Lily Evans. Soon to be Potter.

When I first met her, I thought she was pretty cool. We were on our way to Hogwarts for the first time and she helped me get my luggage onto the train, since my parents had left me stranded there. The second time I saw her, I lost some respect for her. She was hanging out with that stupid, slimy git, Snivellus. Her sassiness almost impressed me though when she stalked out of the compartment. Then the moment came. James Potter. My new best friend and brother declared he loved her and would marry her one day. That was only the beginning.

We got off the train and all headed towards the voice shouting first years. Of course, James and I quickly ran over there, dragging the semi-reluctant Peter Pettigrew and Remus Lupin, whom we had met on the train. I started to dislike Lily slightly after she yelled at us for tipping our boat and hers (which she shared with Snivellus). Then we were sorted. And she ended up in Gryffindor. I didn't really mind so much that she was in Gryffindor per say, it was more the fact that she was upset about it and would rather have been sorted into Slytherin. Of all houses, Slytherin. I guess that it especially bothered me because my whole family was or had been in Slytherin and they were all very evil. She didn't look especially evil, only like a super goody two-shoes. Then as the year went on she began to annoy me more. She rarely ever fell victim to any of the Marauder's pranks and when she did, she always had a nasty revenge hex for us. And as if that wasn't enough, she busted us for our other pranks, getting us in tons of trouble. The worst though, was that by the end of the year she was really good friends with Remus, so that made me feel like she was stealing one of my friends. After all he, James, and Peter were the first friends I ever had. She was popular with almost everyone, so she shouldn't have been trying to take my friend away.

Then came second year... It started out much the same. She still annoyed me and she was still friends with Remus. Lily still managed to escape our pranks and get us in trouble (she was still such a stickler for the rules). Then Christmas break came around. James, Remus, Lily, three seventh years, and I were the only Gryffindors left. So, being the boys we were, we decided to prank Lily. But when we entered to common room, we saw her sitting in an armchair by the fireplace holding a letter and crying (I later found out that it was from her sister). James being the nice guy he is (and the fact that he can't stand hearing or seeing anyone cry) went over to comfort her. Only he ended up saying something stupid on accident trying to make her laugh and she hit him with a hex…that we weren't supposed to learn until 5th year. That's when the minor infatuation that he had before became a super-ultra-mega-gigantic crush. He was beyond impressed with her spellwork and her. He began to track her every move to find out everything he could about her (which was more than a little creepy and led to a lot of awkward situations). He began planning and obsessing about the perfect 1st date he would take her on. It took forever to plan and by the time he was finished, the end of second year had arrived. So we said goodbye to Lily for another summer.
