AN: Just for a change of pace, I'm doing a fic that isn't totally nuts! Anyhoo … this is in no way at all planned and I'm just typing as I go.

Summery: This is set while Lily (13) and James are in their third year at Hogwarts. Lily's mother and father had divorced two years earlier and Lily stayed with her unreliable, fun loving mother and Petunia (18) stayed with her strict, wealthy father. Sibling rivalry occurs while Petunia (in attempts to make peace with her sister) invited Lily to a mountain cabin that their father had rented for them. Unfortunately Lily didn't understand the point of the visit and tried to be as difficult as possible.

P.S. don't reveal plot holes!

~Disclaimer~ I do not, in any way, own anything recognisable in this fic. So, unless I decide to bring in a new character, that is nothing.

~Meeting Again                    Here At Last

Petunia heard a faint knocking on the door that pulled her out of the book that she was so deeply absorbed in. She nearly threw the book across the room as she leaped out of the couch to answer the door.

'It's Lily! She's here!' Petunia thought excitedly as she pulled the door open as fast as it would allow. On the other side of the door was, in fact, Lily. But also four guys and three girls.

Petunia looked at them.

They looked at Petunia.

Petunia looked at Lily.

Lily looked back.

Petunia opened her mouth to talk. And closed it again.

Petunia opened her mouth to talk again, but changed her mind again.

Three of the guys started to snicker.

Petunia began to speak, "Uhh … Lily? I thought … well … I thought it was just going to be you coming …"

Lily looked at Petunia in disbelief.

It was the Christmas holidays and somehow Petunia had managed to get her hands of a luxurious mountain cabin for two weeks. It was the best cabin on the whole mountain. It had a main room with a bearskin rug and a fireplace, three bedrooms with four-poster beds, a kitchen with all the latest kitchenware; it even has a laundry and a private bathroom for each bedroom. So Petunia decided to invite her kid sister to stay with her for some bonding time. Petunia hadn't seen her sister since she moved out 2 years ago and Lily had started at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, You see.

But by 'bonding time' Petunia meant that it was just 'Lily and Petunia time'.

But Lily obviously thought that it meant 'Lily and seven of her friends at Petunia's cabin time'.

Petunia was not impressed.

"Petunia! Don't be such a stick-in-the-mud!" Lily muttered to her friends just quiet enough for Petunia to hear an incoherent mumble.

"Oh, fair enough … come on in out of the cold! You must be freezing! Come! Sit by the fire! Would you like some hot chocolate?" Petunia politely asked as the eight kids piled their bags and cotes into her arms.

The kids all sat by the fire in a semi circle and talked loudly.

15 minutes later Petunia walked in with hot chocolate with marshmallows and biscuits. She passed around the hot chocolate before collapsing into the couch and inspecting her 13-year-old sister.

Lily had grown. Her curly red hair had been straightened out somehow and her creamy complexion had been covered with foundation and thick, black eyeliner. Not at all what Petunia had expected. And she was just about to notice a certain guy with jet-black hair and blue-green eyes with his arm tightly clasped around her sisters' waist when Lily suddenly turned around and yelled "STOP STARING AT ME!"

Petunia jumped slightly at this sudden outburst, "I haven't seen you in 2 years, and you don't even say hi, I'm just seeing what you're like and you're yelling at me?"

Lily didn't reply, she just continued to defrost by the fire, slightly put-off by her older sisters attempts at forgiveness.

After 20 minutes of silence, Lily finally stated very plainly and simply, "You know, I don't even want to be here … mum made me, she thought 'it would be good if us sisters kept in touch' but I cant believe you went with *him*"

"Lily, I went with dad because I've always been closer to him than mum, you were always mums favourite, you were always both their favourite because you were a witch, and I didn't hold that against you, but you were staying with mum so I went with dad." Petunia said without raising her voice above a whisper.

"So you went wherever I wasn't?" Lily yelled at her sibling.

"You know that's not what I meant, Lillian." Petunia said through gritted teeth.

"Don't call me Lillian, you *know* I hate it."

"My room is the door at the end of the hall, and that is where I'm going right now, under no circumstances are you to go in there without knocking and getting a 'come in' first" Petunia said bitterly and walked to her room with her head hung.

"Under no circumstances are you to go into my room without knocking and getting a 'come in' first!" the boy with jet-black hair and sapphire blue eyes mocked.

Petunia soon learnt that her dearest Lillian was seeing the boy with jet-black hair and blue-green eyes (James), his best friend was the boy with jet-black hair and sapphire blue eyes (Sirius), he was seeing a girl with strawberry blonde hair and grey/blue/brown eyes (Beccy), her best friend was the tallish girl with deep ocean blue eyes and golden blonde hair (Hailey), her boyfriend was tall with tan skin, and chocolate brown hair and eyes (Mathew). The other two were Remus (tall with sandy blonde hair and green eyes) and Bella (tall with silvery blonde hair and matching eyes).

Petunia had a feeling that Lillian, Beccy and James were trying to match-make Remus and Bella. But Petunia had learnt not to rely on feelings, hunches, superstitions, her mother and miracles.

Petunia stayed in her room until she realized that Lillian had left, skiing she supposed, when she came out to continue to read her book, only to jump and get ready to run back to her room at the slightest sign that they were coming back.

How she was going to survive two weeks with this brat that had replaced her sister, she'll never know.

AN: I would just like to know if anyone reads this at all … please just submit a review saying 'The quick dog jumped over the blind monkey' if you liked it and 'The blind monkey attacked and killed the quick dog' if you didn't.

You don't really have to say that … it'd just give me a quick laugh if you did.

Review: you *know* it will haunt you if you don't.
