SO, ONTO THE STORY!
The months passed, and Lily and James remained the perfect couple. Every girl in school wanted to be friends with Lily- she was now on the arm of one of the most popular boys in school-making her popular. However, Lily befriended only two female friends; Izzy and Arabella, both in RavenClaw. Lily had seen them around school a few times, and found they now took her place as the school 'nobody'. So, Lily started to talk with them, hang out with them, and soon they became friends.
The seventh year was coming to a close. In three days time, everyone would be going home for the summer, but the seventh years weren't coming back. Lily and James had been looking for a flat to share for a few weeks, and once they left school, Lily was going to live with him at his parents house until they found a suitable flat. And there were jobs; James wanted to work as an aura. Lily wanted to be a healer. Neither was too happy with the others choice.
However, instead of being happy of being rid of school, a gloom hung over the seventh years. None of them wanted to leave.
Lily sat outside alone one evening (the next-to-last night) contemplating things. In her hand she held her beloved companion; Thing.
'Am I going with you?' Thing asked.
'I don't know. I have friends now,'
'I know. Am I still your friend?'
'Forever, Thing. I don't know what I would have done if hadn't found you in my first year,'
'Lily, you have friends. That means you don't need me any more,'
'I think…I don't want to leave you Thing. Your still my best friend,'
'Perhaps someone else can benefit from my friendship. Another first year?'
'No. They would turn you in,'
'True. Then what is to become of me?'
'Thing, I'm going to leave you behind. I want you to be found by someone who needs friends. Someone who perhaps already has friends, but needs someone they can tell their secrets to. Thing, I'm going to leave you in the seventh year female dorms. Only a smart person who needs to find you will find you. Only someone who you feel has a connection with me will find it.'
'What about my secrets? Your secrets?'
'My story may be told, and so may yours. Just not to a snobby Janice-like person,'
Thing chuckled.
'Got it.'
'Come on Thing, let's go pack,'
The last day flew by, and the seventh years got the after-noon off classes to pack and make sure everything was done. The common room was basically empty when the group walked in, but even when they entered it was still quiet.
The group? Sirius and Arabella; a new couple, popular and great together. Remus and Izzy; he had already told her about his monthly transformations, and now they were a very cute couple. Peter. (AN-Alone, just like the little bastard ought to be) And lastly, James, Lily and Thing. All were couples, all were in love, and none wanted to leave.
'Are we ever going to see each other again?' Izzy asked in a quiet voice.
'You shouldn't ask questions like that,' Lily said, leaning into James' shoulder on the couch.
'Are we though? Honestly?' Remus asked.
'Of course,' Sirius said cheerfully 'We're going to live next to each other!' Remus' eyes widened.
'I don't fancy that thank you very much. I don't want to be woken up every morning by some loud bang or whatever it is you do when your home alone…or even with Bella for that matter,'
'I'll miss this place,' Peter muttered.
'It's been fun,' Remus agreed.
'We've got good memories yeah,' Lily stated 'but surely we'll get new memories, of new places! Think about it, we're moving on, we're growing up! We're officially adults! Once out of school we can do whatever we like!'
'Except,' James said playfully 'get a new boyfriend. Isn't that right Lilykins?' James said, tickling Lily furiously.
'Ah! Stop!' Lily laughed, squirming around, batting his hands away.
'Awe, soon we'll get little James and Lily juniors!' Sirius cried, pretending to be one of those over-joyed parents every one of us is blessed (An-or cursed) with.
James through a cushion at him.
'As long as Lily junior comes first,' Lily muttered, just loud enough for everyone to hear.
'Oh no, James is first,'
'No! Lily can be the eldest then she can smack James every time he's naughty,'
Lily and James continued arguing like this until Sirius cleared his first.
'Actually guys, Whichever is first, it's still going to be Sirius junior!' Two cushions hit their target at once.
'And why would we name any kid of ours after you?'
'Because 1-I'm James' bestest bud,' James snorted and Sirius threw a pillow at him '2-You all know I'm such a sweet, honorable, lovely and handsome' 'yeah right' Lily muttered 'And 3- because I say so,'
'Yeah, yeah, yeah,'
'Come on, let's go get ready,' Bella said, standing up.
'What for?' Sirius asked, pulling her back down.
'The graduation, dimwit,'
'Oh, that thing,'
Lily sighed and stood up. Izzy and Bella left, heading for their own dormitories. What a night was ahead.
I can't do graduation thingys. I've never had one (I'm not older enough). I'm not even sure if we have them in England. Anyway, use your imagination, because I ain't gonna write one and make a fool of myself.
And so the morning of parting dawned, breakfast passed, tears were shed…then it became time for them to go get onto the carriages. There was only one thing left for Lily to do; leave Thing.
Lily dashed into her dormitory and quickly pulled Thing out of her pocket. Not a single light was on. Thing had turned itself off the night before, so it could sleep until new students arrived. Lily jotted down a quick note, then opened the first draw of her bedside table. She rooted around in the emptiness until she came across her pen-knife (AN-yes, she purposely left it so she would have an excuse to go back to her dormitory). She shut the draw and stood onto of her bed. Using the pen-knife, she ripped a gash in the material hanging from the top of the bed. (An-imagine it as a kind of board at the top of her bed which holds the frame up, and then it has material over it that hangs down to make a sort of sling that's attached at the edges to the board. Review if you have queries) She kissed Thing lightly, then stuffed the little black box and the note into the space inside. She sowed the material with her wand, jumped off her bed, and then ran downstairs.
The train left the station and as before, the gang shared just one compartment. While the others sat either asleep or reading, James decided to ask Lily something.
'Where's Thing?'
'I left it at school,'
'What?'
'Oh, don't worry, I meant to,'
'And I don't suppose you'd like to tell me why?'
'Naa,' Lily teased 'I'd rather sit here in silence while think so hard your brain actually learns something,'
'Haha,' the two sat in silence for a minute.
'Can ask me one more thing?'
'You just did, but shoot,'
'Where did you find Thing?'
'Ah, now isn't that an interesting story? Why do you want to know?'
'I'm just curious,'
'Let me see if I can remember…It was first year when it all began. I was apart of a group, who were trying to be 'cool'. I never really fitted in, but I needed friends. Then they tried to push me into doing stuff, which I plainly wouldn't do. Then, in second year, they left me. They said anyone without a boyfriend was un-cool, and because I had just turned down someone who was supposedly 'the hottest boy in school, I was un-cool,'
'Sirius,'
'Right. So I started writing everything in this little black book, which became more and more full as more and more people ignored me. I withdrew myself from the school population, and concentrated on my studies. Then for Christmas that year I got two Christmas presents. One from my family and one that was anonymous. The not simply read I think this will be more helpful then a little black book. It was a little black box; Thing. I thought it was useless, and treated it as though it were a prank. I threw it under my bed and left it there. Then, two days later, I began to hear a funny buzzing noise. Over the next few days it got louder, then it turned into a sort of muffled voice. Someone, or something, was reading aloud my diary! I kept my diary under my bed, so I reached down to grab it, but I pulled out Thing instead. It was flashing, and was still reading aloud extracts from my diary. Funny how something that started out as an annoying little box turned into my best friend,' Lily gave a chuckle 'I still wrote in my book, but not as often. Once every few days. Soon I had a collection of books, but most of my memories I told to Thing. I took all me diaries with me until this last year, and kept them under my bed.'
'Where are they now?'
'Err-…' Lily's eyes grew wider 'under my bed,' she said quietly. James laughed.
'And you have no idea who sent you Thing?'
'Of course I do!' Lily said smiling.
'Who then? I thought you said it didn't come with a note!'
'It didn't,'
'Then who…'
'Dumbledore,'
AND SO IT ENDS HERE! I'm going to re-do the summary as to get more readers, then get onto the sequel! Okay, now, it isn't up yet (heck, I've barely even started writing it, though the first chap may be up by the time you guys read this!) It is to be called
Dear diary…no wait, dear little black box
Funny name, huh? ANYWAY REVIEW THIS, AND WHEN IT COMES OUT, MY NEW ONE!
