Chapter 2: Time To Go Back

Lily groaned as she tried to turn off the alarm clock that was ringing very loudly in her ear, it wouldn't stop so she grabbed it and threw it across the room where it smashed into pieces.

After that, she then relaxed on her bed looking up at the ceiling when the alarm clock started beeping once again.

She let out an angry growl and grabbed the Beaters bat which she had took off Sirius Black in her 4th year for trying to lock her and James Potter in a broom cupboard together.

She swung the bat above her head and started beating the clock furiously until all was silent.

She flung herself on her bed and thought about the dream she'd just had. James was very different now than he was in 1st year.

Very different! He was nice in 1st year, now he's an annoying toad!

James bothered Lily every single day either asking her out or pulling practical jokes on her with his fellow 'Marauders'.

Today, Lily was going back to school and would have to see James and his 'Marauders'. Lily got up out of bed and started to get ready for school.

She went over and fed her owl, Peggy, and started checking her trunk that she'd got everything.

"Robes, check." She said quietly to herself, " Wand,..."

"Talking to yourself again?" said a mean voice," Such a freak!"

Lily turned around to Petunia and turned straight back checking her things.

"Only a couple of hours still you're back at that school, are they all freaks there?" Petunia asked with a nasty smirk on her face.

"No!"

"What a silly question! Of course they are!" Petunia smiled and walked back downstairs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lily walked downstairs to find her mum and a very broad fat man, who reminded Lily of a pig, sitting at the breakfast table filling up on bacon and eggs.

" Hello Mum," Lily said with a smile, "Vernon."

Vernon Dursley looked up said hello and quickly returned to eating his big breakfast.

Vernon was Petunia's boyfriend of two months and he quickly felt like he was at home.

After Lily's dad died, Lily's mum enjoyed all the company she could. Even if it was Vernon Dursley!

Lily grabbed a piece of toast and ate it then went back upstairs to get ready. Lily was even more beautiful than in the 1st year.

Her long dark red hair was now shorter and layered and was now 5ft 7.

There was 1 thing Lily was looking forward to, seeing all her friends again.

Being a muggle-born and being surrounded by muggles it was hard to use Owl Post as it was a bit strange to muggle eyes seeing a snowy owl flying in a busy neighbourhood in Surrey!

"You ready honey?" Lily's mum shouted up the stairs.

"Coming Mum!" she said, quickly grabbing Peggy and sliding her heavy trunk down the stairs.

Lily put the trunk in the back of the car and Lily and her mum drove to Kings Cross station for the last time for Lily's 7th and final year.
