Keep on reading! Hopefully, this chapter will be longer than the last one.
They bumped into someone who was tall, with long, blonde hair, and a look on her face like she had an unpleasant smell under her nose. (Guess who it is!)
She said "Excuse me, I'm trying to walk here! Anyway, what are mudbloods like you two doing out here in the street all alone, and first years, too! You better watch out, next time, my boyfriend, Lucius Malfoy will kick your butts!"
"Oh yeah?" replied James, looking like he was going to kill her. He looked over at Lily, who was looking canfused and a little bit scared. He was going to get this girl! Then he remembered that she knew spells, and he didn't, (he hasn't started yet, so he doesn't know about the rules about magic on the holidays) so he shut up, and walked away, muttering "Next time, I'll get her! She had no right to say that!"He pulled Lily along with him, taking her hand, because she knew where their parents were, and he didn't, and he also enjoyed her company.
She said to him, "What did she call us? Why did you get so mad?"
He replied, "Mudbloods. It means like, dirty blood. It is a very rude thing to say to someone, and it IS something to get mad about."
Of course, my parents are wizards, she just didn't realize who I was, is all."
"Oh," she said, "Well, my parents are not wizards, and I just wish I knew all of the stuff that you do! How will I survive at Hogwarts, not knowing anything about wizards?"
"Oh," he said it's ok. I can teach you! You'll understand everything, soon enough, with the great James' help! Besiees, there are lots of muggle-born kids at Hogwarts."
"But, what can I do in return? And, what is a muggle?"
"Muggles are non-wizards. There is nothing wrong with being Muggle-born, but some idiots in the Slytherin house think that it is bad. Slytherin is one of the houses at Hogwarts. It has turned out more dark witches and wizards than any other. You can teach me about Muggles! Then, I will know most everything, and won't have to take Muggle Studies, in third year!"
"How do you know all of this stuff?" she asked.
He said, "My brother, Robert, goes to Hogwarts, so I know a lot about it from him."
"My sister," she said, "is a full blown Muggle. She hates anything magical, even me!"
As they both found out a lot about each other, they walked, and bought supplies, and then, finally went back to their parents.
When Lily saw them, she showed them her favorite purchase, her owl, a white snowy owl, who she named Jewel. James had bought a firey-looking brown and red(like the hair color, red) owl, who he named Firebird.
Finally, it was time to go home. Lily said that she would mail James before the start of term, and the parents, whom had grown quite close, said their goodbyes, and they left.
When they got home, Lily scattered her things about her room, and, as it was quite late, she plopped into bed, thinking about what Hogwarts might be l ike.
The next month passed by quickly, and before Lily knew it, it was the day before she had to leave.
Just keep reading to find out what happens on the train and all of that.
