Just Another Lily And James FanFic.
Chapter Two: Petunia
Note: I do NOT own Harry Potter characters, nor his universe. J.K. Rowling does.
Of course the person she had to run into the hall with was Petunia. The horse-neck, attention-hogging, snotty, bratty, older sister, Petunia. Yes, they were related, no matter how much they denied it. The green-eyed girl looked up at her blue-eyed sister. She must have heard about me... Lily thought before she was interrupted.
"Well, if it isn't the witch," Petunia said, in her usual snotty voice.
"Real mature, Petunia. You should be thankful that you don't have to see my face everyday"
That comment didn't change Petunia one bit. She remained as stuck up as before. "And I also have a freak for a sister! How do you think I'm going to handle this with my friends?"
Typical, Lily thought to herself. Of course, she's just going to worry about herself.
"How do you think they'll react when they hear my sister's a freak!"
"Who said you had to tell them?" Lily asked, trying to keep her cool.
Petunia just glared her blue eyes at her and stormed into her room. Lily tried hard not to laugh at her, seeing that she always walked with her nose so high in the air. She just shook her head and walked down that hall to the kitchen.
"Hi Mum," she said as she sat down at the table for lunch.
"Oh, hello dear. You'll never guess what. Remember that old friend I was telling you about? Well I was just talking to her and she said that she would bring you to get you your school supplies. Isn't that just fantastic?" Her mother grinned as she talked and set out the sandwiches.
Lily nodded. "That's great."
"PETUNIA! LUNCH!" Her mother shouted to Petunia, then sighed. "That girl is going to be the death of me, I swear."
"Don't think that honey. Maybe she'll drive you crazy but she won't kill you." A man appeared behind the mother. He was tall with brown hair and green eyes. Signs of aging were starting to show on his forehead. Of course, it had to beher father. And apparently, that's were Lily got her eyes from.
Lily smiled and looked up at her father. "Hello Daddy."
"Hello sweetie," he smiled and kissed her on the head lightly.
"Why don't you tell your father what came in the mail?" Her mother asked with a voice full of delight.
Mr. Evans, her father, looked over at his youngest daughter as she told him. "I got a letter from Hogwarts. It said that I'm a witch. And Mum got one of her friends to bring me to go shopping for school supplies." She grinned as she spoke and her eyes shone happily.
"That's great sweetie," Mr. Evans said, excited. "Come to think of it,the best man from our wedding was a wizard. You remember him right, Alex? Russell?"
Alex, her mother, thought for a moment. "Oh, him. Yeah I remember him Karl. He was so excited." Her blue eyes twinkled with excitement from the memories.
"I think he works there. I'm not sure though," Karl shrugged and watched Petunia walk in. "Hello Petunia."
"Hello Father," she smiled and sat down as far away from Lily as possible.
"Have you heard about Lily?"
Petunia nodded, "naturally."
Lily watched her sister for a moment before picking up a turkey sandwich from her plate and taking a bite. She shrugged to herself as she placed her sandwich down. One of her pale hands reached over to the glass of water her mother had placed in front of her. Lily's eyes remained on Petunia and her father. Then, she looked over at her mother.
"When is your friend going to bring me to shop for school supplies?"
"Her name is Nancy, I'm sure she would like for you to call her that. And she said within the next week or so. Does that sound okay?"
Lily nodded, "that sounds fine." She smiled and gout of her seat when her lunch was gone. "I'm going to go over Rose's. Bye." She waved bye to her parents and ran out of the house.
It was a beautiful day outside. The sun was shinning and there was barely any clouds in the sky. Lily smiled brightly and walked across the street. Her auburn hair shined in the sun as she walked. Once she was at the Budds' door, she knocked. A moment or two later, the door opened, revealing a petite middle-aged woman with graying hair.
"Hello Lily. Rose isout back."
Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Budds."
"Your welcome Lily," Mrs. Budds smiled.
Lily nodded a goodbye to her, then headed out back. Her smile brightened as she saw her friends, Rose, Jamie, and Sunny. She watched them for a minute, then walked over to them.
"Hey guys," Lily called to them as she walked.
"Hey Lily," Rose smiled as she spoke.
"Hey Lil," Sunny chirped.
"Hey Tiger," Jamie said.
Once Lily was over to where they were sitting, she then saw down with them. In front of each of the girls, except Lily, were two pieces of parchment. Lily looked at the letters for a minute before realizing they were letters from Hogwarts.
"You're going to Hogwarts too?" Lily asked , and looked at each of them.
They all nodded, a shocked expression plastered over their face. They hadn't expected Lily to have gotten a letter from Hogwarts. They had all been Purebloods and knew that Lily was Muggle-born.
"You got a letter from Hogwarts?" Sunny asked in disbelief.
"Um... Yeah..." Lily said, a little nervous now.
"Sorry, I just wasn't expecting you to get one. I mean, you're family is all Muggles and all..." Sunny trailed off at Lily's confused expression.
"Muggles?"
"Non-magic folks."
"Oh..."
There was a minute of silence. No one was quite sure of what to say. After a bit, Jamie broke the silence.
"This is going to be awesome," she smirked. She smiled ear to ear as she looked at everyone.
"Imagine if we all got sorted into the same house, now that would be awesome."
Lily went along with them. Not really sure what "got sorted into the same house" meant. They dicussed different things about Hogwarts. Houses, students,and the teachers and adventures they would have. After a few hours, Lily's mother called saying that she had to come home. Lily said goodbye to each of the girls, depressed. Slowly, she mad her way across the street to her house. Dinner time, of course. Lily sighed softly as she walked into the house. She could smell the chicken roasting in the kitchen. A small smile crept over her face as she walked into the kitchen and dropped herself into a seat.
"Chicken?" She asked her mother.
"Yes, and green peas and carrots." Her mother responded.
Lily scrunched her nose that the "carrots". She hadn't been much of a carrot fan, but her mother still made them every dinner..
"I'm going to take a shower," Lily said as she stood up from her chair
"Okay dear," her mother said, still preoccupied with making dinner.
Lily watched her mother for a moment before walking out of the kitchen and up the stairs. She could hear her sister chatting away on the phone. Probably with that Vernon boy, she thought to herself. She hadn't like Vernon all that much, and she knew for sure that he definitely didn't like her at all. Lily walked over to Petunia's door and listened for a minute, before heading on to the bathroom. Good, she thought, empty. Lily walked in and closed the door behind her. When she was in the bathroom, she looked at herself in the mirror. Frizzy auburn hair, emerald eyes that were shaped like almonds, and fair skin with freckles plastered here and there. Personally, Lily never really like the way she looked. Though, she was thankful that she didn't have a long neck like Petunia. She laughed quietly to herself and got ready for her shower.
About a half an hour later, Lily walked out of the bathroom. She had a towel wrapped around her petite body. She walked across the hall to her bedroom and closed the door behind her. She carried herself over to her dresser and got out her pajamas, then quickly got dressed. As she walked out of her room, she quickly ran a brush through her hair. She got a glare from Petunia as she walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. Perfect timing, she thought to herself as she watched her mother set the table. Lily sat down at her usual seat and waited for the rest of the family to get there.
During dinner, Petunia sat as far away from Lily as far away from possible yet again. Their parents chatted happily about Lily being a witch. Other than that, there wasn't really much talking at the table. Lily and Petunia ate their dinner in silence as the listened to their parents. When dinner was done, Lily helped her mother with the dishes. Then, she headed off to bed. Lily fell asleep that night, thinking about all the adventures that were ahead for her.
