A/N: This is a small story containing only 4 chapters on what the 4 seasons mean to Lily Evans some will contain more points in her life than others.
The first is Autumn
Home
I was scared, I was out of my comfort zone, and thrust into an environment that was as unreal to anyone who had just been pushed inside it. At 11 years old, I was going away, from my friends, family and those closest too me.
I was with many people who felt the same, who were in the same boat. Others weren't so much. But I could see past the menacing eyes of the purebloods, and into the blind fear that had been glazed over one too many times. They were as out of their comfort zone as much as I was, and weirdly that comforted me.
When I was younger my parents bubble wrapped into non-existence. I was forever one step behind my older sister Petunia. I didn't mind that though, I would happily follow her like a puppy dog, I adored my older sister as many younger sisters do; I just wished she showed me the same admiration and affection. However her love was never meant to be, to her I was a 'freak', because of one letter I had unintentionally received, I had become the person my sister would grow to loathe the most in the world.
Over the years I learnt to deal with Petunia's cold shoulder, and as a result Hogwarts grew on me. It became a new home in the autumn. The opening feast was like an annual re-opening, and I am pretty sure Hogwarts was the only school students actually enjoyed returning too.
I enjoyed the gushing wind whipping around the surrounding trees on the brink of exposure near the forbidden forest, they way the leaves rustled up into magical formations. The Scottish highlands even made rustling leaves a magical disguise to the events that carried on behind the wooden oak doors. When the leaves didn't rustle they crunched underfoot, and made a path to Hagrid's Hut.
Hagrid the half giant, whose beetle black eyes welcomed me year in year out, the same Hagrid who I used to help grow pumpkins, and once they were ready, I'd help get them ready for the feast on 31st of October.
Halloween was what I enjoyed most at Hogwarts.
A/N: Very short I know, and this is just of the top of my head, I'm hoping to update Lily's thoughts on winter next week!
