Opposites Eventually Attract

Chapter 1: Ups & Downs

Lily Potter smiled happily at her new born son, Harry Potter. Nothing in the world was dearer to her than the little boy with her eyes and her husband's jet black hair. It was the first time she took him home from St. Mungoe's. The newest Wizarding research showed that talking and gesturing towards a baby helps it to become logical and thoughtful later in their life.

Lily, now twenty-five was happily married to the love of her life, James Potter. They studied together at Hogwarts. Lily would never have imagined getting married to someone like James Potter.

Lily was a muggle- born and James was a pure blood. He didn't care. He never wanted anything more than the stubborn Lily Evans.

"Harry, I think you should know the story of our life," smiled Lily, cradling Harry in her lap, "This is how it began."

Since that night, Lily told her child the adventures at Hogwarts with James and being a muggle-born.

"Lily, mail's here!" cried her older sister, Petunia. When they were young Petunia and Lily used to be the best of friends. They used to go everywhere and do everything together.

Lily was interested in science and studying. That didn't stop her from reading stories about fairies and witches in distant lands. She especially liked stories about lady witches that changed their life and the lives of their people for the better.

Petunia kept on insisting that there was no such thing as magic, Lily gave no mind to her. Even when she was old enough, her friends used to laugh at her for believing in wands, wizards and witches.

Petunia loved to be the mature one, she always told her off about pretending to do magic. At that time, Petunia would do anything for her sister and she thought she was protecting Lily from the evil if it actually existed. The truth was that Petunia wasn't sure. She forced herself to believe and always shut herself from the games kids played. She would stay inside and help her mother out, finish her homework or she would be cleaning her room. That didn't stop her from spending time with Lily who loved the outdoors. Lily was a real risk taker.

Lily ran downstairs when Petunia called again informing her about the mail she got. She had a postcard from one of her friends who was on holiday in California. Lily had a lot of friends but she could be poison to people she disliked.

Another letter was from her school, telling her parents about her excellent results. Another letter looked very unfamiliar. (A/N: Of course, everyone knows what it is) It was sealed crimson wax with a crest with an "H" in the middle.

She looked at it uncertainly. It was definitely directed to her. It even had the address to her bedroom which was strange. This was probably someone's idea of a joke, which was definitely not funny.

She opened it and read it thoroughly.

Dear Miss Evans,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You shall be attending first year. You are expected to collect the books on the following page to begin. The Hogwarts Express will leave at 11:00 am sharp on September 1st in London. Platforn 9 ¾. First year students will be enrolled as soon as they arrive in to one of the four houses: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Hupplepuff. As a notice, Hogwarts students are allowed to keep the following pets: toads, owls, cats and rats. Please remember to arrive on time.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore

Lily was surprised. Maybe it's some advertisement for a new fiction book. Lily was now eleven and quite intelligent for her age.

Her mother, Susan saw her reading something so thoroughly.

"What is it dear?" she asked sweetly, Lily's mother had always been very supportive of her and her decisions.

Lily showed her the letter and Susan dropped the crystal tray full of fresh fruit that she was holding. She hadn't even noticed she dropped it.

"Honey, I had no idea. Oh my god! I'm so happy for you. I never made it, your grandfather was one too. He went to Hogwarts but he married my mom who was a muggle and you're a witch. I can't believe it! I have to tell Henry," replied her mother, she was jumping up and down. She had never seen her mother so excited. She had no idea what was going on but she knew it was a good thing.

Susan's husband, Henry knew about her family's Wizarding history before they were married. He accepted it as Susan did his. He had been introduced to many witches and wizards and developed a fascination towards them.

That night, Susan told Henry while Lily was in bed. Henry was overjoyed. Both of them felt like the luckiest parents in the world. Lily thought about it and she realized that she was a witch!

Petunia will have to believe me, she thought. I would love to learn magic and live among others like me.

The next morning, her parents took her shopping at Diagon Alley. Petunia was disgusted. Her sister was a freak and she wanted nothing to do with her. After that day, Petunia put on a different face. She was anything but happy for her younger sister. The fact was that she was jealous. She always had the attention of her parents now she felt like she was being ignored.

She bought all her books and she couldn't wait to read them. Just as soon as she thought it was time to go, Susan told her about a wand. They were ten metres away from the store when she spotted a bunch of kids her age, laughing around in a circle. The most prominent one had messy jet black hair. It seemed like they were planning something. Lily ignored them. She disliked him at first glance.

After she bought her wand, she headed home.

One week later...

"Honey, remember to use Elizabeth to send us your letters and postcards," said Lily's father with tears in his eyes. Elizabeth was the owl her parents bought her. They were standing in front of the train saying their good-byes to their youngest daughter.

Lily hugged her father and then her mother. As soon as Lily was about to hug Petunia, she backed away and whispered, "Just because we lived under the same roof doesn't mean we're friends. I want nothing to do with you freak."

Her parents had not heard that. Nothing had ever sounded more venomous than those words which spilled from one of the people she loved most.

With tears in her eyes, she boarded the train. She sat alone until a confused girl walked in. Lily always tried to be strong even in situations when the strongest of strong would melt. She saw her come in and gave her a small smile.

"Hey, I'm lost. This is the first year compartment, right?" she asked.

"I have no idea. I didn't even know I was a witch until two weeks ago. By the way, my name is Lily Evans."

"I'm Sandy Thomas. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. This is so cool!!"

Lily knew that Sandy could easily get very hyper. She was cool though and very easy to talk to.

The train ride passed almost instantly with her first witch friend. Sandy lived in a muggle city and knew all the newest muggle inventions, songs and shows which made it her really easy to make conversation with.

The train pulled over and students began to exit. Lily and Sandy did the same.

A big, tall man was calling the students towards him and boarding them onto boats across the lake to Hogwarts. The boat ride felt longer than the train ride for Lily.

Lily was astonished when she saw talking pictures and ghosts floating around. A professor was talking to them outside the door to what looked like the Great Hall.

She was telling them to behave as proper witches and wizards. The professor was quite young and very pretty but strict at the same time. She had square spectacles and a point Wizarding hat. She introduced herself as Professor McGonagall. This was her first year teaching at Hogwarts, she was also the head of something called Gryffindor.

As the doors opened, Lily's mouth fell. There was no roof! Oh my gosh! What if it rains?! Wizards are actually dumber than normal people!

Sandy saw her staring and told her it's enchanted.

"I knew that. Well, wizards are obviously smarter than what did you call them? Muggles! This is so cool!!!!" Lily hated it when people caught her off guard. She hated to admit defeat.

She actually understood the sorting ceremony. Sandy was sorted into Gryffindor which was where she wanted to go. She really liked Sandy.

When it was her turn, she sat on the tripod and she heard thoughts in her head.

"Well, this one is tough... Definitely not Hufflepuff or Slytherin... With those brains you could be in Ravenclaw. But... yes..."

Suddenly the hat screamed on her head, causing her to jump out of her skin and trip on her robe. She held her head high. "Gryffindor!"

She was so happy as she ran to take a seat next to Sandy. The Gryffindors applauded which really welcomed her.

Across from them, Lily saw a messy black haired boy which she recognized from in front of Ollivander's. She didn't like him. She didn't like it any better when he saw her looking at him and winked. Lily's blood was boiling. She had the famous Evans' temper from her father's side. Her mother was very sweet but when she got angry, everyone should keep their distance.

"Hey. My name's James. I think I've seen you somewhere before. Diagon Alley, right? We were just laughing at that guy who's on the tripod. He's definitely a Slytherin."

Professor McGonagall read his name off the roll of parchment in her hand.

"Severus Snape," shouted the professor.

As soon as the hat was placed on his head, it shouted "Slytherin!"

"What did I tell you?" James asked Lily, "Anyways he'll be a good one. Right, Sirius?"

"Yup," he said, a person Lily hadn't noticed until he spoke.

Sirius and James were best friends since they were in pre-school.

Lily even though she was only eleven had many boys showing interest in her in some way or the other. Some offered to walk her to class or home, offer her their lunches, stationary, etc.

Suddenly, after every student was sorted, food magically appeared on the table. Delicious, mouth watering food. Lily was starving.

Eventually a shy looking girl came up to her and Sandy asking, "Can I sit here?"

Lily and Sandy accepted. Her name was Jasmine White. She was really pretty and sweet. She looked shy and sensitive. But that was not the end to her. She was a very changing person. She would say something one day, the opposite the next. That was what made her so unique.

The three of them spent their break times and classes together. They were inseparable.
