Lily Black and the Twin Souls (Book Two)

Chapter Seven: Krummy

Lily sighed to herself, this wasn't Hogwarts. She turned around and found herself face to face with a boy who looked two or three years older than her. 

"Er-hi. I didn't mean to come here, I'm learning how to apparate. I meant to go back to Hogwarts, but I guess I'm tired or something, seeing as I apparated to Romania before here. Er-do you speak English?" The boy must have understood at least the question about English because he shook his head looking confused before saying,

"I'm sorry, I don't speak much English. What did you say?" in Bulgarian. Well, that answered the question of what language they spoke here. Lily was certainly glad she knew so many languages now because she responded in Bulgarian too,

"Oh sorry, I didn't know you didn't speak much English. I'm learning how to apparate with my friend, and I accidentally ended up here. I'm from Hogwarts, see? First I accidentally went to Romania and now I'm really tired. Oh, by the way, my name is Lily. Lily Black." The boy gave her a smile,

"Sorry about that Lily, I'm Victor. Victor Krum. You can stay here for tonight if you would like so that you can regain enough energy to get all the way back to England." Lily smiled at him gratefully,

"Thanks, Krummy, If your sure I won't be a bother, then I would love to stay here for the night. Is it alright if I call you that? Krummy? I like making up nicknames." Victor chuckled, and said,

"You won't be a bother. You may call me Krummy, but only if I get to call you Lillian." Lily grinned and held out her hand,

"Thanks, Krummy, and you've got yourself a deal!" Victor smiled at her,

"No problem at all Lillian, make yourself at home." Lily smiled and flicked her wand, making a twin sized mattress appear on the floor next to them.

"If its alright, I'm just going to go to bed, I'm quite tired, could we talk more tomorrow though?" Victor nodded and Lily lay down on the mattress, immediately falling asleep.

The next morning, Lily was incredibly confused to wake up and find herself not a Hogwarts. Then she looked around and remembered everything that happened yesterday. She yawned and waved her hand, making her clothes all change. Now she was wearing a different pair of black jeans and her favorite grey long-sleeved shirt. She stood up just as Krummy was coming through the door with food in his hands. Lily gratefully accepted the food and they talked about all sorts of things, mainly quidditch. Krummy played as a seeker like Harry did, (But was apparently better,). 

After a while Lily decided that she had better try to get back to Hogwarts again, so she sadly stood up and hugged him goodbye. They promised to write each other all the time though. Lily really liked both of the people she had met in the past two days, they already seemed like brothers to her, which she was grateful for. She needed some nice family.

With one last smile, Lily turned on her heel and disapparated. She appeared in the forbidden forest. At least this time she was actually close to school. She put her fingers in her mouth and whistled loudly. Buckbeak seemed to appear out of nowhere. Lily bowed gracefully and when her bow was returned, climbed onto his back.

They flew for about half and hour, and when they got back it was lunch time. Lily slid off him back and gave him another bow, before turning and marching into the school. She opened the door to the great hall and immediately found Teddy. He was sitting at the Gryffindor table and looking miserable.

"SHADOW!" she screamed, making most people  cover their ears, but made Teddy leap up and scream back,

"FLAMIE!" then they ran towards each other in slow-motion, before crashing into one another and and falling to the ground, rubbing their heads. The entire great hall burst out laughing, but for once Lily ignored them as she hugged Teddy. Finally they both sat down at the table and Teddy asked,

"So Flamie, where did you end up?" Lily beamed, remembering how fun it was,

"Well first I ended up in Romania in the middle of a bunch of dragons. Apparently people aren't the only ones who love me! They basically adopted me, it was so cute! I would love a dragon. Oh, and then I met Ron's brother Charlie, he's really nice, and he calls me Dragon-Tamer, because that's what I do. He made me dinner, I think he's much better than Ronald. Anyway, then I ended up in Durmstrang! It was amazing, I met this guy there who was really nice, he even let me stay in his room overnight so I could regain my strength, I think I impressed him when I conjured a mattress out of nowhere. He was quite nice, and he plays quidditch, I quite liked him." Teddy gaped at her, then crossed his arms and pouted,

"I wish I could have come!" Lily smirked,

"Maybe next time Shadow, maybe next time." 

Teddy pouted and then they burst out laughing at the same time. Lily laid her head on his shoulder and whispered,

"I missed you Teddy-Bear, I missed you a lot." Teddy smiled and whispered back,

"I missed you too Lily-Flower, I missed you too."

Soon Lily was fast asleep on his shoulder, and her even breaths lulled Teddy to sleep too, so he put his head on top of hers and fell dead asleep. 

Hermione found this adorable, and rummaged in Lily's bag for her camera, before taking a few pictures of them sleeping. Hermione smiled, and put both the camera, and the pictures back in her bag, smiling softly. She loved their friendship, it was just too adorable. 

She was wondering where Lily had been that they made it seem like they hadn't seen each other in years, come to think of it, Hermione hadn't seen the girl, since quidditch practice yesterday. She frowned, now slighly suspicious, and wondered what they were hiding.
