Chapter 12: Crazy Muggle Devices

"So Lily, are you excited to go back to school?" Katherine, one of Lily's muggle friends asked her.

"Well…yes, but there's so much I'm going to miss from school and there's one boy at school who I cannot stand. Let's just say his absence would make me a lot more excited."

Katherine perked up immediately. "Boy? Oooooh, details my dear, details. What's he like?"

"He's a prat."

"What's his name?

"James Potter."

"Is he cute?"

"Yeah…until he opens his mouth. I cannot believe I just called Potter cute."

"What about his friends?" She winked suggestively.

"Whoa, Kat. What's with all the questions? Mer-God!" Lily stumbled, but was relieved Kat hadn't noticed she had almost said Merlin.

"Just curious." Kat said with a shrug. "Where is this school of yours anyway? Why can't I go? School in France sucks. The girls are so snobby."

Lily sighed. "You know it's an exclusive performing arts school. I told you that. It's in Scotland. Daddy's friend heard me singing in the shower and got me in. I was lucky."

"Oh. I wish I had a voice like yours. But anyway, I'm tired and we have a big day of bonding before we go back to school day after. Let's get some sleep. Kat replied, switching of the television.

"Okies." Lily said, following her up the stairs to her room.

As Lily lay awake she watched Kats silhouette breathing evenly as she slept. She thought about Jordan and how good it would be to see her, and be able to talk freely about magic and her real life at Hogwarts. It sucked to have to lie to Kat like that, but she knew that most muggles like Petty feared magic. She drifted off to sleep slowly, dreaming of quidditch and magic, and hoping she'd make seeker this year…

oO0Oo

Jordan fooled around with the crazy muggle device Lily had lent her. A dape-player…something weird like that. Click! Play. She jumped as the music started coming out of the earpiece. Click! It stopped. She amused herself for a bit turning it on and off repeatedly before she noticed an owl coming towards the house. Click! It stopped again. She grinned at the crazy muggle device, putting it one her desk and throwing open the window. She saw the strange white, lined parchment and rolled her eyes. "Lily." She muttered good naturedly to herself as she settled down on the window seat to read the letter.

Bella!

Merlin, it has bed FOREVER since I heard from you. How've your hols been? I've had a bit of fun with Petunia. My parents got mad at me the last time and made me apologize. All I did was wave around a random stick, finishing off by pointing it at her. She locked herself in the room for about four hours. Haha, I thought you would think that was funny. Anyway, I suppose I'll see you in a few days! I have to get going because I need to send this before my muggle friend Kat gets here. Love you!

XOXO Lily

Jordan laughed to herself as she finished the letter, picturing her sister's ugly face. She grabbed her wand however and looked up as the door opened. She relaxed as he mother emptied.

"You're home." She said in mild surprise. Her mother was never home.

"Yeah, but just for today. I have to go visit your father tomorrow though. I heard you laughing."

"Oh. Just this." She said, holding up her letter. "Mum?"

"Yes, Pumpkin?"

"Why won't you let me see my dad?" Her mother saighed as she asked this.

"Hunnie, I know it's hard for you to understand right now, but your father is not himself. I'll tell you what. When you're sixteen I'll take you to meet him. Deal?"

"Pinky swear?"

"I pinky swear."

"I love you mummy."

"I love you to, sweetkin."

oO0Oo

"Argh!" This large yell was followed by a large, resounding crash. Arianna Potter grabbed her wand and laughed as she went to see the damage.

"JAMES!" she heard her husband yell. She grinned mischeviously. It was so easy to anger him. She walked in the library and her jaw dropped. How in Merlin's name did that manage this? Every book shelf in the room was lying on the floor. Books were everywhere and there in the middle of it all was James, Sirius, and Remus. She casually leaned in the doorframe.

"Bravo boys." They jumped at the sound of her voice. Remus looked sheepish, but Sirius grinned at him.

"This is Arianna, Remus. She's cool don't worry."

"Thank you, Sirius." Arianna said, flicking her wand. The bookshelves righted themselves immediately. "You should have waited though. It would have been MUCH funnier if David were in here."

"What would have been funnier?"

"David!" Arianna shouted as she spun around. "You scared me!" She said, clutching her chest dramatically.

David rolled his eyes. "I came down to check on the boys and see if they wanted to have a game of quidditch." Arianna smiled as she saw the boys faces light up.

"Oh. Manly stuff, then?"

James puffed his chest up. "You bet. Sorry you can't come with us, mum."

Arianna laughed. "I'm sure I'll survive. You boys have fun now. Maybe I'll go find Madi." James wrinkled his nose.

Awww, all she cares about now is make up and boys. She's no fun anymore."

"Now James, you be nice about your sister. She loves you. Besides you should be happy for her. Head girl…I always knew she took after your father."

"Whatever. She's just going to ruin my year with that power." He muttered as he left the room. Arianna sighed as she went to the window and watched the boys go to the broom shed.

oO0Oo

Lily walked into the kitchen with a yawn to find her mother making breakfast. "Morning mum." She said as she sat down at the table.

"Morning Lily dear." Her mother said, handing her food to her. "Is Kat up yet?" She asked as she sat across from her. Lily shook her head. "Good. An owl came for you this morning." She said, pointing to the windowsill where a very familiar white owl was sitting.

"Hello Aphrodite." She said happily, petting Jordan's owl.

"I'll never get used to that." Her mother said as Lily gave the owl water before it took off.

"Get used to what?" Kat said as she entered the kitchen.

"Nothing." Lily and her mother said together. Jordan looked at them suspiciously before shrugging and taking her seat at the table.

"So Lils, I was thinking, how aobut we hit the mall and then go swimming before catching a movie?" Kat asked, looking over at her friend who had her head in the fridge. Lily stood upright and nodded eagerly.

"That sounds like so much fun! Definitely! Mum can we?"

"Of course, but I'm tagging along." Lily sighed in frustration. "You're only twelve!"

"But Petty gets to do all of that alone!"

"Petunia is sixteen. If I don't go you don't go. End of discussion."

Lily flung herself in her seat and folded her arms. "Fine."

"Lily Vanessa you watch your attitude." Her mother said firmly.

"Yes mum." She said grumpily as Petunia walked into the kitchen.

"Is perfect Lilikins getting yelled at?" She said in feigned shock.

"Petunia stay out of it." Lily sighed and dragged Kat back up to her room as her mother and sister began to argue, tucking her letter into her pocket.

oO0Oo

Jordan sighed as she rode along on the knight bus. Her mum had gone to visit her father so she was stuck going school shopping alone. She grinned as Hogwarts came into view. What did it matter, anyway? She got to spend as much as she wanted to take her mind off of it for now.

oO0Oo

"James, you're going to miss the train!" Arianna yelled up the stairs.

"Coming mum!" James shouted, jumping onto the railing. "Ouch!" he yelled as he hit the floor at the bottom, tripping over his trunk. Mrs. Potter laughed.

"Don't encourage him, Arianna." Her husband said, rolling his eyes.

"David, you know you want to laugh." She replied cheekily. David smirked and pulled her close to him. She smirked back and leaned in….

"ARGH! MY VIRGIN EYES!" James shouted as he dragged his trunk to the door. His parents kissed anyway, and when they broke apart Mr. Potter muttered "I'll have to speak to Madison about teaching him those words." As James made retching noises in the background.

"I thought we were running late." James muttered as he walked through the door, his parents laughing as they followed him to where his sister stood waiting.
