I was sitting in my room when the argument downstairs began.
'Mum you can't stop me!'
'Yes I can and I will! You are not getting married in November you're too young! Can't you wait till next year?'
'Summer holidays next year? When Lily can be there? Yet me tell you Mum, I don't want a FREAK like her at MY wedding! I am getting married on the set date in two months time and thats that!'
I groaned. This was the third time in the past hour that Mum and Petunia had been at each others throats over Petunia's wedding. Mum wants me there and Petunia doesn't want me anywhere near it. So mum won't let her get married till I can come. To tell you the truth I don't want to go but I'm not going to be the one to tell Mum that!
While still trying to ignore the argument, I started to pack my trunk for school. I go to hogwarts and term starts in 3 days. I grabbed one of my books when I heard a tapping at my window. I turned to see an owl with a letter. I let it in took the letter off it and watched it turn around and fly off.
I looked at the letter in my hands. Did it contain prof of want I had hoped for since first year? Was I Head Girl? Well I wasn't going to find out unless I opened it. Slowly I pulled the envelope apart then watched as the head girl badge fell to the floor. I picked it up and yelled
'Yes I got it!'
My door opened and Petunia stuck her head into my room.
'Got what?'
'Head Girl' I answered.
'Oh so now you are Head Freak? Right Freak?'
'Petunia I am a witch not a freak.' I retorted
'Same thing. But don't tell Mum and Dad!'
'Why not?'
'Cause they'll be over the moon about it!'
'Great!'
I ran downstairs to tell my parents. Petunia was right, they were over the moon about it and wanted to throw a party. I manged to talk them out of that but they still wanted to celebrate, so mum cooked my favourite food for dinner. This was the last straw for Petunia who stormed out of the house saying not to expect her back for a week! Needless to say I slipped upstairs while Mum and Petunia fought AGAIN!!!
As I ran up the stairs I wondered who had gotten Head Boy.
'Oh I hope it's not Potter' I said aloud.
Potter and his friends Black, and Pettigrew are the Marauders, along with a guy called Remus they are the school's biggest trouble makers. Out of the group only Remus is bearable. And he did make perfect. So maybe he will be Head Boy. God I hope so.
As i walked into my room I noticed a brown spotted owl flapping around the room.. As soon as it saw me it flapped down to me and held out it's leg so I could take the letter. I looked at the envelope and recognised the handwriting as Pippa's(my best friend)
Dear Lily
How are you? I am fine. I was just wondering if you would like to go to Diagon Alley with me in two days time (can't go tomorrow family coming over!)? If so send a reply with Spot (the owl). Chloe can't come, cause she has to go tomorrow. Her muggle friends are taking her to the 'movies' what ever the hell that is! Any way got to go (stupid cousins can't they come tomorrow? And no Remus isn't here he's not coming something about James and getting together.)
See ya sometime
Pippa
I looked up at the owl and called down to mum
'Can I go to Diagon Alley with Pippa in two days time?'
'Sure, why not?'
'Cool, thanks Mum!'
'Why don't you stay the night with Pippa? Then she can take you to Kings Cross.'
'I'll ask!'
I grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill and wrote
Dear Pippa
Yes I can go to Diagon Alley with you. In fact Mum suggested that I stay the night with you and go with you to Kings Cross! Ask your parents if it's okay and yet me know.
Everything is okay here except for the fact that Mum and Petunia are at each others throats over the wedding. All because Petunia doesn't want me there! And to tell the truth I don't want to come! But I can't tell Mum that she'll kill me! Any way i had better go to bed or Mum might not let me come. I can hear her and Petunia at it again!
See you soon
Lily
I called down the owl who was still flying round my room and attached my reply to him. As soon as it was on he flew out the window almost hitting the side of it. I laughed and got ready for bed. Smiling to myself I started to drowse off to sleep.
