WWiBL? Chapter 5

"Lily, what's wrong? We're going to the Quidditch World Cup with our best friends, we get to leave the Dursley's for the rest of the summer, and we have some of the best seats during the game! What the heck is wrong?" said Harry. He looked stunned that someone could look so sad when they have so many reasons to be happy. "God, I'm barely able to sit down and she looks like she's on the verge of crying!" he thought.

"Er, Ron's dad is going to try and come by Floo powder. You know that the fireplace is boarded up don't you? The worst part is, Fred and George are going to bring something they've invented and it's going to make you get just one tissue this Christmas! I know seeing something bad happen to Dudley is good, but don't you want something better than a tissue? If that didn't happen, they wouldn't have a reason to give us something terrible." Explained Lily.

"Lily, they always give us something terrible. Remember when Dudley got the Playstation, I got the receipt and you got the price tag?" said Harry. She didn't remember that, of course, but nodded anyway.

"What are they going to do to Dudley, anyway?" asked Harry. A big smile crept onto her face. She knew she had to tell him before she busted out laughing.

"They're going to give him something they've invented called a Ton Tongue Toffee and it's going to make his tongue swell to about four feet long." Said Lily. She busted out laughing so hard she almost fell off the bed. Harry started laughing too and fell backwards on the bed laughing.

"Read...Stop laughing for a second...Read my letter to Sirius...Oh, shut up Lily...See if my letter's okay." Said Harry. It was hard for him to say it because Lily was still laughing very hard. She picked up the letter and said, "It's just fine. Let's both go down and tell, I mean, ask the trolls if we can go to the World Cup."

"Okay, you go first. I'll take up the rear while you cover the front. My code name is Prongs. What's yours?" he asked and then started smiling very big at Lily.

"I'll be, um, Moony! Let's go! You'll have to carry the heavy ammunition because I'm carrying the top-secret papers from headquarters. Let's go," she said. Harry stood up and acted like he was caucing a very big gun and said, "Ready Moony?"

"Ready Prongs. Move out troops," and they walked out of the room.

"Er, Uncle Vernon, we just got this letter from, Mrs. Weasley. She's our friends' mom." Said Lily nervously. She didn't know what to say really so she just said that and sat down, waiting for him to read the letter.

After a few minutes he looked up and said, "She's a dumpy sort of woman, too many children and red hair?" he said.

Lily almost said, "Her, dumpy? Go look at Dudley!" but she held her tongue and they both nodded.

Uncle Vernon looked back down at the letter, "Quidditch, Quidditch, what is this rubbish?" he asked

"It's a sport played on a broom," Lily blurted out. Harry looked at her and then turned back to Uncle Vernon.

"All right, that's enough. What does she mean by 'the normal way'?" he spat out.

"By an owl like she sent that by. You know, owl post used by wizards," Blurted Lily once again. She knew she should learn to hold her tongue in front of him but if the book were right, Harry would say something in a minute.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to mention that un- naturalness under my roof? You both sit there, in the clothes Petunia and I have put on your ungrateful little backs---"

"No you didn't! Mrs. Weasley bought these for us last year! I'm going to have to wait about 10 years before I can fit what you gave me because you didn't give it to me until after Dudley got done with it!" yelled Harry. "Yup, I knew he'd say it," thought Lily.

"I will not be spoken to like that!" said Uncle Vernon. He was literally trembling in rage.

"Okay, we can't go. Can we go back up to our room now? I want Lily to help me finish a letter to Sirius, our Godfather." Said Harry. Lily knew these were the magic words. Uncle Vernon turned a funny color and then said, "You're writing to him, eh?"

Vernon thought he sounded calm but actually he sounded like a five year old who's just been told he's not getting that special present for Christmas.

"Er, yeah. It's been a while since he heard from us, and, you know, if he doesn't, he might think we're being mistreated or something." Said Harry, calmly.

Uncle Vernon suddenly looked as thought Sirius might pop up at any second and then said, "Oh, all right. You can go to this stupid, this ruddy, this World Cup thing. You write and tell these, Weasley's they're to pick you up. And you better be staying there the rest of the summer. And tell your---your godfather you're both alright and you're going."

"Okay then," said Lily and they both jumped up and walked out of the room. They practically ran up the stairs and when they got to their room it was chaos.

"Oh my god! We're going Harry! We're going! YAY!" Lily yelled. They were both jumping up and down on her bed and hugging they were so happy. They stopped to catch their breath and Lily said, "You go finish the letter to Sirius and I'll write a note back to Ron."

"Okay, show me yours when you're done and I'll show you mine. Well Moony, I'd say that mission was a success. And you?" he said playfully.

"A great success, Prongs! Now let's get to writing!" she said. Lily was so happy she could hardly stand it.

(A/N) I know, what a great climax at the end of chapter 4 to end in such an idiotic thing like that. But I happened to have a bad case of writers block, so I hope you'll forgive me.
