as i followed the students second year and up into the great hall, i couldnt help but think about what the portrait of albus dumbledore had told me last year. do i even know my friends from my enemies? i dont know the correct answer to that. but how would one of my friends be... an enemy? well, they do say that the old man is bonkers.. or, er, was bonkers.

"Lily- practice next Wednesday." my Ravenclaw qudditch captain, Zayne had announced to his Qudditch members.

since mum was the school Qudditch reff, she was only here for games, which i enjoy. the first game of the year, Gryffindors against Ravencaw, is when the teams' parents come to watch. they only come for the first, and the tournament. which, Ravenclaw had won last year.

after the the feast was over, Rue, Veronica, and myself went upstairs to our dorms.

"honestly? i dont want to be Uncle Percy tommorrow." "come on! he cant be that bad!" i rolled my eyes at Veronica, and muttered before going to sleep, "ha, just you wait."

the next morning rolled around, and Professor Flitwick handed us our time tables. lets see what i have....

what i was really looking forward to was Ancient Ruins. i was the only Ravenclaw third year in there who was taking it. i knew no one else there, except Rosie, Al, and Scorpius. Al saved me a seat! he didnt even know i was taking this class!

i took my seat next to my brother right as the bell rang. i smiled at the three of them, as Uncle Percy did attendance. "Albus Potter?" "Hiya." "Lily Potter?" shyly,iraised my hand, and quietly said, "Preasent." he went down the list, and had us do a small project with the person on are right. that meant Al.

"the question is- 'why did the Ancient Ruins in Greece become national wonders?' beging, you have until the end of class."

i grabbed a sheet of parchment and a quil, and i went into a full blown out explaination. i whispered, just loud enough for Al to hear,

"the Ancient Ruins in Greece became a natural wonder in the ancient world due to its architchure. since the temples, were considerably ancient ruins, had marble stone for the base and the pillars, it became a wonder. since the marble was so delicitly handcrafted, it brought tourists- even to this day- to see the ruins.

the most famous one, the Parnontheon, Athena's temple, is currently the most puzzling architulal structure in Greece, since the Panartheon has been said to have had held the largest statue known to this day, the largest portrait of a God, which just happens to be athena.

considering that the myth states that the Ancient Romans stole the statue, and it is unknown, supposably, where it exactly is, this makes it even more puzzling. as the portrait was stolen, the symbols in the walls are still trying to be figured out by archiologist. seeing as the Parnotheon is a Greek word that means- 'Place of the Virgin', it makes it even more mysterious. that is why the Ancient Ruins in Greece are natural wonders of the Ancient World."

he looked flabbergasted, and once i turned that in, he looked at me like i was nutts.

to make memore embarrassed? Uncle Percy read this outloud to the class. Also, to make this even worse, Aunt Hermione had to come and get me, she wanted me to help her set up something. she had heard the whole essay.

asi walked down the corridor with her, she said, "i dont even think i know all that stuff.. or Rosie." i nodded my head. "are you usaully this shy?" "i guess." i said smally. "i just have to be with the correct people, you know?" she nodded her head of bushy brown hair pulled up into a bun.

"i just... dont get you sometimes Lil'. sometimes- know one seems to." i didnt look offended. maybe a little hurt, but not horribly devastated.

"what does no one know about you?" i sighed, and told her the truth.

"i have dyslexia, and ADHD, which, uh, can get me into trouble, but i keep it calm. im stronger than my brothers together- in the mind and muscles- and smarter than people think. at home i can be so quiet because its not.... im like the falling lily in the pond. i fell down, alone, while all the other flowers are up there, above me, more well known, and more expected of.

im the fallen lily- over protected, and it feels like they dont trust me with anything. a points, i feel so alone. its like the light in my mind is burnt out, so dark, because in the dark, you feel alone. they dont understand anything, at home. they dont think of me. it annoys me so much! some times, i just want to murder myself- to see if they actually care. i dont care if you tell them that some times i get so annoyed that i want to murder myself! i dont care. i want to show them that theres a lightbulb in my head, and its not burnt out- so idont feel alone."

Aunt Hermione did just that.
