DISCLAIMER! I OWN NONE OF THE CHARACTERS YOU RECOGNISE, THOSE GO TO THE LOVELY JKR! :)
"What must we go to America? Why, why, WHY?" I cried for at least the billionth time. I already knew the answer, though. 'Because your mother has family there and we've never gone anywhere outside the UK!'
"Because your mother has family there and we've never gone anywhere outside the UK!" My dad said, as expected. Ugh!
"But why do we have to be there for a whole year? " I wailed flinging my arms up in frustration.
"Because we've never met these relatives and we need to spend some quality time with them! Besides, it's good to try new things Lil', and you'll make some new friends, too!"
"Ya, come on, Lily, why can't you ever be happy? I'm excited about going to America for the year! And they have such funny accents there!" Said my oldest brother, just now appearing in my doorway.
"James Sirius Potter that's just offensive!" I yelled at him. "And as for the 'not being happy' part, maybe that's because I grew up with you! I seem to remember you tuning all my dolls into spiders during one of my tea parties as a child!"
"In my defense I got the idea from something Uncle George did to Uncle Ron as a kid…"
"Besides, you don't have to go to go to magic school there! You're eighteen!" I continued. "Who knows what they do differently in America..!"
"They do do some things differently in America, such as your first year starts when you're thirteen-"
"SEE! I'd only be a SECOND YEAR! I'll be WAY Ahead of my class! Everyone will think I'm a show off!"
"AND" Continued Dad, ignoring my comment. "You're such a nice person to be around, I'm sure you'll make some new friends in no time!" James stifled a laugh at that, but straightened up as soon as Dad sent him a piercing look. He then turned to me and said, "I'm sure you'll be fine."
He then left my room and James followed behind him. I tuned and picked up my pet, a light purple half cat-half kneezle with darker purple speckles. James had said her face looks like she had, "been chasing a truck with a brake problem," but I thought fondly of the cat whom I thought was cute, and named it Gloria.
Gloria purred and batted at my face lightly, as if sensing I was in distress. "I hope he's right, Gloria!" I whispered to my cat. "I hope I won't be an outcast!"
"Come on Lily, we haven't got all day, we have to catch the flight." My mother hollered upstairs to me.
"I'M COMING!" I hollered back. I quickly grabbed my trunk, my duffel bag, and my cat carrier. I heard a mournful cry from Gloria as I stepped out my door. I looked down at the cat carrier. "I know, I don't like it either, but you just have to deal with it until we get to Ohio!"
Poor Gloria had to have her fur magically turned brown, rather than her usual purple, so the muggles on the plane wouldn't be suspicious of anything. As I came downstairs Dad was explaining to James yet again why we must ride "the fly-muggle-thingy" to get to America.
"It's too far to apperate, and they don't have a fireplace! Also we can't drive because the whole Atlantic Ocean' in the way! I've told you this five times already!"
"But what if it falls out of the sky, or it's taken over by terrorists, or whatever their called! That happened in America TWICE before!"
"That war is over, dung-brain!" I told my brother. I had taken Muggle Studies, so I knew all about the Muggle wars. "Besides, that was the nation's capital! We're going to a small farming state! The only things to crash into there are barns and cows!"
"That's untrue, Lily!" Scolded my mother lightly. "We're going to one of the cities, there's plenty there, like a 'zoo'! (That's where muggles take animals and put them in little versions of their habitats so people can go to see them!) And I heard there's a big 'theme park' there, (that's a place where muggles have a bunch of thrill rides, like a 'rollie coaster'! It's like a train, but with big hills and fast drops to scare you!)"
Dad chuckled and said, "It's 'roller coaster,' dear, not 'rollie coaster!' "
Mom blushed and said, "Well, I was close enough…"
"Aren't we supposed to be leaving for the plane?" Asked my other older brother, Albus. Dad looked at the clock.
"Merlin' Pants, your right, Al! Come on everyone, get in the car!"
We all piled into the blue Toyota Corolla (which was bigger on the inside than on the outside) and took off, barely making our flight. After a long while, we finally made it to America.
When we exited the plane Dad threw his arms open and said "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, The United Stated of America!"
