Someday My Prince Will Come

"Ahhhhhh" Krystal screamed, "Oh my gosh! Lily, look at this!" Krystal handed Lily a magazine with an application for a tour of Europe for 2 months.

" I want to go so badly! Please come with me!" Krystal pleaded.

"Well I don't know if my dad will let me, but I really want to go. I'll have to ask him at the right time," Lily said.

Suddenly a girl opened the compartment door. "What about your dad?"

"Oh, hey Savannah! Lily was just saying that she has to ask her dad at the right time," said an excited Krystal. Seeing the confused look on her friends face she added, "She is going to ask her dad if she can go on a tour of Europe for 2 months."

"I want to come too," Savannah said excitedly. The 3 girls were in a compartment on the train leaving Hogwarts forever. They had finished all 7 years and were on their way home. When they reached the train station, they hugged each other goodbye.

"Ok. I'll owl you two about what my parents say about the tour to Europe," Krystal stated. Lily and Savannah nodded, smiled and said the same thing back. Then Lily heard a familiar voice.

"LILY!" her mother yelled. Lily walked over to her mom and dad and was welcomed with a big hug. " I have great news for you honey, but I will tell you when we get home," her father said.

"WHAT IS IT?" Lily asked excitedly.

"I'll tell you at dinner. It is VERY important," Her father said with a serious look.

"Well, I have something to talk to you about too" Lily said winking at Savannah and Krystal. Her father placed her bags in the car and they left for home.

"Where's Petunia?" Lily asked pretending to be sad.

"Oh, you know her. She refused to come," her mother said. Lily's face lighted up as the car pulled into her driveway. She was home at last. Lily ran in and stormed up the stairs to her room. Just as she reached for the door she heard Petunia.

"Oh, back already freak?" she said with a smirk.

"Yeah, now there are 2 freaks in the house, but at least one of them has a brain," Lily stated smartly. Petunia's smirk wiped off her face as she turned on her heel and left. Lily unpacked and changed out of her school robes. Then she headed downstairs for dinner. The entire family sat down at the table.

"The entire family hasn't sat here together in a long time. It's wonderful to have you back honey. It was never the same without your smile," her mother said as Petunia rolled her eyes.

Then her father began, "Well Lily, I believe that you are mature, correct?"

"Yes father," she said thinking about Europe.

"Well, I was talking to my friend in America and he said he has a son named Eric, who just about your age," her father stated.

'I wonder what this Eric person has got to do with anything.'

"So your mother and I decided that you will marry Eric! Isn't that wonderful news?" her father yelled excitedly.

Lily's voice began to break, " But I don't know him. How could you do this?"

"Well, I know he is a good boy. I have met him. He will keep you happy honey," her mother said calmly.

"BUT I DON'T WANT TO MARRY HIM!" Lily screamed. At this point she was crying rivers.

"YOU WILL! YOU WILL LIKE HIM, AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T, YOU WILL MARRY HIM!" her father yelled. Lily stood up and ran to her room crying. Petunia was trying to hide her laughs. Lily's mother began to stand up to run after Lily, but her father stopped her.

:"NO JULIE! SHE WILL UNDERSTAND!" her father said.

In Lily's room:

"Well all my dreams of true love have vanished" Lily said. She stared out the window wondering if her prince will ever come.


Some day my prince will come
Some day we'll meet again
And away to his castle we'll go
To be happy forever I know
Some day when spring is here
We'll find our love anew
And the birds will sing
And wedding bells will ring
Some day when my dreams come true

After crying almost all day Lily saw that it was of no use. She came downstairs to talk to her father and said, "Dad, I will marry Eric, but I just got out of school and I want to experience life on my own and have fun. I was wondering, could I go on a tour to Europe for 2 months? After that I'll come home and marry Eric." Her father simply smiled.

"I knew you would come around. I love you honey and I want what's best for you." He brought her into a tight hug as a tear trickled down her cheek.
