Chapter 9: Don't you just love Halloween?

School seemed to be passing to quickly for Lily. It was already October even though it only felt as if they were there for a week. Halloween was approaching to quickly. It was already the twenty eighth. Remus left to visit his mother a few days ago, and when he got back he had a little bit of bruises and scratches. Nobody seemed to know why.

Life was still hard for Lily, even though James had stopped trying to talk to her like he use to. She still got called mudblood usually every time a Slytherin passed. Lily never reacted at all, and this was what made the Slytherins furious. So they usually tried to gain up on her, screaming insults at her, but she never said anything to them. James kept his word and never tried to help again.

Lily wasn't sure if she was happy or upset about that. She was glad that her friends were there for her though. One thing you do not want to do is get on Athena's bad side. Even if they didn't now may curses Athena really knew how to throw a punch as she so kindly demonstrated on a Slytherin second year girl for insulting Lily, Athena, and Alice.

Even Alice who is usually so sweet and kind, started telling off Slytherins with a rather rude choice of words. This seemed to surprise anyone who was listening, especially Professor McGonagall who decided it was necessary to take away ten points from Gryffindor.

The Marauders pranks seemed to lessen as they reached Halloween, though there was still a few random ones every now and then. Lily had a feeling that they had something planned for Halloween, so she decided to watch them carefully until Halloween was over.

Before she knew it, it was already the thirty first and everyone started to make their way to the Great Hall for the Halloween feast. About ten minutes after the feast began there was a small rumble and then a loud undistinguishable voice came out of nowhere.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, for your entertainment tonight on this fine holiday a certain group of students from the student body has prepaired a wonderful treat for you. In a minute someone that you may dislike will come up to you and ask you a trivia question if you get the question right then you will get a treat if you happen to get the question wrong then I am sad to saw a trick will be performed on you. Now without any further adieu let the games begin!"

Lily looked around amazed for there was hundreds of people swarming around the Great Hall even though everyone remained in their seat. Athena had a girl she never seen before ask her a question. Athena glared at the girl, but the girl just stood there and waited for an answer.

"Bite me!" Athena said with a death stare.

"No I'm sorry the answer was the Pope, you get a trick." The next thing they knew Athena was covered with the words 'Who made November first All Saints Day? The Pope.' and then the mysterious girl disappeared.

"Whoa!" said Lily with wide eyes, "Who was that?"

"My cousin." grunted Athena through clenched teeth.

Lily had no time to reply to that, because the person who next showed up was totally unexpected. Standing in front of her was her disgruntled sister, Petunia.

"Petunia?! What are you doing here?!" Lily managed to get out.

Petunia seemed to not even notice Lily speak.

"Lily. What is the name of the Druid's god of the dead?"

Once Lily got over her shock, she thought about the question. She remembered this from school before she came to Hogwarts. In history class they learned all about Halloween, so she was pretty sure she knew the answer. Thinking once more she was almost certain that her answer was right so she gave it a shot.

"Samhain." she said simply.

"Correct, you get a treat." And with that Petunia handed her a chocolate frog and then disappeared.
James was sitting, watching the scene with great interest. He wanted to see who everyone hated the most. He was most interested in seeing who the wonderful Lily most hated. By the way she hated him he assumed it was him, but he was surprised to see a rather ugly girl with a horse's face and a look that just screamed 'I despise you!'

James listened closely and found out the girls name was Petunia. He was also very surprised when Lily actually got her question right looking around he'd say that just about everyone except for about six people hadn't managed to. After she left he listened closely to their conversation.

"Who was that?" asked Athena.

"Petunia…" said Lily rather sadly.

"Who's Petunia?" asked Alice.

"My sister," then she added, "If she even calls me her sister anymore."

"What?!"

"Well, she uh doesn't like the idea of me being a witch, and she displays that with the wonderful word freak!" Lily said in a fake cheerful voice.

James thought this way pretty sad. It was horrible that Lily wasn't even get accepted in her own house. He was also very surprised that that girl was Lily's sister. She looked absolutely nothing like her.

"How can she think such a thing? She's your sister!"

"Well it might have been the time when I was eight and I accidentally threw her out the window with my mind when she threw my dolls out the window." Lily looked at their faces and then added, "It was out of the first floor window, so no harm done, except for complete confusion."

"Or it also might have been the time on my seventh birthday that she decided to push my face in my cake, such a sweet girl," she added sarcastically.

"What happened?" They asked curiously.

"Well," she said, a grin growing on her face, "She ended up with giant purple boils all over her face, they lasted for three weeks!"

Her friends laughed. James had to stop himself from laughing, too. Just thinking of Petunia with giant purple boils was actually pretty funny. His thoughts were cut off however by Sirius.

"Don't you just love Halloween?"

After that time seemed to pass by quickly, and after they got out of their two weeks of detention, time seem to go by in no time. It was already December and Christmas seemed to invade everyone's mind. About two weeks later Remus had to go visit his mother again.

"Isn't it strange that he has to go visit his mother every month?" James asked.

"Yeah, a bit." Sirius agreed, "You would think the poor woman would be dead by now!"

"Sirius!"

"What?! He goes every month to see her. You think she would either get better or worse, wouldn't you?"

"Yeah, I suppose…"

"I guess sickness runs through their family." Peter added.

"What do you mean Peter?" asked James.

"Well every time he comes back, he looks like the one who was sick."

"Yeah, I noticed that too." Sirius said.

"Well, do you think he's lying to us?" James asked.

"Dunno, why would he lie?" asked Sirius.

"I dunno!"

The next day most of the school boarded the train to go home and visit their families.
