DISCLAIMER i own nothing you cannot recognize. they belong to JKR
It was mid afternoon and a young red head was sitting in her backyard very much involved in an ancient looking book as she twiddled a wooden stick through her fingers carefully. The summer had been dull as expected, she hadn't been anywhere and no one had come to see her, of course she received owls from her friends from school often, but she wasn't particularly close to any of them.
She had a few friends but they were not from her dormitory, her closest friend was Remus Lupin, after she noticed his disappearances as nothing then they seemed to have a pattern. Soon she was able to demise what was going on. He was a werewolf. After she confronted him about it he begged her not to say anything. He was so scared of abandonment from the only friends he had ever had.
But even they were soon able to discover what was going on. And much to his delight, they weren't scared. Even after they found out though, he still had confided in Lily whenever he had problems. Lily, he discovered, was a friendly ear, and had a power in finding beauty in things that were often not apparent to others.
Another unlikely friend to which she had made, was Sirius Black, although in her mind she set out not to like him, he had proved her wrong. He saved her from a group of Slytherinns in 2nd year and ever since they had been close. Almost like brother and sister.
Lily closed her book and was about to leave when a Hogwarts owl came and dropped a letter just within her hand's reach.
Ms. Lily Evans,
I am very pleased to inform you that you have been chosen as Head Girl. This position should not be taken lightly, as you will be expected to put together school functions and hold prefect meetings. This year's Head Boy is James Potter, you will be asked to have meetings with him to discuss your choices of action and procedure for the events that are to take place this year. I am very pleased to have two Gryffindors as the Head Students this year
Sincerely
Prof. Minerva McGonnagal
Not more than three minutes after she read this another rather round, small owl delivered a letter;
Lily,
Hey Evans! Guess we will be seeing a lot of each other this year huh? Head Boy and Head Girl, should be a good year for Hogwarts having you at its Head.
Lily paused, was he just trying to flatter her, this certainly didn't seem like the James Potter she remembered. She although bewildered continued
I hope your summer went well with the Muggles! Well I suppose I will see you in the Head's compartment on the train, I might be inviting the Marauders to join me in our compartment so- well... I guess I should be going I still have to degnome the garden
See you soon, and thinking of you,
James
"Thinking of you", she had to admit that he was a very persistent person, even she was surprised that he still liked her. Lily had taken to him a little more welcoming since she had befriended Sirius.
From what Sirius had told her, he really wasn't as bad as she had imagined, after Sirius ran away from home to escape his detestable family, he had lived with James. As arrogant as he had always seemed, after hearing that Lily couldn't look at him in the same way, it was just the way he acted sometimes was so cruel, especially to Serverus, a Slytherin up to his eyes in the dark arts.
It wasn't that Lily liked Serverus she just didn't see the point in agonizing him for no apparent reason, which was something, that James and Sirius found very entertaining for a while.
Though she had to admit he had been doing less and less of since their rather public row in 5th year, she knew it was still going on but at least it wasn't as public now.
James and Sirius were ringleaders of the ever-popular Marauders, a group that included the two of them, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. Remus was probably the most level headed of the group, he had been a prefect and was actually a fairly nice guy from what Lily could see, he just never had the guts to stand up to James and Sirius once they had started going off on their hexing sprees.
Pettigrew however was probably the one that annoyed Lily the most, he was constantly egging on James and Sirius to show off, and would sit there and stare at them in awe every time they did anything that was the slightest bit interesting.
At least James wasn't being as obnoxious about his affection as before, even though from what Sirius had told her his feelings were stronger than ever (though that was not to be repeated).
With all the thoughts of the Marauders Lily had almost forgotten about her Hogwarts letter,
"Mum Dad I MADE HEAD GIRL!" she smiled and hugged her parents who hugged her back reassuringly,
"And why wouldn't you? You are the top of your class!" her father exclaimed in a very proud snooty tone, she laughed to herself, he maybe a tad bit snooty but he had always treated people with the same respect all humans deserved.
She skipped quietly up to her bedroom as not to bother Petunia, and began to pack her trunk, she would be leaving within the next week and needed to be sure that she was prepared for what was to come this year.
She looked around at her room, it was decorated in a deep blue, ruby and emerald green, it had a medieval type feel that made Lily feel like she was back in the Hogwarts dormitory. She nestled in her bed with her head stuck in Hogwarts: A History, it was an interesting read, it's what she had read when she didn't know what to do or to think about.
She gazed around her room, which was filled with many moving pictures of her Hogwarts friends, and professors. She could hardly wait for the next Monday to come around so she could see her friends at last.
