Chapter 3: The Plan

James,
I can't live in this house anymore. I need to escape. Can you help me? I'm really thinking about coming to your house for the rest of the summer. I owe you that much. My own family forgot my birthday. But you….you remembered it. I've only known you from school and you remembered my birthday, but I've known my family my whole life and they forgot. Can you help me think of a plan to get away? Sincerely,
Lily

James read and reread the letter several times. He couldn't believe what he was reading. Never before had he seen, well in this case heard, Lily in such a depressed mood. He wanted to do everything he could to get Lily out of that environment. No one deserved to be treated that way. She has to leave tonight. I will write this letter and fly to Diagon Alley right after I send it. Things were hopefully going to get better before they got worse.

Dear Lily,
OF COURSE YOU CAN COME TO MY HOUSE FOR THE REST OF THE SUMMER! We need to get you out of that house right away. Now that you are of age, you can use magic to pack your things. Do you think that you will ever go back to that house? If no then pack everything. You can do this by shrinking everything so that it will fit into one trunk. Then, I will send the Night Bus to look for you. Just stand under the nearest street lamp and it will come to get you. When the driver asks you "Destination", say Diagon Alley. I will meet you in front of Flourish and Blotts. Then, we will stay the night in Diagon Alley. In the morning, I will have my parents came and get us. Leave tonight. See you soon.
Simply Yours, James

Soon after reading the letter, Lily packed her things and levitated them out her second story window to the ground, careful not to wake her family. She had also written them a goodbye letter.

To The Evans'
Lily Evans has ran away and wishes to be never found again. You have treated her like she was never there so she has made your dream a reality. No longer will you have to pretend that she isn't there.

It was a hard blow, but it was well deserved, Lily thought. She stuck the letter to the mirror in her room and created a rope with her wand. She slid down the rope and took a final look at that window. I'm moving on with my life and so can you. She picked up her things and went on to the nearest street light.


Hey Readers, Sorry that was a short one. I dont like to drag on and on with things so don't expect many long chapters unless they are worth while. Keep reviewing. Ink
