Chapter 1- Not Again…

Lily, once again, was woken up to Petunia shrieking her head off. 'Bloody hell, what now?' For majority of the summer Lily was woken up by her obnoxious shrieks. 'Well, I better go see what it is before she wakes up mom.' Blundering down the stairs, Lily saw what made her sister screech at this ungodly hour. "Lucky, come here girl." Lily whispered as she reached the kitchen. Lucky, her owl, was currently sitting atop the fridge glowering at Petunia, who was trying to hit the innocent bird with her frying pan. When Petunia heard Lily call the menace, she turned," Keep your freaky bird away from me! Why can't you be normal? Why did you have to ruin our lives?" Petunia spat at her and stormed upstairs.

Although she always acted calm and impartial when Petunia got into one of her moods, it was just that an act. She grabbed Lucky and headed back into her room, determined not to start crying. 'Wait start crying, I am Lily Evans, I do not cry just because my sister hates me, I don't cry. Sure Petunia makes my life hell at home, and Potter takes over for her at school, but I do NOT cry! Oh who am I kidding yeah I do…'

She shut her door as the silent tears started to fall. And not for the first time she thought about how different her life would be if she never got that letter when she turned eleven. But what is done is done, as her father would say, look towards the future because it's the only thing you can change. She fell onto her bed and started thinking about her father, Mike Evans. He had been deployed two weeks ago; he was a naval commander for the Royal Navy. She would be leaving for school in two days, two very long days. She sighed and pulled the covers over her head hoping to get a little more sleep before having to face Petunia again.

~ Two Days Later~

As odd as it may sound I love the sound of the trains blowing their whistles, it reminded me that I was going back to a place where I actually had friends and didn't have to worry about waking up to Petunia trying to kill her owl with a frying pan. 'Its good to be back,' I thought, as I nonchalantly walked through the wall onto platform 9 ¾. The beauty of the scarlet train never ceased to amaze me. I started through the crowd towards the train trying to find my friends, when I say a glimpse of blonde curls. I immediately made a beeline for them. A smiled crept onto my face as I poked Alice in the back causing her to jump.

"Lily! Its good to see you again!" She yelled as she pulled me into a hug.

"Have you seen Marissa or Jackie yet?" I shouted back. The four of us were all best friends and all Gryffindor fifth years.

"No, I haven't." Alice said as she scanned the crowd for them.

"AAHHHHH!"

Someone had just touched my stomach. I hate it when people do that. My hands automatically going to cover my stomach, it was one of my weird things; nobody was ever permitted to touch my stomach. I turned around a glare already on my face as I looked at the culprit.

"Haha, that never gets old does it?"

"Yes, it does actually. You know that-" But I was cut off as a laughing Jackie pulled me in for a hug. At five foot ten Jackie was the ideal Quidditch chaser, she was slender but strong with long wavy brown hair and huge dark eyes, which give her a haunted look.

"Lily, its time to accept that she will never stop doing that." Marissa said from behind me. Marissa was the picture of beauty; she was five foot three and had pin straight brown hair, with bright baby blue eyes. All three of them tried to stifle their laughter as Lily stalked away and boarded the train without them. They followed in her wake though shaking their heads at their odd friend. They had no idea why she was so peculiar about people touching or talking about her stomach.

A/N- All right this was kind of a rough chapter. As you can tell I'm not a writer, but I got an urge to write and I can never judge myself right so let me know if this is extremely pathetic or if I'm not that bad. And if anyone wants to edit for me that would be great because I can edit other people but I can't do my own so if your interested please let me know. Oh yeah and review!
