Lily jogged to her car. When she finally got home she found the house empty. It was deathly silent, she could hear all the clocks from all 5 floors ticking in union. She heard the dial tone of the 3rd floor phone.
"MUM!" Lily cried. She rushed down the long hall way and up the wide staircase. She ran into her mother's room. She found her mother sprawled out on the white carpet. Her hair was in a mess and her clothes disarranged. "oh my god, oh my god… MUM!" Lily began screaming. She stumbled over to the phone where it was hanging from it's stand. She dialed 911…
"Hello what's your emergency?" A woman on the line asked.
"My mum, she passed out. I don't know…" Lily broke down and began hysterically crying.
"All right honey what's your address?" The woman said.
"22… Walvery…… avenue…..." She cried between gasps.
"An ambulance will be right there. Would you like me to stay on the line?" the lady asked nicely.
"No.. I think I can handle it." Lily said out of breath.
Lily collapsed by her mother. "Mum, I'm sorry can you hear me." Lily heard the sirens from far away. She raced down the 2 flights of steps and ran out the door, the ambulance pulled into the driveway and ran up to Lily.
"where's your mother?" A man asked.
"3rd floor bedroom." Lily turned and ran up the stairs. "follow me!"
Lily stood back and let the EMT's go to work. The 3 mins that felt like hours, Elizabeth was lifted off the ground onto a stretcher and put into an ambulance.
"Follow us."
Lily nodded and looked down at her hand she still had her car keys clenched in her hand, biting at her skin. She threw herself into her Porsche questioning what had happened. When she finaly arrived at the hospital a doctor in a white overcoat greeted her.
"Your mother has had a heart attack caused by some sort of stress or shock." He frowned down on Lily, she felt so small, so breakable, so useless. "would you know anything that may have caused this?"
Lily at this point had tears in her eyes as she nodded and shrugged at the same time. "Well, my father… We havent seen or heard from him in a while and the phone was off the hook when I found her. But she may have knocked it out of place through her fall." The doctor nodded and turned kind eyes down upon her.
"Don't worry she's in perfectly stable condition. It was minor, she'll be up and at 'em in no time." He walked away disappearing into Elizabeth's room.
Lily sat down on a chair outside the room, until she heard shuffling heels and shouts of "YOU CAN'T GO BACK THERE WITHOUT BEING FAMILY!"
Lana turned a corner as she shouted, "HELLO! BEST FRIEND HERE… CLOSE SISTERHOOD!"
"Oh Lily there you are how are you?" Lana spouted. "I came as soon as I heard!"
"I'm fine, but how did you hear?" Lily asked dazed.
"Oh you know daddy. He can't help but inspect everyone's lives every second, but thank god he did! And that nurse… What a bitch I tell you." You see Lana's father, Herman Adams was Minister of Magic and he loved to know everything.
"Oh well… the doctor said she was in stable condition. She'll probably stay here for a few weeks though." Lily sighed. "We leave for Hogwarts the day after tomorrow. I don't know what I'm going to do…"
"Okay here's the deal. Your mom is stable she just needs time to rest. I drove my car. You leave your car, leave a note saying where its parked and leave her the keys, you come home with me… we'll get your stuff on the way and then you spend two days with Lana Rain!" Lana exclaimed with a little joy.
Lily gave a small smile and nodded. "that's what I'll do."
Lily wrote a short note for her mother and left her keys and set off with Lana. They hurried over to Lana's Hot pink convertible corvette, Her Barbie car as she loved to call it.
"Gosh, I hate parking garages!" Lana exclaimed as they shoved themselves into her car. "I always think some evil man is going to kidnap me. Why'd you have to go and send her to a muggle hospital?"
"Because my mother is a muggle! And I also hate parking garages."
The ride to lily's house was spent in silence, Lily's head pressed against the window. Then out of no where Lily exclaimed, "This car so clashes with my hair!" Lana looked over stunned. She gave a chuckle.
"so stop pressing your face against it." Lana replied as she steered up Lily's driveway.
They climbed out of the car and ran up to the fifth floor, where Lily's room resided. They started packing Lily's things into her multiple trunks. With her closet empty with the exception of all the gowns, they cast a spell that shrank 3 trunks and threw them into the 4th. Lily grabbed her brush, hair products, accessories, and make up and shoved them all into the 5th trunk. They shrunk that too and through it into the fourth.
"Am I missing anything?" Lily asked herself.
"For some reason I doubt it. Anyway lets go daddy's at work and mum is at a club. So lets roll!" Lana exclaimed laughing. They linked arms and walked out the wide door. And ran down 4 flights of steps, lily's trunk levitating traveling behind them.
The next two nights were full of laughs and gossip. But soon Sep. 1st was there and it was time to go.
"Lily!"
"WHAT!" Lily shouted at Lana. "I'm right here."
"What are we going to wear?" Lana looked through the piles of clothes laying in her trunks.
"Clothes…"Lily yawned as she stretched.
"How could you say that? First impressions need to be best impressions." Land screeched looking hysterical as she laughed.
So they set of to work. Finally, they came to decisions. Lily wore her hair same as the day before. She wore a pale pink shirt with black lace and a black lace skirt close to the one of the day before with her 3 in black wrap around heels. Lana wore her hair in a sloppy bun thrown up high and cute. She wore a bright pink shirt with black stars coming up, and a black skirt that had pink x's lining the bottom. Her shoes were also pink hookerish heels. They shrunk they're trunks
When they finally arrived to 93/4 they had 5 mins to find a compartment. They searched up and down the train, they're other friends were all shoved into one compartment without any room. Lily and Lana shrugged and made they're way down the aisle still on the quest of finding seats. They finally come to the last compartment at the back of the entire train.
"this is it." Lana sighed. Lily threw the door open with a laugh. Three boys sat talking, they looked up at the girls with raised eyebrows.
"Uhm. May we sit here, uhm with you?" Lily asked looking everywhere but the boys. She didn't know their names, only far off faces and amusing pranks.
"Uhm yeah I uhm think you uhm like uhm can." A boy with shaggy black hair and dancing blue eyes answered/mocked.
Lily glared at him and sat down on the far edge Lana alongside her.
"So Evans, Adams, d'ya know any of our names?" The same boy asked. Another boy looked up at Lily. He had messy jet black hair and chocolate eyes that looked downcast.
"No we do not so how about some introductions!" Lana claimed clapping her hands. The shaggy boy let out a laugh.
"I'm Sirius Black." He pointed at himself.
A boy with sandy blonde hair looked up. "Remus Lupon." He said softly.
Finally the boy with the black messy hair said "James Potter."
"Well, I'm Lil-" James inturrupted.
"Don't waste your breath we already know your names."
"Well I'm very sorry. I wont waste your precious 2 seconds of doing nothing." Lily shot back.
Everyone looked James. He shrugged and put his head to the window…
Out of no where all the lights went down and the strait came to a complete stop.
"What's happening." Lana whispered.
"Death Eaters." James whispered in shock. "On the express. How… this is impossible…"
They heard a boom like a cannon going off and screams. Lily looked around at all of the stunned faces. Her pale face going a new shade of white, as everyone else's. They grabbed their wands and Sirius locked the door. Footsteps were running down the train.
"We're the last compartment, so we'll be last wont we?" Lily asked whispering.
"Shut up." James whispered.
The door began to rattle and finally the door bust open.
