A/N: Hi all! This is my first fanfic so forgive me if it is bad......
A (MODIFIED) MISTLETOE OVER HOGWARTS
Lily sat on the couch in the teacher's lounge at Hogwarts.
"Ow!" she yelled as a champagne cork hit her head.
"Sorry Lil!" a close to drunk Sirus laughed and continued to swirl his partner Srra
around the room.
Lily sighed. Being a professor at Hogwarts was much less fun than she had
imagined in her many years as a student there. *I wish I could quit!* Lily thought to
herself. But she knew she couldn't now. * All I am good at is charms, and they don't
have a opening in the Ministry for a Charms register.* And that is the only job outside of
Hogwarts that would pay for herself and her newborn sister, Harmony. Sirus was happy
here, but if only everybody could be as happy as Sirus.
Srra fell on the couch beside Lily, awakening her from her thoughts.
"It's New Years Eve! Why aren't you dancing?" asked Srra.
" Because no one would ask me anyway," Lily responded.
" I am sure that James would be happy to oblige," her friend said with a grin on
her face.
" Will you stop? Since we started teaching here you and Sirus have been doing
nothing except trying to get James and I together! He doesn't matter to me at all!" Not
James. Never again James.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the end of their 7th year, it had been known that James and Lily liked each
other. They had been friends since their third year when they had a detention on the same
night for throwing dung rockets (the earlier form of dungboms).at the Snapes. ( Lily had
thrown one at Severus Snape, and James had thrown one at his father, Professor
Soluminious Snape.) Lily then proceeded to become close friends with Peter, Remus and
Sirus.
James and Lily became closer, and closer friends, and by their sixth year they
liked each other. In their seventh year, Danube and Srra, lily's closest friends, told the
whole school on a dare from Sirus, that Lily and James liked each other. So James asked
Lily to the Witching Night Ball, but that was as far as they got.
They remained friends through out that year, and at Graduation they hugged and
cried. That night on the train they got in a fight. They were arguing over who would do
great things with their lives. James said that she would start out small in the Ministry of
Magic, but that she would work her way up to be The Minister herself. Lily had laughed
over it then, and thought nothing of it.
When she got off the train, it was late afternoon. Her parents weren't there yet,
but they were usually late. She waved good-bye to her friends and promised to write, and
visit. As Lily waited, it began to grow dark. She paced the length of the track while
glancing at her watch. The conductor, who had been working on the engine, got out and
offered to give Lily a ride. She accepted, and they went to his car.
When they got within one block of her house, she saw a column of smoke rising
from her block. Lily's stomach sank. When they arrived at her charred house, she rushed
out of the car and ran to her sister who was weeping in the front yard. Petunia was
clutching something tiny in a white blanket.
"Our parents are dead," Petunia said. "A man in black robes with a snake around
his neck came and killed them. Mother had just given birth to Harmony. He killed her
and father like it was nothing. Then he laughed at me, clutching the baby. He
disappeared." Petunia started crying again as a new flood of tears let loose.
"Can I hold her?" Lily asked. Petunia gave her the baby.
" Have her." Petunia said her voice full of pain. "I don't want the little brat."
"Is that because she reminds you of Mother?" Lily asked.
"Go away Lily." her sister said. " I am going to live with Vernon now. Good-
bye."
" But how am I supposed to take care of the baby? Where am I going to live?"
Lily yelled.
'Those freak friends of yours should help you out. What else are they good for?"
And Petunia walked away with Vernon Dursley. Lily sat in the grass, willing herself not
to cry, and then went to the conductor's car to get her trunk. After that she went to her
neighbor's house to make a phone call.

The next day Lily moved back to Hogwarts. Professor Dumbledor had promised
that Harmony could stay a secret, and invited her to become a teacher, but Lily was still
thinking it over. Then she got a wand call from James. Her wand rung, and then she cast
the audio/ visual spell. James' face appeared in front of her.
"Lily!" he said. "I have great news! When I went in for my interview at the
Ministry this morning, I got you an interview in the charms mailroom! It is for
tomorrow."
"I can't take a job like that James." Lily responded.
"Why not?" he asked. " The seven of us are destined for greater things! It doesn't
matter that it pays low, we have only ourselves to support, and we can make sacrifices."
*If only that were true* Lily thought. She said"No James, I can't. It isn't
possible."
"Of course it is! Anything is possible!" James said vigorously.
"No James, it's not." Lily said in tears. She canceled the spell, and sat down on
her bed and cried, hugging harmony to her chest.* It's not*
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Everything went downhill from there. James was so upset that he wasn't paying
attention puffing red belly hayewertoyts, and the room exploded. Sirus, Srra, and James
all got fired. No one else would hire them, so they got jobs teaching at hogwarts too.
Needless to say, James was very upset that Lily wasn't talking to him anymore, and
things were difficult between the new teachers at Hogwarts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Someone sitting down beside her awakened Lily from the past. "I don't want to
talk to you Potter."
"Fine Evans, I wasn't planning on talking to you anyway." James said.
"Then why did you sit down here?" Lily asked.
"This happens to be the only seat in the place open. Otherwise, you could be sure
I wouldn't take it." James retorted.
"Oh," Lily said and fell silent.
"All right people!" Dumbledor's voice rang out. "As midnight is fast
approaching, we will explain a new tradition. Above your heads you may see our special
New Years mistletoe." They looked above and saw a cross between a party hat and a little
green bush. " At midnight, grab a person of the opposite sex, and kiss them. If they are
outside of 20 years within your age range, it may be on the cheek. Get a partner now,
move along."
Lily and James looked away from each other quickly. "Ahhh, Mr. Potter and
Miss Evans. I do believe that you have not found partners yet." Sirus and Srra grinned.
"Well Miss Evans, you may be my partner, and Potter--why it seems we have a uneven
number of people!" Dumbledor exclaimed. Sirus' and Srra's faces fell as they partnered
off.
"Not any more you don't !" Said a forward woman with white hair, coming
through the door.
"Why Madaline Dumbledor! What are you doing here?" the ancient Professor
exclaimed. "Lily, maybe you should go with James."
"But Professor!" Lily and James both said. The professor just flicked his wand
and they were pushed together.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1," James looked at Lily, and saw that she wasn't trying to get the
charm off, even though she knew exactly what charm it was.
"Happy New Year!" And James leaned over and kissed Lily.
They broke apart to their friends catcalling and whistling. Lily blushed and turned
red. Dumbledor stood and said, "I would like to thank all of the teachers for
participating. Every time you walk into the same room as the person you have just kissed,
you will be forced to kiss them right there, under the modified mistletoe. Thank you." He
stepped down.
Lily was looking at James out of the corner of her eye, and realized that James
was doing the same thing. they smiled.
Then Callie Cartuval, Seth Soxbox, and Ross Renaldo, (all children of former
Professors during Lily and James' time at hogwarts,) threw dung bombs into the teacher's
lounge. Lily, James, and Sirus looked at each other and yelled after them, "You little
copycats!!!" And they all rushed out of the Lounge laughing.
disclaimer: I don't own any of her characters, I own all of my characters all right?
A/N: Did you like it? If you did I will write a sequel about what happened on New Year's
Day. OK? Review please and I know a lot of the stuff doesn't go along with the books,
But that is what fanfiction is for, right?
