Our destiny

Lilac beamed as Marena hugged her as she entered the compartment.

"I missed you so much!" Lilac smiled

"I missed you too! Is this Toffee?" She asked and pointed to the cat. Lilac nodded

"She is adorable"

"Isn't she just?"

The two girls smiled as Evie walked in.

"Hi girlies!" She beamed

"Hi" Lilac beamed and hugged her

"I found some strays." She smiled and moved aside where Joseph and Ross stood there

"Boys!" Marena laughed and hugged them

"Missed you too Mena, but can we sit down?" Ross asked

"I suppose so."

"So, meet Toffee."

"Cute" Joseph said as he looked at the bunny. He was a dog person.

The group sat and waited for the train to leave, each telling each other about their break.

"I'm going to see if I can find Severus." Lilac smiled halfway through the journey. Her friends smiled and told her to meet them at the station.

Lilac walked down the hallways and smiled as she saw Severus sat with some of his Slytherin friends.

"Lilac, hey. Come sit with us." Severus smiled. Lilac sat down.

"What is a Potter doing here?" A boy sneered, but one of the older boys, Lucius glared at him.

"Watch yourself, boy. Miss Potter is a Hufflepuff and is under protection of him." Lucius sneered. The boy nodded in understanding.

"Who's protection?" She asked.

"Doesn't matter, dear" Malfoy smiled.

A few hours later as the carriages were taking the children back to the school, Lilac couldn't help but wonder who Malfoy was talking about. Who was protecting her?

"Lilac, you zoned out. You okay?" Evie asked

"Yeah. I'm good." She smiled as they walked into the castle and sat down for the feast.

Hours later she sat in the common room with a book while toffee purred happily as she scratched her head.

She was sitting in her element when someone flopped beside her. She looked over and saw a sixth year.

"Sorry about that. I'm Ted Tonks. Wotcher!"

"Lilac Potter. I'm not going attempt to say the word that you did." She smiled shyly

"Wotcher. It is an informal muggle greeting, means hello, how are you?"

"Well in that case, I'm great, and you?"

"Also great. So, I hear that Kettleburn is fond of you and your group. He will be expecting great things from you all."

"You speak from experience?"

"Yeah, he enjoys my dazzling personality" Ted laughed.

"A bit like McGonagall enjoys my brothers dazzling personality?" She asked

"Yeah a bit." He smiled

"So, what ya reading?"

"Oh, the tales of beadle and the bard. "

"Never heard of it." He shrugged, Lilac gasped

"Here, take this one, I have thirty copies including the family one that has been passed down since it was written."
