Love is always easier said than done
Disclaimer: I am not J.K.Rowling, no matter how much I wish I were. If I owned the stuff I write then I'd be rich, strolling along the beaches of Hawaii, hand in hand with Daniel Radcliffe. Ahem…. You get the picture.
Surprises:
"What", shrieked Lily. " Sam you never told me about this. Or else I would have never agreed to come."
" Relax Lil. Please, I found out only yesterday."
" Really!"
" Yeah. I would never lie to you about it Lily. After all he is your crush"
" Whaaaaaaatttttttttttttt. Sam I thought you knew me better. Umph… So much for a best friend."
" LOL. I know you too well Lily. It's ok. No use hiding it from me anymore. I know you like I know myself. This surely isn't hate. In my world, we call this unconsolidated love"
"Unconsolidated??? Is that even a proper word????"
"Don't distract me Lily. I know what you are unto!!"
" Well, Ok. Leave this topic, ok! I am getting really annoyed."
" But Lily…"
" No buts Sam. I said leave it."
" Humph… Ok"
" That's more like the Sam I thought was…"
But before Lily could complete her sentence, her cell phone started ringing and she hurriedly answered the call.
" Hello. Yes this is Lily speaking… What??? When?? Oh my god. I'll be there in a few minutes"
Lily's voice cracked as she spoke on the phone. Sam felt that something was wrong.
" What happened Lily?? Come on don't cry. What happened?"
" My parents…"
" What happened to your parents?"
" They were in a car accident. Their car skidded off the road and fell down a cliff. They are in the hospital right now. I am really sorry Sam. I must go ok. I am really scared."
Sam hugged Lily.
" Don't worry. Nothing will happen. I will drop you at the hospital"
" Thank you so much for being with me Sam."
" Anything for you Lily. Come on now. Let's hurry"
Sam drove over to the hospital. Lily literally jumped down from the car and ran.
Sam picked up her cell phone and rang Sirius's number.
" Hello"
" Sirius, it's me Sam. Listen, I don't think that Lily will be staying with us"
" Why Sam??? We have already made plans to play matchmaker. Why are you backing down the last minute?? This isn't right of you…"
" Are you finished Sirius?? Look, Lily's parents got into an accident. So I doubt if she will be staying in her own house let alone my house. I am in the hospital with her and she has just gone down to see her parents. So I just thought I should call you up and let you know. I get so much for a good friend. Humph…"
" Oh! I am truly and extremely very sorry. I really apologize. I should have kept my mouth shut. Take care of her. Are her parents serious??"
" I don't know as yet. I'll ring you up once I have news. Ok. I must go now. Don't tell James about this or anyone else for that matter. I don't think lily can handle it. Call you later. Bye"
" Bye Sam. Take care"
" Bye Sirius"
Sam hung up and went to the reception.
" Mr. and Mrs. Evans. Where can I find them?"
" They are the ones who had an accident right. Room number 234. 4th door to your right in the first floor. They are in the ICU."
" Thank you"
Sam rushed over and found Lily sitting in a corner seat hugging her and crying. Sam had never seen Lily in this state. Lily never cried in the open.
" Oh! Dear. Lily, what happened??"
" They are dead, Sam. I didn't even get to say goodbye. Where will I live?? "
" Oh goodness gracious Lily. Come on now. I know this is hard on you. But you can come and live with me. Don't you worry? I am and will always be there for you."
" Thank you so much Sam"
" Well now let's get going"
The next week passed in a blur. All Lily could remember was the funeral and Petunia's haughty behavior during the funeral.
Before they knew, it was time to go aboard the Hogwarts Express.
" By the way Sam, I never got to tell you. I am Head Girl this year."
" Wow, Lily. But do you know something?? James is head boy"
" What???????? How did the good for nothing loser get that position"
" Lily, mind your words. He is not a good for nothing fellow and definitely not a loser. You have not even talked to him properly for a day. You are too quick to judge people. Appearances can be deceptive. If only you knew why he pranked Snape and Malfoy, you will regret every word you said now."
" Why did he then???"
" I am not the person to tell you and it is not in my place to tell you also. When time comes, James will explain everything to you."
" If you say so. Ok fine. I need to go to the Head's Compartment. I will see you in a while."
