Friends Forever (4)
Hello again! Here's part four, will the mystery be revealed? Who knows? Well I do,
but I'm not telling you (Ha! Ha!) Anyway here's the story…
"W-w-what?!" said James speechless. "But how? Why?"
"I don't know James, that's the thing," answered Dumbledore
"In what way is it cursed, Professor?" asked Frank
"It is cursed with the dreaded Inoxilator fire," said Dumbledore. Sam gasped and put
her hands over her mouth.
"What's Inoxilator fire, Professor?" asked James
"It can only set fire to living things, you for example," Dumbledore explained
"So can normal fire," said James
"Yes, but Inoxilator fire causes internal burning, which causes excruciating pain, but
not death."
"Ouch!" said Sam.
"F-forever?" asked James, nervously. Dumbledore nodded. James gulped.
"Can you fix it?" asked Sam
"Yes, but you do know that you can't use it till your second year, don't you James,"
said Dumbledore
"Yes," said James dully. At that point Dumbledore walked back to his office and the
three of them rushed up to Gryffindor common room to tell the others.

It was the last day of their first year at Hogwarts. The incident about the broom had
somehow got around the school, and there were some exaggerated versions of the
story, take this for example:
"James! James! Is it true that a man with a cursed broom held you at wandpoint?"
Kind of exaggerated, don't you think? Oh well, on with the story. Anyway, the five
boys were in their room, packing.
"Do you have any idea who it could have been, J?" asked Sirius
"None," he replied
"Isn't there anyone in your family who really loathes you?" asked Remus
"Nope, I'm actually quite popular in my family" Just then there was a knock on the
door, and Lily and Kelly walked in.
"Just come to say goodbye and be careful, especially you James," said Lily
"I will, Lil, don't worry," laughed James
"It isn't a laughing matter, James, you could have been seriously hurt!" said Kelly,
sharply
"Okay, okay," he sighed
"Let's just forget about it, it's almost the holidays! In an hour we'll be sitting on the
train on our journey home!" said Remus, cheerfully. And he was right; in an hour's
time the ten of them were sitting on the train, sharing a compartment and eating some
sweets Siobhan's brother had brought them back from Hogsmede.
"Three months of rest and relaxation, bliss!" sighed Peter
"I won't argue with that!" laughed Sam, with a mouthful of chocolate frogs.
"Hey do any of you know how to use a telephone?" Kelly asked the others.
"A what?" said Nancy and Sam at the same time. It took Kelly half an hour to explain
how to use a telephone then about ten minutes to explain how to use a telephone box,
and what a 20p looks like. Lily, who knew all about telephones, was laughing at
Nancy and Sam's lack of comprehension. Kelly sighed when she had finally finished
explaining.
"I still don't get it," said Sam. Kelly groaned. Lily was now in stitches.
"Just send me an owl then!" she snapped
"Okay!" said Sam, cheerfully. Kelly groaned again.
"Hey," said James "You lot should come over during the holidays were not going
away this summer, last year when we went to Spain it was awful!"
"Why, what happened?" asked Siobhan
"Don't ask, it's a long story"
"Okay." After that the journey went pretty quickly, they all had some lunch, played
some games and Lily was explaining to a fascinated Sirius how computers worked.
Before long they had arrived at platform 9¾, then through the barrier to Kings Cross
and were saying their last goodbyes to each other. Lily noticed that Siobhan looked
upset because her parents and little sister couldn't come and collect her from the
station. The old woman standing next to her must have been her grandmother and her
brother, Tom, was also with her. Lily started to walk over to her, when James blocked
her way.
"What do you want?" said Lily, flatly
"Goodbye to you too," James answered cheerfully
"Can't you just get out of my way?"
"Nope!" Lily groaned
"Go away!"
"Erm…no!"
"Grrrrrrrrr!"
"Sorry, tiger!"
"My name is Lily"
"Sorry Tiger lily"
"Shut up!"
"No"
"Can't you go and annoy someone else?"
"No"
"You're such a prat!"
"Thank you!"
"Who's talking about horse face?" (Snape) Sirius interrupted. Lily groaned again.
Somehow she wasn't sure how, she managed to escape from the boys, but by the time
she had escaped Siobhan had gone. Damn! She thought. That was all the boys fault!
She turned around to shout at them to find that they had gone too. Grrrrrrrr! She
thought to herself when she heard…
"Lily! Oh Lily! Over here darling!" It was Lily's mother, running towards her. Arms
outstretched and hair all over the place. When her mother had hugged and kissed her,
the first thing that Lily said was,
"Where's Dad?"
"He's doing overtime at the bank, love," Lily's mother replied
"Where's 'the brat'?"
"If you mean your sister, she's at home. And I wish you wouldn't call her that"
"Sorry mum"
"It's alright darling, I'm just so glad to see you again!"
"I'm glad to see you too, Mum!" Her mother then squealed with delight. Five minutes
later Lily was sitting in the car and thinking home again at last!
And cut! Sorry that was also a bit short, I feel sorry for poor old (or young) James,
oh well! The next bit will be a lot better than that, I assure you! Review? Please?
