Disclaimer: The usual. I do not own any of J. K. Rowling's wonderful
characters, ideas, yada, yada, yada. If you recognize anything, it doesn't
belong to me. If you don't, it is MINE. This applies to all chapters.
A/N: An attempt at a lily/james fic! What's more, a romance! *gasps of horror* Hope it isn't too horrible. Please review and tell me how badly I'm doing. This one doesn't have a title yet. I'm accepting any ideas. Here goes nothing.
~*~*~*~
Five-year-old Lily Evans had the perfect life. She was a child prodigy, a singing sensation. She had a perfect family. Her parents, Violet and Paul, gave her everything she wanted. But there was one thing she wanted more than anything. The one thing her parents could not give her.
She longed to be able to do magic. Like her older brother Brett could. Like her adored aunt Rose could.
Brett was a fourth year Slytherin at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Lily and Brett had never been the best of friends, but since he began attending Hogwarts, Lily had adored him, almost hero-worshipped him. In Lily's eyes, Brett could do no wrong, and he was the most wonderful of wonderfuls.
On the other hand, Rose was Lily's best friend. Lily learned everything about the wizarding world from Rose. Lily spent more time with Rose than with her parents. The only other wizard Lily knew was Rose's boyfriend.
Tom Riddle had been dating Rose for five years. Rose was devoted to Tom, but Lily couldn't make herself trust the man. Even the fact that Brett looked up to Tom didn't convince her to let down her guard completely around him. She may have been only five, but she wasn't stupid, and she could tell that Tom was up to something funny.
~*~*~*~
Several days after Lily's seventh birthday, Rose left. She and Tom drove away one evening, and she never came back. She took nothing with her, and Lily was sure she would return someday, her usual smiling beautiful self, with some new magical gadget to amaze Lily with. After all, Rose had left without saying goodbye, and Lily was certain that whatever Rose was up to, she would never, ever leave forever without saying goodbye.
~*~*~*~
A/N: And there it is the first chapter of my first fic. Short & sweet. The second chapter is already there (if things are going as planned), and don't forget to review.
