AN: Hi this story was co-written with my sister Dathrian Princess. Since we both wrote it and she has gone under a new user name (Silver Sparklze) I figured I could post it on mine after all I wrote half of it. I hope you enjoy it and that you read some of my sister's stories. -Kassi

Love me, Love me not

Brrrrrrrrrrinnnnnnnng! Lily Evans rolled over & slammed her hand down on her alarm clock "shuddup" she mumbled.

"LILY!!!!! Are you up yet?" Lily's mother called up the stairs

"I'm up, I'm up!" Lily called back. "Can't I get any sleep??" she wondered out loud. Lily got up & went to have a shower. Then she walked into her room to get dressed. She looked at the clock on the dresser as she pulled on her favourite green cargo pants "SHIT I'm gonna be late for school!" Lily exclaimed, she pulled a t-shirt over her head & rushed down the stairs, grabbing a piece of toast, her bag and pecking her mother on the cheek as she ran out the door. Lily raced down the sidewalk & turned the corner. After she crossed the road, she ran into the schoolyard just as the bell rang for the start of class.

Lily hated school it was just one more reason for her mum to wake her up early as well as going shopping & any other thing that you had to get up early for.

Lily sauntered into class just as the teacher called her name on the roll

"Here" Lily replied

"Aaaaaaah so Lily Evans decided to show up to class today did she" the teacher said snidely

"Now of course I showed up Ms Shadbolt I just love school it's the highlight of my life so why wouldn't I show up?" Lily replied sarcastically.

"Detention for being rude & late go to the principles office right now Miss Evans" Ms Shadbolt yelled angrily.

"Yes ma'am!" Lily muttered as she walked out of the classroom. She passed the desk that her archenemies' James Potter, Sirius Black & Remus Lupin smirked at her as she walked past she gave them a glare & walked off to the principals office.

"Lily Evans what did you do this time?" asked the principal Miss Davies a few minutes later

"I was late & I was cheeky to the teacher." Lily said in a flat bored tone

"Miss Evans, what am I going to do with you? You have to think of your future you're very smart yet you don't seem to care..." The principle said, more to herself than to Lily.

"Why do YOU care?!" Lily yelled angrily.

"Now, now Lily lets not be rash about it. I'm just trying to tell you that you have a big future in store for you & you should stop walking around with your head in the clouds. Now I talked to your mother & we both decided that it would be best if you quit your after school activities & if you stopped going to these races & swimming events you are missing to much school & you aren't concentrating properly in class so we have fixed it up & we have gotten you a tutor for after school to help you catch up on your work." Miss Davies said with a wide smile. "Isn't that great??"

"GREAT??" Lily shrieked "GREAT? Sports are my life! Fuck school! Who cares about my future I REFUSE to co-operate for this tutor & I REFUSE to quit my after school activites! How DARE you butt in on my personal life! You have NO right to do that! I HATE YOU!!" Lily screamed angrily then she turned on her heel & stormed out of the office slamming the door behind her. Lily ran out of the office & onto the oval.

"I hate them!" Lily proclaimed walking around the oval eventually she sat down under a tall oak tree.

1 hour later the school bell rang for the start of recess & students pour out onto the oval Lily was still sitting under the tree lost in her thoughts when none other then James Potter, Sirius Black & Remus Lupin walked over to her.

"What do you want Potter?" Lily asked spitting out the last word angrily.

"Oh just wanted to see what you were sulking about this time" James sneered.

"I'm sulking because the principal informed that I have to live on the same planet as you three." Lily retorted angrily.

"You couldn't be anywhere near as angry as I am about it!"

"God Potter wake up to yourself when are you gonna stop being such an insufferable git!"

"Ummmmmmm let me see how about when you stop being such a stuck up ho."

"I HATE you potter! I wish that, that your bag would just incinerate!" & with that all three boys bags caught alight & Lily got up & stormed off smirking leaving the three boys to put out there bags.

That night she was upstairs listening to her radio after having a big fight with her mother.

Lily walked over to her window & opened it to let some fresh air in. Just as she opened it an owl came swooping through the window & dropped a letter on her head after it perched itself on her bedpost. Lily glared at the owl & picked up the letter whilst muttering something that sounded like

"Stupid bird...bad aim...hit on the head...letter"

She turned the letter over to read who it was to. Lily gasped at what was written on the front:

Miss Lily Evans

10 Privet drive

1st bedroom on the right

Surrey Little Whinging

She turned the letter over to find that it was sealed with wax & imprinted into it was an H surrounded by a lion, a snake, a badger & was that a raven? She broke the seal as she opened the letter she pulled the letter out. That's strange she thought who writes on parchment these days? She skimmed through the letter & gasped again the letter said:

HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore

(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorcerer, Chief Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confederation of Wizards

Dear Miss Evans,

We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed list of necessary books and equipment.

Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July

Yours Sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress

Lily blinked & re-read the letter after she was convinced that it was real she ran out of her bedroom and down the hallway. Her older sister Petunia poked her head out of her room, as Lily thundered past,

"Where's the fire, freak?" Petunia asked. Lily smirked at her,

"Better be careful, Petty, I'm a witch. Insult me too much, and I might turn you into a toad." She tilted her head to the side, thinking, "But then, why bother? Wouldn't make much of a difference." She laughed cynically at Petunia's outraged shriek, and kept going. "MUM! MUM! MUUUUUMMMMM!"

"I'm right here Lily, no need to shout." Her mother, Carlotta Evans said crossly.

Carlotta Evans, unlike her Christian name implied, was not Spanish, but Scottish-African. Her father had named her for his first love, and maybe that was the reason for her dark eyes and temper. It might also be the reason for her creamy café latte complexion, which she sported proudly. Lily had taken after her in the shape of her eyes, which were quite big, and in the colour of her hair. Although, the hair might also be the reason for Carlotta's temper. Lily did not have Carlotta's skin colour, but she did have it's softness and clearness, both of which made both mother and daughter the envy of their school friends and foes alike. Neither ever gained weight either, in fact, they were slightly leaning towards skinny. Carlotta, had, of course, filled out, being a mother and past puberty had that effect on you. But Lily hadn't hit puberty yet, so she was a tall skinny girl.

Scot Evans had the red hair, green eyes and blustery ness of your average Scotsman. He was a squib, and an only child. Lily had inherited her love of books and all things artistic (that includes music) from him. She'd also inherited his eyes. She had her occasional game of football with her father (soccer), but was actually more interested in basketball, which was a game her mother shone in. As you can tell, their whole family was quite athletic, with the exception of Petunia, who, unlike Lily, lived up to her name of a delicate flower, although she was no-where near as pretty as her namesake.

Well, Lily thought, She isn't really a 'delicate' flower, but she sure is a prissy girly girl. Thank god I'm not like that. I dunno what Dad and Mum'd do if they had no-one to play sports with, after all Mum hates footy, and Dad hates basketball. Besides, who cares about clothes and make-up and all that crap. Sport is so much more fun.

"Mum! Guess what! I'm a witch! I got a letter from this school called Hogwarts! I need to send them a letter acknowledging I got their's before next Monday! Wait'll I tell Dad!" Her mother looked worried.

"Um, ok dear, that's wonderful. I'm very proud of you. But I'm not sure you should tell Scot. At least, not yet. Let me talk to him first."

Lily was puzzled Why shouldn't I tell Dad? I tell him everything. Oh well, I'm sure Mum has a good reason, and maybe this will help towards the ungrounding. I really wanted to go biking this weekend.

"Ok Mum." She said cheerfully, and skipped up to her room, to do something she hardly ever did anymore, even though she enjoyed it, read a book. Lily picked up her copy of 101 pranks & lay down on her bed to read.
