Dear Readers,
Thank you for clicking on this story! I really appreciate it! This is my first ever fanfic so please load on the reviews with extra criticism. I am planning on extending this into a series of drabbles (approx 8 of them). Please let me know if there needs to be more interaction. I really just wanted this to be a set-up/pre-lude for the later additions. I promise my future Author's Notes will not be this lengthy.
Love,
Scribbles
PS: I own nothing. ALL HARRY POTTER RELATED CONTENT BELONGS TO THE AMAZING JK ROWLING.
One.
Lily Evans was a characteristically independent girl; however, as she tepidly walked into the Great Hall of the prestigious Hogwarts Academy for Witchcraft and Wizardry, she hardly felt any courage or bravery. Instead, our dear Lily was overcome with a sudden bout of nausea and anxiety.
On the other side of the group of first-years was James Potter, who had overcome being baffled by Hogwarts by becoming awestruck at the sight of the beautiful Lily Evans. However, he did not know that she was named Lily Evans, so as he thought up ways to introduce himself, he started calling her Beauty. Later, he would have an incredible amount of trouble sleeping, knowing that Lily was quite as beautiful as her name and that they would be in the same house for the next seven years.
The sorting house called up Lily Evans and contemplated placing her in Slytherin because of her ability to slip out of difficult situations at home between Petunia and her clique. It also considered placing her in Hufflepuff due to her present shyness. Ravenclaw also seemed like a wonderful option as this young lady possessed the capability to be incredibly brilliant. However, after receiving a knowing glance from Headmaster Dumbledore, he placed the petite red-head into Gryffindor, wondering if the Great Wizard had lost his head. "Perhaps it is all of that hair in his beard," the hat thought to itself.
James Potter, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin were also placed in Gryffindor. These soon to-be trouble makers had just met on the train and had instantly felt a strong connection. No one could explain how they went from strangers to brothers in the matter of a train ride, but that is something that can be examined later.
A one Severus Snape, soon to be known as Snivellus, also caught sight of Lily's striking fiery curls and inherent grace. He knew better than to approach the girl in public, as a childhood of harassment had clearly taught him that his place was in the shadows. Poor Snape.
