^Living Proof^

If you think that Lily's life is great. You're wrong. Her life is nothing like you think it is. This story will show you how she dealt with it and how her friends slowly discovered the truth. It all started on the first day of Hogwarts.

'LILY! YOUR LATE!' her mother screamed to her from the bottom of the stairs. Her mother had been going through a lot of anger problems since she discovered that her daughter was a witch. Lily knew her mother would never approve, but how would shoe be able to tell her mom that she was going to live in school for a year.
'LILY! GET UP!' her mother yelled again.
'I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME, MOM!' Lily screamed at her mother from her room. Lily's auburn hair was very long and messy, well at this point anyways. She wiped her emerald eyes and stretched her arms in the air. Lily quickly had a shower and raced downstairs. She was ready to go within 20 minutes.
'Come on, let's go before you're late.' Her mother was rushing around the house, piling Lily's stuff into the car. Once Lily had found all her stuff, she also piled herself into the car and waited for her mother.

About 20 minutes later, Lily's mother was helping Lily unpack her stuff and load them onto the trolley. Once her mother had walked her to the barrier, Lily passed through the barrier without saying a word. Ever since her mother and father had divorced, her and her mother had never really had a decent conversation. Her father was now living a happier, healthier life in England. Her mother still lived in London with Petunia and Lily, but since Petunia was older, and not a witch, Petunia and her mother got along very well. But Lily didn't mind. Lily was always closer with her father anyways. With her going away, with out her father, and anyone she knew, it was hard for her. She quickly loaded the train, and found an empty compartment.

It wasn't long before she had actually talked to someone. 'Hey, is this spot taken?' and young girl asked into Lily's compartment. 'Uh, no, take a seat.' Lily replied shyly. 'Thanks' she said happily. Before the train had started a few people had come on and off the train. Many of those people looking for a compartment that was empty. Lily and the other girl kept quiet until 3 boys entered the compartment. Of course, Lily didn't want to sit by them so she went and sat down beside the other girl.
'Hi, im Lily.' Lily said shyly. Lily was never good at introducing herself to new people.
'Hi, im Arabella, but people call me Bella for short.' She said happily. Lily smiled at Bella, and I guess you could say that Lily knew that they were going to be friends for a long time.
'Wow, that's a cool name. Im named after a flower!' Lily said sarcastically, which made Bella burst out laughing, and she was laughing so hard that Lily started laughing too. Unfortunately the boys had been listening to their conversation and started to mock them.
"Hi, im Lily!!" mocked Sirius.
"Hi, im Arabella, but you can call me Bella for short!!" mocked James
"Ooooh, what a cool name, Im named after a flower!!" mocked Sirius again. Both boys began to laugh hysterically, which left the 3rd boy in little fits of laughter. Lily and Bella were both speechless. Lily looked like she was on the verge of tears, but luckily Bella was able to stand up and slap both of them in the face, leaving one giant hand mark on each of their cheeks. All 3 of the boys stopped laughing. Lily felt a little scared having a new friend of hers slap someone, right in front of her, which made her feel scared. She just sat there all alone in a corner, with tears running down her eyes; everything looked still.
