Lilly was laying on her already made bed just looking at the ceiling anticipating how her school year is going to be like. If it will be different. "Different.. yea right." Lilly scoffed and rolled her eyes. She rolled off her bed and looked at her mirror. She turned left then, turned right checking to see if her outfit was okay. She was wearing a forest green, long sleeve shirt, with black cargo pants that were low enough to see her angel-piggy panties. She also had a long rainbow scarf around her neck, but you can't forget her matching rainbow toe-socks. She had rings on every finger, big clunky lime green and black earrings and her hair was wavy from bed-head but she liked it that way. "Lilly break-feast!" Mrs.Evans called from downstairs. "Coming Mother!" Lilly yelled back. She looked around her room to make sure she wasn't missing anything then walked to the kitchen. "Here Lilly have some breakfast, it's good for you. You are way to skinny." Mrs.Evans rambled on as she piled one stacks of bacon, ham, sausages, and eggs on her plate. Lilly looked at her mother with wide eyes. "EWW Mum! You know I don't eat meat or eggs. Its wrong to eat poor little animals-- "But what about eggs?" "Well, that's just pre-life! You didn't even give him or her a chance to live!" Lilly argued as she pushed away her plate. "So do you want cereal." Mrs.Evans said lamely knowing defeat. "Of course." Lilly replied simply.
Mrs.Evans went to pour cereal in a bowl while muttering something about how ridiculous kids today are Lilly was just about to eat a spoonful of wheaties, when Petunia walked in.
"Must you yell, so early in the morning? The neighbors will start talking-- What are you looking at freak?" Petunia asked Lilly who was staring at her opened-mouthed. "What in the hell are you wearing?" Lilly asked with a raised eyebrow. Petunia was wear pink leg-warmers, with an off the should sweater which was way to big on her anyway. She was also sporting bright purple spandex pants with a matching headband. Her make-up wasn't any better. She had bright pink lipstick with clashed with her offly pale skin. Lilly laughed."Who do you think you are Olive Newton-John?" Lilly asked through laughs. Petunia blushed. "N-no. It's the latest style. But you wouldn't know anything about style." Petunia retorted thinking that that was a good comeback. "But you don't even workout, honey." Mrs. Evans said, eyeing her outfit. "Mum! Your supposed to be on my side!!" Petunia shouted stomping her foot on the floor. "Oh Pet, I really wished you and your sister would just get along-- "Your Mother is right you know." Mr.Evans agreed as he walked into the kitchen while fixing his tie."It is get pretty old." "Your Mother is right you know." Mr.Evans agreed as he walked into the kitchen while fixing his tie."It is get pretty old. " What that nasty old tie you always wear or the fighting?" Lilly asked her father sweetly. Mr.Evans chuckled and gave Lilly a noogie. "Daddy grow-up."Petunia said as she ate her bacon. "Who calls there Father Daddy when they are 19?"Lilly asked. "Why don't shut it? You freak!" "At least I don't follow trends like a brainless dolt!" "Well, maybe you should. Then you can seem normal. You and your freak- school-- "I do not go to a freak school!" Mr. and Mrs. Evans were watching the fight like a tennis match, they were to use to it by now. Listen Petunia, I am not going to deal with you right now because.... Well frankly it's a waste of my time. And I am leaving today to go to HOGWARTS. Yes, say it with me HOG-WARTS got that. It is not a freak school it is one of the best wizarding schools in Europe, and I am not going to spend the last hour I have with my family arguing with you! So just give it up you can't win."Lilly snapped. Petunia looked taken-aback, but then regained her cool. She took her napkin clean the corners of her mouth and stood up. "Well, the sooner you leave the better. Mother may I call Vernon" "But that's long distanc-" Mrs.Evans begin but then saw her husband mouthing 'let her'. "All right, go ahead and call him." Mrs.Evans sighed. Once Petunia left Mrs.Evans looked up from her plate at Lilly. "That was really uncalled for Lilly Marie. I do not appreciate you patronizing Petunia. You know better. Your father and I told you to control your outbursts. It has happen way to many times. You know that you are the more rational one so, you why don't you use it to your advantage and let it go. For all of us!" Mrs. Evans snapped slamming her knife and fork on the table making them all jump. "Rachel, Lilly isn't the only one who needs to control herself. Please clam down."Mr.Evans told his wife sternly. "I'm sorry Kevin and Lilly of course. I'm just stressed out. *snif* *snif* my little girl is leaving again. I'm just going to miss you Lilly. You understand that right honey?" "Of course Mum, I'll miss you aswell.Umm..I am going to pack a few books." Lilly retorted as she rushed to her room. She went to her nighstand and took out a parchment and quill and sent a letter to closest, sweetest, friend ever. Her best friend, Audrey Woods
Audrey- Please get me out of here! My Mum is getting sentimental again!! At least my Dad is all right. And of course 'Pet' as my mum likes to call her is being a royal itch with a B. We have quiet a bit to talk about, so the sooner you come and get me the better. Lilly P.S. Don't forget the whisky! just joshing ya!!
Once Lilly reread her letter, and sent it she waited impatiently for a reply. Within 10 minutes an owl came through her window. It was a good thing they lived 4 blocks away from each other.
Lilly- I'll be there in a sec. Sorry about your emotional family. -Audrey P.S. I was looking forward to bringing it too. Damn. Oh well!
Lilly smiled when she finished her letter. She got her trunk and extremely large duffle-bag down stairs. As she got older she soon found out that a trunk doesn't always fit ALL a girls necessities. Especially, if she is 16, and going away for most of the year. "Mum, Dad, Audrey is coming to get me!" Lilly yelled and almost tripped when she saw that Audrey was already there smirking. She has obvisouly just saw Petunia. "AUDREY BABY!" "LILLY DARLING." "HOW HAVE YA BEEN!"They yelled in unison "oh do shut up." Petunia muttered wearily. Audrey and Lilly were to busy hugging to listen. "Lets get out of here. We have so much to talk about." "Don't you want to say your good-bye's to your folks??" "Oh yea, MUM DAD I'M LEAVING! BYE!" "Ahhh! honey don't go yet come here!!" Mrs. Evans yelled out as she pushed her husband out of the way to get there first. She squeezed Lilly to death, and gave her tons of kisses. "Good-bye honey, make sure to write. Have a good school year." Mr.Evans said as he hugged Lilly. He also discretely gave her a huge wad of cash. He did this every year, and every year it got bigger. Mrs.Evans didn't know a thing about it.
"Have fun sweetie." Mr.Evans said and winked. "Oh (we shared a look with Audrey) we will." Once Lilly was out of the house, she took a deep breath. "I'm free." Audrey took out a cigarette and lit it. "Want one?" "Yes, please. I didn't have a ciggy for 2 months."Lilly said eagerly taking a ciggy from Audrey. "Why the hell not?" She asked with raised eyebrows. "Well, you know how I went to Surrey to stay with my Aunt and Grandmother?"
"Yea?" "Well, she has this thing with smoke, she starts coughing her brains out. And they have these smoke detectors that are crazy. It can detect it a mile away. Plus I spent all my money on clothes." Lilly said as she exhaled. "Surrey huh? Must have been fun. You, Petunia, your Aunt and Grandma. You had a fabulous time I expect?" Audrey commented sarcastically. "That's not the worst part Petunia had a summer 'romance.'" "Do tell -- HEY GET OUT OF THE STREET YOU BLOODY HAG!" Audrey yelled out to an old lady who was walking on the sidewalk. Audrey was merely driving on it. She turned 17 two weeks ago, so she went to get her license. "How did you manage to get a license anyway?" Lilly asked temporally forgetting about her conversation. "Oh, you know I am just a good driver." She replied innocently. When she saw Lilly's un-conviced look she gave in. "Okay, I charmed his memory every time I made a mistake. So sue me." "Alrightly..... well, anyway. His name is Vernon Dursly and he is a total git. He is really muscular? aswell, but I found steroids in his bag so I took away and wrote a note to his mother. Petunia is totally smitted with him, its disgusting. I am so glad I am back in London, Surrey is so boring. Petunia says she wants to move there." "I really don't see Petunia as the boyfriend type. *sigh* Hey, we have 30 minutes, how about we go shopping? There is this new place near Kings Cross its great." Audrey asked. "Oh...... all right." Lilly agreed. "Don't worry we won't be late. You know I hate people who are late, especially if its me." Audrey said as she turned the corner and parked. Lilly was so glad to be reunited with her best friend. Audrey was like Lilly, which made them two get along really well. Audrey is very outgoing, which was good because Lilly can't stand boring people, she is also very sarcastic, fun, and likes to tell jokes even if they are really bad ones. But the thing that made Audrey become Lilly's best friend is that she cared. She is too generous for her own good. When it came to looks Lilly and Audrey were total knockouts, but don't tell them that cause they'll knock you out! "So Audrey what did you do over the summer?" Lilly asked as she threw her cigarette butt to the ground and stepped on it.
"I mostly hung out with Jessica Dawn. And listen to music. You know same old same old. What do you think about this shoes?" Audrey asked showing Lilly furry leopard print boots. (think spice girls) "There... different."Lilly replied 'There perfect I'll take them." "What do you think about this top?" Lilly asked Audrey. "No one at all is wearing it!! You should get it!" Lilly nodded. She couldn't see why no one was buying the shirts, they looked really cool. The thing about Lilly and Audrey was that they like to be different. Sometimes its intentionally and sometimes it happens naturely. If they like a music group no one knows about, and they suddenly become famous then Lilly and Audrey will be the first the throw away there 8 track. (Yup I am going 80's hehe). Their style was defiantly something to look at or, well laugh at. You already know what Lilly was wearing but Audrey was more on the edge. She was wearing a hippie purple and blue tie-dye shirt that showed her belly. She was also wearing about 12 brightly colored belts, some with rhinestones, other with spikes, and some with teddy-bears. But the thing was....... they didn't even hold up her pants. Her pants were just like Lilly's only that it was flares. And 'no one wore flares, that's too disco.' It all about the straight leg. Or at least that's what everyone is saying. Her hair was super sleek aswell, since all the girls were puffing and crimping theirs. She was also sporting spiked heels, and lighting bolt earring on one ear and a little diamond stud on the other. She never wore make-up in her words it was "Exactly the things that hide our shortcomings. If a guy likes me, he should know what he is getting and should accept it! " And the no make-up thing works for her.
They got to the car and made sure that no one was looking so Audrey could shrink it. They then walked across the street to the Hogwarts Express.
