Chapter 1

"See you next summer!" Lily Evans yelled as she ran through the barrier between platforms nine and ten. Lily was so excited to be going back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for her sixth year. There she could do magic and wouldn't have to deal with her awful sister Petunia.

I immediately boarded the Hogwarts Express and started looking for my best friend Charlee Wood; she is a pure blood witch with straight black hair and sparkling blue eyes. And where Charlee is my other friends and roommates are bound to be. Their names are Roarie Branstone who is a half-blood witch with curly dark brown hair and light blue eyes and lastly Jaden Stewart a muggle born witch with short straight blond hair and honey brown eyes.

"Lily," said Charlee as she jumped up giving me a hug.

"How have you been?" I was just about to answer when the person that I least wanted to see opened the compartment door. James Potter.

"Lily," he asked?

"What Potter?" I snapped back bitterly. It was then that I caught his eyes and he looked nervous. Maybe it was because of our fight last year, but I was over that it didn't matter anymore.

"I was just wondering if I could have a word with you…. in private," he added quickly.

"Sure," I said as I slowly walked out of the compartment into the hall. After I shut the door James started talking quickly,

"Well, Remus has asked Dumbledore if he could step down and not be a prefect anymore because it has been hard to keep up with his studies. So Dumbledore has asked me to be the new sixth year Gryffindor prefect."

"Oh, all right," I said a little disappointed. I liked Remus he was a good friend and even though he was a marauder he was still kind and not at all big headed like James and Sirius. "Is that all," I asked really looking at him. Man, James looks great and did he get taller over the summer? Whoa! Stop right there!

"Um… What time is our meeting tonight? I sort of missed the briefing."

"6:20 tonight. Oh, have you by chance seen Oliver?" Oliver Diggory: head boy, Ravenclaw seeker and most important my boyfriend.

"You're still seeing that git?" James asked angrily.

"Yes, I happen to like him, a lot. So if you like me even just a little you'll be nice to him!"

"Lily, look I'm sorry about last year and I want to start over."

"Oh, Potter can't you see that doesn't matter anymore I've moved on and I just want you to except me and Oliver now."

"Alright," complied James.

"Lily!" When I turned around Oliver was walking down the hall towards me. "I've been looking for you."

"Hey," I said as I jumped into his arms. He is so good looking: light brown hair with honey brown eyes. Yes, he was almost perfect. The only bad part was that I didn't love him. I mean I like him a lot but there are no fireworks when we kiss, he isn't my one and true desire, he isn't the reason I breathe…. He just then tilted my head back and kissed me cutting off my train of thought.

"So how was your summer?" he asked pulling back.

I just don't get it what does bloody Diggory have that I don't? Yuck! They're kissing I have to leave now! I turned around and started walking back to my compartment when I saw Sirius, Remus, and Peter walk into the compartment that Lily just came out of; so naturally I followed them.

I walked into the compartment and Sirius was sitting next to Charlee, Lily's best friend, she was a pretty witch. I'll give her that but I prefer Lily always have and always will. Sirius was trying to flirt with her but I don't think that he'll stand a chance. Charlee is not dumb and everyone knows that Sirius Black has never had a girlfriend for more than a week, but what did I know she was laughing at whatever he was telling her. Remus was sitting across from them and was next to Roarie Branstone, Lily's other good friend, talking to her. It is my guess that he fancies her but will never admit it. And Peter is sitting on the other side of Remus and next to him is Jaden Stewart, another one of Lily's friends. They seemed to be blushing about something. I sat down next to Sirius.

"So how was Lily?" he asked quietly so only I could hear.

"Fine."

"Fine, what does that mean?"

"Just that FINE!" I shouted!

"Where is Lil, James?" Charlee learned over and asked.

"She's with Diggory."

"Oh! Sirius get out of my lap!"

"Why?"

"Because you are making me uncomfortable and no, I will not go out with you for the hundredth time."

"Why?"

"Because I know what you do."

"And what's that, love?" asked Sirius innocently.

"Don't call me that."

"Call you what, love?"

"Love."

"Sorry, but I can't help you there, love."

But as interesting as this conversation sounds I couldn't hear the rest because I was too bust thinking about Lily and how much I hated Diggory.
