Chapter 1:
I never thought this would be happening to me of all the people I know. I don't want it to be true. Why me?
Why?
Why indeed is the question.
Actually if I found out why this is happening to me I would probably paralyze from shock only because it is happening to me and not because of the why.
I
Don't
Want
This
To
Be
Happening.
Why?
WHY?
Maybe this was meant to happen.
Why does falling in love have to be a pain in the arse?
It's not like we were enemies or anything.
It's not like we hated each other.
Actually we were pretty good friends.
Until that day
The day where everything went horribly wrong.
I guess you have no clue about what I am talking.
It's actually quite simple.
Two people
One girl
One boy
Known each other their whole lives
Went to the same school even though they were sure they would never see each other again after the boys eleventh birthday.
The day he went to Hogwarts.
The day he met his other friends
The friends who he seems to trust more then me
Only because of this we have to act like we hate each other
Which I find highly irritating.
I don't want it to be like this
I want us to be talking in public again.
Like normal best friends do
Did I say I am in love with my best friend.
Yes I am in love with him
In love with the best friend who I seem to hate in other people their eyes
I hate it.
At least we have each other
Or so I thought.
This is my life.
The life of Lily Evans.
Who would have thought that.
I will tell you my story.
Because if I am going to hide this longer I am going insane.
This is how it all started:
I Lily Marie Evans was born on the 14th of February. But I was not the only one who was born at that day. The day of love. A boy called James Potter was also born on that day. He was actually born two minutes before me and till this day he still rubs the fact that he is two minutes older than me in my face. You could say that we were acting like twins. For some unknown reason we had this special bond like twins have only deeper. We did everything together. We even wore clothes in the same colour each day. If James got something I needed to have it to and vice versa. We were inseparable. Till the day he got his Hogwarts letter. I must admit I knew that the day was going to come seeing as they(James mum and dad) told me all about the wizarding world. The day he got his letter I was kind of sad but didn't let him know that although he knew I was sad he didn't act like he knew it. The summer came and I started to get depressed. I was nothing without my best friend. He didn't even notice. Two months till he took off to Hogwarts. I was acting more sulky the days nearing to 1 September. Until there suddenly was an owl waiting with an letter with my name on it. I took the letter from the owl and started to read the letter…
Dear Miss Evans,
We are pleased to let you know you have been accepted into Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry …
To say I was excited was an understatement. I ran to James' house and called him.
'James. I've got some great news'. I called
He came running down the stairs.
'Lily what news? ' He asked.
The only thing I could do was waving my letter at him , throwing it at him so he could read it and smile like I've never smiled before.
After he read it he stood there in shock before hugging me. He was talking about not being separated from each other. All I could do was smiling, like I did before. I went to Diagon alley with James. I knew where it was seeing as every time James went to Diagon alley I just had to come along. Only this time went I went to Diagon Alley it was like seeing it for the first time being actually a witch and not a muggle. Oh, how happy I was. The best thing of Diagon ally was getting my wand. I knew for a fact that James still hadn't his wand because his mum thought that he should do it when he went to Hogwarts. James got an owl. Before he got his owl he looked at me and decided that I should get an Owl too. But I hadn't enough money so he just bought me one. The strange thing was that the owls are twin owls. Or at least they act like twins. Just like James and I do. My owl was black with hazel eyes and James his owl was a rare red with green eyes. Coincidence or not?
Two days till Hogwarts. I am actually scared. What if James makes new friends and forget about me. I remember a chilly night…
'James?' I asked
'Hmm.' He said
'Are we going to be friends forever till death do us part' I asked with tears shining in my eyes. I don't know why but I felt like crying.
'Of course Lily. Forever and even when we are dead we are going to be together.'
And with that he gave me a hug like only 11-years could do. Uncomfortable.
But at that precise moment I just knew that everything was going to be okay even though there were going to be a lot of hard times that were going to test our friendship and later our relationship which actually would be predictable by many.
But still as I look over my life I knew that one thing was for sure, the love I had for his friends was undeniable. I couldn't have not loved Sirius like a big brother. And Remus he is really close. He helped me with problems that James couldn't solve , namely because he was the problem. And Peter. I did not know what he did to betray us. I was so sure that I was a friend to, not close but close enough to be trusted by him.
And last but not least. James the love of my life, in life itself and beyond life in wherever the place is were we are going.
And now I must continue my story. The truth about what happened.
The truth.
