"Lily!" Lily Evans heard one of her best friends, Janelle Zuri, scream as
Lily approached the Hogwarts Express. Lily Evans, a red-haired and
astonishingly green-eyed girl, was heading back to her seventh and last
year of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"Hey Janelle!" Lily shouted excitedly as she approached her friend to hug her. Janelle Zuri was freckled, brown-haired girl, known to some people as Elle. "How was your summer?" asked Janelle eagerly.
"Well Petunia was a right little pain in the arse, but besides that, it was great!" Lily answered, causing Janelle to laugh. "How was yours Elle?"
"Oh it was nice," said Janelle. "I met a boy at the beach, but it was just a one-time thing," she said. "What was a one-time thing?" said a girl approaching them.
"Kioko!" Lily and Janelle screamed, greeting their friend. "I know, I am loved so much," she said. Lily laughed at her friend. Kioko Tadashi, a pretty girl with long, black hair, was the one known to always brighten up the saddest moments.
"How was Japan?" Janelle asked Kioko. "Oh it was fabulous!" replied Kioko, her eyes lighting up, "I got to see all of my family and the city is beautiful!" She paused, and looked around.
"Where is Brenda?" she asked. "You rang?" came a voice from behind them. "Brenda!" said three exited voices. Brenda Donitan, a tall, blonde girl, laughed as her three friends went to hug her.
"I'm glad to see you guys, too!" she said grinning. The others laughed. Kioko suddenly looked up at the clock. "You guys the train leaves in 10 minutes. Let's get on so we can have a compartment to ourselves," she announced.
The others agreed, so they all picked up their luggage and headed onto the train. While they were walking down the hall, they ran into Sirius Black, a tall handsome boy. Lily rolled her eyes. Sirius was a friend of James Potter, and a friend of James........was not a friend of Lily.
Lily absolutely despised James Potter, and said that he was the most egotistical jerk she had ever met. It's not really like anyone could blame Lily; she was actually quite right. James Potter had about a different girl friend every week, and he walked around the walls of Hogwarts like he owned the place, cursing anyone who got on his nerves just to show off. He may have looked good with his blue eyes and messy – but cute – jet black hair, but that didn't make up for the way he acted.
Janelle, Kioko, and Brenda felt the same way about James as Lily did. They didn't really mind Sirius however; well, at least Brenda didn't. "Oh hi Sirius!" she said cheerfully when he approached them. "Hey Brenda," Sirius said, smiling at her, "good summer?"
Brenda smiled. "Yeah, it was great! You?" Sirius nodded. "It was alright. Well – er – I'll see you at dinner then," he said, and with that, he winked at her and walked off. Brenda sighed loudly. Lily observed that she had her day dreaming face on, and, grinning evilly, she stepped on Brenda's foot.
"Ow! What was that for?" Brenda said sounding irritated. "Nothing, she just had to get you out of Sirius land," said Kioko smirking. "Exactly," said Lily as though it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"What? What are you trying to say?" said Brenda. "Uh....that you fancy Sirius? Duh!" said Janelle. Brenda blushed furiously. "What? No I don't! Why would you think that?" The other three girls just smirked at her and then walked into the compartment. Brenda rolled her eyes, threw her hands up in the air, and followed them.
Once Lily had stowed her trunk, she left the compartment to go to the bathroom down the hall. On the way, she bumped into someone and fell to the floor. "Oh, I'm sorry," said a deep, male voice giving Lily his hand to help her up.
"Oh it's quite alri-," began Lily, but she stopped when she looked up to see who it was. It was James Potter, the very person she loathed the most. "Potter," she said rolling her eyes. "Oh hi Lily! Did you have a nice summer?" James asked almost......politely? Lily stared at James. Something was different about him.
Then Lily spoke, realizing James was waiting for her to answer. "Yeah," she said curtly. "Okay, well, I'll see you at dinner then," James said, smiling at her and walking away. Puzzled, Lily began walking back to her compartment, but then she stopped.
What was up with James? He had called her Lily, instead of Evans, and he had acted – well – politely. And he didn't even beg her to go out with him this time, like he normally did (and which Lily found totally annoying). There was something different about James. She could see it in his eyes; they had looked empty, and miserable, instead of having the mischievous glint that they normally had. What had happened to him?
Lily began walking to her compartment again, realizing she had just been standing in the middle of the hallway, probably looking rather stupid. Right before she was about to enter her compartment, she ran into someone and fell on the floor again. She rolled her eyes. *Second time my butt has been on the train floor today* she thought to herself.
"Potter that is the second time you have knocked me over today!" Lily said annoyed, standing up. But then blushed when she looked up to see that the boy standing in front of her was not James Potter. It was Emmett Richards, the handsome Ravenclaw boy that Lily had fancied since 5th year.
"Oh gosh! Sorry I thought you were someone else," Lily said apologetically. To her relief Emmett just laughed. "It's alright. I can understand that it must be annoying falling on your butt twice in the same day," he said grinning. Lily smiled at him.
"Well, I hope to see you later than, Lily," said Emmett smiling at her. "Okay then," said Lily. Wow! He had even known her name! And she didn't think she had told him. Maybe he could like her! Lily Richards. It had a nice ring to it.....
Lily snapped out of her daydreams and tried not to grin when she saw three familiar faces peering out of her compartment window. She opened the door to the compartment, and Brenda, Kioko, and Janelle all began to fire questions at her.
"What did he say?!"
"Did he ask you out?"
"What happened?"
Lily just smiled at the three of them and walked over to one of the seats and stared out the window. She spent the rest of the train ride dreaming about being Mrs. Emmett Richards, wondering what was wrong with James – I mean Potter – and listening to Kioko and Brenda playing exploding snap.
When the loud voice rang over the train and informed all the students that they would be arriving at school in five minutes, the four girls jumped up. None of them had been watching the time. Lily had been staring out the window, Janelle was asleep, and Kioko and Brenda were playing cards.
They all quickly opened their trunks and hurriedly put their uniforms on. Lily proudly pinned her Head Girl badge onto her cloak.
When the girls entered into the hall, they unfortunately ran into Vanessa Elsa, who was Lily's archrival. "Well, now I know who got the Head Girl badge," said Vanessa in her cold, drawling voice.
"Wow! Way to go Vanessa!" said Kioko sarcastically. Janelle and Brenda laughed, but Lily was too busy glaring at Vanessa, who in turn was glaring at Kioko. Kioko just smirked at her.
"Although I don't know why I didn't get the badge when I should have. I can't understand why a mudblood would get to be Head Girl. They're worthless people who can't do anything. Am I right, Olivia?" Vanessa said, addressing one of her tag-a-longs.
Olivia took the time to giggle feverishly, and than nodded her head. "Totally, Vanessa! As always!" Surprisingly, Lily just smiled.
"Vanessa, dear, don't you have anything better? I get the same comment from you every day about me being a mudblood. Are you too dim to think up anything better than that?" Lily asked her. Vanessa flushed.
Then Lily glanced piteously at Olivia. "You know, I just think it is so sad that you follow this girl around and act like you are her dog or something. Can't you just get your own life? And if you're going to follow someone around, I would advise finding someone better than Vanessa over here," Lily said nodding her head at Vanessa.
"Come on, girls, let's get out of here," said Vanessa angrily. Lily just grinned. "Tata!" said Kioko waving her hand. Vanessa rolled her eyes, and told her friends (dogs) to follow her.
After they left, Brenda started laughing. "What?" Lily asked curiously. "That girl is pitiful, and I just found what you said funny," said Brenda, smiling. "Yeah Lils you told her off," said Janelle looking proud. "Well I'm just sick of hearing that mudblood remark from her every single day. It doesn't even bother me anymore," Lily said. The others laughed.
***********************************************************************
At dinner, after Zeernan, Mark, was sorted into Ravenclaw, Dumbledore stood up. "I have a couple of announcements to make," he said addressing everyone in the Great Hall. First of all, I would like to announce the new Head Boy and Head Girl of Hogwarts."
Lily looked up eagerly. She was curious to know who the Head Boy was going to be. Maybe, if she was lucky, it would be Emmett. "The new Head Girl of Hogwarts is Lily Evans," Dumbledore announced. Lily stood up and smiled at everyone. She grinned in spite of herself when everyone applauded her.
"And the Head Boy of Hogwarts will be.....James Potter." Lily was stunned, and she was not alone. How could James Potter, the troublemaker, get to be Head Boy?! Lily had expected him to stand up cockily and take a bunch of bows, or do something else to get people to laugh, but he didn't.
He stood up, smiled – in a sort of, well, cute kind of way – no wait, what was she saying? James Potter was not cute. No. Definitely not. And then he sat back down. What the hell was going on with him? Lily was completely confused.
Then, noticing she was still standing, she quickly blushed and sat down. Lily pretended to listen to the rest of Dumbledore's speech, but her mind was other places. What was going on with James? What had happened?
Suddenly food appeared on the table. Lily, who wasn't paying attention, jumped, but quickly recovered and reached for a roll. Halfway through the meal, Severus Snape, who was giggling madly, stood up on his table, and began to dance. Several people began to roar.
He was now wearing a bright pink dress, and singing Mariah Carey's "Heartbreaker" song in a high-pitched voice. Lily looked over and saw James's friends laughing hysterically. Lily glared at them. She was about to jump up and do something to put Snape out of his embarrassment, but to her surprise, James jumped up and lifted the curse off of him.
Professor McGonagall rushed over to their table and screamed out "POTTER! I EXPECT YOU TO BE A BETTER EXAMPLE AS HEAD BOY!! DETENTION!" furiously. James nodded and sat back down. Lily was satisfied now. He deserved it after what he had done to Snape.
When dinner was over, Lily told her friends that she would meet them up in the common room, because she had to go tell all the prefects that they were supposed to lead the first years up to Gryffendor tower.
Once she had informed all the prefects, she herself headed up to Gryffendor Tower. When she was on the stairs she heard someone calling out her name. She stopped and turned around. Upon seeing that it was James, she ignored him and continued walking.
"Lily! Hey Lily! Lily please wait!" shouted James. Lily sighed, and stopped at the top of the stairs. She folded her arms and tapped her foot impatiently while she waited for James to catch up with her.
"What Potter?" she said coldly before James could utter a single word. "I just wanted to say that it'll be fun working together this year and-," began James, but Lily interrupted.
"POTTER HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO WORK WITH YOU THIS YEAR WHEN YOU ACT LIKE SUCH AN IMMATURE JERK! YOU ARE SO EGOTISTICAL!" Lily screamed.
"Lily I-," James said, but Lily interrupted him again. "AND HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO SNAPE? LOOK I KNOW HE'S NO PICNIC BUT HOW CAN YOU BE THAT CRUEL JUST TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE LAUGH? POTTER YOU ARE SUCH AN INCONSIDERATE TOERAG!!"
"Lily, listen I didn't-," James began. "NO POTTER I'M NOT GOING TO LISTEN! NOW GET OUT OF MY FACE!" Lily screamed. James looked crestfallen. He began to slowly walk up the stairs, and Lily watched him, still fuming.
Then she herself started to head up the stairs. Again, someone started calling her name. Lily sighed. "What now?" she said, more to herself.
It was Sirius. "What do you want?" Lily asked him rudely. "Listen, Lily I couldn't help overhearing yours and James's little – er – row," said Sirius. "I bet you could have," Lily told him rolling her eyes.
Sirius chose to ignore her last comment. "I just wanted you to know that James had nothing to do with the Snape incident. He didn't even know that we were planning it. It was me and Peter. He just lifted the spell of Snape because he was able to guess what curse we had used. I'm sorry; we shouldn't have done it. I just thought I'd tell you because I didn't think it was right for you to yell at James when he was actually the one who defended Snape," he said.
With that Sirius headed down the hall, and left Lily standing there, feeling like the most horrible person ever.

Tada!! So guys....what'd you think? I would appreciate it if you would tell me whether you wanted me to continue this or not in a review!!!
