Chapter Three – Goodbyes
On the day the Evans were leaving was a sad day indeed. Both Families promised each other to keep in touch, and to visit when they could. Veronica gave Rosaline her secret to making her famous honey chocolate chip cookies which was Lily's favorite and Rosaline gave Veronica her secret to making her chocolate cake which of course was James' favorite. "Okay, hurry everyone for one last picture of both families," said Jenny Marie Matthews, the next door neighbor of the Evans.
Both families gathered quickly, the parents together, Petunia to the side, and Lily and James up in front with big smiles on their faces. "Alright, everyone say cheese!" exclaimed Jenny, with her husband at her sight also with the Potter's camera at hand. "Cheese!" everyone called out as the cameras flashed their way. "Well, I guess this is good bye," said Daniel as he shook Mark's hand. "It was good meeting you all and becoming very good friends," said Mark.
Veronica, who was hugging Lily, looked up at Mark with a smile on her face. "Mark, you make it sound as if we will never see each other again!" she exclaimed. "Can we leave now!" yelled Petunia from the backseat of a car. No one paid Petunia much attention (then again who would). While all of this was happening, both Lily and James were sitting on the sidewalk together. "I'll miss you Jay," whispered Lily as she hugged him tightly. "I'll miss my Lily-flower too," answered James, as he hugged her back. "I don't think I'll ever have a best friend like you!" exclaimed Lily, letting him go.
"Me neither," answered James sadly. Lily looked at him quickly, with fear in her emerald eyes. "Please James, never forget me," she said. "Never, ever Lils, never," said James sounding shocked at the thought. "You promise!" she asked. James nodded his head as his answer. The Evans got in their car and drove off to the airport, leaving the Potters waving. "I promise Lily," whispered James as the car disappeared from view.
About a year later the Potters moved away and went to live in a wizardly neighborhood, they never heard from the Evans again. James kept the framed picture of him and Lily on his bed side table; he had found new friends where he lived. Until one day he just forgot about the pretty red headed girl's name. On every one of his birthdays his mother would make him his favorite chocolate cake.
The Evans during the entire time in Rome seemed like if they lived there their whole life. Young Lily made new friends and the only thing she remembered of the messy haired boy was her locket. The years went by for both families; The Potter's had a handsome sixteen-year-old son who went to Hogwarts and The Evans had a beautiful daughter sixteen, which went to a small wizardly school called L'scuola de Bello Magico.
11 years later
"Ciao Lilliana!" said one of the brunette girls, as others waved at the red head. "Arrivederci tutti," she answered. Lily was greeted by her mother at the door of her house. "Lily, sweetie your father has something important to say and is waiting for you," said Rosaline as she closed the door behind them. "Mum, what's so importante? "Lily said ending in Italian. Her mother looked at her; her mother hated it when she finished her sentences in Italian.
"Lily, you're here finally," said Mark Evans at the sight of his youngest daughter. "Daddy, what's the news?" she asked as she sat down. "Well, I been transferred to England," he said as if it were saying it was just a book. "What!" exclaimed Lily as she stood up. "He said that we are moving back to England, you freak!" said Petunia as she sat down. "Well if you didn't know Petunia, no one was talking to you!" yelled Lily to her sister.
"Lillian, Petunia stop this at once!" yelled Mark. Lily rolled her eyes at her dad before she sat down. "Since my job wants me to work in England, it means we are moving back and you, Lily, will move to Hogwarts to finish your schooling and that final we leave in a few days," said Mark before going upstairs. "Great now I have to leave my friends here and make new ones," thought Lily to herself.
In the last days Lily said good bye to her friends and was ready to go back to England. On Monday morning they went to the airport to take their fight to England, she hated the idea of leaving her school and her friends. Although her parents were happy to return to their country since it had been eleven years. Lily didn't know that she was in for an adventure of her life, and everything pointed to one person James Potter.
