Lily Evans had given up on love. At the age of seventeen, and soon to be going into her seventh and final year at Hogwarts, she had decided that she was sick of it. Love was the cause of all things bad. She was upstairs in her room, which looked the same as it did seven years ago, because she was hardly ever home. Lily was the perfect student, who also happened to have the voice of an angel, and seemingly the body of one, too. With shiny crimson hair long enough to rival Dumbledore's, and the perfect figure, she was gorgeous. Lily also liked to sing, however, she didn't like people to hear her. Only her best friend Amelia Bones had ever heard Lily sing. Amelia had dark brown hair, almost black, and wore tiny glasses. They were both in Gryffindor house, along with three boys that Lily deeply detested: Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and James Potter. They were known as the Marauders, and their favorite past time was to play evil and sometimes dangerous pranks on unsuspecting victims. Lily seemed to constantly be at war with James, the leader of their trio. But Lily wasn't thinking about them right now. She was thinking about the worst moment of her life. It had happened last year, the day after Valentine's Day, and still brought tears of hurt and anger to her eyes, almost seven months later.

She thought back to the previous year, during one of her many rows with James.

"Stop yelling, Potter! Maybe if you'd deflate that big head of yours, you'd be able to see that some of us are trying to study for our exams!" Lily shouted at him from across the common room.

"Well I'm sorry, Little-Miss-Hush-Hush! Maybe I already finished studying for my exams, but have nothing else to do!" James yelled back at Lily.

"You have not already studied, because you've never studied for an exam in your life! Your detentions take up too much time!" shouted Lily, very red in the face.

"Well I'm sorry we can't all be as perfect as you, Evans! Go take your perfect life somewhere else!" James shouted.

He thought her life was perfect. Perfect, huh? Was he used and then thrown out like old news during his first serious relationship? Did he have a sister who talked of nothing but her ugly boyfriend, Vernon, and cussed her out every time they were alone in a room together? And now, yet another responsibility: Head girl. She'd gotten the letter this morning, and though she was proud of such a title, she couldn't help but think: Great. More responsibility, and more work. Troubled as she was, she couldn't help but wonder: who's Head Boy? McGonagal hadn't said in the letter. Oh well. It'd be a surprise, and hopefully, a good one. Fed up with her life, Lily did the only reasonable thing she could think of: soundproof the walls of her room using a charm, and put on a CD to sing along to. It helped every time. She chose Avril Lavigne, and put on "Nobody's Home."

I couldn't tell you

Why she felt that way

She felt it every day

And I couldn't help her

I just watched her make

The same mistakes again

What's wrong, what's wrong now

Too many, too many problems

Don't know where she belongs

Where she belongs

:Chorus:

She wants to go home

But nobody's home

That's where she lies

Broken inside

With no place to go

No place to go

To dry her eyes

Broken inside

Open your eyes

And look outside

Find the reasons why

You've been rejected

Now you can't find

Whatever you've left behind

Be strong, be strong now

Too many, too many problems

Don't where she belongs

Where she belongs

:Chorus:

Her feelings she hides

Her dreams she can't find

She's losing her mind

She's falling behind

She can't find her place

She's losing her faith

She's fallen from grace

She's all over the place yeah

:Chorus:

She's lost inside, lost inside

She's lost inside, lost inside.

Now in her pajamas, Lily finished the last few notes of the song, and drifted off to sleep.
