Last Time:
Petunia sighed, “At least we got a pleasant goodbye from someone.” She muttered before joining her parents for the end of a pleasant breakfast …
XXXXXXXXXX
“Why do we have to walk?” Lily muttered, not happy that she couldn’t get away from the Auror. The distinct lack of magical travel so far also annoyed her.
“I thought we could talk.” Gill said with a grin as they continued down the sidewalk. It just so happens he picked the exact direction that Lily went when she left the house the first time he dropped by.
Lily scoffed, “I don’t have a brewing set up or a greenhouse so you can give up on that.”
The Auror hummed, “Huh … I never said anything about a greenhouse.” He commented and ignored the glare the witch sent him. “No. I wanted to talk about what Gringotts discussed with me and will be bringing up with your parents while you’re at school.”
‘“What? They aren’t happy with taking all my stuff?” Lily muttered harshly as her eyes lingered in the direction of a park. It seems she wanted to look at anything except the Auror.
The Auror raised an eyebrow, “You mean the stuff you stole from your parents? Does it count as yours if you did nothing to earn the money that bought everything?”
Lily huffed, “I was going to pay it back.” She snapped defensively and tried to pull away from the Auror, but it didn’t work.
“Oh? How?” Gill asked casually. “If you intended to get a job, why not just start with that? Unless you actually had all your eggs in the ‘rich husband’ basket.”
“At least, I have prospects. You’re stuck in a dead end job!” Lily said hatefully before letting her eyes linger in a certain direction.
Gill burst out laughing, “Perhaps, but I’m not 5,000 muggle notes in debt.”
The witch gaped in shock, “The goblins got all the stuff back!”
“Not everything.” Gill said clearly implying the brewing lab and ingredients they couldn’t find.
“I don’t have a lab!” A very frustrated Lily screamed.
The Auror just shrugged, “Everything they got from you was no longer brand new. Everything is now second hand and used, which decreases the value. Even the goblins couldn’t get all of the money back.” Gill explained as they walked. “Considering how surprised you were, it seems even you lost track of how much you stole. I guess putting runes on your parents and sister’s wallets so the cash would come to a wallet you had would be hard to keep track of. Throw in the trips to Hogsmeade where you used the stores to convert the muggle money to wizarding money. Gets confusing.”
Lily’s face paled and she tried to search her pockets with only one arm, “Let go!” She demanded when she found that she couldn’t get her wallet.
“No.” The blue haired Auror said bluntly. “Yes, the runes stitched in all the wallets were removed so don’t bother. Back to the Gringotts subject. You’ll be working off your debt with weekend and summer jobs through Gringotts.” He said cheerfully and a few moments of silence passed, but sadly it ended too soon.
“They should have just let me go to the magical world whenever I wanted. I'm the one with magic so I belong there.” Lily muttered under her breath.
Where some people might have missed the comment with the background noise of families in the park and cars, Gill didn’t, “You know, I’ve heard plenty of muggle-born kids wish something of their parents. However, it’s usually wishing to not be beaten and tortured for having magic.” He said, but Lily just scoffed and looked away.
Despite being a little annoyed with the young witch, Gill kept smiling calmly as they walked along. As the silence continued the Auror pondered if Lily’s parents were lucky that they played favorites. Not that playing favorites with your children is a good thing, but it can happen.
Playing favorites can be shown in small degrees like an extra present or in far more heartbreaking ways. Now Gringotts already ruled out any potions or spells so Lily didn’t force anything. That could only mean that Petunia was correct about them giving Lily more. It wasn’t a vast difference in treatment since Rose and Eric seemed to love both of their daughters. However, Lily definitely felt like she could get away with a lot.
The question that Gill was mulling over was if Lily was entitled because of her parents or because she had magic. If she was entitled because of the way her parents treated her then that explains why no potions were used. If she was entitled because of magic then she might’ve forced her parents under her control when they didn’t give her what she wanted.
In that case Eric and Rose were lucky in a strange way. Not lucky for playing favorites or having an entitled daughter. Considering Lily clearly knows how to brew and would use them, they were lucky that they treated Lily just right so that she didn’t hurt them or make them hurt Petunia. Lily was entitled, but hopefully these recent punishments will give her a reality check.
Gill took a deep breath of the fresh air and smiled, “Time to leave!”
“What are you-“ Lily was cut off when she felt the very familiar feeling of a portkey. Before she could say any more she saw Hogwarts right in front of her. It was far enough away that they weren’t inside the castle’s limits, which is why the portkey worked, but she could see the castle’s towers over the treetops. “Why did you make me walk around all that time if you had a portkey?” She growled, which amused Gill because she sounded like a werewolf.
The Auror shrugged as he guided her down the path leading to “Didn’t you want to spend time with me?”
Lily turned to him with a glare, “No! Why the fuck would anyone want to be near you?!” Lily snapped, but immediately regretted it when she heard someone clear their throat. When she looked back at the path she saw that there was a bench off to the side down the ways and some familiar people were sitting on it. “Headmaster? Professor McGonagall?” She squeaked as Dumbledore and Minerva stood up and walked over. Dumbledore had an extra swing to his hips swishing his vibrant robes.
After only a couple steps Minerva stopped him, “Do watch your hips, Albus. You don’t want a repeat of earlier.”
“Ah, yes! Thank you, Minerva!” Dumbledore said and immediately corrected his walking style for the last few steps up to Lily. “Thank you for escorting Ms. Evans, Gill. We’ll take her from this point forward.” He said as he held out his hand, which had a glove just like the ones the Auror was wearing.
Gill grinned, “Thank Merlin. She was about to yank my shoulder out of its socket with her escape attempts.” He chuckled as an invisible force pulled Lily’s wrist out of Gill’s hand and to Dumbledore’s hand.
“I did not!” Lily gasped in disbelief that the Auror would continue to try and get her in trouble.
Dumbledore sighed and looked the young witch in the eyes, “My dear, this might be hard for you to understand since you don’t know Gill like I do, but that’s what some people call a joke. I know it can be hard to tell with him at times, but that one should’ve been obvious.” The headmaster said with a shocking amount of bluntness.
The Auror clutched his chest dramatically in mock offense, “I'm going to go where I’m appreciated! Like to the station to bid everyone farewell.” He said cheerfully before trotting back down the path to apparate away so he could meet Lyall and Remus at the train.
Minerva scoffed in amusement, “Let’s get you in the castle, Ms. Evans.”
“Your ankle monitor is tied to the castle now so you can’t leave the grounds without an escort.” Dumbledore explained as they stepped into the doors of the castle.
Lily pouted, “So who will be taking me to Hogsmeade?” She asked sweetly, trying to get back on her professors’ good sides, but she was surprised to see a look of disappointment on the headmaster’s face and a look of stern disapproval on Minerva’s face
“No one, Ms. Evans.” Minerva said sharply as they walked down the halls. “Gringotts already explained how you took advantage of the shopkeepers’ willingness to exchange muggle and magic money so you will not be allowed back.”
The young witch looked so hurt especially with her trembling lip, “For how long? Can I have someone get me sweets until I can do it myself?”
Minerva sighed as they started to descend a flight of stairs, “I truly don’t think you’re grasping the severity of what you’ve done. I personally wanted to make sure you don’t get to go to Hogsmeade for the rest of your stay here-“
“What? The whole year? You don’t mean that, right?” Lily asked, looking heartbroken and began tearing up.
Dumbledore shook his head, “It’s nowhere near as bad as you seem to think. You don’t need a constant supply of sweets and your friends can stay behind with you. However, I will be announcing that no one should buy things for you.” He said and immediately held up a finger on his free hand before Lily could interrupt. Considering she opened her mouth he suspected that she would. “I will need to explain a little bit since you’ll be staying and eating in a different area. Most of the details will be kept quiet unless you decide to tell anyone. Now what you rudely prevented Professor McGonagall from saying was that you won’t be allowed at Hogsmeade as long as you are a student at Hogwarts.”
Lily was so stunned that she stopped in her tracks, “So never?”
Minerva raised an eyebrow, “Never is a rather extreme way to describe the situation. You happen to be a sixth year student now. I don’t know how long the other restrictions will remain in place, but the Hogsmeade ban will last throughout your sixth and seventh years. Assuming you don’t decide to skip your seventh year, of course.” She said and silently gestured for the young witch to keep moving.
In a stunned silence Lily walked along with the headmaster and Minerva. Every couple of moments she looked at one of them with a sad look or pleading eyes. She mainly focused on the kind headmaster since it’s usually easy to get help from him. However, none of her attempts at getting sympathy were working at all. Soon enough she realized that they stopped again and there in front of them was the door to the Hufflepuff house.
Minerva stepped up to the wooden door with a badger symbol, “Honey fairy.” She said and the door to the cozy yellow common room. Immediately the sweet Mrs. Sprout, the Head of the Hufflepuff House, stood up with a smile. “This is your house now. Mrs. Sprout will show you around and bring you up just before dinner.”
Lily again batted her eyelashes sadly as Dumbledore’s glove finally released its hold on her, “Ok.” She said solemnly, but both Minerva and the headmaster just left.
“It’ll be alright, Lily.” Mrs. Sprout said and gestured for her to follow her. “Now this wasn’t planned so we had to make some arrangements.” The professor said as they went up the stairs and into the girls' dorm. “We have three people in a room, but everyone from your year is paired up.”
Lily blinked, “So I’m going to be paired up with first years?” She asked, secretly hoping for that since first years might be easy to trick.
“That was considered.” Mrs. Sprout commented as she guided Lily up to a door. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t do that since we haven’t sorted the first years and we don’t know how many will be Hufflepuffs. Instead we paired you up with two seventh years. Their third roommate decided to skip her seventh year to take her NEWTs early so I explained everything and asked them if they’d room with you. They happily agreed and said you can pick which bed you want.”
Lily twitched, “Everything?” She mumbled as the door was opened to reveal her new sleeping arrangement. Despite being a large, very charming room, with much bigger beds, three desks, three large wardrobes and that she gets to share it with far less people than in Gryffindor, Lily still couldn’t find anything good about it.
“Yes, but don’t worry. They’re quite nice.” Mrs. Sprout said with a smile as she pointed to Lily's trunk, which was sitting in the corner. “There’s your things. Feel free to pick your bed and settle in. The bed you pick is connected to the desk and wardrobe with the matching carvings so there’s no fighting over desks or wardrobes. I’ll come back before dinner so you can ask questions then and your uniform colors have already been changed so don’t worry about that.”
Lily smiled sweetly as the professor left, but she frowned once she was alone, “I wasn’t worried.” She huffed as she grabbed her trunk roughly. “This sucks.” The red haired witch muttered and flopped on a bed.
A small squeaking noise caught her attention. She hopped off the bed and looked under it. Whatever she saw made her smirk …

Severus yawned as he woke up from his sleep, “How long did I sleep?” He mumbled sleepily as he sat up.
“Most of the way, but that’s not too surprising. James was a well behaved pillow.” Lucius commented casually as he tossed the seemingly normal pillow on his lap to an amused Remus.
“Pillow?” Severus pondered in his sleepy daze. He was sure that he nodded off against Lucius’ lap. However, Severus realized what happened when Remus reversed the transfiguration on the warm pink pillow revealing that it was, in fact, James. “Oh, I’m sorry.”
James blushed, “It’s fine! Really! You needed to sleep.”
He said and for a moment Severus thought Remus didn’t completely reverse the transfiguration.
After all, James’ face was the same shade of pink as his pillow form. However, no one else seemed concerned about it. In fact, Lucius immediately started doing a health check on Severus so he decided to ask later.
“We’re here!” Sirius exclaimed excitedly as he looked out the train window and saw their stop along with the tops of the brightly lit castle towers in the distance.
Severus blinked, “I really did sleep that long.” He said, rather surprised to already hear the train slowly screech to a halt.
Soon everyone was getting their things and leaving the train. The first years were guided away to take the boats as everyone else walked to some carriages. With the speed of the carriages they were at Hogwarts in no time. As the house elves took their luggage and owls they filed into the Great Hall.
Lucius scoffed, “I guess we know where Lily was.” He commented when he saw the red haired witch sitting and sulking at the Hufflepuff table much to the Hufflepuff’s confusion. “Why is he here though?” Lucius hissed as he spotted Dumbledore sitting at the staff table. Out of pure concern he ignored the whimper from James as he separated Severus from the Gryffindors and immediately got Severus to the Slytherin table.
Dumbledore stood up, “Everyone! Please have a seat like usual. I will explain once our first years arrive.” He said calmly and all the students, even the few who were now cautious of him, took their seats at their tables. A few moments later the first years arrived. “With everyone present I’d like to explain one thing first before we sort our new students. There will be a few changes this year. One of those things involves the punishments around bullying.”
As expected several eyes went to James and Sirius, who were practically shrinking in their seats. Of course, most knew that they were the main culprits, but there were eyes flicking around to other peoples too. Now everyone was curious so the chatting quickly went quiet.
Once everyone became silent Dumbledore nodded, “Yes. There will be no tolerance. Now James Potter and Sirius Black had most of their punishments already. Everything came out and another person was saved as a result, but they are still under some restrictions. After dinner you can ask them for details. There is another person to discuss.” Dumbledore commented as pointed at Lily Evans. “Due to the things Ms. Evans has done her house was completely changed for the safety of another student. Also, considering this involves theft no one is allowed to buy her things or lend her money. I hope the Hufflepuff students will treat her kindly, but be strict as well. If there are any issues immediately go to Professor Sprout. You will also notice that Lucius Malfoy is in a healer uniform. He’s here as an official member of staff, but he is assigned to only one person for a good reason. Don’t bother him or his ward. There’s a few more changes to explain, but for now let’s sort our new students!”
The sorting began, but Lucius wasn’t paying attention. Instead he was performing a pre meal health check on Severus. After completing the check he kept his eyes on Dumbledore. The headmaster being present just didn’t make any sense. However, during dinner he didn’t have a chance to keep watch. Nearly every Slytherin at their table wanted to know why he was a healer and he was swamped with questions.
Minerva stood up once the meal ended, “Prefects will guide the first years to their house. Have a good night's rest everyone.”
Dumbledore followed Minerva out of the Great Hall and all the way up to the office, “Thank you for your help, Minerva.” Dumbledore said once the door closed. “Was that ok? I was sure that Dumbledore was more flamboyant than that.” Dumbledore said gratefully as he reached up to remove his pointy hat. Once the hat and the top part of the flashy robes were taken off Dumbledore turned into none other than Amber Pepperton in her Auror uniform.
“The robes make him seem more theatrical than he really is. Horace and I were happy to help the minister and Gringotts. It’s also quite nice to have a more cooperative headmaster for a change.” Minerva said cheerfully.
Amber smiled, “I’ll be here in the morning. Only you or Horace can get in here with those new runes. I have to assist my colleagues with a hunt so I have to keep Dumbledore’s appearances short until that’s done.”
Minerva scoffed, “That’s fine. No one will notice a difference.” She commented and the Auror flooed away …
