Lily
Evans, the red-haired girl who
married The Famous James Potter
and
died protecting her 1-year-old son Harry Potter.
Here's
my version of her life:
A warm sunny morning in July,
The
first day in the summer holidays.
All the kids were out
playing except the ones who were on there way to Disney land or
somewhere else to spend their summer.
But there was one girl
who wasn't with any of these kids,
She was in her garden with
a very cute kitten called Snowy (because it was as white as the snow)
Mrs. Hutson owned it, but
Lily Evans felt like Snowy belonged
to her, it was always somewhere near her, if she had to go inside
Snowy would run after her or jump up to the window and sit there
looking sad after her.
That was why she almost always was
outside.
She didn't have any one else to play with, the other
kids didn't want her with them because of her red flamey hair and her
weird green eyes and she was only 5, so to get revenge Lily sometimes
played pranks on them and when they told their parents and they went
to yell at her she just gave them her "Very innocent Puppy
eyes", it always worked.
Suddenly Snowy ran into the
bushes "Where are you going Snowy?" Lily said and looked
behind her
to see what it was that scared Snowy.
There
was a big noisy moving truck stopping at the empty house
next-door.
That made Lily very curious so she walked over to
the truck.
And a beautiful lady stepped out followed by a
little boy who seemed to be on Lily's age.
"Hi! Are you
moving in?" Lily asked them.
"Jep" The boy
said, "I'm James Potter"
"Lily Evans, your new
neighbor" Lily said and smiled.
"Where do you live?"
James asked,
"Over there" Lily said and pointed at
her house, "Wanna see my room?"
"Sure"
James said, "Can I go mom?"
"Alright but be
home before it gets dark" Mrs. Potter said.
"Thanks"
James said and ran after Lily who was already on her way to her
House.
That started a whole new chapter in Lily's
Life.
She and James got best friends very quick and Lily
forgot almost all about the other kids.
Lily was as happy as
ever! But it all ended on a day in September when she was 9 years
old...
The school bell had just called everyone into class,
including James and Lily's.
They sat down together in the back
of the classroom next to the window.
"God morning class"
A black-haired woman walked inside.
"God morning Ms.
Treestone" The class said already bored by this woman who could
make any one fall asleep only by talking.
"Today we have
a new student with us" Ms. Treestone said and that made the
whole class awake again, full of Curiosity.
"This is
Sirius Black" Ms Treestone continued and a boy walked in.
He
was quit handsome with long black-hair and blue eyes and a grin on
his lips.
"Sit down over there next to James" Ms.
Treestone said to Sirius and pointed at Lily's and James'
table.
"Oki doki" Sirius said and walked over to
James and sat down on the empty seat not nervous at all.
"Hi
I'm James" James said.
"And I'..." Lily was cut
of, by Ms. Treestone: "Well everyone, find your books please and
read the story on P. 62 two and two together.
"Want to be
my partner?" James asked Sirius.
"Jep" Sirius
grinned and Lily sat there feeling very betrayed, she looked around
but saw that everyone had a partner so she decided to read alone, she
was not going to tell it to Ms. Treestone because then she would
probably want to read with her.
After school Lily was supposed
to play with James at his house but before she could even say
"James?" she saw him and Sirius walk over to James
house...
And that was only the beginning; James totally
ignored Lily and didn't even say hi to her when she walked past
him.
But then Sirius or James got that Idea to play a prank on
Lily, and they thought it was so fun that they started to play a
prank on her at least once a day and the pranks only got crueler and
crueler.
But after 4 months of that she had had enough, she
begged her parents to move so they moved over to London-to a bigger
house and a better school.
She didn't really get new friends
there but at least they didn't play pranks on her.
It was an
okay life for her but that all changed at her 11 years
birthday...:
She was in her room reading a book she had gotten
from Petunia in a birthday present.
Suddenly something flew
right through her open window and banged into the wall!
Quickly
Lily got up to see what it was.
On the floor there was a brown
owl, it looked to be very old.
"Oh my god" Lily said
terrified, "Are you okay?"
She took the owl up and
placed it on her bed.
What the hell is it doing here? Was her
first thought
but like the owl read her mind it stretched out
its right food towards her.
Tied around it there was an
envelope, Lily untied it and looked at the front of it where
there
with green letters stood:
L. Evans
Up the stairs and room
to the left.
Floweralley 34
London
Lily read it
again and again until she finally decided to open the envelope to see
what was inside it. Inside there was a letter which she grabbed and
fowled out so she could read what stood:
Hogwarts - School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmaster: Armando Dippet
Dear
Miss Evans
We are pleased to inform you that you have accepted
at
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Please find
enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term
begins on September 1.
we await your owl no later than July
31.
Yours Sincerely
Albus Dumbledore
Deputy
Headmaster
what do they mean by "We await your owl"?
Lily thought.
She found a piece of paper and wrote:
Dear
Mr. Dumbledore
I'm sorry but I have a question for you.
Am
I a witch?
I mean I have to be sure because
I do not
want to find out that this is yet another cruel
prank.
-Lily
Evans
Lily was right about to send the letter when the
doorbell rang.
She rose up and went down to get it.
In
the doorway there stood a man with Black messy hair.
"Hello
I'm Harold Potter" The man said and shook Lily's hand.
Is
that James father? I never saw him when I was at James house.
He
always said that he was somewhere in Africa.
"I'm Lily Evans"
Lily said hoping James hadn't told his father about her.
"yes
I know that, I'm here to help you to get to Diagonally so you can buy
your school supplies," Mr. Potter said.
"How come?"
Lily asked confused,
"Because you are a muggleborn and if I
wouldn't be here to help you, you would probably think this was a
cruel joke" Mr. Potter said.
"Muggleborn? What does that
mean?" Lily asked.
"A muggle is someone who has absolute
no magic in their blood, and a muggleborn is witch who comes from
muggles" Mr. Potter said and walked inside.
"Have you
shown your parents the letter?"
"No" Lily
said.
"Well go and fetch the letter so you can tell them now"
Mr. Potter said and lily raced upstairs and got the letter.
"Now
where are your parents?" Mr. Potter asked and took the
letter.
"Inside the living room" Lily said and pointed
at a closed door which led to the living room.
"Alright"
Mr. Potter said and opened the door.
"Wait" Lily
whispered and Mr. Potter turned around.
"Don't tell them your
surname," Lily said and added when she saw Mr. Potter's confused
face "It's a long story but just don't okay?"
"Okay"
Mr. Potter said and walked through the open door.
"Mum, dad I
got a letter earlier today which I think you should read" Lily
said to her parents who were sitting on the coach watching "Days
of your life"
"What is it Hun?" Mum said and looked
at the stranger who was handing her a letter.
"Read it"
Lily said, and her mom gave her one last look and then read the
letter.
"Oh my god! I thought the pranks would stop once we
moved" Mrs. Evans said.
"It isn't a joke mom" Lily
said, "Tell her Harold"
"I'd prefer to show it"
Mr. potter said and took a stick from his pocket
and mumbled some
funny words on Latin and suddenly one of the lamps raised a foot or
so up in the air and back down again.
"Let me see that
letter" Mr. Evans said and took the letter from Mrs. Evans.
"Oh
that's great Hun!" Mrs. Evans said and gave Lily a hug.
"We're
so proud of you!" Mr. Evans said and looked like Christmas had
come early this year.
"But what are you doing here?"
Mrs. Evans asked Mr. Potter.
"I'm here to help Lily buy her
school supplies in diagonally" Mr. Potter said.
"Today?"
Mrs. Evans said.
"Yes"
"Can I come with you?"
Mrs. Evans looked hopefully at Mr. Potter
"Sure" He
answered and flashed her a smile.
5 min. later they were inside an
ugly and smelly pub, which Mr. Potter said was called "The leaky
caldron"
"Is this really the way to Diagonally?"
Lily asked when Mr. Potter showed them through the backdoor.
"Yup"
He said and took his wand out and tapped it on one of the stones in
the brick wall, and suddenly there was a big hole in the wall, on the
other side there was a whole alley filled with strange stores and
people in cloaks and pointy hats.
"The first we have to do is
go and get your money changed to wizard money in Gringotts" Mr.
Potter said and nodded to a big building in the other end of the
alley.
It was really big; there was a big clock on it that didn't
have numbers. Under the clock there stood with big golden letters
"Gringotts"
The
building was snow white and almost shined in the sunshine.
At the
top of the stairs up to the entrance there was a small creature that
opened the door to Gringotts for them.
"What was that?"
Lily asked.
"An elf" Mr. Potter whispered,
On
the other side of the door there was a big hall with counters all
around them.
Mr. Potter walked straight to the first counter,
"Hello we're here to get some muggle money changed to
Wizards"
"Aha" the elf said and looked a little
grumpy, "How much?"
Mrs. Evans told him the amount of
money she wanted changed and soon they were outside again.
"Where
should we go first?" Mrs. Evans asked.
"I think we
should split teams, Lily you can go over there and get your cloaks
while Mrs. Evans and I while go and buy your books over there, and
we'll met at the café over there" Mr. Potter said.
So
Lily went over to an old looking building where there was a sign that
said:
"Madam Malkins"
Lily
opened the door and heard a small bell ring in the back of the room,
a small lady walked over to her.
"Hello my dear" She
said and smiled, "Hogwarts?"
Lily nodded and the Lady
showed her through a door to the right.
"Is this your first
year?" She asked while she started to measure her.
"Yes"
Lily said,
"That's it, just sit over there and I'll go and
get your cloaks done" The lady said and walked away.
Lily sat
down and noticed that there was a boy in the room, he had black hair
and looked very much like...
"Hi I'm James Potter," He
said,
"Hi" Lily said and tried to look away.
"Well
are you gonna tell me your name?" James asked.
But before
Lily got the chance to answer the lady came back,
"Here you
go," She said and Lily hurried out of the store,
She hurried
so much that she didn't she the boy that was walking down the alley,
so she bumped right into him.
"Oh I'm so sorry" Lily
said and stood up.
"A pretty one" The greasy haired boy
just said and started to walk over to her but Lily backed away until
she could fell the wall behind her.
The boy was right about to say
something when James walked out of Madam Malkins.
"Hey! Get
away from her git" He said.
"Isn't it the famous Potter"
The boy said.
"And the very famous and handsome Black" A
boy said with a grin and walked over to James.
Not Sirius too Lily
thought and felt a wave of rage come over her, which she
unfortunately for the greasy haired boy turned right at him and
kicked him hard in the place boys never liked to be kicked.
The
greasy haired boy crumpled up and felt down.
"That was one
hell of a kick girl!" Sirius said amazed.
Lily gave him an angry
look and walked away to the Café she and her mom and Mr.
Potter were going to met.
They weren't there yet so Lily bought
her self an ice cream and sat down enjoying the sunshine.
"Wasn't
it here she walked in?" Lily looked up and saw James and Sirius
talking.
"Jep she's sitting over there all alone, let's join
her" James said.
"Hi are those seats taking?"
Sirius asked.
"Jep" Lily said and hoped they would go
away.
"Really? I don't see anyone" James said.
"I'm
waiting for someone," Lily said.
"Whose the someone?"
Sirius asked.
"My mom and your dad" Lily said and nodded
to James.
"My Dad?" James said.
What the hell am I
doing, now they won't leave for sure Lily though and mentally
slapped her self.
"Yes he came to my house to escort me and
mom to Diagonalley" Lily said.
"But, I thought he was
dead! And how do you know he's my dad" James said.
"I'll
be off then" Lily said and threw the rest of her ice cream in
the trashcan and was going to stand up but James stopped her,
"Not
before you tell me how you know he's my dad"
"well your
dad's name is Harold Potter right?" Lily asked and James
nodded.
"And besides you look very much like each other"
Lily said, "And now I'll be leaving"
"Well we
should be walking with you, so there isn't any more boys that are
going to push you up the wall" Sirius said grinning.
"I
am perfectly able to protect my self" Lily said
"oh Lily
you should have seen the bookstore, it was magnificent!" Mrs.
Evans said just arriving at the café with Mr. Potter, "Who
are you to?"
"I'm James and this is Sirius" James
said.
Mrs. Evans looked at Lily like asking her if it was the two
that had been so cruel to her and Lily gave her a little no.
Because
she didn't want James and Sirius to figure out that she was the girl
they had pranked in fear they would possibly start that again.
"I
thought you were dead" James said to Mr. Potter.
"James
not now" Mr. Potter just said.
"Is that your kid?"
Mrs. Evans asked.
"Yes" Mr. Potter said.
They sat in
silence for a while.
"Mom I'm going to buy my wand and the
rest of the things, you can just rest here if you want" Lily
said and stood up.
"Thanks Hun. When your done I'll be
waiting for you here okay?" Mrs. Evans said.
"Well be
going with you" James said quickly.
"Jep don't want the
git to attack you again" Sirius said.
"What? What git?"
Mrs. Evans said.
"Bye mom" Lily said and started to walk
away and Sirius and James were soon beside her again.
"Thanks
a lot Sirius, She'll be asking me again and again till I die, about
what you were talking about" Lily said.
"That's my job"
Sirius said and grinned.
"Well don't expect any tips from me
then" Lily said.
James chuckled.
"I'm gonna buy my
wand now, so just wait over there okay?" Lily said.
"Okay"
they said and Lily walked into a store with wands in the window.
She
bought her wand, and slipped out of the backdoor.
Glad that she
had got rid of Sirius and James she bought the rest of the things and
went back to the Café.
She and her mom drove back home and
Lily didn't see James or Sirius on the way out of Diagonalley.
Lily
used the rest of her holiday reading and memorizing her
schoolbooks.
On the day she was leaving to Hogwarts she awoke
early and took a quick shower.
Then she used at least 25 minutes
on finding the perfect clothes for Hogwarts.
She finally slipped
into a green tank top and jeans.
The sunshine shone through her
windows making her hair look like fire, not that it didn't already
look like fire.
Lily often hated her hair but her mom didn't want
her to color it so Lily had to live with it like that.
She looked
at her hair for a moment and gave a deep sigh and comped it and lot
it fall down her shoulders in waves.
"Breakfast is ready"
Her mom yelled up the stairs.
"I'm coming" Lily yelled
back and went down the stairs and went into the kitchen.
The
kitchen was white except for the floor, which was a fade pink with
blue dots.
Lily's mom hated that floor and was planning to color
it gray or white so it matched the rest of the kitchen. Lily was
highly against that, but what can you do when your mother hates
it?
"I've made Eggs and Bacon" Mrs. Evans said and
placed a plate witch good smelly bacon and eggs in front of Lily who
had just sat down at the small table in the middle of the
kitchen.
"Thanks" Lily said and started eating.
Mrs.
Evans started to wash the pan she had made the breakfast on.
"No
hurry up dear, I'll be driving you to Kings cross but I can't stay
there for long. I'm sorry Hun but I have a meeting I have to go to"
Mrs. Evans said and placed the washed pan back on it's place.
"All
right mom" Lily said and finished her breakfast and went back to
her room to double check if she had remembered to pack
everything.
After a final look at her room she struggled to get
the trunk down the stairs (she actually just lot it fall down) and
her mom helped her to get it up into the car.
Mrs. Evans started
the car and they were off.
Lily looked after the house, missing it
already.
Mrs. Evans turned the radio and started to listen to a
symphony playing Mozart.
"Mom please, can't you wait until
I'm out of the car again?" Lily asked.
"Just a moment,"
Mrs. Evans said and started to wave her left hand like she was the
one who was directing.
"mom!" Lily said and rolled her
eyes.
"Alright then" Mrs. Evans said and turned the
radio off just as the arrived at Kings cross.
"Go and fetch
one of those over there" Mrs. Evans said and nodded at some
Luggage carrier.
Lily got one of them and went back and somehow
she got her very heavy trunk lifted on it.
"Well goodbye Hun"
Mrs. Evans said and gave Lily a big hug.
"Goodbye mom"
Lily said and rolled her trunk into the station.
Okay Mr. Potter
told me how to get to the platform, hope he wasn't joking Lily
thought and walked straight to the pillar between Platform 10 and
9.
She then looked around to see if anyone was looking and then
went straight at it, when she was almost there she closet her eyes
but nothing happened.
She stopped and opened them and saw she was
standing near a jet-black train where there stood "Hogwarts
Express" on.
Well now I know he wasn't kidding Lily thought
and went inside the train.
She looked for an empty compartment but
didn't find one, at last she was in the last compartment and she
peeked in, no one was there so she happily sat down and looked out
the window.
The train ride was quickly over and Lily got sorted to
Gryfindor, but to her sadness James and Sirius too were in
Gryfindor.
Now it was her seventh and final year...
A/N: Tood bad, you have to wait till next chapter to hear about that ;) Please R&R!
