A bright sun shone across the red head wearing a blue hooded shirt. She was busy plucking yellow roses in her mother's small garden. Keeping about a dozen flowers in her left hand she wiped the sweat off her forehead with her free hand.
Hush, that was tiring –she thought
Lily was given a lot of work just in the first week of her holidays. She had wiped the windows clean. She had washed the car. She had removed the weeds. She finished plucking flowers. And now she was about to clean Petunias room.
Glancing at her watch she discovered that she was running late. It was already 4:30PM .It would have been so simple to do these things with her wand. Maybe only a matter of some few minute. Unfortunately she had no such privileges. And now if she didn't hurry she was going to miss the birthday party of Aunt Emma which was at 5 o clock .
"Why me?"She grumbled.
It was all due the courtesy of the Great Madame Petunia. Last night Petunia had told her parents about Lily breaking the priceless imported vase of her dad and hiding it beneath Petunias bed. That was fake,of course.
Over years, Tuney's experience of lying had gone to such an extent that you wouldn't find anyone in the whole city who had lied as much as her . It was such a silly lie . Who ?oh -who could enter Petunias room without coming out with a blackened eye .Ridiculous lie. But she acted very well.
Good actor she was. Shedding two three crocodile tears -that would make anyone believe her. And Mr and Mrs Evans were one of the most kind and innocent people Lily had ever met. Sadly they were the victims of Petunias false act every now and then. Lily had protested, sure, but with no good outcomes. She couldn't even cry like Petunia maybe because she was a Gryffindor.
So finally the judgement was against Lily. "You little girl with big attitude." her mom said. "You need to be taught a lesson" saying this her mom grabbed a pen and a paper and made a long list of chores.
After being handed out the list Lily let out a groan and directed her eyes towards Petunia who had then stopped crying and was sitting with a satisfactory smirk on her horse like face.
