Life, Love, and Lily

Chapter 1: Facing the Music

Disclaimer: I own the plot and the song. The rest is all J.K's.

You know, it's funny how true the quote : Expect the unexpected is. So I guess I should've seen this coming. Well, tomorrow is September 1. It's 9:30 PM. Thirteen hours and 30 minutes until I meet HIM. Ugh, I need to write something. I'm excited and afraid. I hate being nervous. And I hate that James Potter is causing all this trouble.

I Fell In Love With You

People are such frauds,

with so many things to hide,

and they put on their masks,

keepin' things bottled up inside.

They try so hard to think,

that there's nothin' wrong.

But the truth will come out,

sometime, in not so long.

Chorus

I thought everything was fine,

That my life was nice and true,

But then I was livin' a lie,

when I realized I loved you.

It hit me like cold water,

'cause your my long-had enemy,

but it was a surprise in a package,

wrapped and sent to me.

I saw you in my head,

I tried to say they were lies,

But my heart kept sayin' it was meant to be ,

from the moment I looked in your eyes . . .

(Chorus)

Now I'm down in deep,

Drowned in realization,

you were the one for me,

a magnificent creation.

(Chorus)

I really didn't want to,

I tried to say it wasn't true,

but my heart couldn't help it,

I fell, in love, with you___________

That. Was. Uncharacteristically. Corny. It's hard to believe I wrote it. It's 9:45. I need sleep. Good night.

Ugh, Petunia is a loud screamer. All I did was fill her room with dungbombs. Perfectly harmless. Yet she chooses to wake me up at 4:30 AM . I didn't know she woke up that early. Although it might be the putrid smell. I yawned. Oh, look there she is now. Ha ha. She's covered in them! Man, I wish I had a camera. Wait, I do.

"Good morning Petty. Why up so early?" I grinned sweetly. She was about to snarl something back when I grabbed the camera.

"You wouldn't." She hissed. I grinned.

"Or would I." Immediately I pressed the button. It's the end of her world as we know it!

"NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" She shrieked. I cackled and ran into the bathroom to take a shower.

I looked furiously through my closet. What to wear . . . Perfect! My blue flares, my white Tee with the blue sleeves that says BOYS in newspaper letters, and my 3 inch platforms with the wood heels and the denim twist! I let my curly blood red hair fall to my shoulders. I carefully applied my makeup. Hey, if your gonna look good, you should do it right!

"Lily! It's time to go!" My mother called up the stairs. It was a 3 hour drive because we lived out in the country. I took a deep breath. It was time to face the music.

I carefully stepped through the barrier. The red steam engine roared.

"Hey Lils!" I turned in the direction of the voice and grinned.

"Molly! Where's Bella?" Molly grinned slyly.

"Exploring closets with Sirius." I laughed.

"Well then! We shan't interrupt their 'expedition'! Let's go play a joke on the other three!" Really, I just wanted to see James.

I shifted uncomfortably as we walked into their compartment. James didn't give me a glance. He was concentrating on the chessboard. Remus grinned.

"Checkmate." He said with amusement at James crestfallen face. I laughed.

"You may attract girls, Potter, but you can't win a game of chess!" At this everyone laughed, including him. I was pleased.

"Well, Evans, I challenge you to a game of chess!" He said in mock-anger. I raised my eyebrows, my green eyes twinkling.

"Your on."

Hi everybody! How was it? Thanks to all the people who reviewed. Hope you enjoyed! Thanks!
