A/N: this story is going to basically be a bunch of James and Lily fluff. Also, I sadly do not own Harry Potter :'( if I did I would not be making fanfiction I would also be married to Sirius Black LOL
As another rolled up piece of paper hit my curly, red hair I didn't read this one. It was the tenth that had hit me in the past twenty minutes and I was trying to pay attention in History of Magic. Sure this is the absolute most boring class at Hogwarts, but I really don't want to read yet another letter from James Potter asking me out. In the beginning I had thought that James honestly liked me, he was so kind and he would always compliment me, but I soon came to realize he just liked to bug me. James and his friends who called themselves The Marauders would pick on me, my friends, and Severus. Severus Snape and I are no longer friends, but he was my first magical friend and though he is always calling me a mud-blood I can't help but stand up for him. Luckily this was my last year at Hogwarts and though I love it there so much, I was ready to never see James Potter and his shaggy, black hair ever again!
Another piece of paper hit my head and bounced off falling in front of headmaster, Dumbledore's feet. I blushed when he stooped down to pick up the paper, his long, white beard touching the ground. His bright, wise, eyes wrinkled with his smile as he read what James had written, "Miss Evans," he said handing me the paper, "James has something to say to you." This made me blush even hard and I knew that my face was matching the color of my hair at this point. Seeing my embarrassment he was kind enough to explain the reason he was in our class, "I need to talk to you Miss Evans," he said as he turned around and led me out of the classroom.
There were a few calls from my classmate's asking me what I did wrong, but I knew he was here to talk to me about a completely different matter. Once we were in the hallway with the door closed he began to speak, "As you must know your sister is getting married soon," he began, "and your parents asked my permission to allow you to leave school so that you can be there for her. They requested that you bring a classmate as a date. Is this all okay with you?" he asked me.
"Yeah, no problem." I said taking a deep breath as I began to think about who I would bring with me.
"Well, please give me the person's name by tonight, you leave in three days. Now, you may head back to class." He said in his usual kind voice and I hurried into the classroom. Once I was inside I put my head to my desk in frustration.
"What's wrong?" my friend Alice asked my with concern in her voice.
"I have to bring a date to my sister's wedding." I moaned back, we both knew that there was no one I could bring. I didn't have many guy friends because I was such a bookworm and the few guys I did know were either an ex-boyfriend of mine or boyfriend of one of my friends.
"What are you going to do?" Alice whispered back.
"I don't know," I sighed, "I'll probably say that I'm bringing someone and then make an excuse."
He three days went by fast, I tried to wrack my brain for a guy and I packed. Luckily I wasn't in the wedding so I didn't need a special dress, I also told my sister and mom that my date was going to be a day late. There is enough bad blood between Petunia and I cannot face her teasing that not even my "freak friends" want me.
"Bye!" Alice cried as she threw her arms around me. Frank, Alice's boyfriend, moved to hug me goodbye too and then my other friends began to hug me goodbye.
As a walked out of the portal and headed to Dumbledore's office I could hear my friends calling after me to remind me to write and think about them.
I dragged my stuff as I dreadfully made my way to the office, I would have to spend an entire week pretending to be really close with my sister and making excuse after excuse. I could already tell that this was going to be a long, hard week.
"Good you're here." Dumbledore said as I walked into his office, "Grab onto my arm, you are going to apparate beside me." I latched onto his arm and then I felt the familiar feeling of apparation. I had never liked it, but it was the best way to get places fast and it only lasted a little while.
"Can't you even come into a building in a normal fashion!" I heard my sister snap the second we arrived.
I looked over to see my professor's reaction, but he had already disappeared, "Petunia," I sighed already annoyed, "it was the fastest way, did you forget how far away my school is?"
She just snorted and left the room, before following her I let out an exasperated sigh and rolled my emerald green eyes. This is only the beginning.
"Lily!" my mum greeted me with a hug, "How was your trip?" I knew that she wouldn't understand that is what not really a trip, so I just said I was tired and headed up to my room. I spent the rest of the day lying in my bed trying to think up an excuse for why my date wouldn't show up.
"Lily!" I heard my dad yell, "Get up, the guests are going to be arriving soon!" we were having a small party in our lawn today. I rolled out of bed moaning and stumbling to my trunk.
I threw on a yellow dress that frilled out in a really cute way with a small brown belt and ended a little above my knees with brown ankle boots. The outfit looked good in my head, but when I looked in the mirror I realized that it was adorable. I then brushed my teeth and brushed my hair, making sure to take as long as I could.
