Lily's Adventures

“AUGH! Lil stop that!”
“Oh come ON Tuney! I’m not hurting anybody!”
“But it scares me! What if you could do that…. To me? And it didn’t work and I was gone forever?” Petunia’s eyes filled with tears at the thought of dying.
“Oh Tuney, I’d never try it on you. You’re my sister.” Lily laughed her beautiful, musical laugh.
“Ouch!” Petunia picked up a heavy stick.
“Who’s that?” A small boy came out of the bushes, rubbing his head.
“You’re that boy from down the street. Mummy told me your family was weird.”
“Tuney! Mummy never said anything like that! You said that!”
“Hush Lily! I’m your older sister, I have to protect you!” The boy turned to Lily and held out a hand.
“I’m Severus. I’ve been watching you. You’re a witch.”
“That’s not very nice! Come on Lily, let’s go home!”
“No, I only meant that- you can do magic!” The boy exclaimed. He was practically jumping.
“Magic? But I thought-“
“That’s because you’re a mud- muggle born.”
“A what?”
“Muggle are what wizards call people who can’t do magic.”
“Oh.”
“Lily, please! Mummy won’t be happy if she knew that you were talking to him!”
“Petunia! Please, mummy never said anything bad about them! Just that they were a bit odd!” Petunia sat down on the swing and pouted.
