Chapter 1: Her thoughts
Lily Evans sat looking out the window of the Hogwarts express. She clearly wanted to be alone. Her best friends, Elizabeth Hently and Katherine Fennia could see that and left her to her thoughts.
As she sat staring out at the passing countryside, her thoughts basically consisted of one pers- wait. She didn't want to think about him. Instead, she forced herself to think of…something. Anything but him. Hmm… what could she think of… the day she found out that she was a witch. There. That would have to do.

"Lily, you have a letter, dear." Violet Evans, Lily's mother said over breakfast one morning during summer vacation.
"Who would be writing to you?" Asked Petunia Evans, Lily's, well, evil older sister.
"Shove off Petunia. Thanks Mom." Lily replied.
The red headed girl with the brilliant green eyes opened her letter, read it, spilled her hot chocolate on her pyjamas and then reread her letter, all in a matter of 30 seconds.
"Lily darling, what's wrong? You've gone all pale and you look extremely ill. What's wrong? You look terrible!" her mother exclaimed.
"She looks normal to me…" Petunia giggled.
"Petunia, go put your head in the toilet or something. And…um…Mom…is there something you haven't told me about?" Lily said.
"Like a long lost sister of mine to replace this crappy one?" Petunia asked hopefully.
"Petunia Ann Evans, you be nice to your little sister!" Violet said. "Now Lily, what do you mean?"
"Well, no one in our family happens to be…er…well…magical, do they?"
"Magic doesn't exist you idiot! Goodness, 11 years old and she still believes in fairy tales. You know Mom, maybe we should send her to-"
"Petunia…" their mother warned. " Lily, what are you talking about? Magical? Why would you ask a question like that?"
"Well this letter says that I'm uh, a, um, witch." Lily stammered.
"Only one letter off…" petunia muttered.
"Petunia, SHUT UP! Look mom, read the letter!"
Violet read the letter, spilled her coffee, and then reread it. "Oh Lily, this is wonderful! Oh, wait until your father gets home! He'll be so proud! I'm so proud!" And with that, she swept Lily up into a hug and started telling her how proud she was.
Lily looked genuinely happy.
Petunia was genuinely pissed off. "Oh please, what a pathetic freak," she muttered.
End Flashback
Well now that that memory was over (for some reason she could still hear Petunia's last comment ringing in her ears), what could she think of? Last year…? No. Thinking of last year made her think about him. She wouldn't think about him.
Hmm…What was bloody petunia's new boyfriend called? Something stupid and annoying. What was it? Asshole? No, it's not that. Fat guy with no neck? No, it's not that either… I'm an asshole, have no neck and for some ungodly reason I fell in love with Petunia Evans? Yeah, it's something like that, she thought to herself. Or is it Vernon?
A new train of thought came to the 15 year old. What to buy Elizabeth for her birthday. There was that new book on how to perfect your Bat Bogey Hex, but maybe not. What else can I get her? There was that perfume that James gave me last year, she liked that…No! Not him!
But she couldn't not think about him. James bloody Potter. The bane of her existence. Well, okay, maybe not, seeing as they had been friends…
Begin Flashback
Lily felt very alone. All alone in a small compartment in a train going to some godforsaken school in the middle of nowhere, so, as Petunia put it, she could learn some stupid magic tricks. It was her first train ride to Hogwarts, where she would learn witchcraft (which she hadn't believed in until a month ago) and where she would have no friends. She was all alone.
Okay, she wasn't really alone, but she felt like it. There was a girl in the compartment with her. But Lily suspected that she crazy, seeing as the girl kept laughing like a hyena to herself. Maybe it was her way of calming her nerves. Or maybe-
Oh god, Lily thought to herself. Maybe I have something on my face…
But anyway, even with the crazy girl (who had said her name was Katherine); the 11 year old red head had never felt lonelier in her life.
There was a knock at the door. The crazy girl opened it and a boy with very messy black hair and hazel eyes came into the compartment. He was followed by a boy with tidy dark hair that fell onto his eyes in such a way that the other boy would never have been able to fix his hair like that. The messy haired boy looked around and said:
"Hi, I'm James, and this is Sirius. Do you think we could sit here? Everywhere else is full."
"Sure, I'm Lily and this is…uh…Katherine, right?" Lily replied.
Katherine nodded as both boys sat down.
A few hours later, the four of them, plus a girl named Elizabeth and a boy named Remus (who had both come in 10 minutes after James and Sirius) were playing a game of Exploding Snap and laughing hysterically.
The boys were already good friends, and in the first hour of the train ride had dreamt up 48 pranks they could pull once they got to Hogwarts.
The girls had chatted, gossiped, and giggled for the first 2 hours of the ride. They already knew everything about each other.
The boys got along really well with the girls as well. James and Lily had become good friends after he taught her how to play wizard chess. She had beaten him 3 times out of 5, and they had laughed for hours.

But not anymore, Lily thought. We will never be friends again. I can't believe he did that to me! We were friends, but then last year happened.

Lily was-

"LILY! Listen to us! Where were you? We've called you 4 times already!" Elizabeth exclaimed.
"Oh, sorry. I was just thinking." Lily replied.
"About…?" Katherine asked.
"Nothing. What do you guys want, anyway?" Lily said.
"The witch with the food cart is here; you want anything?"
"Oh, I'll just have a pumpkin pasty, thanks." Lily said to the witch.
She paid for her pasty, took a bit out of it, and went back to her thoughts.
Elizabeth and Katherine just rolled their eyes.
