James and Sydney's parents came in and said it was present time. Some of their relatives were looking strangely at Lily but she was so excited and wanted James to open her present that she didn't notice. When they gathered around Lily was near James but sitting with Sirius and Remus. Some of James cousins were staring at Lily with her red hair and green eyes. She didn't fit in but they of course knew Remus and Sirius. Lily was oblivious to all that and was staring at her present wishing it was closer to James, so he would open it first. As James was reaching for his first present Lily's floated up and flew in front of him. James was so surprised and wanted to know who did that. Lily was surprised. James parents were staring at each other they knew Lily was a muggle and didn't want anyone to do magic in front of her, but they felt the power coming from her. They walked up to her and asked what happened.
"I don't know one minute I was staring at my present hoping James would open it first and the next it was flying!" She tried to explain sounding surprised. Remus and Sirius were staring at her. "I'm sorry if I did anything wrong things like that always happen when I'm around. Its like someone is trying to pull a big joke on me." She said almost crying.
"Things always happen like that when you're around?" Sirius asked
"I'll understand if you don't want to hang out with me any more." and she got up to leave.
"No don't leave, you're a witch." Remus proudly said.
"I'm a WHAT!!" she shouted
"No its ok I'm a wizard. You said your birthday was in two weeks? You should be getting your Hogwarts letter soon then." James said.
"Hold on, slow down, I'm a witch? Don't you have to learn magic, wear pointy hats and fly on brooms? What letter my parties in two but my birthdays in one." she exclaimed.
"Yes. The school were going to teaches us, the letter tells you, you have been accepted to the school, and yes you fly on brooms I've got one you want to see?" asked James.
"Cool! Is the school a boarding school and yeah I want to see your broom!" She was jumping up and down with excitement. All the older relatives were witches and wizards so they understood what was happening. But astounded that a girl of 10 could levitate a present 10 feet and land it perfectly with out wand or schooling so they knew she would be strong.
Sydney was about to explode she had friends but none were like lily and her athletic; fun and tomboyish. She was excited when she met Lily but had known that they wouldn't go to school together. Now they would be able to get to know each other better.
Lily was excited! Like Sydney she hoped they could become friends. She also liked the guys and thought Sirius was a little cute. She hoped she got a letter and could go to the school and learn magic. She loved her life and friends now but always felt like something was missing. It was June 14-she thought, only 7 more days I hope I get a letter.
The next thing she knew Sydney was pulling her up the stairs and talking about her broom and some sport she had never heard of called Quidditch. Lily was a sports fanatic she could tell you the rules to any sport and at least one famous player who played it. So she had to find out about Quidditch it sounded fun.
"See, this is my broom. It's a lighting 200 the best one on the market until last week they came out with the arrow 300" Sydney said proudly.
"Can you show me how to fly?" Lily asked
"Sure, but not today. We have to go to an open field, on the out skirts of town, so no one will see us fly. We don't have time today because of James and my birthday." she said.
"Oh, I forgot in the excitement!" Lily said
"Hey I heard that! And am hurt, how could you forget about me. I'm so cute and remember able" said James.
"James get over your self. And if anything Sirius is cuter and more unforgettable that you." Lily said and walked off
All the guys were staring at where she was standing about to fall over.
Sydney smiled and said "Serves you right you walked right into that one except she was wrong about one thing." all the guys turned to look at her and she continued, "Remus is the cutest" and with that walked off.
That snapped James back to his senses and he asked, "Did my sister just say Remus is cute, and Lily say Sirius was cute? What about me?"
"Like Sydney said, you walked right into that one with Lily. And she thinks I'm cute! Do you think she was serious? Don't feel bad Lily is the only girl who hasn't fallen for you. Maybe you are losing your touch, even though you are only eleven." Sirius said
James looked at him and said "Shut up Lily wasn't being serious. At least I hope not. Wait a minute. Its not like I care. She is only a friend. So what if she doesn't think I'm cute."
"James your losing it and you like her," Sirius said and then Remus joined in. "James and lily sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G--- " then James hit both of them and they didn't get any farther.
"Shut up. No I don't like her. Were just friends" he said.
"Keep saying that to your self, and you actually might start believing it. Hey, if you don't like her, can I ask her out?" Remus asked
"No." James practically shouted.
"Calm down. Getting a little over protective of Lily? And anyways Remus you can't ask her out I am. She even said I was cute." Sirius said with a smile.
James just stomped out of the room. Both friends were smirking behind his back. They had been having a bit of fun with him. They could tell he liked Lily they did too. They just wanted to see how bad he had it for her.
Lily and Sydney had heard the whole conversation. Lily didn't know whether to be happy Remus and Sirius liked her or hurt that James didn't.
"I guess the best thing would pretend like I didn't hear that, right?" Lily asked.
"I don't know," Sydney said."Who do you like?"
Lily smiled "l really only met them yesterday but they all appeal in different ways. Remus because he is caring and a gentleman, Sirius because of how he jokes and James because he is a jock."
"I agree with you about Remus. But after you get to know Sirius, you will have numerous pranks pulled on you. This morning they dyed my hair pink when I washed my hair. They had put the dye in the bottle." You could tell she was Mad." We have to think of a way to get them back," Sydney said.
"I don't know that sounds mean," she said then smirked evilly," I like it. How about at my party" lily suggested.
"Yes I think I have some gum that will numb their vocal cords. They will move their mouth but no sound will come out. Anyway Lils you have to prank them before they can do it to you."
When the guys found Lily and Sydney they were laughing.
"What so funny?" Remus asked.
Sydney was thinking hard but came up with nothing.
"Sydney was just telling me stories of the three of you when you were younger." Lily stated matter-of-factly.
The guys blushed they had all thought of the same thing. When they were five James's older sister was babysitting them, they were acting like heathens so she threatened to put a fashion show on with them dressed as girls. They didn't believe her so kept goofing off. She caught them, and put make-up on them, and dressed them up in Sydney's clothes. When their parents got home they had to walk up and down and show the clothes. They hadn't known at the time but Veronica, James older sister, had gotten pictures. They found out a few weeks ago when she threatened to send them to the daily profit because they had been snooping in her room.
They all started babbling at one time.
"Its not true! We didn't dress up as girls!"
"We were only 5!"
"She tied us up!"
They all looked at each other and shut up at once. Lily and Sydney started laughing again. Lily had had no idea.
Then Veronica came up," Would you like to see the pictures Lily?"
"That would be wonderful," she said. "Oh y'all were so cute. What happened?"
"Ha Ha, that's not funny " James said.
"We were tricked." Sirius said.
"We are even cuter now than then, Sydney even said so." Remus pointed out.
"That was until I saw these pictures," Sydney replied.
"Needless to say they pay attention to my threats now," Veronica laughed." I wonder if I could get them to do that again?" she pondered.
"No way!" the guys shouted. "Were a lot smarted now."
"That's debatable." Veronica said.
"Hey-" they started then Veronica waved the pictures and they were quiet.
"Lily would you like these? They are great black mail, and I already have them copied at least a dozen times in different places" she said.
"Sure I would, I might even get them framed." with that the guys jaws dropped.
Around 8 that night Lily went home.
The next week Lily spent hanging around with the guys and Sydney. Soon they were all best friends.
