Author's Notes- I'm BACK! Yes, ok, to answer one question that made me
laugh (no offense) in my reviews. When is the "Lake" part of "Lily's Lake"
coming in: NEVER! I figured, if Dawson could have a creek, Lily could have
a lake. So, that's the title, don't ask why, cuz I don't know. So, this is
chapter 26! Ok, you got some preperations, a house, and an . *boo hoo*,
breakup. This time, however, it's NOT LILY AND JAMES! Anyway, read and tell
me what you think.
Disclamer- I don't own anything. I'm not getting paid. I don't own even the tiniest bit of Harry Potter (if I did would I be writing this, NO). I'm doing this for fun (I have way too much free time on my hands).
1 Lily's Lake
1.1 Chapter 26
The date was set. My wedding was set to take place in just a matter of a few weeks. And I was going crazy. My friends were somewhat helpful. Andrea helped me and took me to bridal stores, helping me chose from an selection of different dresses for her, Netta, and Anya, as well as my dress.
Netta and Andrea were going to be my brides-maids, and Anya was going to my maid-of-honor.
"Plan of action for today?" Netta asked, walking into the kitchen.
Anya sat on the counter, eating (so much like SIRIUS). I was doing the dishes, and Andrea was putting the dried dishes away.
"I'm taking you all to a bridal store, and we'll see if we can get some dresses today," Andrea (who was basically in charge of MY wedding).
"I've got a date with Sirius later tonight," Anya added.
"And I think that's all," I said.
"Good, because I have a ton of pictures to develop by Monday," Netta said, and went to the fridge.
She looked through it then turned to Anya.
"Anya, did you eat ALL the food?" Netta asked.
"No, I left you guys the eggs and the milk," Anya answered, "And you all ate some stuff for dinner last night."
"What, did you get up late last night and raid the fridge?" Andrea asked.
"Five times, she's not exactly quiet," I said.
"It's a wonder she can still fit into her clothes," Andrea said.
"Hey!" Anya said, and threw a chip at Andrea.
"Careful, I just washed my hair," Andrea warned.
"So you can do it again!" Anya cried, and started pelting Andrea with chips.
"This place is the best. My cousin got all her stuff from here, it's the best," Andrea said as we walked into a huge store.
I checked to make sure I had exchanged my money to muggle money so I could actually buy the dresses.
"Hello! How may I help you?" a lady asked, rushing right over.
"We're here for some wedding dresses," Andrea asked.
"And you are?" the lady asked.
"I am Andrea McKinnon. My friend, Lily Evans, is the bride. Anya Jones, here, is the Maid-of-Honor, and Netta Prewett and I are the Bridesmaids," Andrea answered.
"Right this way," the lady told us.
She led us through a whole bunch of dresses, first making Andrea and Netta try on dozens of different outfits, until I finally decided on the perfect dresses for them. Then Anya was attacked. Anya absolutely hated it all. She glared at the lady, and mimicked her behind her back. Finally, I decided on a dress for her.
"And the bride! Come, Miss Evans, we must find you the best dress!" the lady cried.
We left about five hours after we had entered, we left.
"LILS! ANDREA! NETTA!" Anya yelled, running into the living room, "Have you seen my hat?"
"Wouldn't it be with the rest of the hats?" I asked.
Anya thought about it for a minute, then ran back into her room. Andrea, Netta, and I sat on the couch, watching TV. Anya was getting ready for her date with Sirius. I looked up at the clock.
"Sirius is late," I said.
"What else is new?" Andrea whispered, not taking her eyes off the TV.
The door opened and Sirius ran in.
"Hey, Lils, Andrea, Netta," Sirius said, "Where's Anya?"
"Getting ready. ANYA! SIRIUS IS HERE!" I yelled.
"COMING!" Anya yelled from our bedroom.
I rolled my eyes.
"You might want to sit down, it could be a while, knowing Anya," Netta said, lamely.
"I heard that," Anya said, and walked into the room.
"Hey, Anya," Sirius said.
"Yeah, hey, Anya," Andrea, Netta, and I said, looking over the couch.
Anya glared at us, then turned to Sirius.
"I'm ready," Anya said.
Her and Sirius walked towards the door. Sirius left, and just as Anya was going to I called, "Now, remember, Anya, no snogging with the purple elephant!"
"LILY!" Anya yelled, and was pulled away by Sirius.
It was around eight o'clock, and Andrea, Netta, and I were still vegging out on the couch, eating popcorn and watching just about nothing (oh, the simple joys of life). We were, however, occupying ourselves by throwing popcorn at each other.
"Ok, who just hit me in the back of my head?" Netta asked, turning around.
There was the sound of a key in the door. Andrea looked up at the clock.
"Anya's home early. It's only eight. She usually doesn't come back until eleven," Andrea said.
Anya opened the door and walked in. We all started throwing popcorn at her from the couch. Anya didn't seem to notice.
She stood there, her eyes shut.
"Anya?" I asked.
The popcorn stopped being launched. Anya looked at us and I saw that she was crying.
"Sirius and I… we… we're… we… broke up…" Anya whispered.
The room was silent for a moment. Then Andrea, Netta, and I jumped up. I went over and hugged Anya, then sat her down on the couch. Anya started sobbing.
"It started off so nice! Then we started to fight, and… and…" Anya cried, and trailed.
James came over at ten o'clock, just as planned. Anya was in our room, still incredibly depressed, and I had begged Netta into doing the dishes for me, while Andrea dried.
"Hey, James. Ready?" I asked.
"Yeah, Ms. Wartholler is going to meet us at the place," James answered.
"Great. Just let me grab my coat," I said, and went over to Andrea and Netta, to whisper, "Make sure Anya doesn't do anything… you know… drastic."
"Lils, come on, she's Anya. She's not going to kill herself," Netta said, and laughed.
"I'm not talking about that. I'm saying make sure she doesn't go and storm the guy's apartment," I said.
Andrea and Netta laughed, and I left with James.
The house we were looking at was in a small town called Godric's Hollow. James and I apparated there, and started towards the house Ms. Wartholler was showing us. It was James who broke the silence.
"So, Anya's pretty sad, huh?" he asked.
I nodded, "Yeah. She's been crying all night. I just want to know what happened. Do you know?"
"Nope. Sirius just came back, and walked straight to his room, without saying a word. He was home early, so we knew something was wrong. When he asked him he just said that he and Anya broke up," James answered.
"I wonder what they were fighting about. Must have ben pretty bad," I said, looking up the street we were walking.
"Yeah," James agreed, "Those two have been together a bit longer than us. They should be engaged too."
"Well, since they are no longer together, maybe it's a good thing they aren't engaged," I said.
James nodded, and said, "The house should be right up here. Ms. Wartholler told me it was really nice."
We walked a little faster, and saw Ms. Wartholler's car parked out on the road. We walked up towards the house, and I smiled at the look of it.
It was on a country road, not a lot of people around, but not too far from town. It had two floors, and a white picket fence around the yard. There was porch with matching with shutters around the windows.
"Ah, Mr. Potter and Miss Evans!" Ms. Wartholler cried, running toward us.
She had aged since we last saw her, not too much, and her rather large *ahem* wart was still there.
James and I muttered greetings.
"Now, let's go inside and I'll show you around," she said.
While inside she began telling us things about the house, like so on and so forth. I wasn't listening, just looking. The house was small, but we didn't need a really big house anyway. It was perfect.
We walked around for a few minutes, and then Ms. Wartholler said she had another "client" to go see and said goodbye.
James and I walked back to the spot we would apparate from.
"How did you like it?" James asked.
"It's perfect, don't you think?" I asked.
James hesitated.
"Oh, come on," I said, and smiled.
"Maybe not perfect…" James said.
"Ok, maybe not perfect, but it's great. Don't you like it?" I asked, grinning at James.
"Yeah, it's nice. Do you really like it?" James asked.
I nodded.
"Well then, I'll call Ms. Wartholler tomorrow," James said.
We reached our apparating spot, and apparated back to the alley beside my apartment.
"Time for me to go comfort Anya again. I hope she hasn't killed anyone yet," I said.
James laughed, and kissed my goodbye.
I walked up the stairs and into the apartment.
"LILY! You're back!" Andrea called, running into the kitchen.
"How's Anya?" I asked, taking off my coat and hanging it up.
"Fine. At least she's eating. Netta ran off to the store, leaving me with her. She's stopped crying, at least. Now's she's badmouthing him," Andrea answered.
"There's Anya for you," I said, and grinned.
"I'm going to kill Netta for leaving me with her," Andrea told me.
"Please don't. I don't need two more of my friends fighting," I said.
"Fine, fine, I won't kill her," Andrea said, and followed me into my bedroom, where Anya sat at her bed, tearing up a picture.
"Anya, we found our house," I told her.
"Really? Cool. I'm just tearing up this picture, don't mind me," Anya said, and went back to tearing the picture.
I quickly took it out of her hands and looked at it.
"Hey!" Anya cried, "I was busy!"
"Anya, this is a picture of you and Sirius," I said.
"DON'T SAY THE NAME!" Anya yelled, and snatched the picture back.
"Fine, the Purple Elephant. Why are you wripping it up?" I asked.
"Cuz I feel like it," Anya answered, and ignored us as she continued to wrip up the picture.
Andrea and I rolled our eyes and left.
A/N- I know, another short chapter! But they aren't going to get much longer, unless for some odd reason, my left brain (or is it my right?) starts working again and I can think of some stuff to write… Anyway, enough with how I don't listen in art class… thanks to all the people out there who reviewed (and the person that shared the story with their classmates). Well, the next chapter is, duh, duh, duh, the WEDDING! Yea! Well, g2g. Bye.
