Three Years Ago
"Mommy, why can't I go?" I asked as I watched my older brothers, James and Albus run off unto the forest.
"Honey I've told this before, your not old enough," my mother, Ginny, stated as she pulled me into her lap
"I never get to do anything fun!" I said, crossing my arms over my chest. I jumped out of my mommy's arms and ran up to my room, slamming the door behind me.
James and Albus always get to do everything, while I'm stuck at home with nothing to do, I thought.
Then I get and odd idea. James's Invisibility cloak is in his room, unguarded at the moment!
I crept over to James's room without making a sound. Looking around the room, I saw his cloak lying on his bed. I ran over and grabbed it as quick as I could, and slipped under it. I silently tip-toed down the stairs and into the sitting room...
Mom was now in the kitchen making cookies. I had to resist the urge to ask to lick the bowl. I slipped out of the sitting room door and out into the open fields. No one lived within 10 miles of us so we could always play Quiditch in our huge back yard.
The forest was only about a hundred yards from our house. James and Albus were always aloud to play there once Albus turned ten, as long as they didn't go too far, but I was never aloud to go because I am only eight.
Once I was halfway to the forest, I broke out into a run. I could here my mommy calling to me, asking if I wanted cookies, only to find no reply. I really wanted to go get cookies, but I wanted to go play with James and Albus even more.
I only have about a minute to make it or Mommy will come looking! I thought as I ran even faster and into the forest.
I took off my brother's invisibility cloak and set it at the edge of the forest, before heading in to look for my brothers.
There was complete silence as I trudged along deeper and deeper into the woods.
Ten minutes later, I started getting worried. Tears began to fall from my eyes, and sat down on a large tree stump. I buried my face into my hands and started bawling.
Why did I just have to go and play with my big brothers? I thought to myself. Why couldn't I have just listened to Mommy? If I had then I would be having milk and cookies right now!
Then, I thought I heard movement not 20 feet away. "James? Albus?" I said hopefully "Is that you?" There was no reply.
I thought I heard the same noise again, but this time closer. I was starting to get scared.
Then I heard a voice that was neither James's nor Albus's. "Are you ok?" the voice asked.
"Wh-who a-are y-y-you?" I stuttered. A boy not four inches taller than me appeared five feet in front of me. He had dark brown hair that was about the same length as Albus liked to keep it, and deep green eyes. He wore a black shirt and dark skinny jeans.
"Calvert Villerson" he replied. "And you are?"
"Li-Lily Potter" I replied uneasily.
" Its nice to meet you Lily Potter" stated casually " and might I ask what you are doing out here alone and crying?"
"I-I-I g-got lost" I said wiping away the tears from my face.
"Need a hand?" Calvert asked, his hand reached out to mine.
I took his hand. " Thanks" I said quietly.
"No Problem"
We walked in silence as we walked in the direction of my home until Calvert said, "So Lily Potter, how old are you?"
I had stopped crying now, and my stuttering was down a great amount. "I'm eight" I replied simply, '" and you?"
"Same" He replied.
We reached the edge of the forest 3 minutes later to the sound of my mother screaming my name. All I wanted to do was run back into the forest to avoid the punishment that I knew was coming.
But instead I was wrapped up into a huge hug. "Oh Lily! Never do that again!" my mommy said trying not to cry.
"Mommy! I'm okay! Calvert here helped me find my way back!" but when I looked over to where he should have been standing, he was gone.
"Come on lets get you inside, your father and I have been worried sick about you! But don't think that you're getting away with this missy. There will be consequences" Mommy said as we started walking towards the house.
