A/N: Summer has started, so I thought that I would start a new story, so here it is. This chapter is kind of a character summery, and what happened from the fifth book until now. Let me clarify a few things. Kelsey and Matt are NOT cousins, I don't know how you got that. I DONT THINK A SIZE FIVE IS FAT AT ALL! I'm just trying to give you a fell for what Lily thinks.
The summer after the fifth book, Harry goes to the Weasley's house. Ron gets in trouble, so Harry is hanging out with Ginny. They are playing Quiditch, and then they put the stuff away. Harry kisses Ginny, and the rest is history. Ginny and Harry get together, and Harry proposes to Ginny on her Graduation day. They don't end up getting married until September of the next year, because they defeat Voldemort together. Their first child, James Harold Potter, was born the following year. Two years after that, Lily and Sirius, twins, were born. Two years after that, Remus was born and another year later, Molly was born. Currently, James is in Seventh, Lily and Sirius are in Fifth, Remus is in third and Molly is Second.
Hermione and Draco get together at graduation. They some how ended up together in a very small area: under the table they both happened to be eating at. Draco had chosen not to become a death eater, and to become a healer. They ended up kissing, and everyone, wondering where the two had gone, looked under and saw. Lucius disowned Draco, but Draco didn't care. Hermione and Draco married a year later, and had twins, Matthew and David a few years after. Then, five years later, Samantha came along. Matthew and David are in sixth and Sam is in first.
Ron married Parvati Patil three years after graduation. They had been going out since seventh year, but it took Ron a long time to pop the question. Finally he did, and they got married. The have three children: Jessica, who is in first year, Anthony, who is nine, and Jacob, who is six. Parvati is pregnant with another baby.
The rest of Ron's brothers married, except for Fred and George. Fred has been going steady with Angelina Johnson for quite sometime, but there is no talk of marriage. There is a total of ten cousins among Percy, who married Penelope, Bill, who married Fleur, and Charlie, who married a girl named Ashlee. Percy has two children: Elizabeth, fourteen, in fourth year and Daniel, eleven, in first year. Bill has four children: Nicole, in seventh, Gabe, in fifth, Anne, in second, and John, ten. Charlie also has four children: Justin and Kelsey, fifth year twins, Sandy, in fourth, and Sara-Jane, in third.
Okay, this story takes place from Lily Potter's point of view.
Why, why, why? WHY does my stupid, blonde, retarded, size one, perfect cousin have to go to Hogwarts? Wouldn't it have been easier to home school her. I cannot stand Kelsey. I have been forced to share a dorm with her since the first year, and I hate it. Okay, okay, the first three years were okay. The, over the summer after third year, she hit puberty and I didn't. She decided I wasn't good enough, because I am short, breast less, not blonde, and size five rather then one. She thinks if your not super thin, you aren't worth talking to. Her best friend is super thin like her, but that is because they hardly ever eat.
Anyway, this summer, I grew a bit. I am the smallest B-cup ever, and I am Five-four. I am still a size five though. I have red hair with gold and brown streaks. My eyes are bright green. I was the only kid out of my family to get the green eyes. Everyone else just got brown. That makes me lucky, I guess. Anyway, today is September first, and Kelsey has just announced that the closet will be all hers. We start classes tomorrow, and I am glad. There are four girls in our dormitory. Me and Kelsey, my best friend Tess and Kelsey's best friend Marissa. I hate Marissa even more then I hate Kelsey, because she has a crush on the same person I do.
That nigh at Dinner, I stared dreamily at David Malfoy. He is so cute. He and Matt are identical, but they wear their hair different and they now look nothing alike. David is the cutest guy I know. I, at the pitiful age of fifteen, have never had a boyfriend. Kelsey has been laid by three different people. So she puts out and I don't. That doesn't mean I can't have a boyfriend. Boys never seem to like me. They changed our dress code, so we can wear whatever we want under our robes. I tend to wear a lot of black and red, so people I guess associate me with the Devil, so they are scared of me. Tess has black hair, but she dresses with more color. She has a boyfriend: Gabe. They are totally in love and I am totally jealous.
I wondered what it would be like in David's arms… Then I snapped to attention when David called, "Hey, you want to be the singer in Sirius's band?" I sighed. That's what David thinks of me as; his best friend's kid sister. "Sure…" I said vaguely. Sirius was forming a band. He was the lead guitarist, Gabe was on keyboard, David was drums, and I guess I was singer. I am a pretty good singer, but I don't like singing in front of people, but if it meant spending more time with David… Finally, I dragged myself from the table and walked up to my dorm. Kelsey was there with whatever boyfriend she had now, and they were snogging each other senseless on her bed. I rolled my eyes and locked myself in the bathroom.
I stood and looked at my reflection. Well, my face anyway. I hated my hair. I hated red hair at that moment. I wanted black hair like Tess. Even plain brown hair would be good. But not red. Finally, after looking at my hair for several minutes, I took out my wand and charmed my hair black. I looked at it. I liked it. Now I added a scarlet streak in the front. My hair is long, it reaches my butt. I didn't like it that long, so I cut it so it was just past my shoulders. Then I tapered it.
Wow, I thought, looking at myself.
I spun, and my hair flipped out. It hadn't done that in ages. And I hadn't done anything this dramatic to myself in long time, not since I cut my hair to my chin when I was nine. I decided to go to bed before Kelsey stopped snogging and Tess and Marissa came up.
The next morning I groaned when I heard Tess yelling at me to get up. I hate getting up; I love to sleep. I dragged myself out of bed. Tess saw my new haircut and hair color. "What did you do?" she exclaimed, seeing my hair. I must have looked crestfallen, because she smiled and said, "I love it!"
I smiled and got dressed. Today I decided on my short black skirt, black tights, and my red t-shirt. Also, my combat boots. I brushed my hair and left it down instead of putting it back. Everyone who mattered had an opinion:
James: Cute. I'll have to beat up any boy who likes you now… (I hit him) Just joking, gosh. Don't get so mad.
Sirius: You look just like dad! (I have my mum's hair, but otherwise I take after my dad)
Remus: You look different. I liked your old hair better. This isn't you.
Molly: I'm going to tell mummy and she isn't going to be happy! You'll get a howler soon (Molly is a little tattle-tale who's only friend is our cousin Anne.)
Kelsey: I see you want to be popular. As if.
Matt: Who's the boy you're trying to impress? (I blush)
I saved the best for last: David: I like it a lot. You look great Lily.
Can you believe it? David, adorable David said that he liked my hair. I swear, it's first period Muggle studies class and I am still floating. I am so happy he said he liked it. I have gotten a lot of compliments, and a small handful of negative remarks, made of course by Kelsey's friends. There was one from Marissa, she said it made me look like a bat, but I know that she is jealous because her hair is horrible. Still, the best compliment I received all day was from David. At dinner that night, Tess and me looked at our homework. It wasn't too bad surprisingly. We have two classes a day, but each one only once a week, so the homework was is due the following class. My classes are as follows: Monday: Transfiguration, Potions Tuesday: Muggle Studies, Astronomy
Wednesday: History of Magic, Care of Magical Creatures Thursday: Charms, Arithmacy Friday: Defense against the Dark Arts, Herbology.
I am on the Quiditch team. I'm seeker, just like my dad was. James is captain, he is the keeper, and David is on the team, he is a beater. The rest of the team are just Gryffindor with no relation to the Potter/Weasley/Malfoy clan.
Anyway, back to dinner. I heard David and Matt having a fight, so I turned to look. Matt is girl-crazy, just so you know. They were fighting because I guess David wouldn't let Matt be the singer for their band. "I wanna be the singer!" Matt said, whining like a little child. "No! Your head is always in the clouds thinking about whatever girlfriend you currently have. Besides, you suck." David said back. "No I don't! And besides, it isn't like that bitch Lily is any better." Now all my brothers were looking at Matt and David, seeing what he would say, if he would defend me. What David said next was surprising. "Lily is not a bitch, she is an excellent singer. You are the opposite. Now please go somewhere else, you disgust me at this moment." David said slowly, and Matt stormed off to sit with his girlfriend. Which is Kelsey. I wrinkled my nose as they started snogging. I lost my appetite and stormed upstairs to my dorm.
Once I was up there, I decided to short-sheet Kelsey's bed. I was just finishing when Tess came in. "You know, David was worried about you. He was worried that what Matt said hurt your feeling. I told him you left because you saw Matt and Kelsey snogging, but he didn't believe me."
I smiled. That was so like David, to be worried. He worries about everyone. But still, a tiny bit of me hoped he was really worried about me because he liked me, not just because. But I might as well keep dreaming. David would no sooner like me then like Molly. I know he just thinks of me as his best friend's sister, and I hate that, and there is nothing I can do to change that.
The next morning, Molly was right. I did get a howler. I'm sure that the whole school heard to. LILY BRIANNA POTTER! HOW DARE YOU DYE YOUR HAIR BLACK AND CUT IT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION! ARE YOU NOT PROUD OF THE RED HAIR THAT CAME FROM ME? YOU CHARM IT RIGHT BACK TO RED THIS INSTANT, OR I WILL COME TO SCHOOL AND DO IT FOR YOU! Then it exploded. I looked at Molly, who was looking scared. Wait till later, I mouthed at her, and she stuck out her tongue. I rolled my eyes and went to the bathroom and died my hair back to red. My mom didn't say what color red, so I dyed it to the darkest red that it would go. My hair now looked even better. The bell rang now, so I had to go to class. Nobody said anything about my hair this time, and I was kind of glad. Tess grinned at me as I came into history of Magic. In her hand was a note from David for me.
