BAN:sorry its been a while I'm working on it though. Its been tough at me at home right now.. I'll try to update sooner! Review please!
The next night while the rest of her family was eating dinner Lily walked out of the kitchen hesitantly. She had to ask her father tonight, this was the only night he didn't drink. It was Sunday night and he had to be sober for work the next morning.
"Um… father?" Lily was never sure what to call him. She rarely talked to him and when she did she was begging him to stop hitting her.
"What?" Snapped Franky irritably. Glaring at her hatefully. Lily shifted her weight from foot to foot.
Taking a deep breath she began. "I know you want me out of the house, and I was just accepted to this School, it's a boarding school… it's not that much money. I wouldn't need that much for my books either… I can get them all second hand-"
She was cut off from a quick slap to the face from her oh so caring mother. "Shut up you good for nothing wench. Your upsetting our dinner. Your father and I will talk to you after dinner, never interupt us again." Allison yelled at her youngest daughter. "Do I make myself clear?" Lily nodded her head.
"Yes mam." Allison again slapped her daughter in the face.
"I said I didn't want any interruptions!" With that she walked back to her spot at the table and sat down, while Lily placed the letter next to her father she took her exit.
Latter that night Lily found herself in her room as her parents once again had an argument about her. "Franky! It's perfect pay for her schooling and she'll be out of our hair for a year and won't be back untill the summer! It's perfect!" Then her father replied "I guess." Lily's heart started racing as her father walked up the stairs, she tried her best to fake sleep. She couldn't help but jump though, when he threw the door open.
"You can go." Was all Franky said before leaving the room. Lily sighed in relief, this was wonderful! She was going to be a witch!
Lily had gotten off easy the night before, and because of that she was left with a long list of chores with a promised punishment if she didn't finish them by the time the rest of the family got home. Franky was off job searching, her mother was going out with the other girls, and Petunia wasn't coming home till late from her date with Vernon Dursley.
Lily sighed as she looked at the list while tying her hair up in a tight pony tail, completely forgetting about calling Raven and Kita about being able to go to Hogwarts.
"Oi! Lily!" Raven yelled hoping into the back yard of number four private drive. "Lily!" The red head poked her head out the window and looked down at her friend.
"What?" She asked disappearing from the window and re-appearing at the back door to let Raven in. "Take off your shoes, I don't want to scrub the floor again. Lilly had turned away before she could see the sympathetic look Raven had on her face.
Shrugging out of her shoes Raven followed through the nearly immaculately clean house. "What did your pops say bout going to Hogwarts."
"To where?" Lilly asked, then remembered. "Oh he said yes. I'll steal some money from him tonight and put it in the wall. Lily and Kita had set up a mail box so to speak. They had carved out a brick in the wall and could store stuff in there. So far Lilly had hidden at least 200 pounds that she had been stealing from her family for the last 2 years.
Looking at the ground Lilly shuffled her feet. "Um.. could I stay with you guys? Untill school starts… my dad hasn't found a job by today.. I'm scared what he'll do…" She explained quietly hoping that Raven would say yes.
"Course you can mate." Raven laughed and looked at the coffee table that held the list that Lilly had to do that day. 6 of the 8 things on the list were crossed off. "Want some help with the rest of this?"
