Hey fans! Thanks for those 3 reviews in the first half hour my story was posted. I have to say I was quite impressed. I'm sorry that there were some typos in it though... It was mostly the same problem I was having in the earlier chapters with writing Mr. pettigrew, but this time it doesn't show up if I write miss. Evans; the computer puts 's instead also the words professor mcgronagal didn't show up in some of my sentences. It's so weird...
Now without further delay here's the next chapter of Pictures of Lily (OMG did you know that Pictures of Lily is a song by The Who! its pretty good! check it out)
Lily bent over the floor to retrieve the hair brush that she had just chucked across the bathroom and hit Moaning Myrtle square in the head. The incredibly annoying ghost continuously popped in to create more mayhem around the girls bathroom like spilling mascara, pouring perfume down the drain, and tampering with the temperture of the water. She also had a nasty habbit of stealing the towels, which she was about to do once again, but Lily had caught her in the act.
"Lily was that my brush you just threw?" Paige said sticking her head out of the glass door of the shower, droplets of water dribbling off her chin length choppy bleach blonde hair.
"Would you like a towel or not?" Lily raised her voice slightly. It was 7 o'clock Monday Morning, the morning before most of the students would pile back onto the Hogwarts Express to go home for Christmas Holiday, and of course they were running late. The train was scheduled to leave at 8. Lily and Mary were helping Paige, Brooke, and Nicole pack their trunks for the next two weeks away from school. Lily had decided to stay at school for the holiday instead of fighting with Petunia and her boyfriend. Clothes and make-up, and shoes, and accessories were flying every where. The girls were grateful for the fact that they were all of age and could use magic to help pack, making everything a lot easier! Mary clicked Brooke's trunk clothes as Brooke buttoned up her white peacoat and looked happily at the her reflection in the mirror, fixing her hat just slightly. Lily could tell that she wanted to look perfect for her muggle boyfriend, Ryan, who was picking her up at Kings Cross.
"You look great Brookie." remarked Lily, who was casting Wingardium Leviosa on the Nicole and Brooke's trunks so that they would levitate down the stairs by themselves. Nicole's nose was buried in her book, she was always ready first and Paige had finally emerged from the shower, cast Accio to get the outfit that Mary forced her to lay out the previous night, (Paige was always late) and then muttered a spell that would cause the clothes to dress her with out her even having to move. In no time at all she was standing there in a glamorous pink and black ensemble complete with the gloves.
We halled her several pieces of luggage down the winding stair case and when all the luggage from the Seventh Year Girl's Dormitory were dumped in the common room, there was a loud pop, and it all disappeared.
"House Elves." muttered Nicole, putting her book in the bag she was bringing with her on the train.
Suddenly there was loud banging coming down the stair case and Peter Pettigrew tumbled out into the room with his trunk exploding and dirty clothes flying everywhere. The Mauraders stomped down after him howling with hysterical laughter.
"Let's go," whispered Brooke leading the girls out through the common room. Lily didn't dare interupt, she was in no hurry to see either James or Severus after what had happened, but luckily Severus was visiting his grandmother over break.
The five of them walked outside into the snowy air, and made their way do the carriages that magically pulled themselves along the path to the train. The girls piled in, Lily and Mary only going to the platform to say goodbye.
"Well," Paige said ruffling through her purse when she step onto the wooden station, the Hogwarts Express was puffing out smoke and the whistle was blowing loudly
"I guess this is goodbye for now! Oh! goodbyes make me so emotional! Even if its just for a little while." She blew her nose in a hot pink tissue that she had fished out of her purse and batted her eyes, careful not to smear her make-up.
"Goodbye! Lily! Goodbye Mary!" Paige cried giving them a tight hug each.
"See ya guys after holiday." Nicole said next, also hugging them.
"Bye Fairy- Mary! See you soon Lily Flower!" beamed Brooke, giggling slightly at the nicknames she had given them during first year. "I promise I'll write to you two, and I'll- oh no!" A gust of wind had knocked her lilac colored hat of her head, senting her her normally perfect gold hair to stick to her face.
"I'll get it!" shouted Lily setting off after the hat that was tumbling in the wind along the ground. There were legs everywhere, and she knew she was getting in the way. Finally when she did manage to retreive the hat, she lost her balence and crashed into someone in front of her, hard.
"Watch where you're going! You filthy little mudblood." scolded a cold, but familier voice. Lily glanced up quickly through strands of her hair that had gotten in the way, and realized she was staring straight into the eyes of Severus Snape.
"Lily!" he gasped, "Lily I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it! I didn't know it was you!" He reached an arm out, but Lily scrambled to her feet, the scar on her chest throbbing.
"Never. Talk. To. Me. Again. Snape!" She said through her teeth, spun on heal and ran away, anger boiling inside of her.
"Lily! Lily! I'm sorry!"
"No! Don't tell me your sorry! You're always making excuses! You don't care about me! No one gets why I hang out with you! You call everyone of my blood status mudblood. Why am I any different! Don't you dare tell me you're in love with me, because your obviously not! So just go away Snape."
"Lily no!
"Bye guys, Merry Christmas, I'll see you soon." Lily said sadly to her friends.
"ALL A BOARD!" announced the conducter and the remaining students entered the train.
Lily sat in the carriage with Mary, praying it would move. Severus was still calling after her.
"Leave her alone Sour Grape!" shouted Remus
"Yeah! Butt Trumpet! Back off!" Sirius said climbing into the carraige.
"Seriously Snivellus, she said to never talk to you again. So get your effing ass into the train and leave her alone." James said coming to her aid. The carraige pulled away and down the path, and the Hogwarts Express's whistle blew for the last time. 'Severus didn't even try...' thought Lily.
"Lily... are you okay?" asked Mary sweetly.
"Yeah, I am. I was dating a hopeless cause anyway." The Mauraders began to laugh and a small smile stretched across Lily's face.
"We'll you should just forget about him Lily Flower!" Said Sirius, who had caught onto Brooke's nickname, "I mean, were gonna have the entire common room to ourselves! And were gonna party it up for the holidays, right Mary?" He wrapped an arm and flashed a smile at her. God he was hot! The carriage pulled up to the school and Lily hopped out.
"So what are we waiting for? Let's go have fun!"
"Actually Lily, I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but I believe you and I have a flying lesson today," grinned James mischeviously. Lily gulped nerviously as he lead her onto the Quidditch field.
So should Lily take Severus back, or try James instead? Lemme know what you think! More updates soon! and btw merry christmas and happy holidays :D
