Chapter Text
POV. Evelyn
For fucks sake, you have to be kidding me! Them my dads working at Hogworts, unfucking believable.
And they tell me the day of how thoughtful of them, not. In their words it's 'for my safety after what happened last year' thanks a lot voldy stupid baster now I'll have to have my god father's breathing down my neck, fantastic!
Sirius was going to be teaching
history of magic, and Remus was going to be Hogworts first co defense against the dark arts teacher, fun right?
Draco and Blaze have been sending me owls all brake, I haven't answered any. I've just wanted to be alone after everything that happened last year.
"Lily, pup you ready to go?" I was in fact not ready, I wasn't even out of bed yet. "Pup, we have to leave in 10 minutes. You need to get out of bed and ready, chop chop" I didn't move, I don't want to go, I don't even want to be near Hogworts right now, but I do what I'm told and get up and ready, unfortunately. And Sirius leaves me to get ready.
Standing in front of my wardrobe I pick up Draco's sweatshirt I stole from him, it's Kashmir because of course it's Kashmir the little shit wouldn't be caught dead in a polyester sweatshirt, and a pair of leggings with my converse.
Shoving my wand in the waistband of my leggings I make my way to the kitchen, "god morning lils" Remus said as I walked into the kitchen and sat at the counter top. "Morning"
"Someone seems grumpy" Sirius replied handing me a plate of food, it smelled delicious but I wasn't going to eat it, I'm not hungry ever really. "Thanks but I'm not hungry right now" I push the plate back to him "try to eat a bit at least, we have got to get you on the train"
I didn't make a move to grab the plate back but Sirius pushed it towards me, I stared at the plate my stomach turning I really wasn't hungry.
"So.. how are you feeling?" And there it is, I was waiting for this question, he asks me and then try's to use his shrink powers on me I swear! "M'fine." They both been like this since Cedric died in the tournament, I don't blame them but they should be asking Cedric's parents these questions not me, I'm fine.
Just tired.
"You always say 'I'm fine'"
"Because it's the truth?"
"Lily-"
"Didn't you say we had to go? Well let's leave yeah." I cut him off not wanting t ok continue this conversation. "Fine. But we're talking about it later." No we're nooot but shhh don't tell him that
——————
Getting on the train I look for an empty compartment, finding one I sit in the seat closest to the window.
Picking up my earbuds and putting them in to hopefully drown out the noise of excitement of the new and the old students,looking out the window I watch emotional parents wave goodbye to their children, while others walk away without even looking back.
After about five minutes the train starts moving and the compartment door opens, "there you are! We've been looking everywhere for you."
An excited Pansy exclaimed, as she walked into the compartment and sat at the farthest corner in the row in front of me, Blaze came in and sat next to her while Draco sat next to me. Then another boy walked in, he had short dark curly hair and appeared to have some but still noticeable scars on his face.
He sat right in front of me, staring at me like he couldn't take his eyes off me even if he wanted to, "Lily this is Matteo, riddle...." Draco in introduced us- "Wait. Did you just say riddle? As in the son of the man who killed my parents?!?" I said very calmly..... "I told you she'd freak" Pansy so kindly interrupted.
"Me freaking out? No, why would I it's not like the guy who killed my parents son is sitting in front of me." Everyone seemed to have been spelled with a mouth sticking charm as no one was speaking, only Draco had grabbed my hand and was rubbing his thumb on it with small circles.
Mine and Draco's relationship was- odd, for one we never really talk to each other when something was bothering us we'd just show up at each other's dorms and get shitfaced, we would hold hands but it was more for the feeling of just having someone not the physical touch, we never ask questions about anything even when our gut tells us to.
We kind of just exist together and that's it nothing more nothing less.
"Sooooo" Pansy starts "me and Blaze are kind of dating!" She practically squeals don't get me wrong. I love her as a sister, but sometimes she's so goddamn fucking annoying.
"Congrats, Pans" was all I could muster up with a semi fake smile
Draco congrats Blaze with "about bloody time mate" they both liked each other since around second year, but apparently we're both too blind to see it. Moving on from the topic, the compartment seems to grow eerily quiet. And other than a few short conversations, nobody really talks for the rest of the train ride.
Once we arrive at Hogsmead Station me and Draco wait for everyone to leave the compartment before we grab our stuff and start to follow them to the carriages only this time the carriages were different. There was a black, almost horse, looking creature pulling them.
"What are they?"
"What are what?" Draco responds.
"The things pulling the carriage Can't you see them?"
"Lily nothing is pulling carriage pull them self just like they always have." Pansy says rather rudely.
"I can see them two." Riddle- bleh, specks up. " Only those who have experienced someone dying infront of them we'll see. They're called Thestrals"
"Well I may actually be going insane if psycho over there can see them too!"
"Just get in the damned carriage Potter" flipping him the bird. I did get in trying to sit as far away from him as I could. Draco sat next to me, and carriage made its way towards the front gates of the castle.
Walking into Hogwarts felt weird normally I would be happy to be back, friends, parties, not having to deal with strict godparents, but now I didn't have any of that my freedom was gone and the sense of joy I once felt was no longer there, and in its place, was a never ending sense of doom.
"fun getting sorted with the first years!" Pansy had shouted at Riddle.
"I don't understand why he even has to be sorted. It's obvious what house he's gonna be placed in."
" I don't know lils everyone thought you would be placed in Gryffindor like your parents and godparents so at this point anything can happen" Draco had replied as we were talking our seats and the sorting ceremony began.
All the first years were sorted, Matteo was finally called up that was placed on his head and it called-
"Slytherin!"
And just like the hat the feast began.
