Chapter Two ~ The Letter and the Wish
~*~*~*~
A/N: Okay, if you're really confused when you're reading this
chapter, it's because you didn't read the Author's Note. Well, basically I'm
telling you that Lily was in Slytherin in her old days at Hogwarts. Okay,
now that that's cleared out... read on!
"What is it Petunia?" Lily exclaimed.
"This is my wedding night! Yes, MY wedding night! Yet our parents are downstairs
rambling on and on about you! Do you call that fair? I don't! You're a freak!
How can they not realize it? You are a completely revolting freak! I know
what they think, and I know what you think. You all think that you're much
better than me. Always thinking that! Always being rude and cruel to me!"
Petunia shrieked.
Tears were streaming down her face quickly.
"Petunia, I don't know what you're talking about. I've never thought myself
above you - ever!" Lily insisted.
"I hate you Lily! I admit it! I completely hate you! You are a freak beyond
all reasoning! I won't see you again for nine months! And a good nine months
it will be! Goodbye Lily!" Petunia exclaimed.
She ran out of the room to the sink to wash her face before she presented
herself downstairs again.
Now that that is over with, Lily thought.
Nowadays Petunia was having these fits more often. Lily couldn't help that
she was Head girl, top student, beautiful, and more! She wanted to be successful
in life.
Lily sighed a heavy sigh and went back to her parchment eagerly. She opened
the letter hoping that it would be from - yes, yes it was!
JAMES!
Dear Lily,
I miss you so much. This summer has been great. Mom and Dad bought me a new
broom. It's the Nimbus 1980! It's so fast! You won't believe it. You think
that Lucius will have a Nimbus 1980 too? I hope not. I hope that things don't
work out between you two. Don't get mad at me for saying that. It's only because
I love you. I know you love me too...
That much was true. Lily did love James. She felt bad about Lucius. They had
been going out ever since her fourth year! Lucius wasn't James though. The
silvery hair was nothing compared to James...
Well, I just got back from the Quidditch World Cup! Did you know that Nimbus
1980's are the official brooms this year? Romania beat Great Britain! I couldn't
believe it! The final score was 200 to 190! It was leaning towards Great Britain
until Gilbert Storavia got the Snitch. That 150 points really does change
around the game a lot though...
Of course James was talking about Quidditch. It was his favorite thing in
the world, next to Lily. He was captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team,
Gryffindor Head boy, and made all the girls heads turn.
But enough about Quidditch. I'm probably boring you. I'm so happy we go
back to Hogwarts tomorrow! It'll be a blast! I never thought I'd make Head
boy. I always figured it would be Remus. He's top in all his classes, after
all. I never thought Peter stood a chance, but I thought I had about as much
luck as Sirius...
Sirius. Always one to help you laugh. Lily remembered how cheery he always
was.
Anywho, see you tomorrow!
Love,
James
Lily clutched the letter to her chest, anxious for the next days arrival.
"Lily! Lily, over here!" Narcissa Trausser called.
"Coming Narcissa," Lily replied sweetly.
She rushed forward with her trunk after one last kiss and hug from her parents.
Petunia hadn't come to see off Lily. Lily wasn't so sure that she cared
either.
"Let's go get our compartment now," Narcissa suggested.
"Okay," Lily agreed and climbed aboard the Hogwarts Express.
Narcissa Trausser was another seventh year Slytherin with shiny blond hair
that was almost silvery, and dark brown eyes. It was a strange combination,
yet some even called Narcissa beautiful. She probably would have been beautiful
if she didn't always have a smirk or a frown on her face.
They found Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape in one of the compartments.
"Hey you two," Narcissa said.
They sat down and Lucius went up next to Lily.
He tried to give her a hug, but she moved away.
"What's wrong?" he asked sharply.
"Nothing," Lily replied quickly.
The truth was, she had not seen James yet, and she missed him so much it
wasn't fair. Lily sighed.
So this was the start to her seventh year. Slytherin, and no James.
A/N: Still more feel for the characters. The next chapters will be a lot longer though. Pinky promise! A'right, gotta go now! R/R please!
