Lizzie's note- Now that spring has been upon us for a while, I haven't been
writing as much as I'm supposed to. Oh well. I'll make it up to you guys
later. Thanks to Shorti, Tiffgpower, and Angelxd14 for reviewing. Oh,
Angelxd14, did you mean 'If you're not the One?' Now, on to the story!
MUSH!! (Sorry...)
Disclaimer- we own what we own, don't what we don't. We especially own Candy, Summer, Autumn, Madame Soarell, Kylie, and the Malfoy sisters. Hehe, aren't they evil?
Chapter 9: I'm FREEE!! And what now?
"It all fit in the trunk in September!" Candy groaned. She was trying to stuff all of her things into her trunk, but it wasn't quite working. It seemed that she had gotten a *few* extra things from her, as she called it, adoring fans.
"Oh, move over!" Summer sighed, shoving Candy out of the way. "Watch the pro!" she got up on the bed and crawled over to Candy's trunk. After shutting it as much as she could, she plunked down on it, bounced up and down for a couple of seconds, and then buckled it shut.
She hopped down and went back to resuming packing her own trunk as if nothing had happened.
"Hey Sum, where are you and Autumn going to stay over the summer?" Lily asked, packing the last of her robes into her trunk.
"Oh, well... you'll see," she hesitated, not wanting to give the secret away. "Now, I'll be back. I'm gonna bring these down to the Common Room."
An hour later:
"Only just a little while longer and I'll be free! Freee!!" Lily screeched, dancing around the tight train compartment and looking into the happy faces of her friends.
Candy was seated on one side of the compartment, next to the window. Sitting next to her was a flustered looking Summer with her Transfiguration book floating in front of her and a hard, invisible desk that she was writing on in front of her. The rest of that bench was empty because that's where Lily used to be sitting. Remus was sitting on the floor in between the benches, trying to dodge a flying Lily.
Across from the girls were James and Sirius. Peter was off some where, and Lily thought he was talking to Autumn.
"SUMMER! THE HORROR!!!" she suddenly yelled, causing Summer to disrupt her ink bottle, spilling it all over Remus.
"Who what where when why?" Summer stuttered, trying to stop the remainder of the ink from spilling out.
"You're doing HOMEWORK and we've only been out of school for ONE hour!" Lily shrilled, pulling the textbook away from the studious girl. Summer sighed and looked pleadingly at her.
"Well, I just wanted to get a head start!" she whined, upset that she had been interrupted in the middle of a sentence. The room busted out laughing.
"Summer, doing homework, and MAD she was interrupted?" Candy gasped out before bursting into a fit of giggles.
"Well, I have nothing better to do, and I thought that if I got it up faster, then I'd have.oops," she responded, barely catching herself.
"Summer Dippet, I challenge you to a game of Wizard's Chess so you won't do your homework," Remus suddenly called out, changing the subject and trying to rub off most of the ink. Summer raised an eyebrow but agreed.
She vanished the invisi-desk and put her book and reading glasses in her bag. "Prepare to die, Lupin," she hissed, rubbing her hands together.
James laughed. "Summer, I think you're the one who's going to die. Remus is a pro."
"Oh, we'll see!" she responded.
The rest of the train ride was spent watching Summer and Remus try to defeat each other at chess. Then, before they knew it, the Hogwarts Express rumbled into King's Cross Station.
They stood up and joined the crush of students moving out. Lily heard a sniff behind her, and saw Summer holding back tears. Lily smiled and went to put a shoulder around the petite girl's shoulders. "Come on Sum," she encouraged, pushing Summer out into the station.
Lily watched James go over to a pair of tall adults. She watched him talk to them, trying to explain something, all while trying to find her parents. She saw Candy too couldn't find hers.
James hurried over and made a beeline for Summer. He bent down and whispered something into her ear and pointed to the couple. She nodded and walked over to them. Then he turned and addressed the group.
"You guys are probably wondering what that was all about," he paused, stopped by the duhs of the group. "Well, you guys are going to stay at my house over the summer. Yes, my parents have already talked to your parents, and all of them said yes, 'cept Pete's. Sorry Peter, your mom said that you have to stay at your Grandma's."
Peter sighed and shook his head. "Same old same old. When will it be over? See you in September!" he hugged the girls then left, heading toward a short, plump witch.
James motioned to them to follow them. Summer was in a conversation with the lady, who Lily assumed was Mrs. Potter. Autumn was standing behind Summer, looking around for her Ravenclaw friends.
"James!" Mr. Potter called out, waving him and his friends and him over.
"Hey!" James replied. "These are Candy and Lily," he replied, pointing to each of the girls.
"Are we all here?" Mrs. Potter asked, breaking her conversation with Summer.
Summer looked around. "Where's Autumn? I could have sworn she was here a second ago!" she protested. "I'll be riiiiiiiiiight back," she called, melting into the crowd.
Even though Lily, her friends, and the Potters couldn't see her, they could certainly hear her. She smiled as she heard what her short friend said.
"Move over, girl on a mission here! Excuuuuuuuuse you, buddy, your in my way! Just because you're a like twenty feet taller than me doesn't mean you can boss me around like that!" They heard a grunt, and watched, terrified, as a portion of the crowd fell over. "Whoopsi, did I do that?" they heard Summer innocently say. (O :-)) That was too much, and Lily burst out laughing. If anyone had told her that the small, fragile looking girl named Summer could push or shove anyone, she would have laughed. But hey, that's Summer for ya!
Five minutes later a ruffled looking Summer emerged towing an angry looking Autumn. "All ready now!" she exclaimed. Mrs. Potter nodded, trying to hold back a laugh and led group, with their owls, trunks, and trolleys, through the station to the parking lot where two black ministry cars were waiting for them.
Lily deposited her trunk into the first one of them, and joined Mrs. Potter, Summer, Autumn, and Candy inside. The others pilled into the other one and then they pulled away from the curb.
After an hour of driving, Lily and her friends found themselves in front of a large, brick house in the country side. The cars pulled up the long, sweeping driveway that led to the large, oak front doors.
"Welcome to Gryffindor House, girls," Mrs. Potter said to the gaping girls. The girls stepped out of the cars into the sunny atmosphere and yanked out their luggage.
They walked up the pathway behind the Potters, trying to take all of their new surroundings in. Rolling hills were at one side of the house, along with gardens carpeting the ground. Lily saw what looked like woods behind the house, and a lake to the left of the house.
She squared her shoulders and stepped into her home for the summer. "This is going to be a looong summer," she thought as she saw Summer run past her, screaming her head off, while a gnome chased her. "A *very* long summer indeed."
LN- Sorry I haven't posted in a while, and I have five words for you: Writer's block, exams, and flute recitals. Oops, that was six. Oh well! Sorry! I'll make up for it, and the next chappie is going to be a looooooooooooong one! Forever, Liz-o and Ea-z. :-P Now, REVIEW PLEASE!!
