Hey peeps- here's my j/l story- my 1st fanfic! It's about Lily's 6th year-
mostly concerning her and James. The j/l moments aren't in the first
chapter really- but they're on their way. Kind of brief now, but will get
better. Review and I'll update!
Rated PG-13 for snogging (I love that word), mild language, and thematic elements (just like in the movies- aka teen issues).
Ch. 1 A New Year
The whistle of the Hogwarts Express blew again. Lily Evans gave her parents a final kiss and ran to her compartment. As the train started off Lily sat down beside her best friend, Torri Cowatts. "Hey Torrs!" she greeted her. Then she noticed the other girl in the compartment, another friend, Marie Loterhad. "Hey Marie!" she exclaimed. Marie smiled in return but Torri gave her an odd look. "Lils, aren't you supposed to be in the prefect compartment?" Lily jumped up and with a vulgar word bolted from the compartment.
She made her way quickly through the other cars smiling and waving at people as she went. Suddenly she ran right into someone. She looked up into the grinning face of James Potter; he was accompanied by his best friend, Sirius Black. "Hey Evans," said James, sounding rather happy to see her.
"Hey Potter," she replied coolly. "You and your friend want to let me by?"
James and Sirius moved out of the way. "See you around Evans!" James shouted after her as she left.
The prefect's compartment was nearly full when Lily got there. She was pleased to see a friendly face in the sea of people and she took the empty seat beside Remus Lupin. Lily and Remus had been friends since their first or second year. Lily found him much more considerate then the rest of the Marauders, and she had actually had had an interesting conversation with him once or twice. It irked her though that he wasted his time hanging out with people like Sirius and James.
As she sat down Remus looked at her with a concerned face. "Hey Lily, are you O.K.?" For some reason she could feel her face rather flushed and she was a little shaky.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied, smiling. "What's going on here?"
"Nothing much yet," Remus responded. "I think they're about to take attendance."
Sure enough, at that moment there was a loud bang as the head boy shoot sparks out of his wand, signaling it was time to begin. A hushed swept over the compartment and the head boy and girl proceeded over the next hour to take attendance and inform them of their new duties as prefects. The rest of the ride Lily and Remus helped patrol the train and when they reached Hogwarts help the first years unboard.
Lily was exhausted by the time she finally sat down with her friends in the great hall. The sorting had just finished and Lily hadn't sat down since she got off the train. "Gosh, I'm tired!" she exclaimed in a half whining tone. "Where's the food?"
"Oh, quit whining," said Torri irritably.
"Gee, sorry for being a brat." Lily said sarcastically.
The argument ended as Professor Dumbledor, the headmaster, stood at the front table to address the students. "Greetings students. Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I expect you to have lots of fun this year! I won't drone on, all I would like to say is: eat! The girls were so hungry that they didn't get a chance to talk until they had retired to their dormitories for bed.
As soon as they were in their pajamas Lily beckoned Torri to come sit down on her bed. They began to talk excitedly about their summers. Soon they were both laughing. Lily looked around the room. "It's good to be back," she said seriously. " I was ready to kill Petunia!"
Torri laughed and looked around the room too. Her eyes rested on Marie. Then she looked at Lily who nodded. "Hey Marie!" Torri whispered loudly waving for her to join them on the bed. She joined them and told them all about her summer.
Finally Torri turned to Lily. "Hey Lils, have you talked to James yet?"
Lily glared at her friend, but she couldn't help feeling her stomach fluttering oddly. "Surely you'll go out with him this year," Torri teased.
"He was staring at you all through dinner," Marie added.
"He is so gross! I would never go out with him!" cried Torri.
Lily was blushing. "Why would anyone go out with that stupid arrogant git?" she exclaimed. "Could we change the subject now?" "You know what I heard. Amos Diggory likes you!" Torri told Marie. The other two discussed Amos's faults and attributions and then began to talk about a third year girl who had recently broken out with acne all over her forehead. Lily lay back on her pillow and, yawning, closed her eyes. She was tired and wanted to sleep. Besides, she hated it when her friends talked about people. They never had anything nice to say. Gossiping made her feel guilty and mean. She couldn't make them stop though; they already considered her a goody-to-shoes.
Lily tried to think about her classes and plans for the school year. Her summer holiday hadn't been great and she was glad to be back at Hogwarts. Next month was the first Hogsmeade visit of the year and the Halloween dance. She tried to concentrate, but her thoughts kept drifting back to James Potter.
/Actually,/ she thought, half asleep, /I can see why someone would date him. He's funny, smart, interesting, and he's cute. -What are you thinking!/ she jarred herself awake. /You're almost acting like you like him. Stop it!/ she told herself.
"Lily." Torri nudged her more awake.
"What?" she asked groggily, half opening her eyes.
"Are you ok?"
Lily nodded.
"We're going to bed now," Torri whispered.
"G'night," Lily mumbled, as she turned over and fell asleep.
