Lily's POV
I wake up in my bed smiling at the memory of yesterday's events. That was a lot of fun. I just wish I could do it again. I inhale sharply at the memory of the letter and the girl. This will all be over once I get rid of the b**ch. Now I don't swear, but when I do, then I'm really angry and you don't want to mess with me. I smile venomously back at the memory of her smirking at me. We'll see who'll be smirking soon. I'm actually scared of myself for a moment. I put on skinny jeans and a black and blue plaid shirt with a tank top underneath. I grab the note I got at Hogwarts and stuff it in the pocket of my jeans. I head downstairs to leave but my mom catches me by the arm. Why is she so annoying and clingy lately, it's getting on my nerves.
"Where do you think you're going young lady?"
"Outside." I say blankly at her.
"Where outside?"
"I don't know yet, I just wanna walk around."
"With whom at this time?" Now she's really getting on my nerves, I'm sick of lying to her and trying to act normal. I'm doing a good thing and I'm not hiding it.
"Alone. Because I'm 9 now and I'm old enough to walk in my own neighborhood and you know what else I'm old enough for?" She doesn't reply so I continue. "Being trusted to walk on my own by my parents. Dad can do it, its time you learn too."

She looks back at me with hurt and shock evident in her face and I don't even bother apologizing, I meant it, it's annoying. She opens her mouth to reply but when nothing cones out, she closes it. I shake off her arm with a pissed off look and walk past her to the door. The door almost opens when-

"You're not going anywhere until you have your breakfast."

It takes every muscle in my body to turn me around. My mom did get on my nerves and all but my dad having seen all that and never looking at me the same way again destroys my heart. Its one thing for mom to be mad at me but another for dad to be mad at me. Dad's never mad. When I succeed at turning around I face his extremely disappointed and tired (not physically, mentally) face and he doesn't even look me in the eye as he says:

"Eat. Then do whatever is so important for you that you had to speak to your mother that way."

Then turns around and leaves, my mother following him. I want to cry, the only thing worse than having a parent mad at you is having them disappointed, quiet and not being able to look you in the eye. I would cry if I didn't convince myself that once they understand  what happened after I solve this they won't be mad anymore, more like proud. My mom silently pours me cereal and gives me hot chocolate and walks out to go watch TV with dad before I get the chance to munbke a 'thanks'. I rush out the door before they see the tear managing to escape my eye which I furiously wipe away upon reaching the front garden. I know what to do now. I walk over to aunt Hermione's house and she opens the door after my three knocks.
"Lily? Hi honey, how are you? You look better already than the other day." I give her a small smile.
"Yeah, I feel a lot better too. Must be something I ate."
"Probably." There was an awkward silence so I break it.
"So um, is Hugo here? Its a nice weather and I felt like going bike riding, he can come too if he wants." I hope I sound normal like before.
"Y-yeah sure, just don't go off too far. Hugo? Honey, Lily's here!" I hear someone descend the stairs and he appears at the door. Aunt Hermione smiles and leaves leaving us to talk.

"Hi, wasn't expecting to see you here."

"Uh, yeah, hi, I um wanted to see if you wanted to go on a bike ride. It's a nice weather." He lifts an eyebrow but motions me to follow him as he unlocks the garage door.

Hey guys! So I decided that the story is getting a little too long and I guess, kinda boring. So I think there will be like 8 or so chapters to add. But I don't know how I'm going to leave Hugo and Lily's relationship. So, I don't know, if you want a sequel just about that or like a lot further in the future or something like that let me know and yeah, if I have the time I can make it! Let me know what you think of the length of this book and your thoughts on the next (possibly) one. All comments and votes are appreciated :)!
