Life of Lily
Disclaimer: You guys all know that this obviously belongs to J. K. except for the plot and a couple characters.
Chapter 7:
"Ahem all people who want to remain at Hogwarts during the Christmas vacation, you need to sign up.
Well board the Hogwarts Express on December 20."
Immediately chatter exploded around them. Lily felt a jab to the right of her. It was Sirius, "Are you staying at Hogwarts?" Lily's respond was immediate, "nope."
Bella sighed, "I have to stay at Hogwarts. I don't want to go home and be yelled at."
Fia raised an eyebrow, "Yelled at? Why would be yelled at.
Bella ducked her head slightly and whispered, "I've already gotten 394 detentions"
Remus pointed to James and Sirius, " We're staying here too. At this rate, we'll be the only people here."
Bella's eyes went as big as saucers, "I have to be stuck here with only the Marauders?" she asked motioning toward Remus, James and Sirius.
Peter who was sitting a couple chairs down from her glared at her trying to look dignified, "Excuse me, I'm a Marauder too."
Waving her hand dismissively, Bella said, "you're excused."
Peter glared at her and turned to speak to Sirius about some heroic thing that he supposedly did.

Lily sipped on a mug of hot chocolate leaned back into a puffy armchair reading Quiditch Through the Ages. She looked up to see Bella pleading to Fia.
"Fia PUH LEASE stay here with. Are you going to leave me to stay with those, those, jerks?" James and Sirius glared darkly at her. "Pleeeeeeease? Pretty please with sugar on top?" Fia looked helplessly at Lily. "Bella I can't becau-
"You have got to. How am I going to be sane?"
"You survived living with them for six years, you can live with them for a couple more weeks"
Bella looked aghasted at her, "I wasn't sane then either. Please you have got to stay with me."
Fia glanced helplessly around the room. She threw her hands up with helplessness. "Someone help me PLEASE!" she wailed.
Joey entered the common room to see Bella begging Fia to stay. Shyly he said to Bella, "I'll stay at Hogwarts if that's good enough for you."
"God bless you" Bella shouted she hugged a rather pleased Joey.
"You're off the hook Fia"
*
"Jeez, Bella I'm only leaving for a week and a half you don't need to cram my suitcase," yelled an exasperated Fia. Bella looked innocently at her, "I'm only helping you pack." She turned on Lily, "Righty, have you got your hairbrush? Shampoo? Toothbrush?" Lily rolled her eyes, "Yes, mother"
James grabbed their suitcases and hauled it down the stairs.
"Bye Fia, Bye Lily. Write me!"
*
"Lily honey! Over here" Lily turned to find her parents and her slightly ruffled looking sister. "Hello mum, dad! Hi Petunia!" Her parents led her toward the car. Petunia looked disgustedly at Lily, "Mum, What I'm I going to tell Vernon when he comes over for Christmas."
Lily gaped at Petunia. "w-who is V-ver-non?" she sputtered. Petunia looked haughtily back at Lily, " My boyfriend" Lily gasped, "Vernon? Isn't that Vernon Dursley? The bulky guy with a couple chins and no neck that lives down on Summer St.?"
"Lily," her mom glared at her warningly.
"All right" then she muttered under her breath, "what a jolly Christmas. Petunia and Vernon. Oh joy!"
Lily entered her house. Her mum and dad had really over done themselves this year. Christmas lights were hanging from every window. A huge Christmas tree was displayed in the corner of the living room cluttered with ornaments. Lily looked amusedly to see that her room had Christmas lights too.
Lily's eyes snapped open, "Christmas" she whispered under her breath. Realizing that it really was Christmas she leaped onto her bed, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!" From down the hall lily heard Petunia yell at her, "Shut the caterwauling will you? It's 5 in the morning!"
Lily looked at the pile of gifts that were crammed on the end of her bed. To her surprise a pure white baby owl was sitting on top of the mountain of presents. It had a Christmas ribbon tied on the top of its head. She picked up the owl and untied a small package and letter from its leg. The instant Lily removed the package, the small owl dove into her pillow making itself at home. The package and letter was from Bella:
Hey Lil!
Guess what? I'm still sane! The owl is for you. Name it whatever you want. By the way it's gal owl, kay? I'm guessing that you haven't opened the present so I won't give it away.
We went ice skating or something like that on the lake yesterday. Joey's a muggle and he taught us how to ice skwert. Ice sketing is a muggle sport right? Well anyhow, it's fun. Joey is good. He plays something called hockey. Have you ever heard of that? Why do muggles have so many sports? It confuses me. Anyhow yesterday was hilarious. James couldn't get the hang of ice skitting and he fell down. And man he fell hard! He fell right through the ice! It's too bad that the giant squid tossed him back out. I think James should have been left there to be rescued by a group of simpering Hufflepuffs. Don't you? Anyhow
MERRY CHRISMAS!!
Luv
Bella
Lily smiled she could imaging the giant squid flinging James out. She turned to the package and it turned out to be a delicate bracelet that had a pendant hanging on it with the word "bud" on it. A note fluttered out.
"Hey Lil! (Again) I've got a bracelet that says Best and I gave Fia one that says Forever, So it's Best Buds forever. Bye!"
James gave Lily a box of chocolate frogs that looked slightly suspicious so Lily put that aside. Lily opened the card from Sirius and was splashed by a wave of water. Sputtering Lily read the card:
Hey Lily!
MERRY WET CHRISTMAS. Haha Gotch ya! See ya in a couple days!
Lily opened the package to find a bag of Bertie Bott every flavor jelly beans.
Remus sent her a book of advanced charms. Peter gave her a tissue. (they aren't really good friends) Fia bought her a silk scarf to match Lily's cloak.
"Lily get your little ass down here now! It's breakfast!"
Lily groaned and reluctantly clambered down the stairs. "Merry Christmas Mum and Dad! Merry Christmas to you too Petty" Petunia turned bright red and snorted (like a horse), "Petty? Where did you get that? You better not call me that when Vernon comes."
"Now now girls, it's Christmas. Be happy. When is Vernon coming, dear?" asked their mum
Petunia smirked at Lily, "In t-," she gasped, "I better get ready, he's coming in two hours!"
Lily looked dumbstruck as her sister rushed out of the room to **get ready*
Two hours later, Petunia daintily ran down the stairs. Lily tried to stop herself from laughing. Petunia's face was caked with make-up. She had a revolting bright red lipstick on and blush on. She was wearing a bright green tube top and tight red pants. "If she goes out like, someone would probably give her money if she wasn't so revolting." Lily thought darkly.
Petunia smoothed down her hair when she heard the door bell ring, "How do I look mum?" their mum frowned at her. "Isn't that a little to revealing Petunia dear?"
Petunia merely opened the door. " Merry Christmas Vernon honey" she gushed. Vernon grunted in reply, "Merry Christmas"
Petunia led him in and the two of them occupied each other watching t.v. Lily rolled her eyes and went to her room to write a letter to Fia.
"Dinner's Ready!"
Lily sent out Fia's letter with Skipper, her new owl and slid down the stair rails. "Here mum!" Lily's mother turned and frowned, "Petunia and Vernon didn't seem to hear, go get them will you, dear?" Lily shrugged and went into the living room. Petunia and Vernon were sitting in the living room having a very good time and practically ignoring the blasting t.v. "DINNER!" Lily yelled and ran off.
Later at the dinner table, Petunia finally arrived looking very red and her make up was smeared. Lily tried to stifle a giggle. Vernon sat himself down by Petunia. When he sat down the chandelier swung a little. Halfway through the dinner, Skipper flew in dropping a letter on Lily's plate and sailed off toward the stairs. Petunia screamed and Vernon had turned white. "w- what was-s th-hat?" he stammered. Lily rolled her eyes, "It's an owl. Surely you've heard of an owl before?" Petunia screeched at Lily, "what is it doing in our house?" Lily hid the letter under her plate, "uh it was um passing by! How am I supposed to know? Mum can I be excused? I'm full." Before she answered, Lily zoomed up the stairs.
*
"Lily, dear, have you packed your shampoo? How about your toothbrush?" Lily sighed, "YES mum! Really, you're starting to sound like Storm!"
Lily's mum frowned, "Storm? Who's that, dear?"
Lily looked at her mum in disbelief, "A friend from Hogwarts."
"All right honey. We'll be leaving at 10:00 tomorrow okay?"
"Right"
Lily started cramming her stuff into a suitcase after she heard her mum close the door.
The next morning Lily gasped when she looked at her clock. It was 9:45. "Mother! Why didn't you call me!" Lily screeched jumping out of bed. Lily pulled on a pair of jeans and a white tee. She yanked her hair up and raced down the stairs dragging her suitcase behind her.
"Oh there you are sweetie! I was about to tell you it's time to go."
Lily snatched a slice of toast and raced outside to where her parents were waiting.
"Hurry! Drive faster! I have to get there before 11! Quick! Can you drive faster dad?"
At 10:45 Lily jumped out of the car. "Bye mum! Bye dad" Lily shouted as she ran toward the barrier. "Bye Petty," she yelled as an after thought.
Lily went through the compartments looking for Fia. Fia wasn't there so Lily settled down in an empty compartment. The train started moving when the door opened. Snape entered the compartment.
"Why, it's Evans. Maybe I should tell Malfoy." As if on cue, Malfoy entered the compartment with a smirk on his face.
"Evans, so there's no one to help you eh?"
Lily looked nervously at him and slid her hand in to her pocket where her wand was. Bravely she glared at Malfoy, "What do you want Malfoy?"
Malfoy's smirk grew wider, "You know what I want honey."
"Actually I don't know and I don't want to know. Why don't you get out of here?"
Snape looked menacingly at Lily and made a step toward Lily. Malfoy motioned him back.
"Let's not get violent."
"I agree"
Malfoy and Snape swiveled around.
"Hey Lily!" It was Fia. She snapped her attention back to Malfoy. "You better get out of this compartment quick Malfoy," she glared at him menacingly "I've been taking lessons from Bella"
At these words Malfoy rushed out of the compartment beckoning Snape to come with him.
"Fia! Thank god you're here!" I was looking for you!
"Looking for me? I was looking for you!"
~*~
"Fia! Lily! Over here" Lily turned around to see Bella waving crazily at them. James, Remus, Sirius, and Joey were with them.
"Hey y'all!" Fia answered cheerfully.
"Excuse me would you lot please move out of the way" came a haughty voice. It was Malfoy and his gang. Sirius rolled his eyes, "Too fat to fit through that 5 feet space?"
Malfoy sneered at them. Beside him Avery and Nott, two other evil Slytherins, cracked their knuckles and looked menacingly at him.
"Ohh look it's Malfoy," Bella smiled sweetly at him. "Nice to meet you too, um Avery, Nott"
Malfoy paled a little.
James frowned at Malfoy, "What do you want?"
"Nothing at all." Malfoy turned and left
Lily grinned evilly at his retreating back, "I say, why don't we dye his hair purple and put a sign on his back."
Bella looked at her approvingly, "That's my girl, Lily"
