Just Like Her

Disclaimer: I make whatever isn't J.K. Rowling's, though they might come from different people that I know.
A/N: I really like this story. I don't know how good it is, but I've tried to write like my fanfic authors. So, I hope you like it.
Now, let's start the story! Chapter 1(In which the characters are introduced and the story just begun)
Lily Evans was a wonderful girl. She was warm, kindhearted, intelligent, and a wonderful friend. Her friends adored her. She was not popular, but was not a social outcast. She had soft red straight hair that went to her waist and affectionate emerald green eyes. Her greatest friends were Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Naina Randall. And she was going out with a certain boy who was just about all of her life, James Potter.
As most people like to know what the character in their stories look like, I will tell you. Let's begin with Sirius Black. Sirius Black had straight, longish black hair and intense ice blue eyes. Remus Lupin had the hair color of dark auburn. His eyes were a deep grayish-purple. Naina Randall was surrounded by thick, curly black hair till her waist and a vast hazel-blue eye color. James Potter had messy black hair, always slightly gelled, which matched adorably with his deep strangely blue-black eyes speckled with odd, but attractive toffee tints.
Her friends were all incredibly popular, so it was a bit unexpected that Lily wasn't. Lily Evans attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was presently the age of fifteen years old. She and all her friends were in the house of Gryffindor and were accepted without a word by the other members of the house. All her friends ruled the house of Gryffindor. Lily had lived in extremely high society before her parents had died. She would be given her inheritance when she turned 18, but she was already very rich, as were her friends, though no one could ever refer to her as stuck up, snotty, or haughty. She was an extremely down-to-earth person and she never swore or used any obscene language or signs. She never ever got angry and she was always smiling and righteous. Besides that, she was an extremely sensitive and quite an innocent and bit of a naive girl. An angel on earth.
At the present time, she was in the middle of her fifth year. Lily was a very high-quality student in all subjects because she appreciated making her teachers proud of her, but she excelled in Charms. Her weakest subject, Transfiguration, which was not that week at all, was her boyfriend's strongest subject. Right now, they were attending that class, taught by Professor Mc Gonnagal.
" Now, today, class, I desire complete cooperation. Team up with whomever you wish now and please practice transfiguring your notebooks into rabbits and vice versa." As the former part was fairly easy to do, and the following part not so easy, the area was quickly full of hopping bunny rabbits. Lily had teamed up with Naina, Sirius had teamed up with Remus, and so James had partnered with Peter Pettigrew, the fourth boy in the Marauders, which was a gang that James, Sirius, and Remus had invented way back in primary school days. The marauders were just causing more havoc by transfiguring other things into rabbits too, and putting spells on rabbits to stay the way they were. Naina was giggling because of all the rabbits hopping about. And Lily was smiling, though she disapproved of such obvious rule breaking.
Professor Mc Gonnagal shouted, " Enough! Black! Lupin! Potter! Pettigrew! Reverse those spells immediately! And detention tomorrow night!"
The marauders were happy to put another detention to their list. They were trying to break the record. Soon, everything was back to normal.

The hall was overflowing with chatter and hilarity and mirth as the school assembled for dinner. Lily sat with her friends at the Gryffindor table and devoured the delicious food. All six were quite starving. Afterwards, Professor Dumbledore stood up and clapped his hands. The racket and clamor in the hall expired very speedily. Professor smiled.
" Thank you. Now, I have an announcement to make. We have never done such a thing as I am about to say, before, but I think you are quite mature by now and will be able to handle it. Ladies and gentlemen, we have decided that this year, the fifth, sixth, and seventh years of Hogwarts will be allowed to attend the annual ball honoring the French and English Ministry of Magic, held in France this year." Immediately, there was an immense amount of whispering. Lily and Naina looked at each other in genuine shock. This was quite an honor.
" I realize that the first through fourth years feel a little left out, so during those three weeks, when they all go to the ball, there will be a party on one day each week in which all the younger children may join in. But for you 5th through 7th years, you must also complete a few tasks to see if you are fit to go. First of all, your parents must give you permission." At this, there were a humongous amount of groans. " Next, you must be involved in an extra-curricular activity such as cheerleading or Quidditch. Thirdly, you must be free during Halloween because that is when it is being held, and finally, your academic scores must be above average. I know these are a lot of requirements, but it has been asked by Dendrite Lupin, the minister himself." Dendrite Lupin, by the way, was Remus's second uncle.
Lily looked at James and smiled. She was sure they would both be able to go, because they had very good grades and their parents wouldn't mind just once and they both were in extra curricular activities. James was a seeker on the Quidditch team, and Lily was on the Board of Student/Teacher Cooperation. She did not enjoy Quidditch very much.
" You may send your owls tomorrow. We will give you magical slips, so you will not be able to forge anything. Now you may go to your common rooms. Thank you for listening." With that, Professor Dumbledore sat down.
Lily and her friends went. Lily was discussing the whole thing with Sirius and Remus. " It'll be just wonderful if all of us are allowed to go." She said.
" Sure! And the more girls the merrier!" exclaimed Sirius.
Naina exclaimed, " Siri! You are so shallow!"
" He knows. And he's glad you noticed too," said Remus with a laugh.
Lily slipped her hand through James's like she did a lot. " You're coming aren't you James?"
James looked at Lily. He smiled. " Of course Dryad." It was a special name that he had for her.
Lily smiled too and said, "You're wonderful." And slipped away.
Sirius saw the whole thing, "I don't know what she sees in you." He joked. James grinned.
"I don't know either, but she thinks I'm wonderful."
Sirius grinned too. "Of course, she would say such a thing. Just like her."
The next morning, everyone went and owled their parents. At least, the people who qualified did. And after all the qualifications they needed, only about 50 remained. The marauders, and Lily, and Naina were among those that could still go.
When the replies from the parents came back, the six, minus Peter, could still go.
The following day, Dumbledore announced," I have the final count of people who are going. There are 35. Five from Slytherin, Eight from Hufflepuff, ten from Ravenclaw, and twelve from Gryffindor. That includes our head girl and head boy, Melissa Lawton, and Jerry Levin. Oh, and the whole Gryffindor Quidditch team is going; the captain is Melissa Lawton, who is a chaser. The other chasers are Munguldus Fletcher, and Aleesha Bronson. The beaters are Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. The seeker is James Potter, the keeper is Joanie Monterey, and the commentator is Naina Randall. Congrats."
Everyone clapped, even though most of the people were not very happy. But Lily and her friends didn't care. There were only two more weeks before it would be time to go. They had to pack! Paris, France, here they come!
