A/N: Hi guys! This is my first attempt at a story on Fanfiction! I apologize in advance if my grammar isn't on par with some people. I already wrote the first three chapters, and if you guys seem to like it, I'll post some more! I've always been a HUGE fan of L/J fanfictions, and the couple itself... so I decided to create one myself, so I'd be satisfied with the ending. Enjoy! Oh, and I'd appreciate it if anybody reviewed!
Chapter 1
Lily Evans crawled out of bed and groaned. Another two weeks and summer would be over.
Forgetting to brush the mess of her dark red hair, she trudged downstairs and greeted her mom. "Good morning mum," she said sleepily.
"Good morning Lily!" Amelia Evans replied. Sitting next to her was Petunia, Lily's sister, who barely even acknowledged her existence.
"Morning Tuney," Lily said.
Petunia, who was sipping her coffee while completing out a crossword puzzle ignored her.
Their relationship hasn't gotten better at all. Petunia would always look at Lily like she was some piece of dirt on her shoe. The word "Lily" had been eliminated from her mind, and replaced with the word "Freak."
During Lily's sixth year, Petunia had met somebody named Vernon Dursley, a large beefy man with a humongous mustache. They have been inseparable ever since, and the only person Petunia seems to care for is Vernon. A month ago, Vernon finally decided to meet the parents and the "freak sister".
After he had left, she had heard her mom pacing around the kitchen, muttering "This bloke has absolutely no manners!". And it was true. Vernon didn't acknowledge Petunia's parents, and spent most of the time avoiding Lily's gaze, because she was "dangerous to people."
"Oh Mum! Vernon wants me to meet his parents today at nine! I need to get going!" Not even caring about her mum's protests, Petunia grabbed her cloak Vernon had given her for her birthday and ran out the front door.
Lily rolled her eyes and poured some cereal. Suddenly, her owl Lucky zoomed into the room, twittering excitedly. She peered at the letter, and was delighted to see it was addressed to her.
She gingerly took the envelope and opened it.
HOGWARTS SCHOOL
of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock,
Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)
Dear Ms. Evans,
We offer you our utmost congratulations of becoming Head Girl. Please go to the Prefects' Compartment as soon as you board the train to meet your Head Boy and go over some rules to the Prefects.
Since you are Head Girl, here are some new changes:
1) There is no curfew, since you have to patrol the halls for any rule breakers.
2) Head Girl and Head Boy have new rooms, and there will be a "Common Room" connected so they can discuss anything they need to do.
This title is not to be taken lightly. We all hope you will be successful, and as always enjoy the last days of summer.
Enclosed in the envelope is your badge. This should be worn at all times.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress
Lily stared at the letter, reading it over and over again, trying to digest the information. She had gotten Head Girl!
She ran over to her mum. "Mum! I got Head Girl!"
"Congratulations! I knew you could do it! Who's the Head Boy?" she asked curiously.
Lily shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe Remus. At least, I hope it's Remus."
The next two weeks flew by in a blur. As Lily bid goodbye to her parents, she ran into her best friend, Hestia Jones.
"Lily!" she shrieked. "Merlin, you gave me a fright!" She scanned her up and down, and gasped in delight. "Goodness, you made Head Girl!" she said, pointing to the badge on her robes. "Congratulations! Who's the lucky Head Boy?"
"I'm hoping it's Remus."
"Speaking of Remus," Hestia gestured over there, pointing to the group of four boys, otherwise known as the Mauraders.
Hestia practically swooned when she saw Sirius. "Gosh, isn't he so handsome?" she sighed.
Lily shrugged. "He's alright."
Hestia rolled her eyes. "Isn't it such a coincidence that the three most attractive boys in school are best mates?"
Lily laughed. "Poor Peter." She walked towards the group and greeted Remus.
"Lily!" he smiled. "How was your summer? Oh! Congratulations of becoming Head Girl!"
"Thanks," she said. She felt her stomach drop. Remus was not Head Boy. "Hey, do you know who Head Boy is?"
"Yeah, it's J-" before he could finish, Remus got interrupted by another voice.
"Evans!"
Lily visibly stiffened. "Potter," she said curtly, not bothering to look at him.
He obviously didn't get the hint that she didn't want to talk to him, because he continued, smirking. "So I heard that you made Head Girl. Congrats."
"Thank you," she said briskly, trying to talk to Remus about what they did during the summer.
"Oh Merlin! I have to go! I-I have to go the Prefect's compartment!" she grabbed her things and hurried off. "Catch up with you later!"
Remus grinned. "That means you too Prongs."
"Have fun with Evans," Sirius guffawed, sauntering off.
Lily burst into the compartment, breathless. She looked around, and saw the Prefects talking animatedly about their summer. "I'm so sorry," she breathed."I-I lost track of time. Forgive me."
The Prefects smiled and greeted Lily.
"Hey, who's the Head Boy?" a sixth year prefect named Amanda Higgons asked.
"Um, I don't-" Lily began.
"I am," a voice said.
Lily looked up, and saw a pair of amused hazel eyes, messy jet black hair, and a smirk on the boy's face. "Hello Evans. Fancy seeing you here."
"POTTER?" she shrieked.
A/N: Sorry if this chapter was a bit boring, I promise you the other chapters are a bit more exciting. This chapter pretty much needed to get the ball rolling. Also, Chapter 2 will be posted soon!
