Chapter 1: Meet Lily
In the summer of Lily Evans sixth year, she sat in her room, buried in her studies. You know how it is...Top student in everything, exceptional at Charms especially, and very good looking. You know, red hair, almond-shaped green eyes, great figure, yeah. Currently, she was on her way to her final year at Hogwarts, which grieved Lily very much, for Hogwarts had become more than a home to her.
"Lily!" screeched her putrid sister, Petunia. "Get down here!" Petunia was four years older than her, and was dating the most horrible boyfriend in the world, Vernon.
Lily sighed and put down her things. She loved her sister, yes, but lately she had been acting vicious and nasty towards Lily than ever before.
"Yes, Petunia?" She said downstairs in the kitchen.
"Mother wants to talk to you." She sniffed and walked out the door to meet her boyfriend, Vernon waiting for her outside.
"Bye." She called out the door, grabbing her jacket and slamming the door. Lily's mother sighed.
"I wish she'd stop seeing that boyfriend. He's absolutely horrible." She smiled and Lily giggled.
Rose, Lily's mom looked pretty much exactly the same as Lily, except for the eyes. Lily got her eyes from her dad.
"Anyways, I thought maybe we could go shopping today, for your supplies. You know, your school year is only two weeks away."
"I'd love to Mum, but I can't. I'm meeting up with Annie today, I promised her I would. You know how she gets about those kind of things."
"Oh well, we can to it some other time. Has Annie gotten you another blind date?" She asked coyly, trying to suppress a grin. Lily just rolled her eyes, but smiled nonetheless. Somehow, Annie always found ways to get Lily in sticky situations.
Right then, Lily's dad, came in. "Hello my beautiful flowers." He said in his deep rumbling voice. He smiled broadly at the joke he had made a million times before.
Lily smiled. She loved every time her dad said that. It brought back sweet memories.
Lily's mom glanced at her watch and said to Lily, "You better be going, or Annie will have your head."
"Oh my gosh! I'm late! Bye Mum! Bye Dad!" She pecked them each on the cheek and raced down to Annie's house, which was a couple blocks down. When she finally got there, she was forty-five minutes late.
Annie opened the door scowling. "You're late! Again! Why are you always late? Punctuality is very important!" She fake scolded. She was such a drama queen. Lily rolled her eyes and smiled. She loved Annie's house. It always smelled of freshly baked bread, which makes sense, because Annie's mother was a baker. One of the best bakers in the world.
Annie giggled. "Nevermind that. I have something important to tell you." She looked around and whispered "I'll tell you upstairs, because THERE'S A LITTLE BRAT EAVESDROPPING AGAIN!! MOTHER!!!" She ran around the couch and picked up her nine year old brother by the ears. "MOTHER!!! HE DID IT AGAIN!!"
Annie's mother came rushing out of the kitchen. "Matt! What did I tell you about listening in on people's conversations??" She scolded. Lily smiled. Another reason why she loved this house was because there was so much liveliness.
"Oh hello, Lily. I'm sorry about this. Matt won't ever do it again, right?" She turned and stared pointedly at Matt. He squirmed from Annie's grip.
"Yes Mum." He mumbled and hung his head.
"Great, now go to your room."
Matt stomped up the stairs up to his room. Annie apologized.
"Don't worry about it. I only wish I could have a little brother."
"No, I promise you, you don't."
"Would you rather have Petunia?"
"Well, no, but you wouldn't want Matt either." She huffed. "Anyways, let's go to my room, I'm dying to tell you." Lily's forehead creased with worry.
"It's not another blind date you set me up with again is it?" Annie looked unbothered.
"Well, as I said before, over and over, you need a boyfriend! I mean you dig yourself in your studies all day and nothing else! It's like that's all you care about! You need more of a social life, you know?"
Lily rolled her eyes. "And as I've said before, over and over, I don't want a boyfriend! And setting me up on blind dates won't help much! Because there's like one in a trillion chance that I would find the right guy going on blind dates, and I NEED to concentrate on my studies, because if I don't, I'll never be a Healer! You know that!"
Annie sighed. "Just go on this one alright? I already set it up and stuff, so just go. PLEASE??" She put on her puppy dog eyes.
Now Lily sighed. "Fine, but no more alright?"
"No promises." She smiled and ran up the stairs to her room, with Lily right behind.
Sitting in the café, Lily awaited her blind date's arrival. She had a cup of coffee in her hand and a hell of a headache. Annie was a couple of tables away, eagerly waiting to see the outcome.
The bell chinged as the door opened. Lily looked up. Just some old man. Lily sighed, frustrated and annoyed. She put her head in her arms on the table to ease her headache.
"Lily! Lily!" Came Annie's urgent whisper. "Here he comes." Lily groaned but looked up anyway. There she saw the hottest guy ever. He had short black hair spiked up, and light, candy brown eyes.
He strolled up to her table and asked, "Are you Lily?" In an average toned voice.
"Ye-Yes." Came Lily's idiotic reply.
"Great." He smiled warmly and sat himself down. A waiter came by and he ordered a cup of coffee.
"So..." Lily said after an awkward silence, in which he stirred his coffee. Lily blushed. This was starting pretty bad. And her head was throbbing.
"I'm Michael." He smiled. "But you already knew that, right?"
Lily hadn't, because Annie hadn't told her, no idea why. But she nodded anyways. "I'm Lily, but you already knew that, right?" Lily relaxed a bit. She didn't realize how tense she was. Maybe because the headache...
"So what school do you go to?" He asked, attempting to start a conversation.
"Oh, it's far away from here."
"Oh."
Lily couldn't believe how Annie would do this again, after so many times of telling her not to, she did anyways. And it was turning out to be very....boring. And Lily knew that this wasn't the guy for her.
"So how'd you end up here?" Lily asked, hoping it wasn't too personal.
"Oh, my friend thought it'd be funny to set me up on a blind date as a prank." He rolled his eyes.
Kind of like me, Lily thought. Maybe this won't be so bad.
"So what about you?"
"Oh, basically the same thing, except my friend is trying to get me a boyfriend because she thinks I'm not social enough or something." And Lily rolled her eyes. Her head throbbed. She winced.
He smiled. "Not social enough, eh? And why not? You're pretty enough."
Lily wasn't sure if it was a compliment or an insult so she just smiled and nodded. Once more there was an awkward silence.
"Er, well I have to be somewhere at eleven, so maybe I'll see you around." Lily knew that he was lying when he said he had to be somewhere, and she was sure that he, too, meant that she wasn't for him. Grrrrr...Annie, when I get my hands on you...right after I get rid of my headache....
He left with a ching ching from the bell on the door, and Lily looked after him, and what she saw made her horribly embarrassed. He walked out of the door and met up with a girl and walked away.
She stormed to Annie's table, where Annie was innocently reading her menu, not knowing the date was done. Lily took Annie's menu, laid it down and plopped down on the seat opposite of her so called friend.
"Finished already? How'd it go?" She asked cheerfully.
Lily lifted her head, scowling, and growled, "Fine Annie. Except he has A GIRLFRIEND!" Annie's smile dropped. "Oops."
"Damn right oops. Every single blind date you've put me on, it's always gone wrong, so would you please just stop putting me on these dates? I'll find my guy in due time! Okay??" With that, Lily got up from the chair and left.
