Lily Evans sat back onto her canopy bed and started the end of her
transfiguration essay. Lily had left it until the end of the holidays. She
hated transfiguration. Why is there always so much homework? She sucked on
her quill for a while, considering what to write.
Lily Potter was 16 years, and heading into the last years of Hogwarts Wizarding school. She had waist length auburn hair (which was getting lighter each summer) which she always wore in a braid. Her nose was cute and lightly freckled, but the most amazing thing about her were her eyes. They were emerald green and crystal clear; they were so expressive you could understand her without talking. She was wearing today bellbottom jeans with tied died flannel shirt. She had packed her best clothes in her trunk, ready for Hogwarts.
Finally exhausted with her homework she got up and went out to see Arabella Figg, (who lived a few streets down from her). They both went to wizarding school, but also went to the same elementary school. Arabella was so close to her that Lily thought of her as the sister she never had. Petunia, Lily's biological sister, loathed her with such passion, that Lily only thought of her as a tenant living in the same house as her.
The sun was beating down on her neck as she took a left, and began to walk up the pathway to Arabella's house. She could already Arabella up on the second floor. Arabella's house was summed up in one word- elegant. A three story house with the largest front yard you could imagine. However, this house wasn't out of the ordinary in this neighborhood. Everyone had grand house's, like it was a competition to have the best. Lily's house was similar, but it held no class. It was cozy, in a spacious way.
Lily knocked on the door, but it was open. She knew she was welcome around anytime. She stepped in through the door, and met Mrs. Figg in the kitchen. "Hi Lily, how are you?" Mrs. Figg asked as she hunted around for some eggs. "Oh, I'm good Mrs. Figg, and yourself?" Lily replied, trying to keep a straight face. Mrs. Figg had a neon sign trailing her that said 'I'm in the Navy'. Obviously Mrs. Figg didn't notice. "Fine, thanks. Bella's in her room." Bella was Arabella's nickname. The sign changed color. And Lily tried to stifle her laughs. "Thank you."
Lily bounded upstairs and walked into Bella's room. It was incredibly sunny. Bella sat on her bed, stroking her pet- Crookshanks. Bella had shoulder length blonde hair which was up in a barrette. Her blue eyes were piercing, and no one was better than Arabella at Denfense Against the Dark Arts. Today she wore a white cotton blouse over a white skirt. She looked angelic. "Hi Bella!" "Hi Lily!" said Bella jumping up and went to hug Lily. At that moment, Lily's tawny owl came at the window and flew over to Lily. "Oh, you're such a good owl, Athena," Lily said as she took off her message. "Here, have a.. uhhh..," at this point, Lily scrounged around in her pockets and found a rice cracker, "rice cracker." Athena nipped Lily's finger gently, and nestle in the corner of the room.
"Ooooo, what's that?" asked Arabella as Lily opened her letter. "It's from James!" she squeaked as she went to read it.
(A/N- do u guys want to know what it says. Really? Do u?) Dearest Lily, Missing you! Can't wait to get back at Hogwarts, and see you again. Padfoot here has (ssshh, don't tell ANYONE. On second thoughts tell everyone) a thing for Arabella Figg. * This is where Lily squealed in delight. It was only common knowledge that Arabella liked Sirius since 3rd year. * How were your holidays? Mine were fun, but it would have been a whole lot better with you. Anyway, as soon as I meet you on the Hogwarts Express, I have a little something for you. Once again missing you so much. With love- James. * This is where the letter got messy (presumably from Sirius) and was crossed out and re written Jamsie Poo *
James Potter (aka Prongs) was Lily's boyfriend. Had been since 2nd year. Him and the rest of the Marauders were considered royalty, and James was the king. James had messy black hair (which only added character said Lily many a time), deep chocolate eyes, and the cutest face which could have he most innocent look (only achieved when he was guilty). Even though many girls had major crushes on him, everyone knew he was off limits. Lily on the other hand was also off limits and extremely popular. She was part of the group called the Minxes. She, Arabella and two others- Emma Williams and Paige Lovejoy were royalty in the feminine sense. Everyone knew it. The rest of the Marauders were Remus Lupin (aka Moony), a cute guy with straw like hair, and the most sparkling grey eyes; Sirius Black (aka Padfoot), tall, fit brunette who was on the quidditch team along with James. He was also very cute; and Peter Pettigrew (aka Wormtail), he was nothing like the rest of the Marauders. Although he was cute, he was cute in a mousey way. He was short, chubby, and had absolutely no brains whatsoever. But whatever made the Marauders like him, was good enough for everyone else.
"Oh wow," said Bella as she finished reading the letter. "Do you think James is telling the truth?" "Of course he is. Sirius would be stupid not to like you," Lily said, walking up to Athena who was still in the corner. Lily hastily wrote a reply and sent it with Athena. 'I can't wait for the holidays to finish!" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Okay this is chapter one, and what do u guys think of it? Plz, plz, plz review. This is my first ever fanfic. I really hope you like it.
