"Oh, Mew!" She exclaimed "Just get off my foot and go home!" Mew didn't budge. Lily sighed, "Sev, we might have to go back to my house to get this thing off my foot, follow me. We walked to her house, and I reached for the doorknob.

"No!" Lily hissed "Petunia put bells on the door because she thought that burglars were coming in and sealing her My Little Ponies. Really it was me. " I slowly lowered my hand so it wouldn't bump the door. Lily pointed to a large apple tree by the house that looked as If it were in danger of smashing a window. Lily was able to gracefully climb up the tree, open the window and leap inside. When I tried I slipped seven times, the last time I was able to cling onto the windowsill and fall inside.

"Lily is you all right up there?" her mom shouted from downstairs

"Yeah!" she answers quickly "Um, books."

"Oh, do you need any help picking them up?" Even as she said it I could hear Lily's mother coming up the stairs.

"I don't need any help!" she said very quickly although we could still hear her mother coming up the steps. I dove for underneath Lily's bed and from the crack under It I could see Lily spreading books on the floor then stated picking them back up. Her mother came In and started to help her when we heard a scream from the other room,

"BUUUUUUUUUG!" It was Petunia. Typical.

"THERE'S A BUG IN MY ROOM!" Typical. Lily's mother sighed and walked to the other room, I could hear her talking to Petunia

"It's fine you're not going to die, see It's only a little ladybug. Let's go and have a Peef." Once I heard them go downstairs I crawled out from under the bed and looked at Lily

"What, Is a Peef?" I asked knowing that It could be nothing good, as Petunia liked them. Long ago I had decided to be as un-Patunia-ish as possible, which meant no sugar, no dolls, and certainly NO flowers. I was fine with all of that.

"Don't ask." she said answering my Peef question. I looked around,

"So, what now?" I asked trying to sound casual.

"Well, we cou-" she was interrupted by several knocks-that sounded like hammers- on the door. Lily didn't move for she knew that Petunia would get to the door first. We both listened intently because we both knew It was around the time we should be getting our letters.

"Who, are you?" we looked at each other with a look of hope. We ran downstairs, I forgetting that Lily's mother was probably down there, and I would be seen by her. I saw a bit of silver beard In the doorway In front of Lily's mother.

"Professor Dumbledore Sir!" I shouted, and Lily's mother turned around, at first she looked shocked and then…

"Are you Lily's boyfriend?" She asked

Petunia snorted, I looked at Lily.

"Sorry!" she whispered.

"I-er we're-erm, friends we're just friends." All this time there had been a loud banging sound producing from the doorway. I finally looked up to see who It was. It was NOT Dumbledore. It was some old guy with silver-white hair nailing a paper to Lily's open front door. Lily's mother took his nail and hammer and put them on a table next to the door, then picked up the paper from the ground and closed the door In the guy's face, who still seemed to think he had the paper, nail, and hammer. Lily's mother looked at the paper and said,

"Oh, that's unfortunate, Borders Is closing. Anyway let's have some dinner, and- Lily why Is your cat on your foot?"

" GEEZ! GET OFF MY-MEEE!" Mew looked disappointing then, got off her.

"I know I'll go get McDonald's for dinner!" Lily's mother suddenly exclaimed. I leaned over to Lily and asked.

"What is McDonald's?"

" You don' t know what McDonald's Is?" Lily's mother inquired. I felt myself go red then shook my head.

" You poor deprived boy!" She said "Well then, would you like a Big Mac, parfait, hamburger, cheeseburger, apple pie, french fries, Ice cream, McDouble, or anything else?"

"I-uh uh I'll g-get a-a-a-" I stuttered.

"He'll have a Big Mac, apple pie, Coke and french fries, same as me." Lily said quickly, then looking at me she added "but without the french fries"

"All right," Her mother started writing things down "four Big Macs, four apple pies, three french fries, one Happy Meal with a cheeseburger meat, cheese, and bun, four vanilla Ice creams, one chocolate Ice cream, four Cokes, and Petunia wants Sprite, I'll be leaving then, oh Lily make sure your sister doesn't murder herself because I wouldn't let her have another Peef before dinner." Lily nodded and then whispered to me

" I hope she does murder herself." I nodded.
