~Chapter 2~ The Birthday Gift's
So they headed to the ice cream shop and bought ice cream cones. Lily and James got strawberry and chocolate (double scoop so they got two flavors). Ashley got mint chocolate chip. April and Sirus got chocolate chip cookie dough. While Hope bought peanut butter cup and Remus and Casey got Vanalla with gummy bears. Peter, who got his last, go a twist of vanalla and chocolate.
After they got their ice cream they went and sat at two tables outside. The first table held Lily; James, next to Lily; Hope, across from Lily; and Remus, next to Hope. At the second table it went April and Sirus, with Peter and Ashley next to Sirus, and lastly Casey between April and Ashley.
"So boys, what are you doing tonight?" Hope asked eyeing Remus.
"Nothin, much we have no plans. How about you girls?" Remus answered.
"Nothin much. After dinner we're going to the movies." April chimmed in from the other table.
"What movie?" James inquired.
"Oh, um...8 Mile with Eminem in it." Lily answered.
"Well maybe we will just have to go with you." James smiled.
"If you wish," came the casual reply from Lily.
"Oh... Look at the time. I have to go somewhere really quickly. Stay here. I'll be back before you leave. I promise. Just stay here, Lily. Okay." James jumped up and started to run down the alley.
"Oh shoot. Remus and I have to go do something. We'll be back." And with that Remus and Hope were gone as well.
"Sirus, Peter, don't we have some where to go as well?" "Oh. Yeah. We'll be back Lily." So Lily was left with Ashley and Casey, but not for long.
"Ashley I need to use the bathroom. Will you come with me?" Casey said with a wink she hoped Lily didn't see. But Ashley took the hint and the two quickly left.
Lily was left all alone. Waiting for her friends to come back and extremly confused. After about fifteen minuets James came walking up the Alley with a cage and a maroon cover on it. He handed it to her.
"Happy Birthday, Lily." He had bought her a beautiful snowy white owl.
"What's her name?"
"I was gonna let you name it." He answered.
"How about Eros?" The owl hooted softly.
"I think she likes it. I hope you like her." James said.
"Oh, James I love it." She sat Eros' cage on the table. "Thank you." She said as she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him.
"Wow." He said, afterwards. It was the first time Lily had ever kissed him like that, let alone anyone else. It had been so deep and passionate.
After he had said that Remus and hope walked up hand- in- hand. They were both carrying small bags.
"Happy Birthday, Girl." Hope chimmed as soon as she was close enough. "Yah Lil. Happy Birthday." Remus said after Hope. As soon as they were close enough they handed Lily the bags they were carrying. She opened Hope's first. It had a pair of emerald earrings with a matching bracelet. Next she opened Remus's gift, which was the matching necklace and ring to the gift she got from Hope.
"Oh thank you, you guys. It's gorgeous. I love them." She give them both a hug. "Glad to hear it. Now where did you..." But Hope didn't finish. She was interupted by April yelling, "Hey Lily. We're back." "Hey guys." She said.
Then she noticed the package. "What is that?" Then April said, "Oh this." "Happy Birthday Lily." The three said in unison. Then they handed her the package. It was a big box. She set it on the table behind her and next to Ero, who hooted softly.
She opened the box to find a really nice gift. In th box was a Pughsweeper, with Lily's name on the handle in gold lettering. A Pughsweeper is the newest broom. They were to be released tomorrow. She also found a broom shinning kit and a bunch of candy. Mixed in with all the different types of candy were jokes. But tere was also a few little things for brooms and stuff like that, including a set of wizard chess pieces. Lily loved it. "Thank you. There are so many things in here. I love it."
Then James asked, "How?" eyeing Lily's broom. "Our secret." Peter grinned
"Hey everyone. Whats up?" asked Ashley pretendingto be confused.
"Nothin much. We were just giving Lily her birthday gifts." "Oh you mean like these, Sirus?" Casey smiled, pulling out two bags from her coat and handed them to Lily. "Happy Birthday Lils." The girls had said.
She had opened the bags. Inside there was a magazine with a letter attached. A few books the girls thought were interesting and like twelve friend ship candles. One for each month of the year, labeled. "Thank you everybody. This is the best birthday ever." With that she smiled at James and held his hand.
"Okay, I tried to ask this earlyer. But..." Hope looked at April, Peter, and Sirus. "I was interupted. Where did the owl come from?" "Oh, Eros came from James. That was his gift to me for my birthday." "Okay. What else did you get?" Ashley asked. "Well Hope and Remus got me a set of emerald earrings with a matching necklace, bracelet, and ring. From Sirus, April, and Peter I got candy, jokes, nick nacks and a Pughsweeper, which comes out tomorrow. And then came my gift from you two." She answered.
"What time is it James?" April asked.
"Quarter to five."
"So ... we have fifteen minuets left. Who wants another ice cream cone?" April had continued after James.
They all agreed so they went and got ice cream again. They all got the same kinds as last time, and sat in the same spots again.
"So ..." Lily started. "Are you boys gonna go to the movies with us?"
"Yes." James answered and then kissed her cheek.
Well at five o'clock the five girls were standing outside "The Leaky Cauldron" waiting for Mrs Evans. When she arrived the girls put there stuff away and got in the car.
"So, Lily dear, what did you do?" Her mum asked.
"Well we went and found the girls' friends to find that I knew one of them. And..."
"Who did you know and how?"
"James Potter from the boot camp last year. But as I was saying. Agter we found the boys we went shopping. We finished around four, so we went to get ice cream. Whein it was gone everyone took off in different directions giving me instructions to stay put. James left first, then Remus and Hope followed by Sirus, Peter, and April, then lastly by Ashley and Casey. They went and got me my birthday gifts. I got Eros, my owl, from James; a pair of emerald earrings with a matching bracelet, ring, and necklace from Hope and Remus; from Sirus, Peter, and April I got a Pughsweeper, new broom, candy, nicknacks, and jokes; and then from Casey and Ashley I got a few books, a magazine, and a friendship candle for every month of the year."
"Sounds wondreful dear." The rest of the trip home was silent except for the radio.
