LOVERS' LANE by SunshineChick
"Sing! Sing a song! Loud and clear! For everyone to hear!"
"Let the joyful song make a home in your heart!" hummed Lily sweetly. She was sitting on the water's edge, with her shoes off letting the waves splash her feet. Lily ran her fingers through her hair, taking in the sweet morning breeze as it swept across her face. She smiled a bit, watching the waves crash into the shore as if it were trying to start an earthquake. This was Lily's get away during the summer. She was tired of Petunia's hurtful words, and Daisy's and Maple's nonstop curiosity of the magical world. Why Petunia hated magic she didn't know, but she would give anything to stop being called a 'freak'. Even though she didn't cry, Lily did feel hurt. Her life was like a big maze and she kept getting stuck along the way. No matter where she went she was cornered. At home it was Petunia, at Hogwarts it was James. James … he was like a stalker or something. Lily sighed deeply and decided to go home.
As she walked past the beach and entered town, she was filled with sweet memories of grade school. Before she was named a total weirdo. Lily's eyes darted to something taking place on Grand Street. Matthew a former class mate and his cronies were reeking havoc. A tall, thin woman, with pursed lips walked by with slight curiosity. Then Lily saw something she would have rather not seen. Matthew, he was obviously the ring leader, tiptoed up to the woman and slapped her butt.
"Nice." he whooped. The woman gave him a harassed look and slapped him across the face. But he didn't seem to care. "Call me!" he yelled after her. Lily was strongly reminded of James, except James would have already started making out, by then. He made her sick to the stomach. But she was ready for it, having been prefect in her fifth year Lily knew just what to say.
"Excuse me Matthew, but that really WAS unacceptable!" She barked sharply. She was going to make Matthew wish she had never gone to Hogwarts. But considering everything, he probably already wished that.
Matthew turned in surprise. His face cut into a smirk when he saw who it was. While Lily was in grade school she did quite a job at getting the boys into trouble. "It's Evans, boys. The girl who thinks she's soo special, cause she goes to a freak show of a school." He was just daring her to bring her wand out.
"It's not a freak show, it's a school for the magic."
"I'm magic why didn't I get in."
"Maybe because you were too busy being a jerk to get into a school as great as Hogwarts." right when she said that Lily wondered how James got in. Probably charmed his way in, she thought remembering how all the girls fall head over heels for him. Personally she thought he was the most inconsiderate little berk ever.
"Great huh? If it's soo great why do most people who come from schools like that die?"
Lily snorted indignantly. "Has Petunia been feeding you lies again? I thought I had persuaded her to quit it."
Matthew smirk grew bigger. "Seems your not as persuasive as you thought. We all know you can't use your magic outside of school."
It was Lily's turn to smirk. "Who's to say that when I'm at school I can't use my magic to hurt you."
A plump boy pushed his way through the surrounding crowd and gave Lily a disbelieving look. "You couldn't hurt us, you'd be miles away."
Lily looked at the boy for a long while. She seemed to recognize him. "Hey aren't you Petunia's boyfriend?"
The boy looked a little taken aback. "Why yes … yes I am." He puffed his chest up proudly.
"Well I guess I have to tell Petunia she won't have a boyfriend for much longer." She smirked and then left. Leaving a scared and confused silence behind her.
Lily whistled as she went. Well that's how each day went by in her life. Tell a couple lies, scare some people, and then go home to answer boring questions from her sisters

Lily was watching the Proud Family on the Disney Channel with her little sisters Maple and Daisy. Maple kept protesting that she'd rather watch Barney. Lily and Daisy ignored her. It was way past Maple's bedtime, but Lily let her stay up. Now she was beginning to regret it. Maple jumped onto Lily's back as soon as the show had finished.
"I wanna hear more magic stories. Then I want you to make Barney real! Barney, Barney, Barney!"
Lily threw Maple off her back. "I'll only tell you stories of Hogwarts if you both get into bed, pronto." Maple and Daisy scurried up onto their beds, their faces glowing with anticipation. Lily couldn't help but grin. She hoped one of them got into Hogwarts or they'd be crushed. "Did I ever tell you the story of James Potter, yet?" They shook their little heads eagerly. "Well he is the most disgusting and show-offy boy ever…"
After she had gotten them to bed and given them both good night kisses, she left their room and went back to the on she shared with Petunia. And to her surprise, Petunia lay on HER bed naked, with … with her boyfriend. Eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww! Lily just stood there at the doorway, she felt like she was going to faint. Petunia opened one of her blue eyes and screamed.
"L-Lily! Get out!"
Lily put her hands on her hips. "Excuse me, but this happens to be one-half my room and I would appreciate it if you wouldn't do IT on my bed!"
Petunia gave Lily a stern look. "Can't you give me a break for once?!"
Lily threw Petunia a disgusted look. She walked up to Petunia's boyfriend and poked him hard.
"Hey you big oaf get off my bed before I alert my parents!"
"No! Please Lily!"
"What have you ever done for me Petunia! All my life I've been put down. And when I start Hogwarts I'm referred to as the 'freak'! I'm sick of it! I'm sick of you!"
Across the hall the door was slightly ajar and Mrs.Evans watched the pair yelling. She sighed heavily. Of course she was going to side with Lily. She was certain that if Lily thought it was wrong, it was wrong. Petunia was probably having an uninvited guest over. Mrs.Evans tip-toed out of the room not wanting to stir her husband. "Lily dear why so late at night?"
Lily huffed. "Petunia here was having you-know-what with you-know-who." Mrs.Evans glanced inside the room to see a naked Petunia, next to a shocked, naked boy.
"Vernon, honey. Who gave you permission to do anything with my daughter?"
The porky boy, opened his mouth to explain, but Lily butted in. "Shut-up! You have no explaination!"
Mrs.Evans put a comforting hand on Lily. "Go wait in the family room. And as for YOU, put on your clothes and get out of my house." Vernon waited until Mrs.Evans had slammed the door to get out of the comforter. "And Petunia I want to talk with you!" shouted Mrs.Evans. She strolled into the family room and stayed with Lily waiting for Petunia to come out. The familiar sound of the alarm beeping, came as Vernon opened the closed the front door.
"Mom! I can't believe you! You never let me do anything, but Lily comes and goes as she pleases!"
"That's not true! Mom would never let me have sex. Not that I'd want to."
"Mom I'm seventeen I should be old enough to make my own decisions."
"Not until you're eighteen, your not."
Lily stuck her tongue out at Petunia. Petunia kicked her hard. Lily kicked her back. They got into a fight pulling each other's hair and biting. "Girls! Girls! Stop it!" ordered Mrs.Evans,
breaking them apart. Petunia came out with a bloody nose and Lily with a sore lip. "I want you to settle this in a civilized way!"
The two girls sat staring at each other. Neither was going to admit defeat first. And so it was a long, long night. Mrs.Evans took to yelling at Lily for letting Maple and Daisy stay up too late, and Petunia for disobeying her and having sex anyways. Lily and Petunia were both grounded and sent off to bed.
"I'm not going in my bed! Did you see what she did in it?"
Mrs. Evans blinked, trying to keep herself awake. "Just deal with it Lily."
"Sing! Sing a song! Loud and clear! For everyone to hear!"
"Let the joyful song make a home in your heart!" hummed Lily sweetly. She was sitting on the water's edge, with her shoes off letting the waves splash her feet.
