The End of the Beginning

Chapter 1

According to many people, Lily Evans was beautiful. She had long red hair that bobbed up and down when she walked as well as stunning green almond shaped eyes. And, according to one boy in particular, though he never said it out loud (except to his closest friends), thought that when she smiled the world was brighter, and she was even more beautiful when she was mad. Most of the time, she was mad at him.

Lily Evans lay in her room on her bed staring up at the ceiling. She was trying to see how many shapes of animals she could see up there on the ceiling, but was currently out of luck and spots to look at. Lily, to none of her friends' surprise, had finished her summer work the first week home from school and was ready to go back. Not because her parents or neighbors were horrible to her, in fact, both her parents and neighbors were proud that she went to such a fine school (the neighbors were told that Lily went to a Fine Arts school in Sheffield). On the contrary, her sister was the major problem. Even when Lily was a little girl, her sister took to a disliking her. Though sometimes Lily would sit down and ponder why Petunia hated her so much, it always came down to one thing. Jealousy. When she was born, Petunia was upset because she was no longer an only child and Lily got most of the attention. Normally, at least until Lily was eleven, Petunia would cause occasional fights with Lily. But after Lily received her Hogwarts letter, life as Lily knew it got even worse when her sister was around. Petunia began to say crude things to her sister, ruin everything she could, and sometimes even hit her. In short, Petunia made her life a living hell.

It was the summer before Lily's seventh year at Hogwarts and she would have liked nothing more than to be at Hogwarts. To her, the halls, the classrooms, and even the smell of the castle itself was intoxicating.

"Two more days left." Lily mumbled to herself. Soon, it would be all over. Lily had already been to Diagon Alley (actually on countless occasions, mostly to just get out of the house) to get her supplies and robes, in fact, she had already read over most of the materials for the upcoming year.

Without taking her eyes off the ceiling, Lily reached with her hand over to her bed side table. As she touched the top of the table, her hand ran over a smooth piece of parchment that had been sitting there for some time now. She snatched it off and held it up so that she could look at the paper on an eye level. She smiled slightly as she read the sentences over and over again in her head. Every time she read it, she could feel her heart leap a little. After all, this paper was something she worked six full years for. Anyone who has put up with Potter for that many years should get this and the Noble Peace Prize! She thought.

Dear Miss Evans,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected for Head Girl in this upcoming year! Congratulations! When you arrive on the Hogwarts Express, you and the Head Boy are to brief the Prefects on the responsibilities and demands expected of them in the upcoming year. Best of wishes.

Sincerely,

Professor Dumbledore

Lily closed her eyes in satisfaction. Yes, she thought, this was going to be a good year. Even if Potter was there.
