"Look after yourself Lily, don't forget to write and remember we love you!"
Oh Mother, Father, I love you ever so dearly too. But I know when you say 'we' you do definitely don't mean Tuney but, hey? Too much water under the bridge I guess.
"I love you too! See you at Christmas!"
Well, here we are Lil, Last year at Hogwarts. I honestly never thought this day would come; it seems like only yesterday when I was running through that wall, 11 years young, not knowing where my life would go from there. But bloody hell! It's gone so fast! I'm eighteen in January, I'm leaving school next July,it's going too fast.
And of course this year's going to be different and challenging, because of N.E. and everything…
Oh and of course the fact I'm HEAD GIRL!
Please! Hold the applause.
I know!?
Me! Lily Christine Evans is head girl of Hogwarts! Seriously, what is even special about me though? I am average popularity, I would say that most people would define me as a 'know-it-all' and the rest don't have a nargle who I am.
What's going to happen when good ol' dumby, I apologise, Dumbledore gives his speech?!
"And let me introduce the new head girl, Ms Lily Evans!.. Oh that's the girl on Gryffindor table, to the back, ginger hair, green eyes, can you see her? Know who she is now? Give us a wave aye Lil?"
It's going to be unbearable.
And up until now I have just thought, I have NO IDEA who head boy is.
What if it's Severus?
No, I mustn't think about it, I have moved on and let go of the past.
One step at a time, dearest Lily. Right foot in front of the left, there we go. Now we do this thing called breathing. Yes, that's it.
Ahh, finally I'm back in normality on platform 9 and ¾. I never thought I would miss it this bloody much.
"Whoa, stop, is that ginger hair I see? Must be my good old chummy, Miss Lily!"
Ahh, yes.
That must be my dearest friend Jessica. How nice of her to create a little rhyme for me!
BUT HOW IVE MISSED HER.
"And one wishes a very happy hello and welcome back to you young Jessica! I've missed you so so much! How are you?!"
"Lil I've missed you too! So much to tell but so little time!-"
We have a year Jess, darling.
"And I'm doing fine! How are you Lil?"
"I'm rather grand Jess; would you like to know why I am so grand on a rather dismal morning?"
In fact it wasn't dismal at all the sun was shining and everybody was happy.
But it sounded so much better saying that.
"Oh yes do tell Ms Lily do tell…"
I decided for better impact I should just whip out the badge to see what she says. So I did, and it was priceless.
"WHAT! NO NO PLEASE NO! LIL! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU! Why didn't you owl me! Oh Lil I am so pleased! My chummy is head girl! Do you know who he-"
I had no time to say thank you, she was auto-pilot on congratulating me.
I was simply smiling like a Cheshire cat.
And no, I don't know why she cut off at the end, I didn't ask though because it was five too eleven and we needed to get a good seat on the old choo choo (Hogwarts Express).
Find the gang and all.
'The gang'.
I would hardly call my three best friends and I a gang. We are literally like the four most weirdest people you could ever meet. Ever. But nevertheless, I still needed to find them.
I had put my head girl badge in my pocket because I wanted to tell Rose and Zoe together, yanno because "All is fare in love and war"
Minus the war part, because September 1st 1977, 11:12 am will be a new start for Lily Evans.
"Hello Evans. Did you miss me?"
Second thoughts, no. that's not true.
I will be the same me I was last year, and Potter will be the same ignorant toe-rag he was to.
