The Sister
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters within it.
Note: This is what could have happened in the time of the marauders, and
how an unexpected romance between two characters nearly changes the future.
Lily Evans and James Potter held hands as they alongside the
street to her house.Sirius Black kept making jokes about how it had been only
weeks ago that Lily despised James, or at least pretended to.Now they were
a couple.
Peter Pettigrew laughed at Sirius' jokes in a half-hearted way as if
he didn't want to offend anybody but still participate in the fun.None of
them had ever been to Lily's house yet, although she had shown them pictures.
"You know," she commented without turning around," I never really
hated James. Besides, I've learned that there is more to him as a person
than playing rude tricks and showing off."
"Yeah," said Sirius in an offhand way,"I bet there's more to Snape as
well, but it doesn't mean I'm giong to sneak into the Slytherin dorms some
night next year and declare my love for-"
"SIRIUS!"
This time it was James and he had turned around angrily to end the
bad comedy routine. His annoyed expression morphed into worry almost immediately.
"Hey, where's Remus?"
Peter spoke this time,"He went back to look for some book he dropped
along the way."
"Let's go," Sirius urged,"I think a werewolf can take care of himself.
He knows what the house looks like. We all do..."
Lily nodded and they continued past brick houses and cars.It was mainly
a muggle street, but she knew of a few wizards and witches in the area, and
which houses they lived in.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Petunia Evans stood in a dark,upstairs hallway and pushed the heavy
curtains of the only window aside slightly,allowing her to spy without being
caught.
Outside,it was late afternoon,and the sky was becoming heavily veiled
by dark storm clouds.According to the weather report, rain was to be expected
every day for the next week.Four people came into view about 6 houses down,
walking closer.
Petunia squinted a bit; one of them was her sister.She groaned.It seemed
as if Lily was bringing three of those wizard freaks home.The one at the back
of the group had the general aura of one timid and untrusting, along with a
chubby face and light, wispy hair.His clothes were loose so Petunia couldn't
tell how chubby the rest of him was. Lily was holding hands with another, who
had a head full of unruly black hair and wore glasses with thin frames.The third
member of the group ran around Lily and her boyfriend with a stick, looking like
he wanted to poke someone.He was more attractive than both of the others, but
also looked like a reckless idiot. It didn't take long for them to reach the
driveway.
Petunia turned sharply and went up to the attic, which she had turned into
a sort of library.The last thing on earth she wanted was to meet those morons,or
even know that they were in her house.
Downstairs, the front door opened and Lily brought her friends inside.
None of them bothered to wipe their feet on the doormat.
"Sit down," she told them, and Sirius threw himself onto a plaid sofa.
Peter slowly moved to the carpeted floor, in front of a grandfather clock.
James, still standing, asked,"Could we get somehthing to eat?"
"Whatever's in the refridgerator,"Lily replied.This caused a race between
her guests to find the kitchen.A knock came softly at the front door and Lily
opened it, as she was the only person left in the room to do so.Remus entered,
clutching a book to his chest as the first drops of rain began to fall."Hi,
Lily," he said.
"Everyone is in the kitchen,"she told him,"It's at the other end of the
hall."
Remus followed Lily into the kitchen, where they found James and Peter
riffling through the refridgerator and Sirius licking something off a spoon.
He dipped the spoon back into a container.
"Honestly!"Lily exclaimed,"Eating out of the container!Well, you can have
the whole thing to yourself now."He dropped the spoon onto the floor and began to
dig into the cake frosting with his fingers.
James stepped away from the refridgerator with a slice of cold pizza in his
hand, and asked,"So, what is this great book you doubled back for."
Remus hesitated and clutched it more closely.
"Come on, Moony,"James prodded,"It's not like anyone else is here.Are they,
Lily?"
"Only my sister.Our parents are gone for the next three days."
Sirius was in disbelief. "And you aren't going to DO anything while they're
gone?!"
"She did," James said,"She let you into her house,Padfoot."
Remus took a deep breath and held out his book.The cover said "Coping with
Lycanthropy"
Instantly, his friends became more supportive. It made Lily feel uncomfortable.
She left upstairs to find Petunia while telling them,"I'll get my sister.I want
all of you to meet her."
