Chapter 1- Memory Lane
The day my life changed was the day I met Severus Snape. That was the day I became his best friend. I knew nothing then. Didn't know anything about who I was, only that I was different from my beloved sister, Petunia. I was only 11; what else would I do except embrace my differences? That's exactly what I did. Let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we?
In my first year at Hogwarts, I felt completely alone. I was a nerd, as I was continuously told. I was Muggleborn, which made me even more different. Tuney hated me; Severus was in the Slytherin house, while I was in Gryffindor. I became close friends with Hestia Jones and Alice Prewitt. But I didn't become friends with them until after Christmas.
The first night at school, a boy, named James Potter, asked me out. I thought he was just making fun of me. He didn't even know my name! I knew from that moment on, he was my new arch enemy. Although, I gotta admit, he is pretty cute…
My second, third, and fourth years were alright. I spent my summers outside with Sev. Petunia still hated my guts. Mum told me it was because she was jealous. I couldn't believe it. Why would Tuney be jealous of me?
When I got to my fifth year, I hated Potter more than ever. Especially after the episode with Sev. You all know about that, though, right? If not…Whatever. It doesn't really matter. After that day, Severus and I were no longer best friends. Hestia and I had been growing closer. She's my best friend now; Alice a close second. Oh! And, of course, I aced my O.W.L.s. How could I not have?I was completely surprised—"Lily, how could you have been? You're bloody brilliant!" "Shut up, Hest! I'm trying to tell my life story, here!" "Sorry…"—to find out that I was selected to be a Gryffindor Prefect, along with Remus Lupin, Potter's fellow Marauder. He's the smart one, though. Don't worry, Dumbledore's not that insane to make someone like Potter a Prefect!
My sixth year was basically the same as all the others. Hest came over for the last half of the summer. Nothing major went on, though. Just some rivalry between me and the Marauders, along with me and Severus. I am now fully licensed to aparate. Oh and I once again aced my exams. I think I want to become an Auror…
Ah, seventh year. I'm now 17, and a legal adult in the wizarding world. I am going back to Hogwarts in two days time, and have been informed that I am the new Head Girl! I wonder who is Head Boy…I think this is a good place to stop…
