First Kiss Chapter one. Trying to work up the nerve!

Chapter 79

Chapter 79

Lily was not very happy with the years that followed with the care her son. Harry received from her sister Petunia and evil husband Vernon, who seemed less than thrilled about taking care of her son and what was worse they hardly took care of him. Lily knew she would have many words for her sister when the time came. Lily ranted and screamed about her sister leaving him to sleep in the cupboard under the stairs, letting her only spoil son Dudley, bully and torment Harry endlessly.

“I can’t believe her, how could she be so cold, I was her sister, Harry is her nephew?” Lily glowered at her sister as she gave her son cookies and ignored Harry looking pleadingly up at her for a cookie.

“I can’t believe she could hate me so much, just because I’m a witch!” Lily had cried in James arms many times as she watched her older sister abuse her young son as he tried to grow up with his kind loving heart.

This was not the first time Lily had raged over her sisters’ treatment of their child. Now would it be the last time. Her parents were also upset with their daughter for taking such horrible care of her nephew.

Lily and James could not have been prouder though of their young son. He was definitely a kind hearted and loving boy who seemed to forgive them and forget the treatment he received from his aunt and uncle. Harry she was glad to see learn how to handle them very well even at an early age.

The two young parents glowed with pride as they watched their son’s magical ability shine out of him, despite her sister’s best efforts to squash it.

They laughed hysterically with glee when the pane of glass disappeared to allow the large snake, which talked to Harry leave while giving Dudley and his friend a hiss and snap of its large jaws.

“I can’t believe it, he’s a parcel mouth?” James said in wonderment.

Lily didn’t mind she was just proud to see her son getting the better of the horrible pig face boy. Her name for him was pig face. He may be her nephew but she was having a hard time liking him.

Lily did go into another rant when her son was locked under the stairs for a month, only let out to use the bathroom. The food he was given couldn’t pass as food in her mind.

She now had such a long list of grievances against her older sister; she thought she might have to start haunting her.

Both were proud to know that Harry didn’t mind ignoring their cruel rules for him and would sneak out at night to get some food.

“A chip off the old block.” James would say with a proud grin.

“You always did love breaking the rules.” Lily and James would laugh together as they enjoyed watching over their son Harry.

Lily and James did not only watch over their son, they had both gone many times to visit their best friend Sirius who was holding up well through the years of living at Azkaban. They had known he wouldn’t but hoped he would get a trial and be able to speak the truth. The problem was that no one alive knew that Peter was still alive and living at a wizard family home, pretending to be a pet, getting loved and well fed.

Lily wished she could pick him up by his bald tail and feed him to a large snake.

The other people they visited were Remus, Severus and Severus Evans.

Remus they were very sad to see was sinking deeper into poverty and he was looking much older than his time. James wanted to tell him they were fine and they knew he’d never betray them. Lupin though had hard times finding work, keeping it once it was found out about his condition. James would fume that people would judge him so harshly, just because he had suffered a werewolf bit as a child.
