Chapter Two

Surprise!

Disclaimer: The same as befor none of the character belong to be except for Camilla.

Lily Evans sat up in her bed and stretched her arms over her head, a yawn tore it's self from her throat and made her cough. Pushing back her comforters she stood up stretching once again she yawned before making her way towards the door of her bedroom. Pulling it open she padded quietly down the hall and into the bathroom switching on the light she ran her hands over her face in front of the mirror yawning once again. Lily looked at her reflection and let out a sigh, today she was turning seventeen, today she would be able to use magic out of Hogwarts. Today she would be starting her real adult life. Lily smiled. She was going to be seeing her two best friends today, Emmaline and Hestia were coming over for her birthday. Camilla was throwing a very posh party that she had insisted Lily needed. She supposed it was rather like sweet sixteen but sweet seventeen instead. She supposed turning seventeen was more important then turning sixteen in the wizarding world. That was probably of course because you gained all your rights as an adult when you turned seventeen in the Wizarding world.

Lily sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. Turning away from her reflection she went to the shower stall and opened the door, turning on the hot water she made it so she could stand it then stripped out of her p.j.'s after getting a towel and setting it down on the toilet. Stepping under the spray she yawned as she shut the door behind her. Washing quickly she shut off the water and stepped out making a small puddle on the floor picking up the towel she dried off and wrapped it around her upper body letting it fall down to cover the rest of her she picked up another towel and wrapped around her hair. She walked back down the hall and into her small bedroom. She had been shipped away to Camilla's house at the end of sixth year because of the rising threat of Voldemort, her parents were somewhere in an unknown location that even Dumbledore wouldn't tell her.

Lily walked to her dresser pulling open the top drawer she pulled out her underclothes putting them on shivering in the early morning air. She walked over to her draped window and pulled the window shut. Shivering she ran her hands over her bare arms. Walking back to her dresser she pulled out a pair of cut offs and a tank top pulling them both on she let her hair fall out of her towel letting her still wet hair fall around her shoulders. Walking out of her room and down the hall down the stairs and then into the kitchen she opened the icebox and pulled out a jug of juice and then a glass pouring herself some juice. She smiled as she heard pop she turned around and looked at Tipsy.

"What would you like this morning Miss Lily?" Tipsy asked politely after curtseying.

Lily bit her bottom lip, she knew she shouldn't eat anything really because Camilla was throwing a large lunch for her Birthday. Lily realized that she was Seventeen. SHE WAS SEVENTEEN! 'Oh my god I'm seventeen!' Lily thought biting her bottom lip when she realized that Tipsy was still waiting for her answer. "Oh just maybe a piece of toast or something like that Tipsy." Lily said quietly.

"Yes miss." Tipsy said disappearing with a loud crack.

Lily finished off her juice and set her glass down in the sink and turned around to see Camilla standing in the fire place. Lily exclaimed in delight. They were finally here, thank goodness she didn't have an idea about what to do with herself, she was wound so tight she just wanted to see her old friends, she had been isolated from everyone except for Camilla Perkins for the last three weeks. Lily watched as Camilla moved out of the fireplace then as Hestia and Emmaline appeared. Lily ran over and hugged her two best friends.

"Emma! Hestia! You have no idea how much I've missed you guys." Lily said as she heard the fire igniting once again.

Lily looked over the shoulder of her two best friends and her mouth fell open. 'What the hell is he doing here?' Lily thought as James Potter appeared. 'Oh gods he looks good.'
