Lilly

Lily combed her long red hair and pulled on her gryfindor robes quickly. She ran down the stairs and into the kitchen where her parents and sister were eating breakfast.

" Oh Lily it's lovely " her Mother said softly as she walked in.

" Thanks Mum. I love these robes and the badge looks really well with them."

" Head Girl " said her dad. " I'm so proud."

She blushed. " Oh Stop Dad. You're embarrasing me."

" I think it's stupid " said a dark haired girl at the table.

" What's stupid Petunia?" asked her Mother.

" All these magical stuff " she replied hotly.

Lily smiled. " Dont get so angry. I'm only showing Mum and Dad my robes."

" My Robes " mimicked Petunia. " It's not fair. Mum and Dad give you all the attention you want."

" No they dont " said Lily. " As soon as I am gone to school. You have them to yourself for the whole year."

" Stop this nonsense Petunia " said her Father. " Lily has the right to show us her things. With being... what do you call us again Love?"

" Muggles Dad."

" Right ... with us being muggles. We cant get involved in any activities that magical ones do... so we try our best to take interest in this."

" You are always buying her new things all the time. Howcome I never get anything new?"

" Thats riddiculous " cried her Mother. " I bought you a new set of clothes just the other day."

" Lily got a bunch of new stuff for school " moaned Petunia.

Lily laughed. " Well unless your school allows an owl , broomstick and a cauldron on their premises. I doubt you can argue that Mum should have let you buy some."

Petunia scowled. " You are such a freak " she muttered.

Lily sighed and began packing her trunk.

" I hate telling my friends lies " said Petunia. " Oh the reason my sister isnt here is because she is gone to France to a boarding school. When really she's in another world attending a crack pot school with a bunch of freaks."

" MY FRIENDS ARE NOT FREAKS " cried Lily and she pointed her wand. Petunia squeeled and jumped back.

" Lily please " cried her Mother and she glared at Petunia.

Lily nodded and lowered her wand. " Sorry Mum."

" And what about that ignorent Potter boy. Yeuch what a freak."

" James is not a freak."

" He is " said Petunia. " And so ugly too , untidy black hair , glasses and an awful smile."

Mr Evans silenced Petunia. " I think James is a very nice young man Lily."

" Oh yes " said her Mother. " I think he's rather handsome dont you? and so charming."

Lily smiled. " Yes ... he is."

Petunia laughed. " Freaks the lot of them. Honestly Mother. How can you defend such an abnormal creature?"

Mrs Evans slapped Petunia and pressed her face against hers. " My Mother was a witch and so was my sister and I loved them both very dearly. Why cant you do the same?"

Lily looked away and smiled at her Father who took her hand.

" I'll want to finish my packing Dad. So that I wont have to rush tomorrow."

He nodded and looked at his wife. Her face was still hot and angry.

Petunia stepped up and walked from the table brushing past Lily.
