A/N: Sorry this is so unbelievably short, but I'm grounded from the computer and I had to bribe my sister to type this for me… So here it is!

Lily hated storms. She jumped as a huge lightning bolt pierced the sky. Thunder boomed loudly, the house shook, and Lily burrowed further under the covers.
She reached over and flicked on her bedside lamp. She sat up slowly and reached for her book Where was it?
As Lily remembered how she had left the book outside after her fight with Petunia, she panicked. That was a LIBRARY book, and a pretty expensive one at that.
Lily scurried out of bed and down the hall to the front door. She tried to open it slowly, but the wind caught it and the door slammed loudly into the wall.
Cold, hard rain pierced Lily's bare arms. She ducked outside and grabbed the book off the porch. Lily dived back inside and slammed the door behind her. She clutched the book to her chest and sighed.
"Aw, is wittle bwaby Lily afraid of a wittle bitty storm?"
Lily opened her eyes and glared at Petunia.
"I was just getting my book, Tuny." She said slowly, as if talking to a very slow three-year-old.
Petunia grabbed the book and held it up mockingly.
"Pride and Prejudice? Hm. Sounds-er-interesting."
She laughed and flipped threw the pages lazily.
Lily jumped up.
"Petunia! That's from the library! Don't wreck it, please, Tun-" she stopped suddenly, as Petunia had just pulled a thick, white envelope from between the pages.

James sighed. He had just listened to forty-three ministry employees fawn over how much he had grown. It wasn't even true. James was still short and skinny, just like he had always been. Just like Jackson had been. But James didn't want to think about Jack right now. He wasn't ready. Not yet.
James scanned the room for an escape. There! When he was sure his parents weren't looking, James crossed the room and ducked through a door. He ran down the hall and straight into-
"Bellatrix!"
A/N: No, I won't tell anybody who Jackson is. Not yet. You'll find out in about a month! Hahaha!
