Ok, I kinda got the 5th chapter and this one mixed up, sorry about the
delay. -_-
Their first encounter turned out to be a disaster. James thought Lily was a studious freak and Lily thought James was a sex-obsessed jerk.
Is it possible for the most popular guy in Hogwarts to get along with a practical nobody like Lily?
We will find out soon ...... won't we?
Chapter 4
ALONE
NORMAL POV
It was the first official day of school. Lily woke up and noted it was 6 am. She was always an early bird, ever since she was little.
Lily tidied her bed and stared sadly at the family photo she placed on her bedside. In the picture, her beautiful mum was leaning on her wonderful dad's shoulder. In their arms were two little girls. One had tousled blonde hair and annoyed brown eyes, and the other had wind-blown red hair and excited green eyes.
Lily used an animate potion to make the photo move. The younger girl - who was the red headed one - kept on trying to snatch the strawberry lollipop away from her sister who held it steadily in her hand. The older sibling was clearly VERY annoyed, but her younger sister seemed totally oblivious to her frustration and continued to hassle her for the lollipop endlessly.
The two parents looks down at their children adoringly, and then looked back to each other with gladness in their eyes. Next, in one swift motion, they turned towards Lily and waved happily. The two quarrelling girls stopped their argument and turned to where their parents were waving at. They broke into a smile when their eyes caught the face of their favourite owner (and the only one), and jumped up and down enthusiastically. Forgetting their quarrel for the time being.
Lily stared fondly at the memory, but a sad smile tugged the corners of her mouth. It was five years since her parents and her sister died but she never got over their death. This was the only picture she had of them. Lily - the redhead - and her sister - the blonde - were constantly rowing over the stupidest things, but they were best friends as well. The Lily in the photo was only five years old, and Pettie (a nickname she gave to Petunia) was merely seven.
Lily whispered inaudibly to the photo, 'I miss you.' It was the sentence she says everyday. Every morning and every night.
The figures in the photo frowned. They were concerned. They didn't get why their beloved owner always says those words, and they seemed to cause her so much pain as well. It's not like they were going to be smashed soon or anything.
(A/N I know people in photos don't have feelings or whatever, but I thought it sounded quite good, so HA!!!)
Lily held the photo close to her, a lonely and miserable tear escaped from her eyes and hit the photo frame. She wiped it away gently and put the photo down.
She has to study hard this year, it was her final year and she will be taking NEWTS. Lily was hoping to get into the Ministry, the Lightporter task thing might be there. Since it was most likely that the Ministry had some information that would be valuable to the evil side.
She dressed silently, careful not to wake any of her roommates up. She wore loose, baggy and WAY TOO BIG top and trousers underneath her black Hogwarts robe. She was poor, her parents weren't rich and so she never inherited anything, the house was destroyed totally so she couldn't sell it. Then she pinned her Head Girl badge onto the front of her robe and checked that everything was in place.
Lily went to the bathroom next and came out ten minutes later with her face cleaned and her teeth brushed.
She got everything ready for the day the night before. So she grabbed her backpack and slid quietly through her dorm. And down the Girls' Dormitories staircases.
Lily looked around the Gryffindor common room. Scarlet and gold graffiti were sprayed everywhere. Empty bottles of Butterbeers rolled on the floor. Cakes and biscuits were half-finished, and they were displayed clearly on the tables.
No doubt that James Potter and his fellow Marauders (Lily found out the name yesterday during one of their conversations - 'Hey! What shall we do this year? My dear old Marauders!' James said during the feast) held a party here last night. And "accidentally" forgotten to clean the place up. Typical, huh!
Lily heaved a sigh, she seriously hoped that James and her would get along. But that didn't prevent her from considering him as a sex-obsessed asshole instead of her partner.
Lily wasn't in a mood to clean up this morning so she just stepped over the garbage and walked to the door. She whispered 'Gryffindor rules' (the password) and climbed through the door, which was also a painting of a fat lady called Fat Lady (huh?).
Lily immediately took off to the library, her favourite place in the whole of Hogwarts. And settled down on her favourite seat, where she buried her head into a book as soon as her bottom touched the soft cushions.
She didn't know how long she stayed there, nor did she care. That is until the Librarian, Madam Pince, told her kindly that it was time for breakfast. Madam Pince always liked Lily, she thought that Lily was a very nice, very quiet and very shy kind of girl. Lily reminded her of herself sometimes.
Lily scurried towards the Great Hall, where many of the students were seated already. She sat on her usual place and started to eat. Scrambled eggs with toasts, and a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice were Lily's usual. She swallowed them down very quickly and hurried off. As she left the hall, she could hear the flapping of owls as they flew to their owners. It was the owl post collection time.
Lily knew there was no need for her to look back because no one ever send her anything, not even a present for her birthday or Christmas.
But she was past caring now, she learnt to accept the fact. And the fact was she had no one.
No one at all......
