Chapter 1 – Last of the Summer Nights
A white cat prowled the gardens of number 4, Privet Drive as a young girl with flaming red
hair sat on her bedroom window, in search of a breeze. Her resilient bottle green eyes had shown
through the unbearable heat as they softly rested upon her snow white cat. Although she was
quite tired her sister's snores immediately pulled her away under the sheets of her bed. Lily Evans
was now at her 7th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her sister who she loathed
went to a horrible muggle school called Smeltings, where she supposedly met the love of her life
Vernon Dursley. They have now been dating 2 years and according to Petunia, he will be asking
her to marry. Lily was not one to keep grudges let alone loath people, but she had made an
exception for Petunia who constantly called her a freak for her . . . academic achievements. Lily
lied awake in bed trying as hard as she could to fall asleep in case her sister awoke and saw her up
past her bed time. If she saw Lily she surely would make a federal case out of it, waking the whole
house for the mischief being caused when there was none to be found. But the problem was
there was no way Lily could fall asleep through her excitement. This would be her last and final
year at Hogwarts, which now was like her second home. She was quite popular at Hogwarts and
was always a perfectionist in classes which led to deem her as Head Girl. She was not looking
forward to the fact that it was her last year no, she just wanted to know who was Head boy this
year. Her nervousness deprived her of sleep the rest of the night thinking of her duties as Head Girl
and how she would have to deal with not only those duties but N.E.W.T.S at the end of the year.

Just 2 towns away 2 17 year old boys were laughing at their attempts to beat the crap out
of each other. Sirius Black leapt off the bed and tackled the young, handsome James Potter to
the floor, claiming victory until James stuck a lap shade on his head. The 2 laughed perpetually
until a yell from James' parents shut them up.
"Man we really out did ourselves Padfoot." James chuckled.
"Yes Mr. Prongs, I must say getting all this mess up will be a bit of a bitch."
He said as gentlemen like as possible.
James replied with mock fear, "Bitch?! Lily? Where?!"
Sirius laughed, "Aw c'mon Jamesy dear, this is your year with her. She's bound to fall for
your charm." Sirius said flashed his eyelashes sweetly as James caught the sarcasm.
"I wish Lily would see that we were really meant to be . . ." James said mournfully as he
picked up some of the clothes lying on the floor.
"Ok then Robert Frost, why don't we fix that?"
