Chapter 1
Lily Rose Evans stared in awe at all the things around her. She was at Diagon Alley, buying all her new stuff. There was absolutely everything for Witches/Wizards.
"Mom, I'll be over there," she said, looking at the places all around her.
"Ok honey,"she said looking just like her.
Lily saw two boys playing with something and laughing at each other. They were outside a place with all different kinds of brooms.
Sunshine 250....Starflyer 500
"Hey,"one of them said. "You're a first year, right?" he asked.
Nimbus 1990...Stars Shooter 900
"Yeah, Lily replied, looking at the brooms.
Red Rose 1000...Blue Speed 450...Red Dragon 1500
"I'm James Potter, and this is my friend, Sirius Black. We're 2nd years," he said clapping her on the back. Sirius and James started laughing hysterically.
Lily knew they were uo to something. She turned her head enough to see a flashing sign saying, "I'm a loser" then to "So kick me!" and then stopped and started over. Before she could say anything back, her mom came and said, "Oh honey. I just met a lovely woman who has a son one year older than you. Mrs. Potter, I believe," she said.
"Really?" asked Lily, cheering up.
"Hi, I'm James Potter," the boy said and introduced himself to her as nice and kind as possible. They had a long conversation until James' mom came.
"James, Sirius, ready to go?" Mrs. Potter asked.
"Yeah, mom. I'm ready."
"Nice meeting you Lila," Mrs. Potter said.
"You too, Jamie," Mrs. Evans said. (A/N: See how I made it sound like their daughter/son real names??)
************ ************ ************ ************ ************
Lily was standing alone at Kings Cross Station. Her mother left for work with her dad, and her stupid older sister did not want to hang around "freaks" so she would be "normal".
She saw some people with carts just like her and a few had owls. And one of them had a wand! She watched closely as one guy just ran through the barrier. And vanished! Everyone else did the same.
Lily got in line, and when it was her turn, she closed her eyes and ran through.
Oh, I'm in for it now. I'll make a big huge mess, and everyone'll get mad at me, Lily thought to herself, eyes still closed.
But amazingly, she didn't crash. She just went on going and opened her eyes.
"Oooohh. It's Lily," said a cheerful voice that sounded too much like that boy she met yesterday, Sirius. But not only were there two people, there were two other people, Peter Pettigrew (who seemed to loathe her) and Remus Lupin.
"I guess you didn't know about the barrier," said James.
"Shut up, Potter."
"Since when have I been 'Potter'," James said.
The train suddenly whistled.
"Let's go," James said to them.
James, Remus, Sirius, and Peter sat down rather comfortably until the door to their compartment swung open.
Standing there, looking really disgusted, was Lily.
"What are you doing, Evans," James said.
"Since when have I been Evans," she said.
"Since I said so."
"All the seats have been taken. I have to sit with you guys."
James was just about to start an argument when a lady came with a food cart. "Not fighting, I hope," she said.
"No," Lily replied as she got a few of everything and started eating some.
"Man," said Sirius, watching Lily eat, "James is the usual pig around here."
"No, it's you who's the pig Sirius," James said.
There was a sudden argument, and Lily slapped Sirius and Sirius slapped James.
A few fights and a black eye later, they reached Hogwarts. Lily was so nervous, she couldn't help but shake.
"Firs years, firs years. Firs years, over 'ere," a huge man said.
Lily followed a ton of people, all the way to the lake.
"Bye carrot stick Evans," said none other as James as he laughed.
One of the things Lily didn't like was deep water. She always got scared of drowning because she never learned how to swim. She was also scared of heights. She took a deep breath and stepped inside. The boat rocked a bit as she stepped in. She had to sit by a girl with long, curly eyelashes and blonde hair. The girl dropped something like a clip. Lily scooted down to pick it up for her.
"Thanks! Hi, I'm Amanda Dermsten. I'm a halfblood. My mom's a witch and my dad's a muggle," she said.
"Hi! I'm Lily Rose Evans, nice to meet you! I'm a muggle," Lily said as the started rowing across.
"Geez, there sure are a lot of flowers in your name!" Amanda exclaimed.
They laughed together for a few minutes.
"So, what house do you want to be in?" Amanda asked.
"Anywhere, except where James Potter is. Man, I sure do hate him," Lily said.
"THE James Potter. Oh my gosh! He's like, the most famous wizard in school! Even ask my sister, Ashley. She's in the same house as him, and she totally goes nuts when he walks by. You should see her diary:
'My love to be,
Is sweet forever.
And everyone will see,
How good we will be ever.'
Blah blah blah. Man, she has 10 books of that kind of crap!" Amanda exclaimed.
They reached the shore and two girls were atanding behind her.
"Hi! I'm Claire Maria Johennsen, and this is my best friend, Miranda Cordiltsy. We can't wait to get in, can you?" she asked. "Miranda is a pureblood, and I'm a Muggle born."
"I'm Lily Rose Evans, and I'm a Muggle-Born. I know, I know. There are flowers in my name."
They giggled together for a minute.
Hey, i guess it won't be too bad. I'm already making new friends! Lily thought happily.
"Welcome to Hogwarts," said a stern looking woman. "I am Professor McGonagall, deputy headmistress and also Transfiguration teacher. You will listen to my commands, got that?"
Everyone shook there heads.
"Good, now, follow me."
She lead them to a room filled with a ton of people. Everyone stared at a dusty, dirty, patched up hat. SHe didn't know what was so important until:
"Welcome to Hogwarts,
For Magic kinds of folk.
Magical people go here,
And for their right they spoke.
This is the safest place,
You could ever be.
I'll sort you up to the right rooms,
SO listen to me.
Gryffindors were for people very bold,
They were nice brave and smart.
And they could do almost anything,
People have been told.
There is also Ravenclaw,
Where they are very smart.
Their intelligence,
Had helped them do their part.
Or how about Hufflepuff,
Where they are very truthful,
Their honest, loyal minds,
Has made their part very useful.
Maybe you belong in Slytherin,
For they are very sly.
Those cunning folks,
Can slip right by.
So, try me on,
Go ahead.
I'll see what's in your mind,
And what's going on in your head.
Hogwarts is very safe,
and also very fine.
Don't worry, relax.
This place is fulll of your kind."
Everyone clapped, then silenced.
"We only have to try on the hat, Amanda," Lily whispered.
"Yeah, but it's the whole school watching here. I mean, we could go to a really bad house, like Slyhterin," Amanda whispered back.
"You have a point."
"When I call your name you are to put the hat on your head then go to the area you are informed to go to," Professor McGonagall said.
Lily didn't listen to the names until:
"Miranda, Cordiltsy. 'Gryffindor!'
She smiled as Miranda walked to the Gryffindor table.
A a Hufflepuff, a Ravenclaw, and two Slytherins later (and Amanda being in Gryffindor), Lily heard her name called.
"Evans, Lily."
She put the hat on her head.
'I see. A little need to speak for yourself. You always stand up to people. Mmmm.. a very good mind, I can see. I know where you belong,' the hat said quietly.
Anywhere, but where James is, Lily thought.
Sorry, but James is also in 'Gryffindor!', the hat yelled.
Lily went crossly but glad she had some friends in Gryffindor.
Lily didn't notice who she sat by, she didn't even care who it was.
"Guess you're in my house, Carrothead," someone laughed.
"No!" Lily exclaimed. She turned around. "You're sitting right by me, I think I'm gonna be sick."
"Just make sure you don't throw up on me," James said. "I really thought you were gonna be a Slytherin."
Lily tried to focus on the sortings, but James and his friends were
laughing. She knew something was up.
"Okay, what did you do this time, James?" she asked.
"Me, do something to you? Why would I do that?" he responded.
Lily looked at her back. "I'm a Carrothead!" was flashing different colors. Lily was about to say something when..
"Claire Johennsen."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Claire rant to sit in an extra seat by Lily. "Isn't it great! We get to be in the same house!" she exclaimed.
"Claire, where's Amanda?" Lily asked.
Claire kept giggling. When she finally controlled herself, she pointed to Amanda. Lily looked and her jaw dropped open. Amanda was sitting by Sirius, and they were FLIRTING! Flirting with that stupid guy's best friend! Was she insane?????
Amanda suddenly turned to Lily. She saw the look on her face, told something to Sirius, and went toward Lily.
"What were you doing???" Lily asked. "Are you crazy??"
"Yeah, b-b-but I couldn't help it, honestly!" Amanda exclaimed.
"Well....." Lily always felt bad for people like that. "Okay. You can go talk to him," she said, which made Amanda perk up and really happy.
"Ohh Sirius."
Lily smiled at her happy friend.
Lily looked at Claire. She had wavy red hair that was past her shoulder, but not to long. Claire put her hair always clipped to the side. Her hazel eyes were looking at Remus, and Remus was looking at her.
"Umm, Lily. Can I go..."
"YES!" Lily exclaimed. She laughed a kind of happy/mad laugh. Both her friends liked someone of James' group, but it made them really happy. The only one left was Miranda, and she didn't talk to her that much. SHe already knew her best friend would be Amanda.
Miranda sat down quietly next to Lily. Miranda had curly brown hair that was shoulder length, and she had big, blue eyes.
"Hi!" Lily exclaimed.
"Oh hey," she said.
"Why don't you talk?" Lily asked.
"Well, I'm a shy girl. I used to be loud and talk a lot, but ever since-since m-my parents' d-d-death..." Miranda started crying.
"When??" asked Lily, concerned.
"Two w-w-weeks ago," she said, sobbing.
Lily kept patting her on the back and muttering little things now and then, like "Yeah, I know" and "He is so terrible" and "I'm so sorry."
Dumbledore went up to the stage.
"I hope you are all well fed. Here are the announcments. We will be having a start of the year ball. A muggle one, in fact. We will be going to a Muggle dancing ball, and you will have to dress as a Muggle. We keep having questions, so yes, we are having one on September 15. A start of the year dance. Quidditch tryouts are September 25. Gryffindor will go to Jon quendit, Ravenclaw Ramona Asalti, Hufflepuff Cara Minsit, and Slytherin Carl Minolti. The Forbidden FOrest is out-of-bounds, as you all know. And that is all."
After everyone had dessert, they all went to their common rooms.
After saying the password (baldiswich) they went to their dorms. James and his pals were sitting on the big sofa (with Amanda and Claire) and James soon fell asleep on the couch with his buddies. Amanda and Claire went up to their dorm, where they all had fun and talked.
Lily soon fell asleep.
*********************************************************************
'No! Not Harry. PLEASE.'
'Stand aside girl.'
'NO!'
'Avada Kedavera!!'
Lily woke up screaming.
"Lily, are you alright?" asked Claire.
"Yeah, you were like, screaming, like Harry! Like, who's Harry." said a girl named Arial Salazar.
"Who's Harry?"
Everyone started to gather around Lily. It was still dark, but Lily's screaming had woke them up.
"It was a nightmare. Everyone go back to sleep," Amanda said sternly.
Lily was gald for her best friend's support. She smiled at Amanda, who smiled back at her.
Everyone got back to bed and fell asleep. But Lily couldn't. SHe just couldn't. SHe was scared of that dream, and she didn't wanna have to think about it. It was just to freaky.
********* ********* ********* ********* ********** ********** *********
Lily was still up the next morning, so she decided to get ready first. She took a long bath, and then fixed her hair. Then she put on her robes and went to brush her teeth, suprised to see James was awake and dressed before her on the couch.
"What are you doing up so early?" Lily asked.
"None of you business."
"Shut up."
"You!"
"You!"
"Will YOU guys shut up??" asked Sirius who was walking in. "I think you should stop fighting. I mean, you're a good couple," he said.
"SHUT UP, SIRIUS!!!" they both said together and had another argument.
"To be so young and in love," Sirius said in a dreamy voice. "So, James. Who are you going with to the Muggle dance?" Sirius asked.
"Probably Jo Chang. I mean, she's pretty, and I see the way she looks at me."
"How 'bout you Lil?" asked Sirius.
"Umm, I don't know. I mean, we have a lot of time to think. And I need more time to meet people."
"But I'm going with Amanda, and Claire is going with Remus. Peter is going with Miranda and James is going with Jo. Maybe we can hook you up. I mean, all of us have our partners."
"NO!"
"Come on Lil! I'll promise James wont' be THAT bad!"
James looked over at Sirius and gave him a long, cold stare.
"Oookay, maybe that's not it. Come on Lily!"
"Yea, right. Like I'm gonna listen to you."
"Please, pl-please. Pretty please with ice cream and pudding and cake and sugar and sweets and food and---"
"Okay Sirius. Shut up, for crying out loud. You can hook me up."
"EXCELLENT!" James and Sirius said together.
Remus walked down the stirs, fully dressed. "I didn't just hear what I thought, did I?" asked Remus with a mishievious smile.
Amanda, Claire, and Miranda walked downstairs.
"What's up with the excitement?" asked Claire.
"We're hooking up Lilster!"
"Lily?" aked Miranda, raising her eyebrows.
"Well, you know them. They can't take no for an answer."
"Right...Come on. We're gonna miss all of our breakfast!" Sirius cried.
"All you ever think about is food," Claire said. "Don't you care about your diet?"
"Uhhh, no!"
The seven of them walked out quietly, not wanting to wake up Peter.
As they sat down, Lily coudn't help but look around. There were so many boys than she thought there would be.
"And he's killing Muggles, Claire and Lily are in trouble."
"Wha?" asked Lily.
"I said, Voldemort is killing Muggles, and you're in danger. He's really powerful, but he's scared of Dumbledore, for some reason," Sirus whispered.
Lily noticed that Remus, James, Amanda, Miranda, and Sirius flinched at the name, but Claire and her just sat there.
"VOlde-what?" asked Lily.
"Oh never mind."
Lily just wondered what could be wrong, what could be wrong.

"Probably Jo Chang. I mean, she's pretty, and I see the way she looks at me."
"How 'bout you Lil?" asked Sirius.
"Umm, I don't know. I mean, we have a lot of time to think. And I need more time to meet people."
"But I'm going with Amanda, and Claire is going with Remus. Peter is going with Miranda and James is going with Jo. Maybe we can hook you up. I mean, all of us have our partners."
"NO!"
"Come on Lil! I'll promise James wont' be THAT bad!"
James looked over at Sirius and gave him a long, cold stare.
"Oookay, maybe that's not it. Come on Lily!"
"Yea, right. Like I'm gonna listen to you."
"Please, pl-please. Pretty please with ice cream and pudding and cake and sugar and sweets and food and---"
"Okay Sirius. Shut up, for crying out loud. You can hook me up."
"EXCELLENT!" James and Sirius said together.
Remus walked down the stirs, fully dressed. "I didn't just hear what I thought, did I?" asked Remus with a mishievious smile.
Amanda, Claire, and Miranda walked downstairs.
"What's up with the excitement?" asked Claire.
"We're hooking up Lilster!"
"Lily?" aked Miranda, raising her eyebrows.
"Well, you know them. They can't take no for an answer."
"Right...Come on. We're gonna miss all of our breakfast!" Sirius cried.
"All you ever think about is food," Claire said. "Don't you care about your diet?"
"Uhhh, no!"
The seven of them walked out quietly, not wanting to wake up Peter.
As they sat down, Lily coudn't help but look around. There were so many boys than she thought there would be.
"And he's killing Muggles, Claire and Lily are in trouble."
"Wha?" asked Lily.
"I said, Voldemort is killing Muggles, and you're in danger. He's really powerful, but he's scared of Dumbledore, for some reason," Sirus whispered.
Lily noticed that Remus, James, Amanda, Miranda, and Sirius flinched at the name, but Claire and her just sat there.
"VOlde-what?" asked Lily.
"Oh never mind."
Lily just wondered what could be wrong, what could be wrong.
