"I guess I'll see you," James said to Lily as they were standing on the Platform. Kali's parents dragged her away because she had to get ready for her sister's wedding, which was the next day.
"Yeah. I'm going to miss you James," she said as she hugged him.
"Me too," he said under his breath.
"Where are your parents?'
"Oh, my sister is picking me up," he said quietly," What about you?"
"I'm not sure. I thought I was going with Kali, but apparently not. So-"
"Hurry up freak," said a shrill voice.
"Nice to see you too Petunia," Lily said as she gathered her stuff together.
"Lily, wait. Here, take this," James said handing her a letter.
"What's this?"
"Just read it later, okay?" he said
"Yeah, sure," she said as she stuffed it in her pocket and turned around.
She quickly gathered her things together, and followed her sister to the car.
"Why are you picking me up?"
"Because I am a nice sister," she said sarcastically.
"Seriously, why?"
"Because I got a letter saying I had to," Petunia said as she shut the trunk door of her car," Now get in the car."
Lily did as she was told. She didn't want to get on the bad side of her sister, otherwise Petunia wouldn't drive her to the airport the next morning.
"Where's Vernon?"
"Business trip. So, when he gets back tonight, you better not-"
"I know, I know. You don't have to tell me this every time I come to your house," Lily insisted. Lily was used to this. Every time she went to her sister's, she was told the same thing over and over again. Don't get on the wrong side of Vernon, her brother –in –law. Vernon hated Lily, and always treated her with disgust.
~James~
"So, was McGonagall tough on you?" James' sister asked him in the car on the way to her house. His parents were away on a trip, and they didn't trust him to stay alone in their manor due to prior trips.
"Not this year."
"That's good," his sister said softly. They didn't talk much because of such a big age difference. Anna eleven years older than James, so they rarely had something in common with each other.
"Dumbledore sent some books for you," James said as he looked out the window.
"Oh I'll have to send him a letter."
"Yeah," he said in a far voice.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, why?"
'You just seem so distant. Are you sure nothing's wrong?" she asked him
"Since when did you ever care?" he asked rudely.
"Well, I happen to be your sister. And I can tell when something is wrong because you get that weird look in your eyes. Is it possibly a girl?" she teased.
"No," he said as he got out of the car when they arrived at her house.
~Lily~
"So, what do you want to eat?" Petunia asked. The year before, Lily came to the conclusion that Petunia wasn't that bad, she was only rude to her when Vernon was around.
"Nothing really. I think I'm going to go pack, and I'll make something later," Lily called from upstairs.
"Okay."
Lily pulled her stuff in front of a locked door. She took the key Petunia gave her, and opened it. Inside was all of her stuff. She used the room as if it were storage. When her parents died, their house was sold, as well as a few of the less meaningful items, so Lily had to store all of her things at Petunia's house in the smallest room they didn't use.
She dragged her trunk into the room, and put her owl's cage on the floor. She took a few of the boxes down from the tower they had made, and started to seal them shut with tape. She was giving all of her furniture to Petunia, so all she had left were a few boxes with clothes and other items in them. Once she had all the boxes sealed, she carried them down and put them into Petunia's car so she wouldn't forget them in the morning. She then went back up to the room and emptied her trunk.
"Lily, eat something. I've made a big dinner, and-"
"I'm not hungry. I need to finish packing before tomorrow."
"What time is your flight then?" Petunia asked as she helped Lily.
"Let me check," Lily said pulling out some papers. She opened the envelope, and stared with wide eyes at them.
"What?" Petunia asked as she looked over her sister's shoulder.
"My plane leaves in three hours!!" Lily shrieked.
"Well hurry up then!" Petunia yelled. They quickly took all her clothes from the boxes and shoved them in the trunk. She gathered all her things in record time, put them in the car, and they left.
~James~
"He won't talk to me. How 'bout you?" his sister whispered into her boyfriend's ear.
"Fine, I'll go talk to him," he said," James, what's going on?"
"Nothing really, Ryan."
"Something wrong?"
"Nope."
~Lily~
"Have everything?"
"Yeah. I'll see you then," Lily said as she hugged her sister.
"Yeah. Bye," Petunia waved after her as she got on the plane.
When Lily got onto the plane, she hurriedly got to her seat. She was glad because she got to sit next to the window, and she was also flying first- class, so she would be very comfortable. She looked out the window, put her hands in her jacket pockets, and started to think. After feeling around a little bit, she found a folded piece of parchment in her pocket. She took it out and realized it was the letter James had given her. She opened it and began to read it.
"I guess I'll see you," James said to Lily as they were standing on the Platform. Kali's parents dragged her away because she had to get ready for her sister's wedding, which was the next day.
