Lily's POV
I walked into the Great Hall. Figures. Sirius was already stuffing his face with food. I sat next to Marlene. "That's disgusting Sirius" I said as he chewed with his mouth wide open. He opened his mouth even wider so I could see all the food he had stuffed into his mouth. James then sat down next to me. "Padfoot, that is nasty." Sirius sniffled ,feigning hurt." Well Prongs. I now know where your allegiance lies." I started laughing at his theatrics. Just then, the owls flew over signaling post time.
It surprised me when my owl dropped two letters in front of me. I rarely get post. Petunia never really wrote often. When she did, the letter would be condescending and I would be called "Freak" one or twice. The first letter looked fancy judging by the envelope. I opened up the letter. It was typed and the borders were decorated. It wasn't a letter. It was an invitation.
Lily,
You are invited to the wedding of Vernon Dursley and Petunia Evans. The wedding will be held on April 23.
What was Petunia thinking? She was getting married to that walrus? Vernon wasn't even handsome . I opened the second letter. It was written on simple paper.
Lily,
Listen Freak. The only reason you were invited was because Mom and Dad forced me to. You better not mess up my wedding with your nonsense. No magic at all! I haven'to told Vernon's family about your abnormal behaviors. I've told them you have gone to a school for the misbehaved. You may bring one guest, but he/she must behave also. No funny business whatsoever.
Sincerely,
Petunia
Of course. She goes out and says that her sister is "misbehaved". That I am not as perfect and normal as she is. That I am a freak.
"Lily, are you okay? You seem a bit distant." James' voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I must have stared off into space. "I'm fine. It's just that my sister is getting married to a walrus. His name is Vernon and he isn't even nice. " Sirius jumped into the conversation. "It's legal to get married to a walrus?" I laughed. "No Sirius, Vernon is a man. A really fat man."
James and I walked back to the Head dorm after breakfast to get our books. "I take it that you aren't close to your sister." "We used to be close. The closest two siblings could ever be. When I got my letter, everything changed. She's been cold to me ever since. She calls me a freak. She hates magic and everybody who uses magic. She hates me. When Vernon found out about me, he'd been colder to me if that was even possible." I stopped myself. I was rambling on and on about my problems, yet I was comfortable telling everything to James. " Red, she is jealous. And who in their right minds gets married to a man whose name sounds like vermin." I chuckled.
After we got our books, we headed over to potions. I sat next to Marlene as I always do. Professor Slughorn came in. "Now we are going to partner up. Find yourself one now."Hey Marls, do you-" I turned around. She was gone. She'd partner herself with Sirius. I walked over to James. " Do you have a partner yet?" "No. Here," he moved his book over. I sat down. Slughorn called us to pay attention. " We are going to make the most powerful love potion. Who knows what it is called?" He scanned around the room. "Mr. Black?" Sirius thought for a second. It was obvious he wasn't paying attention. "Um. Amortentia?" Slughorn nodded in approval. "Excellent. 10 points to Gryffindor. Sirius put his feet on the table and leaned back in success. "Class, I have made a sample today. Let's go smell it." We all went up and smelled it. "Mr. Potter, what do you smell?" "I think I smell... chocolate, strawberries,and I think I smell a carnation." Carnations are my favorite flowers. Hope sprung inside me. "And you Ms. Evans?" I inhaled. "I smell pine trees, cinnamon, and um caramel." I realized I smelled James. And so did Melody Hughes. Melody was the leader of the James Potter club. You could describe her as a stalker. In the corner of my eyes, I saw her looking at me suspiciously. Oh Merlin.
