All's Fair in Love and War

Chapter 1: Discoveries

Yuki Reed and her cousin Adrian McAlister walked off the gleaming red Hogwarts Express. As they walked onto the Hogwarts grounds, the wind blew and rippled Adrian's long, wavy black hair, and Yuki's longer ice blue hair. As simple a thing it was, it attracted many stares from Hogwarts' male population.

"I wonder what Lil needed us for," Adrian thought aloud, pushing her hair out of her azure blue eyes.

"She probably wanted us to give her a make-over. Finally. We've been telling that girl to get one for years, but does she listen? No," Yuki answered, waving and smiling at the boys watching her.

"Yeah, but couldn't it have waited? I mean, we're staying at her house over the summer since we're transferring...This doesn't seem like something Lily would do."

Yuki was too busy with her admirers to listen this time. Adrian just sighed and rolled her eyes teasingly at her cousin. She could be such a shameless flirt.

"Well, maybe she's finally wised up and found herself a boyfriend. I'm sure she'd want to look nice for him for the end of year dance or something. You know, like the one we had at ClowReed every year?"

"Does Hogwarts even have balls or whatever?" Adrian asked, confused.

"They'd better. I don't want to spend my last year at school without any parties!"

Adrian rolled her eye. Not just at her cousin, but at the behavior of the boys around them. They were tripping over each other just to get a better glimpse of the foreign girls.

Just then, an ear-piercing scream was heard, followed by chaotic laughter. It was coming in the direction of the lake. Adrian and Yuki shot horrified glances at each other. That voice sounded familiar...

"You don't think..." Yuki murmured.

"Let's go," Adrian said urgently and started to run in the direction the scream came from, with Yuki hot on her heels.

What they saw shocked them. Their best friend, Lily Evans, was hovering in the air twenty feet above the lake with the giant squid swiping one of its massive tentacles at her. Down on the lake bank, three boys were laughing their heads off while one of them held Lily suspended in the air with his wand.

"Let me down! Oh God, please let me down!" Lily screamed.

"What's the matter Red, afraid of heights?" a tall, handsome boy with casually elegant ebony hair and silver-gray eyes taunted as the boy with the wand made her rise higher.

Lily screamed as she got higher and higher, the giant squid's huge tentacles nearly knocking her out of the air.

The laughter grew louder and Adrian's blood boiled. Who did those three prats think they were, picking on Lily like that? Why weren't her other friends doing anything to stop them?

"Lily-Chan!" Yuki screamed, "Oh my fukin' God! What the hell is your problem!" The four guys seemed shocked that Yuki would dare to speak to them like that.

"Teveto Hurricane!" Adrian called for her prized broom. Gleaming in all its glory, the Hurricane came flying through the air, the latest racing broom in the world. Adrian kicked off as soon as her broom reached her fingertips. Yuki took out her black ribbon and tied her long hair into a tight knot.

She marched over to the guy with the wand and slapped him so hard that he fell, dropping the wand that held Lily in the air in the process. Lily began hurtling toward the lake.

"Holy crap!" Adrian yelled, "Whoa. Gotcha," she sighed as she caught Lily just when she was about a foot from the water. Yuki was still yelling at the guys. She recognized the guy with the wand- James Potter. He had attended a party her parents had thrown about two years ago, with his two best friends, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black, whom Yuki recognized to be the other two guys on the lake's edge. Adrian landed next to Yuki with Lily by her side, the red-head trembling with shock and fear.

"Lily-Chan," Yuki began in Japanese, "naze did goshujin miuchi do sore tame maro?" (Lily-Chan, why did your friends do that to you?)

"Karera are not mai miuchi Yuki-Sama," Lily mumbled, "Karera are sono ones dare pikku oite ware." (They are not my friends Yuki-Sama. They are the ones who pick on me.)

"Oh, well...sorry Red," James apologized as he started to walk toward Lily. But Yuki stepped in front of him.

"No. Go away; you've caused her enough pain. Leave now!" Yuki yelled. James was sent flying a good twenty-five feet away, and Remus and Sirius immediately took off after him.

"We'll leave now," Adrian announced. Lily packed her bags, and the three girls set off for Lily's house for the long summer ahead.
