But because of the new girl, she at least now knew that the weeping girl's name was Lilly! "You two are friends?" she asked smiling at the first year.

"I love my dad, he's just..." It was hard to say, "Hopeless. If he wanted us back he'd pull himself together." Who knew, maybe he was trying his best to find a job at that very moment. Not likely. But he didn't mention anything like that in his occasional owls. So maybe he wasn't trying to give them false hope? There was a slim chance...
"Rupert's fine. It just feels weird. He's not the right replacement, somehow." After all those happy times with her mum. That was the happy thought of her attempt at a Patronus in first-year. She got a tiny wisp, so it must've been the right thought. Rupert had owled her telling her about all the fun activities he had planned. She was glad she didn't go back for Easter of Christmas.
Lilly looked up to see LILY there! Nearly as good as ROSE! "LILY! How are you? I'm great! Ira, this is Lily!" If her name was Ira. She hadn't actually answered yet, so...
Lily smiled at the girl who she hadn't known in the compartment.
"Nice to meet you Ira... I'm Lily with one 'L' and that's Lilly with two 'L's" The first year said motioning towards Lilly. Carefully she made her way into the compartment and managed to get her trunk stowed away and put her owl cage with her agitated owl, Phoenix, on the seat next to her as she sat down.
"And yeah... I met Lilly on the train out to Hogwarts." Ever since they had been friends.
Turning to the other gryffindor in the compartment, Lily got up and hugged her friend.
"I'm kinda excited... I made it through my first year!!!" The claw got excited before relaxing a bit.
"Why were you upset earlier?" Lily asked as she got comfortable on the seat and pulled out some leftover candy.
