" Sure but only because there's a psycho trying to kill me." Liliah took his arm.
Fred smiled proudly and they started walking with George next to them.

The next day Liliah made her way down to the common room. She saw Harry and Ron playing a games of wizard chest.
" Hey boys." She sat down next to Harry.
" Hi Liliah." Harry smiled at her.
" Hey." Ron blushed.
" So I was think this weekend I could start working on your car." Liliah said.
" Yeah sure. Thanks for doing this by the way." Ron smiled.
" No problem it will be a good way to get my mind off everything going on." Liliah shrugged.

The boys looked at each other. While Liliah was trying not to think about the Chamber the boys and Hermione were going to extreme lengths to find out more about it. Hermione walked down the stairs and spotted her friends.
" Hi Hermione." Liliah smiled at her.
" Hello Liliah. Would you mind if I burrowed them?" Hermione asked.
" No problem I should probably head down to breakfast. I've been expecting an owl from my dad so I better not miss it. Bye." Liliah told them as she stood up.

She walked out of the portrait hole and down to the great hall. She sat down at the Gryffindor table. She waited a second before grabbing a piece of toast and buttering it. She placed it on her plate. She couldn't eat she was worried about her dad and Nat. After what felt like forever she heard owls swoop into the the hall. She smiled when she saw her owl, Led Zeppelin. Her and Tony named him that when the owl responded quite happily to Led Zeppelin's song Stairway to Heaven. She tore off a piece of her toast and gave it to the owl then she took the letter from him.

Dear Liliah,

Hi it's dad. I hope everything is going well at school. I hope things are calmer then last year when your teacher had another person on his head and he was an evil dark lord or something like that. Anyways me and Nat are back from our mission. The good news is that we both came back unharmed and Fury is actually alive. But the bad news is S.H.I.E.L.D has been shut down it was being run by Hydra agents. Also I don't know if this is good news or not but the winter solider turned out to be my best friend Bucky. You remember him, I've told you all about him. Hydra ended up kidnapping him and brainwashing him. But he remembered me and even saved my life. Anyways I'll answer all questions at Christmas.

Love you tons,
Dad.

She was extremely confused by the letter. Millions of questions came to mind. But they were all drowned out by the overall relief she felt. Both Nat and her dad were safe. Also Nick was alive. Liliah smiled at the letter and placed it in her bag. Then she picked up her toast and took a bite out of it.

Liliah and Cedric sat in the stands at the Gryffindor vs Slytherin quidditch game. Liliah wore a baggy multi colored sweater tucked into her denim skirt with black see through tights and black booties.

Liliah cheered when Oliver successfully blocked the quaffle from going into the hoop.
Above her in the stands was James and Lily Potter with Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. They were there to cheer on Harry of course but non of them could deny they had alternative motives. James and Sirius watched the game intensely yelling and cheering. But for the red head and werewolf they seemed not to be able to take their eyes off the fourteen year old girl below them. Ever since Lily saw her at Diagon Ally that day she can't stop the same thought from entering her head. Was she the little girl she gave up fourteen years ago? Remus seemed to also have the same question burning in his head.

Liliah gasped and pointed her finger showing Cedric. Lily's and Remus's eyes followed her arm and saw a bludgers chasing Harry around the pitch.
" Why is it doing that?" Liliah asked.
" That's a rogue bludger." Cedric said pressing his binoculars closer to his eyes.
Liliah pulled her glasses from her pocket of her skirt and placed them on. Harry was able to shake the bludger and found the snitch. Both him and Draco started going for it. And it wasn't long till the bludger found Harry again and started chasing him.

" Come on Harry!" Liliah shouted.
Then Draco came flying out into the middle of the pitch. He bounced of the ground and landed with his legs spread out in the spilts. He fell back and groaned.
" Ha!" Liliah and James both pointed their fingers and laughed at the exact same time.
This caused Lily to pale and look at Remus. They both turned to the game just in time to see the bludger hit Harry's wrist. He pulled it back but still headed for the snitch. He fell and landed on his back. Harry lifted his hand to reveal the snitch.

James started jumping up and down cheering.
Lily hit him and pulled him down the stands to check on their son. Remus, Sirius, Ron and Hermione all followed.
" Should we go make sure Harry's okay?" Liliah asked Cedric.
Over these past months Liliah had started feeling a sort of like a momma bear towards the three second years.
" If you want." Cedric nodded.
They started making their way down to the pitch.

" Are you okay Harry?" Hermione asked.
" No I think my arm is broken." Harry sat up.
" Not too fear I can fix it." Lockheart smiled.
" Not you." Harry tried moving away.
" His in so much pain he doesn't know what his saying." Lockheart told us before pulling up Harry's sleeve.
" I really think we should just take him to Madam Pomfrey." Lily said.
" Not to worry Mrs. Potter. I could have been a healer just like yourself if I wanted." Lockheart looked at her.

Lockheart pulled out his wand and said a spell.
He grabbed Harry's arm and it hung backwards. Everyone cringed.
" Ah yes that can happen sometimes" Lockheart smiled nervously.
" You didn't fix his bones you took them out." Liliah told him as she bent down to Harry.
" Well the point is it isn't broken anymore." Lockheart said.
Lily and Liliah gave him the exact same look that made him back off. This time James's face paled looking at the similarities between the two girls.

" How do we fix this?" Harry looked at his mom.
" We will have to regrow them." Lily told him as she helped him up.
" Feel better Harry." Liliah lightly squeezed his shoulder of his good arm.
" Thanks Liliah." Harry smiled.
The three Marauders and Lily lead Harry to the hospital wing followed by Hermione and Ron.

" What a match." Cedric sighed.
" Yeah." Liliah nodded.
