Lily went straight to her room after closing the door. She got out 5 pieces of parchment. She slowly wrote out all of the invitations, one by one. They all pretty much said the same thing…
I'm having a slumber party for all our dorm girls. Its August 17, my birthday. Also, Sophia's mom, Jennifer and my mom have volunteered to take, Sophia and I and anyone of my guests to Diagon Alley for our supplies the day after my birthday. Hope you can come! Also, you can stay till we leave for Hogwarts if you want! Please do!
Lily
She individualized them and she told Snowflake to bring them to April, Hannah, Rachel, Amelia and Sophia. After she did that, Lily went downstairs to the kitchen. She went to the refrigerator and got out some chicken, cheese and some condiments. She made herself a chicken sandwich and sat in the kitchen eating it while she read 'Hogwarts, A History' for the 8th time because it was one of her favorite books. She finished her sandwich and cleaned up the mess she made. Lily finished cleaning up and went upstairs to her room. Lily entered her room and sat on her bed. "There's nothing to do," she mumbled as she stared at her ceiling. Lily got up and went to her bookcase. "When was the last time I actually organized this thing," Lily asked herself. She slowly took out everything and started to sort it all out. She had a few piles. One pile had some of her old picture books and coloring books. Another one had all of her old magic textbooks. She had a group of pictures and albums. Lily took about 3 hours sorting it all, washing her bookcase with soap and water and putting everything back in an organized fashion. Lily was putting the last picture back when the doorbell rang. She ran downstairs and opened the door where Petunia and her Mother stood.
"Hi, Lily," Danielle said as she put the groceries she was holding down on the table. "So what did you do while we were out?"
"Nothing really. I sorted my bookcase, finally. Can you take me to the donation center to donate some of my old picture books?"
"Who would want a book that belonged to you," Petunia sneered as she put some apples and bananas into the fruit bowl. "Than again, who would want anything that belonged to you."
"I happen to remember someone older than me who wanted to play with my new doll house," Lily smirked as she put the peanut butter, grape jelly, maple syrup and mustard into the refrigerator.
"That was before you were a freak with powers!"
"I've always had powers," Lily stated as she and Petunia finished putting the groceries.
"Well I bet with all of the powers in the world, you couldn't get one guy. I have and I'm going to be happily married in 4 months," Petunia said as she looked at her 45-carrot diamond engagement ring that rested on her bony ring finger.
"Yeah, to Vernon Durlsey, a fat pig," Lily shot back. Petunia glared at Lily and she glared back.
"Girls. Please," Danielle finally said as her two daughters glared at each other. "Lily, do not insult your sisters fiancée and Petunia, do not call your sister a freak."
"Okay, Mum." Lily replied as she sat in one of the kitchen chairs. Petunia just nodded and left the kitchen. "Mum, why do I have to be nice to her? She's not nice to me."
"Lily Rose Evans, I did not raise you to make fun of your older sister. Granted her fiancée is a tad obese, but I have raised you to be a lady," Danielle said to her youngest daughter.
"I know I was. Can we go to the donation center now? Also, remember I volunteered to play with kids for the afternoon today at the center for orphans," Lily asked her mother.
"Okay, let me get my purse and keys. Get your shoes on," Danielle told her daughter as she left the kitchen. Lily ran upstairs and chose her pink high tops.
"These will go nicely with the hip-hugger jeans and the pink T-shirt I'm wearing,' Lily said to herself as she slipped the shoes on. She grabbed the pile of books off of her floor and walked out of the room. Lily went down the stairs and met her mother at the door.
"Petunia, Lily and I are going out for a little bit," Danielle yelled.
"Whatever," Petunia shouted back as she started to paint her nails a pinkish color in her room. Danielle and Lily exited the house and headed to Danielle's minivan. They got in and drove about 6 miles. When they got into the donation center, they went to the main lobby.
"Hello, Danielle," the young women behind the counter said. She was one of Lily's mother's friends, Gretchen. She had chestnut brown hair and the brightest brown eyes.
"Hi, Gretchen. You remember my youngest daughter Lily. She's going to be 17 in about 3 weeks."
"She's only going to be 17. She looks like she's turning 27," Gretchen joked with Danielle.
"Gretchen. Please I don't need hear that," Danielle stated as she put Lily's books on the counter. "She is donating these 13 books."
"Wow, they are all in mint condition. I'm sure the kids will love these," Gretchen stated as she flipped her long hair off of her shoulder.
"Mum, I'm going to be late." Lily said as she glanced at the clock on the wall.
"Oh, you're right. Talk to you later, Gretchen," Lily's mother stated as she ushered Lily out the door. They climbed into the car and drove for about 20 minutes until they reached the center. It was a very large house basically. It had about 20 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, a very large kitchen, a TV room, a cement playground with swings, a slide, monkey bars and a few basketball hoops. The house had a red tint to it and had a blue door. "Lily, call me when you're finished, okay?"
"Yep, bye, mum," Lily said as she climbed out of the car and ran to the front door. She walked to the front desk. The old women at the desk smiled.
"Hello, Lily. I'm glad you remembered." The old lady said.
"How can I forget this," Lily replied as Agatha, the old lady, gave Lily a pin and told her to go to the door on the left to find the little kids. Lily thanked Agatha and went into the room.
"Lily!" a bunch of little voices squealed. Lily smiled as 3 girls little came running over to her. Their names were Olivia, Maria and Wendy. They were all about 4 or 5. Olivia had curly, blonde ringlets. Maria had jet-black hair that was as straight as a ruler and Wendy had strawberry blonde hair that was in a ponytail.
"My little fan club," Lily laughed as the 3 girls surrounded her. They all had a doll with them and an extra one for Lily.
"We're playing Dolls," Olivia stated matter-of-factly. So Lily played dolls with the girls until about 3.
"I'm going to go and see a couple of my friends, okay?" Lily said as she handed the doll back to Wendy.
"You'd better say bye before you leave, missy," Maria said in a cute little voice.
"I will," Lily said as she stood up and went to the TV room where she found her 13-year-old friend, Monica reading a book. "Hey."
"Lily? Oh my gosh, I like so need to talk to you," Monica stated as she stood up.
"Okay, about what?"
"Not here," Monica said as she glanced to a 14-year-old boy named Greg that was a few feet away from them.
"Okay," Lily said as Monica took Lily to the swings that were outside.
"Listen, you know that kid I looked at before we left the room?"
"Yeah, Greg," Lily said as she sat on a swing.
"Well, I really, really like him. I have for since December," Monica said as she started to swing on the swing next to Lily.
"I see," nodded Lily.
"Well, on New Years, I saw him talking with Mike, Jerry and Thomas, his buddies and they were looking at me while I was with Patty. He and I made direct eye contact and he smiled for like a second. His brown hair was shining from the lights and his brown eye were glow."
"He probably likes you." Both girls had stopped swinging and were just sitting there.
"You think?"
"Yeah, listen. Isn't tonight the movie night for the 13 and older?"
"Yeah… We are watching Outsiders. It's a movie Agatha's daughter brought from America."
"I've seen that one. It has some surprising scenes. Site next to him and tense up a little. See if he does anything," Lily said as she stood up and looked at her watch. "Wow, its 4 already."
"I'll do that. And I'll tell you all about, if anything happens, when you come again next week." Monica said.
"Okay," Lily said as she gave the teen a hug. She walked with Monica until they reached the TV room. "I'm going to go see how my little 'club' is," Lily said as she walked into the other room. Olivia came running to Lily.
"Are you leaving?"
"Nope, I'm staying here to play with you girls."
"Yay!" Maria squealed as she ran over with Wendy.
"Lily?" a voice said from the door. Lily turned around and her eyes went wide open.
