A Rock

What would you do if your enemy was the one you fell in love with, accidentally with a quill, a parchment and a rock?


Lily's POV

I opened my eyes, surprised to see through my window that it was still kind of dark. I stood up, scratched my head, tangling my auburn locks and yawned. I looked around and seeing that my dorm mates were still sleeping, I took this chance and crawled towards the bathroom trying my best not to make any sound so that I won't be able to wake them up. When I reached the bathroom, I sighed and proceeded to my morning check up. My red hair was quite ruffled, so I took a brush and began brushing my auburn locks which went down my shoulders. My almond shaped green orbs were still tired and looked as if it wanted to close. But of course, I had to wake up. My porcelain skin was quite clear until I saw a black mark on my shoulder. I gently touched it and it hurt. I had a lot of these before… I had 3 of these marks right now if you would just look very close to me. Disregarding this, I quickly turned around the mirror and began to take a bath.

After dressing up, I took my books, parchments and quills. I packed them inside my second hand backpack from my sister… I looked at the window and saw that the sun is just about to rise… I always love sunrise. It always calms my mood. I mean, just seeing the bright sun about to dawn on earth, it makes me sublimely happy.

I got out of the dormitory room, the Gryffindor common room, and soon enough out of the Hogwarts castle. I went directly near the lake and sat under a tree. I stared at the waters of the lake which sparkled magnificently because of the sunlight. I smiled while touching the soft grass around me. I have always loved the nature since I was a kid. But speaking of my childhood, I remembered my family, and it wasn't a really pleasant thought once you think about it.

When I was still a child, my parents always gave me everything that I wanted… which caused my older sister, Petunia to hate me. Ever since, she would always find a way to get me into trouble and even sometimes, hurt me. But I never argued because I know the reason why she hates me like that. She would always hide me inside the closet whenever my parents would go home from shopping and whatever they bought for me would be hers. She would always ruin my favorite books and toys… but I never said a word to my parents about how she treats me. There came one day in which Petunia had over done it. Because of her I no longer had friends starting grade 4 because whenever she sees someone hanging with me, she would give the person an ultimatum. I cried every night because of her. I began to feel that it wasn't fair anymore, I couldn't hold it anymore. I spilled the beans to my parents. They punished Petunia a lot… and I felt really guilty. After some time, my parents needed to go somewhere out of town which left me with my own wicked sister. She turned me into a slave. But I still kept my hopes up because I know my parents would go back home and protect me. But there came a day in which my mother called me and said that my father died in an airplane crash, even her voice was a little bit shaky. I cried while Petunia didn't care… I hated her for that. When I got a letter from Hogwarts, my mother didn't like the idea at first because after all…. she didn't want anyone from here family to die again. But I knew she knew that it was a chance of a lifetime and allowed me… I smiled because I get to learn magic, I smiled because there would be hope for me again, I smiled because I would get away from my sister.

I thought that I would have a new life in Hogwarts…but fate didn't want that to happen entirely. I still didn't have friends until now… only one. She's Alice by the way. She's a very nice girl and she really understands me. My years in Hogwarts were really, um, let's say not cheery. Everyday, I could hear Slytherins telling me that blasted word. What's so nice about a mudblood anyway?

Suddenly I felt something cold rolling over my cheeks, and wiped away my tears and realized that the sun has now risen. No more crying for me right now, cause I'll be late. I took hold of my bag and ran towards Hogwarts.

While running, I fell head first. Ouch! If only you knew the feeling. I felt the pain running over my whole body. I stood up, still a bit dizzy, picked my things which was now all over the floor and fixed my robes.

"I'm very very sorry… I didn't notice you running"

I heard someone say from my back. I turned around and saw a boy, about sixteen (my age). He has chocolate hazel eyes, if only it was chocolate, it looked so brown. He had a very untidy hair and I noticed that it was not black. Instead, it was a really, really dark brown. Call me crazy, but he actually looks good.

"Umm, its okay… its my fault too.." I replied still picking up some of my books and looked at him afterwards. He ran a hand through his hair and I found it a little cute.

"Oh… I'm James by the way… James Potter" he held out a hand. I reached out my hand too.

"I'm Lily Eva…" but before I could finish, I felt electricity run through my hand. It was a real shock.

"Ah!" I screamed jumping a little while looking at my palm.

He just chuckled, then began laughing, then began laughing real hard.

"Still works-haha! Very funny-hahahaha!"

I rubbed my palm for a moment and glared at him with all hate I could muster. If I said he was cute, I stand corrected! He is such a prat! The biggest jerk alive! Suddenly, three boys about the same age as him came towards us.

The tallest almost looked like Potter, with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. Although his hair was shaggy and his eyes were a little lighter than James.

Another one looked really tired. He had sandy hair and blue eyes. If I didn't knew better, I'd say he's sick or something.

Then the other one, nothing special about him. It's just a little plump guy. He's a short

nobody.

"Whats the fuss about James?" The black haired guy asked putting his hand over James' shoulder.

"Oh guys you're here… Lily Evaaaans meet the marauders. Sirius black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew." He said still giggling pointing to the respective owner of the names.

I sighed and gave another evil look at James. He stopped and smiled at me. I turned my back against them and began to walk shouting "What a Jerk!"

Not long enough… I'm pretty sure I heard him shout too.

"What a Nerd!"

I couldn't believe those freaks! How dare they bully girls like us! We were meant to be respected! Ugh!

As I explained to Alice what happened early morning, she said that they were the Marauders. The known prankers in the whole Hogwarts. They were also the top bachelors in school. She even added that I was lucky enough to run over them. But for me, they are people who acts childish all the way trying to trick innocent people who just wants to go through each challenges called life. I bet they just want to get girls to bed for a one-night stand. Ugh! Talk about disgusting.

After a few classes, I was on my way to go to my last subject,potions. I hurriedly walked my way until the last thing I know was that no one else was around me. I got scared and began to run. I was lost… great… lost to a place in which I studied for about 5 years now. Suddenly I heard footsteps which cause my tense to go away. I sighed trying to see who it was.

A group of students about my age… wearing green was smiling towards me.

"Oh I see a mudblood on the way." Severus Snape said looking at me as if I was some kind of unwanted people around the world.

"Wanna know something guys… I despise muggle borns… they are like trying hard magicians." Said Bellatrix stepping towards me.

I was soo scared… I don't know what could happen… I'm one and they are like 3. A not so fair number.

"Let's just hope You-Know-Who would kill them all fast" Lucuis Malfoy hissed.

I felt the tears about to fall down. How come some students here are like them even though I'm not doing anything to them. I continued to back away as they were walking towards me pulling out their wands… they began to whisper something and I couldn't hear them.. they were waving their wands. I fell to the floor now crying… my things was scattered once again. I hear my heartbeat growing faster.

"BANG!"

There was a loud noise that made me close my ears and eyes. Suddenly smoke surrounded the surrounding. I heard the Slytherins coughing. I took my stuff fastly and began to run. I wanted to be alone for this moment.

James's POV

When Sirius through a stink bomb towards the Slytherins… we couldn't help but laugh. We heard them coughing. We showed up in front of them and just looked at them still smiling.

"Curse you Marauders!" Lucuis said still coughing.

"Thank you very much" Sirius said proudly. He raised his hand and acted like superman.

"You guys should have seen your faces" I said pointing towards them. I laughed then imitated their looks.

Sirius walked towards his cousin, Bellatrix. He looked at her for a moment as if about to say something serious for once, but suddenly, he stuck his tongue out.

"How childish, cousin of mines. How I wish we are not related." She said pulling Snape and Lucius away from us.

"Well that was fun" Peter said looking at them. Believe me, this guys worships us!

"Come on… Potions class here we come!" Sirius said marching on the other side of the hall… Remus and Peter followed. As I was about to, I stepped on something. I took it and looked at a necklace with a locket shaped heart. I stared at it for a moment… but then when I was just about to open it Sirius called me. I hid the necklace inside my pocket and ran towards them.

Lily's POV

I sat at the same tree early morning. I wiped away my tears. I hated myself! I hated my life! And worst of all… I hated being alone. I know I have Alice and thank God I have her, but sometimes, it's not enough. I still felt empty inside. I looked at the sky and tears just kept on flowing. I am so unwanted in this world. How come it's as if I was sent here just for others to play and hurt me?

I took out a piece of parchment and my quill. I began scribbling a few doodles then wrote what I was saying a while ago.

I HATE MY LIFE!

I folded it and put it under a piece of rock beside me. I cried for a moment and then decided that crying wouldn't do me good. I wiped them away and decided to go back to my dormitory. I really don't want to go to Potions right now.

…..

As I reached my bed, I threw myself towards it and cried myself to sleep.

Suddenly, I woke up because of I don't know. I washed my face and looked at my watch. Just in time for dinner since I'm hungry. I walked directly to the great hall and ate not talking to anyone since Alice wasn't there. She is probably with Frank, her boyfriend. Suddenly I felt that I needed to think things again. I went to the same tree outside the castle and stared at the moon. I smiled… my hands wandered around the grass beside me and suddenly I felt something… I looked at it and took it.. It was the same parchment I wrote on a few hours ago. I opened it, took out my wand and whispered Lumos.

Light began to form from the tip of my wand, I used it to read my parchment.

It says there what I wrote a while ago...

I HATE MY LIFE!

Suddenly… I was surprised when I saw scribbles underneath my writing that says…

How Come?
