-Chapter One-
Sometimes she just wrote to write, never looking at the words just letting them go their own way. She didn't have very many friends at school. To her it was just a place to get an education. If not studying you could find her writing, reading or dreaming, just staring out into space.
Her room was full of fantasy things. She longed to go to these places, to be rid of the world that held her down. It was that fateful day that one person noticed her. The girl who stood out so much but at the same time invisible!
School had started a week ago but already Lily Evans could be seen studying. She sat at the Gryffindor table but was never seen in the common room. In the middle of first year she had asked Professor Dumbledore for a small room of her own. Lily was one of Dumbledore's favorite, so of course he had everything set up for her.
She could always be seen with a light expression on her face, a pencil behind her ear, and always chewing gum. Even in classes! It was this morning that seemed like just an ordinary one, that the world began to change for certain people.
The first people arrived to no one's surprise that Lily Evans was already there. She was eating some yogurt and writing. She must have been there a while for there was an empty plate next to her and she had already finished the yogurt. She paused in her writing, grabbed a piece of gum, and popped it in her mouth.
Since breakfast at eight and ended at nine by eight thirty the majority of the people were there. The time for mail arrived and everyone got there love from someone or another. Then everyone looked up, breathing stopped, people felt there fear growing inside of them. The only girl who didn't notice was Lily, too absorbed in her writing to notice anything. There was the black owl! The one the Ministry of Magic used to warn people of death. There it flew heading for the person. Suddenly everyone knew who that one person was and couldn't help but stare at her.
The bird landed right In front of Lily. She jumped, not expecting to get mail, she rarely did! She finished her sentence and began to pet the owl. Never once did she notice all eyes on her. She gave the owl some pieces of toast, and held out her hand with some water in it. He took it all with a grateful hoot. She took the letter from his foot but continued to pet it. It climbed on her arm, people began it think it was her owl, but when it took off they saw it had more letters bearing the mark of the Ministry of Magic.
Lily closed her notebook and started to pack up her stuff, and finally grabbed the letter. Ripping it open it was very short, she scanned the whole thing. She paled a bit reread it, but then all color was back again. Muttering a curse, the others watched as the parchment burst into flames.
She looked up surprised too see all eyes one her. A smile broke out on her face though! People began to whisper about her. Most of the people who received a letter like that usually burst into tears, and ran from the great hall. She picked up her stuff calmly, slowly walked to her first class.
Lily had the highest grade in the whole school. The teachers loved her, because she was one of the few who dedicated to her work. When Lily arrived to her class a little bit earlier than usual they didn't notice. She took out her homework then her notebook and continued to write whatever she was working on at the moment.
Slowly the time for to class begin came. People filed in, talking to friends, or something like that, not one single person didn't glance at Lily though. Professor Millie, it was her first name she hated her last name, pulled a student outside.
"James why is everyone staring at Lily?" she asked staring back at Lily
"Professor you weren't at breakfast?"
"No I wasn't."
"Oh, well she got a black owl from the Ministry!"
"She didn't!" Professor Minnie clapped her hands over her mouth in surprise.
"The weird thing was she didn't explode. She set the letter ablaze, looked up and saw everyone looking at her. She smiled, didn't burst away from the hall, just smiled."
"Oh my! She's only in the sixth year. She has so much promise; I hope this won't present a problem for her."
James just shrugged his shoulders, what could he say? He didn't know Lily Evans. In fact now that he thought about it no one truly knew her. He walked back inside and sat down next to Sirius. Professor Millie followed shortly after him and began the lesson. James watched as Lily answered most of the questions, and went on with her normal routine, as if nothing had happened.
She was a Gryffindor but none of the Gryffindor's saw or knew her. She obviously didn't sleep in the girl's dormitory. Which made him wonder where did she stay? And tore a piece of parchment and wrote on it.
'Hey guys you know how Lily Evans is a Gryffindor but doesn't stay in the Gryffindor tower! Well tonight let's see where she stays.'
He folded the note flicked it at Sirius, who read it, the twinkle in his eyes glittering. He wrote something down on it and flicked it at Remus. Remus read it wrote something also and flicked it back at James. James unfolded it and read.
'James bloody good idea! We should have thought of this earlier. Sirius'
'I suppose it won't do any harm. Just don't take anything! Remus'
James refolded the note, stuffed it in his pocket and began to take some real actual notes.
Dinner was almost over and Sirius was still shoving food do that bottomless pit he called his mouth. James and Remus on the other hand were watching lily out of the corner of their eyes to see when she would leave. Remus saw her close her notebook, and pile her stuff up.
"Hey she's about to leave!" Remus spoke up.
"Remember to get up only after she leaves the great hall okay?" James said.
"Okay." Remus agreed Sirius just nodded his mouth was full at the moment.
Lily stood up with her pile of books and made her way out of the great hall. James didn't want to turn around and stare at her and have her think something was going on so he waited. He heard her footsteps begin to fade and knew it was time. Remus and James casually got up but Sirius didn't.
"Oh honestly!" Remus sighed. He and James grabbed Sirius by the arms and began to drag him out of the great hall.
"No their about to serve dessert! NO!" he screamed.
Many people around him began to laugh. Sirius and his food!
"We can go to the kitchens and get dessert later, some on."
"Oh yeah!" he popped up and walked out of the great hall with James and Remus.
They saw Lily step off the last stair and turn right. Quickly and quietly they ran up the stairs. They peered around the corner she had turned and saw her turn left. They followed her some more.
Five minutes passed and she paused at the painting of a beautiful dragon. It was white sitting in a cave with treasure behind it.
"Password?" it hissed out, flames spurting out of its mouth.
"Good evening Robert, the password is Charles Dickens."
She had chosen one of her favorite muggle authors, knowing not many people would know of or heard of him. She stepped into her room and immediately went to take a shower. James, Sirius, and Remus walked up to the dragon.
"Password?" it hissed once more.
"Charles Dickens." They said once more.
It looked at them in disapproval but since they had said the right password he had to let them enter. They stepped in cautiously, but when they heard the shower running they relaxed. That's when they truly noticed their surroundings.
It was so many colors, green, yellow, purple, and blue. Fantasy posters hung everywhere. Some puzzles of muggle things were hanging up on the walls too. She had one large shelf that started at the ceiling and reached the roof. Half of it was covered in fantasy book, the other half was of stuffed animals mostly dragons and frogs and unicorns, mythical creatures. Her comforter on her bed and her sheets were tie-dye. It was the most amazing room they had ever been in.
They were so absorbed in taking in everything that they never heard the shower going off. Lily stood in the doorway to her bathroom wearing a white spaghetti strap shirt saying 'BELIEVE'. She was wearing pajama pants covered in pixies.
"Well!" she finally said.
They jumped and slowly turned to see Lily looking at them. Sirius's jaw dropped, even James was caught off guard. The Lily they saw always wore her uniform one size too big, and always had her hair up in some way. The Lily in front of them was wearing something some what tight and had her hair flowing down her back. She actually looked kind of cute.
"I suppose this means you've found out where I stay. I'll have to change my password too!" she was smiling though.
She stepped forward opened up her arms bowed slightly and said
"Welcome to my lair!"
