She raised her hand and slapped Debbie across the face. Immediately Debbie snapped out of her trance. She clutched her cheek and screamed until their father came stumbling into the room.
"What happened? Debbie? What's wrong? Oh, what happened to your cheek?" he asked, kneeling down by her.
"P-Petunia slapped me. I just told -. Oh I told her how it would be better for them if they went to that excellent boarding school in Asia." Debbie sobbed.
"That's not true! I did hit her, but it was because she was talking trash about Lily." Petunia exclaimed. Her father stood up, shaking with anger.
"You can NEVER hurt Debbie. Do you understand? Come here, I'll teach you a lesson." He said, moving toward Petunia.
"NO! You will not touch Petunia. She was only protecting me. Debbie should be the one to be punished." Lily yelled, pushing her father back.
"That's it! You are leaving for Abby's house, now! She'll deal with you!" her father said, pulling her by her hair. He threw her into her room. "Start packing; we're leaving in an hour!"
Lily dumped all her robes, schoolbooks, and other magical items into her trunk. Then she put all her Muggle things into a suitcase. After she finished packing, she sat on her open windowsill, looking out the open window. She was a little scared of going to her aunt's house. After all, she didn't know very much about Abby. Her mother always told her that she and Abby were as different as night and day. Lily was scared that she was like her father, cruel and without feelings. She knew that she had to spend the rest of the summer with her. Lily was miserable to be leaving Petunia for who knew how long.
Soon the hour was over and Lily and her father drove to Abby's home. After an hour of driving in silence, Robert Evans spoke in a rough voice, "While you are there, you will not, I repeat not breathe a word to anybody about your abnormalities. You will behave like a normal person. If you behave, Abby will take you to London to get to the place you call a school. And I'll make sure that she knows of this incident and will punish you severely." Her father said, grinning evilly. Lily had hoped that he had forgotten, but obviously he hadn't. He didn't say anything for the rest of the ride.
Soon they got to Miss Abby Thomas. It was an average-sized house, but it had a huge backyard. They walked up the front steps and rang the bell. It rang throughout the house and moments later a woman in her mid-30s answered the door. Like Lily's mother, she had flaming red hair and kind blue eyes. She smiled as they came into the entrance hall.
"Hello, Abby. How are you? This is Lily. She's a troublemaker, so you better watch her." Robert said.
"Oh nice to meet you. You don't look like a troublemaker." Abby said, greeting Lily. "Bob, are you leaving so soon? Stay a little."
"No, no, no. I need to leave. But before I do, let me tell you this. Lily has just talked back to me. She is a menace. Do your best to sort her out. Do whatever." He said, going for the door.
"Oh, I'll make sure that she gets what she deserves." Abby said, smiling sweetly. She stood outside, waving until Robert Evans sped out of sight. Then she slammed the door shut. "I'd like to give you what you deserve. A kick up the ass is what you deserve. You filthy piece of shit." Abby muttered under her breath, but Lily heard her.
"Excuse me?" Lily asked, looking at her aunt with wide eyes. (I was tempted to stop, but I'll keep writing ()
"Oh Lily. I forgot that you are here. Excuse my language. You probably don't know me very well, do you? Come to the living room, and we can have a chat." Her aunt said sweetly. Lily was surprised in her sudden change in character, but she followed her anyways.
Once in the living room, Abby sat down. "I should probably start at the beginning. Well, as you already know, your mother and I were identical twins. We got along very well. We spent every day together. We were never separated for even a day. Until we turned 11. On our 11th birthday, we had a party and we went to the zoo. It was a fun day that I'll never forget it. We had invited all of our friends and we have a great time. But that's not what I'll always remember. What I'll always remember was. it was on that day, at exactly 8:17 P.M. that I found out that I was a witch. ~~ Thank you! Well, what do you think?
