Chapter 7
(C) Refer to chapter 1
The next day was hectic. Lily and Harry were running around cleaning up their stuff and packing. Lily kept getting confused on what was hers, which annoyed Harry very much. Of course, he didn't know that she had never been here before. By 4:50 everyone was in the living room waiting. Lily and Harry were sitting on their trunks while Dudley took up the whole couch and Vernon and Petunia sat together on the love seat. Lily couldn't see why Petunia had married such an ugly, mean man.
By 5:05 everyone was jumpy. Uncle Vernon had the paper in front of his face and was pretending to read but you could tell he wasn't. His eyes weren't moving at all. Dudley was sitting down clutching his behind while Aunt Petunia walked around straightening stuff and dusting. Lily and Harry left the room to sit on the stairs because the tension was too great.
At 5:15 Lily started feeling anxious. She knew this is how it happened in the book but, what was taking so long? Now that she was living it instead of reading it, she felt very nervous.
"No consideration at all."
"We might've had an engagement."
"Maybe they think they'll get invited to dinner if they're late." Lily heard some one stand up and start pacing. "They'll take those two and leave, there will be no hanging around. That's if they're coming at all. Probably..." Vernon trailed off and Lily heard a car pull up.
"Ah, they're here," said Harry. They both ran to look out of the windows beside the door. There, outside, was a red van. It was very big and bright and the windows were tinted. Mr. Weasley, Ron, Fred, and George all stepped out. They walked up to the door and Mr. Weasley didn't have time to knock before Harry pulled open the door and said, "Hey! Er, Come in?" and all four of them walked into the living room. Lily noticed Ron, Fred, and George all staring at her in amazement.
Lily walked slower so she could talk to Fred and George. "Fred, please don't give Dudley a Ton Tongue Toffee. You'll get into trouble!" she said. They stared at her in even more amazement.
"How'd you know we had those?" said Fred. He was surprised she knew what they were. As far as he had known only George and himself knew they had them. Well, their mother knew they had made them before, but supposedly they had all been thrown away AGES ago.
"Paying attention in Divination classes. Please don't, I don't want you two to get in any trouble," she pleaded and looked at them with the cutest face she could muster.
"Oh, Lily, you always were a good at making us change our mind, I guess we'll just give him something else," said George. He looked at Fred and Fred nodded his head.
"Do you have a Canary Cream on you? That'll be good!" she said. They once again increased their amazement.
"God Lily, you're good. Okay, we'll use one of those. I have a few wrapped up in my pocket," said Fred.
"Well, let's go in there before somebody gets suspicious of foul play or anything," she said and winked. They followed her into the living room.
When she walked in, she noticed Dudley leaving the room, clutching his bottom still. Mr. Weasley looked like he thought the boy was crazy or something and then said, "Lily, good to see you. You've grown up this summer!" exclaimed Mr. Weasley.
"Er, yeah, I guess I have," she said. She looked around and Ron was staring at her. "Oh my, Ron looks, er, quite good," she thought. Ron was taller than her with flaming red hair (of course) and a lot of freckles.
"So, where are your things?" asked Mr. Weasley. Harry suddenly came to attention and said, "Both of our trunks are upstairs and packed. Would you like me and Lily to go and help get them?" he asked. Ron stood up.
"I'll help Lily get them if she wants," he said. Lily nodded her head and showed Ron how to get up to their room although he already knew the way from their second year he had rescued Harry (and Lily, she supposed) from a jail-like room.
"Well, I'll get mine and you can get Harry's," she said. Ron walked over the empty cage sitting on top of Harry's trunk and said, "Do you have room in your trunk for this?" She opened hers up.
"I've got room right here beside my books," she said, noticing an empty space.
"Okay," and he put the cage inside the trunk. His hand 'accidentally' hit hers when he put it away, making his face turn quite pink for a few seconds.
They made their way downstairs carrying the trunks. When they arrived Lily saw Fred on the floor picking up small plastic packages with little cream filled cookies inside. Lily knew what they were and suddenly saw Dudley sneak forward and grab one, which Fred had 'conveniently' forgotten to pack into his pocket.
While Mr. Weasley attempted small talk with the Dursley's, Dudley opened and ate the little cookie. Lily watched and nudged Ron in the side. "Watch Dudley," she mouthed. He turned to look at the enormous boy. Dudley sat up looking triumphant when there was a small pop and a giant, yellow canary was in his place.
Petunia jumped forward and yelled, "What have you done to my baby?" In a few seconds he turned back into his old fat self and was hugging his mother and crying. Ron, Harry, Fred, George, and Lily couldn't take it any longer. They ran outside with the trunks and into the van. Once inside, they were all laughing so hard they could barely stand it.
