(A/N) I'm back! Don't worry. I have ideas now so I hope that I'll also update more. I almost forgot:
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter and I never will. So if you want to sue, just get a life. I won't post this again.
Chapter 4:
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.
Chapter 5
"… What? A… w- witch? Like you went to Hogwarts? But how come I never knew? Why did I come here?" Lily asked, dumfound.
"Yes, I did go to Hogwarts. We weren't sure if you were a witch, so I couldn't tell you unless we were sure. And I moved to France before you were11. Then I lost contact with your family because I had to move around so much. I had just moved here last month. When Dumbledore found out that I'm back, he wrote to me, asking if I would like to take you. He said that you were being abused, but he couldn't take you since he was not your appointed guardian. I agreed and I worked it out with you father. From now on, you'll live with me." Abby said.
"Really? That sounds great! But, what about Petunia? Where will she go? She doesn't work, so she can't get her own place." Lily asked, suddenly worried.
"Don't worry, hun. I'll ask her to move in with us. Is that alright?" Abby asked, getting up.
"That sounds great! I can't wait to tell my friends." Lily said, following Abby up the stairs. Abby stopped in front of the second door to the right.
"This is your room. I hope you like it." She said, opening the door. Lily went in and her mouth dropped open. She was in a large room with lavender-colored walls and cream carpet. Her furniture was a light color. On one side of the room was a queen-sized bed with a mirrored headboard. On the other was a huge entertainment center with a nice sized TV, DVD player, VCR, and computer. Next to that was a large desk with an inkpot and a beautiful quill. (My dream room mixed with a little of my sister's room)
"Wow! But, isn't this too expensive?" Lily asked.
"Nonsense. I want the best for my niece. I always missed technology at Hogwarts since I was Muggle born so I thought that you would like a TV and computer." Abby said, happy and proud that Lily liked the room so much. "Now, did you get your Hogwarts letter yet? We have to go to get your items soon." Abby asked.
"Yes… Oh I forgot. I told my friend Katie that I'm going with her. I have to right to her. Can she come with us?" Lily asked.
"Of course. You can use my owl. Just blow this whistle twice. I'm going to get lunch." Abby said, exiting the room. Lily sat down and opened her journal and her rainbow ink.
Katie,
Guess what! I'm living with my aunt now! She's my mom's twin and she's really nice. She is also a witch. I just found that out. Since your folks always took me to Diagon Alley before, I asked my aunt (her name's Abby) to take you too. She agreed. Could you ask Ally to come with us on Monday to Diagon Alley? Thanks. See ya. I'm gonna eat lunch now.
Byes
Lil-Baby"There. That looks good." Lily said, closing the journal. She went down the stairs to find a huge platter of sandwiches and a tall pitcher of lemonade.
"Lily. There you are. Here is lunch. In an hour I have to leave; my good friend is getting married next month and she needs help to pick out a dress. I also need to get my dress, as I'm one of the bridesmaids. You are welcome to come if you want to." Abby said, coming down the stairs. Lily eagerly nodded.
"I'd love to. Is she going to wear a Muggle wedding dress, or white dress robes?"
"Well, we're going to go to Madame Lucille's. The styles there are Muggle, but most of them have a magical touch. The other bridesmaid is Clarissa Bloom. She just got married 1 ½ years ago. She had a strapless white dress. There were glowing, iridescent jewels along the bottom and the neckline." Abby said, eating a sandwich. They soon finished with lunch and went for the Flooing Room. "Now, remember. It's called Madame Lucille's. You go first." Abby instructed, holding out the container of Floo Powder. Lily took a pinch and stepped into the grate.
"Madame Lucille's!" Lily shouted and disappeared in the flames. After spinning round and round for a while, Lily slowed down. When she stopped revolving, Lily threw out her hands and landed in a large room full of beautiful dresses. She took one step forward and her sooty clothes turned sparkling clean.
"Welcome to Madame Lucille's where you are guaranteed to find a perfectly magical dress for all you special occasions." A voice said out of nowhere. Moments later, Abby arrived.
"Come on, let's find my friend." Abby said, dragging Lily over to two women about Abby's age. "Clarissa, Shelli. Nice to see you. This is my niece, Lily. She is staying with me until she leaves for Hogwarts." Abby said, introducing them. Shelli was a petite woman with soft blond hair and hazel eyes. Clarissa was as tall as Abby with curly dark brown hair and dark blue eyes. She was balancing a baby on her hip.
"Aw! You brought your baby. He's so cute. What did you name him, again?" Abby cooed, shaking the baby's hand.
"Orlando. David, my husband was supposed to pick him up, but he had extra work at the Ministry. I don't know what to do." Clarissa said.
"I could take care of him. I really don't have anything to do. I'll could watch him until you are done picking out you dresses." Lily volunteered.
"Are you sure? I don't want to bother you."
"Of course. I love babies." Lily said. Clarissa handed over the baby and his bag.
"Thank you very much."
"Sure thing. Hi Orlando. Curly Orli. Come on, you cutie pie." Lily cooed, taking the baby to a nearby chair and mirror.
"She seems to have a knack with kids." Clarissa said, watching Lily play peek-a-boo with the infant.
