The Final Years.




Lily Evans sighed. It was rumored that Lord Voldemort was after her. However, it was no longer a rumor because Dumbledore had taken Lily aside on the last day of school. Lily could remember his words like he had said them yesterday.
"Lily," he had said, "I know this might come as a shock to you, but Lord Voldemort is after you."
"Why?!" Lily had asked.
"Because of your ability in charms, you are the best charms student Hogwarts has seen in a long time."

Now Lily feared that someday Voldemort would show up at her house, and so Lily had a plan. There was some Floo Powder on her fireplace, and she would rush off to James's house, or Sirius's. Lily got out of bed that morning to hear Petunia talking to her Grandmother. One of the reasons they lived with their Grandmother was because - of course - of the Death Eaters. They had killed Lily's wonderful, wonderful parents.

Lily heaved a great sigh and began to brush her hair. Lily loved her hair, and took great care of it. It was reddish - blonde, and fell down too her elbows in soft curls. Lily Evans was no longer a little girl, or a teenager. Her body figure had changed greatly that summer. She went from a 38 B, to a 38 C, and had full hips. However, she was still the same height. She used to be the tallest girl in her class, but now all the boys had grown. She was 5' and 6", and had long legs. Tomorrow would be her sixteenth birthday. Her birthday was on August 8. She was so excited! So, off she went downstairs in her short, short, pale yellow shorts, and her favorite white tank top. When she entered the room, Petunia walked out, and her Grandmother completely ignored her. She was extremely ashamed on having a witch in the family. Her grandfather, however, was incredibly pleased! He had always liked Lily the best, because she was "so sweet, and charming."

Her friends joked about how she was always so happy. Lily had 9 very close friends, and a bunch of others on the side. Lily couldn't wait to see Kirsten Small, Nadia Burchi, Luci Malloy, and Suzanne Burke. She laughed to herself, remembering Suzanne's American accent, she just sounded so different! And of course, there was Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, James Potter, and Peter Pettigrew. Peter was always nice, but he seemed to be acting a little strange towards the end of the 5th year. (A/N, I wonder why!! What a little rat! I HATE him!!) He kept asking her many questions. She also had a few Ravenclaw friends, and the Hufflepuffs always tried to be like her. It was very annoying. Most of the Ravenclaws she knew were mostly just acquaintances, but a few of them were "Hello" friends.

While Lily helped herself to some Danish, Petunia came in again, wrinkling her nose.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Lily, the witch."
"Good morning Petunia." Was all Lily said. She wasn't quite in the mood to have another row with her. Just then, Lily's grandfather came in.
"Good morning precious," he said while kissing Lily on the forehead, "what are your plans today?"
"I don't have any yet Grampy." Just then however, and owl came in.

Lily,
Everyone is going to meet in Diagon Alley to get his or her new school things today. Try to make it if you can! We all miss you! Sirius is here, and he says hi. Meet us at Gringotts at around 2 o clock. See you there!
James.


"Well, Grampy, here are my plans!" said Lily Cheerfully.
"What do you plan to do today sweetie?"
"Well, all of my friends are getting their new school things at Diagon Alley, and I have plenty of money so don't worry about it."
Her Grandfather smiled, "All right you can go, only on one condition," Lily rolled her eyes, "I must give you some extra spending money to buy yourself a treat, how does 50 dollars sound?" (A/N sorry, I don't really know how they say it in England, I'm American!!) Lily let out a little squeal and jumped up to hug her Grampy. "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!" Then she ran off to pick out an outfit.

Lily took a shower, because she needed to shave her legs. Then she remembered the No-More-Hair charm on her legs. So, she got out, and dried her hair. She then decided on jean shorts that she loved, and a baby blue tank top. She also had a necklace that her mother had given her. It was a simple emerald, on a fine gold chain to match her eyes. She decided to wear her hair plain down.

***************************

Lily hurriedly took out her wand and tapped the brick to get into Diagon alley. She was running late, and she didn't want the gang to think that she wasn't coming. So she set off at a run toward Gringotts, and they were still there. She slowed down to a walk, and called out Suzanne's name.

"SUZANNE!!!" Suzanne, and everyone else turned, the boys eyes nearly popped right out of their heads. Sirius let out a wolf whistle, and Lily blushed. (A/N remember, she GREW!) "Hello, everyone!" she said, "Sorry I'm late, but I lost track of time." She said this while she hugged all of her friends, and when she hugged Sirius last, he grabbed her butt. "Hey!!" Lily giggled.

"Very amusing," said a cold high voice behind them, Lily turned around and gasped…

A/N: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA who was behind them? Find out in the next part! I promise to get it out ASAP! That is, if I get good reviews and ppl like my stories! This is a bit short, because it's just a start. :)
