Yay! My first Harry Potter fic, so I decided to do my favourite HP couple, Lily and James (eventually). By the way, I'm only up to chapter seven of the Deathly Hallows, so I don't know what happens after that.

Lily Evans opened her emerald green eyes. The sun streamed in through her bedroom window. She quickly hopped out of bed, walking over to the calendar hanging on the wall. She grinned as she saw the date-today she was returning to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for her seventh, and final, year. Lily had been extremely excited when a Hogwarts owl came, securing her Head Girl badge and the usual letter for books and other things the students would need that year.

"Lily!" Elyse Evans, Lily's mother, called. "Hurry, you don't want to be late for the train!"

Lily quickly chose her clothes and got ready. She then brushed her red hair, and went into the kitchen.

"Morning, Lily-Pad," said her father, Jake Evans, beaming at her.

"Morning Dad," said Lily, smiling back at him.

Lily's sister, Petunia, was completely ignoring her as usual. The girls had been best friends once...before Lily turned eleven and got her Hogwarts letter saying she was a witch. Petunia now hated everything to do with magic-including her sister.

Lily finished her breakfast, and then went to brush her teeth. When she was ready, she grabbed her trunk and owl, Lizzie, and loaded them into the car. Her parents had also forced Petunia to come along.

It took about an hour to drive to Kings Cross Station. Once they got there Lily grabbed Lizzie's cage and her trunk.

Her sister was silent as usual, when her parents hugged her and once again told her to be safe. Lily turned around and ran casually through the barrier. As soon as she got through the barrier, she was covered in three people hugging her tightly. They were her best friends, Emilia (Em-a-leah) Amour, Leanne Rogers and Megan Wales.

All four of the girls came from different countries. Emilia came from France, though she only had a slight accent, and was extremely beautiful, with long jet black hair with bangs and wide blue eyes. Leanne had shoulder-length curly brown hair, and chocolate brown eyes. She came from Australia. Megan was from America, and had blonde hair and hazel eyes...Just like the person Lily hated most in the world, James Potter, who also had hazel eyes, messy black hair, and glasses. She thought he was so arrogant! So did her friends, but everyone knew that Leanne had a (supposed to be) secret crush on James's best friend, Sirius Black. Like Lily, James had three best friends-Sirius, Remus Lupin(who Lily actually liked), and Peter Pettigrew. James was like the ringleader of them all. They called themselves the Marauders. While James, Sirius, and Remus were the main ones, Peter was kind of in the background, always following the others around, especially James.

"Lily!" Emilia squealed. Out of all the girls, Emilia was Lily's best friend. "How was your summer?"

"Fine," said Lily, hugging her friends back. "Apart from Petunia either calling me a freak or completely ignoring me."

"She should get over it," said Leanne. "It wasn't your fault that you're a witch and she's not."

"Yeah," Lily said. "She's been doing it for six years now."

Just then the whistle on the train blew.

"Come on, we better hurry!" Megan said. The four girls quickly hopped on the train, looking for an empty compartment.

"Here's one!" Leanne said. They girls walked into the compartment and put their things up.

It was not long after the train began to move, that the door opened revealing Potter standing at the door with Sirius behind him.

"What do you want?" Leanne asked. "What are you doing here?"

They didn't answer. Neither did Lily. She was staring at James's chest.

James Potter was Head Boy.
