Lily fingered her schedule anxiously. Her first class was Charms with the Ravenclaws, then Transfiguration with the "Puffy Huffs" as James had called her former House, then Potions with the Slytherins. After that came lunch, followed by Divination, Astronomy, and Defense. Lily was, as usual, quite nervous about the year ahead of her and especially her classes with the Slytherins and Hufflepuffs. Trying to avoid the Slytherins for six years had been hard enough, but now she had friends-turned-enemies to watch out for in the Hufflepuffs.
After they settled into the Charms classroom, Dumbledore interrupted the class to request to speak with Lily for a few minutes. On the agreement that Lily would get her notes from another student, Professor Liliput excused Lily from class while he continued to teach the class how to charm their old notes to self-destruct.
Once out of the classroom, Dumbledore led Lily to his office. After a muttered "meringue" and a gargoyle's recognition, they met Professor McGonagall, who was waiting patiently for them to return.
"Ah! Lily, there's some business we have to discuss with you." Lily politely sat down and waited for her Transfiguration professor to continue.
"As you may well know, the Quidditch commentator position rotates between the houses every three years." Lily nodded in recognition. "Seeing as your former house has been commentating for the past three years, it is time for the position to be passed down to the Gryffindors. In an attempt to help make your unfortunate transition easier, we have decided to offer this role to you for a second year."
Lily looked around her in shock. Were they serious? She had never imagined they would be so accommodating. "Wow! That - that'd be great!"
It was almost as if she had her old life back.
Almost.

Lily stared out her dorm window at the starry sky. Despite the extreme generosity of her Headmaster and Transfiguration teacher, Lily's day was still only mediocre. She hadn't missed much from Charms when she was being told the news, but her professor wasn't nearly so optimistic. If he had known her and known how great of a student she was, he probably wouldn't have given her so much trouble about missing class.

A/N: There. That's it. That's all I've ever and will ever write of this story. Sorry it's such a let down. I just hate how stupid and fairytale-ish this story has become. I hope to someday start over from Ch. 2. It's just that the story's changed so much from what I had originally hoped for. It's so unrealistic. I wanted more about her transformation, her emotions, everything, and now everything's happening so hunky-dorily that it just makes me sick. I can't continue. I'm really sorry to let you down. However, hopefully I'll manage to make this story live up to its full potential when I redo it.
Thank you for your patience, and I'm so sorry to do this to all my wonderful readers.
Please review regardless. Tell me what you think. I need to know what you want from a redo, whether or not you liked this version, what you liked from this story, and anything you want to tell me. Also, if you liked it just the way it is, don't hesitate to tell me. I'm just trying to make all you guys happy - not to mention myself.
Thanks,
