Authors Note: If people like the story, which requires reviews to tell me so, I will continue on with the story. So please review.

*-New Update- *(4/15/09) I have a new beta (Girl-X-91)… and she was awesome enough to edit the first chapter for me. No other beta has done that for me before. So muchas gracias to Girl-X-91. So on with the show. And remember to review and critique. I'm always open for critiques and/or suggestions.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter I wish I did. Nevertheless, I do not.

I sat in the compartment of the Hogwarts express, waiting for it to leave the station to take me back to school, back to a place where I will feel normal once again. I look at the Black leather bound diary in my hands. Elizabeth told me I should write in it when I felt ready to do so. Since there is no one in the compartment with me, and it will be a long time until we get to Hogwarts I decide that now will be a better time than ever to write in it. I opened to the first page, it was beautiful, perfect, I don't want to ruin the first page with my handwriting, so instead I turn to the second page, which in reality is the third page. I rummage around in my Knapsack that I have brought along with me for a pen or a quill that I can use to write.

I find a quill and begin slowly.

Hogwarts Express

Wednesday, September 1, 1976

Dear Diary,

The reason that I am writing in you is just because James Potter's mother, Elizabeth, suggested writing in a diary. She said that it would help to let my feelings out, seeing that they are so called "hidden from the world", by the so-called wall that I have built up, that makes me not reveal any of my horrendous memories and emotions to anyone. Including, the acquaintance I now live with, James Potter. Who has suddenly become my first and only friend. In case you are wondering why as of this time I am living with James Potter, it is because something terrible that has happened in the past 5 months or so. This left me living with the lovely Potters and that so-called barrier or wall, building up inside my mind.

Now that I have started to write it is becoming easier to let the pen flow.

I have also heard James saying that the once happy sparkle in my bright green eyes has tragically left and replaced with absolutely nothing.

I believe you may be wondering now what the terrible thing was that happened the past. I will not tell you now because I am not ready to tell you, a black leathered bound diary, my deepest, darkest secrets. Nevertheless, once I am ready to tell my only friend. I will first write it all down, to gather up my thoughts. Then I will tell James my story and sob into his muscular shoulder. Well that is the grand old plan.

You may be wondering who James Potter is. Seeing as you are just a book filled with a mere two-hundred pages of blank lined paper. James Potter is a boy who goes to school with me. Oh, yeah I forgot, I am a witch who goes to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As I said before James is a fellow classmate and he is also a fellow Gryffindor. He has unruly ebony black hair and melt worthy hazel eyes. Every person in Hogwarts either: adores him, loves him, worships him, envies him, and/or hates him with pure hatred. Well to explain all feelings toward him, let us just say he is the most popular kid in the school. He is handsome, if I do not say it myself, a smirk, as well as his hazel eyes, that melts all the girls hearts and maybe some chosen boys. He is the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team and fellow chaser. He is intelligent and is the top student in most of our classes, except Potions and Charms, which I hold the title. I believe that may be it. Oh, wait there is one more thing. He is the co-leader of the Marauders.

The Marauders is a group of four friends that has shared a bond ever since they met in Zonkos right before our first year began. They are all in Gryffindor, as am I, and 3 out of 4 of them are the hottest guys in the school. That is what I have heard anyway from listening to) the gossiping girls in my dorm, (unintentionally, when I can't sleep because of the noise they are making. I swear it is like torture, I mean you can only put up with hearing 'they are the hottest guys in the school' so many times before you want to crack, and I have to put up with it every single night.

The Maurders also are very bright without even touching a book. Except one of the boys, who lives in the library all the time. Each of these four boys has very different personalities but they share the same love in pranking. That is what people see from just taking a glance at them. However, I believe that their friendship has a strong bond that is made of the numerous secrets that the four boys share.

In case you are wondering, the Maurders consist of Peter Pettigrew, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and of course James Potter. Like I said before all of these boys have very different personalities and of course traits, which makes the Maurders, well the Maurders. I should describe them all, but right now I am really lazy.

I think I forgotten to write something, oh yeah a description of myself. My name is Lily Jane Evans. I am 16 years old and I am a 6th year at Hogwarts. I am on the Quidditch team as a chaser. People know my name but I am not popular, I do not have any true friends. James Potter might become a true friend to me in the future, but let us not jinx it. I have auburn hair and bright green eyes. I am quite tall; I am 5'6, compared to most girls in my year. I am also a prefect and well of course, I am smart. All the teachers adore me. I have had no friends for the past 5 years except Severus, but I am not thinking of him anymore after what he said to me...

James is the first person to notice me. He took notice to the girls in my dorm who have been tormenting me, and did something about it. They were bullying me and making fun of me ever since...

I hear someone opening the compartment door. Therefore, I will write in you soon.

Lily

I closed my diary, as the compartment door opened to reveal the Marauders.

"We have been looking for you everywhere," James said. He walked into my compartment.

"Actually it was just him," Sirius stated. James then hit him on the head as he sat down across from me. His eyes lingered on the diary.

"I see you have taken the advice from my dear mother, and started writing in a diary," James noted.

"Yes," I said.

"Oh, you write in a diary. Let me see," Sirius sat down next to me and tried to grab it. Nevertheless, no avail, he never took possession of it.

"No," I said sternly.

"Why? I want to read," Sirius, said.

"Wow, that is the first time I heard those words," Remus said as he sat down next to James. He placed his book bag on the floor and pulled one of his books out.

"I thought you were allergic to books Sirius," I asked.

"To clear the air, I am allergic to libraries, not books. One time I went in there and I started coughing and sneezing up a storm," Sirius said. What, he has to be kidding me.

"How does that relate to books?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Well, I just don't want that to ever happen again so I prefer not to chance reading the books," Sirius said.

"OK," I said. Sirius then pulled out his pile of candies from his pocket and started breathing them down.

"Shouldn't we be heading down for the perfects meeting?" Remus asked.

"I think so," I said. I picked up my knapsack and placed my diary in it.

"Lily-kins aren't you going to leave your knapsack here. It looks awfully heavy, and I don't mind watching it while you walk all the way to the other end of the train. It is such a loooonng way and all, wouldn't you like to leave it with me?" Sirius asked.

"Na, I have to build more muscle for Quidditch. So why not carry around an awfully heavy knapsack to help build more," I said as I slipped out of the compartment with Remus heading toward the meeting.

Authors Note: Review Please :) If I had any grammar or spelling, mistakes please tell me. In addition, if any sentences did not make any sense you can tell me that too. One more thing, if it is really boring write that in the review, I just hate reading boring fan fictions or ones that don't catch my eye. I will try to make it more exciting in the next few chapters.
