Forever, my love

13. The reveal.

• Lilac's POV •

It's been weeks since i've spoken to George. I sensed that he was still upset over the thing with my dad. I had spoken to Fred though, after all he was my potions partner.

"Super chatty today are we?" Fred teased as i filled him in on everything that happened with dad.

"Yes." I said as i jumped around.

"That's great, now let's talk. Yule ball." Fred said as he gives me a look.

"Haven't changed my mind, Fred." I reply as i look away.

"Come on darling, you must have at least thought about it." Fred said as he stares at me until i answer.

"Okay yes, i have thought about it, but that hasn't changed my mind." I said as i begin making the potion.

"Okay fine, suit yourself darling." He said as he began writing.

Later that day i walked into the great hall and took my seat at the end of the Slytherin table.

"Well hello there." Goyle said as he smirks at me.

"Goyle please, you're gonna make me lose my appetite." I said as i pick up a piece of chicken.

"You really think this face would make you lose your appetite." He said as he takes a seat next to me.

"Yes." I reply as i make vomit noises.

"Attention everyone!" Professor Dumbledore shouts. "May i have your attention please, as some of you may know the sorting hat has proven to make some mistakes.." He pauses. "There has been yet another mistake, in relation to the sorting hat. Miss Black may you please step up to the front." He continues as everyone looks my way.

I stand up and make my way to the front of the hall. I could feel all eyes on me, i look over to my left and see George staring straight at me. I quickly look away.

"Miss Black, may you take a seat please?" Dumbledore said.

"Of course Professor, what's this about?" I asked, looking confused.

"I'm afraid my dear, the sorting hat has made a mistake and placed you into the wrong house." He replied.

I quickly took a seat on the chair. If this means i get out of Slytherin, i'll do anything.

"You're a ready mind, where those of wit and learning, will always find their kind," said the Sorting hat. "You're intelligence, and have great wisdom and creativity. You're always hungry for knowledge and can't resist a good story to lose yourself in. Let it be... Ravenclaw!" The sorting hat yells."

I hop off the chair and make my way over to the Ravenclaw table. I felt anxious as to how they would react with a former Slytherin in their house. I take a seat at the end of the table.

"Hello there." A girl waved and smiled at me from across the table.

"Oh hello." I said, smiling back.

"I'm Cho Chang, what's your name?" She said as she held her hand out.

"Lilac." I reply as i shake her hand.

We sat and spoke for the rest of lunch.

"Okay enough about that." She laughed. "The yule ball is coming up!"

"So i've heard." I said.

"So, who you going with then?" She asked.

"Me? i'm not going." I said.

"Um excuse me? Yes you are!" She shouts. "I'm not taking no for an answer."

"Oh boy." I said as i laugh.
