AC: Hey I'm Slytherin'sSoul, this is my first story! Lily and James have been my favourite couple because it seemed impossible that they would get together. I'm still in school so don't judge me too badly, please! I hope you all enjoy reading it as I have writing it. I'm hoping to continue up to their deaths in one fan fiction because I find it annoying, as a reader, when you have to keep trying to find sequels among all the other fan fiction. Okay, hope you enjoy and please, please review all help accepted. SS x
'No mum mornings are bad coming only to ruin someone's sleep!' I moaned as my mother tried, with no result, to get me up on the first day of my summer holidays. 'Lily Evans you are getting up now and telling us about your year' she exclaimed bouncing on my bed slightly. 'No I bloody well am not! You know I sleep in!' I cried shoving my face deeper in my pillow. 'If you're not downstairs in ten minutes I'm getting your sister up here' she sung floating out my room. 'Yippee' I muttered sarcastically.
Once up I could never get back to sleep. I looked in my mirror opposite me and saw my red hair in messy curls and green eyes all red. My reflection stared at me accusingly as though it were my fault it got up so early. I checked my watch and saw it was only nine thirty. Nine thirty! I'm not usually up until eleven! I pulled off my singlet and shorts and pulled on a cleaner singlet and shorts before going downstairs to my family.
'About time you got up freak' Petunia said in greeting, 'morning Petal' dad smiled and mum just grinned. 'Okay story time!' she sung pushing a plate of pancakes and syrup in front of me. I didn't usually like syrup but this was my mum's special kind so I ate it without complaint. 'What do you want to know?' I asked and she glared at me.
'Okay sixth year, let's see... Well first day was the same as second, third, fourth and fifth. Boring, so was the first few months. Alice started dating a guy she's been after since third year. I learnt loads more spells. Rose had been disappearing by herself but it wasn't until yesterday that we found out all those days we spent looking for her were a waste as she sneaking into Hogsmeade with some Hufflepuff guy. Severus kept trying to warm up to me again and no mum I won't forgive him.
'We learnt to apparate and I passed that test, I think I sent you an owl... Juliet has left school her parents chose to teach her instead. Nothing much mum' I told her pathetically but she looked at me critically. 'If you left school would you be able to use magic?' she asked me excitedly. 'Yes. But I wouldn't be able to use it properly or in front of your friends' I told her and she frowned. Honestly, she got too excited that woman.
Petunia scowled at me as the doorbell rang and she hurried out to answer. 'Oh Vernon! What a surprise please come in!' I heard her cry and looked behind me at the door in confusion. 'Lily, Tuney's got a boyfriend called Vernon. He's a good chap so be nice' dad warned me as their arrival grew closer and louder. 'I'm always good daddy' I smiled cheekily at him and he rolled his eyes.
Okay so maybe I wasn't the best behaved kid at home, who cares? I'm a teenager I can be however I want to be. And I very strongly feel I was at perfect liberty to gasp when a trained whale walked through the door hand in flipper with my big sister. 'What is that?' I asked in a carrying whisper and Petunia and the whale glared at me.
'Is this the freak Petunia dear? I'm so sorry how poorly it turned out Mr. and Mrs. Evans, but I'm afraid nothing could repair what mistake that was' he told them and I choked in shock. It could talk! 'Petunia where is Vernon? I thought he was at the door or was that another guy called Vernon dropping off a whale?' I asked innocently and I heard dad sigh sadly. Good to know he knew some things would never change. What can I say once a witch always a witch?
'You freak! Stop being so awful. I'm sorry Vernon she's going even more bonkers than usual' she told him and he kissed her full on the mouth incredibly loudly. 'Mum do you have a bucket in which I can place my breakfast? It doesn't seem to want to stay down if we have to watch this' I said loudly and they broke apart. 'Oh good, it's over. Never mind' I smiled sweetly before prancing out the room.
I jumped right up the stairs and could hear dad following after me but pretended not to hear him. I swung my body onto my bed not noticing the owl that already occupied it. HOOT! It cried and I screamed loudly and got tangled up in my blankets on the way to the floor. 'Owl Lily' dad said walking in my room and sitting at my desk. 'Really? I didn't notice' I hissed as I untangled myself and he smiled.
I got the letter off the owl and watched as it jumped through my open window and flew as far away as fast as it could. I then looked down at the letter from my school: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. 'EKK DADDY, MUMMY!' I squealed excitedly before sprinting down the stairs dad right behind me. 'What?' they asked in perfect unison. 'I'm Head Girl! Daddy, head girl!' I yelled hugging them both tightly. 'Our Lily petal Head girl?' mum asked disbelievingly before grabbing my letter, skimming through and kissing me all over.
'Poor school. There must be a mistake Mr and Mrs Evans. No one in their right mind would make a mistake a Head. Head's are supposed to be responsible and smart. The freak is clearly neither' Vernon said from our kitchen table and I threw my slipper at him 'It was a mistake that Tuney ever met you, you ungrateful seal' I told him. 'What school do you go to?' he asked rudely. 'Hogwarts now shut that hole in your oversized face!' I yelled at him before hugging my parents again in excitement.
'I better get ready mum. Alice will be sending an owl any moment' I gushed before sprinting upstairs and changing into proper clothes. And I was right. An owl that belonged to my best friend Alice flew through my window leaving me a note before soaring out again. 'Meet us in Diagon Alley NOW! Some news to break, Lily. Potter's coming' was all it said. I groaned and grabbed my new bag and coat.
'Mummy I need some money!' I called prancing down the stairs. 'Alright Lily dearest. How much?' mum asked picking up her purse as dad frowned and said, 'I really think I should come with you' in his usual I-Don't-want-my-daughter-to-go-without-me manner. 'Dad I'm going. Mum as much as I can have' I said and she shoved money into my hand singing 'that should cover it!'
I sprung outside and got the first cab to London. I sprinted into the Leaky Cauldron and out through the brick wall and into Diagon Alley. My favourite place in the world besides Hogwarts. I ran over to Gringotts first not wanting to keep the muggle money a second longer. They quickly changed it all and my handbag was soon rattling with all my Knuts, galleons and sickles. I sat at the ice cream shop licking worriedly at my chocolate sundae. Why would they bring Potter with them? Didn't they know I hate him?
'Merlin Lily where something more noticeable next time, you may have red hair but it's not easy to see with all these bloody people about!' Alice huffed behind me and I squealed and gave her a big hug along with Rose, Juliet and Mary. 'How were your holidays?' I asked as we sat down Potter and Black at the end of the table sitting their quite awkwardly as though wishing to be anywhere but here. 'Good. We've been at Potter's most the time. It's pretty boring at our places really' they sighed all fiddling with their hair and I glared at him. 'You?' they asked and I sighed, 'can I say boring?'
'The letters came early this year and we all knew you got Head Girl and were all anxious to see who got Head Boy. So we went to ask Remus who was in James' room. We saw James holding the badge with a dumbstruck expression while the rest of the guys laughed-'Alice said slowly but Potter interrupted. 'I'm head boy' he said in a dull voice and I tittered at him. 'Don't lie it's not nice' I chided but they others shook their heads. 'He is Lily' they said and I gasped.
'I am not working with him!' I exclaimed looking at him disbelievingly as he handed me the letter for proof. 'NO WAY!' I half yelled and people passing by looked at me as I threw the letter at him. 'No! Potter you don't deserve that! You're awful, self conscious, as rude as a pig can get!' I exclaimed still not believing it. 'Lily shut up! He's the Head Bloody boy who gives a darn?' Rose said off hand.
'I do Rose, I care! I have to share a bloody dormitory with him! James Dung Head Potter?' I moaned at her and she shrunk away. 'OI! He wasn't that bad last year considering. Just give him a damn chance Evans or doesn't he fit in your perfect little prefects' world?' Black snapped at me and I turned on him but Potter shoved him hand over my mouth before I could say anything.
'Shut up both of you. People are starring. Padfoot thanks but she isn't going to take this well. I'll stay out of her way and do everything right and she won't have anything to complain about. Her perfect life will be perfect just for our new Head Girl; I'll just be the burden to bear. But I swear Lily flower to stay out your way' he said keeping his hand over my mouth. I licked his palm but he didn't seem to mind. Eww, Potter germs on my tongue.
In the end I shoved his hand off my mouth and sat down breathing deeply. That was as much response as they would get out of me for the time being. 'Shopping?' Juliet asked in a hopeful voice and I laughed and hugged her. 'I'm going to miss you so much Juliet' I grinned and she smiled back. 'Mum and dad didn't want me here now. I had to sneak out!' she exclaimed and I laughed with the others.
We left the boys at the table and walked around buying our school supplies for our seventh year. We also brought some new books and robes just for the sake of it. We met up again at the Leaky Cauldron two hours later before leaving for our separate homes. I apparated for mine since I had my licence and no muggle money left.
'And?' mum asked as I spun into existence in our little living room. 'Saw the Head Boy he's a stuck up toerag I usually avoid but... I'm sure we'll figure something out. I got all my stuff as well and saw Juliet. Says her parents rarely let her out anymore; they're going all over protective on her' I told mum as I dropped my bags in my room. 'Apparently they were staying at Potter's, the Head Boy, place all holiday! Leave me much?' I scoffed and she tittered.
'Lily, do you think they might actually have friends other than you and each other. And they knew you hated this Potter boy so instead off inviting you they just went ahead and stayed over knowing you wouldn't want to go?' she sighed sitting next to me on my bed as I sorted through my books. 'But an invitation would have been nice. At least then I know they were thinking off me!' I moaned and she kissed my forehead before walking to my door. 'Oh and petal; we're all going out for tea with the Dursley's so wear your best and behave' she smirked before leaving. Evil, evil mother.
