Chapter 1
The flash of red and gold zoomed past the rising stands of the quidditch field.
"…annnnnd Pottttttterrrrrrrr!" The commentator screamed followed by the loud, boisterous cheers of the crowd.
Slytherin vs. Gryffindor. 'Why is at always Gryffindor vs. Slytherin,' Lily wondered. Before lily could give it a second thought the loud noise of the whistle sounded, trailed by the flashes of colour on the quidditch field. Lily sighed. She had taken much more of an interest in Quidditch since…since…..she didn't want to admit it. 'SINCE YOU HAD STARTED FANCYING THE PANTS OFF A CERTAIN GRYFFINDOR QUIDDITCH CAPTAIN!' There she had said it. Or rather…. thought it. She sighed internally. SHE, the girl who had sworn she would never ever, had found that she had in fact, fallen for Ja-
'NO!', don't say his name! 'HIS NAME IS POTTER. POTTER. POTTER. POTTER… Okay, Lily, you can do this, stay strong. Nobody can know! You cannot be involved in any way to JAMES POTTER! But he is so cute! His chocolate, brown eyes, his soft messy, perfect, amazing hair….. 'STOP! Who are you?' Your conscience of course! Just admit it! You are head over heels in love with James Potter! You lov-
"I DO NOT!" lily screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Uhhh, Lils are you okay?" Lily's short but yet very lean best friend of many years, Alice Prewett stated.
"What?... Oh. OHHH!" Lily said the latter with a bit more understanding.
"Oh, what?" Alice questioned. Alice was very pretty, smart and eye-catching. She was by far one the prettiest girl at Hogwarts (or so Lily had always told her). Her chestnut, brown hair, and her dark, alluring, ocean deep eyes. Alice was perfect in Lily's eyes…except for her annoying habit of being very curious. Curious. That defined Alice's entire personality in one word. Of course, when Lily had told her this, she had upright refused and denied her. Oh well.
"N…nothing." Lily stuttered trying to cover the fact that she was blushing a deep crimson red after her previous conversation with her conscience.
"Okay….fine, I will leave you alone." Lily visibly relaxed but it didn't last for long as Alice added, "but swear upon your grave Lily, I WILL FIND OUT!"
Lily tried to ignore that past comment and instead focused on the Quidditch match. It was their final year at Hogwarts – their seventh, and Lily decided that she should enjoy school more, hence becoming more interested in the Quidditch matches. Yes, that was the reason why she was more interested in Quidditch matches now. Yes. That was what Lily kept telling herself, but deep down she knew it wasn't the reason.
