Summery: Lily and Severus recently learned they were twins and are now attending Durmstrang with fellow former Hogwarts student Remus Lupin.

Chapter 8

June 1972

There were still letters between Lily and James but it wasn’t until Lughnasadh that they were able to meet in person.

Lily was only just barely able to attend the Litha celebration of the Summer Solstice that the House of Prince was hosting.

While she had only limited experience as the Hostess of the House of Prince, Lily took a Church Potluck/picnic approach and invited all of the Houses invited to bring their House’s signature summer dish.

Lily of course left the Prince contribution up to Lolly, after all neither she nor Aurelius would have any knowledge of that.

Lily was praised for her unique handling of a pureblood festival and lauded because of her age.

It had been a success as had Aurelius’ Sun Ritual…

Lily had never seen purebloods so boisterous as they had been hailing the different embodiments of the sun…

Ra…

Apollo….

Saule…

Helios….

Hestia…

Sunna…

Some of those names she hadn’t exactly been familiar with…

The Heads of each House had lit candles and placed them in a circle around the Sun Candle on the altar.

Once the Ritual ended, Lily invited their guests to join them on the Shrewbury Villa’s terrace where the food was waiting.

Seating options were varied from blankets to iron-wrought patio furniture; there were also wicker loveseat swings as well as tables under gazebos.

Lily had only contacted Andromeda to ask who to invite and where to address their invitations, other than that it was all her doing…

The last event of her celebration was the lighting of a bonfire but Lily had led that one. It was to honour female goddesses after all. Despite being raised in the Anglican Church, it had never really felt real to her. Perhaps it was her Otherness on the edge of her consciousness…

July 1972

Given that Aurelius was essentially an older Severus, it wasn’t all that surprising that he insisted that they finish their summer homework at once and in the ‘ridiculous’ requirement of a week while at Lily’s adopted parents’ home.

Given her being Severus’ twin, much to Petunia’s annoyance Severus not only joined her parents on the train back to Cokeworth but also stayed with them.

This meant that Severus took the couch like he had during their childhood while Lily continued to share with Petunia.

Petunia declared that she was glad Lily was adopted, because that meant that she didn’t share blood with a freak.

It was the final nail in the coffin of their ‘sisterhood’; Petunia had always loathed Lily’s otherness…

Lily had always treated Petunia like a sister but being a witch wasn’t something she could or would undo about herself…

XooooooX

August 1972

Lily, Remus and Severus had agreed to remain at Durmstrang.

They really had no reason to return to Hogwarts, they were learning so much more at their new school.

While it was rumoured that Durmstrang and Hogwarts were still vying for the next Triwizard Tournament, it was definite that Beauxbatons was hosting it this time.

Rumour had it that only Sixth Year students were being sent from Hogwarts so not to endanger their final NEWT year.

Whether that was true or not was debatable…

Soon after returning to Merrivale, Lily and Severus joined Remus and Aurelius for flying lessons from a broom academy.

While Severus, Lily and Aurelius very much preferred the ground to flying, it was a common mode of Wizarding Transportation after all.

For a werewolf, Remus quite enjoyed the freedom of flying and seemed to be considering joining his House Quidditch team if they would take him.

Remus wasn’t the only one with Quidditch on the brain, the closer it came to September that was all James could talk about: auditioning for Gryffindor as a Chaser…

It was a sport, a Wizarding sport but Lily wasn’t anymore enthused about Quidditch than she was about Cricket…

Lily far preferred running and swimming when it came to sport, mostly because unlike gymnastics or ice-skating it was more about talent than special training. Also it was cheaper to learn to swim that it was to take gymnastic lessons, that didn’t mean that coaches weren’t important of course they were but they didn’t require quite as much special equipment…

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
