Chapter 1

oOo

The Hogwarts Express was bustling with chatter, something Lily Luna Potter was quite use to. The rumors that were currently thick in the atmosphere spoke of the Scamander twins who were returning to Hogwarts for their seventh year. Lily thought of the idea as preposterous because she had personally grown up with the twins in her adolescent years and her family would practically die of joy before seeing her off at King's Cross Station.

"I wonder if he still eats his boogers," Tsubaki Yoshida, her best friend mused, seemingly skimming through the pages of the book she held.

"And to think you had a crush on him," Lily's cousin, Lucy Weasley said. This caused her two and only male friends, Jordan Nott and Carter Brennan to snigger.

Tsubaki, and Lucy were the only ones out of the group of friends to have spent scorching summers at the Burrow. Tsubaki's parents were consistently traveling from Japan to London on the London Ministry of Magic's orders as scribes, although they resided in Godric's Hollow with the Potters. Lucy on the other hand being a Weasley practically lived at the Burrow, it was more of an unspoken ritual than a planned routine.

"Looks like you're gonna have to start digging for gold, mate," Jordan joked elbowing Carter on his ribcage. Tsubaki and Carter both turned a deep shade of magenta while Lily and Lucy laughed. Tsubaki because she was a total prude when it came to boys despite reading all the Muggle romance novels in the world and Carter because he hadn't exactly wanted the whole world to know of his feelings for his friend despite him turning into a tomato around every time he was around Tsubaki.

"Speaking of childhood crushes, what about Lily and Lysander?" Lucy piped in.

"What about us?" Lily said, her eyes narrowing.

"As I recall it when he left, you couldn't stop crying," Lucy said, her eyes twinkling with amusement. Although they were cousins, Lucy had an extremely hard time of letting people live down their most embarrassing moments. It was probably why she was good at blackmailing people.

Lily wasn't going to lie, she had cried when Lysander and Lorcan departed to Sweden, despite her irascible nature. When she found out that they weren't starting the same school in September it completely shattered her. Part of it was due to her crush on Lysander and the other one was that ever since Aunt Luna had made the announcement about them leaving, he'd slowly started becoming distant from her.

He'd promised to write to her every single day like his life depended on it-a foolish promise she'd made him make when they were eleven. But she had been the one to keep up with the promise, and Lysander's replies had seemed enthusiastic, but the strained sarcastic kind. And soon, Lily had grown increasingly tired of the monotonous routine and completely stopped anticipating his replies. Shortly after, he disappeared from her life, and that was only seven months into their first year. Her sorrow eventually turned to disappointment but never to hatred. The only other news she heard about the Scamander twins was that their parents, Uncle Rolf and Aunt Luna had gotten a divorce by the end months of second year and that they'd cut communication from all of their friends, including the Weasley and Potters.

"He stole my chocolate frogs, how could I have not been mad at him?" Lily lamely replied.

Okay, so maybe he had threatened to steal her prized collection of chocolate shaped frogs but that hadn't meant that he necessarily had. They'd gone missing a day prior to when the family was to see them off at King's Cross Station.
