Chapter 1: I'm Home
Sitting alone on the shining red and black Hogwart's Express, Lily impatiently awaited the arrival of James, Sirius, Remus, and Emma. Lily impulsively straightened her shining gold and red Head Girl Badge before reaching into her trunk to pull out an old and worn copy of Hogwart's A History and immersing herself in the familiar text, which she was reading for the umpteenth time. After about 15 minutes had passed and the Lily's 4 friends had only about 5 minutes to reach the train. Worried, Lily stood up and opened up the door to find herself face to face with Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape.
Tall, dark, and greasy, Lucius and Severus were the scum of the school. Hated by all except for their posse of Slytherins, they prayed on muggle- born 1st years and had taken to harassing Lily about her parentage since her first train ride.
"So, it's the mudblood isn't it?" Malfoy said with a customary sneer, "What? Did you're so-called friends desert you after seeing you for what you really are? Flith, that's what you are.you are the dirt beneath my shoes. You don't belong here you little bitch."
"Oh, shut the fuck up Malfoy" Lily replied rolling her eyes and taking out her wand "Solus Corpum" she calmly said. Then, with a laugh, she pushed the Slytherin's out of her compartment and wiped her hands off on her robes. At that moment, her 4 friends decided to barge into the compartment. James, Sirius, Remus, and Emma had obviously just had a good look at the effect of Lily's curse as they were laughing so hard they were on the verge of collapsing.
"Was it just me or were Snape and Malfoy sharing a body?" Sirius managed to say in between laughs. "That was definitely not just you, it's a nifty little spell I managed to find over the summer. I've been waiting to test it out forever! I tried using it on Petty and her boyfriend Vernon, but she just shrieked every time I came into the room and ran away!" Lily said, beginning to laugh herself.
The 5 friends passed the rest of the train ride catching up, playing Wizard's Chess (at which Sirius lost every time he played), and Gobstones until the conversation turned to the summer and the upcoming school year. "Lily, I'm so sorry that you couldn't come over this summer!" Emma said, "it was totally lonely with out you this year. And you had to spend the entire summer with Petunia and Vernon. EW!"
"Really Lili-kins, how do you survive?" Sirius asked with a grimace, obviously thinking of Lily's horse-like sister, "I would have either killed myself or her by the 2nd week! And I've never actually met her!
"To tell you the truth Sirius, I don't really know!" Lily said with a laugh, "But this summer was the best so far out of all the others I've spent at home. Petty was always at Vernon's house" Lily continued with a shudder. "But the best part was, omg! She's engaged to that, that..thing! I mean, common.I knew he was bad, but to drop as low to propose to her! The Engagement Party is in January, you guys are on the list, I don't think I'd be able to survive with out you guys!" at this last statement, James and Remus immediately started cracking up while Sirius was to busy staring at Emma to respond.
"No problem-o, Lil, we've heard how horrible she is from you! Of course we'll be there" James said with a smile on his face.
In no time at all, the Quintet was marching their way up the steps and walking into the great hall. Finally, I'm home.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* (a/n this is in October, before Halloween)
Remus, Sirius, and Emma, having all finished their homework, had all gone to sleep-- leaving James and Lily alone scribbling notes on little scraps of paper. Their books were spread all over the table and scrolls of parchment were strewn everywhere. Out of the blue Lily slammed her Ancient Runes book shut and looked pointedly at James.
"I cannot fucking do this anymore! Are the fucking professors at the fucking school fucking crazy?" she cried emphasizing every point by hitting her head on her book. "Oh my fucking god James, why the fuck do we have so much fucking homework?"
"So, taken a like to the word fuck have we now?" said James, looking up from his 8 foot Transfiguration essay which had only 2 more inches to go. "ok, ok, I'm sorry!" he said quickly seeing Lily's glare from over the table. "Come here" he said patting the place beside him while Lily slowly crawled over to him. Wow, she thought, this feels so good-so right while leaning her head on his shoulder, unaware that James had just thought the same exact thoughts. Unconsciously, James had snaked his arm around her waist as he held her close, placing his own chin on top of her head. They stayed like this for what seemed like hours, thought it was only a couple of minutes as a sharp rap rap rap on the window disturbed them. Noticing that Lily had fallen asleep, James gently moved her aside and got up to answer the owl. Who the hell sends owls at this time of night? He thought to himself. Opening the window, James welcomed the owl inside the Gryffindor Common Room. It was a most unusual bird, jet black with talons which looked sharp enough to rip a man to pieces. Delicately taking the parchment from the bird, James was startled when the bird gave him an almost affectionate nip on the finger before flying off into to pitch black sky.
Looking down at the letter in his hands, James finally noticed that it was addressed to him. Hmmm, funny. I wonder who knew I would still be awake at this un-godly hour? The letter was written on black paper with shiny blood red ink. Flipping the letter over, James noticed that there was a seal, in the same color wax, of a beautiful lily in front of a pair of antlers. Extremely confused, James slowly opened the envelope and read the letter: Hello James, (I wonder how whoever sent this knows me.)
I have been oh so interested in meeting you for such a long time. Ah, yes, I remember you mother very well when she was at school. A striking beauty, not much unlike your very own flower (what the hell? Flower?) There are always choices that we have to make in life. This is where I can help you. I am the key to power.follow me, and you will accomplish great things.
A Friend
"James?" a groggy Lily groaned, having finally woken up. "What's that? Why the hell would you get a letter at", she paused to take a look at her watch, "bloody 3 in the morning? James?" she asked again more after seeing his confused face, "is everything alright?"
James, having finally turned around only said "I have to see Dumbledore." Before running out of the portrait hole, not caring that he would probably get 4 months worth of detentions if he was caught, the only things on his mind was getting to Dumbledore and surprisingly-Lily.
Why am I thinking about Lily? Lily Rose Evans, what a beautiful name. HUH? I did not just say that let alone think it! She's my best friend for god's sake! But what if she can become more? Those stunning green eyes, wow.I could get lost in those eyes.and her hair, it always smells like strawberries.
While James was absorbed in his thoughts about his best friend, he had unconsciously made his way to Dumbledore's office, said the password, and gone up the moving spiral staircase and walked up to the door of Dumbledore's office. He was suddenly shaken out of his ravine, when he suddenly heard a voice say, "Hello James, I've been expecting you."
