The rest of the week flew by really fast. Thanksgiving Day came and went. The guy's and I wrecked havoc all over the house and the city.

Thursday was Thanksgiving and I spent it with Spud, Slick, Money, and Wheels. On Friday, I was extremely busy at my mother's ballet

studio. I was supposed to leave on Sunday morning so I had planned everything ahead of time. So, Friday, I spent all day and night at my

mother's ballet studio fixing it up and writing down things that I wanted changed and redone. The whole staff worked on it with me. We

basically redid the whole studio. Now the studio itself was still exactly the same because we hadn't carried out any of our plans yet. I was

planning on having the studio redesigned when I went back to Hogwarts. Then I would come see how it all came together over Christmas

break. So for the most part we all just reorganized it and decided together what needed too be fixed and changed. Then I started a separate

account just for the studio at the bank that only me and Madame had access to. She would be taking over the studio when I wasn't here. In

between all the work I was doing, I was also spending a lot of time planning my Farewell Dinner. I had decided to have my dinner on

Saturday night. I planned every detail out about Saturday. It was my last day to see everyone so I planned on spending time with all of the

people I liked the most. So on Saturday morning I dragged myself out of bed and got ready for the first thing I'd planned. I was going to go

grocery shopping with Sherl and Tavia. We were going really early so there wouldn't be huge crowds of people there. They were going to

pick me up at 8:30 a.m. and it was about 8:15 already so I had to hurry up and get ready. In record time I showered, brushed my teeth, and

covered my body in lotion. I threw on some extremely baggy ripped blue jeans and a snug long-sleeved, black, velour, zipper, hoodie. I

didn't have time to fuss with my hair so I kept the sky blue streaks in it and just tied it up in a quick low ponytail to the back. My long hair

was falling down my back but I didn't have time to get annoyed with it. I didn't put on any make-up and hardly any jewelry. The only

jewelry I wore was my silver stud nose ring. I smeared some chap stick on my mouth and ran downstairs. I heard Sherl outside honking the

car, so I quickly shoved my feet into my black Nike's and ran out to the car. As I jumped into the car, Tavia and Sherl eyed me. "What the

hell happened to you?" Tavia so kindly put it. I glared at her, "Nothing happened. I just didn't see the point in getting all dolled up just to go

to the grocery store."

"You look like shit!" Sherl oh-so helpfully pointed out.

"I'm not much of a morning person, okay?"

"No shit!"

We parked and hurried into the store. Just as we had hoped, there weren't very many people there. So I gave them all different parts of my

shopping list and we all split up and went off to different areas of the store. I went over to the vegetable isle. I stocked up on the things I

wanted and hurried over to the cake isle. After buying everything I needed, I met back up with Tavia and Sherl and we carried the bags out

to the car. We drove over to Sherl's and placed all the bags in the kitchen. I turned to Sherl, "Now we'll be back around two to start the

cooking." Sherl nodded and shooed us out. As we were leaving I called over my shoulder, "The guy's will be here around one to clean up!"

Tavia and I took Sherl's car and drove off. We had spent about three hours in the grocery store. So now we were heading to a Deli to grab

lunch real quick and then we had too go hand out invitations. Once at the Deli, we grabbed seats in a back booth. The waiter came up and

ordered our food. It took him forever to get our orders cause he kept trying to flirt with me and Tavia at the same time. Finally he got the

hint and left after my menu "accidently" slipped and "miraculously" shoved into his private areas. Tavia and I went over the dinner plans

while we waited. "So whose all invited again?" she asked, while sipping on her water. I flipped open a thick folder and read off from the

guest list. "Let's see," I said peering at the names. "For the guys, I invited, Spud, Slick, Wheels, and Money, obvioulsy. But I also invited,

Mark, Teddy, Dougie, Taylor, Guy, Lennie, and Parker." Tavia choked on her water. "What's wrong?" I asked looking up, alarmed. She

stared at me in disbelief, "You're inviting Taylor and Dougie? At the same time?" I rolled my eyes, "Tavia don't make it sound like I'm dating

both of them at the same time or something? Yes, I'm inviting them both and yes at the same time. I have no reason to hide them from each

other. Besides, whatever feelings Taylor use to have for me have nothing to do with our lives now and as for me and Dougie well that

remains to be unseen. I guess only time will tell. I have feelings for him but they haven't taken over my life or anything. We're all adults

now." Tavia stared at me. I threw my hands up, "Okay well we're all going to be adults soon. I think we can handle one tiny dinner with

each other." Tavia gave me an unsure look, "I hope you're right because I got a new dress for this and I don't want it caught in a food

fight!" I rolled my eyes, "Nobody's gonna have a food fight!" Tavia bit into her turkey sandwhich as the waiter placed our food down. "So

what girls did you invite?" I wiped the sauce from my salami sandwhich off my mouth and picked up the list again. "I invited, you, obvioulsy,

Shayla, Lyric, and Bailey." Tavia smiled, "Bailey, Lyric, and Shayla were so excited to hear from you. I can't wait for all of us to be together.

You haven't hung out with them in ages." I nodded, "I know. I usually hang around the guys and thats it but I like hanging around them too."

Tavia gave me a nervous glance. I sighed and put my sandwhich down, "What do you want?" "Lily I kinda invited Tina to the dinner," she

said. "What!?" "Well she's kind of cool and I figured you wouldn't mind too much. She's always nice to you." "Yeah while she gossiped

behind my back," I muttered darkly. "Please!! Lily? Please!!" Tavia begged. I sighed deeply, "Fine! But if she pisses me off I'm poisoning

her dinner." Tavia clapped her hands, "Yay! Thanks!" We finished our sandwhiches, paid, and jumped in the car to go hand out the formal

invitations. After running around the city, doing that, and getting a few other things, we drove back to Sherl's house. Sherl held open the

door as we lugged in huge bags of goodies that I had decided I just had to have. "Damn! Whats all this?" asked Sherl. "Just a few

necessities for tonight." Sherl peeked into the bags and saw all the decorations I had bought. "Cute decorations, sweet pea!" Sherl said. I

looked around at the spotless house. "Looks good, huh?" I commented. "Yeah, those boys did a kick ass job!" Sherl agreed. "Well I'll start

cooking and you start setting up and decorating okay Tavia?" I said. "Sure," she replied. "I'll help you Lily," Sherl said. I shook my head,

"Naw! I'm gonna cook myself but can you help Tavia set up and stuff?" Sherl raised her eyebrows at me, "I'll help her but you're gonna

cook all this food by yourself?" I nodded while backing up into the kitchen, "Yeah! I'm wonder woman remember?" I turned around and dug

out all the food I was gonna use for dinner that night. I washed my hands and got to work.

Five Hours Later

"I'm done," I said walking out of the kitchen covered in flour and raw egg and sugar and such things." Me too!" Tavia said walking out of her

room all dressed up. We both stared at each other but for different reasons. I stared because she looked gorgeous. She was wearing a

stunning, bronze, silk, pleated dress that was just a little past her knees. The dress was thin spaghetti strapped and had a sweetheart

neckline. It was tied in the center by a satin ribbon. She wore thin, tiny, light, gold, strappy heels. Her hair was down in soft curls that

framed her face. She wore a thin necklace with a gold pendent on it in the shape of a heart. Tiny gold hearts hung from her ears. (Check out

Tavia's outfit in my profile and click on the link) She stared because I looked a mess covered in food and sweat and my hair was on its way

somewhere else. "Lils get dressed. The dinner starts in an hour. Your guests will be arriving shortly." My eyes widened, "Okay! I'm going.

I'm going to get in the shower. My outfits still sitting on your bed right?" She nodded as I rushed into the bathroom to get into the shower. I

hurried out of the shower and began rubbing on lotion and trying to put on my underwear at the same time. I stepped out of the room once I

was ready."So," I said turning around for Tavia. "How do I look?" Tavia clapped her hands over her mouth,"You look so gorgeous, Lil!" I

smiled, pleased with her reaction. My dress was white and tied at the back of the neck with a split in between my breasts that showed just a

bit of cleavage, there was a deep red clasp placed in the middle of the dress that set off my cherry red stilettos, and the dress came to about

mid calf and was fitted tightly, showing off my curves, and a long split up the left side of the dress revealing part of my thigh. My hair was

clipped up into a tight high ponytail at the center of my head with large and bouncy curls. My hair clip was big and red. I had put on some

simple black mascara, black eyeliner to bring out my eyes more, and light red apple scented lip gloss. I wore no belly ring since you couldn't

see my stomach anyways, a glittering red stud in my nose, a matching red tongue ring, my mum's chain was the only necklace I wore, two

rings both on each of my ring fingers that were plain silver bands with single red stones on each of them, plain white pearl earrings,and my

nails were freshly french manicured as were my toes. I was very pleased with the way this dinner was turning out so far. Now all I had to

do was wait on my guests. While we waited for my guests to begin arriving we checked out the dining room one last time. It was a large

dining are with a big rectangle shaped table in the middle of the room. Tavia and Sherl had placed a small bouquet of royal crowned tulips in

the middle of the table and all of the plates and bowls and utencils were sat at each person's spot. The table had just enough spaces for each

of my guests. Tavia and I dimmed the lights and lit all of the vanilla scented candles that were set all over the room. When we were done

the room looked just like a resteraunt, even better actually. Tavia and I sat in the living room waiting for people to start coming. We started

talking about my winter break and suddenly in the middle of us making plans the doorbell rang followed by a knock on the door. Tavia

jumped up to answer the door. I followed slowly, and when I made it to the front a few of my guests were here waiting anxiously for me.

Taylor, Guy, Lennie, and Parker were the first to arrive. They were introducing themselves to Tavia as I walked in and Taylor and Tavia

were reuniting with quick hugs and jokes. I cleared my throat. "Wow, Lily!" exclaimed Parker. I smiled and greeted everyone."Thanks for

coming guys," I said as I hugged Taylor. "No problem," commented Lennie. "Yeah thanks for inviting us!" responded Guy. Tavia led them all

to the dining room as I stayed in the living room waiting for more guests arrival. I smiled as I heard the admiring comments coming from the

dining room. The doorbell rang several more times as more guests began to show up. I had quite a happy reunion with a few of rare girl

friends that I hadn't seen in a while. Shayla, Bailey, and Lyric were dressed up fabulously and all looked beautiful. A few minutes later I had

a not quite so happy reunion with Tavia's chosen guests Tina a.k.a Tina-talk-too-much and Keely a.k.a slut #2 and Tina's best friend. They

came in dressed like fast-paced London hookers. Tina wore a cheetah print extremely short wrap around tube dress with her hair hanging

down and Keely wore a zebra print extremely shorter dress and her hair was also down. I sucked my teeth but allowed Tavia to show them

into the dining room. Finally Dougie arrived with Teddy and Mark following closely behind. I answered the door for them both and was

greeted with smiles and compliments and hugs all around. Dougie also presented me with a humongous bouquet of Royal Crowned Tulips. I

smiled at him and said thanks as I led them into the dining area where everyone else was already seated. Everyone was seated boy-girl.

Tina and Keely perked up when they saw Dougie, Teddy,and Mark. They must have thought they were in heaven with all the hot guys I had

in the room. Just as I opened my mouth the bell rang loudly several times in a row. I rolled my eyes at Tavia. "Three guesses as to who that

could be." I said. She laughed and went to open the door. A minute later my band all piled into the room looking devious but handsome. I

glared at them, "My own band are the last to arrive?" All of them glared at Wheels. "Sorry Dez , I kind of had an emergency,"said Wheels.

"What was the emergency?" I asked knowingly. "My...uh...car kinda needed new rims," muttered Wheels. I rolled my eyes, "Yeah big

emergency!"The band all took seats. I took my seat in between Dougie and Spud and across from Taylor. I introduced everyone even though

most of them knew each other already. I smiled when I saw Guy and Lennie eyeing Lyric at the same time. "Well lets bring out the first

course," Tavia said. I got up and Tavia followed me into the kitchen. "Guys we need help carrying some of the trays," I said eyeing my band.

They jumped up to help. As we exited the kitchen we carried several silver trays ladden with food. We placed them on the table neatly. I

grabbed a bottle of champagne and poured everyone glasses. "I hope you guys enjoy this meal," I said as I pulled off the covers. The first

course was hot, steaming, thick, onion soup with hot crispy bread sticks. Money laddled out all the soup into everyone's bowls and before

anyone got to dig in, Tavia cleared her throat. I looked up curiously and dropped my spoon politely to listen to her. She stood up with her

glass of champagne. "I'd like to make a toast to our gorgeous hostess, Lily Evans!" Everyone held up their glasses enthusiastically, well

except Tina and Keely they held their glaases up looking bored. Tavia smiled and looked at me, "To Lily for being the coolest, most fun,

wildest, and best thing thats ever happened to us!!" "Hear! Hear! To Dez!"yelled Spud, Slick, Wheels, and Money. I smiled and held up my

glass also. "Yeah! To me!" Everyone laughed. Tavai sat down and we all began to eat. As we were eating we all held our own indvidual

conversations. I was immersed in a conversation with Spud, Taylor, Mark, and Money about the latest music that had been coming out from

local bands all over London. Wheels, Money, and Slick had all brought out the second course and everyone was helping themselves to

pepper steak and rice and more champagne and water. "You know whose really good?" Mark said. "Who?" asked Money. "Zoom 86!" he

replied tearing off a chunk of meat with his teeth. "Oh yeah they're really good!!" I agreed waving my fork around. "I saw one of their

shows and it rocked," Taylor commented. "I think their music's a bit cliche'," retorted Spud. "Uh uh, not even!" I exclaimed. The guys all

began debating and as I laughed at one of Taylor's comments, Dougie tapped me on the shoulder. I turned and smiled, "Yes?" "Could you

please get this uh... creation away from me?" I looked up and saw Tina talking Dougie's ear off and clutching his arm apparently not noticing

he wasn't listening. I laughed. "Tina can you go and get another bottle of champagne from the pantry?" I asked politely. She broke off,

glaring at me slightly. "Sure," she replied sweetly. She unclutched her arm from Dougie and walked into the kitchen. I winked at Dougie and

he and Teddy began talking. "Lily, whats been going on with you?" Bailey asked me. Shayla turned and listened too."Well," I said sipping on

my wine. "Lots!" I began to tell them of how much I've actually been enjoying school. They had just excalimed their shock when Teddy and

Dougie interrupted. "Hey you're all girls right?" Teddy asked. We all gave him funny looks. "Yeah thats kind of obvious,"I stated. Spud and

Wheels had just bought in the next course. Which was Fettechini Alfredo and more wine, champagne, and soda. As we all served ourselves

Dougie cut in. "No he means since you're girls than maybe you can help us out?" "Go on," I said laddling food onto both mine and Dougie's

plates. He smiled at me and continued,"Well would you take offense if a guy asked you did you used to be a prostitute?" Us girls all stared

at him. "What kind of question is that?" Bailey finally spoke up. "Yeah any self-respecting female would obviously take offense to such a

disrespecting suggestion!" added Shayla. "How is that a suggestion?" asked Teddy. "By asking her was she ever a prostitute you're

basically suggesting that she looks as if that could be a common possibility," responded Lyric. "So to answer your question," said Tavia,

"Hell yes we'd get mad!" "I'd take it as a compliment," said Keeley. "Yeah because he's totally saying that you're hot enough to be a

prostitute!" Tina said. It got silent as us girls stared at the two of them. Finally, I said,"Wow! You guys are going to go so far in life!" Tina

glared at me as the whole room broke out into laughter except for those two. Everyone turned back to their own individual converstaions.

Dougie tapped my shoulder lightly. As I turned he kissed me lightly on the cheek. "You look beautiful!" "Thank you!" I whispered. The guys

brought out more and more courses. As we all ate our way through the courses we continued to talk about whatever hit our minds. Finally,

we were down to our last course. Dessert! I personally went into the kitchen and brought out the dessert myself. I sat down a covered dish

infront of each of them. I poured each of them a wine goblet full of fruity soda. "It goes better with the desserts," I said. I walked over to

the front of the table. "Uncover your desserts,"I announced. Everyone lifted their covers. "Wow, Anna! This looks great!" exclaimed Tyalor.

Dessert was strawberry moose cake with strawberry and vanilla sprinkles. Everyone began to eat but before I could take a bite myself,

Dougie twisted my head around and held out a bite of cake on his fork. "Taste!" he said. I opened my mouth and let him seductively slide the

fork in. "Mmmh!" I breathed as I swallowed the cake. "Addictive, isn't it?" he whispered pointedly. Without answering I sipped some soda,

knowing we weren't talking about cake anymore. "Lily when are you coming back again?" asked Lyric. "Yea we need to spend more time

with you," said Shayla. "Well, I'm coming back for Chrstmas Break. Which will be really soon." "So have you met any new hot guys at your

new school?"asked Bailey. Dougie and Taylor both choked on their cake. "Yeah, Lily have you?" asked Tavia, trying to cover up a laugh. I

glared at her. "Um, well not really," I answered carefully. "Why is that? I'm sure there are tons all over you," said Bailey chewing on her

cake. Tavia grinned, "Yeah why is that?" I narrowed my eyes at her. "I don't really have time for that right now. I'm really focused on my

music!" "As she should be," Spud came to my rescue. "Yeah we don't need any bloody wankers cozying up to our Dez!" exclaimed Wheels.

"Well could you really blame them?" asked Lennie. "What's that supposed to mean?" asked Dougie suddenly. "Well, look at her guys!

What's the first thing you think when you look at her?" asked Guy. "That she's incredibly sexy!" suppiled Parker. "Exactly!" said Lennie.

"Why is this even a conversation topic?" I asked annoyed. "Yeah guys, Lily's a hottie we all know this so can we move on to something

thats news and not history!" pronounced Shayla. Everyone chuckled a little at that. "Well, I for one wanna here more about Dougie,"

commented Tina. I stopped eating and stared at her with a frown. "Yeah," said Keeley batting her eyelashes at him. "What brings you

back?" Teddy stared at Dougie with a smirk. Before Dougie answered I cut in. "What's it to you?" I asked harshly. Everyone stared at me

weirdly. "I was just asking and I believe I was talking to Dougie baby not you!" sneered Tina. My eye twitched violently. Dougie grimaced,

"I'd really prefer it if you didn't call me that!" Tina pouted, "But Lily calls you that all the time!" I rolled my eyes, "Yeah, Lily calls him that

not Tina!" Dougie cleared his throat uncomforatbly,"Well I basically came back for alot of reasons. A little of this and that!" Teddy laughed,

"Yeah but it was more of a this then a that!" Dougie cut his eyes at him. "Oh so thats why you came back?" Keeley said. "Whatever the

reason was I'm sure he didn't come back to have this conversation with you," I glowered. "Okay so hows that cake everybody?" cut in

Tavia as me and Tina glared at each other fiercely. "No, Lily obviously has something she'd like to say to me so let her.," Tina said. "I think

I've said just about everything I wanted to say," I replied angrily. "Well how come you're still talking then?" Tina asked. I snapped my fork

in half with a loud crack, "Maybe because you haven't shut the hell up yet!" Tavia jumped up,"Is anyone else hot in here or is it just me?"

"It's just you!" snapped Tina. "Don't snap at her! She can ask a question if she wants to!" I snapped at Tina. "And I can snap at her if I want

to!"she snarled throwing down her fork. I stood up knocking my chair back, "No you can't! Not if I say you can't!" Tina stood up to,"Who

died and made you the bloody boss of everything!" "It's my dinner party and my godmothers apartment and I'd really appreciate it if you

didn't act like a disrespectful slut while you're here!" I said. "Uh-Oh!" Tavia said. "I'll show you a disrespectful slut! You prude!" Tina

growled. She stormed across the room and yanked Dougie's hand up to her and made him squeeze her breast. "Oh shit!" muttered Spud.

Dougie snatched his hand away from her, "That was uncalled for!" Tina smirked at me, "You know you liked it and there's more where that

came from if you leave with me tonight." I cracked my knuckles and began making my way over to her. Dougie jumped up in between us

and got to her first. He looked at her disgusted, "If you ever do that shit again, I'll let Lily murder you like I'm sure she's trying to do right

now. I wouldn't let any girl who disrespects herself like that even kiss my pinky! I think you should do yourself a favor and get the hell outta

here!" Tina blushed bright tangerine."Well, I'm leaving then! You all think you're such hotshots!" Wheels laughed, "That's the first time I've

ever been called a hotshot!" Keeley glared at us, "You're all classless losers!!" "Oh we're classless but you're the one wearing a barely

there, zebra print dress, to a simple dinner party," exclaimed Bailey. Tavia, Lyric, and Shayla all snickered. "We are so outta here," sneered

Tina, yanking up her purse and grabbing Keeley by the arm. As they made their way to the door, I blocked their path. "Not without taking

dessert with you," I said, smashing their two leftover pieces of cake into their faces! As everyone at the table broke out laughing they

angrily began wiping chunks of cake off themselves as they stormed out of the apartment. "Can't say I'm sad to see them go very much to

be quite honest," said Lyric thoughtfully. "I agree," I replied with a smile. "Why would you ever invite those awfully horrendus girls, Lily?"

asked Shayla. "Yes, why ever would I? Huh?" I asked, pointedly staring at Tavia. She grinned sheepishly, "Sorry! Gosh how was I supposed

to know they were gonna act like such slutty pains in the asses?" I rolled my eyes sarcastically, "Yeah who could have ever predicted such

a catastrophe?" Tavai laughed, "Alright! I'm sorry! This was your day and I should have listened to you when you implied that you didn't

want them here today!" I nodded, "Thank you, I knew this would happen!" Tavia shook her head, "You knew Tina and Keeley would walk

out of here with cake on their faces?" I laughed, "No! But I figured I'd be right in some kind of way!" Tavia rolled her eyes and everyone

laughed again. As the end of the dessert came, I jumped up to retrieve my camera and began snapping pictures of everyone. I took one of

just me and the band,then me and the girls, then me and Taylor and his band, then me and all the guys, then me and Tavia, then me and

Dougie, Taylor, and Mark, and finally me and Dougie together. "Send me a extra copy of that one please?" whispered Dougie in my ear. "I

will Dougie baby," I whispered back. He winked at me. "How about we all gointo the rec room and listen to Lily play some songs for us?"

suggested Lyric. "Sure!" everyone agreed happily. I ran to the back and conjured up my white guitar. "Luckily, I brought this!" I exclaimed

as I made my way back into the rec room. I carefully sat down in a chair in front of them all as they squished on the various couches. "Come

on Lily, we can't wait to hear one of your hot new songs!" exclaimed Sahyla. "Yeah Lily, play us one!" said Dougie softly. I smiled at himand

strummed my guitar. "I call this one "Eyes Wide Open!"

I could hear her breathing
No one believed me
No one believed me
I could hear those voices
So deceiving
So deceiving
Cool wind on my face
Cool wind on my face
I can feel you calling
I know that you're there I know that you're there
Tell me all your memories
I'll keep them alive
I'll keep them alive
Cool wind on my face
Cool wind on my face

Do you know how it feels to be afraid
Lying there frozen
With my eyes wide open
And do you know how it feels to find a trace
Of words unspoken
With my eyes wide open
I know your secret

Do you know how it feels to be afraid
Lying there frozen
With my eyes wide open
And do you know how it feels to find a trace
Of words unspoken
With my eyes wide open
I know your secret

I heard you
I felt you
I know so what do you want from me
Cool wind on my face
Cool wind on my face
Cool wind on my face
Cool wind on my face

Do you know how it feels to be afraid
Lying there frozen
With my eyes wide open
And do you know how it feels to find a trace
Of words unspoken
With my eyes wide open
I know your secret
I know your secret
I know, I know your secret

"Beautiful! That was absolutely beautiful Lily!" squealed Lyric. "Yeah I rock!" I laughed. "We should definately do this more often," said

Shayla. "Do what?" I asked. "Hang out," Shayla said. "Yeah lets!" exclaimed Bailey. "I agree Lily we never all hang out enough: remarked

Tavia. "We never can seem to rip you away from the guys," Lyric added. I laughed, "I'm starting to rethink my friendship with them!" We all

stared at the guys arm wrestling and sticking cheese curls up there noses. "What?" asked Money noticing us staring. "Aren't you guys a

little too old to be doing that?" asked Tavia. They ignored us and continued on. I looked at my watch. "Guys it's getting late and Tavia and I

still have to clean up," I said. Everyone stood to leave. "Well it was great seeing you and let's definately make plans the next time your back

in town," said the girls. "Of course!" I agreed as I hugged them all good-bye. After the girls left I bid Taylor and his band farewell with hugs

and to go plates and promises of keeping in touch. Taylor gave me an extra tight hug as he kissed me on the cheek and left. Teddy and Mark

squeezed me to death with hugs and said they hoped to see me soon. As they walked out I called them back. "You guys are leaving Dougie!"

They smirked at each other. "Oh he's not leaving with us!" Then they left. As Tavia and the rest of my band started to clean Dougie walked

up to me. "I was hoping I could get a ride home from you!" I smiled, "Why didn't you leave with them they could've taken you." He laughed,

"I needed some kind of excuse to get you to myself." I bit the bottom of my lip, "Well I really have to help clean!" Tavia overheard me well

more like she was eavsdropping and said, "Oh no it's fine Lily! We're almost done anyways besides you shouldn't have to clean up at your

own farewell dinner. I know you're exhausted from all of that cooking you did today. So you should definatey go ahead and take Dougie

home since it's on your way back to Spud's place." Dougie lit up, "I agree! Thanks for the suggestion Tavia!" The rest of the band urged me

to go ahead. They said they'd see me later on that night. Dougie and I got our things to leave and said our goodbyes. I hugged Tavia. "Give

me every detail later!" she whispered. I winked, "When have I ever not?" Dougie opened the door for me as we walked out. I tossed him

my car keys and asked him to drive. "Sure!" he replied. While we both buckled in, I popped in some slow jams. "I love being back around

you Lily!" Dougie said. "Why is that?" I asked. "You make me laugh!" he replied. "How?" I asked. "With the witty and random and even

sarcastic things you say." I smiled, "Well I love being back around you too!" "And why is that?" he asked. "Cause you were always so damn

hott!" I said. He laughed, "See what I mean?" I hummed absentmindly to myself as he drove. I glanced over and caught him smiling at me. I

tugged on a loose strand of hair, "Why are you smiling?" "You're just so amazing and you don't even see it!" he remarked. I blinked

stupidly. "Thanks," I said softly. Dougie pulled up to his Dad's house. There were no lights on. "It doesn't look like anyone's home? Do you

have any keys?" I asked. Dougie smiled, "Yeah I got the keys. My dad's out of town on business for the weekend." I smiled, "Oh so this is

why you wanted me to take you home?" "Maybe," he smirked. "I've gotta leave early tomorrow so I gotta take off, I said. "Please just

come in for a second," Dougie pleaded. "Dougie baby no funny business!" I warned following him out of the car and into the house. We went

up to his bedroom and he flipped on the lights. He flopped onto his bed comfortably. I stood there somewhat akwardly since I hadn't been

there in a while. "Lily come here," he said. I walked over to him slowly. He took my hands and pulled me on the bed next to him. "Your hair

smells like apples," he said. "I like apples," I replied playing with his hand. We layed there talking until we both fell asleep next to each

other on the bed. An extremely perky bird woke me up with it's annoying chirping the next morning. I glanced around and noticed I was still

in my dinner dress and that Dougie was lying next to me snoring softly. I glanced at my phone and noticed it was blinking. Which meant I

had multiple messages. I opened my phone and began listening to them. They were from my band telling me to call them. I also had several

text messages from Tavia. I called Spud immediately. "Dezz you're an idiot!" he yelled into the phone. "Why am I an idot today?" I asked

yawning. "Have you looked at the time?" he asked. I glanced at my watch and noticed I had an hour before I had to be at Kings Cross

Station. "Bloody hell!" I muttered. "I'll be there in 5 minutes," I said and hung up. "What's wrong Lily?" Dougie said waking up from hearing

me talking. I jumped up scurrying to the front door, "I've gotta go I'm super late. I've gotta be on my way back to school in an hour." Dougie

ran after me, "Wait Lily!" I turned back, "What?" "I'll miss you can I have a hug?" I smiled and ran back to hug him supertight. He planted a

warm kiss on my forehead. "See you over Christmas!" I yelled jumping into the car and speeding off. I made it back to Spud's hose in record

time. I rushed past everyone in the living room and ran straight into my bathroom. I peeled off my dress and hopped into the shower. When

I got out I magically dried my hair and threw on lotion, deodorent, and black mascara, black lipgloss, black nail polish and brushed my teeth.

Once that was done I waved my hands over my head and immediately my hair was done up into a ponytail of a huge bunch of tiny braids

with green tips. I quickly put on an outfit taht consisted of a emerald green tutu with black leggings that had green polka dots on them and a

long sleeved black shirt with green fishnet sleeves and green platform sneakers with black laces. I tossed on some huge black hoop

earrings on all six of my earring holes. I added a green diamond nose ring with a matching tongue ring. On my neck all I wore was my

mum's chain and I wore a mixture of funky rings on all of my fingers on both hands. I grabbed my green shoulderbag with UFO'S on it and

levitated my bags downstairs. Heart and Celestrial followed. The guys and Zack helped me pack all of my bags into my car. Once everything

was packed into the car including Celestrial and Heart. I turned to the band. Tavia and Sherl were also there. I hugged everybody tightly

and promised to keep in touch. "I'll see everybody over Christmas break. I'll be a home a little later then planned but I'll definately come

visit everyone." "We'll miss you so much!" said Tavia crying. "I'll miss everyone loads too!" I hopped in the car. I had 15 minutes to make it

to the train station. "Thanks for a wicked time!" "Bye!" everyone yelled as I sped off. Celestrial flew away once we reached the train

station.

I yelled after her to meet me at Hogwarts. Once I knew no one was looking I shrunk my car down pocket sized and tossed it in my hand

bag. I lugged all my bags through the barrier as Heart followed. Finally! I had made onto the train. Heart and I fell asleep once the train

started moving. When I woke up we were approaching Hogwarts. I grabbed my handbag and Heart followed me towards the carriges.

Halfway there I decided not to ride in them. I got out and unshrunk my car. I cast a magical transportation spell that got it to work on

Hogwarts grounds. Heart and I hopped in and I turned up Gwen Stefani's Crash and zoomed into the school. (Insert maniacal grin here) I

sped through the doors of the Great Hall and everyone was in the middle of lunch. Everyone jumped up in wonderment and confusion as

they saw me drive into the middle of the hall with Crash still blaring from my radio. The professors were staring at me wide eyed.

Dumbledee was merely looking amused. I honked the horn several times loudly. "Miss me?"
