Lily gets angry
Lily sat at the table poking her potato rather viciously. She should be happy, she told herself. Her brothers were finally home for Christmas!
However at the moment they were busy talking about Hogwarts. Reminiscing on certain corridors and ghosts. Teachers, talking portraits, moving staircases. The list goes on it seemed…
"And guess what! I saw the giant squid!" Albus exclaimed
"So what! I've seen the giant squid, in fact I would say me and the giant squid are best friends!" James chortled,
"Have you found the room of requirement yet?" her father asked grinning,
"Eurggh!" exclaimed Lily, who had finally had enough.
The whole conversation had seemed like a private joke. She could not contribute because she had not even gone to Hogwarts yet! She stood up, and then swinging her fiery locks behind her rushed up the stairs
She sat on her bed, idly reading the latest edition of the quibbler when there was a knock on the door,
"Lily flower?" a timid voice called out, even though she did not reply the door opened on a rather sheepish James.
"What's up? We just got back and you are already sick of us. Eh?" the dark handsome boy coaxed gently,
"It's nothing…" she blinked back the tears threatening to fall, "It's just you keep talking bout Hogwarts, and I have no idea what you are talking about!"
"Oh." he sighed,
"Sorry…" she whispered,
"No Lil, I should be apologising. It must be hard for you stuck here with mum and dad while Al and I are off gallivanting round Hogwarts!" he sympathised. She simply nodded in reply, tears trickling down her cheeks.
A short while later Lily and James returned back down stairs holding hands, they sat down and started to eat again.
"I bet you can't wait to go too Hogwarts Lily!" Albus told her innocently,
"Mmm I think Hogwarts is overrated personally…" James smiled.
Lily returned the smile, and sat up a bit straighter as the conversation moved on to Quiditch. Now that was something she could talk about.
