Author's Notes- Hey all! This is the third chapter in the steadily growing
"Yours Hating James Potter" series. Did any of you go and read "Lily's
Lake"? It still needs somewhere around 4 votes before continuation (I have
the next two chapters ready and waiting). So, enjoy this chapter of "Yours
Hating James Potter" and when you're done click on the little button that
says "Place a review" or something, and tell me something! Thanks a whole
ton!

It's been two months since I came to Hogwarts, and I feel like I've been here a lifetime. I miss home some, but Hogwarts is awesome. Maria's speaking to me again, for some reason (I still don't know why she STOPPED speaking to me in the first place). Potter's just being annoying Potter, but I'm not done with him yet. Oh yes, I have something big for his over blown head, and I shall do it in front of the whole school. Let's just say their's a vial of liquid underneath my bed, for a Potion I've been working on making ever since he sent me that Howler. It's Pus, that a third year stole from the Greenhouses, and I stole from them. I didn't actually steal it. The third year is Maddy's cousin, so I simply asked for it, and they gave me some. It's enough for one thing on pumkin juice, and best of all, POTTER HAS NO IDEA WHAT'S COMING! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!
Yours Laughing so Hard I think I'm having a spasm,

It worked, but it kinda backfired. You see, I woke up early with Maria's alarm clock (she gotta new one, and set it for 6:15! Urgh, this girl is driving me insane!), and hurried to get dressed, brush my hair, and grabbed my book bag with the vial tucked safetly inside. I hurried downstairs, so I was the only one at breakfast. I quickly poured some of the Pus into Potter's usual seat's goblet. But when my friends, Maria, and Potter, came down Sirius sat down in Potter's usual seat, with the pussed goblet. I think I went pale. Sirius lifted his goblet to drink and I almost died. But I knocked it out of his hand anyway, and the goblet went flying over the rest of us, drenching Potter and I, Potter who was sitting next to him and me who was standing from knocking the goblet right over him. I have it all over, on my back, my face, and my arms. Potter got it everwhere too, all over his face, down his front, and his arms too. He looked as if he could kill.
"EVANS! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!" he yelled.
Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall rushed over looking really mad. The made us go to the Hospital wing, where we had to stand a lecture on the dangers of puss. So, my face has a lot of bandages on it, same with my back, and my arm is just wrapped up in a cast. Madame Pomfrey is insisting on Potter and I staying, since we are both covered in boils, and they HURT.
"Well it's your fault, not mine," Potter said.
"Well maybe YOU shouldn't have sent me that Howler and then I WOULDN'T of tried to get you back!" I yelled back at him.
"It's still your fault," Potter answered cooly.
"It's no more my fault than it is yours," I told him.
Madame Pomfrey got so sick of our yelling at each other she seperated us with a screen. So now I'm in the Hospital Wing, writing this with my good hand, yelling names back and forth at Potter. HE IS SO ANNOYING.
Gosh, this HURTS! Remind me next time to watch where I put my pus.
Yours,
Lily
3 November 3rd
I'm finally out of the Hospital Wing. Jen, Meg, and Maddy brought me my work, so I don't have to redo anything in any of my classes (even if I did do really bad on the Transfigurating assignment). It was worth seeing the comment "Miss Evans, you really need to try a bit more on your assignments" when I saw Potter's charm assignment's "Mr. Potter, this work is unacceptable".
I'm just really mad that Professor McGonagall does that. I do try on my assignments! I really do!
Yours,
3.1 Lily
P.S.- I think Maria was disappointed that I got out of the Hospital Wing so early, even if Potter got out the same time I did.
November 10th
There's frost on the ground outside, and it's COLD! In Herbology class we spent most of the time shivering than studying the plant. It was really pathetic. Oh well, I really don't need to get sick, especially with that Transfiguration Exam coming up. I need to take lots of notes, even if it doesn't do me any good. Maybe I can talk Maddy into letting me use her notes and try to transfigure something.
Yours,
Lily
P.S.- Dumbledore said that if Potter and I get into any more fights he'll send letters home about our behavior. Petunia would taunt me FOREVER!
November 10th
Ok, I'm finally around one quarter to forgetting what Turnip did to me a few days ago, but I won't get all into that. Thank God my boils are gone. Those killed! Professor Dumbledore said that if Turnip and I get into another fight like that he'll write home. That would be really bad. You'd probably find me hanging in a tree in the backyard if that happened, but oh well. Let's just hope Turnip won't start anything, even if I do have to get her back for those boils. I'll wait and do something that won't get public attention, like maybe over the holidays send her another Howler. Nah. that's old. Oh well, I'll have to think it over. Sirius won't help me with ideas over Turnip, so I'll have to think of it myself. Sirius is on the other side of the room, counting Dumgbombs, and he thinks I'm doing homework.
James
November 14th
So far I've managed not to get on Turnip's nerves, but it's HARD. She's always on my nerves! I can't help but sometimes let comments slip. We both have to work really hard not to start trying to kill each other. She always storms up to her room when I say anything.
James
4 November 19th
It's REALLY cold outside. I wish it would just warm up. Potions in the dungeons is the WORST, except maybe Transfiguration. By the way, I got a 67 on that Exam. But at least I passed. There was a little comment on it. "Miss Evans, you must apply yourself to your lessons more." I could have puked. I don't "apply" myself? Ok, I borrowed Maddy's notes for FOUR hours the day before the EXAM and practicly memorized them. But did it help me turn a leaf into a tea cozy? Noooooooooo. So maybe McGonagall should keep her comments on applying myself to HERSELF!
Yours,
Lily
5 P.S.- I feel like going and yelling at Potter right now, but I can't. Dang, Dumbledore!
6 November 23rd
That's not much to write these days. It's all the same. I'm failing Transfiguration, having trouble getting along with Potter, so on and so forth. Everyday's the same, but exciting. Maybe it's because I'm mad at McGonagall.
Yours VERY boringly,
Lily
November 25th
I broke Maria's second alarm clock. I didn't throw this one out the window, I was trying to see if I could transfigure it, and I kinda. well. melted it. She's not too happy, needless to say.
Yours,
Lily
December 1st
I've decided to go home for Christmas. Other than that there is no news. Except the Hogwarts gossip: Mildred Bilstred, a fourth year Hufflepuff, made her hair fall out in Potions when she brewed something wrong. Oh, well, she's in the hospital wing.
Yours,
Lily
December 7th
Maria told Potter about me melting her alarm clock! I'm so mad at her, and at Potter for that fact! When I came into the Common Room after dinner Potter yelled across the room, "Evans! Still can't transfigure a clock? Tsk, tsk."
I wanted to strangle Maria. Anyway, I got my hands on a dung bomb that will find it's way into Potter's trunk. Oh, gotta go. Potter and his friends just left the Common Room. Probably another kitchen raid. I gotta to plant something.
Yours,
Lily
December 8th
Dung all over Potter's homework! Success!

Lily
7 December 10th
Ten more days until Christmas Holidays. Then I have to go home and listen to dratted Petunia. At least I have my own room now.
Yours,

December 12th
Ahah! Victory! Maria also keeps a diary! And guess what, I found it! Can you believe how incredibly insane that girl is? She left it lying wide open on her bed today! Jen, Meg, Maddy, and I had a fine time reading from it. Hahah! She is so funny. For instance, she wrote: "One day James Potter will fall desperatly in love with me and we'll get married." Talk about corny! Plus, she has JP outlined in a heart throughout the whole diary, on like every page.
"Hello, insane asylum? Can you take away Maria for us?"
Yours,
7.2 Lily
December 18th
Maria still doesn't know that we know she keeps a diary. I find it amusing to, when I'm bored, she what she writes. My name is mentioned a few times. Mostly it's "that dratted Evans girl" or something like that.
I know, I know, I should read her diary, but oh, she's so mean to me! So this is just a revenge she doesn't know about.
Yours,
Lily

I'm home. Petunia is being very much Petuniaish. She's also home for the Holidays, and talks of little else except how so and so got in trouble with so and so, or how so and so likes so and so. She' such a gossip. Plus, Mum, Dad, and I don't even know who's she's talking about! Mum and Dad nod politely, and say "is that so, Petunia?" at the right times. But I just roll my eyes and start mimicking her.
Yours,
Lily
9 Later
Dumbledore wrote Mum and Dad. They just told me. Dumbledore wrote them! He told them that Potter and I have been fighting a lot. Mum gave me such a talking to.
"Lily, we don't even know these people! We have to make a good impression to them, and that does not include fighting with them!" Mum told me.
Petunia was grinning the backround the whole time. Dumbledore said he would write if we did one more thing wrong, but he turned out writing them ANYWAY! So much for trying to be little miss good girl.
Yours extremely annoyed,
Lily
December 20th
Oh, great. I am in so much trouble. I've actually been grounded to my room for the next two days. I've NEVER been grouned before in my LIFE. And I have Turnip and Dumbledore to thank for this. Yeah, Dumbledore wrote home. Mum is furious, and so is Dad. They want me to write a "I'm sorry" letter to Turnip! That's so unfair, since she started all of the fights (ok, maybe not all, but most). When I told Dad this he said it was also my fault because I went along with it. Parents! Kel is surprised to. Mum and Dad have never been this mean to me! When I got home they were all happy. And, completely out of the blue, Dad just asks, "So, who's this Lily Evans?"
I answered, casual, "She's the really annoying muggle-born girl. I don't know why she got into Hogwarts in the first place, that's how annoying she is."
Then I noticed my mistake. Evans isn't a wizarding name. Dumbledore must have written them. My dad wasn't happy that I classified her as a muggle-born, or that I said she shouldn't be allowed in Hogwarts. So that's why I'm grounded tomorrow as well.
I have to write my letter now.
James
Dear Turnip Evans,
I'm sorry I treated you so bad at Hogwarts, and I hope you and your family will forgive me. James Potter
I'm going to kill Mum and Dad. This is so embarassing!
10 December 23rd
I got a letter from Potter. It was an apology. I guess Dumbledore sent a letter to his parents too. Mum and Dad have calmed down a bit, but Petunia wouldn't leave me alone until I threatened to turn her into a mouse and put her out in the streets. That shut her up. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Dad's sister, Lyddie, (Mum's an only child) is coming over. Dad's sister is younger than him, and adopted this really annoying girl Victoria from Germany or Austria, or someplace like that. She's two years younger than me, only nine years old, and is SPOILED rotten. Aunt Lyddie really REALLY needs to say "no" to her once in a while. Like once, Aunt Lyddie took Mum, Petunia, and I shopping and all Victoria had to do was point at something and say "I want that" and it was in the cart. Aunt Lyddie finally tried to draw the line at a expensive doll house and Victoria through a huge fit, right there in the shop. Aunt Lyddie kept telling her no, until Victoria started crying and got down on the floor, kicking and screaming, and Aunt Lyddie bent right over and bought the doll house. If Petunia or I had acted like that we'd get slapped and Mum wouldn't buy us ANYTHING.
Yours,
Lily
December 24th~ Christmas Eve
Aunt Lyddie and Victoria are here. They are spending the night, and all of tomorrow and the 26th with us because Uncle Ron is in the U.S. on buisness. So Aunt Lyddie brought over all their gifts and put them under the tree with our's. Of course, it looks like Victoria got everything she wanted on her long Christmas list.
Victoria is sharing a room with me, and Aunt Lyddie is sleeping on the pull out couch. The only reason I can write is because Victoria is asleep, finally.
Yours,
Lily
December 25th~ Christmas
Victoria is spitting mad! I wouldn't be if I were her. She got 99 out of a hundred things on her list, and is mad because she didn't get all 100! Aunt Lyddie is frantic. She kept whispering, "Vicky, dear, please! Vicky, Vicky, I'll get it for you, I promise!"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU GET IT FOR ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!" Vicky screamed, stomping her feet and banging her fists against the walls.
Meanwhile, Mum, Dad, Petunia, and I were watching from the door to the kitchen.
Finally, Aunt Lyddie gave in, and said she'd take her to the toy store and buy her anything she wanted. Big mistake, now they'll be bankrupt!
Anyways, I had an interesting Christmas, and still have tomorrow to spend with Victoria. How will I surivive? It almost makes me wish I was stuck in the same room with Potter instead of Victoria, but at least Victoria doesn't pelt me with dungbombs the whole time.
Merry Christmas,
Lily
Christmas Day
The whole extended Potter- Myers- Pratter family came over, and Sirius' family, who are really close to mine. I would have loved to play a few pranks, except for two problems. One: Mum pulled Sirius and I aside before it started, and warned us that if we pulled one prank she'd get us both grounded. Yeah, she actually said that! It turned out the reason was Great Aunt Judy was sick and looked like she would collapse at any moment, and Mum didn't want us to give her a heartattack. Two: Aunt Mary was there, and she is prone to killing anyone who made a mess of anything.
So Sirius, Kel, and I had to get our cheeks pinched and so on and so forth. Sirius said that maybe we should pull a little bitty prank, like putting a little something in the punch. So, Kel "accidently" spilled the pepper in the punch. Uncle Boris doubled over in a coughing fit as a outcome, so Mum spilt the punch out the window and made us make some more punch, which wouldn't have been so bad if Mum AND Mrs. Black were watching us the whole time.
James
11 December 27th
Victoria is gone! Finally! I have my room to myself again!
January 1st~ New Years Day
Happy New Years!
Vacation is coming to a close. We return to Hogwarts on the third. But, worry not! James Potter is in for it! Yes, it is the truth! Why? Because I'm meeting Jen, Meg, and Maddy in Diagon Alley tomorrow, and I plan on stocking up.
I know Potter sent me a "I'm Sorry Letter" but he's still Potter, and I highly doubt he's changed his ways.
Got to go, Petunia is calling me to help her make dinner (Dad's working and Mom's in the basement).
Yours,
Lily
12 P.S.- Only a few more days until I'm free of Petunia! Yay!
Author's Notes- Another short chapter, and not a very good one, but it's a chapter anyway. So, tell me what you think (be kind, not cruel), and if you think it sucked, please don't tell me so *glares at Err and ginger*. Anyway, I have another short fic up, called "Am I Missing You", so check that out, and if you haven't allready, go check out "Lilys Lake", and so on. Thanks!

Two: Aunt Mary was there, and she is prone to killing anyone who made a mess of anything.
So Sirius, Kel, and I had to get our cheeks pinched and so on and so forth. Sirius said that maybe we should pull a little bitty prank, like putting a little something in the punch. So, Kel "accidently" spilled the pepper in the punch. Uncle Boris doubled over in a coughing fit as a outcome, so Mum spilt the punch out the window and made us make some more punch, which wouldn't have been so bad if Mum AND Mrs. Black were watching us the whole time.

Victoria is gone! Finally! I have my room to myself again!
January 1st~ New Years Day
Happy New Years!
Vacation is coming to a close. We return to Hogwarts on the third. But, worry not! James Potter is in for it! Yes, it is the truth! Why? Because I'm meeting Jen, Meg, and Maddy in Diagon Alley tomorrow, and I plan on stocking up.
I know Potter sent me a "I'm Sorry Letter" but he's still Potter, and I highly doubt he's changed his ways.
Got to go, Petunia is calling me to help her make dinner (Dad's working and Mom's in the basement).
Yours,
Lily
12 P.S.- Only a few more days until I'm free of Petunia! Yay!
Author's Notes- Another short chapter, and not a very good one, but it's a chapter anyway. So, tell me what you think (be kind, not cruel), and if you think it sucked, please don't tell me so *glares at Err and ginger*. Anyway, I have another short fic up, called "Am I Missing You", so check that out, and if you haven't allready, go check out "Lilys Lake", and so on. Thanks!
