Lilly sat the doorstep waiting for
the mail. She loved to wait for the
mailman to come, whistling on his way and then the cheery welcome as he handed
her the mail. Because it was summer,
she could do it every day and not have to worry about school. The man came up the drive and greeted
her. She smiled as he handed her the
mail and she began sorting through it as she walked back to the house. Yes!
She thought, I got a letter!
It was a weird letter, written in green ink and on heavy parchment
paper. She opened it, scanned the
letter and dropped it on the floor in shock.
She couldn't believe what this letter has just said. Dumbly, she picked up the letter and ran to
her mother's room. Her mother looked at
the letter and sighed. Lilly looked at
her in a shocked fashion because her mother knew what was going on. It looked like her mother knew that she was
going to get a letter saying that she was to be a witch in training at a place
called Hogwarts! Her mother offered an
explanation:
"Your grandmother warned that this
might happen. Your great aunt is a
witch and it runs in the family. I was
surprised that Petunia didn't get a letter also, but life has its reasons."
After that,
Lilly's life went by in a blur. Before
she knew it, she was in a place called Diagon alley buying things for the
school year. I am going insane. Did I just see someone advertising dragon
toenails? She thought. She shook
her head and forgot to watch were she was going and bumped into a boy just
taller than her height.
"Oh, sorry, hey!" she said when she saw that he had been
holding a glass of water when she bumped into him. Now he was holding an empty glass, for the water was now dripping
all over her shirt. Fortunately, her
shirt wasn't white. She shot a glare at
the boy, he was tall, had brown eyes that were almost black now, and black hair
that stuck up in the back. His two
friends were sniggering behind their hands.
One had longish brown-black hair and the other had dirty blonde hair,
both were tall.
"Sorry about that," the first boy
said. "You should watch were your
going. Let me help." With an evil grin on his face, he brought
out a wand and tapped her shirt. It
turned white and was still very wet.
Lilly punched him in the nose (hard), glared at other boys and pulled a
sweatshirt out of her bag and put it on.
"That was my favorite shirt,
moron." She said to him. He just stared
at her, with a handkerchief held to his bloody nose. She smiled and walked away.
"I don't
think she likes me. Are you getting the
same impression?" James Potter asked
his friends. Sirius Black shook his
long blackish hair out of his gray-blue eyes.
Remus Lupin rolled his eyes.
"I think we got that impression,
Jamie-boy." Sirius remarked. Remus rolled his eyes again and fought back
a smile.
"Couldn't even get away from all
the girls running at you even when you're on vacation. The world is sad indeed."
It was James's turn to roll his
eyes. He had a problem at school. All the girls were all over him all the time
and it got VERY annoying.
"It's NOT my fault! And besides, they don't usually punch
me." He protested.
"It's not you fault that your
gorgeous, perfect, play Quidditch, trying out for the house team this year, and
has moi for a friend. Yeah… RIGHT." Sirius said with a smirk. Remus looked
like he was going to gag. James rolled
his eyes again but said nothing and balled up the bloody handkerchief and
shoved it into his pocket .
"We better go, dad will get mad if we are out too
late." James said into the
silence. The trio left the alley and
walked into the street.
Lilly was back home when her shirt began to turn back to its
original color. Good thing the spell
wasn't permanent or that kid would have been very dead. She hadn't run into them again when she was
shopping for her school supplies. Now
the stuff was in a trunk at the foot of her bed at home, ready to go. Soon the day of September 1st
came and Lilly was sitting in the car on the way to the king's cross
station. The number for the platform
was really odd. But Lilly was sure she
could figure it out. Her mother had to
leave early because of a screaming Petunia.
She noticed a short girl, well, shorter than her very tall self, who was
lugging a trunk behind her, with a cat in a carrier on top. She walked over and introduced herself. "Do you know how to get to platform 9 and
¾?"
"Ohhh, you're going to Hogwarts too, correct?" she drawled in a American Southern
accent. "So am I, my name's Jennifer
Lopess." Jennifer noticed that Lilly
raised an eyebrow at her name and added in a warning. "Don't even THINK about calling me Jennifer Lopez, or else you
will have the crap beaten out of you. I
am a very experienced beater-uper. It
tends to happen more with the annoying guys in my class. At Hogwarts, I might get away from the worst
of the teasing and asking for autographs."
She smiled pleasantly. "Follow
me." She turned and walked trough the
barrier between platforms. Lilly
stared. Timidly, for the first time in
her life, she walked up to the wall and leaned against it.
Poof. Lilly's mind went insane.
How did that happen? She was
through the wall! And staring into the
eyes of the moron from Diagon alley.
"Oh, great.
You." She remarked and walked
away.
"Hello to you too." He remarked at her retreating form.
Lilly found Jennifer and then stowed her trunk away. She grabbed a book, Mara, Daughter of the
Nile, and her needle point of a flaming sun and followed Jennifer onto the
train. They chose the back compartment
and sat across from each other. Both
girls soon became engrossed in their books, only to be interrupted by the
opening of a door.
After seeing Fire Dragon, James looked for Remus and
Sirius. He found them just coming in
from the barrier. They stowed their
trunks and then headed back to their claimed compartment from last year. As they opened the door, two intruders
looked up for their books with annoyed expressions on their faces. The girl with brown curls and multicolored
eyes spoke first. (A/N by multi colored
eyes I mean endlessly changing rings of blue, brown, teal, and gold
flakes. Like mine. *smiles* )
"Need some thing?
Other wise go away."
Fire Dragon's bright green eyes just narrowed.
"Please excuse me, darling ladies, but this is our compartment." Remus stated with a wave of his hand.
"Well, I'm sorry, gentlemen, but we were here first
and there is nothing you can to about it." Brown Curls said with snapping
eyes. Her knuckles turned white as she
gripped her hardback book, Spindle's End.
"But this has been our compartment for a year now." Sirius said with a slight pout in his
voice.
"Whoop-de-frickin'- doo."
Brown Curls turned her finger in the air. "I don't really care. You
people should really be flexable. It's
a good triait to have."
"I now have a new opinion of you people." Fire Dragon said at last.
"Really? That we're
nice, funny, good looking, and the best athletes a round?" James asked.
"No, that you're not only perverts, but obnoxious morons who
are so full of themselves that they can't even be flexible. You are brats that have to get their
way. That's my new opinion."
"Ouch." Brown Curls
said with a smirk playing at her lips.
"Well, if you feel that way, then I should know your
name. Names." James corrected himself after a glance a Brown Curls.
"If you insist. My
name is Lillith Joanne Evans. My
friends call me Lilly, you can call me Evans.
A little about my self. I have a
very weird lingo that I use a lot. I
hate being called names about my hair and have already beaten up three kids, boys,
because of it. I have a sister named
Petunia and she is almost as bad to be with as you."
James raised an eyebrow.
"Almost?"
"Better believe it."
Evans replied.
"Ah, yes. Now my
turn. I am Jennifer Lane Lopess. Do not ask me for my autograph or make any
remarks about Jennifer Lopez's dress she wore to the Grammy's. I am from Texas, America, and am not a
citizen of England. I am very good
friends with the Queen of England, who happens to be my god mother and a
witch. I am a single child, but lives
with my cousins in Dallas. Did I forget
to mention that I've socked more kids than dearest Lillith here because of
teasing? Good, remember that. Now your turn. You don't have to give explanation of why you're your demented
selves, though." Lopess said in her
very fake British accent.
"I'm James Herald Potter."
James said.
"I, my darling ladies, am Remus W. Lupin." Remus said elegantly.
"Middle name," Lopess threatened with her wand.
Remus sighed. "Wilfred." He glared at Evans as she snorted.
"Sirius Christopher Black.
So, are you going to leave or not?"
"No, we are not going to leave. If you want to sit in the farthest corner form us, that would be
fine but go away." Lopess said and
then both girls promptly turned back to their books.
That's it for now, kiddos.
Please review!

ALL MINE!!!!!! If you really believe that then you need to go to a mental

able to think of something that creative.
So there, sue me. I only own
Jennifer.
