Times of Change
Ok, this is a fic about lily and James in their final year of Hogwarts. I have no idea how long it going to be so I'll just see what happens, this is my first fanfic for this site so be nice!
------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1 It was the last day of the school holidays and Lily Evens was sitting in her room polishing her head girl badge. She'd got the letter telling her she was going to be head girl two weeks before and as a reward her mum had given her some money which she had changed into wizard gold. She had brooded over what to buy with the money for a while, but eventually decided to buy an owl because she was fed up of using the owls at the post office. She smiled as she what had happened when she had come in to show her family her new barn owl, which she had named Nicodemus.
******** "He-llo, I'm ho-ome" Lily called as she stepped inside her house. "We're in here dear," Her mum called back from the living room. Lily entered the Evans' living room carrying Nicodemus' cage under one arm and shopping bags, with her school supplies under her other arm. Petunia had been filing her nails while on the phone to one of her airhead friends. When she saw Lily her eyes travelled down to the cage and a look of disgust crossed her face. She muttered a hurried "I'll call you back" put the phone down with a bang and said coldly, "What the hell are you playing at, bringing that dirty, great thing into our lounge, what if the neighbours see?" She craned her neck to look out the window as if she was expecting to see a crowd of spectators. "It's an owl Petunia, not a thing and I bought him with the money mum and dad gave me for becoming head girl. And you can stop looking out the window, the neighbours don't give a damn. You see, unlike you they don't spend their whole lives spying people through their bedroom widows," Lily replied calmly. "Mum?!?" Petunia's voice was getting higher and higher as she went on, "Tell her to bring that thing back to where she got it or throw it out the window. Wait not out the window, someone might see.ehh.she could... well I don't know how exactly, just tell her to get rid of it! What if one of my friends see it, they'll think I'm a freak, my life will be ruined, I'll be a social disgrace." Petunia stopped talking and took a huge breath but before she could go on, her mum interrupted. "Petunia dear, I think your getting a little bit worked up over a tiny, little thing. Lily and her owl will be gone by next week and she'll keep it upstairs so no one will see. Won't you Lily?" Lily could see her mum was trying not to smile, "Yeh, whatever keeps ickle Tunia happy" Lily replied. "DON'T CALL ME THAT!!" Petunia screeched lunging forward towards Lily, but Lily was too fast for her and she stepped out of the way causing Petunia to crash into the coffee table. Petunia stopped and screamed, Lily took this chance to run up the stairs grinning.
****************** Lily smiled and put her badge on her bedside table, then climbed into bed thinking about Hogwarts.
