Chapter One, part two

When she got home from Hogwarts her second year

Lily stepped out of the cab and walked into her house to see blood, but not just that. Her kitten, which she had left home after the Christmas holidays, was dead, and that was only the beginning.

Her dad had immediately walked into the room and demanded to know why it had taken her so long for her to get home and why she wasn't cleaning up the mess, mainly, Kevin, her kitten. Lily looked up at her dad with a confused face. 'He expected her to just clean up her now dead kitten upon JUST seeing it on the floor? If he did, he had another thing coming.'

So instead of instantly picking it up and cleaning off the floor, she spoke for the very last time for four years against her father. "No, I didn't do it. I don't even –"

'SLAP'

Lily was face down on the floor and could feel her face already beginning to swell.

In the infirmary, after her third year feast

Lily stumbled into the infirmary after eating the feast looking desperately for the nurse.

"Madame Pomfrey? Madame Pomfrey? Oh where are you?"

"What is it dear?" the nurse said as she stepped out of her office and looked at the small third year in front of her. "How can I help you?"

"Madame Pomfrey, can I have your word on patient nurse secrecy?"

"What? Of course. Now what is wrong with you! You look fine!"

"Not even Dumbledore. You won't tell him?"

"No no... just tell me what on earth is wrong child!"

Lily slowly took out her wand and got rid of the charm that was hiding all of her bruises and cuts causing Madame Pomfrey to gasp.

"What on earth happened to you!"

Lily stuttered trying to find an answer when the doors slammed open behind her revealing James Potter complaining about a small cut. Needless to say, she quickly muttered the spell to hide the bruises.

Lily had to stay in the hospital wing at nights for over a week. She was still allowed to go to classes but right after classes she was to report to the hospital wing for rest.

After Christmas Break, in the infirmary... third year

Lily for the second time that year stumbled into the infirmary to be treated by Madame Pomfrey.

"Miss Evans, I wish that you would let me talk to someone about this! We could get you out of there, away from them!" She mumbled as she put ointments on Lily's cuts and bruises.

"NO! Please don't, oh please don't! He'll just do it worse ok! Please don't even mention it again. I don't even want to leave them anyway!"

"Miss Evans, do you seriously want to live with people who treat you like this? Have they been brainwashing you too?"

"Madame Pomfrey, they are the only family I have! I don't care what they do to me. They are still my parents and sister. I could care less if they did this everyday. I don't care! Most of the time I deserve it anyway." Lily said before walking out of the hospital wing in a huff.

"No one deserves that, no one at all..." Madame Pomfrey whispered as she left.

The next day, Gryfinndor common room

"Why if it isn't Evans. What happened to you now? I saw you race off to the hospital wing last night, what is it... your time of month?" James Potter sneered.

Lily just stood there shocked. Who could ever say such a thing. That was totally uncalled for! Then Lily stopped and thought. Maybe she did deserve that. She really wasn't good enough, not for them, or anyone. Maybe she should just stop going to Hogwarts after this year... No, she couldn't Hogwarts protected her, Hogwarts was her home! She couldn't just leave. She would have to stay and just prove that she was smarter than the rest of them.

Getting her fifth year letter

Lily was in the kitchen. It was 5:20 in the morning; she had woken up only moments ago and was making breakfast when it came. 'It' was her Hogwarts letter, one of the only things that she ever looked forward to in the summer.

She quickly untied it from the owl's leg not helping but noticing that it was a bit heavier than normal. She then went over to her cupboard and put it in so that she could read it later. She had to finish making breakfast and the chores before she had any leisure time.

When she got to her 'room' after her chores were finished she quickly opened the letter and a badge fell out. Lily gasped... it was the prefect badge. She had been selected the prefect for Gryfinndor house! Lily was ecstatic and promptly picked up the letter scanning it quickly.

She was prefect with Remus Lupin...

Waiting impatiently for Remus, third prefect meeting of the year

Lily overheard voices in the common room... "Prongs I'm telling you. She's not worth it! No one barely even acknowledges her existence! Plus you have been mocking her for the past four years. There is no way possible! Besides, she is a freak. She does nothing but study." Lily heard a snapping of fingers. "Are you even listening to me Prongs?"

That was all that Lily heard before Remus decided to show his face outside of the portrait...


Lily woke up quickly. These memories... all of these memories were mostly ones that she had tried to forget; especially the one with Kevin in it. Kevin used to be her best friend, but after her first year at Hogwarts he had started calling her a freak, and saying that she should just die and let the world be. Lily sighed, her best friend was now one of her worst enemies, coming second only to Potter and his gang...
