AN: Hi guys. I was thinking of something to write, but I couldn't really think of anything. I then remembered my vacation last summer, and decided it was perfect. Then this story was born

"Lily, hurry up! Lily, you have to hurry!" I can hear my mom yell. Our plane leaves in an hour and a half, and I've only just woken up. I run around my room frantically trying to find something to wear. When I was packing yesterday, I forgot to leave out something to wear. This time tomorrow, I'll be in Canada. If that's not far from James Potter then I don't know what is.

James Potter, the biggest annoyance this world has ever seen. The prat that everyday, seems to think it will be funny to ask me out a million times. Usually, I spend the summer at my best friend, Alice Prewett's house. Unfortunately, she lives next door to the dreaded James Potter. So most days in the holiday, we have to see the arrogant toerag.

However this year, my family and I are flying out to Canada. We plan on coming back two days before my school starts, and eight days before Petunia starts. See, we go to different schools because there is something different about me. To understand it though you have to know the whole story.

The summer when I was eleven, I we got some new neighbours, the Snape's. They were and odd family always saying nonsense, never making much sense. I swore once Mrs. Snape came outside in some dirty robes, with a stick and just disappeared. Their son isn't much better, Severus is an odd boy. When I stopped by to welcome them to the neighbourhood he looked down on me. I don't quite know how he did it, because he is quite a bit shorter than me. It was like he was some prince and I'm just a lousy commoner. Then a few weeks later, I found out he was stalking me, because I was a 'witch'. How rude can you get? After I got my Hogwarts letter I realized he was telling the truth and we were inseparable.

Now Petunia didn't accept this as well as everyone else. My parents were proud of me, but she was jealous. She even wrote to Professor Dumbledore asking if she could come. Little did I know, in the years to come, she would refer to me as 'the freak'. In the beginning it was just when it was us. Then in front of my parents, now she calls me it in front of everybody. It's like from the minute Sev talked to us, I was no longer her little sister.

When I actually got to Hogwarts it was like a dream come true. I was learning things I had only imagined. Severus and I weren't quite as close after I got sorted into Gryffindor and him to Slytherin. He was still my best friend, but now I had others, and he had monsters. My world was perfect, with only one problem. His name was James Potter.

From the moment I met him, he was arrogant, mean, and plain stupid. He nicknamed my best friend Snivellus. It was always, "Hey Snivellus." Or "Snivellus watch your ugly head." They were horrible. That's why when he started asking me out in fifth year I declined, every time. He was newly improved, and even more annoying. Not much changed until that fateful day.

Sev and I decided we were going down to the lake. I had to run back to get my coat, because it was quite chilly. When I returned I couldn't find him anywhere so I followed the voices. I arrived to see James Potter, and his equally annoying best friend Sirius Black. I didn't mind his other friends as much. I began to stop disliking Remus after he was made prefect with me. All the patrolling led to many conversations, and with the talking I realized his only major fault was his friends. Peter has always been a pathetic boy. Pathetic, but not overall evil. I have been helping him with charms since first year.

James and Sirius were yelling at Sev, who they had lifted up and turned upside down. I instantly knew I had to do something about it. So I intervened. Then Severus called me the word that he knows kills me inside, Mudblood.

Well that was the end of that friendship.

"Lily Marie Evans, get down here now we are late," Mum yells. Oops I spent all my time reminiscing and I forgot to get dressed. Oh well Canada here I come."

AN: Sorry I don't know Lily's real middle name. I couldn't find it anywhere. The ones of fanfiction are varied. If anyone knows, please let me know and I'll change it.

For anyone that is reading my Mortal Instruments fanfic, I haven't given up, I just let my best friend borrow my copy, and she's a REALLY slow reader. Also i'm sorry this is kinda boring, the first copy was better but then my laptop crashed so, this is what you get.

Thanks for reading! Please Review!
