New places, new loves
6 year old Lily Evans was sitting by the window in her bedroom looking out onto the clear blue sky wishing she could be somewhere else, somewhere that was magical, that was full of surprises and a place without Petunia.
Petunia is lily's older sister by four years and she doesn't really like Lily, Lily tried for years to find out why her only sister hated her, maybe it was all the attention that Lily gets from school and her family, maybe it's because Petunia was just bored one day and decided to take it out on Lily. After six long years of all this constant hatred Lily still hadn't figured out why Petunia hated her.
"Lily, come down here sweetheart" Lily heard her mum, Claire Evans, shout up the stairs " we have to get ready for the new neighbours, they will be arriving soon" she finished. I can't believe I forgot about that Lily thought as she looked outside her window one last time and as she saw a moving van pull up she then ran down stairs.
"Mum, there here" Lily shouted to the kitchen where her mum was applying her make-up.
"All right dear, I'm coming" Lily heard her mum shout.
"I don't know what the big deal is anyway their just coming to live next door!" Lily heard Petunia yell from the living room. As Lily walked in there she saw her sister lying all over the couch watching something on TV. Petunia was a very skinny girl with short dark blond hair who in Lily's opinion looked more like a horse than a girl.
"So I guess you don't want to come out and meet them then" Lily said going to stand by the door waiting for her mum.
"Well if I did don't you think that I would be running around like you lot?" Petunia snapped.
"Oh don't be mean to your sister Petunia come on Lily let's go and meet them," Claire said walking to the door and picking up her coat.
"Ok mum, see you later Petunia" Lily said smiling as she walked out the door.
Outside"Look Remus can't you just smile just a little" Sophie Lupin said to her son, Remus.
"Mum, how do you really expect me to smile" Remus said with a frown on his face. Sophie bent down so she was face to face with her son.
"Look I know what you've been though and I cannot feel worse about it but please put on a brave face for me please" Sophie said softly and the little boy facing her, " you never know you might get some new friends" she said after and just then Lily and her mum came up.
"Hello, I'm Claire Evans and this is my daughter Lily, how do you do?" Claire said holding her hand out.
"Hi I'm Sophie Lupin and this is my son Remus" Sophie said shaking Claire's hand "And my husband Ben is just helping the movers take everything into the house" Sophie explained.
"Oh well my husband Sean is at work at the moment what about if we all get together tonight then you can meet my husband and my other daughter, Petunia" Claire suggested
"That would be great how about round ours at around 6" Sophie said
"Great see you then" Claire said walking away.
That night
"Right tonight Remus I would like you to be friendly and happy do you hear me, I know that your unhappy at the minute but things will get better, believe me" Sophie said to Remus.
"Ok mum" Remus said and walked out of the bedroom door and down the stairs where the doorbell had just rang.
"I'll get" Remus's dad Ben said heading for the door and when he opened it he saw a family of four outside and invited them in.
" Right well do you want to come inside and sit down" Ben offered.
"Why thank you" Claire said as her, Sean, Lily and Petunia walked in and sat down.
After about half an hour of listening to the adults ramble on and on about moving and jobs Lily started to get quite hot and said she needed to go outside. "All right honey but don't go far" Claire said looking over her shoulder,
"I wont" Lily replied.
After Lily had been outside for about 10 minutes she heard a bang on the door to the Lupin house and saw Remus walk out of it.
" Don't worry it's only me" Remus said politely
"Oh, hi" Lily said looking up.
"Are you ok?" Remus asked
"Oh I'm fine it's just so boring in there I mean all they talk about is jobs and doing grown up things" Lily said with a smile on her face.
"Yeah I know it's so annoying" Remus agreed
"Hey do you wanna be friends?" Lily asked
"Really" Remus said with a look of surprise on his face.
"Yeah, why not" Lily said
"Sure" Remus agreed and suddenly a smile rose onto his face, I finally have a friend he thought.
