this story)

Ch 1~ Diary Entry

Dear Diary,

Lily again. Well tomorrow I start my sixth year at Hogwarts. When I usually write the

'day before going back to Hogwarts' entry, I talk about my summer and how mean Petunia was

to me, well this year it's different. The only thing I will talk about today is...James Potter. The

black haired, hazel eyed, handsome...GIT!!! Oh, I HATE him! He is just so awful.

The first time I saw him, oh he was so cute. I had met him in Flourish and Blotts book

shop. He was sweet and charming.On the first train ride to Hogwarts, he wanted to sit with me,

but of course my best friend Leila and her friends Hope, and Madeline (Maddy) had to sit with

me. James obviously felt uncomfortable, so he left and sat with three boys. Three boys that I wish

he would have never met! Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and the rat, Peter Pettigrew. They soon

became best friends (James and Sirius were practically joined at the hip) and that's when the

troule began,..

Word spread on the first day of classes (first year) that James had a crush on me, I didn't

think it was true. I thought we were just friends. So that day at lunch I went up to him, just to say

hi. When I got there, Sirius nudged James on the shoulder and then winked at him. I didn't know

why he winked. Well, James turned around and winked at me. "Hey baby!" he said. He was

talking like the famous wizard actor Warwick Gibbs, when he and Stella Wright played two

starcrossed lovers in the movie 'Gone on a Broomstick'. It was one of those 'Here's lookin' at

you kid' films, if you know what I mean. But James got worse "You are looking good. Did you

ever know how sexy you were..." He just continued talking like a 1930's american gangster. He

even put on an American accent. It was so childish! He really changed, and I had a hunch that

Sirius had something to do with it. I told him to get a life, and I walked away. Soon the fake

accents slowed down (Not completely of course) and he started hexing people for the fun of it.

James would be so excited when we learned new curses and charms, because that meant that he

would be able to hex more people with different spells. He was so annoying.

By second year, things became worse. The worst of the worst...James made the

Gryffindor Quidditch team, he was a chaser. And seeing that we were in the same house, I had to

hear him brag about it....ALL THE TIME! I guess he thought that by him making the house team,

I would be impressed and want to go out with him! NOT! I hated the kid even more! And him

and his awful friends (However, Remus Lupin, wasn't that horrid) were always so mean to

Severus Snape, the poor greasy haired boy (Well at least I thought of him that way before he

called me a Mudblood). He would just be walking down the hall and James would put the leg

locker curse on him for no good reason. Though sometimes he deserved it, like the time when he

called me a Mudblood...but anyway, James kept getting worse and worse. He even started

messing his hair up and making it look like he was all windswept and had just gotten off of a

broomstick. He was just disgusting!

Third year, as you know, I started dating Chandler Gould. He was in 4th year at the time.

He was a beater on the Gryffindor team, and he was quite good at it. We are still dating by the

way. He is very nice. Tall, muscular, and very handsome. He has the bluest eyes and the blondest

hair I have ever seen. Oh, he is just a doll, and he is so kind to me. I call him my little Ducky.

Once James found out that I was dating him, he was mad. James was determined to make

Chandler's life a living hell. Since he was on the same team as Chandler, he had a great

oppourtunity to do so. During matches, James would bash him with his broom, of course making

it look like an accident. Madame Manasero, the flying teacher, favored James. And everytime he

would bash Chandler, he would look over at me in the stands, and make sure I was looking. I

learned over the years that every time I go to a Quidditch match, I would bring a sign saying "GO

CHANDLER!" and raise it up every time James did something to him. That made James VERY

mad, and me VERY happy! My best friend Leila Walsch, had developed a crush on James that

year. No, It was a HEARTTHROB! She wouldn't stop talking about him. It got rather annoying

actually.

Before I continue, let me tell you a little bit about my friends, though I've written about

them numerous times in the past years, I have never really explained them. Leila (pronounced

Lee-La) Walsch, my best friend. She has brown hair and brown eyes. All the boys think she is

pretty, and they have all asked her out at least twice. But she refuses all of them...she wants

JAMES POTTER. She is kind of short, and awfuly clumsy. She can't walk across a room

without tripping over something. She is such a wonderful friend, and dosn't stop talking about

JAMES!!! That's the only thing I don't get about her...HOW COULD SHE LIKE HIM???

YUCK! Well, then there's Hope and Maddy. They aren't really that great of friends to be honest.

Hope talks too much and Maddy talks behind your back. But me and Leila are nice, so we hang

out with them. By the way Hope is blonde, and Maddy has brown hair. Yeah, Leila and I don't

really like Maddy and Hope. We have eachother and that's enough!

Fourth year was pretty much the same as third year. James was still awful and he was still

hanging around the rest of the Marauders (that's what those troublemakers became known as).

Rumor spread that they even created a map that showed if teachers were walking around, and

secret passages and stuff. I don't believe it. The four boys got stranger and stranger. They started

calling eachother strange names. Remus was known to them as Mooney, James as Prongs, Peter

as Wormtail, and Sirius as Padfoot. It is odd, isn't it? And they were just so popular, well at least

James, Sirius, and Remus were. I didn't know how or why! In my opinion, they were nerds. To

my surprise, Hope, began to go out with Remus. She however broke up because she said he was

acting a little strange one night, and ran off towards the whomping willow tree. Odd.

Fifth year, Remus Lupin and Alice Bugwater, became Prefects. I don't know how on

earth, Lupin got to be a Prefect! He didn't do anything! For example, one day, James and Sirius

were picking on Snape. They were pulling his robes over his head and hanging him upside down,

and all Lupin did was sit there, reading a book. He didn't try and stop James and Sirius at all! So

I decided to step in and help poor Snape, but he thanked me by calling me a Mudblood. Now I

refer to him as "Snivellus", so does everybody else at School. He really is a dirty scum! But

Snivellus is no worse than Potter. Then when Snivellus called me a Mudblood, James stuck up

for me. It felt good, having someone stick up for me. But like I said, he is no better than

Snivellus, so I yelled at him and made fun of his hair, and called him a show off. Oh, did I

mention that he asked me out...AGAIN. And you know what I said? I said that I would go out

with the giant squid rather than him! He didn't know what to say after that. It was great seeing

the "GREAT JAMES POTTER" all confused! Leila had been watching the whole thing back by

the lake. When I returned, she said how lucky I was to have had James ask me out! I told her that

it made me want to hurl.

I really wonder how school is going to be this year. Maybe Leila will finally get her

chance, and go on a date with James! I don't really know. But I hope it's better. Hey, and

maybe...

Lily stopped writing, her mother was calling her to dinner.

...James will deflate his head a little bit! That would be mother calling. Time for dinner.

Well, until tomorrow...

With Love,

Lily Evans

A/N~ Okay my last story 'A Tale of Two' is too long, and all of the good stuff happens in 6th and

7th year. So I've decided to make it shorter by putting years 1-5 in Lily's diary entry, and years 6-

when Lily and James die, the story. It's shorter and less boring! Hope you liked

Your destiny is below (Just click the review button, k?) Lol
