Yet Another Lily and James Story
Disclaimer: I'm only doing all of these once so read them! I do not own most of the characters and the setting. I own the plot and some characters, basically anything you don't recognize.
Plot: Like the title says, it's yet another Lily and James story. Lily and James meet, they start out as friends, could it be more? The overcome obstacles together and some other stuff
Spoilers: I hope none. I'm going to try and link all the things we already know together and make a really cool fic. But I have to add something of my own in it, you'll find out what it is this chapter. How long I'm going to carry this on for I don't know. Probably until Lily and James's tragic night.
Other Notes: This is my first Lily and James fic that I do on my own. My other story I co-write with my friend, I should really convert that onto my other account that is for me and two of my friends but that would acquire lots of effort so just ignore it. Points of view will change so be prepared for almost anything. I'm going to try really hard on this and hopefully I'll like the end result. I leave for Europe on June 19th and come back July 10th so don't expect any posts between that time. Please review and tell me what you think. I might put suggestions in the story. Also, I would appreciate it if you told other people about it. Thank you for reading this now enjoy the story.

Chapter One: The Letter
Lily Evans is a pretty average girl…. On the outside. She is a bit over average height, has long, red, naturally wavy hair, but she has amazing green eyes that she loves most about herself. Now as for her personality, that's a different story. She loves to read, mostly fantasy about magic. She doesn't have much of an interest of dating boys. She loves pulling pranks and is very smart. Her parents are so proud of her. She is always involved. She plays flute and guitar(AN: I'm putting too much of me in her, but that's ok.) and is in choir. Her choir and band instructors tell her she has a great talent for music. All Lily ever wanted was to have a bit of adventure. Like in the books she reads. What she most desperately wanted was to be a witch.
Lily's older sister Petunia was very mean to her. Some people thought it was because she was jealous of Lily. Lily had lots of friends(only some were very good) and was usually happy(not to mention hyper) But on the other hand, Petunia only had three best friends. She was picked on more than Lily and didn't get as much praise from their parents. Petunia seemed to not mind, but she knew deep down that she did. She just didn't want to admit it, and in her whole life she never did.
One fine summer morning Lily woke up to what she thought would be just another normal birthday. But she was very wrong. She just lied in bed for about 20 minutes. When she finally decided to get up, she changed into her bathing suit(she was going to have a pool party at her house for her birthday and have her friends spend the night) and put some shorts over it. I wonder when Petunia will be leaving today. I think she said she was going over Lisa's house around noon. That'll be good, that party doesn't start till 2:00. Perfect. Lily thought. When she was done with her normal morning routine, she went downstairs for breakfast.
When she entered the kitchen she noticed everyone else was up. "Good morning, Lily! Sleep well?" her mother asked. "Morning mum. I slept quite well actually," she responded. "That's good. Are you ready for today?" Her father said. "I am, but the question is, are you and mum?" she said. Her parents just laughed.
"Petunia, what time are you leaving at again? I don't remember what time you said," she asked her sister. "I'll be gone at noon but I don't know what time I'll be coming back," Petunia responded a bit rudely. "Right," Lily said.
"Lily, dear, would you mind getting the post? I'm a bit tied up with breakfast. Don't forget the paper for your father," he mother said. "Yes mum, I'll be right back," she said. She got back out of her chair and went outside to get the post and the newspaper. She got the newspaper first then she grabbed the post and looked through it. There's some junk mail, a letter from her grandmother, and …..a letter for Lily? Lily hardly ever got any letters. She was so eager to open it she had to restrain herself from running into the house. When she got in, she set the paper down in front of her father who said 'thank you' when she did, set the other letters down on the counter and sat down in a chair and started to open her letter. It read:
HOGWARTS SCHOOL
of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY
Headmaster: ALBUS DUMBLEDORE
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock,
Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. Of Wizards)
Dear Miss Evans,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Lily had to strain herself very much from not squealing with delight after reading that. She read on.
Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September 1. We await your owl no later tan July 31.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress
Lily couldn't hold it in anymore. She was squealing with delight and everyone was staring at her. Her father was the first to speak up, "Lily, what is it? What does that letter say?" Lily couldn't answer so se handed him the letter and her mother came over and the both read it.
"Oh Lily, your a witch! We're so proud! This is so wonderful!" her mother ran over to her and hugged her as did her father. Petunia then picked up the letter and looked at it in disgust. I always knew she was a freak she thought.
(AN: ok, here's the part I had to add in) Her mother looked at her father and he nodded. They seemed to have been thinking the same thing. Finally her mother said, "Girls, your father and I have a confession to make. I'm a witch and he's a wizard. We never told you because both of our blood is known to have squibs and we didn't want to raise you magically then you find out that you had no magic. Petunia is a perfect example. She didn't get a letter 3 years ago which means she's a squib."
Petunia looked murderous. Lily knew that she was highly upset but she herself couldn't have been happier. Petunia was probably miserable now. Serves her right! Lily thought.
"I WANT NOTHING MORE TO DO WITH YOU ALL!!! I HATE YOU!! ALL OF YOU!!!" Petunia roared and then ran up to her room. "Petunia, wait!" her mother called after her but a door could be heard slamming and it was probably locked. "She'll come to her senses soon dear, don't worry," her father reassured her.
Lily suddenly asked, "What's a squib?" Her parents turned their attention over to her. Her father said, "A witch or wizard who can't perform magic. Holy Cricket! We have so much to teach you!"
They all went back into the kitchen and while her mother finished breakfast her father started explaining things to her. She couldn't wait to enter Diagon Alley just to get a taste of the Wizarding World before Hogwarts.
~What was happening at the Potter residence while
all this was going on? Let's find out, shall we?~
James Potter was not just any other wizard boy. Only he didn't know it. There were a few things about him that he himself didn't know. But you'll find all that out later. His father was an Auror(AN: not sure on the spelling, don't feel like going to get volume 4 of the bible either) and his mother was a homemaker. They had quite a lot of money and lived in a mansion. But James was NOT a poor little rich boy. His best friend, Sirius Black, would agree. They were always playing pranks on people.
James awoke like any other day. He got dressed, yatta, yatta. When he went downstairs to breakfast he saw that two owls were awaiting him. He recognized one as Sirius's. I'll go see what Sirius's reply was first. Then I'll see what the other one is. James thought. He untied the letter on Sirius's owl and read it. It said:
James,
Great to here from ya! My mum said that I can spend the last week of summer at your house. Guess what!! I got my letter this morning. Did you? Well write me back and then we can start to plan what we're going to do.
Later,
Sirius
COOL! He's going to Hogwarts, that has to be what the other owl brought me! James thought excitedly. He went over to the other owl and surely, it had a letter accepting him into Hogwarts. "YES!!!!!!" he screamed. He knew he would get into Hogwarts but to actually know he was going made it so much better.
His mother came into the kitchen just then. "James, what are you yelling for?" she asked him. "I got my letter mum!! And Sirius said that he could stay at the end of summer and that he got his letter, too," he told her. "That's wonderful. Owl Sirius back asking him if he can go to Diagon Alley with tomorrow. Then you two and his mother and I can plan everything out," she said.
So James went and wrote his letter to Sirius and got a reply saying that he could meet them. Now what am I going to do until 2:00 tomorrow? Oh, well, I'll think of something. James thought.
And that ends chapter one. Please review! I really do love it when people do, it gives me a reason to continue. Spread the word to your friends or anyone really! It is highly appreciated.
