Aquarius Lily Malfoy-Potter

Chapter 43: Zoey's Back

Past- 2012

"Zoey," a small little blonde girl with bright emerald eyes whispered. Her hair was just as blonde as her dad's and her eyes were just as bright as her Papa's.

"What?" A girl who was the total opposite of the blonde whispered back. She had chocolate skin and pitch black hair with blue eyes.

"Are you scared?" The blonde breathed out heavily.

"Oh what?" The other girl asked back.

"Scared of going to see our first glimpses of the Wizarding World? Of what and how people will treat us?"

"Why are you scared of that? You have seen the Wizarding World no? We've been on the Platform nine and three-quarters to see Lilian, Diamond, Darla off to Hogwarts."

"But we haven't gone anywhere else, but the Platform," the girl's green eyes went wide. "We haven't even been to Hogwarts! And Papa and Dad go there if one of them get in trouble! I've never been though. I'm scared Zoey."

"It's ok to be scared Aquarius," Zoey smiled at her nerve raking friend. "But you must realize that you have been part of the Wizarding World your whole life. That magic is apart of you," she smiled at her friend and went over to hug her, which was gladly returned by the nervous blonde. "Everything will be ok."

"Everything will be ok," she whispered back softly.

"Are you ready for our first day of Hogwarts?" Zoey asked her friend with a bright smile and showing off her pearly whites. Aquarius looked nervous and didn't answer her eager friend. Zoey looked confused. "Hey what's wrong?"

The soon to be first year looked at her friend, who had a pouty face. "I don't know Zoey," she sighed. "I'm just afraid that no one is going to like me. I'm afraid that someone is just going to want to be friends with me because my Papa is the famous Harry Potter. Even though it has died down and no one could have a care? At least that's how I see it," Aquarius frowned.

"Since when have you ever cared about how someone thought of you?" Zoey put her hands on her hips. "I know you're lying to me about all this, so tell me the real reason why you're looking like you want to go crawl into a pit and die."

The girl with the round glasses huffed. "Fine. You caught me. I'm honestly afraid that we will be separated. And then the stuff I said would come true."

Zoey now understood what her friend since birth was trying to say. "We will never be separated. We will stick together till the end! Even if we get sorted into different houses, we will stick together till the very end!"

Aquarius looked over at her determined friend. Damn, was she glad to have a friend like Zoey Molly Weasley-Zabini.

"Aquarius Malfoy-Potter," came McGonagall's voice. The blonde perked up her head at the mention of her name, but then got a whole lot of nervous once she realized what she was being called for. The sorting of her house. She walked up to the stool where she would be sitting and would be told if she were to go into Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin.

She sat on the stool and the old, ragged hat was placed on her perfect blonde head.

"I see that we have another Malfoy-Potter," the Sorting Hat started talking in the girl's head. "Daughter of Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter, a Slytherin and a Gryffindor. I would put you in Gryffindor, but that doesn't seem to be the place your heart desires. A very loyal girl and very true to her heart. Something I've seen in many students who have been sorted here, but you seem to be different from the rest. I will have to go with...HUFFLEPUFF!" The hat had yelled out for the whole Great Hall to hear. Everyone was in a state of shock for a few seconds, but then brushed it right off and started clapping for the blonde girl who has just been sorted into the house of the badgers. She went over and sat down next to a girl, who looked much older than Aquarius, but not too much older. She seemed to either be a third or fourth year.

Orion then was called up and put into Slytherin, which he was happy about none the less. Siren was the last Malfoy-Potter to be called up and he was placed into Ravenclaw. Others were sorted in their houses, a good amount of Hufflepuffs were sorted this year, who knew. Soon enough Zoey was finally called up, the last of the first years, and she sat down at the very stool Aquarius had sat at moments ago. It's been a few minutes and Aquarius was sat there nervously. Would she be placed in Hufflepuff with her or be in an entirely different house?

It felt like hours until the hat finally yelled out, "HUFFLEPUFF!"

Aquarius' heart swelled with joy and clapped and cheered for her best friend, who basically ran over to the table and sat down next to Aquarius. They gave each other a hug and had the biggest of smiles on both of their faces.

"I'm so happy that we're together!" Aquarius said excitingly.

"Me too!" Zoey mimicking Aquarius' expression. "Honestly can't wait for our parents' reactions at the turn out."

"You have no idea. I bet their going to be shocked on so many levels," the blonde giggled.

"One hundred percent."

The girl with chocolate skin, blue eyes, and short black hair was told to stay put in her own timeline in the future. Yeah, she didn't listen to her parents.

"Zoey?" Aquarius whispered, wide eyed. The girl smiled brightly at her friend and nodded. "Zoey!" Aquarius basically yelled and ran over to her friend, Zoey meeting her in the middle and gave each other the biggest hug that they could both muster. "You're back," she whispered.

"Of course I'm back," Zoey whispered back to the blonde. "I wasn't going to let you deal with this on your own, even if you do have some of your family right behind you for support."

"Yeah, but you're the support that I need the most."

Once they broke the hug and looked at each other with smiles and started heading towards the library to meet up with everyone else to let them know that Zoey is back.
