"Yeah. She really does." Abby echoed
Soon they finished picking out the dresses. As the women were paying, Lily brought the baby to his mother. "Thank you so much. Could you come over for tea before term starts?" Clarissa asked.
"Er... I'm not sure. But I'll try really hard." Lily promised. "Good bye!"
At home, Lily cornered Abby. "Let me see the dress! What color is it? How long is it?"
Abby laughed, "Hold your horses. I'll put it on and you can see for yourself," she said, going up the stairs. While Abby changed, Lily made them both some tea to drink.
"Well, what do you think?" Abby said, coming down the stairs in a pale blue, floor-length dress with a diamond trimming on the bottom.
"Wow! It's gorgeous. It looks great with your eyes." Lily said in awe. And indeed, the pale blue went with Abby's sapphire eyes.
"Thanks. Oh, you made tea. Well I'll go change and then you can tell me all about your life and friends at Hogwarts.
Just as promised, Abby came down for tea and Lily told her all about Hogwarts.
"… And then he asked me out. We've been going out for 6 months now." Lily finished.
"Wow. What a story. So, I bet this James is a really cute one. How does he look? Like Prince Charming?" Abby asked at the end of Lily's story.
A dreamy expression came on Lily's face and she said, "Actually, I think he is my Prince Charming. He's so cute and just perfect. He has really messy black hair and warm hazel eyes. He's about 6 foot and muscular but not with bulging muscles. He is a Chaser for Gryffindor and the Captain of the Quidditch team."
Abby shook her head, "If only this girl realizes how much she actually loves him. Now I don't think that 15 is a good age to be so much in love, but I say she is and she's willing to spend the rest of her life with him. I just hope that he won't take advantage of that." Abby thought to herself.
The next Monday dawned warm and sunny. Lily was up early, preparing an early breakfast for herself and her aunt, as they had to be at Diagon Alley by 10. At eight, Abby was up and ready to leave. They ate a quick breakfast and left for London. They arrived at 9:30 so they had time to grab a drink at the Leaky Cauldron. As they walked up the Tom, the young cashier at the pub, he said, "Nice to see you, Ms. Thomas. And who is this young lady? Are you a Hogwarts student, Miss?
"Hello, Tom. This is my niece, Lily Evans. She has come to live with me." Abby said, introducing Lily.
"Well, Miss Lily. How do you do? I reckon I've seen you around here before. What year are ye?" Tom asked kindly, filling a pitcher of pumpkin juice.
"I'm fine. Abby, it's almost 10! We better hurry!" Lily exclaimed, checking her watch. The two women quickly hurried to the back of the pub.
