~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*
Lily sat in her new room in her new house that her mom had rented after Christmas. It was a small, very small little house with green shutters, with only one floor. It had a small kitchen and living room and three bedrooms and one bathroom. Lily didn't mind about where they lived; however, Petunia did. She was constantly complaining about the house and how 'daddy' had a better house. Lily knew it hurt her mother, so she would always try to make her feel better.
Lily had just gotten home from her dad's and again he and abused her verbally and physically. The first time was because she accidentally dropped her fork on the floor. The other times were just for the heck of it was Lily's only guess. She also had gotten to stay over at Sierra's house for a little while, because she found out that she wasn't too far away form neither her mom or dad's house. Of course, she was closer to her Dad's, but Lily didn't mind. However, she hadn't seen Allison, Candy, or Jenna the whole summer. She had heard from Candy, but Allison and Jenna hadn't written her or anyone that Lily knew of. Lily was very curious as to what those two were up to. Remus had also written to her and she being the nice person she was wrote back, also because they friends.
"Lily dear come here!" She heard her mother shout.
"Ok MOM, COMING!" She yelled back and hoped out of her room. She had on a pair of blue jean shorts and a blue tank top with blue flip-flops. Her hair was up in two low loose pigtail in the back of her head. When she entered her small living room, she saw her mom sitting quietly on the couch and to her surprise her father sitting on a chair and Petunia in another chair. Lily looked around confused at her 'family' that was gathered in the living room.
"Mom, why is Dad here? What's the matter?" She asked.
"Lily sweetheart come here." Ms. Stover said patting the cushion beside of her. Lily obediently walked over and sat down. She looked at Petunia who was smirking, at her father who looked rather pleased, and then at her mother who looked about ready to cry. "Lily I have something to tell you." Her mother said.
"Ok." Lily said. "What is it?" She asked again.
"Lily dear, we are moving again, because Mr. Cod has raised the rent and as you know we can't afford it." She said looking ashamed.
"Ok mom. No biggie. But what's that got to do with Dad?" She asked and didn't notice him look a little annoyed.
"Lily your father has been kind enough to let us use his home until I can get back on my feet. And I have excepted." Her mother said. Lily paled and opened her mouth to protest.
"What? NO! Mom can't you move somewhere else? Go to grandma's, she'll help us!" Lily screamed, she couldn't imagine living with her father 24/7.
"It's only for a little while Lily. Besides your grandma won't take us in." She added quietly.
"This sucks! I don't want to move to his house! I hate it there! It's f#cked up over there!" Lily screamed standing up from the couch.
Her family looked at her in shock. Had their sweet innocent never-to- do-any-wrong Lily just cursed, and at them no less. She stood there angry and shocked that her mother would do this. She looked at Petunia whose mouth was wide open, then at her mother who seemed utterly shocked, and then at her father who just looked plan angry.
"Lily I'm sorry, there's no other way." Her mother said sincerely.
"Well what about if I write to Sierra and ask if I can stay at her house for the rest of the summer?" Lily asked pleading her mom through eyes.
Her mom smiled warmly and was about to say something when her father spoke up sounding angry. "Absolutely not. After what you just pulled, do you honestly think your mother and I would let you go?" He asked.
"I wouldn't know, would you?" Lily spat back angrily.
"What has gotten in to you Lily?" Ms. Stover asked.
"ME?! Mom! Your practically sending me to h#ll it self!" Lily yelled.
"I'll tell you what has gotten into her! It's that freak school she goes to! I told you not to send." Mr. Evans yelled and Petunia only smirked and nodded.
"I don't go to a freak school!" Lily screamed.
"Of course you don't Lily. You go to a great school." Ms. Stover said and smiled at her daughter.
"Typical. You are always letting her get away with everything Maggie." Mr. Evans said angrily.
"You do the same thing with Petunia Sam. And I do not let Lily get away with everything." Ms. Stover said.
"Whatever. Get packed I want to get you moved in as soon as possible." Sam said.
Ms. Stover sighed. "Girls go get packed, while I pack up the other things. Sam you can help." Ms. Stover said sadly. Sam smirked and walked away with Maggie to the kitchen.
"Way to go freak. Mom and dad were getting along until you come along." Petunia said and walked away leaving Lily thunder struck. A single tear slept out of Lily's eyes before she turned and begin to pack.

(At Sam Evan's house.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*
Lily stood outside of her father's house with her suitcase looking at the house with dread. She sighed and looked behind her at her mother and father who were carrying her mother's thing into the house to her room. Lily sighed and made her way in to the to familiar house and to her awful room. When she was there, she flopped down on her pink bed and sighed. After a while of just laying on her bed doing nothing she finally decided, she would write to her best friend and tell her about her life.
'Sierra,
Hey, This is Lily, as you already know. I just thought I'd write you and tell you how my life is doing right now. Not so good. My mom had to move us again, because our rent got to high. Anyway, so now we're living with my father, because he took us in. I just blew up in their faces and everything like that. Anyways I hate it here, I don't see why mom didn't just go and live with grandma, or Aunt Rosie. Oh well I can't wait to hear from you and see you again. I can't wait for school to start up. Well I had better go and get ready for bed.
~Lily~
After wards she quickly tied it too her owl and sent him on it's way to Sierra's. After the owl disappeared, she sighed and turned back around to get ready for sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*
(The next morning.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*
The next morning Lily awoke to the sound of tapping at her window. Lily groggily opened her eyes and peered over at the window to see an owl at her window. She opened her eyes wider and realized it was Sierra's owl. Lily quickly swung her legs off the bed, walked over to her window, and opened it. The owl swooped in and dropped the letter on Lily's bed before leaving Lily's room.
Lily shrugged at the owl's behavior, walked over to her bed, and flopped down. She quickly picked up her letter and started to open it.
'Lily,
Hey, sorry about you having to live with your dad. Why do you hate it over there so much, or better yet why do you hate him so much? And yes, Lily it was really obvious that you hate him too so don't look so surprised. Anyways you actually blew up in your parent's faces, as in you yelled at them? OMG! Way to go unless of course you got in trouble. Also I'm having a pool party this weekend, which is like tomorrow, I was wondering can you come? PPPPPLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't seen you in like a full complete three weeks. Ask your mom you get away with a lot of things with her. Plus she seems nicer and cooler then your dad. Plus a bunch of people from Hogwarts will be here and some of my muggle friends. If you can go call, me at 248- 9899 and we'll talk. Also, you will have to wear a bathing suit or bikini or something to swim in, ya know. Well I should go and ask your mom right away. Right now, go and stop reading. Bye
~Sierra~
Lily grinned and walked swiftly out of her room and too her mothers room still in her blue pj's. When she reached the door and quietly knocked. After hearing, a muffled come in Lily opened the door and walked in. She looked at her mother's back from where she sat at her desk. Lily cleared her throat.
"Mom." She said. Her mother turned and looked at Lily and smiled warmly at her. "I was wondering if I could go to Sierra's party this weekend. Please. We haven't seen each other in like forever. PPPPPLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEE!!!!!!" She begged. She made her puppy dogface at her mother. Her mother laughed and shook her head.
She sighed. "Of course you can, but who all is going to be there?" She asked.
Lily grinned. "Just some people from Hogwarts I haven't seen in a while and some of Sierra's muggle friends." She answered with a shrug.
Ms. Stover nodded her head and sighed. "Lily I am really trying to find us our own place." Ms. Stover said.
"I know mom. This isn't your fault." Lily said with a smile. "I'm going to call Sierra now. OK." She said and left once her mother nodded.
Lily closed the door behind her and slowly made her way down to their living room where their cordless phone was. She grabbed it and swiftly ran back up stairs to her room and then quickly closed the door and locked it. After that, she dialed in Sierra's number and waited for someone to pick up.
"Hello?"
"Mrs. Bailey, is Sierra there?" Lily asked.
"Yes she is hold on a minute Lily." Mrs. Bailey answered.
After a couple of seconds, a breathless voice came over the phone. "Hello?"
"Sierra? It's Lily." Lily said wondering why Sierra would be breathless.
"LILY! Oh My God! It's been forever since I heard your voice." Sierra said excitedly.
"We haven't talked to each other in four day's Sierra." Lily giggled. "Anyways, why are you so breathless?" Lily asked sitting down on her bed.
"Oh, me and a couple of my friends we're just out side playing around in the swimming pool. Then when you called I ran inside and up the stairs." Sierra said.
"Oh." Lily said. "Who are your friends?" Lily asked her curiosity getting to her.
"Oh, wouldn't you like to know." Sierra said.
Lily could tell she was grinning by the way her voice was. "Sierra ppppppllllllllleeeeeaaassseeeee tell me." Lily said.
Sierra laughed. "They're just some of my muggle friends and my three cousins. They all know I'm a witch though." Sierra said.
"Oh. How long have you've known them?" Lily asked.
"Uhh. Like since first grade or something. I'm not sure." Sierra said.
"Oh." Lily said. "Anyways I called to tell you I could come." Lily said and quickly removed the phone away from her ear when Sierra screamed happily in it. Then she heard a voice in the background asking when she was coming back out.
"Sierra's who's that?" Lily asked.
"Marcy." Sierra said as she calmed down a little. Lily then heard her talking to Marcy. "Marcy I'll be out in a bit." Sierra said to the person named Marcy. "Ok. I'm back and Marcy's gone." Sierra said.
"Who's Marcy?" Lily asked.
"One of my Muggle friends." Sierra said. "Anyways enough about my friends. When are you coming over?" Sierra asked.
"I dunno. What time do you want me over at your house?" Lily asked.
"Early! Be over here at like seven thirty am." Sierra said.
"God Sierra. What time does the party start?" Lily asked.
"Noon." Sierra answered. "And it ends at nine." Sierra said.
"Oh. Well I would have to ask my mom." Lily said.
"Then go ask." Sierra said about the time Lily heard her start to jump up and down. Lily laughed and left her room. When she reached her mom's room and knocked and went in.
"Mom can you take me to Sierra's at seven tomorrow morning?" Lily asked and got a simply nod from her mom. "Thanks mom." Lily said happily before leaving the room to get back to Sierra. "SIERRA!" Lily screamed.
"Eek! What." Sierra asked from the phone.
"I'll see ya tomorrow at seven." Lily said.
"Great. And Lily don't worry about bringing anything to wear I have a outfit for you." Sierra said.
"You know I probably shouldn't but since you are my best friend I'll trust you." Lily said.
"Good." Sierra said.
"Anyways is anyone else going to there early?" Lily asked.
"Yeah, but they're not coming till eleven." Sierra explained a bit on the sulky side. "It will be Marcy, Janet, and Shelly." Sierra answered.
"Oh." Lily said.
"Janet and Shelly are twins and friend's with the family along with Marcy." Sierra said about the time Lily heard Sierra's mother telling her it was time to get off the phone and spend time with her guest. "But MOM! This is Lily! They can wait. Besides they're boring the heck out of me." Sierra whined and the groaned. "Lily I gotta go. The wicked witch of the west is gonna hex me if I don't." Sierra said.
"Ok. Bye Sierra, See ya tomorrow." Lily said laughing as she hung up the phone. 'I can't wait for today to be over.'

(The next morning at six.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*
"Lily wake up." Ms. Stover said gentle to her sleeping twelve-year- old daughter. Lily groaned and slowly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower. When she got out, she was fully awake and ready for the day to begin. When she entered her room, she walked over to her closet and opened it up to get her clothes out. She looked for about five minutes before she pulled out a pair of light jeans and a white tank top. Then she put on a pair of nickie shoes and started to brush her hair. After she brushed all the knots and tangles out of her hair she put in a high ponytail with two pieces framing her face. After that, she walked down stairs to eat breakfast so she could then brush her teeth.
When every thing was done, Lily grabbed a light jacket and left the house to get in the car. She waited fro her mom to come out so they could leave for Sierra's. "Ready to go?" Ms. Stover asked as she closed her car door and started the car.
"Yep." Lily said as they started for Sierra's house. "And mom thanks for taking me." Lily said.
"Anything for you Lily." Her mom said and turned on the radio. The rest of the trip Lily sat quietly, but when she saw Sierra's large house she grinned and looked over at her mom.
"Thanks again mom." Lily said as the car stopped and she jumped out and was greeted by a running Sierra.
"Lily!" Sierra called out as she reached Lily's car. "Thank you Ms. Stover for Bringing Lily." Sierra said.
"It was my pleasure. Lily what time do you want me to pick you up?" Ms. Stover said to Lily.
"Oh at-"
"Ms. Stover can Lily stay at my house for the entire weekend. Then you can pick her up at five o'clock in the afternoon on Monday." Sierra said cutting Lily off.
"Ms. Stover chuckled softly. "Lily I'll pick you up at five o'clock Monday afternoon. Ok." She said.
"Thanks mom." Lily said and kissed her mom on the cheek. Ms. Stover only nodded before waving and leaving the two girls standing alone in Sierra's driveway. "You do realize though that I have no clothes?" Lily asked glancing at Sierra.
"You can borrow mine." Sierra said dragging Lily in her large three- story house.
"Ok." Lily said as she walked up to the second floor where Sierra's room was located. When they entered her room Lily immediately ran over to Sierra's dark blue bed and flopped down on it.
"What do you think you are doing Miss Evans? Get your butt up and come with me." Sierra said walking out of her room with Lily in tow.
"Where are we going?" Lily asked as the walked up stairs to the third floor.
"Third floor." Sierra said.
"I swear you should date Sirius. You act almost like him." Lily mumbled before she was whacked upside the head. "What did you do that for?" Lily asked staring at Sierra shocked.
"Honestly Lily maybe you should date the prat James Potter." Sierra said and was whacked up side the head also. "My point proven." Sierra said rubbing her head before walking on down the hall and going into a room. Lily followed Sierra into the room and rolled her eyes.
"What?" Sierra asked as she sat done in a comfy chair. "Now go in there and try on every bathing suit and show me so I can pick one out for you. I have two of every suite in there also." Sierra said and she started to munch on some chips. Lily grumbled, but did as she was told.
The first suit she tried on was a one-piece suite. It was a very bright hot pink color with no back to it with a low front. Lily walked out with a look of horror on her face, which made Sierra laugh. After Sierra had finished laughing, she shook her head and Lily walked back in the closet. His time she changed into a all black one piece that had like a little ruffly skirt to it. It also had no back to it. She walked out with her hands on her hips. Sierra shook her head and Lily rolled her eyes and went back in to put on another suit. This time it was a two-piece one. The bottom half was made like shorts and were a really dark blue. And the top tied around the neck and back. It showed off a good deal of her body, which Lily hated.
"NO!" Lily said and came out with one hand on her hip.
Sierra looked her over and smiled. "Perfect." She said and Lily opened her mouth to object, but Sierra had left to go and pick pout her suite.
"Sierra. I don't wanna where this." Lily whined sitting down on the small leather sofa.
"Lily you look good in it. And I'll be wearing one exactly like it except mine will be a lighter blue." Sierra said walking out of her closet and in the exact same two-piece, as Lily except hers was a light blue. "See." Sierra said and pulled back on her shorts she was wearing over the bottom piece. "And here are some shorts." Sierra said tossing Lily a pair of tan shorts to go over Lily's bottom piece. Lily quickly slid into the shorts and slipped her white tank top back on. Sierra looked at her and rolled her eyes.
"You do know you 'WILL' have to take off the shorts and tank top when the party starts right?" Sierra asked.
"Yes." Lily said and followed Sierra out of the room and to the one across the room that Lily knew was the game room.
"Good." Sierra said and sat down in front of an x-box. "Now let's play." She said as both girls engaged in the game before them.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*
(Eleven o'clock)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*
Sierra and Lily were engrossed in the movie Cry Baby when the doorbell rang. Lily and Sierra jumped slightly before laughing at there stupidity. Finally, after their laughter was over they both got up and walked down the steps to the front door. The girls were met with a female voice talking to Sierra's mother before actually seeing who the people were.
"Marcy." Sierra whispered to Lily as the finally came in too view of the three guest.
"Sierra there you are. I was getting ready to get you." Mrs. Bailey said.
"Yep. I'm here." Sierra said smiling at her mother.
"Well I'll leave you girls alone now." Mrs. Bailey said before leaving and going back in the kitchen.
When Mrs. Bailey was gone silence stretched on and on wrapping the five girls in silence. Finally, a really pretty blonde girl that looked flawless broke the silence. "So Sierra who's your friend? And how come you didn't tell us there was gonna be some one here before us?" The girl asked, or more liked smirked as she looked Lily over.
"Well Marcy this is Lily Evans, and frankly I didn't think it was your business if anyone was gonna be here before you." Sierra said smugly before putting on a bright smile.
"I see." Marcy said. Marcy was a very pretty girl. She had wavy blonde hair to her shoulder blades and greenish blue eyes. She was tall and had a great frame for a twelve in a half-year-old. She had perfect manicured nails and toenails. She wore a pair of dark blue jean shorts and a blue halter with a pair of blue flip-flops. She held a small shopping bag in one of her hands also. Her hair was put back in a little clip at the top of her head "I'm Marcy Creed. One of Sierra's friends that doesn't go to Hoggywrats." Marcy smiled.
"Hogwarts." Lily and Sierra corrected her in unison.
"I see." Marcy said. "Well this is Janet and Shelly." Marcy said pointing to two girls who didn't look anything alike.
"We're twins." One of them said. "I'm Shelly Foster." Shelly had short dark brown hair and pea green eyes and was shorter then her sister, but taller then Lily and Sierra. She had average frame and was a pretty girl. She wore a pair of light blue shorts and her bikini top.
"I'm Janet Foster." The other twin said. Janet had long blonde hair and really dark eyes. She like her sister had a small frame and was also pretty. She wore a pair of black shorts and her black bikini top.
"I'm Lily Evans." Lily said from behind Sierra.
"And I'm Sierra Bailey." Sierra added not wanting to be left out.
"Sierra we already know who you are." Shelly giggled.
"Yeah, but I didn't want to be the odd ball of the bunch." Sierra said and turned to walk up stairs to the game room.
"We're we going?" Marcy asked.
"Game room." Sierra called back without stopping. Lily was right behind her.
"Hey Sierra is Allison, Jenna, or Candy coming?" Lily asked.
"Candy is, I'm not sure about Jenna or Allison. I wrote them a letter, but didn't get a reply, so they might show up. But it's weird I've been sending them letters all summer and neither have answered back." Sierra said.
"Same here." Lily said as they entered the game room with the three- muggle girls following them.
"Whose Allison, Jenna, and Candy?" Marcy asked.
"Some friends of mine and Lily's." Sierra answered as she and Lily sat down on the couch and started to play a game awaiting the rest of the people.
About fifteen minutes had past and Sierra and Lily were deep in their game and conversation and had forgotten about Marcy, Janet, and Shelly. Marcy being the popular person she was at school couldn't stand being ignored.
"So Lily have a boyfriend yet?" Marcy asked.
"No." Lily answered distractedly.
"I already had six." Marcy gloated.
"Point being?" Lily asked watching and playing the game intently.
Marcy looked at Lily odd. "Point being I can get a guy faster then you." She said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"What's that got to do with anything? There are more to life then just guys Marcy." Lily said.
"Yeah Like clothes and makeup and shopping and swimming and a bunch of other things." Janet said.
Lily snorted and couldn't believe Sierra was friends with these people. "Yeah I guess it is for some people." She said before completely tuning them out. Marcy, Shelly, and Janet all exchanged glances deciding immediately that they did not like Lily and could not believe Sierra was friends with her. Marcy wondered if the rest of Sierra's friends were as weird and rude as Lily was.
"Sierra." Marcy called out.
Sierra paused the game and looked at her annoyed. "What?" She half asked and half sapped.
"I wanted to talk to you alone you know a friend to friend talk." Marcy said.
"Uhh..." Sierra said. "Why? I already had one of them with Lily-kins here." Sierra said and smirked as Lily narrowed her at her for using the nickname the marauders used for her. Sierra smiled innocently at her.
Marcy gritted her teeth together. "But Sierra it's me one of your oldest friends." She said.
Sierra looked at her oddly and Lily let out a small laugh. Marcy eyed Lily evilly and Sierra looked as if she was very confused. "Is there something important you need to tell me Marcy?" Sierra asked.
Marcy smiled. "Yes." Marcy said.
"Oh, ok. Go ahead." Sierra said.
"Privately." Marcy said dryly.
"Fine." Sierra said obviously annoyed at Marcy as she stood up and walked out of the room with Marcy following her. Sierra led them to her bedroom and turned to face Marcy who had closed the door behind them. "Now what Marcy. You never wanted to have a heart to heart talk with me before. What gives?" Sierra asked her friend.
"We don't like her." Marcy said crossing her arms and looking darkly at Sierra.
"Don't like who dear?" Sierra asked.
"That Lily girl." Marcy said angrily. "She's a rude stuck up b#tch." Marcy blurted out.
Sierra raised one of her brows at Marcy and looked at her, her face clearly showing she was pissed off at her friend. She crossed her arms across her chest and licked her lips not saying anything. Letting silence take over the both of them until she was ready to talk. Thoughts ran through her head as to how Marcy could think about Lily like that when she didn't even know her. How could these people she considered friends be so judgmental toward someone they didn't even know.
"Marcy you don't even know Lily." Sierra said trying to keep her voice calm.
"Um hello, she was totally rude to Shelly, Janet, and me. Didn't you see it?" Marcy asked angrily.
"Dude, Lily was being polite to you guys." Sierra said.
"She totally blew us off when we were trying to have a conversation with her." Marcy said.
"Yeah I would too if someone was bragging that they had gotten more boyfriends with me." Sierra spat.
"Your totally taking that freak's side, aren't you?" Marcy blurted out.
Sierra looked shocked, "She my best friend who hasn't done anything wrong, what do ya expect." She said before storming off leaving a very pissed off Marcy in her room.

Lily sat in her new room in her new house that her mom had rented after Christmas. It was a small, very small little house with green shutters, with only one floor. It had a small kitchen and living room and three bedrooms and one bathroom. Lily didn't mind about where they lived; however, Petunia did. She was constantly complaining about the house and how 'daddy' had a better house. Lily knew it hurt her mother, so she would always try to make her feel better.

She had heard from Candy, but Allison and Jenna hadn't written her or anyone that Lily knew of. Lily was very curious as to what those two were up to. Remus had also written to her and she being the nice person she was wrote back, also because they friends.
"Lily dear come here!" She heard her mother shout.
"Ok MOM, COMING!" She yelled back and hoped out of her room. She had on a pair of blue jean shorts and a blue tank top with blue flip-flops. Her hair was up in two low loose pigtail in the back of her head. When she entered her small living room, she saw her mom sitting quietly on the couch and to her surprise her father sitting on a chair and Petunia in another chair. Lily looked around confused at her 'family' that was gathered in the living room.
"Mom, why is Dad here? What's the matter?" She asked.
"Lily sweetheart come here." Ms. Stover said patting the cushion beside of her. Lily obediently walked over and sat down. She looked at Petunia who was smirking, at her father who looked rather pleased, and then at her mother who looked about ready to cry. "Lily I have something to tell you." Her mother said.
"Ok." Lily said. "What is it?" She asked again.
"Lily dear, we are moving again, because Mr. Cod has raised the rent and as you know we can't afford it." She said looking ashamed.
"Ok mom. No biggie. But what's that got to do with Dad?" She asked and didn't notice him look a little annoyed.
"Lily your father has been kind enough to let us use his home until I can get back on my feet. And I have excepted." Her mother said. Lily paled and opened her mouth to protest.
"What? NO! Mom can't you move somewhere else? Go to grandma's, she'll help us!" Lily screamed, she couldn't imagine living with her father 24/7.
"It's only for a little while Lily. Besides your grandma won't take us in." She added quietly.
"This sucks! I don't want to move to his house! I hate it there! It's f#cked up over there!" Lily screamed standing up from the couch.
Her family looked at her in shock. Had their sweet innocent never-to- do-any-wrong Lily just cursed, and at them no less. She stood there angry and shocked that her mother would do this. She looked at Petunia whose mouth was wide open, then at her mother who seemed utterly shocked, and then at her father who just looked plan angry.
"Lily I'm sorry, there's no other way." Her mother said sincerely.
"Well what about if I write to Sierra and ask if I can stay at her house for the rest of the summer?" Lily asked pleading her mom through eyes.
Her mom smiled warmly and was about to say something when her father spoke up sounding angry. "Absolutely not. After what you just pulled, do you honestly think your mother and I would let you go?" He asked.
"I wouldn't know, would you?" Lily spat back angrily.
"What has gotten in to you Lily?" Ms. Stover asked.
"ME?! Mom! Your practically sending me to h#ll it self!" Lily yelled.
"I'll tell you what has gotten into her! It's that freak school she goes to! I told you not to send." Mr. Evans yelled and Petunia only smirked and nodded.
"I don't go to a freak school!" Lily screamed.
"Of course you don't Lily. You go to a great school." Ms. Stover said and smiled at her daughter.
"Typical. You are always letting her get away with everything Maggie." Mr. Evans said angrily.
"You do the same thing with Petunia Sam. And I do not let Lily get away with everything." Ms. Stover said.
"Whatever. Get packed I want to get you moved in as soon as possible." Sam said.
Ms. Stover sighed. "Girls go get packed, while I pack up the other things. Sam you can help." Ms. Stover said sadly. Sam smirked and walked away with Maggie to the kitchen.
"Way to go freak. Mom and dad were getting along until you come along." Petunia said and walked away leaving Lily thunder struck. A single tear slept out of Lily's eyes before she turned and begin to pack.

(At Sam Evan's house.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*
Lily stood outside of her father's house with her suitcase looking at the house with dread. She sighed and looked behind her at her mother and father who were carrying her mother's thing into the house to her room. Lily sighed and made her way in to the to familiar house and to her awful room. When she was there, she flopped down on her pink bed and sighed. After a while of just laying on her bed doing nothing she finally decided, she would write to her best friend and tell her about her life.
'Sierra,
Hey, This is Lily, as you already know. I just thought I'd write you and tell you how my life is doing right now. Not so good. My mom had to move us again, because our rent got to high. Anyway, so now we're living with my father, because he took us in. I just blew up in their faces and everything like that. Anyways I hate it here, I don't see why mom didn't just go and live with grandma, or Aunt Rosie. Oh well I can't wait to hear from you and see you again. I can't wait for school to start up. Well I had better go and get ready for bed.
~Lily~
After wards she quickly tied it too her owl and sent him on it's way to Sierra's. After the owl disappeared, she sighed and turned back around to get ready for sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*
(The next morning.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*
The next morning Lily awoke to the sound of tapping at her window. Lily groggily opened her eyes and peered over at the window to see an owl at her window. She opened her eyes wider and realized it was Sierra's owl. Lily quickly swung her legs off the bed, walked over to her window, and opened it. The owl swooped in and dropped the letter on Lily's bed before leaving Lily's room.
Lily shrugged at the owl's behavior, walked over to her bed, and flopped down. She quickly picked up her letter and started to open it.
'Lily,
Hey, sorry about you having to live with your dad. Why do you hate it over there so much, or better yet why do you hate him so much? And yes, Lily it was really obvious that you hate him too so don't look so surprised. Anyways you actually blew up in your parent's faces, as in you yelled at them? OMG! Way to go unless of course you got in trouble. Also I'm having a pool party this weekend, which is like tomorrow, I was wondering can you come? PPPPPLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't seen you in like a full complete three weeks. Ask your mom you get away with a lot of things with her. Plus she seems nicer and cooler then your dad. Plus a bunch of people from Hogwarts will be here and some of my muggle friends. If you can go call, me at 248- 9899 and we'll talk. Also, you will have to wear a bathing suit or bikini or something to swim in, ya know. Well I should go and ask your mom right away. Right now, go and stop reading. Bye
~Sierra~
Lily grinned and walked swiftly out of her room and too her mothers room still in her blue pj's. When she reached the door and quietly knocked. After hearing, a muffled come in Lily opened the door and walked in. She looked at her mother's back from where she sat at her desk. Lily cleared her throat.
"Mom." She said. Her mother turned and looked at Lily and smiled warmly at her. "I was wondering if I could go to Sierra's party this weekend. Please. We haven't seen each other in like forever. PPPPPLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEE!!!!!!" She begged. She made her puppy dogface at her mother. Her mother laughed and shook her head.
She sighed. "Of course you can, but who all is going to be there?" She asked.
Lily grinned. "Just some people from Hogwarts I haven't seen in a while and some of Sierra's muggle friends." She answered with a shrug.
Ms. Stover nodded her head and sighed. "Lily I am really trying to find us our own place." Ms. Stover said.
"I know mom. This isn't your fault." Lily said with a smile. "I'm going to call Sierra now. OK." She said and left once her mother nodded.
Lily closed the door behind her and slowly made her way down to their living room where their cordless phone was. She grabbed it and swiftly ran back up stairs to her room and then quickly closed the door and locked it. After that, she dialed in Sierra's number and waited for someone to pick up.
"Hello?"
"Mrs. Bailey, is Sierra there?" Lily asked.
"Yes she is hold on a minute Lily." Mrs. Bailey answered.
After a couple of seconds, a breathless voice came over the phone. "Hello?"
"Sierra? It's Lily." Lily said wondering why Sierra would be breathless.
"LILY! Oh My God! It's been forever since I heard your voice." Sierra said excitedly.
"We haven't talked to each other in four day's Sierra." Lily giggled. "Anyways, why are you so breathless?" Lily asked sitting down on her bed.
"Oh, me and a couple of my friends we're just out side playing around in the swimming pool. Then when you called I ran inside and up the stairs." Sierra said.
"Oh." Lily said. "Who are your friends?" Lily asked her curiosity getting to her.
"Oh, wouldn't you like to know." Sierra said.
Lily could tell she was grinning by the way her voice was. "Sierra ppppppllllllllleeeeeaaassseeeee tell me." Lily said.
Sierra laughed. "They're just some of my muggle friends and my three cousins. They all know I'm a witch though." Sierra said.
"Oh. How long have you've known them?" Lily asked.
"Uhh. Like since first grade or something. I'm not sure." Sierra said.
"Oh." Lily said. "Anyways I called to tell you I could come." Lily said and quickly removed the phone away from her ear when Sierra screamed happily in it. Then she heard a voice in the background asking when she was coming back out.
"Sierra's who's that?" Lily asked.
"Marcy." Sierra said as she calmed down a little. Lily then heard her talking to Marcy. "Marcy I'll be out in a bit." Sierra said to the person named Marcy. "Ok. I'm back and Marcy's gone." Sierra said.
"Who's Marcy?" Lily asked.
"One of my Muggle friends." Sierra said. "Anyways enough about my friends. When are you coming over?" Sierra asked.
"I dunno. What time do you want me over at your house?" Lily asked.
"Early! Be over here at like seven thirty am." Sierra said.
"God Sierra. What time does the party start?" Lily asked.
"Noon." Sierra answered. "And it ends at nine." Sierra said.
"Oh. Well I would have to ask my mom." Lily said.
"Then go ask." Sierra said about the time Lily heard her start to jump up and down. Lily laughed and left her room. When she reached her mom's room and knocked and went in.
"Mom can you take me to Sierra's at seven tomorrow morning?" Lily asked and got a simply nod from her mom. "Thanks mom." Lily said happily before leaving the room to get back to Sierra. "SIERRA!" Lily screamed.
"Eek! What." Sierra asked from the phone.
"I'll see ya tomorrow at seven." Lily said.
"Great. And Lily don't worry about bringing anything to wear I have a outfit for you." Sierra said.
"You know I probably shouldn't but since you are my best friend I'll trust you." Lily said.
"Good." Sierra said.
"Anyways is anyone else going to there early?" Lily asked.
"Yeah, but they're not coming till eleven." Sierra explained a bit on the sulky side. "It will be Marcy, Janet, and Shelly." Sierra answered.
"Oh." Lily said.
"Janet and Shelly are twins and friend's with the family along with Marcy." Sierra said about the time Lily heard Sierra's mother telling her it was time to get off the phone and spend time with her guest. "But MOM! This is Lily! They can wait. Besides they're boring the heck out of me." Sierra whined and the groaned. "Lily I gotta go. The wicked witch of the west is gonna hex me if I don't." Sierra said.
"Ok. Bye Sierra, See ya tomorrow." Lily said laughing as she hung up the phone. 'I can't wait for today to be over.'

(The next morning at six.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*
"Lily wake up." Ms. Stover said gentle to her sleeping twelve-year- old daughter. Lily groaned and slowly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower. When she got out, she was fully awake and ready for the day to begin. When she entered her room, she walked over to her closet and opened it up to get her clothes out. She looked for about five minutes before she pulled out a pair of light jeans and a white tank top. Then she put on a pair of nickie shoes and started to brush her hair. After she brushed all the knots and tangles out of her hair she put in a high ponytail with two pieces framing her face. After that, she walked down stairs to eat breakfast so she could then brush her teeth.
When every thing was done, Lily grabbed a light jacket and left the house to get in the car. She waited fro her mom to come out so they could leave for Sierra's. "Ready to go?" Ms. Stover asked as she closed her car door and started the car.
"Yep." Lily said as they started for Sierra's house. "And mom thanks for taking me." Lily said.
"Anything for you Lily." Her mom said and turned on the radio. The rest of the trip Lily sat quietly, but when she saw Sierra's large house she grinned and looked over at her mom.
"Thanks again mom." Lily said as the car stopped and she jumped out and was greeted by a running Sierra.
"Lily!" Sierra called out as she reached Lily's car. "Thank you Ms. Stover for Bringing Lily." Sierra said.
"It was my pleasure. Lily what time do you want me to pick you up?" Ms. Stover said to Lily.
"Oh at-"
"Ms. Stover can Lily stay at my house for the entire weekend. Then you can pick her up at five o'clock in the afternoon on Monday." Sierra said cutting Lily off.
"Ms. Stover chuckled softly. "Lily I'll pick you up at five o'clock Monday afternoon. Ok." She said.
"Thanks mom." Lily said and kissed her mom on the cheek. Ms. Stover only nodded before waving and leaving the two girls standing alone in Sierra's driveway. "You do realize though that I have no clothes?" Lily asked glancing at Sierra.
"You can borrow mine." Sierra said dragging Lily in her large three- story house.
"Ok." Lily said as she walked up to the second floor where Sierra's room was located. When they entered her room Lily immediately ran over to Sierra's dark blue bed and flopped down on it.
"What do you think you are doing Miss Evans? Get your butt up and come with me." Sierra said walking out of her room with Lily in tow.
"Where are we going?" Lily asked as the walked up stairs to the third floor.
"Third floor." Sierra said.
"I swear you should date Sirius. You act almost like him." Lily mumbled before she was whacked upside the head. "What did you do that for?" Lily asked staring at Sierra shocked.
"Honestly Lily maybe you should date the prat James Potter." Sierra said and was whacked up side the head also. "My point proven." Sierra said rubbing her head before walking on down the hall and going into a room. Lily followed Sierra into the room and rolled her eyes.
"What?" Sierra asked as she sat done in a comfy chair. "Now go in there and try on every bathing suit and show me so I can pick one out for you. I have two of every suite in there also." Sierra said and she started to munch on some chips. Lily grumbled, but did as she was told.
The first suit she tried on was a one-piece suite. It was a very bright hot pink color with no back to it with a low front. Lily walked out with a look of horror on her face, which made Sierra laugh. After Sierra had finished laughing, she shook her head and Lily walked back in the closet. His time she changed into a all black one piece that had like a little ruffly skirt to it. It also had no back to it. She walked out with her hands on her hips. Sierra shook her head and Lily rolled her eyes and went back in to put on another suit. This time it was a two-piece one. The bottom half was made like shorts and were a really dark blue. And the top tied around the neck and back. It showed off a good deal of her body, which Lily hated.
"NO!" Lily said and came out with one hand on her hip.
Sierra looked her over and smiled. "Perfect." She said and Lily opened her mouth to object, but Sierra had left to go and pick pout her suite.
"Sierra. I don't wanna where this." Lily whined sitting down on the small leather sofa.
"Lily you look good in it. And I'll be wearing one exactly like it except mine will be a lighter blue." Sierra said walking out of her closet and in the exact same two-piece, as Lily except hers was a light blue. "See." Sierra said and pulled back on her shorts she was wearing over the bottom piece. "And here are some shorts." Sierra said tossing Lily a pair of tan shorts to go over Lily's bottom piece. Lily quickly slid into the shorts and slipped her white tank top back on. Sierra looked at her and rolled her eyes.
"You do know you 'WILL' have to take off the shorts and tank top when the party starts right?" Sierra asked.
"Yes." Lily said and followed Sierra out of the room and to the one across the room that Lily knew was the game room.
"Good." Sierra said and sat down in front of an x-box. "Now let's play." She said as both girls engaged in the game before them.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*
(Eleven o'clock)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*
Sierra and Lily were engrossed in the movie Cry Baby when the doorbell rang. Lily and Sierra jumped slightly before laughing at there stupidity. Finally, after their laughter was over they both got up and walked down the steps to the front door. The girls were met with a female voice talking to Sierra's mother before actually seeing who the people were.
"Marcy." Sierra whispered to Lily as the finally came in too view of the three guest.
"Sierra there you are. I was getting ready to get you." Mrs. Bailey said.
"Yep. I'm here." Sierra said smiling at her mother.
"Well I'll leave you girls alone now." Mrs. Bailey said before leaving and going back in the kitchen.
When Mrs. Bailey was gone silence stretched on and on wrapping the five girls in silence. Finally, a really pretty blonde girl that looked flawless broke the silence. "So Sierra who's your friend? And how come you didn't tell us there was gonna be some one here before us?" The girl asked, or more liked smirked as she looked Lily over.
"Well Marcy this is Lily Evans, and frankly I didn't think it was your business if anyone was gonna be here before you." Sierra said smugly before putting on a bright smile.
"I see." Marcy said. Marcy was a very pretty girl. She had wavy blonde hair to her shoulder blades and greenish blue eyes. She was tall and had a great frame for a twelve in a half-year-old. She had perfect manicured nails and toenails. She wore a pair of dark blue jean shorts and a blue halter with a pair of blue flip-flops. She held a small shopping bag in one of her hands also. Her hair was put back in a little clip at the top of her head "I'm Marcy Creed. One of Sierra's friends that doesn't go to Hoggywrats." Marcy smiled.
"Hogwarts." Lily and Sierra corrected her in unison.
"I see." Marcy said. "Well this is Janet and Shelly." Marcy said pointing to two girls who didn't look anything alike.
"We're twins." One of them said. "I'm Shelly Foster." Shelly had short dark brown hair and pea green eyes and was shorter then her sister, but taller then Lily and Sierra. She had average frame and was a pretty girl. She wore a pair of light blue shorts and her bikini top.
"I'm Janet Foster." The other twin said. Janet had long blonde hair and really dark eyes. She like her sister had a small frame and was also pretty. She wore a pair of black shorts and her black bikini top.
"I'm Lily Evans." Lily said from behind Sierra.
"And I'm Sierra Bailey." Sierra added not wanting to be left out.
"Sierra we already know who you are." Shelly giggled.
"Yeah, but I didn't want to be the odd ball of the bunch." Sierra said and turned to walk up stairs to the game room.
"We're we going?" Marcy asked.
"Game room." Sierra called back without stopping. Lily was right behind her.
"Hey Sierra is Allison, Jenna, or Candy coming?" Lily asked.
"Candy is, I'm not sure about Jenna or Allison. I wrote them a letter, but didn't get a reply, so they might show up. But it's weird I've been sending them letters all summer and neither have answered back." Sierra said.
"Same here." Lily said as they entered the game room with the three- muggle girls following them.
"Whose Allison, Jenna, and Candy?" Marcy asked.
"Some friends of mine and Lily's." Sierra answered as she and Lily sat down on the couch and started to play a game awaiting the rest of the people.
About fifteen minutes had past and Sierra and Lily were deep in their game and conversation and had forgotten about Marcy, Janet, and Shelly. Marcy being the popular person she was at school couldn't stand being ignored.
"So Lily have a boyfriend yet?" Marcy asked.
"No." Lily answered distractedly.
"I already had six." Marcy gloated.
"Point being?" Lily asked watching and playing the game intently.
Marcy looked at Lily odd. "Point being I can get a guy faster then you." She said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"What's that got to do with anything? There are more to life then just guys Marcy." Lily said.
"Yeah Like clothes and makeup and shopping and swimming and a bunch of other things." Janet said.
Lily snorted and couldn't believe Sierra was friends with these people. "Yeah I guess it is for some people." She said before completely tuning them out. Marcy, Shelly, and Janet all exchanged glances deciding immediately that they did not like Lily and could not believe Sierra was friends with her. Marcy wondered if the rest of Sierra's friends were as weird and rude as Lily was.
"Sierra." Marcy called out.
Sierra paused the game and looked at her annoyed. "What?" She half asked and half sapped.
"I wanted to talk to you alone you know a friend to friend talk." Marcy said.
"Uhh..." Sierra said. "Why? I already had one of them with Lily-kins here." Sierra said and smirked as Lily narrowed her at her for using the nickname the marauders used for her. Sierra smiled innocently at her.
Marcy gritted her teeth together. "But Sierra it's me one of your oldest friends." She said.
Sierra looked at her oddly and Lily let out a small laugh. Marcy eyed Lily evilly and Sierra looked as if she was very confused. "Is there something important you need to tell me Marcy?" Sierra asked.
Marcy smiled. "Yes." Marcy said.
"Oh, ok. Go ahead." Sierra said.
"Privately." Marcy said dryly.
"Fine." Sierra said obviously annoyed at Marcy as she stood up and walked out of the room with Marcy following her. Sierra led them to her bedroom and turned to face Marcy who had closed the door behind them. "Now what Marcy. You never wanted to have a heart to heart talk with me before. What gives?" Sierra asked her friend.
"We don't like her." Marcy said crossing her arms and looking darkly at Sierra.
"Don't like who dear?" Sierra asked.
"That Lily girl." Marcy said angrily. "She's a rude stuck up b#tch." Marcy blurted out.
Sierra raised one of her brows at Marcy and looked at her, her face clearly showing she was pissed off at her friend. She crossed her arms across her chest and licked her lips not saying anything. Letting silence take over the both of them until she was ready to talk. Thoughts ran through her head as to how Marcy could think about Lily like that when she didn't even know her. How could these people she considered friends be so judgmental toward someone they didn't even know.
"Marcy you don't even know Lily." Sierra said trying to keep her voice calm.
"Um hello, she was totally rude to Shelly, Janet, and me. Didn't you see it?" Marcy asked angrily.
"Dude, Lily was being polite to you guys." Sierra said.
"She totally blew us off when we were trying to have a conversation with her." Marcy said.
"Yeah I would too if someone was bragging that they had gotten more boyfriends with me." Sierra spat.
"Your totally taking that freak's side, aren't you?" Marcy blurted out.
Sierra looked shocked, "She my best friend who hasn't done anything wrong, what do ya expect." She said before storming off leaving a very pissed off Marcy in her room.
