What A Girl Wants

Chapter Eight-Hello, Harry

                                                Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter :)

          The following morning, Lily stirred awake in her slumber as beams of light coming in from behind the curtains kissed her face. As she laid in  bed, contemplating getting up, she couldn't help but hear two angelic voices speak softly, coming from the foot of the bed.

      "When do you think she is going to wake up?" Raelie whispered as she sat by Lily's feet, trying not to make too much noise.

      "I'm not sure, Seth is already awake and downstairs. Maybe we should wake her up?" Raelinn suggested as she scooted closer to Lily's head.

       "Rae don't you dare! She is obviously exhausted and from what Mummy and Daddy were talking about last night, she must go find her daddy today. So, keep quiet!" Raelie told the younger twin with a grim look on her face. Raelinn was more of the one to play jokes on people, whereas Raelie was always the one to keep her in line most times.    

     "But I'm bored!"

     "Too bad Raelinn. Come on, let her sleep just a bit longer." Raelie suggested as she stood up quietly and began walking towards the bedroom door as her sister walked sluggishly behind her.

    'Those girls are too adorable. I wish I had sisters like them when I was growing up, Seth is so lucky.' Lily thought to herself as she continued to lay in bed until she made sure the bedroom door was shut. She sat up in bed, stretched, and made her way into the bathroom to get ready for the day ahead of her.

    Thirty minutes later, Lily found herself in the dining room where everyone was gathered around for breakfast.

     "Well good morning there, sleepy head." Seth teased her as he looked up from his plate and gave her a smile.

     "Good morning everyone." Lily replied as she sat down next to Seth at the table.

    "Did you sleep alright, Lily?" Luna asked her as she brought her a plate of bacon, eggs, and toast and sat it in front of her.

   "Yes, ma'am I did, thank you." Lily told her as she gave her a warm smile. She picked up her fork and began to eat. She admired Seth's family tremendously. Never once has she met a family like his, granted she never had much of friends back home except for Candace and Oliver, but she loved his family nonetheless.

   "You're welcome, darling." Luna told her and then turned her attention to Ron. "Ronald, when are you planning on going over to Harry's?"

   "After breakfast. I figured we might as well get started early in the morning, rather than keep Lily waiting any longer. I think she has waited long enough." Ron said as he looked at Lily and smiled at her.

      "She's not the only one." Luna said as she gathered up the twins' dirty dishes from the table.    "Come on girls, let's go clean up the kitchen." She said to the twins who followed her into the kitchen.

    An hour later, they had apparated (much to Lily's discomfort) into Harry's driveway and Lily stopped short in breath. Harry lived in a two-story brick house, with black shutters around the windows and a chimney on top of the house. He wasn't one for lawn ornaments, unlike Luna, but he kept his grass well cut and tidy.

   "What's the plan, Dad?" Seth asked his father.

    "Well first, you and Lily are going to stay outside as I go in to talk to Harry. He knows I show up at any given moment anyway, since I am his best mate. Give me about five minutes and I will open the door after I tell Harry that I have a surprise waiting for him. That's when you and Lily walk towards the door. After that, well we will just see how Harry reacts." Ron told them as he apparated inside Harry's home.
