Chapter 20! Whoopee! Thanks everyone so much for reviewing. I can't believe I have 78 and counting! God, that just makes me smile. And every time I open my email and find a review I feel all fuzzy inside. SO, THANKS A LOT, REVIEWERS!
Jitters…
I am SO sorry this is short, I am running out of ideas… but they'll come to me…. I'm sorry! I wish I had time just to write ALL day…. But I promise something big will happen in the next chapter….
"What are we going to do on Christmas Eve?" Lils asked, unsurely.
"Well," Gwyn said, confidently, "I think the idea is that we, that is, you and me, are going to go up on a stage and be auctioned off to two blokes who will basically have the complete right to treat us like house-elves, or like 3 day girlfriends."
"So, we wish James and Sirius win us?"
"Pretty much."
This was after James had first explained the auction idea and Lily wasn't seeming to understand it. Little did he know, the confusion wasn't what they were going to do, but the disbelievement (WORD?) of it. After Lily got over the jitters of going up on stage, she started talking to herself. "Lils, you'll be ok. Just breathe in, and out. In. Out."
"Lily Elizabeth Evans, shut it. You'll be FINE. You are just going to get sold to James. Don't worry." Gwyn assured her. Somehow trying to reassure herself as well.
"How do you know?" Lils asked.
"I heard Sirius (little smile) and James talking about how to make sure they win."
"Ok. I hope it works unlike their PREVIOUS plans." Lils joked.
