Lily Potter (Harry Potter's Twin)

Chapter 12

I paced in the common room, my mind figuring out millions of possibilities of how Malfoy ended up on the back of a Centaur.  I didn't even know why he went in the forest in the first place. I felt useless. 

"It just doesn't make since to me, " said Ron. "Yeah, they guy is stupid, but remember when we got detention with him? He nearly wet himself at the thought of going in the Dark Forest."

"He could have gone in the forest against his will. Someone might have forced him to go," Harry suggested. "Lily, did you see anyone else?"

"No," I sighed. "I don't know why he would go in there."

"Maybe he has a fetish for dark, creepy things?" suggested Ron. We ignored him. "i still don't get why you even spared the time to hang out with that weirdo--"

"Talking about me?" asked Fred in passing, smirking at his younger brother.

"We take pride in being weird," George said. 

"We just saw Draco Malfoy being carried into the castle, from the Forbiden Forest, on the back of a centaur," Harry told them.

"Well, we just saw Filch kissing Mrs. Norris," George countered. 

"Bro, I think they have us beat," whispered  Fred.

"Dang it," said George, snapping his fingers.

"See you later, ladies," said Fred. "We will look forward to hearing your theories at breakfast." The twins left to the Boy's Dormitories. 

"Are we that predictable?" Harry thought aloud. 

"Yeah," I answered without hesitation.

...

On Sunday morning, it finally hit me that Draco honestly thought it would be better if we weren't friends. Our families were just too different. The fact that he didn't even want to try made me angry, he gave up before the race even started. 

At breakfast, I didn't even bother checking the Slytherin table to see if Draco was alright, that was an action I reserved for friends. I could care less, I told myself .

I sat down with Harry and Ron, Hermione wanted to spend her morning in the Library.

They were already in conversation, so i began chatting with Fred and George.

"I'm so tired," George whined into his bagel.

"Want some cheese with that wine?" I asked.

 It took him a moment before he smiled and pointed at me, "Funny."

"Why do you think that cheese and wine taste so good together?" asked Fred. "it's never wine and ham, or cheese and orange juice."

"Maybe because they are both expired products," I said thoughtlessly, stirring my tea. 

When they didn't reply, I looked up and saw them staring at me.

"What?"

"You are smart," Fred said. "We should hire her."

"I don't know, I don't think she is ginger enough," George said, looking at me.

I laughed and took a sip of my tea.

"I guess Malfoy didn't get hurt bad enough that he needed to be in the hospital wing," mused Ron, drawing in my attention. My eyes snapped to the Slytherin table to see Malfoy laughing around with his 'friends.' I scoffed and turned back to Fed and George, but my heart wasn't in the conversation.

"Sorry, guys, but I should get going, I have to practice some Transfiguration before tomorrow," I said, smiling at the twins and getting up to leave.

"Potter!" a voice called from behind me when I was in the Entrance Hall. I turned and saw an unwanted blonde. I ignored his calls. "Lily, I'm sorry, okay?"

I didn't reply, but walked away faster.

"Lily, please listen to me," Draco begged. "I still want to be friends."

"No, thank you though," I said politely, turning a corner and stopping dead in my tracks.

"Potter wait! " Draco called. I turned the corner. He ran ahead of me, then stopped me in my tracks, slightly blinded by a bright, bright color. Professor Umbridge stood before me, smiling up at me. Finally, someone shorter than me, I thought.
