Chapter 1: The fist day back and all ready missing Hell.
"Lily! Lily dear, hurry up!" Rose Evans called up the staircase. "You'll be late!"
"I know, I know." Lily muttered, spitting image of her mother from the luscious locks of auburn hair to the stunning emerald eyes to the fiery personality. She threw the rest of her things into her trunk and lugged it down the stairs.
"About time Freak. Wouldn't want to miss the stupid train to your mental ward eh?" Petunia teased as Lily came into view.
Lily made a face in response and dragged her trunk out to the car where her parents sat waiting. She hoisted it into the opened trunk and slammed it shut before climbing into the car. The Evans family drove of to King's Cross.
"Good-bye mum." Lily said kissing her mother on the cheek as they all stood facing the scarlet engine. "Bye dad!" she added, kissing her father in turn. She boarded the train and waved from the window, the Head Girl badge glittered in the light, reflecting from the glass. With a loud whistle, the train began to move and Lily left the window side and went to find a compartment. It was then when she heard her name being called.
"Lil! Lily!" She turned and saw Nancy waving at her from a compartment door. Lily smiled and walked over to her red haired friend.
"Hey Nancy!" she smiled.
"About time you showed up," Nancy began "We've been saving your seat for the longest time now…"
She opened the compartment door further to let Lily inside where four other people sat. Amy, Sirius, Remus and, much to her dismay, James.
"Hey Evans!" Sirius smirked.
Lily smiled sarcastically and sat across from Remus, returning James' smile with a glare of pure hatred.
Back in school they never taught us what we needed to know, like how to deal with despair, or someone breaking your heart. For twelve years I've held it all together but a night like this is begging to pull me apart.
James' smile vanished and he continued to stare out the window. Lily crossed her arms and legs, kicking one foot boredly with an air of impatience. It was a quiet trip to Hogwarts with the minor disruption of Nancy's toad hopping onto Amy's head, causing her to shriek and run up and down the corridor. Lily, James and Sirius had watched laughing while Remus and Nancy tried to calm Amy down and get the toad back to her. Aside from that little incident, everything went smoothly. When they got off the train and entered the Great Hall, Lily felt a rush in her veins as though she was finally home. She grinned and sat down at the Gryffindor table with Nancy and Amy, talking and laughing not even aware that James was watching her from further down the table with a glazed look on his face.
"Prongs mate, stop staring at her. She'll notice." Sirius said waving a hand in front of his best friends face.
And sure enough, Lily glanced down the table and saw James' eyes upon her. She rolled her eyes and turned back to her friends. James sighed and poked moodily at his plate.
I played it quiet, left you deep in conversation. I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen.
I remember I kept thinking that I know you never would, and now I know I want to kill you like only a best friend could.
Dinner, as usual was delicious and Lily and her friends left the Great Hall laughing and chatting like they always did. Up in the common room, the students were high on the excitement of being back at school. Amy and Nancy sat telling Lily about their summers since they knew that Lily never liked talking about her life at home. That was when they heard a loud BANG from the corner of the room. The girls glanced over and saw Sirius and James sitting around table, Sirius with his eyebrow singed and James nearly doubled over with laughter. With a smile on his face, Lily thought, he actually doesn't look half-bad. She shook her head. No, she told herself firmly, I am NOT falling for him.
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
Everyone's caught on to.
Lying in bed that night, Lily stared up at the ceiling, lost in thought. She had never gotten that feeling in the bottom of her stomach any other time she looked at James, why was know different? Was she really falling for her only hate? With a sigh she swung her legs over the bed and looked around. The others were all asleep. She slipped her bare feet into black slippers and went down to the common room in her silk black nightdress. She sat down on the couch, leaning her head back and closing her eyes. On the other side of the couch, not even a cushion away, James looked over at her and raised an eyebrow.
"What are you doing down here?" he asked her.
Lily jumped and opened her eyes. "Nothing Potter. What are you doing down here?"
James shrugged "Couldn't sleep." He said shortly.
Lily leaned her head back again and closed her eyes once more. I am not falling for him, I am not falling for him, she told herself.
James watched her for a moment, clearly thinking of something to say to her before she left. He knew perfectly well what he wanted to say to her, but getting the words out in front of her was the problem. Just as he opened his mouth, Sirius came down the stairs.
"Prongs, Moony and I are going to the kitchens want to come?" he asked hopping over the side of the sofa and landing between James and Lily. Sirius jumped when he noticed her sitting there, glaring daggers at him. He looked suspiciously between James and Lily
"Oooh…" he said "James and Evans having a little night time meeting eh?"
James rolled his eyes. Lily made a face "You are so disgusting Black." She spat.
"You can't possibly be that bad James…" Sirius smirked. James snickered. Lily then remembered why she had always loathed the 'Marauders'.
So don't apologize. I hope you choke and die.
Search your cell for something with which to hang yourself.
They say you need to pray if you want to go to heaven
But they don't tell you what to say when your whole life has gone to hell.
With a huff, she got up and went back up to the dormitory where she tossed and turned the rest of the night.
