Prologue
"Friends. A simple word isn't it? It's uttered everyday to almost every person imaginable. Who are your friends? I used to think that friends were the people that you could laugh and talk to. Now I know that friends aren't that, they're the people that touch ur heart. You could spend hours with them doing nothing at all and it can be the best time of your life, just because it was with them. They're the people you can share your secrets with, cry with, laugh with, and just have fun with. They don't judge you or make you change. They accept you exactly as you are. They look at you and they see a great person, one they love spending time with. You all share something in common and are tied together by memories, tears, laughs and smiles. You're tied together by love for the other. Friendship is the strangest but greatest thing in the world. I find my time with my friends, the best times of my life. My friends are my heart, my soul, my fun, my laughter, tears, love and my life." -Kate Tierney
My friends are more precious to me then anything, they have stuck with me from the day I stepped on that train, lost and confused. Actually, we met before we got on the train...
"Hey, do you need some help?" I turned to see a short girl with fire red hair and large chocolate brown eyes,I now know her as Hannah. Next to Hannah was a girl with wavy, chestnut brown hair and dark blue eyes, thats dear old Addie. They carried trunks like mine and I knew they were going to Hogwarts.
I knew how to get on the platform but I was scared, what if it didn't work? This would be my first time in the wizarding world, on the Hogwarts Express, at Hogwarts, my new home and life. "Are you muggleborn?" asked the Hannah and I nodded, the Addie smiled, she seemed more shy then the Hannah but seemed to understand how hard it was.
"We're pure-bloods," stated the Hannah, smiling at me. "I'm Hannah and this is Addie." They helped me onto the platform, Hannah talked alot but Addie kept quiet, until she got a chocolate frog...She was scary when hyper, now we just keep her away from the stuff.
I remember getting sorted, I was so frightened but when Addie and Hannah got sorted in to Gryffindor I knew I wouldn't be lonely...Everything got better when I meet my three other best friends, Reb, Kat and Cat./i
I am not saying my life is perfect because its not true, for one, my sister Petunia has hardly talked to me for seven years since I got my first letter. I have James Potter, also known as the most arrogant jerk in history, always follows me and won't drop this idiotic lust for me.
Then there is Kat...We all love her to death but the thing is, I feel sorry for her. I never knew until thrid year when Addie told me...I soon then understood why she dated so much, guy to guy, love to love, she needed love...Thats why I stress the love of friendship for her, because she needs us...and she needs to know that.
I thought that nothing could break this huge bound of friendship we had, it seemed beyond friendship, it seemed like sisterly love, this huge bound of the six of us that could not be broken. Unfortunatly in our last year of Hogwarts this huge bound was tested.
Our last year we all found love, and others found heartbreak, we were in denial and some of us were just totally confused...As hard as our last year was it would prove if our friendship was as strong as we say it is, it will prove that against all the odds that, Lily Evans, Addie Louiselle, Reb Saragamo, Kat Ynchausti, Cat Evans, and Hannah Rose have the huge bound of friendship that can never be broken.
As much as it pains me to say...I may have been wrong...I think, maybe I was wrong...
It was seven years ago when we first met, seven long years and now I stand in front of the Great Hall. A girl wore crimsim and gold dress robes, her fire red hair was pulled up and she was laughing at somthing her sister said and I slowly walked over. I have never feared walking over to or talking to her before, we were best friends...
"We weren't strong enough," she turned and looked at me and said nothing.
"Guess there is no hope" she stated. "Remember, if this frienship can't survive there is no hope for anyone."
"There is still hope," I sighed.
"Very little," responded Hannah coolly, she glared over at Addie who was standing by her brothers. "Very litte hope at all."
"Attention, graduating class of 1978," Hannah walked back over with her family and I wondered...Maybe I could fix this, why did our huge bound break?
As fast as we became friends, as many years of laughter and tears, of all the secrets and hugs it had broken so fast and it happened with one little fight.
