Lily picked the flower up
cautiously and went to smell it. But a stream of green ink blasted her. Her
voice could be heard from the Great Hall, yelling
"PPPPPPPPPPOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEERRRRRRR"
James was sitting next to
Sirius on the couch in the common room. It was the day before everyone went
home for the summer. A summer that was sure to be filled with excitement, fun
and 'getting lucky'. (Sirius' expectations) Lily and Skye had just walked in.
"My head hurts!" James
exclaimed, he had had a headache ever since Lily had screamed at him for over
an hour about the whole 'star-gazer lily' incident.
"Been thinking again
Potter?" Lily was standing right behind him, a big smile on her face.
"Ha ha ha, so funny Evans,
you're the funniest person I know."
"You're funny too Potter,
funny looking that is."
"You're not one to talk
carrots."
"At least I know how to
use a hairbrush four-eyes." By now they were standing four feet apart and
yelling at the top of their lungs. Serena came in the middle of them and held
out her arms.
"JUST STOP IT!" she
screamed with her usually so quiet voice. The both stepped back in
astonishment. "It's the last day we have together before next year so just cool
it! Tomorrow you go home and won't see each other for the whole summer ok?"
"Ok." They chorused
sheepishly and walked off to their appropriate corners of the common room.
After getting off the
train the next day, Lily searched for her mother.
"LILY!" she heard a voice
for the other side of the station.
"MUM!" she yelled hurtling
herself into her mothers arms.
"I missed."
"I missed you too."
"Come on." Jade Evans
grabbed her daughter's trunk and heaved it up on her shoulder, not the ordinary
thing for a woman to do…but she was no ordinary woman. She had raised two girls
all by herself after the death of Hiram Evans, when Petunia was four and Lily
two and was a very famous model.
Lily had always been
Jade's favorite. She had the same red hair, emerald eyes and the same build,
tall and skinny, with fairly average curves. Petunia, however, looked like
Hiram had. Stringy blond hair faded gray eyes and a small tiny frame and pointy
nose. Nobody could ever take Lily and Petunia for sisters…but that's life. Lily
didn't mind not being recognizable as the 'horse teethed, spaghetti haired
bitch's' sister, in fact she LOVED the fact they didn't look alike.
Once they had reached the
car, Lily saw the sneering, unhappy face of her stuck up sister in the back
seat. She hopped in the front just when Petunia broke out into her screechy
voice.
"MOTHER? (Only Lily called
Jade 'mum') I am 19 years old! Why did I have to come to meet the freak?"
"Now 'Tunia! Be nice to
your sister! Besides, as long as you live under my roof you're going to great
your sister at the end of term." Petunia growled at Lily, who retorted by
sticking her tongue out at Petunia.
"MOTHER!!!!" she pointed
accusingly at her sister.
"Lily! Petunia! Act your
age!" they both slumped down in their seats, as not to see the other one. Then
a smug grin formed on Petunia's mouth.
"Can I tell Lily about the
trip?" Lily's ears perked up.
"I was going to tell her
when we got home, but I suppose you can."
"We're going to the
Mediterranean for the whole summer!"
"SWEET!"
"But you're not coming."
Lily opened her mouth in shock.
"What?"
"Well…" Jade could feel
her daughter's discomfort. "I have to go there for a contract and Petunia
wanted to come with me and I don't think you're old enough and we won't get
back in time for you to go to school." Lily glanced back at her sister, who had
a look of triumph on her face.
"Where am I going then?"
Both her sets of grandparents were dead and she had no aunts or uncles.
"To the new neighbors
house. Quite a nice family, two young girls, they're twins, Tori and Lori, and
a mother and father last name's Black I believe…isn't it 'Tunia?"
"I believe so yes." Lily again slumped in her seat.
"Anyone my age?"
"I think they have a son
your age…was off at school all year. I'm almost sure his name's Serious or
something." Lily sat up strait. She was going to spend the summer with one of
her best friends? Well, maybe not best friends…but they did get along famously
except for the fact that he thought she was hot…but that had almost been
knocked out of him from a few tricks and…beatings.
"I know Sirius Black! He
goes to my school! He's actually one of my friends!"
"What a small world!" Jade
smiled whilst keeping her eyes on the road. Petunia frowned.
"A small, small world."
She snarled through clenched teeth.
As soon as they arrived
home Lily was trampled by her two collies, Dava (female) and Wishaw (male).
"Get down!" she screeched
after being attacked and kissed with full force. "Yes I'm home." She patted
both their heads and then whispered to her mother. "Where are Dava and Wishaw
going for the summer?"
"With you to the Blacks."
That reminded Lily and she bolted out the door to the neighbors' house. She
knocked and waited for a response. The door opened and there stood two
identical girls who were about nine. Lily smiled sweetly.
"Hi! I'm Lily; I'll be
staying here over the summer. Can you please get your brother for me?"
"Go get Siri, Lori." One
of the girls walked off into the house. "I'm Tori, my sister's name is Lori and
my mom and dad's names are Daniel and Missy."
"Nice to meet you." She
held out her hand, waiting for Tori to take it. She smiled and vigorously shook
Lily's hand, just when Sirius appeared at the door. He stared in disbelief and
Lily, and then grinned.
" LIL!" he shouted,
pulling her into a bear hug.
"Hi Sirius! Guess what?"
"What?"
"You're my new neighbor!"
"You're kidding!?"
"Nope! I live right
there." She pointed to her large house "And will be staying here over the
summer."
"What?"
"My mum and…" She made a
grimace to show her dislike, and Sirius knew whom she was talking about.
"Petunia, are going to the Mediterranean so you're stuck with me, Dava and
Wishaw."
"Who?"
"My dogs!"
"I knew that." She smiled
and hugged him again.
"Listen, I got to got
pack, but I'll see you later ok?"
"Ok." She kissed his cheek
and the skipped back to her own house. Sirius watched her go.
"Oh boy, this is going to
be interesting." He said to himself, "Very interesting."
