A/N: Well…this is chapter one. I hope it goes over well. I really like how this is turning out so far. Um, if you want to beta me, just add that into your review. Kay, thanks.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter. I do not own 'Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying' by Fall Out Boy. That is the little bit Lily is singing in the opening here.

::Chapter One::

Evangeline

Lily Evangeline Evans sighed. At fifteen, she was a gorgeous girl with auburn hair that reached just past her shoulders and round emerald eyes. She was barely 5'4", and quite petite. She had been living with her sister, Petunia, since she was nine. Six years was a long time to live with someone who hated you.

"Eva!" a voice called distantly.

Lily looked around the crowded platform and spotted a head of messy black hair. She smiled. James Potter, her best friend, stood ten feet away. His glasses were haphazardly perched on his nose, and his hazel eyes were dancing merrily.

"Evangeline, are you ready to go?" Sirius Black asked from behind her.

Lily had been going as Evangeline for five years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. No one knew that this wasn't her true first name. And that was the way Lily wanted it. She had begun a new life. A fresh start had been her goal, and she felt herself quite successful.

"From day one I talked about getting out,
But not forgetting about
How my worst fears were letting out.
He said, 'why put a new address
On the same old loneliness?
When breathing just passes the time
Until we all just get old and die,
And talking's just a waste of breath,
And living's just a waste of death.
And why put a new address
On the same old loneliness?
When this is me and you,
And you and me,
Until we've got nothing left.'"

Lily turned her music off to speak with James after reciting this bit from one of her favourite songs. She honestly hadn't heard Sirius, and he knew it. James was grinning lopsidedly at her. He was familiar with the song.

"I know this hurts," He began.

"It was meant to." Lily finished with a smile. "Hey, Jamie." She hugged him.

"Hey, Eva." James smiled wider. "It's been too long. A whole two days."

"Definitely." Lily agreed. "Help me with my trunk, will you?"

"Anything for my dear Queen Evangeline." James bowed comically.

"Loser," Lily giggled.

"Ah, but you love me anyway." James winked.

"You caught me." Lily pretended to be embarrassed.

Sirius had been watching this exchange, highly amused. To him, James and Evangeline were the perfect couple, even if they couldn't see it. And yet…Evangeline always seemed to be hiding something. Something…painful.

"Evangeline, are you ready?" Sirius repeated.

"Yeah. James just needs to bring my trunk onto the train." Evangeline replied, finally turning to the tall young man with graceful ebony hair and piercing grey eyes standing behind her.

"Well, snap to it, Prongs. Her Majesty is ready." Sirius mocked their previous conversation.

Evangeline (A/N: I'm just going to call her Evangeline now) smiled. Sirius and James were the only ones she ever let call her Queen, or Princess, because Princess had been her father's name for her. For some reason, it was comforting to have the guys call her that.

"Come along then, boys." Evangeline snapped her fingers and strode onto the train.

Sirius and James looked at each other and rolled their eyes. Each picked up an end of Evangeline's trunk and followed her.

"'Vangeline!" Claire Dupris shrieked. "How was your summer with Sirius and James?"

"It wasn't bad. I spent the first month with Petunia and the Whale, though." Evangeline wrinkled her nose.

"God. I don't know how you put up with them." Gabrielle Finch hugged her friend briefly.

"Well, they never take it well when I request that Petunia only get pregnant and have the baby within the ten months that I'm here so that I don't have to put up with the mood swings." Lily laughed.

"That's because they're afraid of you, my dear." Sirius said, striding into the compartment. "Well, not really tiny little you, but maybe your extraordinary magical powers."

"Padfoot, mate, you've got yourself in a trifle of a predicament." James commented, entering and sitting next to Evangeline. "Glenda Albright, from Hufflepuff is bit rounded. She blames you."

"She blames me for her getting fat?" Sirius looked outraged.

"No, you git. She's pregnant and says that you're the father." Claire rolled her eyes.

"What? I went out with her ONCE last November! It can't be mine!" Sirius spluttered.

"We know, mate." James said in a soothing tone.

"Besides, we all know that Albright is a slut." Gabrielle said easily, taking out a deck of cards. "Exploding Snap, anyone?"

The group played several lively rounds of Exploding Snap, and halfway through the second, they were joined by Remus Lupin.

Remus was the last member of their group, with sandy hair and tired hazel eyes. He was the male Gryffindor prefect, part of the reason for his tiredness. The other part was due to the fact that the full moon had been three days ago. You see; Remus Lupin was a werewolf. So, it took him two weeks to recover, and then felt ill the week before a full moon. Life hadn't been fair to Remus, but he took it in stride.

"We'd best get changed. Hogsmeade in twenty minutes." Evangeline sighed, getting up and leaving the compartment with her uniform.

Once she reached the bathroom, she changed and looked in the mirror. She poked disgustedly at her belly, not liking how her finger sunk into the flesh. She got on her knees before the toilet, and with a well-practiced ease, forced two fingers down her throat.

A/N: READ AND REVIEW. Let me know how I'm doing. This is only my second fic. And remember, if you want to beta me; send me some sort of a qualification, such as a link to one of your stories. Sorry, it's nothing personal; I'm just picky.
