"Wake up freak!" Petunia yelled. "Wake up!"

I groan and roll over, covering my face with my soft pillow. Locks of my fiery, red hair are spread out of my bed, probably knotted and tangled. I'm the only red head in the family and I've got a temper to match my "fire hair" as my dad says. My sister and I look nothing alike. I'm short with wavy red hair and have brilliant green eyes. Meanwhile, my sister is tall with blond hair and a long neck.

"Wake up Lily!"

I rather reluctantly open one eye and glance at her. She's glaring at me with her hands on her hips. Ah, if only looks could kill.

"What?" I ask grumpily considering its only 7:00 on a Sunday morning. You might not think it's so bad, but we late sleepers could do with a least 4 more hours.

"Mum said that you have to get ready to go to your freak school." She replied snottily then sashayed out the door.

I totally forgot! Today I get to go back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for my seventh final year. I don't know what I'll do after Hogwarts. Nowhere is safe with Voldemort around. Anyways, my sister pretty much hated me ever since I got my acceptance letter to Hogwarts when I was eleven. She likes to call me a freak and makes my life miserable. It's all because I can do magic. When I was little, I remember when strange things used to happen. For example, Petunia and I got into a pretty nasty fight about who had Petunia's toy, (I know pretty sad for a fight, right?) and somehow Petunia's lamp fell and got smashed. She said that somehow this was my fault even though I wasn't even near the lamp. Every time something weird happened, Petunia begged me to stop. And then I got my letter. On September 1, I went to platform 9 ¾ and ran into the brick wall that led to the Hogwarts Express. After a couple of hours hanging out with my mates, Marlene McKinnon, Alice Prewett, and Emmeline Vance, I finally arrived at Hogwarts. Unfortunately, even at a place as perfect as Hogwarts, there is bound to be a problem. Thus the reason why I met James Potter. Potter is arrogant, thickheaded, and a bully. Of course he is the most popular boy in school. So, since I'm not the luckiest sort, Potter had to have a random obsession with a certain innocent red headed girl. Because boys are boys, Potter decided to show his affection by including me in various pranks and teasing. Thanks, Potter. Then a miracle happened! An idea actually got into his big head! So on came his asking me out escapades. It always ended in me saying no, (of course) and hexing him into oblivion. Ooops. I'm not a bad person, I just have a fiery temper. That's all. Honestly, my mates love me. Anyway, I guess there is another thing I should mention about myself. I'm crazy. No, not I-just-came-out-of-Azkaban crazy, more like lets-do-something-fun-but-remember-to-follow-the-rules crazy. I'm a bit of a rule follower. My friends on the other hand…. Well, Marlene MicKinnon is a Quidditch player and has a special you only live once kind of spirit. Alice Prewett is sensitive, shy, and sweet, but you don't want to get on her bad side. (Er… not like I've been there or anything) Emmeline Vance is competitive and kind and is the kind of person people come to if they need to cheer up. And then there is me: stubborn, smart, and a rule follower.

I roll out of bed and get dressed. I smell my mum cooking my goodbye breakfast. (Since today is the day I leave for Hogwarts.) My family are all muggles, non-magical folk, (I sound like I'm quoting an ancient book or something.) besides me. They don't quite understand what magic really is. I've tried numerous times to explain why potions is so great or why transfiguration continues to haunt my nightmares, but they just don't understand. I'll just complain to my mates about transfiguration on the train. That remind me of my extraordinary, amazing, awesome accomplishment I've been waiting for since first year. I, Lily Evans, has officially become Head Girl. I get to help younger kids out and help lead Hogwarts. Plus the Head Girl and Head Boy get their own room. (Yes! No more locking yourself in the bathroom so you can brush your teeth in peace without your roommates interrupting you.) I wonder who the Head Boy will be. I hope it's no one awful like Snape.

I throw random items scattered across the floor into my trunk. This is my version of packing. All I do is charm my trunk to expand and I basically stuff all my belongings into it. Then, I finish with a lightening charm. Simple. After I finish "packing" I clamor down the stairs to the kitchen. There I see my mum making homemade waffles topped with fresh strawberries and whip cream.

"Hey mum!" I said cheerfully while grabbing myself a waffle and sitting down.

"Hi dear! When do you have to been on the train?" Mum asks

"11:00" I replied, my mouth full of waffles.

"Alright. Petunia decided not to come. Meet me in the car in 15 minutes."

"Ok" I said while walking upstairs

I walked up to my room and dragged my trunk somewhat gracefully down the stairs. Then I shoved my trunk into the trunk of Mum's car. I climb into the passenger seat and wait for my mum to come down. My mum gets in the car and starts to drive to Kings Cross Station. Soon it's time for me to go.

"See you later, Mum." I said

"See you soon, sweetie." She said while giving me a hug.

I grab my trunk and run toward platform 9 ¾. I calmly walk into the brick wall. (Well as calm as a person can considering their walking into a brick wall) I magically appeared on the other side. There was the magnificent Hogwarts Express. I stand there for a moment admiring its beauty. Then I carry my trunk inside the train and try to find a compartment. All of the sudden, I'm knocked over by a blur of long blond hair.

"Emma!" I squeak "Get off me!"

"Oh, sorry!" Emma said cheerfully.

"Marlene and Alice are over here! We have so much to catch up on." Emma replied as she led me over to the compartment.

I followed her and soon saw my friends.

"Hi Lily!" Marlene and Alice said in unison.

"Hey. What's new?" I replied

"I have a new boyfriend! His name is Frank Longbottom." Alice told me.

"That's great Alice! He's a Gryffindor right?" I exclaimed

"Yeah! I'll be right back. I want to talk to him about something." Alice left, her robes billowing behind her.

"Merlin! I'm so late for the Head's meeting! See you later." I said rushing out the door.

I finally came to the right compartment and came in.

"I'm so sorry I'm late! I lost track of time." I apologized talking fast.

"Evans?" said a boy who's voice is horribly familiar.

I groaned. "Potter?"

"Er yeah?"

"Merlin! Why would Dumbledore ever pick you for Head Boy?"

"I'm honestly wondering the same thing." Potter said quietly.

"So you're Head Boy and I'm Head Girl so that means…." I said thinking out loud.

"We have to work together without killing each other." Potter finished.

"Well, someone's negative." I muttered.

"What are we going to do?" I thought.
