AN Hey!! So this is the first chapter of my first story and I'm really excited!!! So anyway, disclaimer is....drum roll please....I don't own Harry Potter, but I do own the characters and most of the ideas (ok yes I took some small ideas hear and there from other stories so if you come across something that you've written, take it as a compliment cause that's how I meant it!!) and sorry for any spelling mistakes and im oviously not Brittish so...although i wish i had a Brittish accent cause there wicked asome

"NO! Please stop!" Mum screamed in pain. Voldemort stood over her and laughed. Then he pointed his want at her and a green light filled the room and she was silent.

The bodies of the rest of my family and friends were strewn around the room like dolls. I was on the floor crying.

He walks over to me, smiles and says, "I'm going to kill you like I have killed so many others." He points his wand at me and-

TAP TAP TAP

"Uuuuuh."

TAP TAP TAP

"I'm goin I'm goin."

THUMP

Ow. I got up and went to window to let in a Barn Owl.

She flew in and landed on my bookshelf and stretched out her leg. I unrolled the Daily Profit, took one look at the cover and rolled it back up again, there's only bad news now a days. I fond the money and put it in the pouch tied to the owl leg, she threw off and I closed the window.

The owl had woken up Elsie who was now in a rat. So I gave her some cheesecake that I had sitting out

No use trying to go back to sleep, so I decided to take a shower. After a shower I went downstairs to see my favorite, sister eating the last of my cereal. Joy.

"Tuna! What are you doing? You know that's my cereal that Mum specially got for me!" I yelled and grabbed the bowl away from her and started eating.

"What are you doing Freak?! I live in this house to so I'm entitled to any food in hear!" she yelled grabbing the bowl back.

"Yes, just not MY cereal!" by now we both had our hands on the bowl, pulling it back and forth, with milk splattering allover the floor. I let go all the sudden, and milk and soggy cereal bits covered her hair and face. I laughed but gave her a look and hit her head when she said "Bloody Hell Freak!"

She stomped off to go take a shower, and I went to go pack.


"Now remember Lily, get good grades and have fun, and don't let boys distract you to much." I nodded my head gave my mum a kiss and went through the barrier. Mums shortened her speech over the years. In my first year it lasted about 5 minutes. Shes gotten more detached ever since Dad died. Can't say I blame her though.

Suddenly I'm knocked to the floor. At first I'm start thinking that it's Death Eater about to kill me then I hear my best friend Bonnie O'Brian apologizing. I get up and look at her bouncing up and down.

Bonnie is full Irish but grew up in America because her parents wanted to "expose her to different cultures", so now she has an American accent. Shes the only blonde in a family of red heads and she has a twin named Sean.

"Someone put to much sugar in there cereal this morning." I say while putting my hands on her shoulders, holding her down.

"Well its not my fault, Fluffers ran into the window again and it scared me, so my arm slipped, and I thought it would be a waist if I threw it away so I ate it, but some one the milk spilled so it was mostly cereal and wet sugar, witch isn't that bad if your half asleep and hungry." She said as we boarded the train and started looking for the rest of our group.

"When aren't you hungry?" asked Sirius coming up behind us.

"Weeeeeeeeeeeel.... there was this one time when I was eight and I had just had a big ol bowl of mash potatoes and two cans of coke and a hand full of these little bittie watchamacalits. After that I wasn't hungry." She said blushing slightly; shes had this HUGE crush on Sirius since first year.

It was kind of pathetic really.

"I can beat that. There was this time in fifth year at the Christmas feast when I had 8 drumsticks, 7 helpings of sweet potatoes and 3 pieces of apple pie." he said smirking.

Bonnie started smiling and said, "Fourth year Christmas: 20 roles, 11 slices of turkey, 9 helping of mashed potatoes, 5 helpings of the weird casserole thing, 4 helpings of Mac and Chez, and 4 slices of apple pie."

"8 whole pizzas"

"3 chickens"

"5-"

"Can we please stop talking about how much you stuff yourselves?" I start dragging Bonnie away from Sirius while they were still taking, now yelling so that they could be heard, about how much they can eat.

"Aww you're a spoil sport." she said when they were out of yelling range.

"Yes, well someone has to be", I said while I push her into the compartment where Charlotte and Mia were sitting knowing that they would watch her and make sure she wouldn't hurt herself.

Charlotte, or Char, was tall, had mousey brown (Now with blonde highlights!!) hair with purple bangs and tips. She was the peace keeper of the group, and was always in a good mood. The only time I had seen her in a rat was when some Slitheren git nearly killed her cat LeLe. He was in the hospital wing for a week.

Mia was short with a simple hair stile and a dirty brown color. Shes quite except for when shes with us. Shes really stubborn and loyal, and when she gets mad at you she stays mad for a day or two. She once got so mad at Bonnie that she didn't talk to her for a week. Witch was really annoying because Bonnie got mad right back. They only started talking to each other when they shared a "moment" witch was watching Snape fall down some stairs.

"Hello everybody!" yelled Bonnie, "Did you miss me?"

"We miss the silence of when you weren't here" Mia said

"Thanks your so nice." said Bonnie all happy and stuff.

"I missed you Bonnie" said Char getting up to give her a hug.

"I missed you to!" Bonnie said fake crying. They stood there hugging and crying for a minute then they stop for a second, looked at each other then ran to Mia and started fake crying and hugging her. Mia doest really like hugs so she looked at me with a get-the-scary-people-off-of-me-and-ill-give-you-a-cookie-but-if-you-chose-not-to-im-gunna-be-reeeeeeeeel-mad look.

I smiled said bye, scooted out the door, and headed off to the head compartment. I let out a big sigh when I looked inside and saw James Potter. I had been so happy when I hadent seen him on the train before. Now it's all ruined.

"Well hello lovely miss Lily, how are you this fine day?"

I gave him The Look and sat down as far away from him as I possibly could, witch wasn't that far because he was sitting in the Head Boys seat and the Head Girls seat was right next to him. As Mia would say "poop for me".

"Why are you sitting in Remus' seat and wearing his badge?"

"These aren't dear Moonys things, there mine. And yes my days been excellent, thank you for asking."

"You still need to give them back from whoever you stole it from."

"But I didn't steal it"

Then you made the person give it to you."

"Nope."

"I don't believe you."

"Here is my letter." He took the letter out of his pocket and handed it to me.

"Is Dumbledore on crack?" I say without thinking.

He looked at me funny. So I mumbled "Bonnies rubbed off on me" as an excuse.

"Speaking of Bonnie", he said, "I hope she knows she just got herself into a war. Sirius is determined to 'out eat her'"

"HA! That will never happen." I said

"No ones ever out-eaten Sirius, many have tried and all have failed."

" Ill bet you anything that Bonnie will win."

"Anything?"

"Anything."

"If she loses you have to go on a date with me."

Crap. No. I'm such an idiot.

"Fine but if she wins you have to never talk to me again unless it's absolutely necessary."

That's better.

"Deal"

Bonnie better win this. If she loses I'm going to kill her, then resurrect her, then kill her again.

I spent the rest of the time waiting for all the prefects to arrive switching from wallowing in self pity and getting mad at Bonnie and her ability to eat like 20 grown starved men.

"Lily I think everyone's here, do you want to start?" James asked

"Ahem. Well I want to welcome you all back from the break and welcome the new prefects into the group. I have the sign up sheet for rounds if you want to put in what day suites you best." Everyone lined up to put there names down, except for Potter and I who had already picked out our day, Monday.

The meeting went on like that for the rest of the ride. When the train pulled into the station I went back to the compartment where my friends were to change and get my stuff. I found Remus, Peter, and Sirius had joined the compartment. Sirius was in the middle of putting a card on the tower in a game of Exploding-Snap. As soon as the card hit the tower, it exploded. When the smoke cleared his face was one of pure surprise.

Char started laughing, and Bonnie started laughing at Chars laugh and then Char started laughing at Bonnies laugh and so on. When they finally stopped everyone was looking at them like they were off there rocker. Witch they were most of the time.

"Anyway," I said breaking the silence, "Potter told me that you're waging war on Bonnie, Sirius."

"What kind of war?" asked Char.

"An eating war" said Sirius looking at Bonnie seriously.

Bonnie started straight back and said "You're on dude. And your gunna lose. Big time."

"You don't know what you getting into Sirius." Says Sean as he walks in our compartment. He noticed Mia and blushed.

Mia blushed right back and went back to the book she was reading. Those two have been like this from first year. Apparently they had this thing going when they were 7, but Mia moved away. There been aquwardness ever since they saw each other again. Witch was often because Mia and Bonnie were friends.

"You've never seen Sirius eat when he's hungry" Remus said.

"He still has no chance against Bonnie and her bottomless pit of a stomach." said Sean.

"I disagree." Remus said

"Do you want to bet?" Sean ask

"I bet were the last ones on the train." Char said.

"I agree." Said James sticking his head in the door.

They all started heading out of the compartment until it was just me Sirius and Bonnie left, who were in the middle of a staring contest.

"Come on get up you two, I have to get changed." I said

They slowly got up and walked out the door all the while keeping eye contact. I closed the door after them and changed


Once every one was seated in the Great Hall the sorting started. I wasn't paying attention though, I was whispering with Bonnie about how if she doesn't win this I wont give her any Christmas presents.

I could see Sirius and Potter whispering across the table. I'm sure that there going to cheat. The cheaters.

After the sorting and Dumbledores speech was over, Char said "Fill your plates contestations please with: 2 scoops of mashed potatoes, 3 slices of ham, 1 slice of lasagna, 4 drum sticks, and an apple."

They gave her a look so she said, "Fine take off the apple."

They smiled and got into position, empty hand and a fork over their plate. "You'll both eat until both plates are cleaned, then you'll refill the plate and start over, whoever eats the most with out throwing up or giving up wins. On your mark, get set, EAT!"

Five plates latter they were still going strong.

At ten plates they had slowed down some.

Fifteen plates and both had a sickish look about them. Most of the people in the Great Hall had left, but the ones that had stayed were gathered around the two.

Twenty-two plates had almost been eaten. Sirius had a roll left and Bonnie had half a slice turkey left. Bonnies' head was on the table with one hand on her stomach, the other hand was poking the bit pit of turkey left on her plate. Sirius' head was supported by his hand with the other holding the roll in front of his face.

", do I have to?" Bonnie groaned.

"Yes, Bonnie yes you do," I said frantically, "You can't give up! Because when you give you show weakness! Weakness is bad! Don't be bad! Cause its not good! And-"

"Lilly, shut up or I will chuck this piece of turkey at your head." Bonnie said.

"Right, just remember that weakness is bad."

A couple minutes passed by.

Sirius stood up and said "I'm full," and walked out.

All eyes went to Bonnie whose eyes got huge and started to breathe fast. "I CANT DEAL WITH ALL THE PRESSURE!" she yelled and ran out the door.

It was a tie. That's not too bad. But it's not great either.


When I went up to the Dorm, the first thing I heard was Bonnie, cursing her stupedness at accepting an eating war. She was lying down on her bed with hands over her stomach.

"Lilly, why didn't you stop me!" she glared at me.

"Potter and I made a bet." I said sitting down on my bed beside her.

"So you let me do something stupid so you could win a bet with James?" she looked at me with a betrayed look.

"Its not just any bet, this bet determines weather or not I'll go on a date with him, so I really need you to win next time." I pleaded.

"What makes you think there will be a next time? I'm bout to explode I ate so much. And that's saying something." She rolled onto her side to look at me.

"Please win next time, as your best friend I'm begging you PLEASE win." I put on my best puppy dog face, and mimed tears coming from my eyes.

"Oh fine, but I have half a mind to lose just so you would go on a date with him. He's acutely kind of cute, not my type though." Bonnie said

"We all know what your type is: tall, shaggy black hair, grey eyes." Mia said walking in with Char.

"You can't talk; your type can only be described as Sean. I can't wait till you two get married so you can be my sister." Bonnie said

"If they ever overcome shyness and actually talk to each other." Char teased, poking Mia in the side.

"Isn't it the loveliest day outside!" Mia yelled going to the window and opening it.

"Shut it! It's cold!" Char said going to the window and closing it.

"So we know who Mia, Lilly, and I like, now its your turn to tell Char."

"Wait. I don't like anybody." I said

"Course you don't," Mia said.

"I don't," I said again. I mean who could I like? There's Remus? Nah, to much like a brother. Sirius? Bonnie would kill me. Peter? No. That guy in Hufflepuff? No he has to big of a nose. What about the one in Ravenclaw? He has cute hair, but his eyes are the color of poop. The other guy in Ravenclaw? No, he needs an attitude adjustment. That's all the single guys in my class.

That's not all of them

But I couldn't like him, that's impossible

Maybe you've been in love with him.

You were pushing it with like now your talking crazy.

Am I? Am I really?

Yes. And you aren't really a you. You're my conscience.

But I'm the smart side of you.

Ha! Yeah right.

I am because I know you're in love with him.

I cant be in love with him if your not in love with him

I'm in love with him then.

No your not, cause that means I'm in love with him, witch I'm not. Maybe I find him hot, and his hair sexy, but I don't even like him.

...

Ok, maybe I sort of kinda like him.

"Lilly, your talking to your self again."

Sorta kinda?

"."

That's all I'm saying on the subject

"."

So you admit there's more

"LIIIIIIIIIII-"

I never said that

"SHUTUP!"

"What happened?" I asked

"You were talking to your self, something about 'I'm the smarter side' and 'His hair is sexy'. Would you mind telling us whose hair is sexy?" Char asked, leaning against one of the poles of her four-poster.

"Oh its quite obvious isn't?" Bonnie said swinging her legs her trunk

"James." Mia said with an evil smile from the window sill "Shes in love with James."

"What!? I'm not in love with Potter! I just had this conversation a moment ago with my Conscience! I'm bordering on liking him, but not love NEVER LOVE!!!!!" I yelled falling onto my bed with my hand over my eyes in a swoon.

"Don't die Lilly! Don't die!" Bonnie yelled running over to my bed.

"Shes hasn't died yet Bonnie, she swooned." Char said, rolling her eyes.

Bonnie and Mia look at each other and burst out laughing. Char and I look at each other and shrug our shoulders and watch Bonnie roll on the ground and Mia leaning against the window for support.

When the finally calm down Mia said, "Swoon," as an explanation and lapsed back into laughing again.

I honestly don't know why I hang out with these people sometimes, maybe its because there entraining to watch, maybe because the give great advice in there own way, or maybe simply because I didn't have anyone else to talk to that fateful day. Your probable expecting a flash back, well our not going to get one because I was just bonked in the head with a sock. *Glare at Bonnie*

"I didn't mean to Lilly! Honest! I was aiming at my trunk!" (witch was five feet away), "I was just practicing my aim! Because you know how much I need the practice." Bonnie said as an explanation.

Merlin knows how that girl got onto the Quidditch team, but somehow you arm her with a beaters club and let her swing it at a rampaging Bludger she has perfect aim.

The rest of the night went as usual: Bonnie making multiple trips to the kitchens because she forgot something, Mia reading in her bed, and Char I talking about our summers, with the usual side comments from Mia and Bonnie as they caught something from our conversation, and when ever there was a break in the conversation Beatles music would be heard in the background form Bonnies record player. When asked how it would play (because it was a muggle object and, like must muggle electronics, shouldn't be able to play in Hogwarts) she would vaguely say something about somebody selling it to her while she was shopping in Diagon Alley one time a couple years ago.

Hey!!! You see that button below??!! Press it and review!!!!! Or I will hunt you down and chop off your nose, ok maybe I won't, but ill still be angry!!!
