Chapter 9
Today is Tuesday July 1, mum and dad took me out for pizza and ice cream it was a blast I love hanging out with mum and dad. A week after my party I received a letter from Lily asking me if I could spend the rest of break with her so we could go shopping together. Of course mum and dad agreed and we decided that she would pick me up a week from Saturday.
Early Saturday morning I woke up and started packing. 20 outfits, my converse, red boots, and personal items was all I packed, that should get me through the rest of the summer break. I dressed in a knee length dress that was loose and flowy, my hair was pulled back in a ponytail. I heard the Evens car pull around in the drive way and hurried to great them. Lily was in the back seat and had greatly matured in looks, it was surprising. I got out of the car, she was dressed similar to me, except that her fiery red hair was as short as mine, last year it had been by her hips. Her emerald eyes sparkled because she was glad to see me. I had missed very much.
"Lils, you have no idea how much I have missed you!" I exclaimed while hugging her.
" I missed you too Katie!"
" I'm so glad I'm coming with you!" I told her
"so am I." she replied back
The way to Lily's house was long and curvy I got car sick a time or two and we had to make pitstops for me to get rid of everything. It took us three and a half hours to get to Lily's house but we finally made it.
Lily's house was beautiful; it is white with a gold door and small windows that overlook a wonderful flower garden. I shared a bedroom with Lily her bedroom was painted with light pink roses and her windowsill was painted gold. I have been here for nearly two weeks and am still loving being here. The only thing about my stay that is not great, is Lily's sister Petunia. Petunia is I down right snob, and she is horrible to Lily. Lord I would love to hex her into oblivion, but I cannot sadly. On Wednesday on my third week being here, my and Lily's school lists arrived. Mr. And Mrs. Evens took us to buy our things on Saturday. We entered Gringotts and we went to my vault, I felt bad for the Evens to have to come down here in the cold dark just for me. We finally reached my vault after what seemed like ages, I was allowed to go retrieve my money, I was in the process of getting a few Knuts, when I noticed some other valuables that weren't money, from what I could see there was a cup, a golden cup with beautiful handles and what looked like the Hufflepuf badger on it.
"Katie is their something wrong?" asked Lily worriedly
I turned around and shook my head. It was just a trick of the light I told myself. We left Gringotts, and set out to get our books. After leaving the book store we headed home talking about our day. Late that night Lily and I were discussing school when out of the blue she says:
"Katie, I have a secret to tell you."
" What is it ?"I mumbled tiredly, I hate it when people disrupt my sleep..
"Well, I think that I may be in love with James."
"James who?" I asked still not entirely awake
"James Potter you tosspot!"
I sat up in bed and slowly turned around and said "Well no shit Sherlock." It was obvious that she had feelings for him she is always going on about him, wondering what he is doing, or complaining about him.
"What, how did you know? How long have you known?"
"It's obvious. Since last year. Now can I go back to sleep?"
"Yes you winy baby." she said smiling
Now time for a restful sleep.
Restful sleep my arse, last night was horrible not because I couldn't sleep, just because of my nightmare. Last night I dreamed that I was outside the castle and Remus was their, but as soon as the full moon peaked through the clouds Remus started to change, I saw his body distort and his face elongate his clothes ripped and hair began to sprout.
The kindness in his amber eyes changed to agony then to shear madness. He was in so much pain, I wished I could do something but I didn't know what I should do. I wanted to move, to run away because as soon as the transformation was through he would kill me. As I stood there in shock I watched him change and at last he was done. He saw me and barreled toward me, I knew what was going to happen, but instead of killing me he stoped in front of me. I couldnt figure out why he stopped. He must have known I was confused, he turned and bid me to follow him. He took me to a little lake, he stared into the water and I was curious to see what he thought was so interesting, as I looked into the lake I saw myself, but I was not in my body, my reflection was a huge white tiger. When I awoke I was still in bed but drenched in sweat, I have been think about how to help Remus and latly it has been bothering me more than normal, finally I have an answer!
