All those times Lily Evans-Potter was wrong
Lily Evans had the reputation of being the teacher's pet, an ambitious achiever and a Little-Miss-Perfect-who-got-everything-right. While she was happy to accept the first two labels, she wasn't so sure about the third. She was used to being proven wrong.
Age 7
Tuney and I will always be best friends and we'll share all our secrets.
Wrong
Age 8
That Severus boy called me a witch. How horrid! I'll never speak to him again.
Wrong again
Age 11
I'm finally off to Hogwarts with Sev. I'm so glad we're friends. We'll have such great adventures together!
Wrong
Age 11
'You're wrong' I had tried telling the Hat. How could I be in Gryffindor! I'm not strong or brave.
Proved herself wrong
Age 12
Potter was lying to show off. He honestly can't be good enough to make the team just in his second year.
WrongX10 – that's how many goals he scored
Age 13
How dare Potter ask me out? As if I will ever go out with him, he's horrible.
So wrong
Age 14
Mary's lying. I know he's in Slytherin but there is no way Sev is associating with Mulciber.
Wrong
Age 15
He called me mudblood. I guess I'm not as important as I thought. Just another common Muggle-born to him.
So, so wrong
Age 16
Remus keeps saying that James still likes me. But I know it's only because I keep saying no. I'm like a challenge; I doubt he really cares.
Wrong
Age 17
I can't like him. I don't like him. I do not, I repeat – DO NOT fancy James Potter.
Wrong
Age 18
'I had such a great time tonight, James. It was the best date ever. I don't think it can be more perfect.'
Then he got down on one knee.
Happy to be wrong
Age 19
AARRGHH
If I ever manage to make it through the next 3 months and have this baby, I'll be surprised. How will I handle the baby? I bet I'll be rubbish.
How wrong
Age 20
I know Alice, I'm worried for Harry and Neville too. But we'll be alright. They'll be leaving for Hogwarts one year and we'll both be there to see them off.
Sadly, wrong
Age 21
I'm so sorry James. I'm so, so sorry. I love you.
And I'm so very sorry Harry baby, I love you so much. I'm sorry I can't do anymore to protect you. I'm sorry I failed.
And then Voldemort came in.
I'm sorry I can't do anything more.
Oh! How very wrong she was.
