Well here we go!
Chapter 3 That boy from the past and this boy of mystery.
That morning Lily shot out of bed like a popgun! She was so excited about going to Hogwarts that she jumped down the stairs four at a time. She later however, regretted this seeing as there had been a little water on the eighth stair, resulting in her falling dramatically on her bum!
"Oh how very graceful," said her mother as she had rounded the corner just in time to see the young redhead land smack on the floor. Lily got up, rubbing her thigh, and still smiling despite the fact that she would probably be receiving a good bruise for her exuberance.
"Oh, Mom! Today's the day! Today I get to go to Hogwarts!" Lily excitedly began jumping about the room as if it were Christmas day. Her mother just chuckled and said,
"Well I don't know, but I thought that you might like a little food before you go. Especially since, you don't have to be at the train station for another three hours or so!" Lily just smirked at her mother and smiled.
"Well I suppose that I could bring myself to eat a little something before I go." Lily said this, making it sound as though she where on her way to another continent, where she would never see her family again.
Her mother sighed and said, "Well then, what would you like to eat before your long journey?" she said this in the exact same way that Lily had seconds ago. "Pancakes, Bacon, or perhaps a few Eggs?" Lily just headed back upstairs and called out, "Whatever you want's fine with me Mum," and began to walk towards her room.
On the way Lily looked at the door to her sister's room and oddly enough found that it was shut! Lily couldn't believe her eyes. Petunia had never, as long as she could remember, closed her door. Lily had very much wanted to go in and investigate, but just then her younger sister, Violet, had walked up beside her.
"Lily, what are doing?" Her sister rubbed her eyes groggily as she said these words. Lily looked down to her left, and gave Violet a look of obviousness. "Well, what's it look like I'm doing Vi? I'm staring at Petty's door hoping that perhaps she'll suddenly walk out of it and declare that she's a prat!" Violet just rolled her eyes at Lily and stomped her foot impatiently. "I'm serious Lily!" Lily sighed at her sister's cute freckled face and finally gave in.
"Well, incase you haven't noticed our dear older sister has decided that she will actually shut her door for the first time in her life!" Violet looked at Lily questioningly. "That's right folks; our sister has discovered that her door does indeed have hinges."
"And so, I was just standing here wondering what could have possibly posessed her to do such a thing." Lily then looked over at the door to her left. As her sister contemplated what she had said, she made a move towards the door, but to her surprise found that it had opened for her.
She stood there in shock. There was her usually ever so annoyingly perfect sister, with her hair limp at her sides. Her teeth had not been brushed, eyeliner was running down her cheeks, and her face held a red nose with puffy eyes that gave her the look as if she'd been crying all night.
Both sisters looked at Petunia with concern on their faces. They'd never seen her like this before. Sure, she'd cried all night before, but never had something upset her enough to forget to remove her makeup before she had started.
Petunia looked horrified to see her siblings standing before her, gaping at her appearance. She had obviously not expected to see them standing there, and was quite taken aback.
"Petty, what's wrong?" Violet asked as she looked at her very upset sister. Petunia just looked down at Violet as if she was asking her a question about a topic that she couldn't possibly understand!
And sure enough she slammed her door right there in their faces, and a muffled, "You wouldn't understand," could be heard from the door. Lily and Violet just looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.
While Violet had proceeded downstairs, Lily had opened the door to her own room and walked in to find her cat lying on her bed. His usual expression plastered on his face.
However, as soon as she had opened her door he had jumped out of her room and headed down the hall. He apparently had to take care of some, personal business in the litter box.
Lily's eyes then shifted over to a sleeping falcon in a large cage. Moments after setting eyes on the bird, it awoke. It looked at Lily with a sort of smirking glance and began to stretch its wings in greeting.
"Well good morning to you too." Lily went over to the cage and gently lifted the majestic animal out of it. She was reaching for Nuruku's water bowl when she heard her door slowly open.
She turned around to find her concerned mother standing at the door. "Lily," she started, "what's wrong with your sister? She's been in her room all morning and I think I can hear her crying, but she won't tell me what's wrong."
Lily just shrugged her shoulders. "Don't ask me. After all, she seems to think that I wouldn't understand." Her mother sighed and closed her eyes for a second before she spoke again. "Well I'll get it out of her. Oh and Lily dear, your father's downstairs! He just got back."
Lily jumped off her bed, causing Nuruku to screech and fly after her. "Oh sorry." She said to the bird as it settled itself back on her shoulder. "But you see Daddy's been off on a business trip in America, and he's just now getting back."
Bird gave her a look as if to say that he accepted her excuse. She proceeded down the stairs to find that her younger sister was already hugging her father with a loving squeeze.
Nuruku flew off of Lily's shoulder in advance and just in time too. For it didn't take Lily long to jump down the last three steps and run into the tall blonde man's arms.
"Well hello to you too Lily dear." He looked at his daughters with a loving smile. "But where's my little Munchkin?" Lily knew exactly who he was talking about. "Oh, she's up in her room crying about some that she says 'We wouldn't understand."
"Oh, I see. Well then it's probably best if we leave her alone then. Wouldn't you say so Butterfly?" Lily looked up at her father and smiled warmly at the word 'Butterfly'. It was her nickname that he had given her like he had given Petunia Munchkin, and Violet Pumpkin.
"Yeah I guess your right, Dad" But as Violet lead their father out of the house to see how much her "garden" had grown since he'd left, Lily sighed as she slumped down on the couch.
It was nice hearing her old nickname again. After all, like every nickname hers had reasoning behind it, and its reasoning brought back old yet sad memories. Petunia's nickname came from when she was younger and she looked like a Munchkin. Violet's came from her love of Pumpkin pie as well as Halloween. And Lily's came from when she was younger. Back before they had moved to London.
When Lily was little she loved to chase Butterflies. Petty could never understand why her sister wasted so much energy running around trying to catch a little flying bug! Especially since, as soon as she got her hands on one all she'd do was look at it and then let it go.
How's this a sad memory you ask? Well like I said this was before Lily's family moved to London. They used to live out in a more rural area when Lily was younger. And it was there that Lily made her first best friend. His name was Anton Mathews, and if you didn't know any better you would swear that they were brother and sister.
Anton was older than Lily by two years, but when you're best friends to the point that nothing could separate you age doesn't really matter. Especially when you're six and you've been friends with this person since you could walk.
But what was sad about it all was when Lily had to move. Her father had been given a new job offer that had involved moving closer to the main office. So Lily had to leave the country as well as leave the beautiful landscape, animals, and views. But she'd gladly live in an ugly, uninhabited, pit than leave her best friend. But leave Anton she did, and she hadn't been able to get in touch with him since.
Not wanting to dwell on such thoughts much longer Lily decided to go up to her room. Once she walked into her room, her eyes found their way to Nuruku. She looked at the bird curiously wondering how he'd managed to fly all the way back upstairs.
But the noise she heard in the next room distracted her from her thoughts. She could hear her sister sobbing through the wall. That was when Lily decided that she was bored enough to actually try to see what was bothering her sister so much.
She walked out of her room and turned to Petunia's door. She softy knocked and when no one replied she began to turn the handle. To her surprise the door gently opened to reveal her sister sitting on her bed and hugging her pillow as she cried.
Her eyes, Lily noticed seemed to be focused towards her left where her nightstand held her brush, a picture of her and her friend Lisa, and an empty soda can. From the things on the nightstand Lily guessed that Petty was looking at the picture.
"Petty," Lily started but stopped when her sister jumped. She had
apparently not even noticed the door opening nor Lily's entrance.
"Petty," Lily started again, "what's wrong?" Petunia just held her
pillow closer to herself as a tear rolled down her cheek.
"It's nothing..I'm fine...and besides.you...you wouldn't understand!"
She finished in a huff. At these words Lily felt as if someone was
turning up the heat. She hated t when people tried to judge what she
was and wasn't capable of understanding.
"Well," Lily began knowing that she had to try and keep herself calm,
"why don't you tell me what's wrong anyway. I mean I can tell that,
weather they'd understand or not, you need someone to talk to."
At this sentence Petunia sighed and slowly put her pillow back at the
head of her bed. "Oh, Lillith!" she blurted. Which surprised Lily
seeing as Petty hadn't used her childhood nickname since Lily was
seven, "its Lisa. She's moving away to France!"
At these words Lily felt her temper rise. How dare her sister say that
she wouldn't understand loosing one of her best friends! Especially
since she and Lisa had only known each other for two years, but Lily
and Anton had know each other so long that they considered each other
brother and sister.
But Lily decided to refrain from yelling at the moment. The last thing
her sister needed was to be yelled at right now! "It's Okay Petty,
um.you'll stay in touch!" Lily forced herself to smile, as she
remembered when her dad had told her that about Anton.
"You really think so?" Lily's smile disappeared for a second as she
looked into her sister's face. It was tear stained and looking at Lily
with hope all over it. "Of course!" Lily lied.
She didn't really believe that they would. After all, she hadn't
talked to Anton since they had moved. Even though her dad had promised
her that they could write to each other and see each other and
everything..they hadn't.
"Thanks for listening Lily!" Petunia looked up at her sister as if
they were still little girls who loved to play together, and Lily had
just told her that her birthday wish would come true. Lily smiled as
she left Petty's room wondering if here sister might be a little nicer
to her now.
Lily walked back into her room to find Malico hissing at Nuruku and,
Nuruku with a bit of Malico's fur in his beak and giving him a cocky
smirk. Lily then wondered if birds could even smirk, but just shook
her head as she placed her cat onto her bed and her bird in its cage.
She once again picked up the sixth book on her shelf and opened it up.
She then however, found that her thoughts were wandering off thinking
about everything from Hogwarts to breakfast.
Although by the time her mother called up the stairs telling her
breakfast was ready she had read a good twenty pages or so, she shoved
the book back on the shelf and sighed. She hadn't taken in a WORD of
the text.
The first thing Lily did when she reached the bottom of the stairs was
check the clock. Only an hour had gone by. But Lily wanted to be at
the station by 10:30 so she quickly scarfed down a few eggs and bacon,
before she run upstairs to get in the shower.
Lily was surprised when she saw how long it had taken her to shower.
It had only taken about fifteen minutes, the fastest shower Lily had
ever taken! Lily just shrugged as she started toweling herself off.
Forty-five minutes later Lily's red ringlets where dry resting just
past her shoulders. She then began putting on the outfit she had laid
out for herself last night.
She diced that on her first day she would where a dark blue short
sleeved shirt with long white jeans and wore a dark blue jacket around
her waist. 'Just incase it gets cold on the train' she thought.
She started looking through her trunk as she checked off items on
her mind. She didn't want to forget anything, who knew how long it
would take for Nuruku to bring anything she needed from home to her!
Lily was downstairs and ready to go at 10:15. She knew it wouldn't
take long to get to the station, and two minutes later, after Lily had
just about pestered him to death, her father and she were on their way
to the station.
Once they got to the station Lily froze. She suddenly couldn't
remember how to get onto, let alone find platform 9 ¾. But everything
suddenly came to her when she saw a group of people dressed oddly in
muggle clothes walk near a barrier and disappear.
Lily quickly kissed her father on the cheek, as he wished her good
luck and reminded her to write, before she headed trough the barrier.
Lily had to admit. It was pretty intimidating. Standing there before a
wall, that up until just a few days ago she would have sworn was
solid, knowing that you were going to run straight through it.
But as she began to run towards the platform she lost control of her
trolley and was forced to go through weather she wanted to or not. She
squeezed her eyes shut not knowing if she'd make it or not, but soon
opened her eyes to people bustling around and a huge scarlet steam
engine.
Lily just stood there for a few minutes.staring. She couldn't believe
she was actually here. It was as if all her dreams as a child were
coming true.
Meanwhile a boy about thirteen years old was sitting with his friend
Darren Jordan on the train. "I'm telling you mate," he said, "we're
gonna POUND Slytherin this year!" Darren just rolled his eyes. "Well
unless you can manage to whip those Chasers into shape I think you're
gonna be outa luck!"
The boy just rolled his eyes as he began to push his trunk under his
seat. Once he sat down he looked out the window. There standing in awe
was a young girl of about eleven years with dark red hair and bright
green eyes.
The boy shook his head and began inching his face closer to the
window. Darren looked at him with a confused expression. "Gee mate, I
didn't know you found that window so attractive!" he said with a smirk
on his face.
The boy turned around and kicked him playfully in the shin. He then
proceeded to leave the compartment while ignoring his friend's cry of,
"Hey! That really smarts!" and a , "Wait where are you going?!"
Lily was still admiring the train with interest as a boy with a light
blue shirt and black jeans made his way over to her. Only when the boy
was standing right in front of her did she shake her head and come out
of her trance.
"Hi." He said. Lily just looked at him. He looked so familiar, but
Lily couldn't think of anyone she knew who would be here. "Hi." She
replied not sure why someone would just suddenly get off the train and
start talking to her of all people.
"Say, would you mind telling me your name?" he asked. Lily looked at
him questioningly, but answered him all the same. "Lily, Lily Evans.
And you?" She had expected him to respond in the same way but that
certainly wasn't what happened at all.
The boy picked her up off her feet and swung her around as if they'd
known each other for years. Lily was shocked, why was this boy picking
her up like this when not only had they just met but he hadn't even
told her his name?!
A/N Well there we have it guys. Who's this new boy that seems to know
Lily so well eh? A cookie to the first person who guesses correctally!

Chapter 3 That boy from the past and this boy of mystery.
That morning Lily shot out of bed like a popgun! She was so excited about going to Hogwarts that she jumped down the stairs four at a time. She later however, regretted this seeing as there had been a little water on the eighth stair, resulting in her falling dramatically on her bum!
"Oh how very graceful," said her mother as she had rounded the corner just in time to see the young redhead land smack on the floor. Lily got up, rubbing her thigh, and still smiling despite the fact that she would probably be receiving a good bruise for her exuberance.
"Oh, Mom! Today's the day! Today I get to go to Hogwarts!" Lily excitedly began jumping about the room as if it were Christmas day. Her mother just chuckled and said,
"Well I don't know, but I thought that you might like a little food before you go. Especially since, you don't have to be at the train station for another three hours or so!" Lily just smirked at her mother and smiled.

"I'm serious Lily!" Lily sighed at her sister's cute freckled face and finally gave in.
"Well, incase you haven't noticed our dear older sister has decided that she will actually shut her door for the first time in her life!" Violet looked at Lily questioningly. "That's right folks; our sister has discovered that her door does indeed have hinges."
"And so, I was just standing here wondering what could have possibly posessed her to do such a thing." Lily then looked over at the door to her left. As her sister contemplated what she had said, she made a move towards the door, but to her surprise found that it had opened for her.

Once they got to the station Lily froze. She suddenly couldn't

suddenly came to her when she saw a group of people dressed oddly in
muggle clothes walk near a barrier and disappear.
Lily quickly kissed her father on the cheek, as he wished her good
luck and reminded her to write, before she headed trough the barrier.
Lily had to admit. It was pretty intimidating. Standing there before a
wall, that up until just a few days ago she would have sworn was
solid, knowing that you were going to run straight through it.
But as she began to run towards the platform she lost control of her
trolley and was forced to go through weather she wanted to or not. She
squeezed her eyes shut not knowing if she'd make it or not, but soon
opened her eyes to people bustling around and a huge scarlet steam
engine.
Lily just stood there for a few minutes.staring. She couldn't believe

Meanwhile a boy about thirteen years old was sitting with his friend

blue shirt and black jeans made his way over to her. Only when the boy
was standing right in front of her did she shake her head and come out
of her trance.
"Hi." He said. Lily just looked at him. He looked so familiar, but
Lily couldn't think of anyone she knew who would be here. "Hi." She
replied not sure why someone would just suddenly get off the train and
start talking to her of all people.
"Say, would you mind telling me your name?" he asked. Lily looked at
him questioningly, but answered him all the same. "Lily, Lily Evans.
And you?" She had expected him to respond in the same way but that
certainly wasn't what happened at all.
The boy picked her up off her feet and swung her around as if they'd
known each other for years. Lily was shocked, why was this boy picking
her up like this when not only had they just met but he hadn't even
told her his name?!
A/N Well there we have it guys. Who's this new boy that seems to know
Lily so well eh? A cookie to the first person who guesses correctally!
