Disclaimer: hey this is my first story hope u like it....please review...I made the story up off of the top of my head and took the character and such from the great J.K. Rowling....r/r and enjoy. Byez.

Chapter 1: The beginning

I would just like to say James Potter is the biggest most irrating jerk! I'm Lily Evans and I can't stand people not like me because I am not like them. I mean come on...just because I am not miss popular and have a liking for my academics doesn't make me evil, does it? James said I was a butt-kissing prat and a geeky-freaky. Beside that being pathatic comments it hurt. Especially from him!

You see James and I were in muggle school together and bestfriends till we both discovered we were wizards. I don't know if it was the fact that we realize we were hidding something from each other, or that he just didn't like me anymore, but what ever it was made him into a egotistical prat. I HATE JAMES POTTER!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This has to be the weirdest story I have ever heard. Your probably wondering who I am exactly...well I'm...put it this way I heard this story and I am telling it to you. I am here to include much need information that isn't in the story. Call me what you will but I would like to go by Raven (seeing how I have the birds I view). This Lily Evans isn't miss popular. Actually she isn't much of anything. She just exists as the mousy hair, blue eyed girl, and James well he is the gorgeous brown hair, brown eyed Mr. Perfect. Now let me bring you up to date...

Recently Lily received a letter from this wizards' school named Hogwarts (it's a very important, very hard to get into type of school) and when she told her bestfriend James she was leaving and would probably never see him again she mention for the first time she was a witch. At this James jump up and yelled at her revealing to he too had powers, was a wizard, and was going to Hogwarts. Normally this would be great news, but not in this case. If I recall correctly his exact words were "your a stupid, lying prat!" James has always like the word prat. Of course this made Lily mad, and they haven't talked since. That was 2 months ago and now Lily is at the night before leaving for Hogwarts.

I think I better go to bed now. I have any early mourn-ahhhh! What was that. Oh it's just my new owl... what's this. A letter:

Dear Miss Evans,

I am sorry to say, but you will have to be leaving tonight to the station. More will be explained later...Thank you

Thanks again,

Corey Tornury

Conductor of the Hogwarts Express

I wonder what this is about. "MUM!!!"

"What?" said mum.

"We have to leave tonight. I just got this letter."

"Ok...lets go," she reluctently said. " Wait...how did that get here?" Looking over to the owl.

"Oh that...ummm...thats my new pet.You said I could have a pet."

"But an owl...Lily please...What will the neighbors say? I know you're different honey, but I don't want anyone to start thinking you're evil, or something."

"Sorry mum, I'll send it back-"

"No don't worry about it. Just keep the magic to a low...oh I can just imagine what your father would say if he were still abou'."

My dad left when I was little (when all the magic started). I don't know why exactly, but he said I was extra special and he would be back for me later. Not much to go on but I believe him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just as Lily got to platform 9 she remember Professor Dumbledor telling her the instruction on how to get to 9 3/4. She hopped through the wall and trip over, who else but, James stuff. Lily felt his eyes glaring at her and she ran on the train. She sat down in one of the empty compartments, and just then James and his new friends entered her compartment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Can we sit in hear with you?" said James.

"I don't care," I replied, " you do as you so fit."

"Do you always sound that smart?" remarked one of his friends, " My name's Sirus Black. This is Peter Pettigrew, and this is Remus Lupin. I guess you already know James here."

"Me and her were friends in muggle school." Then to me he said, "I met this guys this summer at diagon alley...if you were wondering."

"I wasn't," I replied.

The rest of the ride went pretty much like that except I over heard talk of Hogmeade(sorry if I spelled it wrong) and school pranks. I just read my book, that's my favorite thing to do read. Before I knew it we were pulling up to a beautiful hidden castle that just took my breathe away. It was made of stone and was so so so so high. As we got of the train a man 20 feet tall...well maybe like 7...and a long beard told 1st years to get in the boats. I ran to a boat so not to be stuck with James only to find I went to the very one they had. As we crossed the water I realized I forgot to put back on my shoes (my favorite pair too) after a changed. I was so embrassed and when I told the giant he carried me across the lawn up to the door and got my an extra pair of shoes. As I got in line to be "sorted" (as Professor McConagall put it) I started to sweat nervously. This was it I was next the last had been Ravenclaw, but since there was no pattern to what the sorting hat said that didn't matter. I went up sat on the stool, and the professor placed the hat on my head...'now lets see...why are you so nervous...everyone is always nervous...don't worry I'll put you where you belong...no not Hufflepuff to smart for that...I know'...."GRYFINDOR!" That's it I was in Gryfindor...that was the best news all night. Until they got to Lupin, Potter, and Pettigrew. Sirus had already be put in Gryfindor and now so were they.

At the end of the sorting Professora Dumbledor gave a great speech. At least I thought was. Near the end he told us all why we had to come that night and it wasn't that pleasant. "You see students the train station is being shut down tommorrow do to the recent happenings. I am sorry to those who Lo...I mean He-Who-Shall-Not be named hurt deeply, and we shall get to the bottom of it. But for now lets eat and have a great school year," he had said. For some reason I didn't think that was the only reason. All summer a worked on my spells to make sure I wasn't behind (being half muggle isn't easy on a witch), and I learned that if a wizard isn't telling the whole truth his robe will crinkle...but that's probably just a wives tale. After the meal I went up to my quarters, and met my 4 roommates, Krystal, Lisa, Bianca, and Soulae.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was a part a left out there that just gave the whole introduction of the teachers and what they do, but I think it's a little important. I probably should have told you before, but I am the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. The last teacher had quit, because he was afraid of some of the up coming students. So I glad took the job and believe be it is a better job then it sounds. Well other teachers you need to know are Professor McCongall, which I mentioned before, who teaches Transfiguration, Professor Harvey (don't be fooled he really is a pooka) who teaches Potions, and Professor Connelly who teaches Divitation. Others will be mentioned, but that's all I feel are really important. The most important thing to remember is the that He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named is unknown to our half muggle friend Lily.
