Tears swarmed my vision as I ran out towards the Black Lake. I heard them calling me, but I didn't look back. I only stopped when I reached the edge of the lake. Then I realised it was raining and I was soaking wet. When Seamus (My now ex-boyfriend) and Lucy (My so-called-cousin) stopped shouting my name. Then I made my way up to the castle.
I suppose I should tell you who I am. And what happened.
My name is Lily Luna Potter, yes, yes the daughter of the famous Harry Potter the-boy-who-lived and Ginny Potter (nee Weasley) the Quidditch correspondent for the Daily Prophet. I have loads of cousins, I shall introduce you to them now:
Victoire: My favourite cousin (don't tell anyone I said that) She is engaged to Ted (My god-brother). Funny, Lively, Kind , Honest and genuine. AKA Vic.
Domnique: Vics sister. Domnique is very much like Vic. Shes dating Dean Finnigan, My ex-boyfriends best mate. AKA Dom.
Louis: Vic and Doms brother. Kind, Funny different from Dom, but very similer to Vic.
Fred: The exact same as uncle George! Funny, Loves pulling pranks, childish, but really kind. AKA Freddie
Roxanne (if you want to die): Funny, lively, but can be serious and gives really good advice when needed. AKA Roxy
Molly II: Smart, pressured, (being the minister for magic's daughter can have that effect), really nice and kind EXTREMELY quiet
Lucy: Rebel without a cause! (But I hate her now….) AKA Luce
Rose: Smart, nice but she really has a temper! AKA Rosie
Hugo: Kind, smart but not crazy smart like Rosie. My best guy friend. AKA Hu
Teddy: Really kind and funny AKA Ted
James: PROTECTIVE! Funny, kind (when I don't want to strangle him) AKA Jim (but only I'm allowed to call him that)
Albus: Protective but not as protective as James. Kind and funny. AKA Al
ME!: Amazing, all kinds of awesome (if I do say so myself) AKA Lils, Lilykins (only Jim, Al and Ted call me that)
I just found out that my boyfriend (now ex-boyfriend) of 6 months has been having a 3 month affair with my cousin Lucy.
I ignored everyone as I made my way to bed.
"Lils? What's wrong?" James asked a worried expression on his face.
"Nothing" I replied without stopping.
When I reached my dorm I ignored everyone, especially Lucy. I got into bed not bothering to get changed into my pyjamas.
I was woken up by voices, I tried to ignore them but was startled by the sound of a door slamming. Then I decided to get up. But instantly regretted it, as I found Lucy sitting on her bed weeping.
I pulled on my robes and gathered up my books and started to walk across to the door.
'Lily, we need to talk' Lucy said when she looked up.
Keep cool, ignore her.
'You cant ignore me forever' She said as if she'd been listening to my thoughts. 'We have to talk' She added.
I still ignored her as I made my way down the stairs towards the common room, where all my cousins sat with worried looks on their faces, but this time the worried looks are not directed at me, but at Lucy and her puffy red eyes…..
'She found out didn't she' Molly said loudly, it was not a question.
She knew! She knew and did not tell me!
Lucy didn't reply.
'Found out what?!' James asked angrily. 'What did you do to make my baby sister so upset?!'
'Shes been snogging my boyfriend, ex-boyfriend' I said quietly.
'What?!' James, Albus, Fred and Louis said at once.
'Its all just a misunderstanding…..' Lucy started but I didn't hear the rest of it as I ran out the portrait hole.
I stopped when I reached a deserted class room. I closed the door, dumped my bags on a desk, slid down to the floor and cried.
After a few minutes, James rushed in panting. When he saw me on the floor, he didn't say anything. Just sat down and put his arms around me.
Even though I felt like dying, James made me feel better.
Things will get better. I hope…..
