Summary: Love thy family? Yeah right! Lily's Sister Petunia pushed her away, what happens when Petunia has to come to Hogwarts? And not mention Lily having to deal with one Mr. James Potter. Lily will be 'Stuck Screamin'
"Hey, Lily..." Said Lily Rosa-Anna Evan's best friend Lucy Janet Chase but Lily did not respond but sat on the couch in the Gryffindor common, silent, staring into the nothingness of the dull room. Lucy looked to the wall to which Lily stared. Then she looked back to her best friend and asked; "What's wrong Lil?" Lily pointed to a sign on the notice board and Lucy walked casually over there and read one of the new messages posted by the teachers.
Day of Celebration

Invitations have been sent and you will receive your parents reply on the board in no less then a few days. The school is welcoming to any non-magical people into our school.
Deputy Head, Professor McGonagall
Lucy looked at Lily and Lily was completely white in the face. Lily began to speak, almost insanely to Lucy quickly "My mum, dad and..." she looked to Lucy begging and sorrowfully "Sister is coming."
"Petunia... oh no" Lucy sat down and looked over to Lily, she patted her hand on Lily's slouching back and Lucy muttered quietly and comforting to her "It won't be that bad..." Lily's eyes widen and she stood up.
"IT WON'T BE THAT BAD! YOU HAVE MET MY SISTER!" Lily yelled to Lucy, this was true, once Lucy had come over Lily's house on the holidays and all the girls were in mortal hell. Petunia was always complaining that they were freaks, you get the idea. Lucy sighed as she got up and began to pace in front of the couch. Lily sat down and began to hyper-ventilate.
"Breathe Lil, Breathe" Lucy said to Lily sitting back down to Lily. She was beginning to get a headache from standing and sitting "Breathe" said Lucy.
"We will get though this with style and grace ok?" Lily nodded and looked as if she was going to be sick. Then Lily looked back to her with a raised eye-brow "Well… we will TRY to get though this with style and grace."
James Potter walked into the Common Room where the girls were. His black untidy hair, even untidier. Lily raised her nose to him, showing him that she was unimpressed, but soon she went back to being worried and white faced at the thought of her sister coming to see Hogwarts. He smiled to them as he walked past the sign but then ran back to see what it said. His face also went white and he sat stupidly on the couch next to the girls after reading it.
"Hi..." he said stupidly at the girls at he looked into space. "Oh my god..." Not much later, Sirius walked in and he looked at the notice. He looked as if he was about to scream and although James would not be at all surprised if he did.
Sirius sat down with James, Lily and Lucy. There they sat, two maunders, and two of the best student in the class. The only thing they had at all in common was the fact they were all frightened of seeing their families.
"Fam—families. Please tell me I read it wrong" Sirius muttered weakly, staring into air next Lily. "Tell me…" Lily muttered after him quietly and sadly, hardly making any sense.
"Don't worry... you're not the only one." He pointed towards a bunch of 1 – 4 years coming in, reading the message and running to their rooms.
"Someone is in trouble," said Lupin in a sing-song voice. Lily giggled. Why was she talking to these people? She knew why… she liked their leader (of sorts) James Potter. What a stupid last name Potter, oh so scary. Even though she thought it was stupid she still wrote 'Lily Potter' on the books no one saw her read.
How could she like him? He was a twit… an attituded twit! That is what he was… but why did she like him. This even confused her. She sighed as she looked at him. "What am I going to do…?"
"About your family?" Lucy asked raising a questioning eye brow. "Of—of course" Lily muttered back. "What else would I mean?" Lucy looked at James' worried and pale face and wink to Lily.
Lily raised her finger to her lips hastily and then looked back to the questioning glances of Remus and Sirius. She laughed nervously. 'Petunia… POTTER… and evil Lucy Chase. I hate my life' she thought weakly putting her face in her hands.
"You must really hate you sister" smiled Remus, nudging Sirius in the ribs as he began to laugh and speak. Of course Remus wouldn't allow him to let Lily know that they knew, because they had known for an extremely long time. James like her too, of course they were sworn to quietness, one thing Sirius certainly wasn't skilled at.
Well they would have to be skilled today, it was already 8:00 p.m. James, Sirius and Remus had been 'studying' with Jane Lanett. Of course this meant checking her out, but Lucy and Lily chose not to comment.
Lily, as per usual had been at the library actually studying and Lucy… was doing what Lucy doing best, swimming. Do by the lake, in the cold, in nothing but a bikini. Lily envied her, well after she stopped thought she was crazy. Lucy was a determent student and swimmer.
Lily barely found time to study. But, as she was still scared, frightened or just plain scared beyond wits by the face there was a very good chance her mother, father and big sister would be coming to the Hogwarts grounds, she had no time to worry about grades, classes, she just sat there mindless.
"Come on Lily. We'd better go to bed." Lucy muttered to Lily and merely nodded in reply and got up off the couch and walked to the Girls' Common Room with Lucy at side.
James sat in the common room, his friend beside him. Sirius sat on the arms of the chair sighing as he hit James over to head and he and Remus walked off to the Boys' Dorm. James looked at where they disappeared to and exclaimed "WHAT?"
