Just so you know I do not own James, Lily, Peter, Remus, Sirius or any other names listed in the book but do own Dylan, Kate and Andrew for they are not listed in the book because they are the names of my old School mates.

Reflections


Dear Mum, Dad and Tuney,

So sorry I haven't written very much but I'll make up for it now. I know that I'll get the 411 when you see me but please understand why I did these things.

1st of October 1971

I was walking to my Transfiguration class, talking to my friends, well more like arguing, Kate Dyer, she's got bright Sky blue eyes, light milky brown hair and silky smooth porcelain skin with very few freckles, Andrew, a small mousy boy who had semi-curly brown hair, and pale creamy skin. We were the muggle-born's of Gryffindore so we stay together a protected each other from most Slytherin's, but Severus only seemed to call Kate and Andrew the dreaded word that is frowned upon by all of the teachers and most of the student body.

'Lily, I can't understand why you hang around with him he's just as bad as the rest of the Slytherins' argued Kate she had been going on about Severus ever since the first time he walk me to DADA.

'Oh give it a rest Kay nothing is going to change my mind! So can we please talk about something else, please' I pleaded

'No, Lily, you need to see the point of these they aren't very nice people, today it's verbal in a few years it's going to be much worse, lord knows what their going to do with their lives the only thing we can be curtain of is that is will not be good. Lily you know that our world has a threat growing and nothing will stand in you-know-who's way and you know that we have to stick to our own kind, with the people like us' replied Andrew

'Andy how long have you have you felt this way? You were the one who said it didn't matter what house your in as long as you kind, Severus is kind, you just don't see it' I was really pis-unhappy with them at that point but I did see the point they had it wasn't fair that I Severus was treating me differently to everyone else.

'Hey guys, I understand where your coming from but I still don't think Severus could do any of the things you say he could, can we just not talk about this' I compromised, Kate and Andrew were looking at me funny but they sort of looked surprised.

'Fine, but Lily, you will see over time I know you will' Kate finally said.

As you can see I've got some persistent friends, they really are the best. They made it easier to stay away from home. But despise the many good points of my year at Hogwarts there were the fair share of dare I say fights.

14th of January 1971

'What's your problem?'

'I have no problem, Snivellus is just a waste of time and space' I was infuriated with him. He had no rite to be that jerkish.

'What makes you think that you can be to most selfish, arrogant, conceited, pig-headed, overconfident, egotistical, condescending, jerk I've ever had the displeasure to meet, and I know a lot of jerks!' I shrieked I felt as if my throat was being torn out.

'Whoa, Evans calm down I wasn't going to hurt him! Just scare him'

'You just don't get it to you Potter? Know one has the right to rule over others blood shouldn't matter! Who they are, personality matters Potter, you should get some sense in your life' by this time tears had started to burn in the back of my eyes if I ever let them fall-lets not think about it.

'James, go just go Lily needs to go to the hospital wing. Do you see how distressed she's getting lay off.' Yelled Kate running to Lily's aid

'But she never had to get into this, and why and you defending her anyway you're my cousin, you should side with me!' yelled James

'You don't get it, James! Just drop it you'll never win when you pick fights with every one. She's my friend and I'm going to look out for her just like you would with Sirius or Remus or Peter you would do anything for your mates, well so would I! Lily come on you need a calming draft, let go' settled Kate as she helped me up to the hospital wing to see madam Brooks.

This year had many of those moments but I think I came to a truce with Potter he stops picking on people and I leave him alone no matter how many pranks those 'marauders' do.

Believe it or not I've learnt a lot, I got and average of –o which was the second best in our year. I see you at kings cross in two weeks.

I miss you all so much

Love

Lily Rosalie Evans
