"I'd Die For You" ~ A Jily Story

Chapter 6: Arriving at Hogwarts

I am so sorry for taking so long to update but I've been busy with my other story too!

Lily's POV:

"WHAT!" Alice and Mary cry.

I laugh at their reactions but definitely agree. Dorcas and I sit down and get some food from Alice. The Trolley Lady has already passed and Dorcas and I are very hungry.

The train finally arrives at Hogsmeade. Potter and I had decided to meet up to patrol the train, making sure everyone had left the train.

I straighten my tie and pin my Head Girl badge on my jumper. I also make one last attempt to tame my bushy hair a bit but it doesn't work.

I say goodbye to my friends and I go to the Heads compartment where I would be meeting Potter.

"Hi Evans!" Potter greets.

"Hi Potter," I greet back, surprised that he's on time.

"Shall we go?" he asks.

"Yeah fine, shall we split up or go together?" I reply.

"I don't mind, we could go together, it might be easier than having to search for each other after finishing," Potter suggests.

"Okay, fine," I say, not looking him in the eyes.

We set of to the beginning of the train. We both take one side of the path. We open compartment doors to see if no one has been left behind.

After ten minutes or so I find a little girl, with purple hair, crying in a compartment. Potter sees her too but decided to give me some space and carries on.

"Hey, what's the matter?" I ask softly, kneeling down next to the little girl.

"I- I- I'm sc-cared," she sniffs.

I sit down next to her and put my arm around her. I find a bottle of water in my bag and give it to her. When she calms down I decide to question her again.

"Could you first tell me your name?" I ask.

"I'm Nymphadora Tonks, but I prefer being called Tonks," the girl says.

" I'm Lily, by the way, I'm Head Girl, so if you need anything or you want some help at Hogwarts, you can always ask me," I tell her.

"That's great! Thank you!" Tonks says.

"But what are you scared of?" I ask, coming back to the answer she gave me a few minutes ago.

"Well, I'm just scared of the people at Hogwarts and the teachers. I'm really clumsy and I'm scared I'll mess up everything in class and then get expelled for not getting anything right. I'm scared I'll be bullied because of what I am and what I look like. I'm scared I won't make any friends," Tonks says, looking as if she's about to burst into tears again.

"Don't worry Tonks. I can tell you one thing! You saw that boy there, walking past?" Tonks nodded" well, he failed in nearly every class for the first four years and he's still here isn't he? If you need help with any of your classes, you can come and ask me for help. You understand that?" I comfort her.

"But I'm still scared people will bully me because I'm a Metamorphmagus, it means I can change my appearance," Tonks explains.

"They won't bully you, you should be proud of having such an extraordinary gift. And if they do bully you, don't take any notice of what they say! Ignore them. Trust me, you will find friends soon enough! I came here with two friends and I had about six friends after a week!" I continue.
