A/N: This story is based off the new book by Sophie Kinsella Can You Keep a Secret?, she is one of my favorite authors besides J.K. of course so I thought why not combine the two.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, the plot or a lot of the lines, but I also don't intend to offend the people who do I have nothing but respect for Ms. Rowling and Ms. Kinsella
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Of course I have secrets.
Of course I do. Everyone has a few secrets. It's completely normal.
I'm not talking about huge earth-shattering secrets. Not the-prime-minister-is-planning-to-bomb-japan-and-only-Steven-Tyler-cansave-the-world type secrets. Just Normal, everyday little secrets.
Like for example, Just off the top of my head:
1)My diamond earrings are cubic zirconium.
2)I love cockroach clusters, which are considered the most grotesque thing in the wizarding world.
3)I Have no Idea who is on the Wizengamot ,or what they do.
4)I weigh 118 pounds not 108, like my ex. Michael thought. (To be fair it's only one number different.)
5)Sometimes when we used to kissed I would have a huge urge to laugh.
6)I've already spent the money my Dad told me to save till after seventh year. (Those dress robes were just irresistible)
7)Sammy the goldfish is not the same gold fish that Mum and Dad told petunia and Me top look after when they went to Egypt.
8) I've always had this feeling deep down that I'm not like any one else, that there is an amazingly exciting new life waiting for me just around the corner.
9) I have no idea what my father is talking about .
"Lily, Lily are you listening to me, My job, it's been transferred from here in Paris to London we'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon. I talked to your headmistress she's transferring you to a school in Scotland, Pigzits or something…"
"Hogwarts?"
"Yes that was it, anyway, your Mother will be leaving tonight. Petunia and I will leave Thursday your mum will meet you at the airport in London. Go up stairs and get some rest."
And that is how I found myself seated, in first class, on an airplane from Paris to London, gripping the armrests tightly until my knuckles are white.
10)I am scared of Flying
I've live in the wizarding world for six years and I still can't stand to be up in the air. Obviously, it's not as though I can't get on a plane, I would just prefer to be on the ground. "This is your captain speaking, we've hit some clear-air turbulence , everything will be fine."
Oh no.
Someone behind me is screaming " Everyone keep calm, just keep calm"
We're going to die.
We're Going to die.
" I'm Sorry?" says the guy next to me, he has an English accent, he looks about my age.
Did I Just say that aloud.
"We're going to die" I stare into his face he has dark, messy hair. Hazel eyes hidden behind wire rimmed glasses.
" I don't think we're going to die," he says "they said it was just turbulence-"
" Of course they did they're not exactly going to say; Well folks, that's it- you're all goners'!" The plane gives another terrifying dip "We're not going to make it. I know we're not . This is it. I'm sixteen years old for Gods sake I haven't accomplished anything. I've not had children. I've never saved I life. I haven't climbed a mountain. I don't have a tattoo. I've never even had sex for Pete's sake."
"Excuse me?" I hear the guy saying but I jus keep blubbering on.
"My sister hates me, she thinks I'm a freak I know my father feels the same way. I'm never going to be able to maintain a real relationship, I mean Michael dumped me because I wouldn't sleep with him. Half the time I don't have the slightest Idea what people are talking about."
Oh God. I'm completely losing it.
Every time the plane would bump another torrent of words would come spilling out of my mouth like a waterfall.
"…she's like an everything champion, Petunia…. I was nothing in comparison."
"…118 really…not 108... Only one number difference."
"… this awful girl, Katrina whose transferring too, so I could never get away from her…when she annoys me I feed her cat acid pops.."
"…there is this sweet girl, Emma who said she was thinking about transferring…I hope she does…whenever one of us want to get out of a study session or bad conversation of something the other comes up and says , could we go over the astronomy homework, or something along those lines…"
I can't tell him this he's a muggle. I could go to jail!
"…roasted pepper my complete favorite food…"
"…Cockroach clusters… I have one with pumpkin juice before every big date…"
"…I gave him all his gold fish food… I honestly don't know what happened…"
"…perfect date would start out wit champagne appearing magically on the table…"
"…I know knight in shining armor is not exactly an option but a big part of me wants a huge romance… something exciting…to be swept off my feet"
"… sometimes I feel that there's a whole new, thrilling life waiting out there for me, if I can just…"
"Excuse me, miss?"
"What" I look up dazedly, "What is it" the air hostess smiles down at me.
"We've landed."
"We've landed?"
I look around, I see the airport through the planes window. I feel like Dorothy in the wizard of Oz, I was swirling around and now I've woken up and all is normal again.
"We're not bumping anymore," I say stupidly.
"We stopped bumping quite a while ago," says the English guy sitting next to me.
"We're…we're not going to die?"
"We're not going to die."
Suddenly, like a ton of bricks it hits me. I look straight at him. I've been blubbering on for two hours about god only knows what to a complete stranger.
I want to get off this plane right now. "I'm sorry," I say , "You should have stopped me"
"It would have been a little difficult," he pauses, a tiny half smile pulls at his lips, "You were on a bit of a roll."
I'm getting off this plane, now. "I have to go." I grab my bag and start running off the plane.
"Will you be Okay?" he yells after me, I pay it no mind. I see my mother calling me.
"Lily, Lily! Are you alright, I heard your plane hit some turbulence." I throw my arms around her I can feel tears rolling down my cheeks. "Lily…"
"I'll be fine Mum just a little shaken." We pick up my luggage and head for our new home I lay down on my bed for some time, the last thing that goes through my head before I doze off is: At least he's muggle I'll never see him again.
