A/N: Hello all! My name is Ashley, and I am the proud author of this story. I wish that everyone sign their reviews, that way I can leave you a response. I promise not to do anything drastic like flame all your stories and find out where you live and egg your house. I enjoy criticism! Keep it coming!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this story but my two characters, Jessica and Mercy. Everything you could possibly recognize came from JK Rowling. That woman is a genius and my hero. I really am not trying to take her work. My title is a spin-off from Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. I have not seen that movie so this story is not a spin-off of it.

Confessions of a Sixth Year Gryffindor

Chapter 1: Of Sisters and School

Lily Marie Evans was a typical teenager. She had three best friends and parents who absolutely adored her. The only thing that could be considered slightly different about her was the fact that she went to a "special" school for "advanced children". At least that's what the neighbors thought.

Lily was no typical teenager. She was a witch and was about to start her Sixth Year at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. In fact, the train would be leaving in precisely 12 hours from platform 9 ¾ at Kings Cross Station. Maybe that's why Lily was so frantic…

"Mum! I can't find my wand! Have you seen my wand? It's not in my trunk. Oh, bloody hell, they won't let me back in without my wand!" Lily screamed at the top of her lungs as she went through her trunk, throwing rolls of parchment and ink everywhere. Eventually she just gave up and slouched onto her bed. She drew her knees up to her chin and sighed. Maybe she was stressing a little bit, but anyone would if they had left packing for the whole year to the last minute like she did.

Marie Evans, her mother walked in holding an oak case. It was Lily's wand case. Marie sat next to her daughter and gently opened the case, revealing Lily's wand. "Darling, you asked me to hold onto it until you finished packing, remember?" She said with a small smile.

It was moments like this that made Lily love her mother. Her mother was so gentle and caring that there wasn't a soul on this earth who could hate her. She always knew where everything was and how to fix any problem. Lily smiled up at her mother. "Thanks Mum. I don't know what I would do without you."

Marie stood up. "Well, you would be one wandless witch, that's for sure." She said with a chuckle. "Now, is anything else missing?" She asked, crossing her arms.

Lily looked around her room and thought for a second. "No Mum, everything else is here."

Marie smiled. "Good. It's past eleven pm now and you have a long day tomorrow. Put the last of your things in your trunk and call it a night kid. Your father and I will make you a big breakfast tomorrow before dropping you off at Kings Cross."

Lily smiled. "Thanks Mum. And…as a parting gift to your daughter, could you not invite Petunia? I don't want her to be her usual nasty self and spoil my day."

Lily's mother looked stern for a moment. "You know how your sister is dear. I don't even think she was going to be able to make it because Vernon was going to take her to the Zoo. She does love you, Lily. Even if she doesn't show it."

Lily sighed. "I know Mum." She said, picking up the parchment she had thrown from her trunk. "I'm going to get some sleep. Goodnight." She said, crawling into her bed and getting under the covers.

Marie turned off the light. "Goodnight my Lily-flower." She whispered. "I love you." She gently walked out of the room and closed the door.

The next morning, Lily woke up by a loud crash. She sat up and reached for her wand out of instinct. It took a minute for her eyes to adjust. When they did, she saw her owl, Rose, hovering by the window with a rather dazed look on its face. Apparently, she didn't see the window.

Lily got up with a smile and let Rose in. With her was a letter from one of her best friends, Jessica Maczka. Lily opened the letter carefully.

Lily!

How would you be doing on this wonderful evening? It's around eleven pm and your owl stopped in for a snack. She brought me a nice present too…a dead toad. I decided to let you know that a Mr. James Potter has been asking about you lately. It's bloody awful living next door to him. He told me to tell you that he hopes to see you on the train and that if you would be so obliged to go out with him he would be the luckiest man in the world. Honestly Lily, he has been over my house at least twice a week this whole bloody summer attempting to find out if you were here. Well, as of tomorrow he is hopefully out of my hands and he can bother you. I'll be seeing you bright and early at 11 tomorrow morning. Toodles darling!

Your lovely Sister,

Jessica the Awesome

Lily giggled throughout Jessica's entire letter. Jess was almost the exact opposite of Lily. She didn't care about her grades or her looks. She didn't care about her looks or her grades. Her life centered on Quidditch and how she could talk her way out of her next detention. She had messy brown hair that was always up in a bun of some sort and light brown eyes. She was rather tan from her constant Quidditch playing and stood at a whopping 5 foot 0.

Her other best friend was Mercy Lewis. Mercy was a blonde who studied constantly. Many people wondered how she made it into Gryffindor and not Ravenclaw. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. She had skin like a porcelain doll and a smile that made boys melt. She didn't really care about boys and she hardly noticed the affection they paid her.

Lily considered the two girls family, as they took the place of her actual sister, Petunia. Lily and Petunia have never gotten along. Even before they found out Lily was a witch, Petunia still called her a freak and told her she didn't fit in anywhere. They hardly even talked now. Petunia was never at home because of her current boyfriend, Vernon. They were a match made in heaven. They were both nosy and annoying.

Lily fed her Rose and put her in the cage. She quickly put Jessica's letter in her trunk as she went downstairs to eat breakfast. Mark, her father, kissed her forehead. "Chocolate Chip Pancakes, my flower's favorite."

Lily smiled and sat down at the table. "Thanks mum and dad." She said, digging in. She looked at her watch. "Bloody Hell! We have to go." She said, jumping up without touching most of her pancakes. She grabbed her trunk and nearly sprinted to the car.

Marie and Mark looked at each other with a smile. "Well, off we should go." Marie said, grabbing her car keys. "Lord knows she will have a heart attack if she isn't there an hour early."

After the completely uneventful car ride, Lily jumped out of the car. She gave her parents each a hug and promised to write "first thing in the morning". She ran through the barrier and put her things in one of the cabins. Lily began the search for her friends. She didn't have to search long. "Lillian Marie Evans!" A loud voice echoed. Lily was soon smothered by someone a good six inches shorter than her.

Jessica Maczka grinned up at her. "Hey kid!" She said with a grin, letting go of Lily. "Thank God you are here. I just put up with an hour long car ride with Potter. He kept asking me really personal questions about you. My favorite was 'What color is her toothbrush?'."

Lily gave her a sad smile. "I'm so sorry dear. I know he is a prick. Listen, I already got us a cabin. Where is Mercy?"

Jessica shrugged. "She was right behind me. Knowing her she found a corner and it study for finals already. I can see her now complaining about the fact that she only has 9 months until exams."

"Actually I am still right behind you." A calm voice said. Mercy gave Lily a hug. "How was your summer?"

Lily smiled. "Amazing. Come on, lets get on the train."

Mercy nodded and they walked into their cabin where she quickly shut the door. "I'd like to have a Marauder-free ride." Mercy said with a smile, pulling out the book.

Lily smiled. "Sounds good to me." She said as the train started moving.

A/N: I know I rushed the train thing but that is honestly my least favorite part to write about in every story, so next chapter will start off with them getting of the train. Please Review! Criticism is welcome! It only makes me a better writer. Thanks
