Easter Break Begins

Friday morning was very hectic. Everyone was running around making sure that they didn't forget to pack anything. It was finally Easter weekend, which meant four beautiful days of no school.

"Are you almost ready?" Lily asked Emma, as she clasped her suitcase closed.

"All set," Emma said. She picked up her stuff and carried it over to Lily's bed. "Are you sure it's ok with your parents that I'm staying?"

"Of course it's ok," Lily replied. "And plus without Petunia living there anymore they will love having another kid around."

"I can't believe you guys are leaving me here all by myself," Katie said upon entering the dorm.

"Don't worry," Emma encouraged. "We'll be back before you know it."

"Yeah," Lily agreed pulling Katie into a hug. "Good luck on figuring out things with Sirius," Lily whispered in her ear.

Katie nodded her head and offered to walk Lily and Emma to the front door.

It was a beautiful day to start their break. The sun was shining brightly and not a cloud was in sight. Considering that it was only spring, it was fairly warm.

After parting ways with Katie at the door, Emma and Lily made their way down to the Hogsmeade train station, along with about a hundred other students. Once aboard, they quickly found a compartment, and within moments, the train was moving.

"Are we there yet?" Emma asked impatiently, thirty minutes later.

"About another hour," Lily answered after checking her watch.

Emma let out a sigh. "Wake me when we're there," she said placing her head on the window.

While Emma slept, Lily gazed out of the window; butterfly's slowly starting to make their way into her stomach. She only saw Dylan once so why she was getting so nervous she didn't know. Deep down Lily was actually more concerned about James. Yes she liked him, yes she enjoyed kissing him in the middle of a rainstorm, but not only does James seem to good to be true, she didn't know if she wanted to ruin a perfectly good friendship.

Skreeeeeeetch!

"Wake up," Lily said, shaking Emma.

"I took the cheetoes," Emma mumbled.

Lily laughed. What on earth was she dreaming about?

"Emma! Wake up!"

"Jeez Lily, no need to yell," Emma complained as she rubbed her ears.

As the two got off the train, they began scanning the vast crowd for Lily's parents. A few moments later they finally saw Mrs. Evans standing beside one of the ticket booths.

"Mum!" Lily exclaimed, as she ran over to her. Lily dropped her luggage and gave her mom a big hug.

"Nice to see you too," Mrs. Evans said.

Lily pulled away and introduced the two. "Mum, this is Emma; Emma this is my mum."

"Nice to meet you darling," Mrs. Evans said as they shook hands.

Emma gave her a small smile.

"Well," Mrs. Evans said, "are you girls hungry?"

"I'm starved," Lily answered as her stomach let out a small rumble. "And I know Emma is too."

"How did you know?" Emma asked.

"Because you were talking about cheetoes in your sleep," Lily answered laughing.

After eating lunch, they all headed back to Lily's house.

"Home sweet home," Lily said as she entered the front door.

Lily took Emma up to her room and they got all settled in.

"The bathroom is right across the hall and feel free to raid the fridge," Lily told her. Lily glanced at her watch. "Whoo…only an hour until Dylan is here."

"Nervous?" Emma asked.

"A little," Lily confessed.

"Do I get a chance to meet him?" Emma asked.

"Of course," Lily replied. "He's really great; you'll totally love him. I'm gonna start getting ready."

Emma nodded, taking a seat on her bed.

"You can look through my movies and if you find one you like..."

Lily didn't notice the confused look that she was getting from Emma until after she was done talking.

"Oh!" Lily exclaimed feeling stupid.

Emma was a pureblood, which would explain not knowing what in the world a television is. After Lily explained it to her, she left Emma to get ready.

Lily debated on what she should wear. Jeans were a bit too casual, but a dress would probably be too formal. She finally decided on a black skirt that came to her mid thigh and a burgundy tank top. Lily then brushed out her auburn hair and pulled half of it up. After adding a necklace and a couple bracelets, Lily looked beautiful.

Forty five minutes later Lily was all ready to go. Together Emma and Lily went downstairs to greet Dylan when he arrived. After waiting only ten minutes, the doorbell rang.

Lily took a deep breath and opened the door. There in front of her stood a very attractive guy that made Lily break into a smile.

"Hello," Lily greeted.

"Hey," Dylan replied, pulling out a single rose.

"Aww...thank you," Lily said.

She then invited Dylan inside and introduced him to Emma.

"You two behave," Lily said. "I'll just get my coat and then we'll get going."

"So how long have you known Lily?" Dylan asked taking a seat on the couch.

"About seven years," Emma answered.

"That's a long time," Dylan commented.

"Sure is," Emma answered coldly.

Something about Dylan made Emma feel highly uncomfortable. Upon first glance Dylan looked like a perfect gentleman, but after being in the room with him for only about two minutes made Emma feel as if he couldn't be trusted.

"So where are you taking her?" Emma asked.

"First we're going to this wonderful Italian restaurant and then there's someone I want her to meet," Dylan answered.

"Who?" Emma asked.

Who Dylan was referring to Emma never found out because just then Lily came back, the rose behind her ear and coat in hand.

"Ready to go?" she asked.

"All set," Dylan replied. "Nice meeting you," he added to Emma.

Emma gave him a weak smile.

When Lily and Dylan walked out of the front door, Emma had the sudden urge to stop her. Instead she just sat on the couch and hoped that she didn't just make a big mistake.
