A/N Hi. Here's an update. Hope you like it. I had major writers block so sorry about the extreme delay in updating...
Thank you to Guest (this is that update you asked for!) and xSiriuslyInsanex (new reviewer! :) thank you so much!)
Chapter Two- In Which Friends Are Made And People Are Observed
Remus apperates in a damp alleyway, and four year old Lily Evans frowned slightly. She really hated side along apparition...
"come along, Lillian. We're meeting the Weasleys." Remus tugged gently at her hand, and they made their way through the crowded streets of London.
Up ahead, Lily spotted a small group of red-haired people clustered outside a store. Why so much orange hair? She couldn't help but wonder this as Remus led her over to the group.
It was a plump woman, a small boy, a rather proud looking boy elder than Lily herself. Yet Lily could have sworn there had been more of them...
She turned slowly, as Remus had went to exchange greetings with the kind faced woman who was obviously the mother.
Lily smirked as she turned to see two boys behind her. They were virtually identical, for Lily could see the small differences between them.
One was slightly taller than the other, and didn't have quite as many freckles splattered across his nose like his brother. The one with less freckles was nearly an inch taller than his brother, and the other ones eyes seemed...a shade or so darker.
Smiling at them, Lily decided she liked these boys.
"Hullo, I'm Fred." The taller boys introduced himself.
The second introduced himself as George.
Lily made squinty eyes at them.
"you are tricking me." She huffed, folding her arms. The boys looked at her shocked. Her eyes flitted over the pair of them once more.
Yes...the tall one was George...
Hmm.
Lily decided she would think more about that later, as the one called Fred asked her incredulously,
"How ever-"
Then George finished,
"-did you know?"
Lily snorted, shrugged. Maybe she'd tell them another day...for now she only told them she could tell when one was being tricked, which of course we're not her exact words considering the fact they were four.
George's POV
George looked up to see a man with scratches on his face coming towards them. That must've been Remus Lupin, the bloke mum had been talking about.
But who was the girl with him?
George nudged Fred, who stuck the headless chocolate frog back in his pocket and turned to George.
"Look." George whispered.
"That must be Remus Lupin." Fred whispered back.
"Not him. The girl with him." George muttered.
Fred nodded in return and then whispered an idea that set a smile to George's face.
"Let's pretend to be each other."
So when the girl, who's name they learned was Lily from hearing the scratched bloke say it, turned to face them, George introduced himself as Fred and vice versa.
Then Lily made squinty eyes and said simply but forcefully,
"You're tricking me."
Fred seemed to find the situation funny, for a smirk appeared on his lips. He said nothing though.
Then Fred's split-second smirk slid into an open mouth, mirroring George's own face.
"How ever-" Fred began.
"-did you know?" George finished. Honestly, how could she have known? Their own mum couldn't remember who was who!
The small girl snorted and shrugged, pushing her dark red hair behind her ear as she said, "I'm smart so that makes me know when I'm being tricked." The boys followed, dumbfounded, as she made her way back to the group.
What did you think? By the way...if your reading this please review? Please?
I'm not going to be one of those people who says reviews=updates, but I do appreciate it!
Again I apologise for the long wait for this chapter, hopefully the next chapter will be up sooner. If you haven't guessed already, they were four in this chapter. Lily is older than Fred and George by one day (cookies if you guess her birthday! XD)
Review please! (And yes I know it's short. The next chapter will be longer, I promise)
