A/n: I have always been fascinated by the world of Harry's parents partly
because of Lily's name. Her name was Lily Evans before she married James.
My name is Lily Evans. Funny, eh? Well I hope you like my story and it's my
first fanfic so go easy on me, eh? Enjoy! ~Lilz
It was yet another year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Lily Evans had just been made a prefect, as she knew she would. She had been by far the best student in her year ever since she had started in first year. It was now the fifth year, and that was still a well-known fact.
She took her trunk and dragged it over to the Hogwarts express, which stood, gleaming as usual. Lily struggled her way up to the compartments with her massive trunk. Can no one see I need help here? She thought finally reaching an empty compartment, and collapsing on a seat. She sat there for a few minutes panting, in exhaustion when she realized she that the train was moving and that she had in fact been sitting there for 5 minutes. She would have gladly sat the entire time, but she heard a loud bang from the compartment next to hers. She groaned and got up to see what was going on next door.
"What was that?" she asks frowning and peeking her head into the room. There she saw a familiar group of students her own age. It was Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. She rolled her eyes. "So what have you four done now?" she said grinning and stepping inside.
"We were only experimenting. We thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if we inflated a Chocolate Frog with air and then stepped on it…" said Sirius in an falsely innocent tone.
"It was more of a project… to practice our Inflation Charms." Said James in the same fake, angelic tone of voice. He eyed the girl up and down. Wow… how could I not have noticed her before…? James thought as he eyed her once again.
"Well I can't blame you for practicing your charms." She said laughing and stepping farther in the compartment. "It's a rare thing you guys prepping for school. So did you all have a good summer?" she asked taking a seat next to Remus and smiling at him, as he sat quietly and read a book.
"Great!" exclaimed Sirius. "We went over to Potters house and blew up stuff." He said roaring with laughter. Remus couldn't help but laugh as well from behind his book.
"How about you Remus? Did you have a nice summer?" she asked giving them disapproving looks, as she turned to Remus and beamed at him.
"It was okay. How about yours?" he asked smiling back at her.
"Fairly well I suppose,…" she said shrugging. "Well I best be off." She said getting up and turning towards the door. "See you around." She said waving and winking at them all, and then she was out of sight.
Once she had gone Sirius said, "So what do you think of Lily this year… lookin' good, no?" he said grinning at the guys. Peter nodded in agreement and James blushed deeply. Remus simply buried himself deeper in his book. "Well Prongs, what do you think of her?" he asked grinning even more broadly than before.
"She's pretty good I guess…" he said trying to hide the fact he was deeply impressed by her. Sirius gave up, and turned to Remus.
"How come she was so nice to you?" he asked frowning.
"Well we study together… you know, whenever I'm in the library she's usually there too." He said shrugging and going back to his book. He had hoped that they would become more than just friends after spending so much time together, but he had been proven wrong.
"Ouch, I should go to the library more often." He said shaking his head in astonishment. "Didn't know they came that hot in the library!" he said which made everyone laugh.

Lily went back to her compartment and sat there alone for most of the train ride to Hogwarts. She could have sworn she kept seeing a pair of cold black eyes peering into her compartment every so often, but she shook it off every time.
You know maybe those guys aren't so bad after all. So what they break rules every little while… so what? She thought to herself, thinking about James Potter the quidditch star. She thought she had spotted him checking her out but she couldn't be sure. He's very cute, and he's not all that bad. I mean, so he's not exactly my type… but opposites attract right? She thought, trying to convince herself that she might stand a chance with James. She had spent so much time sitting there and thinking that the train had reached Hogsmeade station in no time. She got off and hopped into a carriage. Remus soon joined her, and she greeted him with a warm smile. He returned the smile, trying not to blush too much, and said, "So are you ready for another year?"
"I'm always ready." She said grinning. She laughed and then felt the carriages move.
She's got the most lovely laugh…he thought staring into her emerald green eyes.
Lily felt him staring at her and she shifted uncomfortably. He eased his stare to a gaze as he noticed she was feeling uneasy and the sat in silence for the rest of the ride.

She joined her good friend Bea Groves for dinner. "You look great Lils." She said to her as she took some stew from the table.
"And you." Said Lily smiling at her friend beside her. "We are so going to have the best boyfriends this year!" she said giggling.
"For sure!" she said laughing, and nodding in agreement.
James stared at her, a short ways down the table. That laugh is amazing…he thought dreamily as he drowned out his friends talking, and concentrated on only her.
Little did he know, others were doing the exact same thing. One of them was a good friend of his. And one of them was an enemy of his. But right then he took no notice, because his love was beginning to grow… just like many others'.
