Petunia's lies

The way it started- chap.2

Iknow I changed quite a few bits, and it's not the way I wished it would have happened in the books, just my version.

I would really appreciate it if you tell me what you think of my story, comment, vote, fan etc., you get me! ;)

I knew there was something weird about her, I just didn't know she was a-awitch.

We were in the garden, a few weeks ago, on the swings; when she suddenly jumped off while swinging. Only, she did not fall and brake a bone, instead, she flew gracefully to the grass. It looked so beautiful and peaceful; and yet, it freaked me out. She looked at me, smiling her brightest smile.

“Did you see that?” She asked me excitedly.

“Of course I saw that, you could have broken a bone!”

“Of course not, don’t worry Petunia; did you see the way I flew? I couldn’t have broken anything.” She said happily.

“How did you do that anyways?” I tried not to sound curious; but I really was.

“Um… I don’t really know, it kind of just… came to me, I guess.”

“Oh,ok. Anyways, let’s go home, it’s nearly dark.” I said, even though it was summer and only around three o’clock in the afternoon.

Lily followed me, puzzled.

We were in the garden, again. We were making flower necklaces. Of course, hers was the prettiest; but only because she had used roses and tulips, I, on the other hand only used daisies; I knew they were pretty plain, but that was why I chose them. For some reason, people do not pay any attention to plain things; whether they are object or living beings.

Then, she took a little bud from a daisy; and looked at it curiously.

“Why did you use daisies? You know there are plenty of roses here, they’re much prettier. And they smell nicer.” She sounded slightly confused.

“I know. I just felt like using daisies. There are more of them and we hardly ever use them. Might as well use them before they die.” I just hoped one day, someone would think the same thing when looking at me. Well, not ‘use’, just they’ll realise that there’s more to people than looks.

“Yeah, I guess you’re right.” Lily could be easily convinced.

Then, she put the bud in the middle of her palm and made it bloom. Un-bloom. Bloom.

“Petunia! Look at that!” She sounded very happy.

“Yes, I saw. Lily… I don’t know if you should continue doing all these weird things.”

She threw the now bloomed flower away.

That’s when the creepy boy started coming.

I could see him staring at us through a bush, his hair and clothes blending in the shade. He seemed to hesitate, but then, he came out. He was wearing clothes that seemed much too large for him, and he had slightly too long greasy black hair and eyes even darker than his hair. But then I remembered what I myself was thinking earlier. Don’t judge people by their looks. But I saw the glint in his eyes. He was looking at Lily…the only word to describe it was hungrily.

I got freaked out and told her we had to go home because Mum called us for dinner, even though it was only four o’clock in the afternoon.

Lily followed me, puzzled.

We were in her room; Mum had told us to tidy our rooms. I had tidied mines quite quickly; seeing as there wasn’t much to tidy. But hers was a mess. There were clothes, books and magazines sprawled on the floor. She really didn’t look like she wanted to tidy it up. She stomped her feet on the floor; and suddenly, her room was completely tidy. She looked as surprised as I was, but very pleased. Mum came and said:
