Disclaimer: I have no intention of profiting from this story. Lily Evans, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Hogwarts belong to J.K. Rowling. I own the plot; Charlotte Evans, Aimee Hearthstone, and Greg Auburn. Tessa Maise belongs to Krista, and Faye Madison to Mandie. I''m just borrowing.
Thank You Notes: Krista and Mandie for being in my story.
Author Notes: Lily is treated cruelly all her life, pushed around by her step-mother, and sister. When she gets to Hogwarts and meets James Potter, who is determined to find out her past, will she finally snap?

Lily finished walking up to the stairs and came to a large cathedral-like door. She heard herself gasp at the sight of the room. It had five huge four-poster beds. Each in flanked with rich velvet hangings in different shades. There was a nightstand on either side of the bed. A rather extensive trunk at the end of each bed, and a small vanity next to each table.
Then Lily noticed three girls sitting on a bed with blue sheets and pillows. She took a step forward and stepped on something. She heard a loud yowl and glanced down to see she had trodden on the tail of a siamese cat.
"Missy! Be quiet." One of the girls said, looking over at her cat. Then she noticed Lily.
"Oh, hello. You must be the new student Dumbledore told us about. He said you were from America. I do so want to travel there someday. Especially to Georgia. I did love the book, Gone With the Wind. And the movie was superb also." she bubbled.
"Oh, dear me. I'm sorry. I've been droning on and on. Let me introduce myself. My name is Aimee Hearthstone." she stated, flipping her long hair over her shoulder.
"What's your name?" Another girl asked. This one had long blonde hair, and blue-green eyes. She was on the short side, but still very pretty.
"Lily Evans." Lily informed them. She twisted a piece of her wavy auburn hair. A nervous habit of hers.
"I'm Tessa Maise. Are you a muggle-born?" Tessa asked.
"Muggle?" Lily asked, a trifle confused.
"A non magical person." Yet another girl piped up. "My name's Faye Madison. I really wanted to be in Slytherin. But, I'm happy where I am."
Lily nodded and stood still.
"Oh, that's your bed." Aimee said, pointing to a simple bed with cream hangings.
"Thanks. I had a long day. I'm really tired. If you don't mind. I'd like to get some sleep." she said, then added a yawn for good measure. "Good night."

"Professer! I see you arrived safely." The Headmaster said to a blonde witch who entered his office.
"Yes. Has Lily arrived safely?" the blonde asked as she took a seat.
"Yes, and she has been sorted into Gryffindor. I suggest you let her know gently. She really has been through a lot." Dumbledore explained.
The young witch nodded, and felt around her neck for a circular amulet. She handed it to Dumbledore, then left. He stood up, and pulled a book from the bookcase back, revealing a hidden spiral staircase. He walked down the stairs and placed the amulet on an alter-like table.

The next day was the first day Lily would be having lessons. She dressed in black robes and went down the Great Hall. She saw the Aimee sitting next James and Sirius. They all seemed to be huddled together. She could hear bits of their conversation.
"Well we all heard what Dumbledore said before she arrived."
She placed her bag on the table rather loudly, and the huddle broke apart, and they looked at her, each one blushing deeply. Aimee moved closer to Lily, and was joined by Faye and Tessa.
"We have potions today. I hope Professer Evans is back." Tessa said, forgetting that that was Lily's last name also.
"She should be, she was in America long enough. Since the beginning of the year, I think." Aimee told her as she took a swig of her water.
'What a coincidence,' Lily thought, 'Aunt Clara's a witch, and her last name is also Evans. And she has also been at her house in Atlanta since mid-September.' And she thought no more of it.

Breakfast was over, and it was time for their first class. Potions. Lily followed her room mates down the corridor to the dungeons and walked into the classroom. They all sat in the back together. Then the door burst open. Lily looked over to see who her potions master was. She was very shocked to see her Aunt Clara standing there!
