Thanks for the reviews so far. I really appreciate (sp?) them. If
anyone wants to talk to me look up my pen name on search, my email is
there. Sorry about the end of this chapter being cut off before. It's up
now though.
The next moring Lily sulked around the house going from room to room only to find them half empty. A truck had been by earlier to take some things to April and Petunia's new home.
Lily wakled into the kitchen to the smell of pancakes and sausage. She sat at the small table with her chin in the hand as Matt set the table and served the food to her.
"Morning, Lily, " said Matt trying to sound happy. Neither of them had gotten much sleep last night.
" Morning...dad.....," said Lily not sure what to call him, "smells good."
Matt sat down and they started to eat. " So, " said matt, " How about we take a trip to Diagon Alley today?"
Lily looked up and smiled at him. "Can we?"
"Why not?" He asked, "We'll leave as soon as your ready."
Lily ate her food quikly and rushed upstairs to get dressed. ten minutes later Lily hurried down the stairs and almost tripped on the last step. "I'm ready!"
"O.k," said Matt ,"Let's go!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When they arrived at Diagon Alley they went straight to Gringotts like the letter said.
Matt handed over 1000 dollars to the grubby looking goblin on the other side. "I'd like to make an account for Lily Evans and put $950.00 in it. The rest of the money I would like in change please."
The goblin did as he was told and handed the new knuts, sickles, Galleons to Matt. Matt handed the money to Lily and she put it in her black purse.
Once outside Matt turned to Lily,"Would you like me to stay while you get your school things or can I go get some new things for the house to replace what April and Petunia took?"
" You can go, " said Lily, " I'll be fine"
"Meet me at the Leaky Cauldron in 2 hours" said Matt to Lily's retreating back.
"O.k," said Lily without turning around.
Lily waked from store to store buying the things on her list. Lily noticed that there were two boys following her into every store right after her. Lily, being a shy, easy going person, tried to ignore them. Finally, she left the last store (Olivanders) the two boys approached her.
"Hi", said one with blonde hair. Lily couldn't help but think that he was pretty good good looking.
"Hi" said Lily, "Can I help you?"
"Yes you can, " said the second boy with black hair who was ecually attractive as his friend. " But, first things fist. I'm Severus Snape, and this is Lucius Malfoy."
" Lily, Evans...Evans." Lily didn't want to add Danes because that wod lead to questions Lily really didn't want ot answer right now.
"Nice to meet you" said Lucius. At least they have manners, thought Lily, but I hope it's not just to get me to be their friend. "Do you mind answering a few questions for us?"
"I guess so," said Lily
"Are you a mudblood, was that man you were with your boyfriend, and do you have any magical friends. Have you heard of Hogwarts and do you think that Potter, Black and Lupin are the worst discrace to wizards everywhere?" Lucius said this so fast that if he said it any faster Lily would of had to ask him to repeat it.
"I don't know what a mudblood is, no that man was not my boyfriend, and I don't have magical friends yet. Hogwarts is a wizard school and I don't know who Potter,Black and Lupin are." replied Lily just as quickly.
"Thank you for answering our questions," said Lucius, "but, I bet you will want to know what a mudblood is, because you are one" Lily guessed that they were just being nice so they could talk to her.
"I'm a mudblood," said Lily, "I'm am no..whats a mudblood?"
"A mudblood, you mudblood is...." began Lucius.
"Malfoy!" called an angry voice. Lily turned around to see an angry boy with black hair and glasses,"Don't call anyone that ever again or i'll kick you so hard you'll be in bed talking nonsense words for a week!"
"Oh, i'm so scared," said Lucius, "I'm just telling the mudblood what she is"
"You asked for it!" said the boy pulling out his wand as two more boys ran up behind him," Petrificus Tortalus!"
Lucius went straight as a board and fell on his back. Severus quickly picked him and ran down the street. Suddenly Lily remebered that the nice lady at Madame Malkins warned her that some evil people might call her that. Lily felt like she was about to cry, even though she wasn't a mudblood. A mudblood was a foul name for someone who was born of muggle parents.
"Are you okay?" asked the boy who had stood up for her
"Ya," said Lily.
"Do you know what a ....a...is?" asked one of the other boys with sandy colored hair.
"Ya," replied Lily
"Are you a...muggleborn?" asked the other boy who hadn't talked yet with long black hair.
"Yes," said Lily. (it's so much easier than trying to explain the whole ordeal)
The boys introduced themselves as James Potter, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin. They talked until Lily had to go home. Lily told Matt about James, Sirius, and Remus.
