Disclaimer: I own nothing. Harry Potter and all the characters belong to
JK Rowling and I hope she doesn't mind I borrow them. I would also like to
say that the whole Prince of Griffindor thing belongs to the author of the
Gilded Lily, which I myself enjoy. I would like to say that I only
borrowed the title (Prince of Griffindor) and will not be anything like the
Gilded Lily.
A Life in a Moment
Chapter 16: End of Term and Summer!
"Bella, I am going to miss you sooo much!" I said hugging her.
"Same here Lils. Maybe you can come visit me over the summer. I'll owl ya."
"K" I smiled at her.
"Can you believe it no magic sheesh!" We giggled.
"Bye." She smiled waved and walked towards the gigantic fireplace so she can floo powder home. I started after her a minute only I headed to the barrier.
"Ooaf!" Something had caught my leg causing me to go flying face first into the ground my arms spread out like eagle's wings. "Potter!" I jumped up and was chasing after him.
"You gonna miss me Evans!" He was laughing.
"Wait till I get my hands on you… you little…" I pushed my way through the crowd bustling past too bulky guys who weren't too happy. I yelled my apologies. Potter had stopped running and was now standing in front of a regal looking elderly lady and a younger one who had just finished giving Potter a kiss. I stopped in shock. This must be the queen and Potter's mother. Oh dear that can't be good.
"Lily Evans I would like you to meet her majesty Queen of Griffindor and my mother the Princess of Griffindor." He smiled easily. My hands were itching to strangle him. I could hear Sirius sniggering not far away. I now noticed the bodyguards that I had ran past and the ones standing in a circle around us.
"Its so nice to meet you." I replied with a little curtsy. I noticed some girls to my left were doing the same thing. "I must apologize for my behavior." I looked down. They sure knew how to make you put your tail between your legs with just a look.
"Hahaha!" My head snapped up to see her majesty laughing. "Your apology is accepted but I believe you my dear James should be the one apologizing. You probably had this moment planned since Christmas." She said the second half to James. I could see his cheeks turn pink.
"Thank you your majesty, but I must excuse myself my parents are waiting." With that I curtsied again and left. Wait till I get my hands on you later Potter. Just wait. But then the sad though hit me that later would have to be next school year. With a heavy heart I pushed my cart through the barrier.
The sight of my smiling parents brought me out of my slump and the sight of Petunia almost made me groan. I will never have a break. During the school year I get Potter and Malfoy during the summer I get Petunia. With a laugh I got in our station wagon for the car ride home.

"Hey Lily!" I had been writing a letter too Bella when someone called from below my window. I looked down at my letter. Nah I'll finish it later. Hey its summer. I pushed back my chair ran and jumped on my bed bouncing over to my window. It was already open for a slight summer breeze.
"Who goes?" I called laughing.
"It is I Sir Jessie, wanna play some football?" I heard Jessie call from below. His face was lit with happiness.
"Sir Jessie, I barely got a hello! I haven't seen you in ten months!"
"So what are you still doing up there." He then bowed. "I am still forgetting to greet you aren't I." I merely nodded to him waiting for my greeting. We always played our acts me the damsel him the knight in shining armor. "Greetings to your fair lady, wanna play some football." He mocked.
"Yeah I'll be right down." I heard him laugh as I grabbed my sneakers. It had rained last night so it would be very messy out today just the way we like it.
"Lily try to stay partially clean!" My mom called from the kitchen. I skidded past the door and backtracked into it. I ran and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"I'll try mom." I smiled. She put her hands on my cheeks.
"Its so good to have you home dear. We missed you." I smiled. "You know what knock yourself out. Mud washes out." She smiled and shooed me out the door. I love my parents.

"Jamsie my boy, its good to be home." Sirius laughed even though this technically wasn't his home. It was James'. They were on brooms flying around James' private quidditch pitch.
"Yeah I'll admit this can be the life."
"Can be. Jamsie come on it is the life." He was still laughing. "Race you too the other end."
"Cheater!" Sirius had taken off early and now I had my work cut out for me but I could still beat him. I looked over my shoulder. A woman in dark blue robes with dark hair down to her shoulders was standing on the pitch. I recognized her at once and started to circle back. She was the perfect picture of a princess. Clothes perfect hair perfect, good posture, and even a warm but firm face.
"James darling, come down here!" Aww man now I am going to have to have tea with some foreign minister. It would really be a waste of a beautiful day. I flew down to my mother.
"Hi mother."
"Don't sound to happy to see me now do you?" I walked up to her and gave her the proper greeting after dismounting my broom.
"Mother I am always happy to see you."
"Well I am just telling you that Remus is here. I thought you three might like to go see the quidditch game being that I have acquired some tickets." She said smiling. I jumped up and down.
"Thanks mum so much!"
"Not a problem dear why don't you call Peter since I have four tickets okay." I gave her a hug. She smiled down at me she was still a lot taller than I was. It was still fairly early in the morning. It is not a normal thing for me to sleep in. Someone always has to come and wake me up so if I am not their when they look I figure they will just go away and leave me alone. This only worked for most people but certainly not my parents or Grandma. But then again I didn't want it to work on them.
"Oy Sirius, wanna go see some real quidditch?"
"Oh and James dear. Your father and I will have to be in France for the next two weeks." I just came down of my cloud and plummeted to the ground.
"Why?"
"We have some business with the minister. You father already left and I am to follow shortly. Will you be alright?"
"Of course mother." I couldn't help feeling dejected. Father didn't even say good bye. I probably won't see him all summer.
"I love you darling."
"I love you two mum." She kissed my forehead.
"Try not to get into too much trouble. You know Jenkins can only take so much." Every summer we terrorize the head butler. He is a stickler for the rules and breaking them makes him go all purple. Mum winked at me.
"Alright mum."
~ Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed. Coming soon… Second year hints… Who will make the quidditch team? Are James and Lily becoming friends and will they join the marauders on nighttime excursions? Sorry for the wait I was kind of in a writers slump I guess but I already finished the next chapter but I want to edit. Will hopefully be up soon! I already have the second year plot planned so it will once I get into it I should post more quickly!
Dragon Enchantress ~ I can be a confusing person so I am sooo happy that this makes sense! Thanks.
Elmonteprincess ~ I plan for this story to go through all seven years.
Kiriko ~ you are my first reviewer to review twice thanks so much! ~puddles~
