A/N: Hello people who have taken the time to read this story! This is my first idea I have actually posted on fanfiction, so I would like everyone to review it, unless, of course, you think it's stupid. I enjoy constructive critisim, I like that you are taking the time to make my writing better, but please don't send hate reviews. This story is all about Lily Evans/Potter, and her life at Hogwarts. I want to go all the way to seventh year, but I don't know how that will work out yet, it's a lot of writing. I'm hoping to update fairly frequently, so stay with me! I might need a few reminders to update some times, just PM me or something. Well, enough of my rambling, enjoy!

*Lily's POV*

"Mom, get up, we have to leave for the train station in ten minutes! I can't be late, how horrible would it be to miss the very first day of school!" I grinned as I ate my pancakes. We didn't really have to leave in ten minutes, but this was the best way to get my mom up. I heard her upstairs, rushing about to get dressed. About five minutes later I yell up, "Oh, nevermind, I misread the clock, we have an hour anad ten minutes, but now that you're up, would you like some pancakes?" I smile innocently up the staircase.

"Lily Evans, don't do that! How would you like it if I went back to bed and when we really did have to leave, I didn't believe you when you tried to get me up, so you really were late." My mother said this all very fast, but you could tell underneath her stern voice she was impressed with my skills.

"But what fun would that be?" I grinned up at her, but she just rolled her eyes.

I was confused. Befuddled. Confuzzled. We were at the train station, but I couldn't find my train. This was a problem. My ticket said Platform 9 3/4. But I don't know where that is. Neither does my mom. Or my dad. And Tuney especially doesn't know. In fact, she's been rather mean about me being magic. She says I'm a freak, and that's it's good I'm being sent to a school for freaks, to keep us away from normal people. Anyways, I couldn't find the Platform. Sure, there were people congragating around the barrier between Platforms 9 and 10,but every time I tried to get a closer look, they vanished. Trying to figure out what to do, I overheard someone use the term, "Muggle." I, knowing this to be a description of people like my parents or Tuney (non-magic folk), swiveled around to see a tall, skinny boy with untidy hair and glasses with two older people, who I assumed were his parents.

I ignored the boy, but politely walked up to his parents and asked,"Excuse me, but I'm muggle-born and I was wondering, how do I get onto the Platform?"

"Why young lady, are you telling me the Ministry folk didn't tell you? It's standard procedure!" said the father, with a disappointed look on his countanance.

"Their standards have fallen ever since you retired dear," the old woman said affectionately to her husband. Behind them, the boy made a gagging motion. I giggled. He was sorta cute... But of course, I would never judge a person by their looks alone. That would be insufferably shallow of me.

"Well dear, you just follow us, and we'll take you to the Platform. Oh, and bring you family too," said the kind mother of the boy. I motioned to my family, telling them to follow, and walked at a steady pace behind the old folks who had offered to help me (Well, techinically, I had asked them, but they had provided information, so I feel justified in using the word "offered"). Then, we arrived at the barrier. I gave the family a confused look, wondering what we were doing here.

"Alright James, why don't you show- er, sorry, I've forgotten to ask your name havent' I?" inquired the old man.

"I'm Lily Evans, these are my parents, and this is my sister, Tu- Petunia," I blushed, I had almost called my sister Tuney- in public!

"Nice to meet you. I am Mr. Potter, this is my wife, and this is our son, James. Well, James, why don't you show Lily how it's done!" the old man gave his son a conspirital wink, and the boy charged into the barrier, not a care in the world.

I stared in bewilderment as the boy charged into the barrier, confident as could be. I was sure he was going to crash, but when he reached the apparently solid brick wall, he disappeared.

"Wait! What happened! Where did he go?" at the note of panic in my voice, the Potters smiled. However, I didn't find it funny in the slightest. Their son had just disappeared for heaven's sake! I would have thought such a loving couple would be worried, but they seemed to think this was a perfectly normal occurance.

"Go ahead dear, you might want to take it at a bit of a run if you're nervous. Take you sister with you, she won't be able to cross the barrier unless she's holding your hand. We'll take care of your parents," Mr. Potter said this in a level-headed tone, as if this was completely normal (which it wasn't). Nervously, I glanced at Petunia, and offered her my hand. She seemed to be battling emotions. She had told me she never wanted anything to do with Hogwarts, but I could tell she really was curious what was behind that wall.

Seeing her hesitancy, Mrs. Potter said, "Oh, go on dear, on little look won't kill you."

I shot her a grateful look as Petunia took my hand and wispered, "Fine, but don't you try any funny buissness, or your life will be miserable over the Christmas Holidays." That quickly wiped the grin off my face, but soon I was charging through the barrier, too scared to keep my eyes open, when I bumped into something. No, it wasn't the wall, but it was the Potter boy, as I had taken to calling him in my head.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't see you," I said to the boy, blushing at my stupidity. Or was it his? After all, he was the one standing right in front of the barrier, not me.

"Well I suppose not, having your eyes closed and all," he teased. "We better moved out of the way-"

"Oh, like you did?" I grinned secretly to myself. I was enjoying taunting him.

"Yeah, right," the boy rolled his eyes, then continued, "Our parents will be coming through the barrier any minute now."

"Bye Mum! Bye Dad!" I yelled out the window as the steam engine pulled away from the station. "Bye Tuney!" Oops! Drat, I really should watch what I call her, she hates being called that in pulic. "Sorry Petunia!" I waved and sat down in my seat next to Severus, who I had (finally) found in the station. As soon as I found him, the Potter boy left, probably thinking the worst of Severus, who honestly needs a lesson in personal hygiene, but I never told him that, his life was terrible enough as it is.

Then, four boys entered our compartment, saying that "everywhere else was full." I knew for a fact that they had just been occupying a compartment across the hall. They quickly introduced themselves. The first boy had shaggy light brown hair, and blue eyes. He was skinny and had rings under his eyes, but he looked amazed that he was he was even on the train, which is honestly how I felt myself. He told us his name was Remus J. Lupin, but wouldn't admit what his middle name was. The next to introduce himself was a bold boy with a slightly superior look on his face. He had almost shoulder-length black hair, and eyes that glittered like a beetle's. He told us his name was Sirius Black, and then rudely questioned Severus if he even owned a bottle of shampoo, a comment which he thankfully ignored, as a disgruntled Severus was not one to be trifeled with. The last time someone had made him truly angry a branch had fallen off a tree and hit Tuney on the head, sending her home in tears. The third boy was James Potter, who looked, if anything, more adorable with his glasses askew over his eyes, which were the colour of carmel. But I pushed these thoughts out of my head, I hardly could say I knew him, and I didn't know what his personality was like at all. After all, "love at first sight" was hardly realistic, after all, you can't judge a book by its cover. The last boy had small watery blue eyes, mousy brown hair, and was, in all honesty, a bit on the pudgy side. He was really quiet, and you could tell he was really just a tag-along, the other boys had just found him all alone and had taken him under their wing. Then, everything took a turn for the worse.

A/N: Hey! While writing this chapter I almost forgot about Severus! I can't believe it! But I remembered quickly enough. If you want to know more about me, visit my profile, I like updating it a lot, so it tends to pretty interesting, in my oh-so-humble opinion.:)
