Prologue
The Evans family, of 44 King's Road seem like a completely normal family. Steven and Rose Evans live in an average sized house with their two daughters, Lily and Petunia. The sisters bicker constantly when they are in each other's presence, but doesn't that happen to plenty of other siblings?
The only thing that seems odd about their family is the fact that Lily and Petunia go to completely different schools. Petunia goes to a public school just outside of London, while Lily goes to a boarding school in Scotland. Why do they go to different schools? Why is Petunia not going to the boarding school Lily is attending? Why doesn't Lily go to public school like Petunia?
To answer these questions, it would reveal their family's biggest secret. Their secret sounds so outrageous that people would probably accuse them of going bonkers. But, they can guarantee that it was the complete truth. The youngest Evans daughter, Lily, is a witch.
They found this out when they received a visit from an older woman named Minerva McGonagall four years prior. McGonagall explained that Lily possessed the power to control magic. They had a hard time believing that Lily was a witch, until Lily admitted that she was already aware that she coul control magic.
Apparently, Lily was told about the wizarding world by her best friend, named Severus Snape. He is Lily's friend that she met when she was 9. He is magical as well and is the same age as her.
McGonagall went on to explain that she is a teacher at a school that teaches students how to use their magic. The reason that she came was to ask Lily to attend this school. The school that she teaches at is known as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The school is a castle located in Scotland.
The Evans were very skeptical about the offer, but had one question that needed to be answered before they would even consider accepting; Why were they only aware of the wizarding world now? McGonagall informed them that it was due to Lily being a muggle-born. A muggle-born is a witch or wizard who was born to two people who don't have it in their blood to control magic.
After the brilliant explanations and McGonagall's promise to help Lily get supplies to the school, they finally agreed to allow Lily to attend. It was the best decision that the Evans ever made, at least in Lily's opinion.
Her parents thought that the school was perfect for her and she couldn't help but agree. Lily was easily able to fit in at Hogwarts. Hogwarts has 4 houses that separate students based on personality traits that they possess. The 4 houses are Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin and Gryffindor. They sort students by a magical sorting hat that can access your mind to determine which house would fit you best. The sorting hat had sorted her into Gryffindor, the house of the brave and daring. She doesn't really understand how she possessed those traits, but she trusts the sorting hat's judgment.
She has made many friends at school, you could even call her popular. Lily is known for being an incredible person and incredibly beautiful. Lily has flowing auburn hair with sparkling emerald eyes. She is also the most brilliant witch of her year. She is always the top of her class and all of her teachers adore her. She was even recently made the female prefect for 5th year Gryffindors!
One very important thing that you should know about Lily is that she has a very short temper. She truly does have a heart of gold, but if you get on her bad side, she'll probably rip your head off. She doesn't really have anyone on her bad side except for one person: James Potter.
To her, he's just an arrogant, bullying toerag. He's always taunting her best friend for no reason. He is always claiming that her best friend, Severus is a future death eater.
That's completely ridiculous! Severus would never join You-Know-Who! Why would he? He's best friends with her, a muggle-born witch! Just because he's in Slytherin doesn't mean he's interested in practicing the dark arts!
Another thing she doesn't like about Potter is that he won't stop asking her out. Is the guy really that arrogant to think that she would go out with him? He's never given her a reason to give him a chance. The only redeeming qualities he has about him is that he's extremely handsome and a brilliant wizard. He's also very athletic since he's a chaser and the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Those qualities don't mean anything though. They're too superficial. Sure she doesn't really know him, but to her he just seems like a jerk with no heart.
Maybe he's A future death eater! He's never defended muggle-borns. If he's willing to be a bully, who knows what else he's willing to do. Though secretly she knew that he would never become a death eater.
Even though he's a jerk, he's never called a muggle-born that foul name. Besides why would he ask her out if he was prejudice? It's probably a sick joke him and his friends came up with.
The Marauders they call themselves. They're the biggest pranksters in the entire school. Potter seems to be the leader of their group, along with his best friends, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew.
Sirius Black is definitely Potter's best friend of the group. He is a tall boy with long, lustrous black hair and striking grey eyes. He has a well-built body from being a beater on the Gryffindor Quidditch team and has a handsome face to match. You can often see girls ogling him in the hallway and classrooms. He is a very talented wizard with a playful and mischievous personality, but he has no control over his anger.
She doesn't know him very well, but it's obvious he has an explosive temper. If he doesn't like someone, he will make to humiliate and bully that person. Usually it's the Slytherins, particularly Severus.
Even though his behavior is unacceptable, it's kind of hard to blame him. He was born to a family of dark wizards. You would assume that he'd be a dark wizard as well, but he's quite the opposite. He proved as much when he was sorted into Gryffindor, instead of Slytherin, like the rest of his family. It's common knowledge at Hogwarts that he despises his family.
Remus isn't that bad to Lily. Remus is a tall, sandy haired boy with green eyes. He's also a very good wizard. Lily was willing to bet that he was the male prefect for 5th year Gryffindors. He was easily the most mature and responsible of the group. He had never took a part in the bullying and at least tried to remain civil to those who he disliked. He was a marauder, so it's quite obvious he has a good sense of humor. The only negative thing about him is that he does nothing to stop his friends from bullying others.
Lastly, there is Peter Pettigrew. He is a short and chubby boy with mousy brown hair and watery blue eyes. He joined in on the bullying, but he honestly wasn't a very good wizard. He doesn't really fit in with the rest of the Marauders that well, but the group still accepts him into the group somehow.
Ok, maybe The Marauders aren't the worst people in the world, but that doesn't mean that she likes them. Like she said before, she doesn't really know them. So far, the only marauder that she'd be willing to give a chance to is Ramus or maybe even Peter. She maybe even give a chance to Sirius if they ever properly meet, but there is another no way for her to give Potter a chance.
The day she gives James Potter a chance is the day that her best friend, Severus Snape calls her a mudblood. There is no chance of that ever happening, so Lily was easily able to make this promise to herself.
