Constructive criticism is one of my best friends. Don't be too harsh, but I always look for ways to improve . This is my first Fanfiction story! Enjoy! I have read many stories from this website, and one author completely inspired me to write my own, thanks TT! I'm starting out with a Lily and James story because these are two of my favorite characters, and since their both so unknown, I'd love to try to get a sense of which they are and how they acted, especially in Hogwarts. So here goes nothing...

The greatest moment in my life...

The greatest moment in my life had to be when I first received my acceptance letter to "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry", mostly because at age eleven, I really had nothing going around here in the muggle world. I would go to school, come home, do my homework, and go to soccer practice. (Yes I'm an athlete). I always felt like there should be something more to my life than just the typical routine, and I always knew I was different, mostly because of the fact that I could make things happen and not explain them. I was told when I was nine years old that I was a witch. Unbelievable, yet for me, I believed this person without any background information about him, everything just fit into place. What other reason could there be for accidentally setting fire to part of my fourth grade classroom, or sending a plate crashing down two flights of stairs. But it wasn't so much the thought of me being different that made me curious. It was the challenge. The challenge of being muggle born. I would have to prove myself to my entire class, my entire school, but mostly to myself. As a straight A student to this day. With her Apparating License, and Prefect, I have to say I have come a long way. Hogwarts is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. That moment, when I received that letter. And here I am again, receiving my seventh letter, which made my entire life seven years ago. I have come a long way throughout my years, and I hope to continue my experiences with friendship, acing those N.E.W.T. exams, and I hope a little bit of romance ;).

My greatest moment:

By: Lily Evans

..

What's that? Whoah... As I rolled out of bed... and fell on the ground, I violently hit the snooze button as I usually do. I hate that sound of the alarm, yet it's the only thing that seems to wake me up! And that, of course, is why I use it. But what I didn't seem to get through my head, was the thought that its Saturday and 6:00 a.m.!

Suddenly something flew by the window. Of course Lily knew what it was, knowing for years, the typical messenger in the Wizarding World. She opened the window irritably, and grabbed the letter in the owl's claw. The owl promptly flew away from the sleepy Lily. She opened up the formal card quickly; knowing what is was before it was opened.

I screamed! The excitement overjoyed me! This is what I was waiting for my entire career at Hogwarts! My mother came running in and attempted to calm me down, but as soon as I told her the news, she screamed along with me! An exciting moment for a muggle born. AN exciting moment, for anyone! Now I just have to find out who my Head Boy is...
