A/N: Hey readers thanks for the reviews, I hope more people start to review my story soon, I very much appreciate it! This chapter has some suspense at the end, and I won't upload another chapter until someone guesses right on who the boy is. Please R&R! P.S. Chapter 7 is already written, but like I said i won't post another chapter till someone guesses right!
P.S. Dear jumpernumbernine, I like how your story is coming along, and only those who truly love Lily, or are innocent enough to see it but not know what the healer jewel is, are able to see it.

Chapter 6- Fellowship of the Phoenix- Turner Manor, and a Sleepover
Lily had dialed her phone number automatically, to ask her parents if she could stay the night. However, Charlotte insisted she stayed the rest of the summer!
Lily asked her mum politely if she would mind if Lily left home a little earlier than expected. Her mother agreed, as long as Lily would come home to say god-bye, and everyone, including the Turners, were delighted to hear that Lily would be staying for the rest of the summer.
At The Evans Houseā¦
"Lily what are these?" Mrs. Evans asked as Lily presented her gifts to the family, before she would go to get her things. She did have to pack her new trunk early if she was going to stay at the Turners for the rest of the summer.
"This is for you and Father. They're never-melting ice creams, Chocolate mint for Father, because I know it's his favorite, and Triple Chocolate Deluxe for you because it's your favorite. Where's Petunia? I have a few trifles for her as well." Lily explained.
"She went to Georgina's house for the night. She was here earlier, and invited her over when she heard you were leaving for the Turners. But I'll get them to her when she comes back, have fun darling don't worry about us, and write us as soon as you get there. Remember, we only get progress reports for a few weeks once school starts, so you better get used to writing while you can." And her mother gave her a big hug, drying tears from her eyes.
Mrs. Turner, and Mrs. Evans, helped Lily pack a few things for school, and for at the Turners.
Her mother quickly ran into her room, and brought in a photo of Lily, Petunia and their parents when they were little.
"Don't forget us." She cried,
Lily hugged her mother, "I never will."
Lily hugged her father and mother one more time, before leaving with Mrs. Turner to the car where the others were waiting.
"Your family seems nice Lily." Maggie complimented, as Lily climbed into the back seat with Charlotte, and Maggie.
Lily looked out the window at her home. "Yeah, they are."

All Lily could do was stare, wide-mouthed, as the car passed onto a street named 15th Glista Lane, with very fancy houses, nearly a half-mile apart.
Maggie and Charlotte could only smile as they watched their new friend smile in amazement.
"We're here!" Mrs. Turner called as she climbed out of the car. A young boy was running down the front stairs of the Turners absolutely regal house. A man with curly brown hair, just like Scottie, and blue eyes also was walking down towards the group. This, Lily assumed was Mr. Turner.
"Emmitt!" Mrs. Turner squealed as the young boy jumped into his mother's arms.
"Hey mum!" He answered, "Did you save me a cauldron cake like you promised?" Emmitt inquired politely.
Mrs. Turner picked up the bag from Mistress Maple's and handed him a strawberry iced cauldron cake with a cocktail cherry on the top.
He squealed in delight, and hugged his mother once again, practically jumping from side-to-side.
"Willam!" Mrs. Turner said again as she greeted her husbund.
He hugged, and kissed her quick, and asked
"Who is this?" gesturing to Lily.
Charlotte however gave the answer, wrapping an arm around Lily's shoulders. "Dad, remember how I've been talking so much about the new girl Lily? Well of course you do, but anyway, this is the new girl. This is Lily Evans! One of my new best friends who I will be spending the rest of the summer with! Besides Maggie of course!" And Maggie came over, and swung her arm around Charlotte.
Mr. Turner laughed, "Then it's nice to meet you Lily, and hopefully you'll be someone like Maggie, so you can help her watch Lottie here, while she's at Hogwarts."
Lily shook his hand, "I hope I am sir, if that's what you want me to do, but she'll always be my friend too."
"Good." he said. " And please Lily call me Willam, sounds much better than the formal 'sir' or 'Mr. Turner', and you can call Lizzie here, Elizabeth. Now Lottie go show your friends to the room you'll be staying in together." Charlotte eagerly nodded,
"You mean the triple guest room, right?"
Willam nodded, and Charlotte screamed in pleasure.

Once again, Lily gazed in awe at the beautiful interior of the handsome house. Pictures moving all over the walls, welcoming her by order of Charlotte.
"Come on!" Charlotte shouted to Lily as they made their way up a wide stairway, with wonderfully carved railings.
Upstairs was even more amazing! Lily thought there must be at least twelve rooms on that level!
Charlotte walked to the first door on the right, and opened it to a beautiful mint green room. There were three beds. All made with comfy sheets on a bed that that rose to Lily's middle-waist, and a silk net surrounding it with small sequined sparkles sewed in.
Three dressers stood in a line on the left of the room, and a nightstand stood next to each bed. They all contained a small bouquet of flowers, a lamp, and a quill, with paper, and an inkbottle.
There was also a closed curtained window with two glass doors, leading out to a porch. Lily walked over to it, and turned to Charlotte.
"You can open it." Charlotte answered, walking over to her.
Lily grasped the silver handles for a moment, then swung the curtained glass doors open gently.
The porch was beautiful, with a reading seat, cushioned with mint green pillows. A dining table of smooth bamboo, and a chair swing, with a shade of silk and mint green cotton also sat on a corner of the long porch leading towards the side of the house.
What it looked out upon was prettier still. An elegant lake and pool glittered with the moon's reflection. And a small garden lay hidden under the shade of evergreen trees in the back.
Charlotte walked out with Lily and giggled, "It's pretty huh?"
"It's beautiful." Lily answered.
"The Potter's pitch is down that stone path, you can see the pitch if you look to your left." Charlotte pointed towards a vast green field with two sets of hoops at either end and a small set of Bleachers.
Maggie came out on the porch, "Hey girls I'm going to my house to ask for permission to stay. If I can I'll have to get a few things."
Lily got an idea, "Maggie if you can you'll need someone to help you bring them over. So could I come with you?"
"That's a great idea, I can introduce you to Aunt Ruby and Uncle Harold too. And what about James! We could totally throw him off by pretending you're me, and I'm you! He messes with me a lot so that's a good thing." Maggie laughed,
"Hey!" Charlotte whined, "I'm not about to miss the best James Potter flip-out of the year! I'm coming too!" she protested, and they all started down the stairs to Maggie's house.

Maggie' s house was a far enough distance even with the shortcut of a mosaic rock path, which swerved through a forest of bamboo stalks. However it was also genuinely gorgeous.
"I hope Sirius isn't here today." Maggie whispered, "He can be quite a pest sometimes."
"I found that out the hard way." Lily answered without warning.
"You've met Sirius Black?" Maggie looked really confused.
"I met up with him at Olivander's Wand Shop."
"Was he nice to you?" Maggie said, a slight edge in her voice.
"Umm- well he wasn't- I mean he was- but he messed around with me a little. He confused me for you, and when I told him I wasn't he wouldn't accept it, and- he was really convinced I was you." Lily stuttered.
Maggie looked mad. Not at Lily, but she must have been mad at Sirius. "He's such an- an- oh never mind. But I'm warning you now," She lightened up, "Always be on your guard." Maggie smiled, and the girls laughed.

"Maggie there you are! We were getting worried, it being complete sundown." Mrs. Potter hugged her niece in relief.
Mrs. Potter was a kind looking woman with jet-black hair, and sparkling blue eyes. She looked young, probably in her middle thirties. Her legs were short and skinny, but her body was long and thin. Her dimpled cheeks made her smile child-like, and her pink lips were soft and smooth.
"Now who are these ladies, I do know you Charlotte, Welcome! But who is your look-alike over here child?"
Lily smiled at Maggie who smiled back.
"Aunt Ruby this is Lily Evans. She's a new member of the wizarding world, and my newest friend, she'll be spending the rest of the summer with Charlotte's family."
Mrs. Potter smiled, "Is she now? Well then it's wonderful to meet you dear! I hope you come over, and chat with Maggie and I, you'll have to come meet Mr. Potter too sometime. We could play a trick on him with you and Miss Maggie here, he loves a good joke! Plays a few on me sometimes, as of I'm not known to pick a fight about it."
Lily grinned, "I would be honored to join you with Maggie sometime, if it wouldn't be an problem for you. I very much admire your lovely home, perhaps a tour would be in store sometime?"
Mrs. Potter eagerly smiled, "Of course dear! You seem like a well-mannered young lady. Such polished vocabulary as well. Oh it's a pleasure!" and she wrapped Lily in a friendly hug.
"Ruby," Charlotte began.
"Yes doll?" She answered back,
"Could Maggie stay the night at our house? You see we're going to have a sleepover."
"If it's alright with your mum, and Maggie wants to go she has my permission. But you all have to promise to come and have tea with me tomorrow." She giggled.
The three girls nodded, and they headed up to Maggie's room.

"Maggie your room is beautiful!" Lily exclaimed as she looked around the baby blue room.
There was a bunk bed in one corner of the room with baby blue covers. A lit fireplace in another, a writing desk of light brown wood to match the wood of the bunk bed, and an open closet which contained a few hung clothes, albums, photo boxes, and a broomstick.
"Nice broom Maggie!" Charlotte squealed, "A Starlight 2000! Does it really have the best aerodynamics out of all brooms made so far?"
"Mm-hm." Maggie nodded. She was packing a few things in another crimson bag. "Maybe tomorrow we could play out on the pitch, give Lily a few flying lessons!"
"That would be great!" Lily screamed excitedly.
"Yeah, we could play three on three with Scottie, James, and Lydia!" Squealed Charlotte.
"I'll be there." Said a boy's voice.
