If you don't review this story I won't have the drive to finish it! So please review..I make the stories up for you people!
She stared, in shock, at the letter, and turned to her grandmother when she came downstairs.
"What were you doing dear?"Molly came downstiars, and Lily quickly stuffed the letter into her pocket.
"Oh, nothing Grandmum...I just can't sleep...that's all.."she said quickly, nad Molly looked suspiciously at her.
"Oh, all right...just stay inside, mind you...it's dangerous after dark now.."she said, and Lily rolled her eyes, and looked around the kitchen. She actually had a real father...how could it possibly be Harry Potter???
She sat down and started to write a note back to him.
Dad,
I'm really glad I actually got to meet my real father. Mum always said
that you didn't want to be found. Now I understand why...you were dying...and
I imagine that there wasn't anyone to turn to was there? I'm sorry that
you had to go through that..along with all the things about Voldemort...Mum
told me to never be afraid of him...so I'm not. I really would like to
see you more often, perhaps in Hogsmede sometime? I'm going to Diagon Alley
to get supplies tommarow...maybe you could help me pick out a broom? That
was a very nice gift from you and I am sure that it will go to good use.
With love,
Lily Weasley
When she was finished, she tied the note to her owls leg and sent her off telling her to take it to Harry. She sat down at the kitchen table, and drank the hot coca she had been making, the letter from him on the table next to her. She picked it up and took it up to her room after she was finished. Maybe he didn't want to be found, and maybe she had to keep him from his past. She hid the letter in the bottom of her trunk, and got into bed, hearing her cousin snoring through the wall.
When Harry woke up this morning there was an owl hooting impatiently at his window, and he glanced up,"Hedwig?"he asked softly, and she flew onto his shoulder, giving him an affectionate nip with her beak. He took the letter from her leg, and opened it, reading it quickly, and getting dressed, waking up Dudley.
"Hey..Dudley..could you take care of the kids today? I have to go to Diagon Alley.."he said, and Dudley nodded sleepily and closed his eyes.
He got dressed quickly, and went off towards the Leaky Cauldron, going inside nad walking through quickly, trying to get to Quality Quidditch Supplies. When he got inside he saw Lily gabbing with one of her friends, staring at the brooms.
"I think this ones the best..though the Firebolt..really good...they haven't made a better one since..that's the one that I want.."she said, and he walked up to the counter.
"I need a firebolt..I'll pay whatever I need to.."Harry said, and had the broom in a minute, and walked over, and saw her friend.
"Lily..here...Merry Christmas.."he said, and she smiled widely.
"Mum's going to have a ruddy fit!"Lily said,"Honestly..me, getting a firebolt??"
"Who are you?"the girl asked.
"Oh...sorry...Miranda..this is my father..Harry..."she said offhandedly, and Miranda said his scar.
"Holy Cricket, you're Harry Potter!"she said, and Harry covered her mouth.
"Noone needs to know that.."he said, and Lily nodded.
"Exactly Randa...not untill it's time.."she said, and Harry smiled at her,"Feeling in the need for some candy? I'm just heading down to the candy shop to get some things.."he said.
"Definetly.."the girls said together.
"Now..never eat these..your uncle Fred might tell you its peanut brittle..but it's Cockroach Clusters.."Harry said, and pulled out two sugar quills.
"That should get you through Professor Snapes class.."he said, and they nodded.
"Dad..owl me..okay? I've got to meet Mum in the Leaky Cauldron..and I'm already late.."she said, and Harry nodded,"Write me first though..we need to use Hedwig..just your owl..because it'll slip out.."he said, and she hugged him.
"Thanks again..."she said, and Harry didn't see Ron coming when they walked in, and he stepped into the shadows.
"Lily Eliza Hermione Weasley where in god's name have you been...your twenty minutes late.." Ron said angrilly, and Harry took in a moment to look at Ron and how much he had changed over the years.
"Well, you see...I was..."she started, and looked at Miranda helplessly, and Ron saw the broom.
"How did you get a firebolt? Lily this is serious...I expect you to tell me right away.."Ron said, and Harry tried to stifle a laugh, he sounded just like Percy.
"Somebody bought it for me.." she said simply.
"Really Lily..stop lying.."Ron said,"How did you get the broom??"
"Stop it....It was a gift from an old friend from school.."Lily said angrilly.
"A gift from your old friend from school.."Harry corrected, and looked at them.
"Who are you?"Ron said.
"That's funny I knew who you were right away.."Harry said jovially, sitting down,"Well..best be going.."he said, and dissaparated with a pop.
"Who was that?"Ron said angrilly.."I don't know if this is your idea of a joke Lily.."
"Oh, it was nothing Uncle Ron..really.."Lily lied.
Sorry, it's really short...but
it'll get more interesting soon promise!
