Chapter 1- Memories and the Hogwarts Express
Lily Evans woke up on a sunny, bright August morning. It wasn't any August morning though. It was the day she would return to Hogwarts for her final year. Even better, she was named Head Girl. She was extremely happy, because becoming Head Girl was a dream of her's. She reread her letter:
Miss Evans,
Congratulations! You have been selected as Head Girl due to your outstanding marks in your past years. Mr. Potter is Head Boy and at the feast on September 1st, you both will be honored. Enclosed is the Head Girl badge.
Congratulations!
Minerva McGonagall
She studied and strived for the highest marks. She did quite well, her only competition was James Potter, who is Head Boy.
Lily despised James. They were constantly placing spells and charms and other pranks on one another. It was a never ending war between the two, and it drove their teachers mad.
Lily got ready to leave. She tamed her red wavy hair, her stunning green eyes sparkling all the while. Soon, Lily and her mother and father were at King's Cross Station. Petunia couldn't care less about Lily, she started to hate Lily since she found out she was a witch. Lily constantly recalled that day.
"MOM!DAD!" Her parents rushed to her.
"What is it? We thought you were hurt! exclaimed Mrs. Evans.
"An owl flew through my window and gave this letter to me! I opened it, and it's for a school called Hogwarts! I'M ACTUALLY A REAL WITCH!" she exclaimed. Mr. Evans thought his daughter was crazy, but Mrs. Evans was smiling.
"My daughter is a witch..." she whispered, while still smiling.
"Uh, honey? What does this mean?" asked Mr. Evans.
"Well," she began with a dreamy look on her face, " My great- grandmother was a witch. She used to tell me stories of Hogwarts, and of all the good memories she had of it. But my grandmother nor my mother were witches. I wasn't either, yet her blood passed onto you, Lily! Congratuations!" said Mrs. Evans. All this time, Lily's older sister Petunia stood in the doorway.
"You're a witch? she asked.
"Apparantly so." said Lily
"Mom, I should be a witch too then shouldn't I?" Mrs. Evans' expression grew sad and she said:
"I'm sorry Petunia. Lily got lucky, thats all." Petunia was furious. She walked up to Lily, shoved her backward into a wall, and said something Lily would remember for the rest of her life.
"I have no sister. I never had, nor will I ever have a younger sister. This person, this piece of SCUM I never have known. I've never loved you. I never have, I NEVER WILL!" she screamed. Lily was in tears by now, but she held them back. She took one look at her parents and ran to her room.
"Goodbye Lily" said her parents, "Write us lots!!"
"Bye, I'll write loads of owls!" said Lily. She then passed through the barrier.
When she was on the platform, she immediately searched for her best friends Katrina and Amelia. She saw the two of them talking to one another while getting on the train. She pulled her baggage where two people working for the train station were magically placing them into the train. She then ran onto the train, and started to open compartments, trying to find Katrina and Amelia. She was soon gettting frustrated, opening so many compartments with no Katrina or Amelia in them, when she opened the compartment where the Mauraders were talking. They turned to face Lily when she tried to close the door, but did it too late.
"LILY!!!" yelled Sirius.
"Come on in!" exclaimed James.
"I was just leaving." said Lily, when a voice sounded throughout the train.
"The train for Hogwarts will be beginning shortly. To make this trip easier, please stay in the compartment in which you are in now. Thank you."
Lily was quick, and tried to close the door and pray that the next compartment was Katrina and Amelia's, but Sirius was quicker. He grabbed the door before it closed, and grasped Lily's wrist to pull her inside. She was defenseless, Sirius was much stronger than she was.
"Why hello Lily!!" said Sirius. "Nice of you to stay with us!" James was laughing hard now, Remus was smiling, and Peter was gorging himself on food he brought. (AN: he he he!) Sirius made her sit, and let go of her wrist. She darted to the door, but James quickly placed a charm on the door. Anyone who wanted to could get in and out, with the exception of Lily. Lily tried to open the door, to her misfortune it didn't open.
"CURSE YOU POTTER!!" she yelled. James only chuckled at this comment. Knowing she had been defeated, she plumped onto the seat by the window, next to Remus.
"Oh now Lily, we're not all that bad!" said James.
"The only wish I have right now is to have repellent." said Lily. This caused confused looks on James and Sirius, and a smile on Remus.
"So I can spray you, and you'd drop like flies!" she finished. Remus chuckled, and James got on a fake hurt look on his face. Lily then stared out the window, watching the rolling hills pass by until she drifted off to sleep.
It took awhile for James and the others to realize that Lily was asleep, after all, the snack cart came around and otherwise they were talking. James' eyes rested upon Lily and it up in excitment.
"Sirius!" whispered James
"What?" asked Sirius, with his mouth full of food. James pointed at Lily. "Ohhhhhhh" said Sirius.
"Prank time!" said James. He was preparing his wand when Remus interrupted.
"Now come on! Haven't you the decency to leave the girl alone when she's sleeping?" he whispered.
"It wouldn't be very sportsmanlike to play a prank on her while she isn't even awake!" he exclaimed.
James and Sirius looked at each other. Remus had noticed that it was almost like they could read minds. They had an understanding for one another. They both nodded at each other and Remus relaxed a little.
"We're still gonna do it." said Sirius. Remus' eyes bulged and he leaned forward, silently demanding more of a reason.
"Playing pranks is a sport within itself." said James. "You use every opportunity against your opponent, no matter what condition they're in." Peter gawked at them, growing more excited for the coming prank on Lily. Remus sighed. He was impressed though. For the first time, they had a perfectly good reason (in their case) for doing a prank. Remus sat back, and watched James and Sirius prepare their wands.
Ok! This is the end of my first chapter!! It may be short, but others are longer. Please read+review, it will help, and the story gets better!! Thank You!
