A/N: I couldn't resist! I plan on continuing this but I'm attempting to juggle 3 stories so updates may not be very often.

Abandoned by her older brothers James and Albus and her cousins Rose and Hugo Lily Potter settled into an empty seat with her favorite book. After a few minutes of reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: Part One of the Seven Part Series Depicting the Life of Our Hero for the hundredth time she grew bored and began to play around with her new wand.

"Expect Petroleum" she said and shook her wand.

Nothing happened.

"Expect Petroleum" she shook her wand harder.

Again nothing happened.

She heard laughter and turned to see an older boy with almost white blond hair plastered to his head standing by the door. Lily turned red with anger and a little bit of embarrassment before putting away her wand. The boy came in and sat across from her.

"Sorry." He got up. "Do you mind?" She shook her head and he sat back down. "What was it you were trying to do?"

"I was trying to make a Petrolis" she folded her arms and looked down.

"Do you by any chance mean a Patronus?" the boy asked.

Lily nodded. "My dad could make one by his 3rd year so could my oldest brother. My other brother is going into his 2nd year but he's already trying. I'm trying to beat them all and do it this year."

"You wouldn't happen to be a Potter would you?' the boy asked.

Lily nodded. "My name is Lily. Lily Potter. Do you know my brothers?"

"Sort of"

"What's your name?"

Before the boy could answer Rose walked over to where they sat. She seemed very angry and didn't notice the boy sitting across from her cousin.

"I can't believe those two. They promised me they'd look after you and what do they do they abandon you. Oh when I tell Aunt Ginny what they did to you they're going to wish they were dead." She looked over at the boy. "On second thought knowing that they're little sister was targeted by Scorpius Malfoy while they were off chatting up some girls is punishment enough."

"I'll see you around, Lily. Rose, always a pleasure." Scorpius stood up.

"No don't leave" Lily pleaded. "Rose I don't know what he ever did to you but he's been nothing but nice to me."

"You won't listen to me. Fine. Let's see if you listen to James." Rose walked away. Scorpius walked back in and sat down.

"Lily I don't ant any trouble I'm just going to—" He was cut off by James pulling him up by his shirt collar.

"Get away from my sister" he shoved him out the doorway.

"That was a horrible thing to do" Lily yelled and stood up. "He could've hurt himself."

"Good" James sniggered. "It's the least he deserved."

"If dad, mum, and Aunt Hermione knew what you were doing to that poor boy they'd be disgusted!" Lily walked out to find Scorpius. She found him a few compartments down sitting alone. She walked in and sat next to him. "I'm sorry about my family. They're a little overprotective. I'm the youngest. Even Hugo is two months older than I am."

"Your brother and cousin don't scare me" he said not very convincingly.

"Right well don't worry about them. I'll make sure they don't give you a hard time." Lily smiled at him. He looked at her for the first time since she sat down and she noticed that his left eye was all red. "Did—"

"Rose was waiting outside." He explained vaguely.

"Bet you're sorry you ever sat by me" she ran her thumb along what would soon be a bruise.

"No" he said sincerely. "I'm glad I met you."

"What house are you in" she asked taking her hand away from his face.

"Gryffindor, I think that's why they hate me so much. They think I belong in Slytherin. Maybe I do." He shrugged.

"Your father, he was in Slytherin."

"Yes."

"Was he mad when you told him you were sorted into Gryffindor?"

"He was a little mad that he found out 6 months later from a colleague." Scorpius laughed.

"I think you belong in Gryffindor" Lily smiled at him again.

"I don't know. I'm not very brave. You saw me back there."

"My parents' friend Neville Longbottom wasn't very brave at your age either but he turned out to be one of the bravest people I know."

"Professor Longbottom?"

"Yes. Do you take his class?"

"Yes. He's a very good teacher."

"Yes he is. I'm going to change into robes but I'll be back. I'm not that easy to get rid of." Lily skipped off.
