The Orphan
Chapter 1 (Lily POV)
Another year gone and I'm on the train again. Alice and Marilyn were playing exploding snaps and Melena was sleeping beside me. I was reading but i couldn't knowing that my home was slipping away. My name is Lily Evens and I'm an orphan and a witch.
They told me that my father was killed before i was born, they didn't know why so i never asked. My mother died giving birth to me. She had something called preeclampsia. She died two hours after i was born. I have a sister, but our aunt took her to live with her, and left me behind because she believed that i had killed my mother, her sister. My sister name is Petunia she was three years older than me.
I have been living in an orphanage since i was three days old. I'm the oldest child here and I've been here the longest. When i was 11 when a man named Albus Dumbledore came to talk to me. He told me that i was a witch. Or more importantly muggleborn. So ever year since then on September first i would go to King Cross Station. From there i would go though a magical border and get on platform 9 3/4. I would go on the Hogwarts Express and travail to school for a whole year then I would come back in the summer holidays.
This was my 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There they have 4 house which are like your family in your years. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. I'm a Gryffindor, I was stored into it when i was in my 1st year at Hogwarts. That were I meet my friends Alice, Marilyn, and Melena we all were stored into Gryffindor. They're my roommates and we all have had each others back since then. They don't know that I'm an orphan. They think i have a mum and dad and sister and that i live in London. I ever told anyone really that i was an orphan. Sure the teachers know but no one else.
So I'm 16 years old and my birthday is August 24th then I'll be a of age witch and I can do magic freely. But with me be a muggle orphan I'm going to have to wait till I'm 18 till i can leave the orphanage. I Finnish Hogwarts next year, but i have to wait till my 18th birthday till i can leave.
I've been saving up money since i was 10 years old. I work at a cafe everyday in the summer and it pays $10 an hour, I work 8-12 hours a day so i do have money to buy a flat. Plus the orphanage gives you $3000 to start when your 18. Plus my mum and dad have had money that they put away for my sister and I. That moneys in the bank and I don't know how much it is so i don't want to have nothing to pay the bills at the end of the day. Next summer I' going to start searching for for places to live. But for now this summer all I'm going to be doing is working and helping out at the orphanage all summer long. This is going to be fun.
"Lily are you okay, you've been staring at the floor for the pasted 15 min" Mar said. I looked up to see that her and Alice were done with there game.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Just thinking is all. I said.
"What about not thinking about Potter are we." said Alice with an evil smirk of hers.
"NO, why would i think about him." I said. Potter, James Potter was an arrogant toe rag. That been chasing me done since I was 11. Every day he would ask me out and everyday he would get shut down. Him and his little marauders friends are Evil.
"Sorry, Sorry I know but it just so fun to tease you though." Alice said
"Yeah whatever, when are we going to be there" I said
"Two hours i think but i could be wrong." she said. I grand two hours then i be leaving all the magic that is the wizarding world to me. Just then our compartment door open, and just as my day wasn't bad enough the marauders walk in the door.
"Well Hello my little pretty's" said Sirius. He went to sit beside Alice and Mar.
"Well bye Evil."I mutter under my breath. I hate them, I hate them, I hate them. The others walked into the compartment and sat on the floor but potter stayed standing in the doorway.
" What did you say Lily-flower" Sirius said I rolled my eyes. Why must he insist in calling me that.
"Nothing" I said under my breath.
" Are you sure you probably were saying something about how hot i am." He said.
"Not likely, and who the hell invited you in here." said Melena who had just woken up beside me and was looking at Sirius like she could kill me for waking her up
"No one we come and go as we please like always after 6 years you think you would have figure that out" said Peter who was on the ground in front of me his back against my seat.
"He's got that right plus we have 24/7 accesses to you girls for being the maraudetts." Sirius said
"No where are not that or any other name you want to give us." said Alice
"Whatever but you know you love us." he said while putting his arm around her scrum trying to get out.
"Whatever" she said once she got out of his grip. I chuckled thinking about how much i was going to miss this bin heads.
"WOW, did we just make Miss Lily Perfect Evens chuckle." said Peter who turned his whole body to look at me and at that time everyone was looking at me.
"Nip it, Wormtail." I said now i was getting mad they all were having fun, and enjoying this but i could feel everything slipping. There were Oooooo's from everyone.
"ouch a little harsh there Lily" said Remus who was looking at me shocked.
" Yeah well I'm not in the best of moods right now okay." I said I looked out the window just to see fields rolling by.
" Oh, yeah ummm sorry, I know your probably not all that happy to be spending a summer away for magic."he said in a sympathetic voice.
"Yes and no i guess it's a brake form school and from all your craziness but it also me living my home behind." i said still not looking at any one.
"Home is always were the heart is you know" said Potter we all looked at him like his head was just chopped off.
"Whoa, who are you and what did you do to my Prongs." said Sirius. Potter just rolled his eyes then looked at me. His eyes were so fulled with worry. I gave him a haft smiled then looked away. I went back to looking out the window but before that i took out my I-pod and listen to it the rest of the way back. Everyone just left me alone. No one new that in just a few hours i will be in a Orphanage. No one knew i was an orphan and hopefully know one will.
