Welcome to the life of Lily Evans.
Again.
I just thought I'd fill you in on things that have been happening in my life.
Well, I left Hogwarts about a year ago. I graduated top of my class, and Head Girl. And I worked damn hard to get Head Girl.
Hogwarts was the best. Not necessarily the last year (do you know how hard NEWTs are?) but… Well, I had a blast there.
My sixth year was quite memorable. That was the year this group of boys called the Marauders actually realised I was living. Now, normally, this wouldn't excite me in the least. But they were in the year above me, and. . . What can I say? They impressed me.
Especially one of them. At first, anyway.
Sirius Black.
We went out, I thought I was in love with him and blah, blah, blah. . .
And then he blew me off for no reason. Ptsh.
But I got over it. As they say, young hearts heal fast.
After that, I became friends with his best friend James Potter, who my best friend, Tess, just happened to be head over heels for.
So, naturally, it was then I realised I really liked James too.
But, I don't know. . . My mind played tricks of me. I thought James was interested in Tess, and then this horribly annoying (but who actually turned out to be quite nice) girl named Lorredana. Don't even ask me her second name. Lorredana's hard enough to say as it is.
But I'm off the point. The fact is, after I found out with a brief romance with some random Slytherin guy (and a whole whirlwind of tangled love triangles), James actually liked me.
Woo. Go me.
Tess was heartbroken when we got together, of course, but got over it after I got upset over something or another this bloke Severus Snape had pulled.
Ah. Snape. He was actually my tutor at one point. James insisted Severus fancied me, but that I never found out for sure.
And then. . . James and the Marauders left.
So the seventh year was quite quiet.
Extremely quiet, actually, in comparison to my other years at school, when they had been around.
James, after declaring his love for me, disappeared off the face of the earth.
Okay, maybe it wasn't that dramatic.
Things just sort of. . . fizzled out. We never saw each other. So. . . Hmm. That ended.
Now I'm sort of seeing this boy Ryan. But. . . he's a muggle. It's difficult. And sort of boring, to be completely honest.
And, to bring you up to date, I have decided to be an Auror. I took a year out after school, just for a break. But that's about to end. I have three luxurious weeks before my training starts.
And two of those weeks are going to be spent on a sandy beach somewhere hot and sunny. . .
