Not Meant To Be
Chapter 3
Narcissa ran off to find Lily. After a few minutes of searching the crowd, she found her with a woman with blonde hair, a man with red hair, and a teenaged girl with blonde hair. Lily looked at her and said, "Where did you go?"
"Sorry, Lils to run off like that. Sirius wanted me to meet his parents. I didn't think I'd be so long." Narcissa said feeling bad.
"Don't worry, it's ok. Just me and my parents were worried. Where are my manners? Mom, Dad, Petunia, this is my friend Narcissa." Lily said.
The blonde woman looked her over, hugged her, and said, "Hello, dear. You look lovely."
Narcissa was a bit shocked. Her mother never hugged, but she liked it. Lily's mother was friendly. "Nice to meet you Mrs. Evans." Narcissa said hugging back.
Once Lily's mother released Narcissa from the hug, Lily's father stepped forward. He hugged her gently and said, "It's nice to meet you. I'm glad Lily's fitting in. I was afraid she wouldn't because of her heritage."
Narcissa stepped away and said, "Well, some people in school can be kind of prejudice, but I really don't think it matters where someone comes from. I think it matters how they act and how you get along with them."
"You're a very smart girl for your age, Narcissa. You know, there are a lot of adults how can't understand what you said.", Mrs. Evans said.
"I don't understand it. Why do some people have to be some mean just because I was born different then them?" Lily asked sniffing.
"Oh, Lily. Don't cry. People can ignorant. Sometimes, they are jealous, or just don't understand people who are different them. So, they treat people who are different them badly." Mr. Evans said.
Petunia looked over and said, "And some people are just freaks. People know it and treat them like so."
"Petunia, that wasn't nice," Mrs. Evans said.
"The truth usually isn't." Petunia murmured.
Mrs. Evans just shot her a glare. Narcissa leaned in and whispered, "Why is she so mean to you, Lily?"
Lily sniffled and said, "I don't know. She's always been mean to me. Petunia just hates me."
Mr. Evans looked at his watch and said, "Oh my. It's getting pretty late. We should get going now if we want to beat traffic."
"Yes, dear. You're right." Mrs. Evans said looking at her watch. "Come on, everyone. Let's go." she said starting to walk to the car. They all followed along.
The ride to the Evan's home was long and uneventful. Not much happened. Lily and Narcissa chitchatted while Lily's father drove. Narcissa noticed that Petunia, who was silent the whole ride, kept giving her glares.
They all get out of the car. Mr. and Mrs. Evans took in the girls' bags for them. Narcissa looked around the house. They were an array of new things that fascinated her. Lily looked over at her and said, "Well, what do you think? Do you like?"
Lily was a bit nervous Narcissa would not like her home. After all, Mr. Evans was just an average blue collar worker. The Holdens were one of the richest families in the entire world.
"I like it a lot, but can I ask you something?" Narcissa said.
"I'm glad you liked it. I was afraid you weren't going to. Yeah, sure. You can ask me anything you want." Lily said.
"Why don't the pictures move?" Narcissa asked picking up a picture frame.
"Well, muggles don't have the power to make pictures move. Only witches and wizards do." Lily said feeling a bit embarrassed.
"It's really cool. May I have one of your pictures?" Narcissa asked.
Lily smiled and said, "We can take some pictures over the summer with muggle film. They'll come out still like that."
"Really?" Narcissa asked.
"Yup. Let's go to my room." Lily said.
"Ok, lead the way." Narcissa said.
Lily nodded and walked to the stairs. They went up the flight of stairs and into the hallway. Lily's room was the first room on the left side. The walked in and Narcissa said, "You have a nice room, Lils."
"Thanks," Lily said blushing as she sat down on her bed. Her room had pink walls. Two beds, one for her and one for Narcissa, that had pink sheets. Her bed was covered with stuffed animals. There were too dressers in the room and a small night stand next to her bed.
Narcissa sat down on the other bed and said, "I like it here. It's a lot friendlier that my house."
"Well, it is most of the time. My parents are really nice, but my sister." Lily said.
"Yea, she's a real git. Maybe your parents adopted her from the Malfoys." Narcissa joked.
"I wouldn't be surprised if they did. She treats me the exact way Lucius does." Lily said sadly.
Narcissa looked over and said, "Relax, you just have to deal with her for two months. I have to deal with Lucius all year. I just wonder why mum wants me to get to know him."
"Well, maybe she thinks like he does. That just because he's a pureblood he's better than someone you like that's nice." Lily said.
"I think I'd like anyone better than him." Narcissa said simply.
"Is there anyone you do like?" Lily asked.
"Yeah, I like James, Remus, and Sirius." Narcissa replied.
"All three of them?" Lily asked sadly. She couldn't believe her bestfriend like her crush, James.
"Yeah, don't you? They're really nice to you too. After you, they're my bestfriends." Narcissa said.
"No, I didn't mean like that. Are there any guys you really like? You know, for like a boyfriend." Lily said.
"Oh, well kind of." Narcissa said blushing.
"Who?" Lily asked excitedly. She loved secrets and was good at keeping them.
"I don't want to say who." Narcissa said.
"Oh, come on. You know I keep secrets. Like I never told Remus who accidentally spilt pumpkin juice on his homework, did I?" Lily asked.
"Yeah, but that was an accident. Besides, you don't know what it's like. You don't like any boys." Narcissa said.
"Yes, I do," Lily said blushing.
"Who?" Narcissa asked shocked.
"I'm not telling," Lily said.
"Why not?" Narcissa asked.
"You never told me who you liked, " Lily said simply.
"If I tell you who I like, will you tell me who you like?" Narcissa asked.
"Sure!" Lily said excitedly.
"Ok. I like. Well, I like. " Narcissa said shyly.
"Come, on. Tell me. I promise I won't make fun." Lily said.
"Ok. Well, I like.." Narcissa said still feeling shy.
"Either you come out with it right now, or I'll tell Lucius you're in love with him!" Lily said.
Narcissa got nervous Lily would really do it and blurted out, "I like Sirius!"
"I should have known. It's good you like him," Lily said.
"Why is it good I like him?" Narcissa asked.
"You don't know why?" Lily asked.
"Nope, tell me," Narcissa said.
"Well, it's so obvious he likes you. That's why he's always mouthing off to Malfoy. Sirius hates how he treats and that your parents only like him because he's a pureblood." Lily said.
"You really think he likes me?" Narcissa asked unsurely
"I know it!" Lily exclaimed. "Tell me, Lils, who do you like?" Narcissa asked.
Lily blushed. She blushed so deep that her face almost matched her hair. "I like James," Lily said.
"That's so great Lils. He fancies you you know." Narcissa said.
"I hope he does," Lily said.
Narcissa looked at Lily for a moment before saying, "I have an idea. You call up Sirius, James, and Remus and invite them over. You talk to Siruis in private and I will talk to James in private. Well, say we know someone who likes them, then ask who they like. Stating we want to tell that person if they like them or not."
"Wow, Cissa. You're a genius. No wonder you get such good grades.", Lily said.
"Ok, let's owl Sirius. He said he didn't live too far away from here." Narcissa said.
"It's best not to owl him here. He's half muggle and 'sides I don't think mom wants my owl falling around. She's afraid of birds." Lily said.
"If you can't owl him, how are you going to get a message to him?" Narcissa asked confused.
"By telephone," Lily said.
"By what?!" Narcissa asked confused.
"Telephone. It's a machine. You put it against your head and talk into the bottom and listen on top." Lily said.
"Ok, you use the telephone to get him." Narcissa said with a look on her face that looked as if she didn't think it was going to work.
"Alright, I'll call him. You wait here," Lily said getting up and leaving.
Lily came back ten minutes later and said, "Sirius can't come now. He's in trouble. His dad said he can come over on Saturday and James and Remus will come."
