The Potter's Daughter

A night full of surprises...

"So...This is it" I opened my arms as I spoke, showing Meg my room. She stepped forward from under the door's portal, looking around. Her face mixed shock and amazement altogether, I noticed, before walking towards my bed and sitting down.

"Ok, tell me one more time, how did you end up with these lunatics as roommates?" She asked settling beside me. I guess she did choose the right moment to talk about them as we enjoyed the unusual emptiness of the room. "They were out of rooms and the headmistress asked who wouldn't want to be with the boys, I raised my hand and got picked. A little example of how lucky I am" I explained for the third time. She seemed to have understood and shrugged, then her eyes lit up and I was about to learn what that meant.

When Meg Wood had an idea, her eyes lit up, she became hyper as if she couldn't control herself. "It's decided. I'm going to stay in this room with you. My roommates suck as well so..." the girl spoke, and as I listened a small smirk started forming on the corner of my mouth, "But...You need a bed and...We need to figure out a way to bring your trunk over here" I for once said. " We can just duplicate another bed but for tonight I'll sleep with you, now, do you happen to be good at the Wingardium Leviosa charm?"She asked, "Are you kidding? I know I haven't had classes yet but I'm still Hermione's niece. Let's go get that trunk of yours!"

----------------------

We had finished packing our bags for school and laid in bed when we heard loud and mixed steps coming up the stairs. Meg and I were sat on our beds, legs crossed in front of each other. She was trying to calm my hair as the boys came in. We were clever enough to change into pajamas way before the risk of them showing up. "What is going on honey? Is it pajama party day? Crap! I forgot my bunnies slipper!" Alexander Krum said, but before I could answer a voice interrupted, making me search for it, then, I found it. A scrawny, tall black haired boy turned around to form his own trunk and spat, "Give it a rest Alex, they're doing nothing to you." I and Meg exchanged surprised glances but continued talking at a lower voice like we were before. "Are you done, Meg?" I asked as I couldn't feel the brush anymore, "...yeah," she answered with a sigh. I could feel her hands stroking my hair calmly, so I slightly turned to look at her face and asked, "Whats wrong?". She looked up and cleared her throat before answering, "It's stupid but... I feel a bit... boring near you", meg rolled her eyes as if showing her annoyance towards her own feelings.

I on the other side did not understand what she meant and by the look on my face, she got ready to explain herself. "You're a green-eyed redhead with beautiful freckles all over your face," the girl spoke, "And look at me! I'm a brown eyed brunette...I'm boring!" she finished and going against all the education my mother tried to give me I couldn't stop myself from laughing at her face. "What?" she asked jokingly pushing me forward, "I thought I had found myself a smart friend, apparenlty, I was wrong!" I said between giggles, "You can't seriously think of yourself as boring," I continued, "You're the prettiest first year, you know that, right? Plus, just because I have nice features it doesn't mean I'm pretty. Take Krum as an example, he has blue eyes and still looks like a douche".

"Yeah... maybe you're right. But who cares anyway? We're going to show off out bad ass abilities with quidditch! Who needs beauty?" she said laughing, "Yeah," I started, "we'll charm every single boy that crosses our way" I finished sarcastically. "WHAT?" I heard a male voice roaring through the room and directing itself to us. I turned around to see who it was, expecting it to be one of Alexander's annoying friends but was extremely startled to see Scorpius, Scorpius Malfoy standing at my room's doorway with anger stuck in his face.

"What did you just say?" He asked once again approaching our spot in the comfy bed. The other boys, some already laid down, turned heads and bodies toward us. "I-I... I was joking" I said explaining myself, apparently unconvincingly since he simply raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms over his chest. He wore a dark green sweatshirt and black sweatpants, both colors contrasting his white-blond hair flying around. "What are you doing here anyway?" I asked, urging to change the subject, "Your brother, Albus told me to come check up on you, he's worried, you know?" he said with that classical Malfoy way of speaking. Since when had he become so rude? By the hospital wing, he was kind and caring...

Meg poked me with a question mark printed on her face, I cleared my throat and spoke; "Meg, this is Scorpius. He is... a friend of mine," I scratched my head at the awkward situation and kept going, "And Scorpius, this is Meg, my friend". Meg simply sent him a sympathetic smile and he blurted out a "hey" before asking me to talk to him by the common room. I suspiciously agreed, knowing that my curiosity wouldn't have let me do otherwise. "I'll be back in a second, ok?" I told Meg, "you go on and settle yourself to bed" I finished before grabbing a hair tie and making a messy ponytail.

I walked behind him as he led our way down the stairs to the common room. Surprisingly, there were a quite big amount of people, despite the fact it was late and a school night. We walked through the students side by side, receiving some stares from them. "So, what did you want to tell me?" I question, surprised that we're heading to the door leading us to the corridor. "We can't talk inside, people, mainly these people can hear it... and they shall not".

As we kept going, I noticed how short I looked beside him. He was only a year and couple months older than me but he could easily pass for a 15-year-old. I could feel the tension by the way he walked, eyes fixed and lost into the distance, feet way too confident leading our way through the corridors until we arrived near a big statue. Apparently, we were either going to clean the floor or hide behind it, ducked down.
    "Albus writes to me. All the time," he finally spoke, "Also, James and I have talked and we all arrived at a common conclusion;" I stared at those gray eyes attentively, "As you skipped one year, you can go to Hogsmead and be invited to the Yule ball. We decided that we are forbidding you to attend any of those." Scorpius spoke calmly.

Me, on the other hand was about to explode his head. "Why? And who are--" started but was soon interrupted, "Who are we to decide? Well, if you haven't noticed yet, they are your brothers and I am doing Albus part since he is at the other side of the world!" he spoke harshly, "Ugh!" I groaned, why me? Why couldn't I be a random other witch? "Can you at least tell me why? If it's because of the boys thing I said before...IT WAS A JOKE!!", my voice sounded desperate, which I was, indeed...
    "Lily, you simply can't go outside, with no protection... You know what you and your brother represent, don't you?" He sighed. Of course I knew. I was the daughter of the man who destroyed the Dark Lord... And of course all of his followers seem to hate me. I looked down and felt his glance upon me, searching for my eyes. But I wasn't about to look at him back, say that, 'it was ok, I'll get over it' like my perfect cousin Rose would... I stood up quickly and without looking back, and ignoring all of his attempts to make me return to our hiding place, I walked fiercely to my bedroom.

-------- --------- ---------- --------- ----------
"Um... hey Lily" said someone, grabbing my arm slightly as I entered my room. I irritatedly turned to find Krum and his bodyguards- I mean, friends behind him. By then, I just wanted to go to bed, Meg, that lucky girl, was already asleep and enjoying her life as someone who's father didn't happen to have saved the world. "What?" I asked annoyed, "look," started Alexander, slowly enough for me to notice the black haired guy from before. "I'm Alexander Krum, he" he said pointing at the boy, "is Tomas Dolohov and the douche behind is Jack Zabini". He finished as if he had done a clear statement. I looked at him and raised an eyebrow, signaling for him to continue. "We know what's like to have your life.... kinda interfered by our relatives. And I know that we've started with the wrong foot but..." Krum was interrupted by the newly introduced Tomas, "Oh, cut the crap Alex!" He spat, "what he's trying to say is," Dolohov continued, then stuck his arm towards me, "friends?". I looked at them all.
Krum seemed to be smart but hid it, scared of what people might think of him... Zabini was pretty, with light brown hair and dazzling eyes. He wore a somewhat sympathetic smile. Last but not least, Dolohov, who's smirk seemed to be stuck into his face 24/7, who's attitude and features reminded me of the one and only, Sirius Black.
"Friends" I said, grabbing his hand and shaking it slightly.
