Chapter 5:
Wonderful Summer Party?
"Home sweet home!" Lily exclaimed as she opened the front door to her house.
"Lily, Rose, I made some chocolate cake for you two," their mother called, while Rose and Lily carried their luggage to their bedroom.
"I had a great time at Hogwarts, but I missed home," Rose said thoughtfully, as Lily examined something on her bed.
"Rose, do you know who sent these?" Lily questioned.
Rose looked at the bouquet of flowers in Lily's hands and a small smile played on her lips. "Lily, you should know who sent those by now," Rose said softly, trying not to anger her sister.
However, her attempts were left in vain. "I hate when James sends his stupid owl to me and gives me unnecessary items! It gets on my nerves!" Lily practically yelled. However, she wasn't without reason. Every time that Lily went to her bed-at Hogwarts- she'd find something on it already. When she got off the Hogwarts Express she had thought that she'd get a break from it for a few weeks, but no.
"I don't understand your thinking, Lily. James is a nice guy and all, why don't you give him a chance?" Rose asked calmly as she headed down the stairs to the kitchen.
"Give him a chance?" Lily asked hysterically as she followed Rose.
As soon as the two minors entered the kitchen, their mother asked, "Did you girls have a good time?"
"We had a great time at Hogwarts and we made so many friends. You won't believe it; their chess pieces come to life! We learned tons of stuff and Lily even has a." Rose started, but was cut off by an irritated Lily.
"Rose, I think you've said enough," Lily said, exaggerating the word enough.
"Oh, Lily, don't you think mom should know about James," Rose said, wording James's name like a five-year-old.
Lily sighed and started, "Mom, you see, there is this one guy that gets on my nerves and every day he's sending me something. Last time, he embarrassed me in front of the whole common room."
"He has a crush on her," Rose explained more efficiently and their mother laughed.
"Cheer up, Lily, there's nothing wrong with that. By the way, I'd really like to meet all of your friends. Maybe you could have them come over next week," their mother suggested.
"That's a great idea, I can't wait!" Rose said before Lily could say anything.
"Lily, dear, it's okay, you don't need to get upset. Just help Rose with the plans," their mother said gently.
Lily nodded and left to her room, with Rose next to her. When they got to the room, Rose started writing different lists for the party. "When?" Rose kept on repeating to herself.
"How about never," Lily answered, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"How about the upcoming Saturday? We have a week to tell everyone," Rose said, ignoring Lily's comment.
"Whatever," was the reply.
Rose continued writing and mumbling to herself.
"Here, check it out."
Lily read the paper.
Preparations:
People Invited: Melissa Sirius James Peter Remus
When: Saturday
Time: 6:00pm
Where: Rose & Lily's house
"6pm to when?" Lily asked Rose while looking up from the paper.
"Around 10:30."
Rose and Lily wrote the invitations & sent them with their owls.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* MEANWHILE:
"That's nice, their having a party." James said happily after reading the invitation.
"They should play Spin the Bottle, who knows, maybe you'll get lucky." Sirius exclaimed.
"Shut Up!"
Sirius got up & looked at the calendar. "Uh-oh."
"What?"
"Saturday.it's a full moon."
James thought a while before he realized Sirius's point. "Oh, is it about Remus?"
Sirius nodded. "Guess he can't come."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
FRIDAY:
"You want to go to the movies at 7 tomorrow?" Rose asked Lily.
"That's not a bad idea, but no sneaking off to an inappropriate movie."
"You're acting like mom, Lily."
"Hey, we have a letter." Lily said while a familiar owl pecked at the window.
Lily opened the window & took the letter.
Dear Lily & Rose,
Sorry, but I can't make it tomorrow. I'm not feeling too well.
Sincerely,
Remus P.S I borrowed James owl in case you're wondering.
"Now I can't show mom the cool chess pieces," Rose exclaimed "Well, I hope he feels better."
"Know wonder the owl looked familiar." Lily said to herself
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Lily, get ready, it's 5:30!!" Rose yelled to Lily from down stairs.
Lily got ready, putting on her light purple skirt with a dark purple shirt. She fixed her hair in a pony tail & went downstairs.
She found Rose wearing jeans and her favorite flower shirt. As Lily headed towards the kitchen the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Rose yelled racing to the door.
"Hi James, come in."
"Oh, great," Lily muttered.
"Hello James, I've hears a lot about you," their mother said smiling.
Lily cheeks went red the moment her mom said this.
"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Evans." James said glancing over to Lily.
Their mom left the room leaving Rose, Lily, & James silent.
"So.um.I'll go bring some cookies." Rose left before Lily could say anything.
"How's everything?" James began not knowing what to say.
"Fine.thanks for the flowers."
"Ding" The doorbell rang again & this time Lily got up.
"Hi Melissa, I haven't seen you in weeks!!"
Just as Lily closed the door the door, it rang again.
Lily opened it, "Thanks for closing the door in my face."
"Oops, sorry didn't see you coming Sirius."
Rose came in with a plate of cookies in her hand.
"That took you long enough," Lily whispered to her.
They all ate & talked for about an hour.
"Isn't Peter going to come?" Rose finally asked.
"Oh, he had some important work." Sirius said glancing at James.
Lily & Rose's mother came in.
"Ready to go to the movies?"
"Yeah, let's go." Lily exclaimed.
Lily & Rose's mother drove the 5 to the theater.
"I'll be back in two hours." With that she left.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"The movie was great!" Lily said laughing.
"That's one comedy!" Melissa exclaimed.
Lily & Rose's mom was already there.
"How was the movie?"
"Hilarious." Rose replied.
After they got to Lily & Rose's house, they played board games, Rose showed James, Sirius, & Melissa the regular chess set. They found this amusing.
Lily got bored and started watching T.V downstairs, she found James already there.
"This is really cool, what do you call it?"
"It's a T.V." Lily answered.
Lily thought a while, she wanted to ask someone, since James was there she decided to ask him.
"James, I didn't know who to ask, so I decided to tell you.as a friend," she added.
"Okay."
"You see, a couple weeks ago, I was in the common room, & I heard Remus say something to Sirius. I couldn't hear exactly, but Sirius said it was okay and he could trust him.
Now all of a sudden Remus isn't feeling well & Peter has important work. Plus, a couple of times you guys were talking about something in the library & I've been wondering what it is.
I don't mean to be nosy, but is there a problem or something?"
James fell silent, what was he supposed to say? Without thinking he began.
"First of all, you are being nosy & it's absolutely none of your business. Why can't we have some privacy!
Why is it so important that you people have to know everything!? I suggest you leave us alone. Why the hell do you even bother!!?"
Lily stared at James in amazement. She was speechless.
"I was just trying to help." Was all that she said & left the room, still shocked.
James thought for a moment, oh great, what had he done! He was such a jerk! Now Lily would never speak to him.
