Lily reluctantly went to defence against the dark arts. In her opinion, Lockhart was a fraud and an imbecile. She sat at the back of the class, saving the seats next to her for Ginny and Aphrodite. Lockhart staggered in. All the girls were sighing as if he was the best person in the world. Lily just sneered when he smiled at the girls. He looked taken back at her reaction. "Good," Lily thought, "The bloody bastard deserves a girl not fawning over him," Lockhart flourished his robes and started,"Gilderoy Lockhart, order of merlin, third class, honary member of the dark force defence league." He set the class a quiz. "That was the most boring class. I'm surprised that I didn't fall asleep." Lily yawned. A sudden voice piped up. "I agree with you," Lily turned. It was Jaime-Leigh. "Why the hell are you agreeing with me, slytherin," Lily scowled. Jaime-Leigh's eyes started watering. "Look, I didn't want to be a slytherin. I'm a half-blood, my best friend is a hufflepuff, my whole family are gryffindors and all the slytherins hate me." Jaime-Leigh cried out. "My family only didn't disinherit me because my uncle's wife stood up for me. She also was a slytherin and they allowed her into the family." "Just out of interest, who is your aunt?"Lily asked. Jaime-Leigh stared at Lily before replying," Violetta Black, sister of Narcissa, Andromeda and Bellatrix Black." "Wait a minute, Narcissa Black is my mother, that means we are kind of cousins," Aphrodite pondered out loud. Jaime-Leigh nodded before answering," Yes, also can you call me Amy for short, I mean Jaime-Leigh is way too long," Lily nodded, she loved making friends. ----------------------------------------♥--------------------------------------- Halloween was approaching fast. Lily didn't like Halloween. It was the date her parents died. She met up with Harry, Ron and Hermione and they went to the dungeons for Nearly-Headless Nick's Deathday party. "A promise is a promise," Hermione reminded the boys bossily, "You said you would go to the party," Lily nodded, "Hermione is right, you can't break a promise." So the boys reluctantly followed the girls. "Is that supposed to be music," Ron whispered. "It sounds more like fingernails scraping a board." Lily looked horrified. As they walked in, Nick welcomed them mournfully. "Nick died on the same day as mum and dad," she pondered out loud. "Go back, it's moaning myrtle," Hermione backed away. "Come off it Mione, Myrtle's not that bad." Lily was hungry, "Lets go," With her nose in the air, she walked off. After 5 minutes of walking and cursing she bumped into a girl. "Watch where you are going you dunderhead!" Lily snapped at the girl. She looked up. It was a hufflepuff with curly brown hair and twinkling merry brown eyes. "Just my bloody luck that I keep on bumping into hufflepuffs," Lily muttered. "Need help," the girl extended her hand. "I'm Leah, Eleanor Black and you are?" "Liliana Potter but if you call me Liliana I will curse you, I hate my first name, its Lily or Anna or Lyla ,nothing else," Lily glared. "Ok, so Anna it is" Eleanor laughed. In spite of her self, Lily laughed."Though I do prefer Lily, in memorial to my late mother," Lily's eyes darkened and Eleanor bowed her head in respect. A scream shattered the silence. They ran to the sound. In the middle of the wall were words written in blood. "The chamber of secrets has been opened again. Enemies of the heir beware," Eleanor read out. Next to it was Mrs Norris's immobile body and Harry, Ron and Hermione staring open mouthed at it. There was an evil laugh, Draco Malfoy was grinning at the sight of the cat, grey eyes alight in malice as he called out," You'll be next Mudbloods!"
Thanks to @Eleanor_Black for her OC
