First Year: Part One
Lily was with Petunia eavesdropping on
their parents. This morning, a letter was
sent directly to her. Lily looked through the
keyhole and the letter was open in front of
them. Lily caught the words 'Hogwarts' It
was an interesting name. But what was it?
Just then, her parents called her.
'Lily!'
Lily perked up and entered the room shyly.
Her parents looked very grave and Lily
thought for a second that she was in
trouble.
'You've received a letter,' Her dad starts.
'And you have been offered a place at Hogwarts school of Wizardry and witches.'
Wizards and Witches! Lily thought
bewildered, there's no such thing.
'There's Wizards in this world!' Lily
exclaimed.
Abruptly, a woman with green robes
appeared. She had greying hair and wore
glasses. Lily and her parents jumped up in
surprise.
'Indeed there are Wizards and Witches,'
The woman said. 'But sorry to surprise you
but I'm called Professor McGonagall. One
of the professors at Hogwarts.'
Than, Professor McGonagall starts to explain everything and Lily couldn't believe
it.p This was the best day of her life and
was soon to get better.
One Months Later.
Lily looked around the carriage and there
was no one but she didn't really care.
Today, she will be officially going to
Hogwarts. Lily couldn't wait. Of course she
will miss her parents but Petunia was
moody ever since Lily told her the news.
Petunia was probably jealous. Lily sat down
and immediately started practising some
spells with her new wand. Lily felt like she
could burst with joy and was nervous too
since bubbles was flying around in her. Lily
practised a spell where butterflies flew out of her wand. 'Cool!' Called out a voice. Lily whirled
around. There was a guy her age with black
unruly hair and green eyes. He was the one
who called out and there was another guy
next to him. The other guy had black wavy
hair that was not cut like a boy and grey
eyes.
'Thanks.' Lily said. 'And who are you?'
'My name is James Potter and this is-'
'Sirius Black and are you muggle-born my
dear lady?'
Why would he ask an irrelevant questions
and call her 'my dear lady? 'Yes, I am and I suppose you are
pure-bloods and probably think
muggle-born people are stealing your
places in the Wizarding World.'
The boys looked taken aback.
'No we aren't,' James denied. 'You must
have mistaken us for the Slytherins.
Honestly we are just fellow kind
purebloods.'
'And,' Sirius added. 'We are incredibly
charming men.'
Lily narrowed her eyes at that. She didn't
trust people that quickly especially ones
that tries to flatter her. 'Fine.' The boys sat down a couple of seats away
from her and was talking about the types of
pranks they shall do at Hogwarts. Why
would they do pranks thought, Lily thought,
they are not even allowed. Someone came
in. It was a tall girl. She had brown chestnut
hair and blue eyes. She was the type of
person that drew eyes to her.
'Erm.. Can I sit here?' She asked.
'Sure you can,' Lily says before the boys
can. 'You can sit next to me instead of the
boys.'
She smiled at Lily gratefully and sat next to
her. The girl was called Melissa Evergreen.
Lily knew she was a pure-blood but was
friendly to her. Soon, the Hogwarts Express arrived its destination and Lily and Melissa
headed into the boats. James and Sirius
came into the same boat with them to Lily's
luck. She couldn't stand the ridiculous
things they were saying. They were sure to
get expelled. The first years huddled
around in a room next to the Great Hall
where Professor McGonagall lectured them
about the behaviour and the Houses.
Finally and Lily couldn't wait any longer.
They were getting sorted. Professor
McGonagall called out her name.
'Evans, Lily!'
Nervously, Lily climbed onto a stool and
places the Sorting Hat on her head.
'GRYFFINDOR!' The Hat yelled. So Lily got into Gryffindor along with
Melissa and to her luck James and Sirius.
Melissa got along with them perfectly as the
Evergreens knew the Potters.
'Lily, why won't you talk to them?' Melissa
asked. 'They're really funny and cool.' Lily
hesitantly agreed.
'So Potter,' Lily decided to call him by his
surname. 'What sort of pranks will you be
doing?'
James and Sirius exchanged some looks.
'Ah,' Sirius replies while wiggling his
eyebrows. 'We can't tell you. It's top-secret.'
'That's right,' James added. 'Top-secret.' Lily frowned. Why wouldn't they tell her?
Maybe they thought this prank was too
dangerous to tell anyone. Lily was sure they
were up to no good so she decided to find
out secretly. Lily told this too Melissa and
she agreed. Ever since then, James and
Sirius were a little quiet and kept on giving
glances to Lily. Soon, a boy joined their
gang. He was called Remus Lupin. Remus
had light brown hair and green eyes. To
Lily, he seemed like a person who payed
attention to his work. Not a person who
does pranks all the time. Lily and Melissa
shared a dormitory along with Melissa's
sister (Lauren) and her friend (Roxanne).
Lily raised an eyebrow when she first saw
Melissa and Lauren together. There was
some feud between them way stronger than Lily and Petunia. Lily decided not to
interfere. Lauren and Melissa where twins
and Melissa was older than Lauren.
Hogwarts was going well for Lily. Except for
a few annoyance at James and his gang.
She excelled at Potions and DADA. She got
top marks in the beginning of year tests.
She was surprised as she wasn't originally
a wizard. Melissa excelled at other subjects
but not the best. James surprisingly
scraped good grades. Same with Sirius. Lily
was suspicious as she never saw Sirius
and James studying. A few weeks into
Term 1, James and Sirius decided to hatch
their plans. Ever since the first day, Lily has
not been very friendly to James and thought
of him as a snob and called him other
names so James decided to get back at
her. One day, Lily woke up and someone shouted. She looked around but it was just
the girls getting ready. The voice got louder
and it kept on saying. 'Lily, you are mean.
Rude. Annoying. Unfair.' And worst of all in
a whiny voice. Lily growled.
'What's wrong Lily?' Melissa asked.
Lily didn't respond but said, 'I will get back
at those jerks. They're so annoying.'
'Lily. What did they do?' Melissa insisted.
Lily gritted her teeth, 'Those bastards put a
spell on my ear and till it wears of, I have to
listen to what they say about me. ALL DAY.'
'Why don't we do a prank back at them?'
Melissa suggested. Lily though of this for a while. Then agreed. They asked Remus to
help them and the plan was set but they
were going to do it the next day.
Unfortunately for Lily, the end of term
exams were coming up and Lily had a test
today and was sure she failed it because of
the annoying voice in her head. James and
Sirius sniggered when they heard that Lily
got the lowest score while they got the
highest instead of second as usual. Finally,
the spell weared off and Lily decided to do
the prank as fast as she could. The prank
was to put some liquid on both James and
Sirius's soap (which Remus has access to)
and depending on the liquid, their whole
body will be in another colour.
'I can't wait to see the outcome,' Lily
smirked while she and Melissa waited for Remus to see if he wasn't caught. Remus
appeared in the common room and headed
towards Lily and Melissa.
'The plan was a success,' Remus
announced. 'They currently having their
shower.' Just then, two voices screamed. It
belonged to James and Sirius. Remus,
Melissa and Lily giggled.
'Remus,' someone called out. It was Peter
Pettigrew. He had mousey brown hair and
blue eyes. He was a short person and
wasn't noticed much. Lily was a bit
suspicious of him. 'Come upstairs. You
should see this.' Remus winked at Melissa
and Lily and the three knew it worked. A
few minutes later, James and his gang
came down into the common room. Everyone guffawed. James face and
arms were filled with purple spots while
Sirius had green spots. They looked
ridiculous.
'LILY EVANS!' James yelled. 'Change me
back at once!'
'And me,' Sirius added although he seemed
to enjoy it.
Lily looked at them. 'Oh I can't. The spell
has to wear of.'
James looked like he would blow up and
stormed out of the room while yelling, 'Lily
Evans! You have made a new enemy.'
