Ch. 1 - Past Life
Lily Evans lived a normal life, in a normal school, with a normal family. At least she had until her eleventh birthday when a dark brown barn owl soared in through the kitchen window, dropping a letter in her very lap. From that day on, her life changed forever into something she would never forget.
Three months later, on September first, Lily Evans boarded the Hogwarts Express and began her life at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There she began her first day, and then her second, and then her third, forth, fifth, and so on. She made her friends, and she made her enemies. Her friends were Raelene Goodson, Bailey Jordan, Angela Warner, Dussika Dulac, Willow Harrison, Kennedy Post, Jade Stone, Alice Mills, Chelsey Dickison, Bret Lightning, Andrew Collins, Stephen Sander, and her best friend of all was Ashlyn Sephre. Her enemies; Severus Snape, Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa Black, Courtney McGrint, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew.
As time passed, friendships grew to be stronger, or lessened to be weaker. Ashlyn and she were like sisters by Christmas holidays, which they spent with Bailey and the newly founded group of troublemakers, the "Marauders" whom became the biggest pranksters in the history of Hogwarts. Lily didn't like the four boys much, but Bailey and Ashlyn had become quite close to the group when Lily was off studying or something else. The three girls exchanged rings that day. Each received one that fit on her right ring finger, and all of them looked the exact same; silver, and large enough to hold a square gem of their color choice. Lily went with and emerald green; Bailey went with a deep sapphire blue, and Ashlyn, with a blood red of some sort of gem neither of the others girls had heard of.
Time passed and the first summer began. Lily saw Ashlyn the first week of vacation, as well as Bailey for a week straight before Ashlyn had to go home. Then the summer began to pass. Occasionally, Lily would see some of her other classmates here or there, but not to often. The letters Ashlyn had been sending her suddenly stopped coming. Lily checked with Bailey to hear the exact same news, and soon heard that from everyone else she had been writing. Ashlyn was well liked for her spunky outgoing personality, and her odd leave did not go unnoticed.
When second year began, Ashlyn didn't come, and there wasn't a single explanation from anyone other then to 'simply just accept this and continue on with your studies and daily lives.' For months Lily kept an eye out for her dear friend, as well as did Bailey, Willow, and the marauders. Yet still, no word came. She began to lose hope as did everyone else, and soon enough. Ashlyn Kateri Sephre was a memory of the past.
Everyone moved on as the years past. Lily found a wonderful friendship in her dorm mates Raelene, Tessa, and Adriana. Tessa brought her out into the world of dating and boys. One of her favorite things in life, as many said. Adriana brought out a bit of wild and excitement that had been long forgotten. And then there was Raelene. The one alone who helped her to learn to forget what needed to be forgotten. James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter managed to keep her on her toes and her angry temper up at all times, but what else could they ever do for her?
Second year passed. Then third. and fourth. and fifth was nearly over when late one night, Lily and Bailey stumbled across something they had never seen before. A large, dark, leather bound photo album hidden under the window seat behind the lose panel that Lily nearly fell through upon leaning against it. They found something in that book that they swore to never repeat and kept that way. It was agreed they would take turns watching over the book to make sure no one else found the old and only memories of their dear old friend, whom had long since passed. Yet in the book was not only photos of the good times, but family trees, birth certificates, everything imaginable to be used to tell about a person on a sheet of paper.
Then the summer began, and Bailey kept in touch with Lily well. Often the two met to look farther into and closer at the old book. Of course, they kept up with their other friends as much as they could, as they didn't want to end up like Ashlyn. Whatever it was that happened to her. Lily often saw more of the marauders, and as far as Lily was concerned, they, James especially, were as arrogant and conceited as ever. Yet, being Bailey's friend, she put up with them, and a few times, they did manage to make her laugh; Sirius in particular. Then the school year came, and Lily found herself once again staring at the large scarlet steam engine.
