-----------------

One day, during the summer break, when Lily was in her room listening to a song called, "Imagine," by John Lennon, (*grins* I just had to add that. I'm listening to it right now.) She was thinking of this quote, "No man is an island."

Well, if no one were an island, then what would become of her? Would she just gradually break apart and float away? She couldn't sigh again: She was out of them. 

-----------------

No, the spell hadn't worn off, but her family and everyone in the muggle world was paying attention to her. She knew it hadn't worn off, because she bought all her stuff in Diagon Alley already, and nobody took heed of her there.

Right now she was alone at home, her mom had taken Petunia shopping and her Dad was at work. At first she wanted to amuse herself by hitting her head on the wall, but then she changed her mind and decided to watch this new television set.

By the time her mom came back home two hours later, Lily was still watching the T.V. 

"Hey Lily! Finally get around to watching the T.V., hmm?" Her Mum said to her smiling.

"Yes, Mummy." Lily responded, tearing her eyes away from the screen to her mother, "It's actually quite interesting… It gives me something to do."

But her mom wasn't paying attention, Petunia had started complaining to her that she didn't like a shirt they just bought, and wanted to go and return it. "I can't be seen wearing this! Why did you buy this for me mum?"

"First of all Petunia, I bought it, yes, but I didn't choose it." Said her mom exasperatedly. Obviously complaining was something Petunia often did.

"Oh, Petty. Just get on with it, it's a nice shirt, anyways." Lily said, truthfully. It was a red colored shirt, with the words, "If I throw a stick, will you leave?" in silver.

Petunia wrinkled her nose and said, "Then you could have it. Hmph." With that, she threw the shirt aside, and stalked off.

"Actually, Lily, you could take it. Once our dearest Petty has made a decision, she won't change her mind." Lily's mother said, picking the shirt off the floor and handing it to Lily.

"Really? I do like the color red anyways… Thanks, mum."

-----------------

Lily wished she could stay at home forever, and just be home-schooled by a witch or a wizard. She liked some attention, but not too much. Maybe she could quit Hogwarts, and switch to a local muggle high school. Naw… It was like running away from something. Lily wasn't a coward. She had to face the facts… and the magic that did this to her.

Yes, Lily was back at school. Her 3rd year was as boring as the last month of school in her 2nd year. Everyone ignored her, as usual. She could have been better off dead. No, she wasn't suicide. Because people didn't notice the dead, and nobody noticed her. So what was her reason to live?

'No, Lily. Don't think these thoughts! You're the rebel -- like… a tiger. And the spell will fade away. Soon, yes…' But what was the good of lying to herself? Nothing was getting better, or worse.

It was absolutely boring. Her daily "schedule" was not more or less the same everyday. She wished she could just bang her head all throughout the day.

 -----------------

4th year, she started experimenting with this charm. Once she wondered if she punched someone, would they notice? She did, and surprisingly, they didn't notice. Once or twice that year she actually screamed out loud in class, (Hormonal rages. XD) and everyone stopped what they were doing, looked at her, and started chattering again.

5th year she became depressed, and had suicidal thoughts.

 Ever heard of that saying, "3rd time's the charm?" Well, it wasn't for Lily. This was her third year of having this charm, and no changes.

-----------------

6th year… Oh, dearest 6th year.

One day, in the middle of the year, Lily was singing slow, sad songs throughout the hallways. And, surprisingly, people were actually looking at her. No, really! They didn't look away, they stared, and whispered. Like they actually noticed her. So, Lily went up to a group of 7th years and started chatting with them.

"Hey! How are you guys doing?" She did this a lot for the past 4 years, and nobody minded – Heck, they didn't respond back most of the time.

"…Uhm. Go away." Was a nearby 7th year's reply.

"WHAT?" Lily almost screamed, "YOU WANT ME TO GO AWAY!? OH MY GOD. I LOVE YOU. YOU ACTUALLY SAID SOMETHING TO ME." She was so happy she hugged every single person in that little crowd.

"H-H-Hey, and, um. You didn't answer m-my other question. H-how are you guys doing?" Lily was so happy that she stuttered.

The 7th years were looking at Lily like they had never seen anything quite like her before, and were backing away slightly before answering things like, "Fine." Or "I'm doing alright..." And after that, they asked her to go away, again.

So Lily, happy as ever, practically skipped down the hall to her next class.   

-----------------

But that happened only one day. Can you believe that? Just one. Maybe it was because the charm was flickering off her or something, she didn't know. But maybe it was a good sign, or a bad.

But that day was absolute bliss. She talked to people around her, and they talked back. Some people thought she put a cheering charm on herself too severely, though.

And Dumbledore said the oddest thing to her that day, he said, "It's nice to see you back, Ms. Evans."

But then the next day, everyone went back to his or her normal state. But Lily, well, let's just say her mood was a bit more lighter.

-----------------

A/N: I think I took it a bit too far with the, "I LOVE YOU," part, don't you think? Yeah, well, *cough* And, you would be happy too if nobody had noticed you for bout' 4 years, and suddenly that started to – Meaning not talking to you, at all. Well, um… I really don't know what else to type down here so I'll thank you reviewers. =D
