Disclaimer: Okay, here we go again. Most characters in this story are not mine, with the exeption of one or two which are based on actual people. If you can't tell which are mine, and which aren't, then I suggest you go read the actual Harry Potter books once or twice more. Sue me if you wish, but it really wouldn't be worth your time as all I own are the clothes on my back, the typewriter I got for my birthday and an Aaron carter CD from my aunt about four years ago. So ya see? Anyway, No copy right laws were intended to be violated. Now how about we go on with the story?



Somewhere Over the Rainbow. .




Prologue



Lily Evans sat on her bed, and looked out the window with mild interest. Her eyes studied the black sky and raindrops softly fell to the ground. Lily smiled to herself, and looked down at the letter she was clutching in her fingers. She once again read the neat scrawl, and her smile grew bigger when she thought it would all be happening tomorrow. Tomorrow, she would be going back to Hogwarts.

Her he art swelled at the memory of her second home, and she tiredly lie down on her bed. Lily set the letter on her bedside table and snuggled into her pillow. Clapping the lights out, Lily closed her eyes and listened to the tranquil beat of the rain. Thoughts of tomorrow flooded her mind.
Do I have everything? Mm. . I wonder what all of my classes are. I hope I got the ones I signed up for. . I can't believe this is the last year! I hope I do okay on N.E.W.Ts. Hm. . I wonder how Severus has been doing over the summer. I just hope James isn't as hard on him this year. . James. Yuck..

In the dark, Lily made a face of disgust and pulled the soft velvet blankets around her. Her piercing green eyes darted open as she heard someone stumble in the room. Her eyes darted around the dark, and she could barely make out the dark shape of her Sister crawling into bed after sneaking out to meet Vernon again.

How could she stand him? He was so. . Normal. But then again, hat was her sister. Petunia loved normal, and hated the abnormal. . Her sister for instance. Petunia loathed her sister, and Lily knew it. It was because Lily was everything but normal and honestly, she liked it that way. I don't think I could stand being normal. . thought Lily tiredly as she mumbled a goodnight to her sister.

Her sister only grunted in reply and crawled into bed, thinking of course, about Vernon.

Soon after, her snores filled the room and Lily buried her face in her pillow, trying her hardest to get asleep. She needed to after all. Tomorrow would be a big day. .
