Okay, so this is basically the life of Lily Evans: meaning before, during, and possibly after, Hogwarts.

And yes, this fic will later become SnapeXLily but it will take some time like all romances. (not counting love at first sight)

So please bear with it, and I hope you enjoy.

Summary: Lily was just a normal muggle until she discovers she's a witch. Going to the school of witchcraft and wizardry she finds the best and worst trials that lay ahead of her..mostly dealing with a distant and moody Slytherin named Severus.

Dedicated to my best friend Shelby

(P.S, I can not recall on the top of my head the number of days there are of school so I'm just saying it's 365 days: a year basically)

Muggle Me Not : Chapter 1

"Lily: time for breakfast!"

Oh come on mum! Can't you at least give me the courtesy of letting me kiss Jacob-!

"Lily I mean it! Your eggs are going to get cold!"

Fine! But you do realize that with that attitude, you're going to be beaten by dad for brownie points. I smirked. Yes, that'll teach her.

Okay seriously, I love my mum. But really girls, who can say they wouldn't want to finish their dream with Jacob King? He's only the cutest boy in elementary school! He's gotta be my soul mate…or what ever Petunia says the perfect guy for you is. Yeah my big sis Petunia is mean to me sometimes but she takes love very seriously. But I know he's 'The One'! Now if only I could get Jacob to realize that too…

I sighed while snuggling into my ultra pink plush pillow. My red haired locks meanwhile tried to tangle themselves without surveillance. I opened my emerald colored eyes and warned them not to do so. They seemed to listen.

"Lily Allison Evans! Honestly sweety, wake up!...Do you want be late in seeing that King boy? It's the last time you'll see him!" My mom with brown curly locks said, as she leaned on the doorframe, wire whisk still in hand.

I perked my head up when I heard my mom come in, but let it fall at her last words. She must have forgotten that my class had an exclusive 'Graduation Celebration' party to go to on Saturday. By all means I think after 364 days I could be late for once.

"im mam mee e mom mmermmay." I said, voice muffled by the vibrant pink pillow.

Without looking I could tell my mom was giving her little shake of the head that sported her 'no no, you're not quite getting it' face. "No you can't see him on Saturday because we have to go to your Grandma's. I'm sorry Lily but it's her birthday and she doesn't have anyone to celebrate with."

That got me to spring my head back up. My hair went in a state of panic by the quick movement.

Alright, this called for the puppy dog eyes.

I forced myself to think of not seeing Jacob again to produce some tears. I then went over a quick heart-wrenching plea.

"Mummy, everyone else is gonna be there, and I promised Janet I'd be there too! Grandma wouldn't mind if I didn't come, I'd just watch television at her house anyways!

Please, please, plee-ease mum!"

I wiped at my eyes to smear tears on my face to show I was crying. And taking a quick glance at my mother and…Success!

My mother looked really guilty and I knew she was going to let me stay. That is, until Petunia came in.

"Mummy, grandma just got off the phone saying how she couldn't wait for us to come over Saturday. She was sad she didn't get to talk to Lily though since she was sleeping in and all, but I told her that Lily would call her after school. And mum could we please leave for school early? I'd hate to not see my friends until next year." Petunia spoke, all the while sporting a smile that was too sugary sweet to be good for you.

And I knew that sis wasn't in a very sugary mood today. Meaning that me: the younger sister, would have to take the wraith…Darn that unwritten sibling law book!

My mom, not noticing the angel-like smile turning into a smirk on Petunia's face turned back to me with more confidence. "See Lily? Your grandma said so herself that she wants to see you, come on; be her favorite granddaughter and come?"

I wanted to laugh at Petunia's face that sported a smirk but quickly changed that into disbelief. Mum didn't even realize her slip of proclaiming me as being the favorite.

Score one for Lily, Zip for sister dearest! I thought.

"Well I don't know mum, I'll think about it okay?" I said, still not quite ready to give up seeing Jacob out of school..sort of, since it was still a 'school function'.

"Oh alright, though know that I have the final say. But hurry up and come down for breakfast. I have driven you for 364 days and I'm not going to break my record!" she said this with a sort of victory gleam. This would be the first year she would defeat the imaginary challenge for all the parents to get their kids safely to school before the bell everyday. Tom's mother practically cried when she got him late to school once because he had to do his homework, leaving her out of the running. Adults: honestly.

Mum had already strolled her way back down the stairs to the kitchen. Petunia, giving me a glare and an unspoken warning left with a haughty rush after the older woman.

I sighed. Today might be the last day I'd get to see Jacob..puppy dog eyes could only go so far. And let's face it, my gram is such a nice energetic old woman that you couldn't deny a simple request as staying over for a few hours with the promise of Boston cream cake.

Of course, grandma might let me stay if I explained... First love is a good excuse right?

Oh, who was I kidding? I'm going to go to gram's and miss the school party and have Silvia take the final swoop and capture Jacob as a boyfriend. Silvia and I had a mutual interest in Jacob and mutual distaste for each other. Thus rivalry was born. Her sickly wavy jet black hair and soft almond eyes spoke trouble. At least one thing will come out of leaving elementary school; I won't have to see her again in middle school. Kudos to the 'International Study plan' in the US!

Thinking of all the things Silvia did that would forever be gone got me in a good mood.

I hadn't even realized that I had a mouthful of eggs and staring with content at the butter container in front of me. And I'm not sure but I could've sworn dad glanced from the side of his newspaper, red hair messy as always, and stare at the butter to see what was so interesting. Hopefully he didn't think I was going mental.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"Ha ha! In your face Conors! Three hundred and sixty five days, thank you!" My mom yelled to the yellow Volvo that held a slightly shaking Mrs. Conors and an embarrassed Michael sitting next to her. Selected parents would also compete to beat other parents in a type of race. Abiding by the rules of the road all the while, of course.

Unfortunately that can't always be said about my mum. I warily shook my head as I glanced at the speedometer reading 65 on a 15 restricted student drop off, slowly lower to 0 as we moved into a stop. At least she's punctual…sort of.

"Okay Lily, have a good day! Now Petunia lets get to your middle school." With the same evil gleam, I just barely closed the car door as mum weaved back into traffic, a terrified Petunia glued to her seat.

I looked away and towards the last morning glimpse of Lions Gate Elementary. Its customary color of red would forever be etched into memory as I looked at the building.

Honestly it resembled more of a mansion than a school with two marble lions stationed at the front, you guessed it, gate. Ingenious.

"Lily, 'morning," my best friend Janet, since 2nd grade came up to me from her dad's red Buick. "Can you believe it's finally the last day?"

"Yes and I'm depressed. Today's the last day I'll get to see Jacob.." I sighed already aware of Janet's realization of the situation.

"You're not going to the party on Saturday? Oh Lily, you promised."

"I know, but it's not like it's my decision. Puppy dog eyes can only go so far!"

A few seconds later and I had a promising bruise on my shoulder and was taken 3 steps back from where I was so comfortably standing. Looks like Silvia's made her entrance.

"Oh, what's this Evans? Can't make it to the party? Tsk tsk. What a shame." Silvia said with a caramel coating voice. I disliked caramel.

Not missing a beat I quickly launched on to a sentence full-proof to get her boiling.

"I know it is a shame isn't it? I so wanted to beat you at badminton in front of the whole class again. What a pity everyone will be missing out on the entertainment." I smirked knowing full well that I was the badminton champ of Lions Gate elementary and anyone who challenged me was a fool. It just so happens Silvia filled in that role.

"Indeed?" Silvia said with a now menacing glare and cold chill to her voice. "But there are so many things I could enlighten you with. Too bad they don't abide by our rules. Ah"- she cut me off as I was about to ask her what 'rules' she meant by- "we wouldn't want to be late on the last day of school now would we? I'll see you girls." And with a wave of her grudgingly shiny raven black hair she turned and was heading to class just as the warning bell signaling the start of school, rang.

"That girl is serious trouble. Her father's just as sweet too I hear." We turned and saw a new silver Cobra car already at the corner leading out onto the road of traffic. The model just came out last month and was only being exclusively sold. "Rich as well." Janet stated the obvious as we both got the feeling of being watched by the owner of said vehicle.

"Well I'm just glad that this is the last time I'll see Silvia, her dad, or her stupid car. C'mon lets go." I shrugged my bag higher onto my shoulder as me and Janet headed for class.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

With the third and final obnoxious bell chime class begun.

"Okay class! Here we are and it's the last day of school. Of course the 'Graduation Celebration' is still being held on Saturday. But to anyone who won't be going, just know that we'll all miss you." Mrs. Shirley said warmly, although I couldn't help but question if she was simply relieved to have less students to keep watch over this weekend.

"Oh yes, we'll all miss you deeply Evans." Silvia stated behind me with the same warmth and tone as Mrs. Shirley. Her two minions, supposedly friends, snickered at their 'leader's' oh so wonderful humor.

"Oh that's so sweet. I'm sorry I can't say the same about you three." I smiled back with equal warm force.

I looked to find an approving Janet at my side who gave a smirk towards the two girl toadies. Happy to say, they both seemed to be a little irked. Another good thing about not going to the party is guaranteed that we were both still going to the same middle school. But I still wasn't sure where Jacob was going...

"Oi Lily, I heard you weren't going to the party Saturday. Is it true?" the boy of my dreams asked as he walked over with his group of friends laughing about something.

Oh, Jacob King. If only you knew how I felt about you. With you're dirty blonde hair and cerulean eyes that I could swim in, high cheek bones, and I'm staring at you like an idiot and, think of something to say stupid!

"Uh, yeah it's my grandma's birthday and all and my family's making me go.." I trailed off. Honestly talking to the guy you've like for the past several grades was soo not an easy task.

"That's too bad. I was hoping to have another rematch with you at badminton."

Curses, of course: the rematch. He was one of the best people I've played but my stupid competitive nature wouldn't settle with second best or a 'cute congrats from me and a warm smile of his to say I wasn't bad either' scene. No, but of course Silvia challenged him next, completely ignoring the winner of previous match, and lost on purpose (but still bad as normally) to receive the scene mentioned above that gave Jacob more pride to his previous loss to me. Stupid moocher she is.

Before I could name several more events of how Silvia was a moocher, back-stabber, cheater and all those other well-suited names for her, several involving not only badminton but basketball (I'm not shabby on that either) and other various sports, Jacob brought me back down to earth...or up to heaven since he was still talking to me.

"Well that's okay. We could always do it, say after school? It'll be a quick game I promise."

Not even thinking of what would lay ahead I instantly said "Sure, sounds good. 3:10: you, me." I winked at him, oh my god, I actually winked at him.

"Alright" he said and smiled his boyish grin and, winked back! Just as he was about to go Silvia wrapped her arm around his.

"Oh Jacob, you still have to play my rematch too. Of course we do have all day to play on Saturday together, don't we? I'll be waiting." She smiled..and winked at him too!

Grr that girl..

"Sure, that's cool. Well see ya Lily." He waved back at me, totally ignoring the wink from Silvia. Yay, even my winks beat Silvia's butt!

"Twenty for me and five for Silvia." I muttered. Silvia seemed to hear though.

"What was that?" the she demon asked bitterly.

"Oh, nothing. Just an update to our little score chart, which by the way; you're way behind...hmm, too bad."

Just before she could come with a comeback Mrs. Shirley called for order in the classroom and begun to pass out worksheets for the last day of school.
