Chapter Two
Jillian, Lily and Remus laughed hysterically all together as they stepped off the train. "That was so funny! Do it the next time you have nothing else to occupy yourself with. Owl me when you get to do it, Remus," Lily said, right before they went through the barrier. Feeling left out, Jillian added, "Yeah, let us know when you do. You have my address?" Remus nodded. "Of course I do. We used to write to each other all the time, remember?" "Right! How did I forget that?" Jillian hit her head with her hand. Lily looked around the crowd for her parents until she found them. "Hey Jillian! My mum and dad are over to the right out there, come on!"
Lily turned to Remus. "Do you want to meet my parents before we leave?" Remus, who was looking for the other three Marauders, was caught by surprise when Lily dragged him over to her parents. "...well, you'll have to meet them eventually. Mum, dad, this is Remus Lupin, one of my good friends at Hogwarts." Lily's mother was a tall, easygoing woman, somewhat like Lily but instead had brown hair and blue-greenish eyes. "Remus Lupin? Yes- I believe Lily has told us things about you, and I finally get to meet you in person!" "Erm... the pleasure's all mine. I've heard loads about you from Lily," Remus replied shaking hands with both her mother and father. Where Lily's mother was wearing casual clothes, Lily's father wore an office work outfit but just a bit casual. Mr. Evans nodded his head amiably at Remus. "Nice to meet you. Same year as Lily?" Remus replied, "Same year and same house."
Remus then felt hands fall on his shoulders and turn him around. The three other Marauders had found him. "Hey Remus, sorry about the blowup in the compartment..." Then, Lily, who was introducing her mother to some of her other friends, saw the Marauders talking to her father. She excused herself from her group and walked over to the other. "Hello, James, Peter and Sirius. Met my dad already, have you? Dad, they're the other three Marauders." Sirius looked at Lily. "You tell your parents all about us? Lily, I feel so loved!" Sirius then enthusiastically and tightly hugged her. "Lily! We must go now, your father has to run an errand before the store closes in half an hour," Mrs. Evans called. "Coming mum," Lily answered back, releasing herself from Sirius' arms. "Okay guys, keep in touch over break. I really have to go now with Jillian," Lily said to the Marauders.
"Why's Jillian going with you?" questioned Peter. "Sleepover, that's all I'll say for now... bye guys!" Lily waved wtih Jillian and both girls disappeared into the bustling crowd. "Why a sleepover when they've been sleeping in the same dormitory for the past 4 years? Girls." James shook his head in confusion as the gang split way to meet their respective parents. An hour later, Lily and Jillian were seated comfortably on mats in Lily's room giggling over Petunia, who was caught kissing her current boyfriend, Tyler Blanks when they returned from Kings' Cross. Petunia had become infuriated at being discovered and locked herself up in her room. Tyler had already left the Evans' residence, even if Mr. and Mrs. Evans had taken it all in good-naturedly. Just as the two girls were slipping into their blankets, they heard an owl pecking at Lily's window. Lily opened her window and let the owl in. The owl dropped a letter in Lily's hands before setting itself on a chair. Lily checked the address from which it came from. "James sent me something at this time of night?? This'd better be worth it." She ripped the letter open , read the contents and laughed. "Jillian, check this out." Lily gave the letter to Jillian.
Lily and Jillian:
Don't you remember the homework assignments at all? I've asked every fourth year I know of and all of them said they already did their homework. I refuse to believe I'm the only fourth year that hasn't touched his homework yet. Give me the assignments, please!!!
Fellow Gryffindor and Friend,
James
Jillian was elated to see James' closing signature. "Did you read that, Lily??? Friend!!! I do exist in James Potter's world!!!" She punched her fist in the air. Lily laughed as she wrote back a reply.
James-
I don't know where you live, but it's nearly midnight, and we need to catch some shuteye. Can you just ask again tomorrow when I'm not as tired? You don't want me to send you the wrong assignment, do you?
-Lily
Lily gave the new letter to James' owl and let it back out her window. The owl returned a few minutes later with another letter.
Lily:
I thought you two are having a sleepover! Aren't you supposed to stay up past midnight? I live a 10 minutes drive from London; of course I'm in the same time zone as you are! Although my family's going to our summer home next week, we're staying there for the rest of the summer, and I need to get all the homework done before then! I'll pry the homework from you in an unexpected way before the week is up so beware...
James
PS- Don't have to send a reply to this, just go to sleep.
Lily was about to show that letter to Jillian as well but discovered Jillian had already fallen asleep. Lily put blankets on her and turned off the light. She had a strange dream while she slept. Lily was in a dark room trying to find her way out. There were two other people in the room with her, each coaxing her to follow them and not the other one. Before Lily could make her decision on whom to follow, she woke up to Jillian shaking her. "Hey Lil! Wake up! It's 8 in the morning already! And your mum's calling you!"
10 minutes later, Lily went down to the kitchen, where the rest of her family and Jillian were eating breakfast. The dream from last night made Lily toss and turn, so when Mrs. Evans saw Lily walk down the stairs, she wasn't pleased with what she saw. "Lily! What a mess you are! There's a party we're going to at noon today and I need you to look your best!" Lily blinked. "Mum... when I visited over Easter break, we went to loads of parties and you didn't care how I looked." Mrs. Evans paused for a moment then brightly said, "Well, today would be a good day to start thinking about it, right honey?" nudging Mr. Evans, who quickly nodded. Lily then leaned towards Jillian and whispered, "Mum and dad are up to something and I don't think I'm going to like it." Jillian whispered back, 'Yeah, your mum's generally not this cheery. Let's think of idea later." Lily nodded and sat down to eat her pancakes.
