   Harry showed me his room. "Lily, the Dursleys hate magic. So could that be an empty threat?" Harry asked hopefully as I dumped my trunk in his room.

"Sorry bro. I'm going to meet Petunia, Vernon and Dudley." I said smiling at the look of horror on his face.

"Hi Vernon, Petunia. It's so nice to finally meet you." I said extending my hand out.

"Aren't you a witch like my boyfriend good sister?" Petunia spat.

"I am, but I rarely use magic outside of school." I explained smoothly. "Unless provoked." I added in an undertone.

I was able to persuade the Dursleys to let us attend their dinner meeting.

Vernons bosses took an interest in our story. "What happened to your parents?"

"They were killed when we were a year old." I answered.

"You took them in?" Mrs. Anderson asked impressed.

"Only my brother, i went under the care of my mothers eldest friend. Harry here always had to act like he didn't exist when Vernon has these  dinners." I said relishing the look of horror on their faces.

"Vernon, I demand this boy joins us every meal." Mr. Anderson boomed.

"That's easy to do." Vernon said through gritted teeth.

When the bosses turned their heads, I brandished my wand dangerously at the Dursleys who paled. I slipped it in my pocket before the guests could see what happened.

That night, Petunia locked me in the basement. "You can't sleep with your brother miss think your all that."

I took out my mirror to call Sirius. "Lily, is everything ok?!"

"Sirius I'm sorry promise or no promise I have to get out of here."

"You can't, I'm sorry Lily, but Harry might never trust you again. Just call me when it gets too much." Sirius said in a comforting voice.

"They told Harry Mum and Dad died in a car crash." I growled.

"What?!" Sirius asked outraged.

"Not only that, Petunia locked me in the basement." I snarled.

"Lily, enough. I'm coming to get you now. You shouldn't have to endure this." Sirius growled.

"I'll be leaving. Meet me at the end of Little Whinging as Padfoot. Please?" I asked unlocking the basement door.

"Leave a message for Harry telling him where you've gone." Sirius said turning off his mirror.

"I'm on it." I whispered casting my patronus to rouse my brother awake.

I shrunk my trunk and threw the Cloak over my body as I stowed into the night. I walked to the end to find a large black dog.

"Hello Padfoot." I smiled. He turned into Sirius. We took hands as we apperated to Grimmauld Place.
