Prologue
'Star light, shine tonight,Lead me towards the way.
Let my hopes and wishes come true,
Please do not lead me astray.
One day I would like a prince,
Someone who will love me for me.
He will hold my hand, as we dance,
Give me exactly what I need.
He will cherish me because I am special to him,
Be there for me whenever I desire.
He will understand my every need,
And never hurt me.
Star light, shine tonight,
Lead me towards the way.
I will be his princess,
And he will be my prince.'
Lily Evans carefully closed the tattered black book that lay perched before her. It was her favourite book, 'Poems of Love', everyday she would flicker to page twenty-three, and there would lay her most loved poem, 'Star Light'. Lily poured all her hopes and dreams into this poem, she wished that one day she would find her prince- someone who would cherish her.
She impatiently shook her head, making her thick auburn hair bounce gently below her shoulders. One of the things that enriched Lily from others was her brilliant scarlet locks, and of course her eyes, the brightest of emeralds. She placed the book carefully into an opened half-filled suitcase, as she was supposed to be packing for tomorrow, the beginning of her seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Lily took a second to contemplate about what her seventh year would be like. As always, she would be extremely pleased to see her friends again. Lily would be even pleased to take part in her lessons again, just to be there would be great. She had even become Head Girl and took great pride in pinning her gold badge upon her Gryffindor robes. Lily didn't at all hate her home, or feel derisive against it, certainly not, she just wished that maybe her mother would be there with her, too. Or maybe her older sister, Petunia, would show a tiny bit of respect towards her, and not think that she was a freak because she was the only witch in the family.
She sighed, hastily brushing away a wavering claret strand from her view, and with a reasonable amount of force slammed her suitcase shut.
