Chapter Eight: The trip
During the plane trip Lily and Raven spent most of their time either sleeping, talking, or eating. Petunia on the other hand was engrossed into a fashion magazine.
"Ooh I cant believe I am finally going to Italy. It's a shame that Simone coulnt come with us." Raven said to no one in particular."This has got to be the best birthday gift any one has given me." Raven turned her gaze away from the window an to the sleeping red head next to her. It was made obvious to Raven that Lily was sleeping. "I wonder what she is dreaming about." Raven said aloud as a grin appeared on Lily's face.
"Isnt this just beautiful ?" Mrs. Evans exclaimed as they entered the resort.
"Benvenuto al giardino del cielo, il mio nome รจ Giovani." An Italian man greeted them cheerfully.
" Oh we dont speak much Italian." Mrs. Evans said a bit embarressed.
"Oh that is okay." He said reassuringly with a heavy accent.
Raven lowered her sunglasses to check out a boy who she guessed was a guest.
"That would be Marco." Giovani pointed to the boy that Raven had her eyes fix on. He is the owner's son. Just turned thirteen yesterday." He winked at Raven who didnt notice, for she was keeping her eyes glued on Marco.
"Oh that's perfect, she just turned twelve a few weeks ago."
Raven who heard this conversation started to blush and for the first time since they got there turned her gaze from Marco to the floor.
"Puppy love, isnt that cute?" Petunia said quite loudly. Which effectively made Marco look in their direction.
"Good job."Lily mouthed to Petunia who smiled and went back to her magazine.
"So Raven where is this gift of mine that you had to give me when we came here." Lily said as they were unpacking and getting ready to go to their first massage.
"Oh here it is" Raven said, pulling out a small box.
"Wow its beautiful." Lily said while pulling out a silver charm bracelet. On it was half of a heart that had Lily's initials on it.
"Yea I have one too." Raven said showing her bracelet except hers had the letters 'R.J.P' on it.
"J?"
"Oh my middle name is Juliet." Raven said. "I didnt know if you had one so I just put 'L.E' on it.
"Oh thank you Rave." Lily hugged Raven.
"That's not it."
"Huh ?"
"The bracelet is magical. Once you put it on the only way that it can come off is if the friendship is over, and also if one friend is in trouble the other friends bracelet will start to get warm. It gets hotter depending on how much the friend is in trouble."
"Wow." was all Lily could say...
The rest of the girls weekend was spent getting facials, manicures, pedicures, different types of massages, and body wraps, and just having a good time.....
"Sirius Black I'm gonn kill you !" Twelve year old Lily Evans yelled at the top of her lungs as she stomped down the corridors of the Hogwarts Express. He had charmed her robes so that big letters flashed saying " I love Sirius" Every one began sticking their heads out of their compartments to see what the commotion is for.
