"LILY ALICE WEASLEY!! GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!" My auntie shouted. Uh oh. Whoops, she must have found my dung bomb stash. Well, mustn't keep the lady waiting. I slid down the banister and went straight into....... You guessed it, auntie!! She glared at me as she stood up and dusted herself off. "What have I said about going down the staircase not the banister." She said exasperated. "To be a proper lady and to walk down the stairs and not slide down the stairs looking like a banshee and knock down the person at the bottom." I recited. "Exactly." Auntie said, happy with my answer. "But in all honesty, I'm not a proper lady and you really shouldn't stand at the bottom of the stairs considering I'm gonna keep doing it."

And with that I skipped away thinking I had got away with it. Oh boy i was wrong. "NOT YET MISSY WE STILL HAVE NOT TALKET ABOUT THE REASON I CALLED YOU DOWN." She shouted menacingly. I mean I love my aunt and all but boy is she scary. "Geeezzz woman if you keep screaming like that next door will think someone's being murdered." I muttered, to which I received a death glare.whoops. I think I might of made her angry.

"WHY DOES THE KITCHEN STINK OF DUNG BOMBS!!" "What do you mean??" And then I realised, I was hiding my secret stash in one of the cupboards. "Oh no." I wined, "they went off, I was saving them as well" then I realised my mistake. Auntie was in the room!! Uh oh. "You have three seconds to run before I murder you" and if she says run you run. "Ahhhhhhhhh" I yelled as I took off down one of the many hallways. I found the library and I suddenly remembered that secret passageway that led to the sweet shop in town. I don't think auntie knew about that. And since the food will smell for a while, a few sweets won't hurt. I went to the third book shelf and pulled out the wind in the willows and whispered "Dulcis." And the bookcases split to show a tunnel. Hearing my aunts footsteps coming closer I ran Into the passage and shut the bookcases. I had found this passage a few years ago and using my elemental powers I made a massive room at the start of it. It had lots of pillows and beanbags in the colour of the pastel colours, a couple of couches. An Easel that held my unfinished painting of this redhead young girl (picture above). I never knew what happens to my family except my aunt. So I liked to imagine what they would look like. My picture is of a beautiful girl that I would call Ginny. It probably isn't her real name (if she is even real) but I think it suits her. My aunt completely forgotten, I picked up the paintbrush and added a few streaks of paint and it was done. I looked at the clock above my fireplace and realised it had been 20 minutes. Standing up I walked over to the door, deciding that my aunt probably would have cooled down by now.

Going down to the kitchen I braced myself for the questioning that awaited me. "Lilly?" My auntie said in a calm voice. "Yeh" I answered hesitantly. Then the rant started, "Lily, where did you go, you could have got lost or hurt. I searched the whole house for you and was about to call the ministry-" I tuned out after that then I realised that she was looking at me expectantly as if she wanted me to say something. "Umm. What was the question again??" I asked.

She shook her head in exasperation. "You weren't listening to a word I said, were you?"
"Ummmm." I stalled taking my brain for an excuse. "Yes of course I was, why would you think otherwise?"
She sat down on the chair and sighed in exhaustion, "you will be the death of me... Now now, missy, what were those dung bombs doing in the kitchen? Hmmm?" She said wagging her finger. "Safe keeping? But you must admit that it was quite a good hiding spot. You didn't find it for months." I answered hesitantly. "I still haven't found it!! Where did you hide them??!!" She said sounding slightly crazy. Hehe, my aunt is Bellatrix Lestrange. Anyway, back on target. "You haven't found it yet? Well, in that case. I won't tell you so then I can use it in the future." She gave me a look that most would quiver under but I was used to but was still slightly scared of, "But I will get rid of the smell for you and will not hide dung bombs in there from now on." I bargained with her. She looked hesitant but finally nodded and walked off to who knows where. But suddenly she poked her head in and asked, "where were you anyway?" "Library, I answered. She looked confused before she shook her head at me and walked out the door.

Today was the day I was going to beauxbatons. I was sooo excited. According to my aunt it was an amazing school that would teach me to be a 'lady'. I scoffed at that. As if. Today is such a rush with me making sure I have all my pranking equipment as my auntie checked my school supplies.

Finally, after what felt like years later,we finally headed off to Paris and got to a garden full of fountains. To a niggles eye this would look like a regular garden of fountains but this was actually the entrance to Beauxbatons. I looked around frantically trying to find a entrance or something out of place but there was nothing and people were starting to stare. All the while auntie just looked at me in amusement. "Amused?" I asked, getting annoyed by her amused look. She answered but I didn't catch it as I was busy looking at the amazing fountain at the end of the park but all the muggles were walking straight around it. How did I not notice it. Suddenly my train of thought was broken by auntie.

"You found the entrance. You just jump straight through it and don't worry about the muggles they can't see the fountain. This is where I leave you I'm afraid. But you better owl me Lily Weasley or I will personally come to beauxbatons and kill you in your sleep." She threatened. "Ok auntie. It's not like I will forget about you." I replied. I could see tears well up in her eyes. Noooo, she better not cry, please don't cry. "Don't cry, I'll come back for holidays." I said trying to stop the tears running down her face. "I-I know." She sniffed and wiped her tearstained cheeks. "But I'll miss you Lily." She added after a couple of seconds. "I will too, but I must go now, auntie, or I will be late. Bye." I kissed her on the cheek and ran off towards the waterfall. "Have fun" came the reply. I smiled as I jumped into the fountain and ungraciously fell on my but in the middle of what looked like an entrance hall. I turned red and stood up as people started sniggering at me. "Well that was- AAGGGHHHH!!!" I yelled as something heavy landed on me. The whole hall broke out in laughter and I groaned as I realised that it was a young girl that had landed on me. I waited a couple of seconds before saying, "Can you please get off me. It is rather uncomfortable and the floor is cold." I wined. The hall broke out in laughter again and the girl quickly got of and offered a hand I excepted it and was pulled to my feet. I then got a proper look at her face and realised she was my age and very pretty. She had fair skin that was red. Probably from the incident earlier. She had blue eyes and a clear complexion. "Hey, girl who fell on me, what's ya name??" I asked in a weird voice causing people to chuckle. "Annabelle, yours?" She asked in the same voice causing me to chuckle. This was the start of a great friendship.
