It was almost noon when Lily struggled out of bed and wandered into the
bathroom.
She couldn't remember much until the first splash of ice cold water sent her memories through the roof.
She, Lily Evans, had been kissed.
Lily studied herself in the mirror...she didn't look any different. Moving closer Lily studied her face harder...nope, nothing had changed--except for the irritating fact that she was getting a few blemishes on her skin--she blamed the make-up that was still thick on her face. Yesterday she hadn't had the energy or the courage to emerge from Sonyas room and venture to wash it all off.
Lily had always been told that your first kiss could change your life...glaring at her smudgy reflection she wondered what romantic little twit had made that up.
Sighing, Lily strolled back into the lounge and collapsed on the sofa, switching on the TV and immediately flicking through the channels from one crappy sitcom to the next.
Lily hated daytime Television.
The matter barely improved as Sonya skipped into the room and flopped down next to Lily.
"Morning, Bella!"
"Bella? Sonya, my name's Lily."
"Bella is beautiful in Italian."
Lily snapped.
"For Godsake! I'm not the slightest bit pretty! Can you just get over it already...I'm ugly, I'm boring and no sane guy would ever be interested."
Sonya glanced at her curiously, then reached over and flicked her in the head.
"Why can't you see your beauty? Why must you always avoid it and make excuses. I saw BJ yesterday! He was all over you and I'm pretty sure he's sane!"
Lily, unused to her cousin's harsh voice looked over in alarm. Suddenly she realised what Sonya had done for her. Sonya had liked BJ first, but like the gorgeous person that she was, she had given him to Lily, if only for a chance to see her accept herself.
"Oh, Sonya..." Lily said, tears pooling, "I'm really sorry ok...I know that you liked BJ and I know I just took him."
"Its because I wanted you to have him." Sonya answered simply. "What happened, by the way...Sam told me this morning that something had upset you last night?"
"Nothing much."
Sonya raised one eyebrow then swung Lily around in the couch to face her.
"Now Lily," she warned, "Cousins tell each other all! So spill!"
"Its just...he kissed me."
"What!" Sonya squealed, before pulling Lily into a hug, "I told you Bella, I told you he'd find you beautiful."
"But..."
Sonya glanced at her suspiciously, "But what?"
"I, uh, I pulled away."
"You. Did. WHAT!"
"I couldn't help it! It was like this dam had burst inside or me...all these emotions all these feelings. Suddenly I was terrified- what if I screwed up? What if he laughed..."Lily went quiet, then looked around nervously and leaned in closer, " What if he decided that I was just a silly, little geek. I wouldn't be able to handle it."
Sonya studied her face carefully and nodded slowly, "I think I know what you mean--once I went to this disco and this total sex-god started to chat me up. At first I was ecstatic, then I started to wonder...What if we kissed and he humiliated me? What if it was a joke.."
"But Sonya! You're gorgeous!"
"So are you! But do you believe it?"
Lily went quiet...her cousin had a point. Suddenly she realised something odd-- there was no noise anywhere in the house.
"Where is everyone?"
"At school or at work."
"What? But its the holidays!"
"Maybe off in Pommy-land it is. Over here were not quite on winter break yet."
"Hold on." Lily looked at Sonya carefully, "Why aren't you at school?"
"Because Mum didn't want you home alone!" Sonya answered happily. "Today I'm taking you into the city to go shopping...can't have you wearing those daggy clothes all holidays! We'll be clubbing a bit you know."
"Gee," Lily said dryly, "I don't know whether to be happy or offended."
"Happy." Said Sonya firmly, "Now com'on, I wanna get you looking Gorgeous for the city."
Lily giggled as they skipped into Sonya's room.
Sonya rushed over to her closet and pulled a few dresses out...Looking over Lily with a critical eye, she finally decided on a emerald green mini and a white floaty top.
"Are you sure?" Lily asked Nervously, glancing at the top, "That looks kinda see-through."
Sonya scoffed as she pulled on her own white mini and metallic, blue jacket. "It's the seventies, Lily! I wouldn't be surprised if there was someone wandering around naked!"
Lily gasped, wrinkled her nose then pulled on the shirt, Wizards tended to be a little cut off from the muggle world and Lily often forgot how wild muggle 'pop' culture could get.
Surprisingly, once she had the outfit on she noticed that Sonya was right. It did look amazing, the green skirt setting off her eyes, and the hippy- style blouse making her face appear to glow in health (like a mint commercial or something). A little green eye-shadow completed the look and Sonya even managed to borrow something off Lily for a change-- apparently Lily's large tortoise-shell sun-glasses were in at the moment.
* * * * *
"Linda, sweetie! It been so long since I've seen you!"
"Jan! How are you?"
Janet Potter air kissed her friend a few times before pulling her in a massive hug. James caught the eye of a sandy-haired boy standing off to one side and the both tried hard not to break into loud gales of laughter. Unfortunately they were unsuccessful, earning a glare from both respective Mothers.
"Hi, my names Dustin," said the boy when they had finally stopped laughing, " Dustin Wagner."
"I'm James Potter," James replied grinning.
"Ah...so I finally meet the great James Potter."
"The great James Potter?" James asked confused.
"Well, that's the impression I got after my cousin talked about you for an hour straight."
James looked at Dustin quizzically, he was pretty sure he didn't know anyone with the name of Wagner, especially someone who would know him well enough to talk about him in such a way.
"Who exactly is your cousin..."
"Ever met Samantha Bones? I think she's in Hufflepuff. Apparently she's had a bit of a crush on you for awhile."
James wracked his brain for an answer. He was pretty sure he had heard of her, but he couldn't put a face to the name.
"Uh, to tell the truth, I'm not quite sure who she is."
Dustin grinned and patted James on the back, "No sweat...Sam's the kind of girl that gets mad crushes on guys she's never even talked to."
"Typical girl, you mean?"
"You're all right, Potter," Dustin said, patting James on the back, "You're all right.
An hour later James found himself being pulled through the streets of Manly, his mother happily occupied with a plate of cucumber sandwiches and lemonade. He wasn't exactly sure where they were going, but he hoped it was somewhere interesting-- so far Manly seemed to be solely made up of Sandwich bars and smoothie shops. They suddenly took and abrupt turn and James looked around skeptically.
"Uh, where exactly are we?"
"In the wizarding part of Manly."
"But this is just...just," James stared at the dark alley behind a Chinese restaurant, "This is an Alley."
Dustin sighed and took out his wand. A dusty tap was sitting next to them, attached to a dark section of the grimy wall, and Dustin tapped it three times.
"I thought you were a wizard James!" said Dustin grinning," Haven't you noticed that in our world nothing is ever what it seems."
"True..." admitted James as he watched the wall melt away into a golden door, glimmering through the darkness
"Open it," instructed Dustin, and James did cautiously.
Immediately, bright sunlight hit them, steaming from a large and cheery street filled with amazing shops. Dustin pulled James along the street, ignoring the small stores filled with magical boomerangs and weird smelling potions ingredients. He's didn't stop until they reached a massive store, sitting in between a pet-shop and a wand maker.
This was the Quiddich store.
James eyes opened wide in delight as Dustin pulled him in. They were surrounded by beautiful brooms. Some James had heard of, like the 'Nimbus100'. Others were completely new to him, adorned with tags saying 'Australian made', they lined up with strange sounding names, like, 'The boomerang', or 'Dingo25'.
James picked one of these up, admiring the thin handle and neat twigs...it reminded him of the 'Cleansweep 6', the fasted broom in Britain.
While James was admiring the broom, Dustin was off buying Quiddich trading cards and ordering some new broom polish.
"You play?" James asked, wandering over.
Dustin looked at him as if he was crazy, then nodded. "Yup, I play Beater."
James laughed, "The position suits you."
"And yourself?"
"A chaser- got accepted onto the team three years ago."
"Good on you mate."
"Yeah...Hey, I'm getting pretty hungry. Is there anywhere around here where I can get something to eat?"
"The Hungarian...Food's pretty good and a heap of hot witches hang around there."
"I've got a Girlfriend."
"Really? What's her name then?"
"Natasha."
Dustin grinned and thumped James on the shoulder, "Tell her she better watch out- what with Samantha on the prowl."
"Don't worry," James answered laughing, "Tash can look after herself...trust me, it's your cousin who needs to watch out! She might find a stiletto chucked at her."
"Tough lady, huh?"
"Brutal- but she's damn hot as well."
"I guess that's all that matters." Dustin said, leading James into a small, cozy cafe. "But forget about her mate, you're on holidays! Look at that hottie!"
James followed his friends eyes, until he saw a gorgeous blonde, sitting at a booth and chatting to her friends.
"She's all right I guess..."
"Are you kidding! She's a total Babe!"
"I guess. Hey, is there anything cool we can do tonight? I'm sick of just sitting around, you know?"
"Yeah, I haven't done anything since I got back from School. Theres a pretty cool teen club in the city, if you want to go? Its called the 'Ice house'."
"That would be mad!"
"Right then." Said Dustin, as their food appeared, "That's settled...tonight we go to the Ice-house."
* * * * *
"Sonya?" asked Lily as she climbed aboard the ferry to manly, shopping bags piling from all directions.
"Yup?" answered Sonya, taking a deep sip of her Mocha-chino.
"Do think we can go out tonight? I want to try out some of my new clothes."
"For sure...anywhere in particular you'd like to go?"
"Um...can we go dancing? I got that mad skirt, remember? I want to twirl a bit!"
Sonya looked over at her cousin and started to giggle, "I'm not sure how much twirling you'll get done, but how 'bout we go into the city and look around for a teen-club? Theres a couple of good ones."
"Hurrah!" Cried Lily, pulling her cousin into a hug.
Sonya tried hard to balance her coffee, and pat Lilys back at the same time.
Later that evening as they were getting ready, Sam wandered into the room.
"What are you guys up too tonight?"
Sonya looked up from where she was carefully out lining her lips, and studied Sam suspiciously.
"Why?"
"Its just BJ is coming over..."
Lily flinched at his name, and tried hard to pretend she couldn't hear the conversation. Sonya sent her a worried glance before looking back at Sam and asking, "And?"
"He wanted to do something with you guys tonight...He feels bad about what happened with Lily and wants to make it up by taking you guys to a club his uncle owns."
Sonya sent Lily a pleading look, before asking Sam if they could have some time alone together. Once he had left the room, she turned to back to Lily.
"Lily, are you up to hanging around with him?"
"I guess I am," answered Lily uneasily.
"Are you sure? Because his uncle owns the hottest clubs in the city! Plus, one of them is a mad teen club."
"Really?" Lily stared hard at her cousin and made up her mind. She wasn't going to let her hang-ups ruin the evening for everyone--especially because BJ had promised to make it up to her. "Then I guess I have no objections."
"Really!" Sonya squealed, pulling her into a massive hug..."You're the best Lily!"
Sam hearing Sonyas scream, came walking back into the room.
"So?"
"Yep! We're game...what's the club called anyway?"
"The Ice House."
