Chapter Two

The train stopped "Please leave your luggage on the train." She stood up and walked off the train and a big man who looked like a giant yelled "Four ter a boat" and she looked around for an empty boat and spotted none but before she could say anything the giant yelled "Forward!" and the boats took off. Sighing now completely convinced that she was invisible to the world.

She looked towards the castle and sighed, she wouldn't get there for a while. She sighed again and started walking on the trail towards the school. An hour passed and it was now pitch black outside but she kept walking, she was too afraid to stop so she kept walking. It was another two hours before she got to the gates of hogwarts only to find them locked. She sat down and rested against the gate and fell asleep from exhaustion.

When Lily awoke it was daylight and her muscles were all cramped up. She looked through the gate and saw an adult walking outside and she quickly stood up and stretched, the cupped her hands to her mouth and screamed "Hello!!!"

The teacher turned to her and started walking to her and unlocked the gate and opened it " Where have you been Lily Evans?"

"Right here all night"

" Why didn't you cross the lake like all the other first years?"

"There wasn't enough room and they left before I could say something." She nodded " And how did you know my name?"

"Lily the whole school knows your name, when you didn't show up at all last night the grounds were searched by all the teachers." 'Just great' thought Lily.

"My name is professor McGonnagal and we need to get you sorted." Lily nodded and followed professor McGonnagal. She led Lily to something that looked similar to a cafeteria. On a wooden stool was a ragged hat that looked ready to fall apart. "Well go put the hat on miss Evans." Professor McGonnagal urged. She looked around and noticed all the kids were watching her and she turned a dark crimson and walked over the old hat, sat down and put the hat on her head.

'Oh and interesting mind, Ravenclaw? No you don't seem to love to work only do it because you feel like a social outcast but don't worry, a year here and that will be fixed right up. Slytherin doesn't work because of your family history and not Hufflepuff because you don't trust to easily. Oh well only one other place I can put you and that is "GRYFFINDOR!!!" She pulled the hat off and stood there for a moment and noticed that one table was up in cheers and walked over to it assuming it was her table and sat down, casting her eyes downward. Everyone got up and Professor McGonnagal walked over to her and handed her, her timetable. She sighed and set off to her class.

Lily found her class relatively easily and sat down and politely waited for the teacher to come. Her first class was potions and she was excited because this was something she would have never been able to do before she found out about hogwarts. Brushing a strand of hair out of her eyes and sighed. The teacher walked in a moment later and he looked very kind, most of the girls could be found blushing as he caught their eyes, being no older than twenty five he was quite handsome.

"Welcome to your first class at hogwarts so get started, turn to page twenty nine and get to work.

She started cutting and shredding the ingredients and put them into the cauldron and she stirred it seeing that it was bubbling and when food does that on the stove you stir. What she forgot was that this was the magical world not the muggle world and it exploded. Girls screamed and a group of boys laughed, the teacher waved his wand "silencio" and the room went silent but the peoples mouths were still moving and he muttered another spell and the room was clean again. He waved his wand and the room was noisy again. "Class dismissed" Lily stood up and walked slowly out of the class her eyes brimming with tears and wiped her eyes forcing herself not to cry. She walked and thought 'I will make it, I have to prove to everyone I am just as good as them."

The rest of the day went horrible, oh her classes were okay but she got in trouble for not getting to class on time and nobody noticed her. She had thought that since she was in a place with people like her she might make some friends but she hadn't made one. The only thing she did make was enemies, with the slytherins. Nobody in her own house knew who she was so what she did all day was study and study till her eyes drooped. She studied so much that she was fairly ahead of the class, well over a week ahead and had all her work done the day she got it.

The last day of the second week came and the only class for the day was brooms. She got up early because of nerves and went down to the common room.

AN: Hey guys what did you think of this? I will write about her flying class in the next chaoter but I really wanted to get this up. Well I hoped ya liked it.
