"I can't believe it, I won't believe it! I'm a witch! No way!" Lily cried at the top of her lungs, she didn't believe it, nor did her sister Petunia. "It's a big joke, a prank, that's all it is it has to be." She tried to convince herself as much as anyone that this couldn't be true. Eleven year old Lily Evans had long wavy red hair, deep green eyes, full soft lips and a cute button nose, she was 5 ½ ft tall and looked to mature to be eleven, a lot of guys were into her but she never cared about them. She looked down at the letter in her hand, it read:

Go to the leaky cauldron in London I will be there to help you get your books and things

So two weeks later Lily was in an empty compartment at the back of the scarlet train trying to calm her nerves down when the door slid open and three boys came in, the tallest was thin he had black hair and ice cold blue eyes that sparkled with mischief, one was Lily's height with messy black hair and big brown eyes that were hidden behind wire framed glasses, the other boy was smaller than the others with brown hair and haunted grey eyes. When they saw Lily the boy with blue eyes asked, " can we sit in here?"p
"Sure, I don't see why not" Lily replied in a offhand voice without looking up except when the boy said " I'm Sirius Black and this is James Potter" he pointed at the boy with messy hair " and this is Remus Lupin" he pointed to the boy with brown hair. "Who are you?" he asked, his eyes sparkling again.p
"Lily Evans" Lily said. "Are you from wizarding families?"p
" Yes" James replied. " Are you?"p
"No, I'm what you would call muggle-born" Lily said " I'm never gonna keep up"p
" Are you first year?" Sirius asked before he could stop himself.p
" Yes I'm first year. Can you tell me everything about the wizarding world?" Lily pleaded so they stared to tell her everything, including all the mischief they had got up to over the summer.
Later at the feast, the sorting had been and gone and Lily, James, Sirius and Remus were put in Gryffindor along with two other girls: Alison Witheford, a tall, thin girl with clear blue eyes and long silvery blonde hair (BR/N: Note the hair colour... yes you guessed it) and Kaye Cooper who looked like sleeping beauty.p
Alison, Kaye and Lily were talking about classes and didn't notice James reach over and tap Lily's plate and say something, sounding suspiciously like a curse. Lily was just finishing saying that how cool it would be to be an Animagi (Kaye had brought it up) when Lily took a bite of her roast chicken dinner when a flash of purple light lit up the hall. Alison and Kaye gasped!p Where Lily had been seconds before a huge Hungarian Horntail was seething angrily on the floor! Several Gryffindor girls screamed as she snorted a ball of flame to the enchanted ceiling. The dragon swiftly jumped onto the table and faced Sirius, James and Remus, drawing breath. A torrent of flame burst from the dragon, it was so lucky Remus knew the flame freeze curse, but even so, Sirius got his eyebrows singed. Lily drew breath again when she turned back with a 'pop' and looked startled... then ready to kill; But only for a moment, then she burst out laughing " Potter, don't you think I learnt anything from you three while on the train?" she snorted between fits of giggles. pThen on Lily's cue, Kaye and Alison leaned over and said "Blubberus Lotus" with wands pointed to wards the three boys. Gales of laughter spread through the hall, everyone was hopelessly rolling on the floor, even a few snorts were heard from the Slytherin end of the hall. The boys had looks of pure horror on their faces as they examined each other... they had expanded to sumo size with their robes bursting at the seams, magically stretched five times their usual size.p
Kaye, Alison and Lily took them up to the hospital wing but couldn't stop laughing.p
None of them got there uninjured because the boys, James got Lily with a body-bind charm, Sirius made Kaye lose half her fingers and Remus cursed Alison with Jelly-Legs but Kaye knew the counter-curse and Alison knocked the boys out before they caused more trouble.p
When they finally got to the hospital wing Madam Pompfrey rushed over and made the girls lie down on some of the beds and took the boys over the other side of the room to take care of them. p
The next morning when Lily woke she saw straight away James was awake and looked normal, so she went over and was about to say sorry for last night when she saw he was grinning p
"What's so funny?" she asked p
"Oh nothing" James answered airily p
"Tell me" she demanded p
"No"p
"Why not?" p
"Because"p
Just then Lily burst out laughing p
"What's so funny" James demanded p
"Oh, I was just remembering what you looked like last night" Lily replied between giggle fits p
"Hey no fair" came the call from behind the curtains to the left and when Lily drew them aside to reveal Siriusp
" What's not fair?" Kaye asked p
"That James has someone to 'moon' over him and I don't" Sirius said in mock hurtp
"Oh poor baby I'll 'moon' over you in a minute" Kaye said grinning.p
p
They were allowed to go down to lunch later that day (classes didn't start for a week) when they walked into the great hall there was a definite increase in the volume from all the houses, no one was in any doubt why. A barn owl flew over and dropped a letter on Lily's head. She took the letter and read out loud:p
p
h4To Miss Evans, p
Would you, Mr. Black, Mr. Potter, Mr. Lupin, Miss Witheford and Miss cooper please stay behind after lunch, as I would like to talk to you all.p

A/N: hello thank you for reading my first fic, I'm trying to make this a interactive fic so tell me what you want to happen tell me what you liked (if anything) and what you hated. Thanks. Laura the authorp
Dedication: this is for everyone but more than anyone the real Alison Witheford (BR/N That's me!) and, yeah.p
BR/N: Yeah yeah, flame away all you like about how bad my sense of gramma and spelling is, but this story was Laura's crazy idea (trust her). This story is OUR creation though... AND SHE GETS TO POST IT UNDER HER NAME!! Oh well... I do all the hard work and she gets all the credit for it. Never mind. Oh, and yeah, the Alison Witheford in the story is a character Laura created using my name, so AW the character is no way like AW the beta reader. Oh yeah, All BR/N's are from me... as it is a really boring job trying to decipher Laura's gramma sometimes (HINT HINT LAURA) Oh well... my bit is done for the week... next posting should be in about a week if Laura does her usual trick of writing fic's during Maths, English, P.E, Social Studies and Science! C YA! Alison da Beta Reader.p /center
