Musings, Notes and Broken Resolutions of Lily and Co.

Chapter 1: Lily's Resolutions

Lily Louise Evans's New Term Resolutions:

This week Lily will…

Begin the last ever school term of her life at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

Consider her options for jobs after she leaves Hogwarts because if she does not achieve top marks for her N.E.W.T.S there is no chance of her ever becoming a healer or an auror. (N.B Ask Alice for ideas!).

Finish all her assignments the day they are given out.

Revise for N.E.W.T.S!!!! (N.B MUST NOT FAIL – just asked Alice – apparently there is prejudice against muggleborns in a number of work places and without top marks will not have a hope of becoming employed – DO NOT WANT TO LIVE LIFE AS A MUGGLE BIN COLLECTOR!!!).

Avoid Amos Diggory at all costs – even is she is forced to skip class (if I run into him, must be mature and act like the kind, courteous Head Girl that I am – cough, cough – even if he is an aggressive, arrogant, self-righteous, son of a b-).

Refrain from swearing, particularly in a common room full of first years (N.B Swearing will destroy reputation and image…).

Avoid Professor Slughorn (must come up with some decent excuses to escape the invitations of parties – otherwise will definitely FAIL N.E.W.T.S!!!!).

Avoid James Potter – even if that means walking of the astronomy tower (if I am trapped in corridor with Amos Diggory at one end and James Potter at the other, walk towards…. I haven't got a clue… they're both as bad as each other… and I'm sure that I will suffer the fate of death from embarrassment by either person).

Avoid Alice and Frank – even though Alice is my best friend (I am so sick of walking in on them… reminds me of my doomed singleton spinster life…).

Avoid James Potter (N.E.W.T.S revision is much more important than Head meetings – especially if they include being questioned to death by Potter about certain … situations … about a certain 7th year Hufflepuff Prefect … AKA Amos Diggory).

Consider that she has to avoid so many people (I am counting Diggory and Potter as 100 a piece), and perhaps contemplate sneaking into 7th Year boys dormitories and borrow Potter's invisibility cloak for the week… (that's quite an idea… not that I would ever take without asking… of course… much… hehe… just kidding).

Laugh in triumph as she knows (and Potter hasn't got a clue that I know) about the existence of Potter's invisibility cloak. (well, I guess it's not completely his fault that one night last year he turned up to Gryffindor Tower a bit tipsy – no, scrap that, he was drunk – and wearing the invisibility cloak and forgetting to cover his head with it and that I happened to be the only person awake and had to levitate him into the boys dormitories… perhaps, Sirius Black is to blame?)

Owl mum her birthday (somehow sneak to Hogsmeade and buy one?) and ask her to send back Petunia's old muggle secondary school textbooks to me so that I can start studying (if I fail N.E.W.T.S, perhaps I can scrape through muggle secondary school examinations?) (N.B Must learn not to voice opinions of my failing N.E.W.T.S theories to Alice as she keeps snapping back that I am completely paranoid and pedantic and everyone knows that I will pull in top marks in all my N.E.W.T subject exams… she is so wrong though… perhaps having a boyfriend makes you more optimistic…)

Avoid James Pot– don't write the same thing twice– sorry THREE times!! This week, Lily will attempt to control her obsessive pedantic behaviour.

STOP TALKING IN THIRD PERSON AND GET STUDYING FOR N.E.W.T.S!!!

A/N Yay!!! Another fic!!! The next chapters will be up very soon – I am just editing them at the moment.

I know it's short but that's because this chapter is a prologue.

Please review:) :)
