I have actually nothing to say (how depressing) except enjoy the chap xxx
*The beginning of the end*
A long walk home
Lily woke up; it took her a moment to remember where she was. She yawned and rubbed her eyes, and looked around the room. She was in Alice's room, it was covered head to toe in baby pink, Lily sat up in her four poster bed and turned to look at Alice, who was hidden by the pillows that surrounded her. Lily took one of her many pillows and chucked it at Alice; it hit her square in the face. "URGH!" Alice cried "LILY!" whilst attempting to throw the pillow back but failing miserably.
Lily stood and jumped onto Alice's bed "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" she screamed.
"Stop! Stop! STOP!" Alice yelled whilst shoving Lily off the bed so that she landed on her arse. Lily roared with laughter "What's got you in a good mood?" Alice grumbled, throwing off her sheets. Lily laughed and dragged Alice out of bed. "Stop being so happy! It's creepy!" Lily only laughed and skipped merrily out the room.
Lily and Alice sat at the super long table in the dining room, both eating masses of pancakes.
"So what do you want to do today?" Alice asked whilst shovelling another mouthful of pancakes into her mouth.
"We could go to the cinema or something?" Lily answered
"Cinema?" Alice asked, frowning slightly "What's that?"
Lily sighed, she often forgot her friends grew up surrounded by magic "Let's get dressed and I'll show you"
An hour or so later Lily and Alice were standing in a little Muggle village outside of a cinema. "I have some Muggle money, so I'll pay and you can buy me something in Diagon Ally" Lily told Alice whilst dragging her into the cinema.
Lily scanned over what was playing before deciding they should she Greece (A/N yes I know it didn't come out till 1978 and this is 1976, but shh it doesn't matter)
Lily pulled Alice into the queue, whilst practically shouting how wonderful she thought Muggles were and how very creative. The people in the cinema were giving her very strange looks before Lily shut Alice up with a quick slap over the head.
"Next!" A harsh voice called, once again Lily dragged Alice, this time towards the ticket lady.
"Two tickets for the one o'clock viewing of Greece, please" Lily said politely.
"£10.20" said the plump lady with greying black hair, in a bored voice. She held out the ticket to Lily.
Lily took the ticket "Thank you" she said, the lady only sneered.
Lily and Alice both walked away "Well…she seemed…nice?" Alice said, unsure of what else to say. Lily snorted and handed Alice her ticket "What do I do with this?" Alice asked, staring at the ticket that she was continuously turning over.
Lily grabbed Alice's wrist to stop her from turning it again. "We have to show it to someone so that they know we've paid" Lily answered, before walking over to the snack bar. Alice followed.
Alice super-sized on everything; large popcorn, large nachos with extra cheese, large coke and a huge bag of pick n' mix. The two girls walked towards screen two carefully so they wouldn't drop any of the food.
After the film both girls burst into Alice's house singing at the top of their lungs "LOOK AT ME I'M SANDRA DEE LOUSY WITH VIRGINITY!"
Both girls instantly stopped singing when they heard laughter. Lily looked around to see to see Mrs Prewitt, Alice's mum, and another woman, she had auburn hair, nearly the same shade as Lily's, and kind hazel eyes. The eyes seemed awfully familiar, but Lily couldn't put her finger on where exactly she had seen them before.
"Hey mum, hey Dorea!" Alice said chirpily sitting next to her mother.
"Hi Sarah" Lily said to Alice's mum before turning to face the other woman, the lady with the painfully familiar eyes. "Hello" she said "I'm Lily"
"Ah, yes" Dorea, as Alice had called her, said knowingly "My son often speaks of you" she smiled kindly whilst Lily frowned slightly in confusion "I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself – I'm Dorea, Dorea Potter. You know my son James Potter, he certainly knows you"
"Oh, James. Yeah, I know him. Nice to meet you Mrs Potter" Lily said, somewhat dryly.
Dorea chuckled slightly by Lily's reaction. "Please, call me Dorea" Lily smiled, finally remembering where she had seen the eyes before; they were exactly James' eyes. Lily mentally shook her head, why did the thought of James' eyes make her smile?
Lily sat down next to Dorea "So where have you girls been? Sarah asked
"Lily took me to the cinema! It was awesome!" Alice squealed
"What is the cinema?" Dorea asked sounding confused
"Pictures with sound on a massive screen telling a story!" Alice sang. Dorea laughed as Alice began singing 'You're the one that I want'.
"As much as I love your singing, Al, shhh!" Dorea said and Lily and Sarah laughed.
The four girls stood for a few minutes before Sarah said "Now go, we need to gossip about you!" Alice huffed but got up and left, Lily followed.
As Lily followed Alice she thought, how could a bastard like James have such a lovely mum? Lily truly felt sorry for Dorea; trust her to get such an arsehole!
"Now!" Alice cried "I'm going to teach you to fly!"
"No! No!" Lily screamed "Remember when Marley tried to teach me?"
Alice laughed "You got suck in a tree!"
"Yeah, and I don't want a repeat!" Lily said frowning.
"Please" Alice pouted "I promise it won't happen…again" she said, trying to hide a smile.
"No, Alice! And don't give me that look! The answer is no!" Lily cried.
"Please!"
"You will never ever get me on a broom EVER!"
Ten minutes later Lily and Alice were standing in Alice's HUGE garden, both clutching nimbus 1901s, the best broom you could buy.
"Al, please don't make me do this!" Lily begged
"Oh, come on it'll be fun!" answered her friend
Lily sighed "Fine, let's get this over and down with"
"That's the sprit!" cheered Alice. Lily mounted the broom, Alice by her "Good, now kick off"
"What?"
"Kick off!" Lily kicked off; she instantly zoomed into the clear air. The wind rushed through her hair. Lily had never felt more free. "Lily! Lily! TURN!" Lily's head snapped up to see Alice's massive white house coming closer and closer and closer.
Lily jerked the broom to the right making it wobble, she straightened the broom out. Then shoot off again.
"STOP! LILY STOP!" Alice screamed
"I DON'T KNOW HOW!" Lily screamed back
"LIFT THE FRONT OF THE BROOM TOWARDS YOU!" Alice cried.
Lily lifted the front of the broom towards herself, in a quick jerky movement. Making her come to an abrupt stop, nearly bucking her off. Lily turned her head to see Alice skidding into a halt next to her. "Now slowly, and this time Lily make it slow and gentle, push the front down to the ground. When you're near the floor straighten it out. Okay?" Lily nodded not trusting herself to speak.
Slowly Lily pushed the handle down on the broom, but freaked out and pushed harder than she thought. "STRAIGHTEN OUT! STRAIGHTEN OUT!" Alice screamed. But Lily didn't have time to respond and landed in a lump on the green grass.
Alice jumped off her broom, laughing so hard she was crying. Through her tears Alice offered Lily a hand up, to which Lily completely ignored. Lily stood rubbing her arse where she had landed.
By the time Lily had successfully got up, Alice was laughing so hard she was nearly on the floor.
"Oh, shut up! I told you I couldn't do this!" snapped Lily
"Sorry, sorry! It's just so funny!" Alice laughed, not sounding the least bit sorry.
"It not funny!" Lily exclaimed, to which Alice only laughed harder. "Shut it!"
Alice was laughing uncontrollably by then, and Lily gave up. She looked up to see how far they had gone from the house. Lily was shocked to say the least; they had to be about a mile away. Lily sighed "We're gunna have to walk all that way!"
Alice looked up to see what Lily was looking at, the laughter fell from her face. "We could always fly" Alice said, sounding hopeful.
"No! No way!" Lily said, grabbing Alice's had and dragging her towards the house.
"I knew you were gunna say that" Alice grumbled.
When they finally returned Alice was in a foul mood. "I can't believe you made me walk back! I mean walking! Seriously? You know I can't even be bothered to walk to the common room most days and that's just down a flight of stairs!"
"Well I can't believe you forced me to go on a broom!"
"I can't believe you fell off!" Alice laughed, her bad mood vanishing instantaneously.
"Shut up! Shut up!" Lily laughed, hitting Alice's arm. "You wouldn't be laughing if it were you!"
"But it wasn't me! It was you!"
"So that makes it okay?"
"Yup!"
"I hate you!" Lily smiled
"I love you too" Alice laughed, as she flopped down on the sofa.
