~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Dear Diary,
It's me Lily again. Well you probable already knew that didn't ya? He He. Ok. I can't believe I've been away from my family for so long, it's almost Christmas! I really miss my mom, I write practically everyday to see how things are doing. She says they are fine, but I know different because of my dear sister Petunia. She wrote me, to my surprise, and told me my mom was going broke. She said it was my fault because I'm a witch and I'm sending them bad luck. She really is a blonde isn't she? (AN- NO OFFENCE TO BLONDES ANYWHERE!! I MEAN NO HARM!! I HAVE A FRIEND THAT"S A BLONDE SO DON"T TAKE OFFENSE BECAUSE I DON"T MEAN TO OFFEND YOU!! THANX!) Anyways she told me if we don't get enough money soon they would have to move to a different house. I hope this doesn't affect the custody agreement between my parents. I told my mom I knew and I she told me not to worry, but how can I not. I mean wouldn't you worry if your mom was going broke? I just miss her a lot along with my sister, but my mom the most. She was always the closes to me in the family and the only one that actually showed my kindness. But Sierra, Jenna, Allison, and Candy have really helped not to miss them so much. They're like a second family to me. A family of all girls, but we're all really close. However close we are though I still haven't told them about my father or why my parents got divorced in the first place. I mean how would they react, what would they do. What would they say, plus we all have are secrets that we haven't told the others. So why should I tell mine first. Sierra and Me are the closes out of the group, and then it would be Allison, Candy, and then Jenna. Jenna a cool person and all it's that she's really serious all the time. And she is way too worried about school and what other people think. Which brings me to another point of how Allison and Jenna have been acting toward each other. Allison seems to be really angry at her most of the time and vise versa. Well that is whenever Allison starts teasing her about school or we get in a subject about boys. They just make me really suspicious some times at what they're hiding, if they're hiding anything. But time will tell sooner or later. Now about school. It's great. I sooooo love Hogwarts, it has got to be my second favorite place in the whole world. I make average grades, if not better by a little. However there are the Marauders, which make my life here at Hogwarts well I dunno yet. The Marauders are the most popular guys in the schools; they play pranks on people for their own amusement. Your wondering whom exactly are the Marauders? I'll tell you the ringleader is none other then James Potter. I hate him, well not actually hate, but I don't like him very much. And as for the rest of the Marauders they consist of Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. Sirius Black is almost as bad as James, but he's ok. I'll talk to him some times and everything like that. We're really distant friends I guess you could call it. Remus Lupin he's one of my other close friends, he would fall a little past Jenna, but we don't like hanging out a lot like the girls and me do. Then there's Peter Pettigrew he's a follower. Anyone can see that. I think the only reason Peter actually hangs out with is because they felt sorry for him. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a kind of person that would judge someone before I know him or her, but that kid just creeps me out. Plus he was mean to me at the beginning of the year when I accidentally bumped into him. So he's kinda of mean to me whenever we talk, which is like never. Another one of my problems here is Snape and Malfoy. I'm not even going to start with them. They're horrible to Candy, Sierra, and me, especially me because I'm muggle born. I feel sorry for Candy who has to put up with them because they're in the same house and I bet she gets it known stop. Anyways Sierra, Candy, Allison, Jenna, and I are still trying to come up with a plan to get James Potter back. I swear if it's the last thing I do I'll get him back. Tomorrow's the beginning of Christmas break. Anyways I get to go home for Christmas, that's great; except for I'll have to see my father. My mom reluctantly agreed with spending Christmas together. Oh Joy. Sierra is also going home along with Candy. Allison and Jenna are staying at Hogwarts for Christmas break. Sierra said she would try and invite Candy and me over. I hope I can go. Well I should go, I still have to pack and help Sierra Pack. Bye'
~Lily~
As Lily closed her diary she looked around her dorm at the girls. Allison was lying on her bed reading a Quidditch magazine occasional glancing at around the room also. Jenna was on her bed with tons of schoolwork doing homework and extra credit with out looking up. Sierra was starting to pack her things for tomorrow. Then there was Candy who was always in their dorm until time for her to go to bed. Candy was sitting on Sierra's bed ready a muggle book that she had barrowed from Lily. And their other two dorm mates were out, but Lily could care less.
"Lily are you ever going to start packing?" Sierra asked looking at Lily with a raised eyebrow.
Lily sighed. "Yeah." She said and started to pack her things for Christmas break.
"Well you better start packing faster we have to leave early tomorrow morning." Sierra reminded her. "Candy have you already packed your things?" Sierra asked neatly folding her clothes and putting them in her trunk.
"Yeah. I can't wait to leave." Candy said tearing her eyes away from the muggle book and to Sierra. "Well I can't wait for Christmas actually. I don't really want to go home with my brothers, because I know they'll start something with dad." Candy told them.
"Don't worry I'm going to beg my mom to let you too come over my house after Christmas." Sierra said with her head under her bed.
"Sierra what are doing?" Allison asked from her bed looking at Sierra like she was insane.
"I can't find my other sock." She called out from under her bed. "Ahh!! I FOUND IT!" Sierra said crawling back out and throwing the sock in her trunk.
"Are you sure you two are going to stay? I mean Susan and Emily are saying and that could be bad." Lily asked.
"Yep. Besides even if Jenna and me wanted to go home we couldn't. Our parents left for a vacation in America about a week ago." Allison explained.
"Oh. Well girls it's getting pretty late we should probable get to sleep." Lily said finishing packing her things she would need for her trip home.
"You're done already?" Sierra asked still packing.
"Yes Sierra unlike you I'm not taking the whole dorm." Lily teased.
"Ah shut up." Sierra said as she finished packing.
"Well I'm going to head back to my form before it gets to late. See you tomorrow." Candy said leaving the dorm with goodbyes form all the other girls. When she was gone the other girls started to go to bed also.

(On the Hogwarts express)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Candy, Sierra, and Lily all shared a compartment close to the back of the train. The had only a hour more until they reached the train station. They were playing a game of exploding snape and eating all sorts of goodies. Lily however watched as Candy and Sierra played laughing whenever it blew up, however her mind was elsewhere.
"Knut (sp?) for your thoughts? Sierra asked.
Lily looked at her and shook her head. "I was just thinking about things." Lily said and sighed.
"What's wrong?" Candy asked.
"Nothing. I'm just tired is all." Lily said only half telling the truth.
"Ok. If your sure." Candy said. Sierra and Her both looked at Lily who nodded her head and smiled at them. They shrugged and continued to play their game.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(At the train station.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily stood and looked through the people to see if she could see her mom anywhere. Sierra had already left with her parents. Candy also stood beside of her looking for her parents along with her brothers. Both girls looked tense about something and both were, they also had a good reason to be.
"Do you see your parents anywhere?" Lily asked Candy still searching the people.
"No, you?" Candy asked.
"Nope. Wonder where she could be." Lily said.
"Who?" Candy asked glancing at her.
"My mom she was supposed to pick me up." Lily said.
"Oh. They probable just got stuck in traffic or something." Candy said about the time they heard two voices.
"Lily/Candy!" Two voices screeched.
"Mom." Both girls said smiling and walking toward their mothers who were parked side by side.
"Mom this is Candy Morgan. She's one of best friends from school." Lily said introducing Candy to her mother and vise versa.
"And mom this is Lily Evans from school." Candy said introducing Lilt to her mom.
"Hello dear." Both mothers said.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Lily." Mrs. Morgan said to Lily.
"It's also a pleasure to meet you Candy." Mrs. Stover said. "I don't mean to be rushing, but I have to pick your sister up at a friends house. Some come along. And it was nice to meet you both." Mrs. Stover called out.
"Same here." Mrs. Morgan called out.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(The carried to Sierra's house.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Mom, dad can Lily and Candy come and stay at our house after Christmas until we go back to Hogwarts. I mean we have plenty of room because the sibs, stayed at school." Sierra asked looking at her family hopefully.
"I don't see why not. As long as they ask their parents first." Her dad said.
"Thanks daddy." Sierra squealed.
"Your welcome sweetie." He said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(At Lily's house in her room.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily lay on her bed in peace. She had missed her own bed and room a lot and was just enjoying being there, but her peace was soon interrupted. Petunia walked in her room and closed the door looking at Lily with hatred. Lily opened one eye and then sat up looking at her sister with a smile.
"Petunia, I missed you a lot while I was gone." Lily said.
"Too bad you couldn't stay gone. No one wants you here you know. So just go back to your freak school and stay there. It's bad enough after Christmas we have to move!" Petunia spat at the eleven-year old harshly.
"What?" Lily asked her heart dropping down to her toes.
"You heard me! This is all your fault you FREAK!" Petunia said before leaving Lily's room.
Lily got up from her bed heartbroken and walked down the steps to go and find her mother. She entered the kitchen and was greeted by a warm smile from her mother. "Hello dear." Ms. Stover said.
"Mom how come you didn't tell me after Christmas we were moving?" Lily asked going straight to the point.
"Petunia told you I see?" Ms. Stover said and sat down in a chair. "Don't' worry about it Lily. Ever thing will work out in the end you will see." Ms. Stover said. Lily only nodded her head sadly and walked away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(In Candy's room.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Candy was in her room reading the book Lily had let her borrow when an owl tapped on her window. Cady looked over to the window and realized it was Sierra's owl; she quickly opened the window and let the owl fly in. When the owl had sopped flying, Candy hastily grabbed the letter and opened it.
'Candy,
Hey. I was just writing to let you know that you can come over after Christmas. Send your reply back asp with my owl! Well bye
*Sierra*'
Candy smiled and quickly wrote back her reply, because she had asked her mother as soon as they had left the train station.
'Sierra,
Hey, yeah I can come. I'm looking forward to seeing you after Christmas. Bye! Candy!
She quickly tied the letter to the owl and watch it fly away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily lay on her bed trying to sleep when she heard a tapping sound at her window. She quickly went to her window and opened it to see Sierra's owl. Lily took the letter off and gave the owl something to eat and drink beside of her owl.
'Lily, hey can you come for Christmas, Candy is? Owl me back by my owl! BYE Sierra.
Lily smiled and closed the letter and got back in bed. She would ask her mother tomorrow and pray she said yes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(The next morning.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily walked in her kitchen wearing a pair of jeans and a dark green sweater. She smiled at her mother and sat down to eat her waffles with milk.
"Mom?" Lily asked
"Yes Lily?" Her mother asked.
"Sierra, she's my all time best friend wants me to spend the rest of vacation with her after Christmas. Can I go? Candy is going to go also." Lily explained looking at her mom with her big green eyes.
"After Christmas?" Her mother asked, Lily nodded. "I'll have to discuss with Mr. Evans you know your.. Father." She said the last part weirdly.
Lily sighed sadly, "ok."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(Christmas Eva night)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Lily." Ms. Stover called walking into Lily's room before Lily went to sleep. Lily looked at her and she continued. "I've talked to your father and your allowed to go to Sierra's after Christmas." She said and smiled as she seen Lily smile a huge smile. Lily ran to her mom and hugged her.
"Thank you mom! I have to write Sierra and tell her." Lily said and did just that.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(Christmas Day!)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily sat on her couch with Petunia and her mother waiting for her father to get there so they could open the presents. Lily sighed and looked Longley at the presents under the tree. Suddenly the doorbell rang and Ms. Stover answered it with a frown on her face.
"Maggie." Said the voice of Sam Evans.
"Sam." Maggie said and let him in taking her seat beside of Lily once again.
"Lily, Petunia!" Their father said looking at his daughters.
"Dad." Petunia said.
"Dad." Lily said. "Mom can we open the presents now?" She asked her mother who smiled at her.
"Of course." She said and they all started to open presents.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(The end of Christmas vacation, five minutes before getting to Hogwarts)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily, Sierra, and Candy were all engaged in a conversation on the Hogwarts express about their Christmas vacation. They had had a blast at Sierra's house. They had swum in her indoor heated pool and played many games from muggle to wizard. They had played in the snow, because one Lily got there it started to snow. It had been a good vacation for all three girls, and they could only hope Jenna and Allison hadn't killed each other by now.
When they arrived at Hogwarts they quickly rushed into the building and out of the cold. They were surprised to see that neither Allison nor Jenna was waiting for them. They looked at each other and walked off to go to the Gryffindor common room. When they walked through the Gryffindor common room they saw both Allison and Jenna on the couch talking without FIGHTING!!!
"Oh My God! You guys aren't fighting! It's a miracle." Sierra said dramatically.
Allison and Jenna both jumped at the sound of her voice and looked round at them and smiled. "Hey guys. Have a good Christmas?" Jenna asked in a happier and more carefree tone then before.
"Yep." Cady said going around and sitting down on the couch beside of Jenna with lily beside of Allison and Sierra in a chair.
"Tell us about it." Allison said looking excited. The three girls started to tell the other two about their vacation with their mouth and hands. Allison laughed at how they were talking while Jenna was just smiling. At the end the three girls were breathless.
"So what did yawl two do while we were away?" Lily asked.
The two girls exchanged glances and Allison spoke. "Nothing really. We made fun of Emily and Susan, Opened presents and ate. And Jenna here read some and did extra credit." Allison explained. "And we fooled around in the snow." Allison added.
"Lily your back." Remus said from the boys staircase.
"Yep. Did you have a good Christmas?" She asked.
"Yeah. Did you?" He asked.
"Yeah. It was great. I liked your present by the way." She said.
"I liked yours too." He said about the time Sirius and James came down. They looked at the girls and smirked.
"Hello ladies." Sirius said.
"Black, what do you want?" Sierra snapped.
"I want nothing, just come to say a friendly hello." He said and grinned.
"Well you said it now go away." Sierra said.
"It's our common room too." James said.
"Yes but we were here first and do not want to bothered by parts like you." Lily snapped at James.
James glared at her. "And I don't want to be bothered by a carrot head like you." James said.
Lily's eyes opened wide. "F#ck off Potter." Allison said.
"With pleasure." James said and Allison rolled her eyes at the retreating backs.
"I hate him." Lily said.
"Me too." Sierra said.

Lily lay on her bed trying to sleep when she heard a tapping sound at her window. She quickly went to her window and opened it to see Sierra's owl. Lily took the letter off and gave the owl something to eat and drink beside of her owl.
'Lily, hey can you come for Christmas, Candy is? Owl me back by my owl! BYE Sierra.
Lily smiled and closed the letter and got back in bed. She would ask her mother tomorrow and pray she said yes.

(The next morning.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily walked in her kitchen wearing a pair of jeans and a dark green sweater. She smiled at her mother and sat down to eat her waffles with milk.
"Mom?" Lily asked
"Yes Lily?" Her mother asked.
"Sierra, she's my all time best friend wants me to spend the rest of vacation with her after Christmas. Can I go? Candy is going to go also." Lily explained looking at her mom with her big green eyes.
"After Christmas?" Her mother asked, Lily nodded. "I'll have to discuss with Mr. Evans you know your.. Father." She said the last part weirdly.
Lily sighed sadly, "ok."

(Christmas Eva night)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Lily." Ms. Stover called walking into Lily's room before Lily went to sleep. Lily looked at her and she continued. "I've talked to your father and your allowed to go to Sierra's after Christmas." She said and smiled as she seen Lily smile a huge smile. Lily ran to her mom and hugged her.
"Thank you mom! I have to write Sierra and tell her." Lily said and did just that.

(Christmas Day!)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily sat on her couch with Petunia and her mother waiting for her father to get there so they could open the presents. Lily sighed and looked Longley at the presents under the tree. Suddenly the doorbell rang and Ms. Stover answered it with a frown on her face.
"Maggie." Said the voice of Sam Evans.
"Sam." Maggie said and let him in taking her seat beside of Lily once again.
"Lily, Petunia!" Their father said looking at his daughters.
"Dad." Petunia said.
"Dad." Lily said. "Mom can we open the presents now?" She asked her mother who smiled at her.
"Of course." She said and they all started to open presents.

(The end of Christmas vacation, five minutes before getting to Hogwarts)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily, Sierra, and Candy were all engaged in a conversation on the Hogwarts express about their Christmas vacation. They had had a blast at Sierra's house. They had swum in her indoor heated pool and played many games from muggle to wizard. They had played in the snow, because one Lily got there it started to snow. It had been a good vacation for all three girls, and they could only hope Jenna and Allison hadn't killed each other by now.
When they arrived at Hogwarts they quickly rushed into the building and out of the cold. They were surprised to see that neither Allison nor Jenna was waiting for them. They looked at each other and walked off to go to the Gryffindor common room. When they walked through the Gryffindor common room they saw both Allison and Jenna on the couch talking without FIGHTING!!!
"Oh My God! You guys aren't fighting! It's a miracle." Sierra said dramatically.
Allison and Jenna both jumped at the sound of her voice and looked round at them and smiled. "Hey guys. Have a good Christmas?" Jenna asked in a happier and more carefree tone then before.
"Yep." Cady said going around and sitting down on the couch beside of Jenna with lily beside of Allison and Sierra in a chair.
"Tell us about it." Allison said looking excited. The three girls started to tell the other two about their vacation with their mouth and hands. Allison laughed at how they were talking while Jenna was just smiling. At the end the three girls were breathless.
"So what did yawl two do while we were away?" Lily asked.
The two girls exchanged glances and Allison spoke. "Nothing really. We made fun of Emily and Susan, Opened presents and ate. And Jenna here read some and did extra credit." Allison explained. "And we fooled around in the snow." Allison added.
"Lily your back." Remus said from the boys staircase.
"Yep. Did you have a good Christmas?" She asked.
"Yeah. Did you?" He asked.
"Yeah. It was great. I liked your present by the way." She said.
"I liked yours too." He said about the time Sirius and James came down. They looked at the girls and smirked.
"Hello ladies." Sirius said.
"Black, what do you want?" Sierra snapped.
"I want nothing, just come to say a friendly hello." He said and grinned.
"Well you said it now go away." Sierra said.
"It's our common room too." James said.
"Yes but we were here first and do not want to bothered by parts like you." Lily snapped at James.
James glared at her. "And I don't want to be bothered by a carrot head like you." James said.
Lily's eyes opened wide. "F#ck off Potter." Allison said.
"With pleasure." James said and Allison rolled her eyes at the retreating backs.
"I hate him." Lily said.
"Me too." Sierra said.
