*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next day, Lily awoke to the sound of Miranda tapping on her bedroom window. Lily jumped out of bed and opened the window, as she wanted to see Bella's reply.
Bella's letter read:
To Lily,
I asked mum about the whole staying over thing and she said it's fine. You can come over whenever you want.
Love,
Bella
P.S. I just had to laugh when you told me about Petunia marrying that whale! Imagine what their kids will look like!
Lily laughed at the thought, and put the letter on her desk. She remembered that she hadn't asked her parents about going to Bella's yet, so she headed downstairs. She stopped outside the door to the dining room, where her parents were fighting, as they had been ever since Petunia's little outburst.
"Mark, we could call Vernon's-"
"Rose, that brat of a daughter we have deserves nothing from us!" Mark yelled angrily.
"But Mark, she's our daughter-"
"Yes, but so is Lily! How do you think she feels constantly being called a freak?" Mark shouted at his wife.
"Ahem" Lily said, stepping into the dining room.
"Lily, did you hear-" Rose began, but was interrupted by Lily.
"Mum, don't worry, I'm not hear to talk about that, I was going to ask you whether I could stay at Bella's for the rest of the summer. Can I?" Lily asked with pleading eyes.
"Is it alright with Mrs Figg?" Rose asked her daughter.
"Yeah it's fine. So can I go?" Lily said impatiently.
"Mmm.ok" Mark said, "If it's alright with you Rose"
"Ok Lily, you can go then" Rose complied.
"Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Lily said, and hugged each of them. "I'll go pack!" she shouted as she ran up the stairs.
Lily collected her belongings, packed them in her trunk along with Miranda, and apparated to the Figg's house.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Sirius, you lazy ass, get up!" James shouted into his best friend's ear, trying, unsuccessfully, to get him up.
"Fons uw awad!" Sirius mumbled into his blanket, trying to say "Prongs you bastard!"
"James! Sirius! You're breakfast is ready!" James's mother, Mary Potter shouted from the kitchen downstairs.
Sirius immediately jumped out of his bed, yelled "FOOD!" and ran to the kitchen.
James, laughing, followed him.
They sat down, and began eating their bacon and eggs.
"Mmm, Mrs Potter, this is goooood" Sirius said, mouth full.
"Sirius, I really admire your table manners" Mary said, chuckling.
Just then, James's sister, Sophie, walked in the front door.
"Hey Soph" James said, looking up from reading the Daily Prophet.
"Hey brat.and munchkin!" she said, addressing the boys with the nicknames she'd given them when they were little.
"Aww, shut up Sophie" Sirius said, blushing, as Sophie was extremely pretty.
"So Sophie dear, what have you been up to lately?" Mary asked her only daughter.
"Oh, same old, same old. Voldermort's been on a few killing sprees lately, and us Auror's have been run off our feet!" Sophie answered.
Sophie, as she said, was an Auror. A damn good one too. She took after their father, Ted Potter, who had died two years ago serving the ministry.
"How's your flat?" James asked.
"Well, it would be better if Mia didn't spend the whole day on her ass reading trashy magazines. That girl has no life now! And as for Rita, well, she's off all the time interrogating poor, innocent people, trying to get a good story for the Prophet" Sophie answered, sitting on the couch
After graduating from Hogwarts 4 years ago, Sophie moved into a flat with her best friend, Amelia (Mia) Brooks, and an ex-Ravenclaw who graduated a year before them, Rita Skeeter.
"Well you know, Sophie, you could move back-"
"Mother I am not a child anymore. I need my independence" Sophie retorted.
"Yes, yes, I know. I did listen to some of the lecture you gave me four years ago!" Mary said, slightly annoyed.
"Mother, uh, can Sirius and I go to Diagon Alley today to get school stuff?" James asked his mother, trying to break up the argument.
"Yes, yes of course" Mary replied, a bit sidetracked.
"Padfoot, come on, let's go now" James said pointedly.
"Oh yes, lovely breakfast, Mrs Potter," Sirius said, and he and James ran upstairs to grab their moneybags, and apparated to Diagon Alley, leaving Mary and Sophie to their argument. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When Lily arrived at Bella's house, she found it to be seemingly empty.
"Bella? Bella!" Lily called out.
'This is weird,' Lily thought, 'No-one's home'.
Lily turned the corner to Bella's kitchen and she was greeted with a "BOO".
Lily screamed. Bella's was laughing her head off, and ran away.
"BELLA! I'M SO GONNA GET YOU FOR THAT!" Lily shouted, and ran after Bella.
Lily eventually found Bella and they had a tickling war.
"Ok Lils, I'm calling a truce," Bella said after about five minutes of the war.
"Truce" Lily said, still laughing.
Lily and Bella walked up the stars to Bella's room.
"I've missed you sooooo much Bella!" Lily told her best friend.
"Me too. We haven't seen each other in, what, two and a half months? Too long, my friend, too long" Bella said.
"Hey, you know Zani had to spend two weeks at the Potter's with Sirius and James?" Lily asked.
"Yeah I know. That would have been a living hell" Bella answered.
"Zani said it actually wasn't that bad. Said they've matured a bit, though I don't really believe her" Lily said.
"James Potter and Sirius Black, mature? I think not" Bella said, laughing at the prospect.
"Oh come Bella, we all know of you're undying love for Sirius" Lily said, eyes gleaming.
Bella went redder than Lily's hair.
"Oh, and what about your crush on the illustrious James Potter?" Bella asked.
"Me? More like him!" Lily answered.
"Lily" Bella warned, giving her the 'don't-lie-to-me-I-know-you-too-well' look.
"Oh alright. I like Potter. Happy?" Lily said, annoyed.
"No. I won't be happy until you agree to go out with him the next time he asks you" Bella said, grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"Ok, fine. But that doesn't mean I'm going to be his girlfriend or anything Bella" Lily said, frowning.
"Whatever" Bella said mischievously, eyes gleaming.
"Anyway, what are we going to do now I'm here?" Lily said, changing the topic.
"Oh! Well I asked mum before she went to work this morning if we could go to Diagon Alley and she said it's fine, so we can go now if you want, we've just got to get our moneybags" Bella said.
"Ok! I haven't got my school stuff yet, have you?" Lily asked while they were searching for their moneybags.
"Nope," Bella replied as she found her moneybag. "Let's go!" she said, and they apparated to Diagon Alley.
