A sigh emitted from a huge pile of blankets on a large bed. Out of the large pile popped a head of bright red hair and two pale freckled arms. The arms threw the blankets from their equally pale body. A girl removed herself from the pile and made her way across her large room to her vanity table.
She primly sat on a stool in front of the large mirror and brushed her long auburn hair into a black ribbon neatly. She smiled as she applied light makeup over her doll-like features, almost smugly. When she finished she stood up straight and walked carefully to her large closet.
To say the closet was large was an understatement. Although it was not as big as the room it was attached to it was just as impressive with an equally high ceiling and dazzling clothes all throughout.
The redhead dressed quickly. She had good taste to say the least, and an even better body. She had a small frame but a curvy figure and stood at exactly 5'0". She placed square black glasses onto her dainty nose magnifying her emerald eyes. With a last inspection she smiled and made her way out into the large hallway and down the spiraling staircase.
"Oh! Lily darling! You gave me a start." Lily's mother cried, placing a hand on her chest. "I thought you had gone off to Diagonal Alley or whatnot. Isn't Raelynn going to be waiting for you?"
"I actually just woke up." Lily said straightening her outfit. "I'm sure Rae will be just as late, if not later. But I'm off now. I'll see you later Mum."
Her mother tossed Lily her keys and nodded farewell. Lily rushed out the front door too her black Porsche. She smiled at the outrageous vehicle; do you know another sixteen-year-old girl with a Porsche of her own? But it was her baby. As she got in and started the engine she stroked the dashboard lovingly. After about twenty minutes of travel she parked. Checking to make sure no muggles were watching she walked into an apparent abandoned building.
"Lils, Over here!" Shouted a tall blue eyed blond. Her beauty was easy to spot, not to mention her height of 5'11". "What's gotten you looking all flustered today?" She asked as Lily approached.
"Oh, nothing to bad. I just didn't want to be late. I slept in and yeah." She shrugged sheepishly.
"Ah, beauty sleep." Raelynn nodded. "To be completely honest, I just got here. Don't feel bad."
"Well, I'm glad I didn't keep you waiting." Lily laughed.
"Anyway!" Raelynn declared. "Let's get shopping!" and she ran for the back door.
"WAIT!" Lily giggled as she jogged to catch up.
Rae and Lily bought all of the necessities for their seventh and final year at Hogwarts. As a muggle-born witch Lily had been dumbfounded on her eleventh birthday when she received her acceptance letter. In all actuality Lily lead a very odd life. Her family were muggles, but very wealthy and highly respected. Despite this, she wasn't popular in the muggle world. Though the wizarding world was a whole different story. At Hogwarts everyone knew her name, everyone wanted to be her or atleast with her.
Rae and Lily were now sitting at 'Magical Munchies' eating and talking about the year ahead.
"Can you believe this is our last year?" Lily asked bewildered as she shoved a french-fry in her
mouth.
"Barely, What happens when I can't find a job?" Raelynn exclaimed dramatically.
"Oh shut up, you have the best grades in our year!" Lily giggled.
"Next to you of course." Raelynn nodded smiling. "Shall we have a more stimulating conversation?"
"We shall!" Lily smiled brightly and continued to giggle.
"So, Lillian Evans, who's the next victim of romance?" Raelynn raised a perfect eyebrow and giggled.
Lily frowned in concentration. "I honestly don't know, I mean I dated every Quidditch captain. Well, except the Slytherin one and I'm not giving him a go." She laughed at the ridiculous statement.
Raelynn gave a chuckle "Lily Hun, I assure you there are more guys in this school then that."
"Oh I know, but really Raelynn Adams, who is your next victim?" Lily replied laughing.
Raelynn sighed dreamily, "Jonathan Wilcot."
Lily choked on her drink and stared a Raelynn in shock. "That fifth year little boy?" she shook her head in disbelief. "First: he's way too young, second: he's far too innocent for your adventurous ways and lastly: he is so not good looking!"
"Oh my goodness Lily," Raelynn began, feigning disbelief. "First: age is nothing but a number, Second: I can't get in anymore trouble anyway, and he definitely is good looking!" Raelynn cried out quietly.
Lily laughed and glanced at her watch. "Oh Sugarquill! It's nine o'clock, I promised I'd be home by now. I'll see you in two days!" she got up and made her way back to the leaky cauldron.
"See you Lillian!" Raelynn shouted as she went the opposite direction.
It was already dark by the time Lily got out of the leaky cauldron. Paranoid, she jogged quickly to her car. When she finally got home she found the house empty. It was deathly silent; she could hear all the clocks from all 5 floors ticking in union.
"Mum!" Lily yelled. She rushed down the long hallway and up the wide staircase. She ran into her mother's room. She found her mother sprawled out on the white carpet. Her hair was in a mess and her clothes disarranged. "Oh my gosh, mum!" Lily cried. She stumbled over to the phone where it was hanging from it's stand. She dialed 911…
"Hello what's your emergency?" A woman on the line asked.
"My mum, she passed out. I don't know…" Lily broke down and began hysterically crying.
"All right honey what's your address?" The woman said.
"27 Sycamore lane." She attempted to say calmly.
"An ambulance will be right there. Would you like me to stay on the line?" the lady asked nicely.
"No. I think I can handle it." Lily said out of breath.
Lily collapsed by her mother. "Mum, can you hear me?" Lily heard the sirens from far away. She raced down the 2 flights of steps and ran out the door, the ambulance pulled into the driveway and ran up to Lily.
"Where's your mother?" A paramedic asked.
"3rd floor bedroom." Lily turned and ran up the stairs. "Follow me!"
Lily stood back and let the paramedics go to work. After three minutes that felt like hours, Mrs. Evans was lifted off of the ground on a stretcher and was put into an ambulance.
"Follow us."
Lily nodded and looked down at her hand that was still clenched around the keys biting at her skin. She threw herself into her Porsche questioning what had happened. When she finally arrived at the hospital a doctor in a white lab coat greeted her.
"Your mother has had a heart attack caused by some sort of stress or shock." He frowned down on Lily. She felt so small, so breakable, and so useless. "Would you know anything that may have caused this?"
Lily nodded and shrugged at the same time with tears in her eyes. "Well, my father… We haven't seen or heard from him in a while and the phone was off the hook when I found her. But she may have knocked it out of place through her fall." The doctor nodded and turned kind eyes down upon her.
"Well, there's no need to worry. Your mother's in a stable condition and is currently resting. The heart attack was minor, but I'm suggesting she relax as much as possible." Lily nodded, and he headed into her mother's room to check up once again.
Lily sat down on a chair outside the room, until she heard scuffling and shouts.
"Only family is allowed back there!"
Raelynn was turning corner as she shouted, "I'm her friggin' sister you bitch!"
"Oh, Lily!" Rae gushed as she enveloped Lily in a hug. "I came as soon as I heard!"
"I'm alright, a little shaken. But mum should be alright." Lily answer came muffled under the hug. "How did you find out?"
"Oh you know how daddy is. He can't help but inspect everyone's lives every damn second, but thank goodness he did!" Raelynn's father, the Minister of Magic was famous for being a busy body. "I'm so glad your mum is going to be alright! I was so worried!"
"Yeah, the doctor said she was in stable condition. She'll probably stay here for a few weeks though." Lily sighed. "We leave for Hogwarts the day after tomorrow. I don't know what I'm going to do…"
"Don't be silly Lily, you'll stay with me at my humble abode. Your mom can take your car when she's released. Just leave her a note with the keys. I drove my car so I can take you home with me and we can stop by your place to pack!" Raelynn exclaimed proudly.
Lily gave a small smile and nodded. "I suppose that's what I'll do."
Lily left a short note for her mother explaining where the car was and left her keys in her bedside drawer and set off with Rae. They hurried over to her hot pink convertible Corvette or her Barbie car, as she loved to call it.
"Gosh, I hate parking garages!" Raelynn exclaimed as they shoved themselves into her car. "I always think some evil man is going to kidnap me. Why'd you have to go and send her to a muggle hospital, anyway?"
"Because my mother is a muggle!"
The ride to Lily's house was spent in silence, Lily's head pressed against the window. Then out of nowhere Lily exclaimed, "This car so clashes with my hair!" Raelynn looked over surprised. She gave a chuckle.
"Then stop pressing your face against it." Raelynn replied as she steered up Lily's driveway.
They climbed out of the car and ran up to the fifth floor, where Lily's quarters were located. They started packing Lily's things into multiple trunks. With her closet empty with the exception of old gaudy gowns, they cast a spell that shrank four trunks and threw them into a fifth one. Lily grabbed her brush, hair products, accessories, and make up and shoved them all into a sixth trunk. They shrunk that too and threw it into the fifth. Finally they scrounged up Lily's school supplies and stuffed them into a seventh and final trunk, which she shrunk, and placed into the fifth.
"Am I missing anything?" Lily asked herself sarcastically looking around the bare room.
"For some reason I doubt it." Raelynn replied laughing. "Anyway let's get this party started! Daddy's at work and mummy's at a club." They linked arms and walked out the wide door and down the four flights of stairs, Lily's trunks levitating behind them.
Raelynn's house was anything but shabby. Even bigger then Lily's it stood tall into the blue sky. All white with lovely green shutters. A fountain in the center of the circular driveway reminded all of Mr. Adam's power and wealth. Inside it was massive, yet welcoming. Lily had felt welcome here since the first time she stepped foot into the home the summer after their first year.
The next two days were spent giggling, gossiping, watching muggle movies, and reading fashion magazines. The fun had sped up the two days and September first had arrived.
"LILY!" Raelynn shouted at her sleeping best friend.
"What?" Lily groaned and covered her head with a blanket. "Stop yelling."
"What are we going to wear?" Raelynn asked panicky, she ripped the covers away from Lily. She glared and went for the warm blankets.
Giving up, she replied defiantly, "Clothes." She yawned as she sat up.
"How could you say that? First impressions last, we need to look good. No great!" Raelynn shouted looking almost hysterical.
"You, my friend, are much too dramatic. We've known these people for the past seven years." Lily shook her head as she got out of bed and made her way to her many trunks.
"So we're just going to go back looking like crap?" Exclaimed Raelynn, now laughing.
They began to shower and dress for their train ride back to their home. Both Raelynn and Lily wore their long hair down, to curl at the ends naturally. They dressed simply for comfort, yet kept their beauty.
When they finally arrived at King's Cross they had ten minutes to make it to 9 ¾ . They made it in the knick of time, but were stuck looking for compartments. They searched up and down the train. Plenty of people offered them their spots, but they politely declined and continued their search. Their friends were all shoved into one compartment, and without any room. Lily and Raelynn shrugged and continued their quest of finding seats. They finally come to the last compartment at the back of the rather long train.
"This is it, or we're stuck sitting in the loo." Raelynn sighed. Lily slid the door open laughing. Three boys sat talking, they looked up at the girls, confused.
"Hi, may we sit here with you?" Lily asked almost nervous. She didn't know their names, only far off faces and amusing pranks.
"Only if-" A boy with shaggy black hair and dancing blue eyes began.
"Sure, make yourselves at home." A boy with sandy blond hair cut in nicely.
Lily and Raelynn sat opposite to the boys.
"So Evans, Adams, we know your names. You know ours?" The first boy asked. The third boy had messy black hair and a nice small smile that lit up his chocolate eyes.
"I don't know about Lily, but I don't know your name's. So how about some introductions!" Lana cried clapping her hands together. The shaggy boy let out a bark of a laugh.
"I'm Sirius Black." He pointed at himself.
The polite boy with sandy blonde hair looked up from his book he had continued reading. "Remus Lupin."
Finally the boy with the black messy hair introduced himself as "James Potter."
"Well, I'm Lil…" Sirius interrupted.
"Don't worry, love. We've got your names down."
Lily and Raelynn weren't very surprised. Most people if not all did know their names, but most people concealed the fact a bit while introducing themselves.
"Anyway, what brings you to our VIP compartment?" Sirius asked laughing.
"We got here extremely late, all the compartments were taken." Raelynn answered.
"Oh so we were just your last choice." Sirius feigned offense.
Out of no where all the lights went down and the strait came to a complete stop.
"What's happening?" Lily whispered.
"Death Eaters." James whispered back in shock. "On the express. How? This is impossible…"
They heard a boom like a cannon going off and screams of terror. Lily looked around at all of the stunned faces. Her pale face going a new shade of white, as everyone else's. They grabbed their wands and Sirius locked the door. Footsteps were running down the train.
"We're the last compartment, so maybe they wont make it back here." Lily whispered.
"Shut up." James whispered. Lily opened her mouth to retort but the door began to rattle and she jumped and took hold of Raelynn who grasped her equally as tight.
"Let me in you bloody idiots!" Cried a familiar voice. Lily and Raelynn looked at eachother.
"Emily?" They asked in union.
"Yes you morons, now open the door."
Remus, closest to the door got up to let the chalk white strawberry blond in.
"Sorry." Lily said sheepishly.
"We thought you were a Death Eater." Raelynn explained.
"Close enough." She replied sarcastically as she turned and locked the door. "It was just a warning." She slammed into a seat next to Lily exhausted. "I've been looking for you guys for the past twenty minutes, I came like one minute late and I had to physically jump onto the moving friggin' train." She sighed. "And I'm so sorry, Lils I couldn't make it to the hospital."
"It's alright, Em. She's in stable condition. I really can't wait to get to school." She yawned. "I can't wait to get some sleep either."
"Aren't we all." Raelynn agreed. Emily nodded as she looked around the room.
"So who are these guys?" She asked.
"Sirius Black."
"Remus Lupin."
"James Potter." They all replied lazily.
"Oh, you are those guys who prank the Slytherins all of the time!" She exclaimed excited.
Sirius clapped his hands together. "That would be us!"
