Are You Kidding ME?
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, though I wish I did!
Over the summer I was, well not the happiest person in the world. I had to avoid Sev-Snape, had to deal with Petunia (which was so tiresome!), I also had to go to my dad's funeral. He passed away in July due to a disease. Whenever someone mentions I start crying. I haven't told my friends because I don't want them to worry. The whole family has been so sad that even Petunia couldn't yell at me. That is until I got my Head Badge.
"Mom, Oh my god…. Mom! Can you believe it! I got it! I GOT MY HEAD BADGE!" I stood there holding my badge jumping up and doing a little happy dance.
"Would you shut up, Lily! Some people want to have a peaceful breakfast!" Petunia snapped at me from behind a wall of short dark hair.
"Petunia!" Mother scolded her with her fork in hand, " Let your sister be happy, this is a big deal!" My mother turned to me "So what exactly is Head Girl?"
"It's where you are just under the teachers, but above students and Prefects! You get your own room and everything!" I wasn't that bothered by what Petunia said, in fact I was actually wondering if she was ever going to get back to normal. My mom had been hit the hardest with dad's death. Even though she tried to be strong, sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night to hear her crying. She stopped crying a couple weeks ago. She was my hero. She had been there during everything. Petunia and I had cried our eyes for days. During that time she didn't even choke up. Mom's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
"If your Head Girl, then there must be a Head Boy?" Mom said quirking her eyebrows. I laughed at what she was implying.
"There is a Head Boy; I just don't know who it is. Quite frustrating actually."
Petunia spoke up "Another one of your freaks more likely."
Mother looked furious. "Petunia do I have to make you go to your room when you are nearly 19!" Petunia stood up "I will go, just so I can be away from this freak!" Petunia strode out of the room, but not before muttering "Thank God Vernon doesn't know I have a sister like her!"
Those words hurt me the most. Vernon her boyfriend didn't even know that I was there. My mother sighed heavily and started clearing the plates.
I woke up on September 7 to hear a car door slamming. I lifted my head groggily and looked out the window to see Petunia's car screech out of the driveway and down the street. I sighed and fell back against her pillow. After a few more hours of sleep, I got dressed and the usual, but I charmed my trunk to be bigger so I put a ton more books in there.
When my mom and I arrived at Platform 9 ¾ I hugged my mom and she whispered good-bye and to write every week. When I stepped inside the barrier, I was tackled to the ground by Alice Prewett. Alice is my best friend. She is a little shorter than I am with short dark brown hair. She started Frank Longbottom during the summer and wouldn't shut up about him, but they were so cute together that I couldn't be mad.
"Lily! Oh my god! How have you been? Frank and I hung out during the summer and it was… AMAZING!" She shouted that last part and many people were staring at us. She said this all really fast.
"I've been…good. I'm really happy for you and Frank! Now can you please get off of me, I have a need to breathe,"
I heaved a sigh of relief. I stood up and brushed myself off. I heard Alice gasp. I gave her a "what-are-doing" look and she pointed to my robes. I looked down and saw my Head Girl badge. Just then I remembered that I forgot to tell my friends about my badge. I smiled weakly "Surprise!" I said looking at her shyly. Then Alice started giggling and someone tapped me on the shoulder. I screamed and fell. When I saw who it was, I tried to send my best scowl at her. It failed. It was Emmeline Vance, other best friend, taller than Alice, but shorter than me. She has dark blonde hair that fell to her waist. She was also very bookish, more than, well, me. They both stared at my badge again then Emmeline pouted and said "How could not tell me! Whatever!" Then as she hugged us, we were all rammed into the ground. This time it was Hestia Jones. Hestia was the smallest out of all of us (meaning my group of friends Alice, Hestia, and Emmeline) and she had wavy dark hair and was known as the school flirt.
After she got over me being Head Girl ("Bloody Hell!") we all picked a compartment and Emmeline and I went to the Prefects compartment. Emmeline was in front of me and when she saw who the Head Boy was she smirked. I gave her a confused look in returned. That is until I saw who it was. James Potter was sitting there with the badge on. He looked at me worried that I was going to scream. I stood there for five minutes with my mouth hanging open. Finally I said
"Are you kidding me!"
Reviews would be nice, just saying. This is my first story that has chapters so I am trying really hard to write some pretty long chapters!
