A/N: Two Chapters in 1 day! I'm on a role! On with the story now! Oh and Italics are Flashbacks
Velvet looked over and said "Well, I've finished with you." With those last words the four of them entered Potter's House and shut the door.
James and Sirius led the girls to the sitting room and flopped down on the sofas. "That looked like a heated argument on his behalf yet you never seemed to raise your voice once." Sirius stated
"That's because she didn't black, she never does." Lily said as she rolled her eyes.
"Unlike you Lily flower! Although I'm intrigued on how you did it, he was right in your face and screaming at you, yet you just spoke to him perfectly civilized. Lily growled slightly at the flower comment, but before she could speak her mind Velvet spoke.
"Why should I even bother to raise my voice when he isn't worth the effort it would take, well that's my opinion anyway, plus he wasn't expecting me to say anything, usually glow says something, but I wasn't having her accused of attacking her sister, when she wouldn't dream of it. They can accuse me of what they like I don't really care." She flicked a strand of hair out of her eyes as she spoke.
"Ha, I'll definitely be dreaming of causing her harm now, after this!"
"Lils, Violence is never the answer…" Velvet grinned at Lily as she told her this.
"Says the girl who knocked out Malfoy, in the middle of Diagon Alley." James and Sirius's mouths dropped open at that. Then they both spluttered
"You knocked out Malfoy!?"
"Yeah, but that's beside the point, I'm teaching you that lesson, it's too late for me to learn it, I'm too old!"
"Stripes, you're the same age as me…" Lily laughed.
"I don't care; you know what years I'm going by Lils!" Lily just shook her head and continued to laugh.
"Why on earth did you knock out Malfoy, I'm not complaining or anything just curious." James questioned.
"Well, it was last summer when I went with Glow to get her stuff for Hogwarts…"
"Come on Glow, it's been ages since I've stretched my legs let's go!"
"Alright, Alright!" Lily placed her book on the table behind her and the girls headed for Diagon Alley; they exited the Leaky Cauldron and made it onto the main street. Velvet twirled around and smiled.
"It feels good to be out and about!"
"I bet it does come on let's go to Florish and Bolts." An hour or so later the girls exited the store and continued to purchased all the of Lily's necessary items, for her sixth year at Hogwarts. Velvet carried most of it to make it easier for Lily to search for what she needed. When Lily went to purchase an owl, Velvet decided to wait outside, with all of their items. She leant against the wall and closed her eyes. Reveling in the freedom she had, a soft sigh escaped her lips as she smiled. Without warning the items in Velvet's arms fell to the floor along with her. She whipped her head around to see the reason for her falling. There behind her stood Lucius Malfoy, smirking at her before offering her hand to the beautiful young woman he had knocked over. She glowered at him as she stood up without his aid. She brushed herself off and began to pick her items up.
"You know, you really should be more careful where you stand." Malfoy mocked.
"Excuse me?"She growled.
"I said that yo-"before he could finish she cut him off.
"I know what you said; I was stood perfectly out of the way, you're the one who knocked me over, but I suppose you aren't man enough to apologise, but then again, all of the male species of Malfoy's are like that." She smiled sweetly at him before looking up to see Lily looking at her curiously. As Velvet brushed passed him she felt him grip her wrist, she motioned for Lily to take her items and then turned to look at him. "Would you remove your hand from my wrist please?" By this time a crowd had gathered around them.
"I don't think I will." He snarled. Velvet raised an eyebrow before repeating what she said.
"Would you remove your hand from my wrist please?"
"I don't think I will, you seem to have passed your judgment on my family already, now why is that?" He squeezed her wrist in an attempt to hurt her, yet he glared at her when it didn't affect her.
"Oh, well, you could say I'm good at reading people, and you Lucius Malfoy are an arsehole so remove your hand from my wrist now." She spoke in a perfectly civil and calm voice. A deathly silence surrounded them. He gripped her wrist even tighter, but was still not having an affect he snarled at her and continued to grip tighter. "Well, you can't say I didn't ask you nicely." She pulled back her free arm clenched her fist and throw a punch at his face. She hit him square in the face and watched as he dropped her hand as he fell to the ground unconscious. Cheers surrounded her. She did a polite curtsey before linking arms with Lily and heading back home.
"Wow, you well and truly knocked him out and left him there!" Sirius stared at her practically drooling. James smacked his chin up.
"Padfoot, get a grip! No drooling on the carpet! I'm not listening to another lecture because of you!" Sirius looked at him in mock hurt and wiped a tear away.
"Prongs! How could you be so cruel!?"
"Honestly Boys! We have guests! It's lovely that you could make it girls, you both look beautiful might I add!" Lisa smiled from the doorway.
"Thanks Lisa, our other plans got cancelled so we decided to take you up on your offer." Lily replied.
"That's a shame Lily, and Uh..Velvet, you know that muggle phone you left with the boys...well, they somehow destroyed it..." Velvet grinned and shrugged her shoulders.
"It doesn't matter, I expected as much, so don't worry about it. I rarely use it."
"Alright then, dinner's ready, come on through!" The four of them followed Lisa through to the dining room. After a few hours filled with laughter the girls stood to leave.
"Thank you for a wonderful meal, we had great fun." Lily smiled
"You're quite welcome girls, it was great having you. It helped to keep the boys in line." Lisa replied. With some soft giggles the girls turned and left, they turned to wave when they noticed the lads grinning at them. The girls playfully winked at them before heading for Lily's door. As they opened the door they threw a last glace towards the Potter's house to see James and Sirius staring at them in shock. Velvet and Lily glanced at each other before heading inside.
"I can't believe I just winked at Potter!" Lily gasped.
"Chill Lils, It'll be fine, he really likes you so just see how it goes." She nodded and began to change.
"I have to say tonight was better than I expected it to be." Velvet giggled.
"Mmm...definately." Lily murmured.
"Mmmm...since when does Lily say 'Mmmmm..' Does miss Lily Evans like a certain Mr J Potter?" She looked quizzically at her and before Lily could deny it, she blushed. Lily picked up a pillow and through it at Velvet.
"Oh, shut up! He's just not as bad as I thought....that's all." Velvet snickered at Lily and dodged another pillow.
With a sigh Velvet dropped down onto the bed next to Lily.
"G'night Glow." She Yawned.
"G'night Stripes." With a stretch of her arms Lily drifted off to sleep, soon followed by Velvet.
