A/N Ok, so this should be a collection of diary entries (might wind up being kinda short) of Lily's that record one of my many versions of how she came into the realization that Potter (in 7th year) really isn't the self-cetered-egoistical-prat-who-is-incapable-of-inteligent-speech that she thinks he is. These won't have dates, I want you to be able to put it at whatever pace you want it, cause that's not really the story. The story is how it happened, not when.
Disclaimer I own nothing (except the plot)
Lily Ananda Evan's Diary
7th Year
Sommat truly strange happened today – Potter was civil. Well, actually, he was more than civil, he was down-right nice! Now, some people cough my best friend cough would tell you that he's always nice, but he isn't, and to all those girls who are head over heels for him, Potter just aint worth it. Anyways, I was just sitting there in the common room working on an essay for Binns, when all of a sudden, Potter plops down next to me and starts talking. Like a normal conversation, not playful banter. After I gave up telling him to go away, and actually started paying attention to what he was saying, I must admit- I was seriously impressed. I mean, I've always seen him as this self-cetered-egoistical-prat-who-is-incapable-of-inteligent-speech. But, in reality, he's actually pretty smart. He started talking about different social issues – like prejudice in the magical world, the basis of human society – it was kinda cool actually. See, I've thought about all kinds of things, but no one here at Hogwarts gives a damn about any of it. I mean, sometimes Remus will talk to me, but he's normally got to deal with the Marauders. I can't blame him, they are his best friends. So, getting back to what I was saying, I found it amazing and really wonderfully nice to be able to have a deep and intelligent conversation with somebody. (I did start talking to him once I realized all that.) So, I guess I just wanted to say, that he really isn't that bad after all.
