Saying our Goodbyes
When my parents figured out I was friends with a muggle, they weren't all to happy. They didn't do anything about it though, turns out they just won't let me be friend's with muggle borns (Yeah, like that'll work). Or how they put it, "If you must, be friends with that muggle then I guess we will allow it until you go to Hogwarts. After that, you break all connections. But if you DARE befriend a mudblood at school, there will be consequences."
Whatever.
Lily and I became fast friends. We were pretty much inseparable through school, and we hung out after school a lot too. I told my parents that I was getting tutoring help in math and then went to the park to play football with Lily (who was now somewhat of a tomboy, thanks to me). She quickly ended up being more of a sister than a friend.
So needless to say when I got my letter to go to Hogwarts, I couldn't help but feel slightly… disappointed. I was going to have to leave Lily. I was going to have to leave my only friend, and I was going to have to leave my sister.
The day before I had to go, I had to tell Lily I was leaving. I meant to do it before hand, but.. I just couldn't do it. I'm sure I looked like a lost puppy as I trudged up to her door with my head hung and my arms crossed over my stomach. I sighed heavily and looked up at the door. I don't know how long I really stood there with my hand raised to knock, but it felt like years to me. I finally let my fist fall against the door, and knocked a few more times. After a few seconds of waiting, a horse-faced girl opened the door.
"Oh. It's you." She scowled at me.
"Yes, Petunia, always a pleasure. May I ask of the whereabouts of my dear Lily-flower?" I mock smiled and bowed at her. It's so much fun to annoy her. She hates me, calls me abnormal a lot.
She scowled again then slammed the door in my face. I heard her scream, "LILY!" and I waited.
Lily came down about a minute later and opened the door, she smiled but it wasn't her usual smile, "Hey, Sirius, what's up?"
I sighed again, "I need to talk to you…"
"What is it?"
"I… I have some bad news. I'm going to a boarding school this year and leaving tom-"
She cut me off, "YES!" and smiled, I gaped at her and she ducked her head, "Sorry, I didn't mean it like that.. it's just that, well, I am too. I'm not the only one leaving… we aren't going to the same school I'm sure, but still!"
I smiled, "Yeah... I'll still miss you though."
Her smile faded a bit, "And I'll miss you more, but we can see each other again over the summer, and we can write."
I just looked down and tried to smile, "Yeah." I didn't have the heart to tell her that there was no way my parents were going to let me ever see her again.
"Sirius?" I looked up at her and met her eyes. "I'll miss you, brother." She stood on her tiptoes and hugged me, putting her chin on my shoulder.
"And you know I'll miss you, little sister." I pushed back the tears in my eyes, I couldn't believe this was it. I wrapped my arms around her and then let go. She let go too and looked up at me, tears welling up in her eyes also. I pushed a strand of hair off her face, and hugged her again, running one hand down the length of her hair (which was now much curlier and down past her shoulder blades).
"Lily! Have you packed yet?" Lily looked at her door and sighed.
"I've got to go, I guess."
"Alright."
She walked in her door and turned around, "Bye, Sirius."
"Bye, Lily-flower…"
She shut the door slowly and I walked away.
A/N: Um, this really isn't much longer isn't it? Oh well, I'm still writing. Just seemed like a good place to stop.
Please remember to review!
