"Lily! Lily! Get up! I don't have all day."
This had been going on for the past summer and was the same case on this typical Saturday morning. She had, yet again, woken up to Petunia screeching at the top of her lungs on this particularly dreadful morning.
"Okay! I'm up!" Lily shouted back at Petunia.
She got up and headed into the bathroom. Looking into the mirror, Lily groaned. Her long, wavy auburn hair looked like a bird's nest. Picking up a comb, Lily carefully combed her hair down before brushing her teeth and putting on dark skinny jeans with a creamy peasant top that came down to her elbows. She headed down the stairs only to find Petunia waiting for her there. She never waited for her anymore, why was she waiting now?
"I'm going to the park with my friends, and Vernon will be coming by later. You better be gone by then, Freak." Petunia said sharply before turning on her heel and walking away swiftly without waiting for a reply.
"So that's why she was waiting, not like I'm worth her time to even say hi." Lily muttered under her breath.
Lily stormed into the kitchen and made her breakfast, fuming. Ever since she got her Hogwarts letter, Petunia and she had a rocky relationship. When she decided to go, and boarded the train to Hogwarts something in Petunia seemed to have snapped just like a twig and with that, their relationship. Lily knew Petunia had been jealous because she had seen a letter from Professor Dumbledore, when Severus and her were snooping in Tuny's room, stating kindly that she couldn't come to Hogwarts because she was a muggle. Obviously, Petunia hadn't taken kindly to that. She hated it when she wasn't the best out of the two of them. She always had to be the best. Lily just didn't understand why Tuny couldn't accept that she was a witch, not her, and just GET OVER IT!
'I guess I'll never know.' Lily thought, sighing.
She plopped into a chair at the breakfast table, munching at her breakfast, thinking of anything and everything. She would have to leave the house soon and she didn't have any chores to do outside. She had no clue where to go.
'Maybe I'll go to the mall and just roam around... but than I would have to go by myself. Nope, I am not going by myself.'
Alice had been staying at her boyfriend's, Frank Longbottom's, house for the summer and Lily knew that Alice would hate if her vacation with Frank was distrubed, so that was out of option. Her other friend, Iris, had gone to Europe with her family, so she couldn't go to Iris's either. After the fallout with Severus Snape, this summer had been ten times worse than any other for Lily. She ended staying inside at home more, giving Petunia many chances to insult Lily.
Not long after Lily had finished her breakfast and was putting it in the sink, she heard a tapping sound coming from outside the kitchen window. She glanced out and saw a large tawny owl waiting with a Hogwarts letter in its mouth. Lily let a gleeful smile slip onto her face and taking the letter from the owl's beak. She watched the owl glide away before turning to her letter.
The letter was crisp and neat, although a little yellowed. It had the Hogwarts crest on the top showing all four houses, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Gryffindor. Lily was in Gryffindor the brave. Slytherin and Gryffindor have had a huge rivalry for as long as you can think off and had many competitions to see which one of them was better than the other. Although they do all kinds of things to each other to prove that they're superior, Gryffindor always plays fair and never inflicted any actual harm. Whereas in Slytherin, all they did was cheat and lie, doing everything in their power to hurt others physically and mentally. Severus Snape was in Slytherin, and Lily couldn't count how many times her friends had warned her to watch out for him. Being Lily, she had defended him every time to find that he stabbed her in the back and didn't value their friendship at all. No, she didn't hate him, but she certainly didn't like him.
Lily focused her attention back on what was inside the letter. She slowly picked it up, hoping she got what she had been working so hard for.
Okay, I know this chapter wasn't that long, and I'm really sorry, but I wanted to write the next part in Lily's POV.
I also wrote about the houses, because I realized that some people who don't read Harry Potter read these and I thought they should know about houses and their rivalries before I go deeper into the story. After all, it does play a big part in Lily's story.
PLEASE REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW!
