"Rose, mom & dad still haven't replied and it's passed more than two weeks!" Lily said, as she looked out the window hoping to see her barn owl. "Don't worry, Lily, there are more than two weeks until the holidays." Rose spoke. Lily was about to turn around when she spotted something. Hoping it was her barn owl she waited. It was her barn owl!! Lily excitedly took the letter it had & read it:
Dear Lily & Rose,
We are writing a quick reply. We want you to come home for the holidays because we are going to have a party this year too. We replied late because we were very busy.
Sincerely,
Mom & Dad
Lily liked the Christmas parties her family had every year. Rose looked unhappy, when Lily asked her why, she said "Remus & I are supposed to have a chess match during the holidays." Lily just told her they could have a chess match another time. Rose agreed & they went to the library where they found their friends.
Meanwhile, Melissa, Remus & Sirius were staying for the holidays. Although, James & Peter weren't staying. As days passed, Hogwarts was covered with fake snow, which looked & felt real.
Now there were only four days left until the holidays. Hogwarts was being decorated everywhere. Then, Rose came to Lily giving her a letter, Rose's owl just brought. It was from their parents saying they shouldn't come home for the holidays because they aren't having a party. Lily stopped reading for a second. Then continued, the reason for canceling the party was because Petunia wasn't feeling well & wouldn't be better during the holidays. Rose, of course was very happy to be staying at Hogwarts. Lily wasn't very upset, although, she always had fun on the parties.
The thing that made Lily happy was that James wasn't staying, so she would have a wonderful Christmas. Lily had already bought presents for all her friends, even James, because she wanted everyone to have a good Christmas. Plus, she had have forgotten the incident in the common room.
Lily woke up to find a beautiful, snowy morning as usual. She had a pile of presents at the foot of her bed. She got ready & took the presents by the fireplace where she found Sirius & Remus. "Happy Christmas!" Lily said to them. She opened her presents quickly; all of her friends had given her great presents. Meanwhile, it was almost time for the feast. Lily loved all of the food. By the time the feast was over she decided to write in her diary:
Dear Diary,
It's been pretty good. There isn't anything new really besides the classes. There is only about 6 months or so left until summer. There's something weird going on with Rose. I don't know what is, but it's like she hiding something..got 2 go.
--Lily
"Lily, what are you doing?" said Rose as she came. "Umm, nothing."Lily answered not knowing what to say. Rose knew Lily was writing something. "Is that your diary?" Rose asked curiously. "Yes it is, Rose, & you can not read it." Lily said. Then, Melissa came. "That feast was great....Lily, what are you writing?" At that moment Lily left to the Gryffindor common room. She quickly put away the diary. When she sat down near the fireplace, she heard Remus & Sirius whispering something.
"Why didn't you tell me this before, Remus?" Sirius said not knowing Lily was there.
"I was afraid you would not be my friend anymore & tell everyone that." Remus stopped when he saw Lily. He tried to tell Sirius but Sirius couldn't tell what he was trying to say.
"I am still your friend, & the others would still be too & we definitely wouldn't tell anyone." Sirius replied.
Lily was confused, what was it that Remus told Sirius? She didn't hear what they said after that, but she decided that she was pretty tired, so she stood up, but then Sirius saw her.
"Hi, Lily, I didn't know you were down here." he said hoping Lily hadn't overheard anything. "I.I.was resting by the fireplace; I'm pretty tired so I'm going to sleep." Lily said that, and headed to the girls dormitory. Sirius & Remus just stood there.
Lily had, had a wonderful break. She was still wondering about what she overheard, but didn't tell anyone.
Weeks passed with exams & classes. Lily was now getting ready for the end of her first year at Hogwarts. Everything seemed to pass very fast. There was only about a week left until summer break. She was packing everything in her trunk, when Melissa came. "I can always come visit you." She said. Lily just nodded.
Lily & Rose got off the train and saw their parents & Petunia waiting for them. It was good to be home for the summer!
A.N. I am really sorry I update slow. I might change the title of this story later on. Anyway, please review, it makes my day. I will also try to update at least 2 chapters before school starts on September 2. Thanks again to all my reviewers!!
