Chapter 1

Lily POV

It was only two days before I got to go back to Hogwarts. Only two more days until I could get away from Tuney. Only two more days until my life would become a fantasy again.

Thinking of this I came into the dining room with a hop in my step.

My mood was quickly dampened when I remembered Vernon, Tuneys dreadful boyfriend, would be coming over for dinner, Oh yay.

'When is Vernon coming Loony Tunes?' I asked.

'DON'T CALL ME THAT' she said seething.

Oops. I used to call her that when we were little, and occasionally still do now. It only started bothering her after I got my letter.

I knew she was about to blow up so I kept quite.

'Don't make me angry! You know what happens when you get angry? You get stressed. You know what happens when you get stressed? You get acne. You know what happens when you get acne? It ruinsmy perfect complexion, thus ruining my perfect beauty. And Lilykins you really shouldn't be doing that when company is about to come, no should you?' She huffed and continued cooking.

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking 'Wow! She's got the best sister ever! She's so nice and caring and understands you when you make mistakes! Oh I'm so jealous!'

Ok now I know what you actually thinking. Really, Sev taught me a lot about occlumency. So you're thinking 'This girl must be a nutter! Tuney sounds like an awful sister!' Yep, unfortunately, the ladder is correct.

I was completely lost in thought when tuney yelled,

'For the last time you freak set the table! Vernon will be here any moment!'

I wearily got up and set the table. For three.

Mum and dad were visiting some cousins who lived in France.

That meant I got to have dinner with Tuney and Vernon.

I was so excited I could hardly contain myself.

When Vernon arrived Tuney told me to get the door.

When I saw his fat whale face it was really difficult not to slam the door in his face.

The only reason I was even here, and not at Sevs was because mum had put her in charge, being the older one, and she never let me out of the house. I usually snuck out but she noticed if I wasn't at dinner. I grudgingly sat down and plastered a fake smile on my face.

I could not wait to be back at Hogwarts with Alice, Marlene, Marigold and all of my other friends.

Plus we get to go to Hogsmeade this year!

And yet with all this fun less than 48 hours away, I was sitting here with Loony Tunes and the whale she fancies.

I was so relieved when Tuney dismissed me. They decided to watch a movie. Garry Totter or something. Rubbish in my opinion.

I went upstairs to my maroon and gold room (That Tuney despised. Said it was all from the 'Freak school') and fell asleep dreaming of Hogwarts.
