Chapter 2
Leaving home for the manor.
A/N: the song is Three days grace, I hate everything about you.
Lily
Lily spent her afternoon reading in her room waiting for her friend's advice. I wonder what's taking her so long… Lily thought to herself. Just then she heard a faint "pop" and not only Anna but Leah appeared in her room.
"To decipher this letter I had to call in reinforcements." Anna stated.
"Great, I was planning to owl her with the situation AFTER you answered me but whatever." Lily told them.
"Well to me it seems that, you have fallen for Mr. James Potter. Which is pretty crazy to me. Since you have hated him since first year when he made your ears enlarge to the size of your head." Leah said.
Anna chuckled at the memory. Lily gave her a death stare. "You have to admit that was pretty funny."
"No I don't." Lily said with some anger in her voice. "How could this happen? I mean I hate EVERYTHING about him, why do I love him. Woah those are song lyrics." Both witch friends stared at lily for they never had heard of the Muggle rock song. "Here I will play the song for you." She went to her CD player and played the song (A/N: I know this is a newer song but it was TO perfect.) Anna and Leah thought that the lyrics were perfect.
Only when I stop to think about it
I
hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything
about you
Why do I love you
Every time we lie awake
After
every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't
missed you yet
Only when I stop to think about it
I
hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything
about you
Why do I love you
Only when I stop to think
About
you, I know
Only when you stop to think
About me, do you know
"That's a great song! Muggles have music like this?" Leah said,
enjoying the rock beat.
"Yeah they do." Lily told her. "So what is this thing I have with Ja-Potter?"
"It's called a Love/Hate relationship, my dear." Stated Anna like it was so simple.
"So I love him yet hate him at the same time. That does sound about right to me." Lily said.
"YOU LOVE HIM? That's a whole different deal." Leah said.
"NO, I mean I LIKE him. I don't love him, I didn't say that I did, did I?" lily said frantically.
"Yes, you said love. I know it can't be love, not yet. So don't worry about it. Has he owled you at all this summer? I know he did last year." Anna replied.
"Actually he hasn't. It has amazed me and this summer I actually want him to, and he doesn't. how ironic is that?"
"Well if he won't, you will have to. Owl him, ask him how his summer is going." Leah told her.
"He will suspect something. Hey, girls can I come spend the summer at one of you guy's place? Petunia is being a royal pain in the arse this summer. She's get married to a whale of a man." Lily asked her friends.
"Why don't you both stay at my parent's manor? We never stay there because it's to close to Potter's but seeing that now that isn't a problem we should." Leah said to her friends.
"That sounds wonderful. Exactly how close are the 2 manors?" lily asked.
"We share a qudditch pitch. So we are back to back." Leah told them.
"Let me go ask if I can." Anna said and with a pop she was gone.
"I am going to tell mum that I am leaving for the rest of the summer. Petunia will be jumping for joy, to learn I'm out of her hair." Lily then ran downstairs and told her mother.
"Let's go, shall we?" Anna said when the three girls were ready to leave.
James
The three boys headed out to the Quidditch pitch on the south side of the Potter estate. "Ok usual 3 person positions." James called.
"Isn't it always? Remus and I are always chasers and you're our keeper." Sirius hollered.
"Well I would play chaser but you guys don't let me."
"It's only because you are the best chaser Gryffindor has seen in years." Remus said as James grinned proudly. The boys mounted their brooms and soared into the air.
Remus and Sirius were so-so chasers. They did a lot better when James was busy thinking about Lily in the goalposts, like he was today. After about a three hours it got dark and the boys traveled inside. Maggie rushed to them.
"Why weren't you boys wearing light cloaks? Its chilly out there, come inside and let me get the house elves to make you some dinner, since you missed it." Immediately 3 house elves appeared out of the kitchen.
"What can we get the mistress?" One, named Klink asked.
"What do you boys want?" Maggie asked the hungry teens.
"WHATEVER YOU GOT, mum Potter!" Sirius yelled.
"Ok then, Get them some of that soup we had at dinner, 3 ribeye steaks with potatoes, and 3 slices of pumpkin pie." Maggie commanded and the house elves ran off into the kitchen.
"I want you all to eat all the food on your plates, especially you Remus. I think you are getting to thin." Maggie was like a mother to all of the boys.
"Not a problem!" Sirius announced and everyone laughed. Sirius could really eat a lot of food.
"MAKE THAT 2 RIB-EYE'S FOR MR. BLACK!" Maggie yelled towards the kitchen.
"Now that's more like it." Sirius chuckled.
"I would tell you to eat less Sirius, dear, but you seem to manage your weight just fine." Ms. Potter told the clan. The food arrived and as usual Sirius scarped down his food in barely 5 minutes. James also ate hungrily but not nearly as fast as his friend.
"Sirius, mate, do you actually ever taste the food Mrs. Potter has made for you?" Remus asked his friend.
"Yes, it's quite delicious." Sirius said his mouth full of food. The three friends laughed and finished their meal.
"How about some Wizard's Chess tonight, Padfoot?" James asked.
"That sounds wonderful. Winner plays Mr. Moony since he's the best at it." Sirius replied. The boys played the game for the course of the evening, chatting the entire night. Then they finally headed up to the third floor to the rooms with their names on the doors.
"Since when do we have names on our doors?" Remus asked.
"Since my mum learned some new decorating spells. That stupid Harold Lockhart, guys shouldn't be decorating, what's next a guy who specializes in GARDENING? (A/n: he he reference to Gildery Lockhart for all those who couldn't figure it out.)
