chapter one

that women is crazy

"Lily?" A nineteen year old yelled as she walked into the room. Her blond wavy hair descended down her back as she moved one leg in front of the other. She was around 5'9", and she loved teasing 5'5" Lily Evans about the height distance. "Fern wants everyone for training. I would hurry if you don't want to get on her bad side, Shortie."

Lily smiled at the nickname before she set her pencil down on the table and closed her book. She grabbed a band and pot her hair into a high pony tail before quickly rushing out of her room.

"Must you always tease me. I have no control over my size, Joy." Lily gently pushed her, laughing at the reaction she got. The women threw herself at the wall then crumbled into a ball, fake wincing.

"Oh the pain!"

Joy made it her mission to make sure Lily was always happy. She, along with everyone else, hated how Lily lost her childhood best friend, how her friends have stopped talking to her, how her sister was treating her, and how she lost both of her parents. If throwing herself into the wall will get her a smile, then she'll do it again.

"Stop being a cry baby, Happy. I barely touched you." Lily reached out her hand, which Joy used to help herself up. "What is Fern having us do?"

Joy sighed, thinking about her older sister. "Something light since Tuesday happened." Lily grimaced at the situation that happened a couple days ago. She, Joy, and Rose were attacked by a group that calls themselves the 'Death Eaters,' and if our wasn't for Lily quick thinking, they world have been dead.

The Death Eaters were, sadly, a group of purebloods and half bloods wizards and witches attempting to clean the dirty blood in society. They follow a man name Voldemort, who Fern and Rose are obsessed about wiping out.

"How's your head by the way?" Joy whispered as they walked past Guard and Spot, their German shepherd watch dogs. "It was a nasty hit."

"Emma and Fern know how to make a killer potion, Joy," Lily laughed, waving to Mack and Michael, who were walking out of the room they need to go in.

"That women is crazy!" Mack yelled, throwing his sweaty hands up in the air. He looked at the two youngest in the house. "She made us run seven miles. Seven!"

Michael started to chuckle with Joy. A smile formed on Lily's face as she rolled her eyes. "You should be lucky. Last time, she made Joy and I run nine."

"Unbelievable." Mack quickly walks away with a slight limp. None of them could figure out if he was faking or if he was being real. He went around the corner, and a couple seconds later, a huge crash went through the building.

"Put some ice on that!" Fern screamed out, throwing another wandless and wordless spell against the moving target. She was undoubtedly worried about everyone, and made it her job to make sure that each of them could support and defend themselves. "Joy, Lily, if you two aren't here in five minutes," she was cut of by two girls running into the training room.

"We're here! Right on time!" Lily yelled, waving her hands.

"It's Mack's fault!" Joy screamed, falling into her knees. "Don't punish me, Crazy Women!"

Fern started at her, with Lily covering her mouth, wondering what happen to her that she wasn't aware of.

"Ignoring that. Warm up and run two miles then I'm going to work with you two on DADA," Fern commanded. She marched away, clearly bothered by something.

Joy rolled her eyes at 'warm up' and started to run the two miles. Fern shock her head as she caught her sister running workout getting get body ready. Lily was stretching, moving her limps further than what Fern and Joy could do combined.

"Hurry up, Flower!" Joy ran past Lily, who just got done stretching her calves.

"When you pull a muscle, I'm going to say 'I told you so!'" Joy only laughed, shaking her head as she ran. "I'm serious!"

Lily sighed, her thoughts now on Hogwarts. Being serious lead get to Sirius Black, a good friend. Sirius Black lead to James Potter, a crush she had developed after he matured. She hated how she said no to every time he asked her out, but after taking to the gang, they agreed to the fact it was the right choice.

"From your point, James was too immature. The two of you wouldn't have lasted long."

"Jumping into a relationship isn't the best thing to do."

When Lily was -"Finally!"- done stretching, she started her two miles, but kept an eye on Fern, who had a certain smirk on her face. Lily smiled when she found her place jogging next to Joy. Both of them were fast, which they should be with training throughout the whole summer.

Fern watched the two, forming their lesson in her head along with her workout later. She held in a laugh when Lily tripped Joy, which she deserved from her attempts. "What will the world do with you two?"

Joy ended with a 12:01 while Lily ended with a 14:05. That were both exhausted from the run, which wasn't as far as Mack's and Mitchell's. Lily leaned against the wall, and Joy laid on the ground, whispering weak threats at her older sister.

"When I catch my breath, you better be running."

Fern waved her hand around the air, forming a replica of the situation they both faced Tuesday. A dark alley surrounded them.

"A perfect place to murder my sister."

Fern twitched her fingers, lights shined at the places where someone could enter or exit. "You to both have to be aware of these things. Either you will be attack in these places out for you to escape."

"If you ever try to escape, I'll block the exits."

Fern rolled her eyes at get younger sister, clearly not finding her words funny. Instead of ignoring her again, Joy seemed to magically lose her voice.

"You look like an angry fish."
