A/N - This is that other version of "Sitting in a Tree" I mentioned in my Author Notes in the other one. Yea, I wrote two of them. I'm not sure which I like better. Enjoy! (and review!)
Lily Evans was re-reading her diary of Hogwarts. Her emerald eyes sparkled as she read about the fights James and her used to have.
Ugh! I cannot believe James bloody Potter! How dare he humiliate me in Potions class! Ooh, I just hate him! Do you know what he did, Diary? He not only blew up my cauldron that was mixing a highly volatile brew, he also turned my eyes red and hair green! Talk about Christmas coming early, honestly! Ooh, he makes me so mad, I can hardly stand it! Ugh. Why, oh why, did he/I have to be in Gryffindor? Why couldn't I be in, say, Ravenclaw? That is a perfectly respectable house. Merlin, even Hufflepuff would be better than this! Not that there's anything wrong with Hufflepuff, or even Slytherin. Well, besides all those blasted rumors. Well there's not much I can do…
It continued on like that until the end of sixth year. It was seventh year that he finally calmed down a little and showed some maturity. She read another entry.
Diary, am I in an alternate universe? Because if I'm not, then I think that Pot-James is from a different universe. Can you believe it? He was actually nice to me. Me! I'm him worst enemy, but he's being nice. I mean, for all I know, in his other world, he and Severus Snape were the best of friends. Oh my, that would be quite a shocker. Even more surprising than him being almost companionable. Quite an improvement, I have to say.
Lily laughed a little as she read the last few sentences. She skipped ahead to the night before Graduation.
I can't believe it's over. This section of my life, Hogwarts, is finished. It's hard to believe I won't wake up in the morning and find it was all a dream and I was stuck with a life as a normal Muggle. I know that that's horrible to say, considering I'm Muggle-born, but after seeing everything and everyone here, I don't think I'd ever be able to go back to being normal. I think I'm destined to be different, and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. Oh dear! I almost forgot to tell you. JAMES PROPOSED! Oh em eff gee, I am sooooo happy! I couldn't believe we are to be married. Marriage! At eighteen. Amazing, I have to say. As much as I absolutely adore him, I do hope we don't just get married, just like that. I want the whole experience of rushing around, trying to get everything done, gushing over wedding plans with my girlfriends, ooh I can't wait! It will be the happiest moment in my life (coming only just before when I finally said "yes" to James) when I say "I do." Oh, I think I'm gushing right now. Oh well – I'm getting married! I'm allowed to gush a bit, thank you very much. Anyways, I have to go make sure my trunk is all packed and all. This will most likely be my last entry. This is, after all, my Hogwarts diary. Love you tons! –Lily Evans (soon to be Potter).
Lily had to say, that entry was probably her favorite out of all the entries. She had just had Baby Harry, and she couldn't be happier. She finally had her own family, complete with a loving husband and a beautiful baby boy.
Unbidden, she remembered how her sister used to tease her when she would get a crush (this was when they were something akin to friends).
"Lily and Ja-ames, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Harry in the baby carriage!" She sang to herself quietly. She snickered, as she thought of the time she (ironically, enough) was sitting in a tree, angry, for some reason or another, at James and he'd found her, apologized, and then they'd pretend the fight never happened and preceded to have a snogging session. Kissing indeed.
