The Love Story Of Lily and James Potter
Chapter 1: To Hogwarts We All Go
Lily Evans waved as her parents walked back through the barrier and into Kings Cross Station. Her heart gave a flutter of nervousness as she watched them disappear.
She was on her own now. She was off about to start on a wonderful journey in to the world of magic. A world she never knew existed until a month ago when a letter delivered by an owl told her that she had been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Her parents had been shocked at first but soon joined in their youngest daughter's joy. Their oldest daughter however thought her younger sister was a freak and had refused to speak to her.
Lily was hurt that her older sister and role model thought such horrid things about her but she decided to give her some time to sort out her feelings. For now she would concentrate on her schooling.
Lily looked around the station, all around kids were saying goodbye to their parents and catching up with old friends. She looked at her watch and saw that the time was 10:35am. She decided to get a seat on the train before it filled up so she turned and began to lift her trunk off the ground.
This got her nowhere as the trunk weighed almost a much as she did. Just then a tall, dark haired figure came and picked up her trunk in one arm with one swift, easy motion.
The boy headed to the train with a shocked Lily running at his heals.
They found a compartment and the boy stored her trunk in the luggage space. He turned to the baffled red head, held out his hand, and said "Hello my name is James Potter and may I ask the name of the stunning creature standing before me?"
Lily giggled and said "My name is Lily Evans, thank you so much for helping me with my trunk."
"Think nothing of it, I love helping damsels in distress," said James "in fact, it's my favorite hobby."
"Oh really?" laughed Lily with a fake pout "and here I thought I was special..."
Just then the compartment door opened and a boy with greasy black hair and a long hooked nose stepped into the room.
James turned and when he saw the boy he yelled "GET OUT OF HERE SNIVELLUS! I TOLD YOU I NEVER WANTED TO SEE YOUR FILTHY FACE AGAIN!" with that he punched the boy on the nose.
Lily grabbed James' arm and ran to help the boy. "You bully" she screamed at James "what did he ever do to you?"
"Plenty" he said and started making his way out the door.
"I was really wrong about you" Lily cried as James walked out the door "I can't stand bullies and I can't stand you! You are an arrogant fool!"
The greasy haired boy got up, glared at Lily and walked out the door after James.
Lily took a seat near the window and waited for the train to depart thinking, what a horrible judge of character I am but, he was so cute... A knock on the door made Lily come back to reality.
"Come in" Lily called
"Thanks" said the raven haired girl "I thought I would never find a place to sit! My name is Kali Ryan."
"I'm Lily Evans, this is my first year at Hogwarts and I am so excited."
"Yeah this is going to be my first year too... I really want to get into Gryffindor, that's my dad's old house, my mom came from Ravenclaw but they are too studious and I don't have the attention span."
"I'm sorry but I don't have a clue about what you are talking about" said a confused Lily.
"Oh, so you are a muggle then?"
"A what?"
"A non magic person"
"Yeah I guess that is what I would be"
"Well," began Kali, "Hogwarts has four houses and each house has a trademark. Gryffindor is bravery, Ravenclaw is brains, Slytherine is for those who are ambitious, and Hufflepuffs are those who don't fit into any of the other categories."
"Oh I think I get it now" said Lily
"Do you want to play a game of exploding snap?"
"Huh?"
"Oh my dear Lily, I have so much to teach you."
