(A/N = This Chapter is a litttle short but it sets the mood for a really sad chappie so enjoy and review .)
One day you see a strange little girl look at you
One day you see a strange little girl feeling blue
She'd run to the town one day
Leaving home and her country fair
Just beware
When you're there
Strange little girl
She didn't know how to live in a town that was rough
It didn't take long before she knew she'd had enough
Walking home in her wrapped up world
She survived but she's feeling old 'cause she found
All things cold Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl,
you I really should,
you I really should be
Going
I know you are sure
I know you are sure
I know
I know you are sure
One day you see a strange little girl look at you
One day you see a strange little girl feeling blue
Walking home in her wrapped up world
She survived but she's feeling old 'cause she found
All things cold
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl,
you I really should, you I really should,
you I really should Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl, I
I really should,
you I really should,
you I really should
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
you really should,
you I really should,
you I really should, you I really should,
be -- going

In all her years to come Lily would never forget that first night at Hogwarts she had awoken early at around four am and had gone over to a little window seat in her dormitory that she shared with Ethel and 3 other girls . They were all sleeping peacefully in their beds not knowing that she was out their staring out at the stars listening to their snores and feeling confused about the days events . her thoughts immediately turned to James
I should have not lost control like that imagince what I could have done had I been able to continue the fire .Lily shuddered at the though
Its simple never lose control again.
. Lily was looking down upon the great lake , She let out a sigh and touched a long slim finger to the cold window pane . As her finger touched a cold feeling spread through Lily , like frost. Lily sighed again then returned to her bed , completely unaware that the window which had once been glass was no longer anything but a cold sheet of clear ice.
4 Years later , Lily 's 4 th year
"Lily you lazy head get your arse up now ."said Ethel , who was in the process of smacking Lily hard with a pillow
" Hmmmppppphh" Lily groaned
"We have to go meet Severus."
"Fine Fine," "I'm getting up."
Lily quickly jumped out of bed and gave her best friend a bop with her pillow before running to the bathroom shrieking with laughter .
When Lily was safely locked in the bathroom away from Ethel she caught a glimpse of herself . Over her years at Hogwarts Lily had remained the same , she still wore her glasses and her waist length red hair was still always put up in a messy bun . The only thing that had changed about Lily was her body . Of course you coudnt tell in those Hogwarts robes but Lily was becoming a beautiful young woman , one that would one day show the world and herself how beautiful she could be.
But of course as usual ily took one look at herself and shied away from the mirror , over the years the mirror had always been enemy number two. (Enemy number 1 =James).
"Lily get your bum out of the loo we have to go down to the train ....."said Ethel
Lily heard a loud clunking noise and a shriek from Ethel
Lily ran out of the batroom
"Blast.....I stubbed my toe ." said Ethel wincing in pain .
Lily shook her head and pulled Ethel down to the great hall and met Severus who asked them what took so long and blushed a bright red when Lily told him she had been stuck in bathroom.
All toghether the tight knit group left through the main entrance of Hogwarts and boarded the Express to go home for the holidays .
For Lily these summer holidays were especially important , over the past few months Lily had been up every night thinking about her mother and how she was . All was not what it seemed in the Evans house , Lily's mother had been diagnosed with a brain tumor and the doctors were unsure of whether she would be all right .
Lately Lily had not heard from her family adn sas expecting the worst when she got home .
For Ethel the holidays were the times she spent time alone , her mother and father were always too busy to talkto her and her brothers were too old or too young to ralate to her . She had no one.
For Snape the holidays were about touring the countries and making "special appearances" at his fathers parties . Like Ethel he had no one . He was yet unlike Ethel in a way because he couldn't even have contact with his friends because Lily was from a muggle family and Ethels family were know to be working against the dark side. No his father would nevver approve . He would put his friends in danger .
The last thing they all said to each other was to have a good holiday before they headed their separate ways .
Snape to his guilded cage.
Ethel to her cold empty nest,
and finally Lily to her mothers arms .
