Chapter 2 Lily's Point of View
Lily stormed out of Flourish & Blotts clutching her many books to her chest. Really, I've never met someone so arrogant. She made her way, angerily, torward the Leaky Couldron where her parents, tierd of waiting for their bookworm of a daughter, had promised to meet her here.
Lily Evans was a pretty muggle-born girl with lovely golden red hair and emerald coloured eyes.Lily Evans also had a very big temper which sometimes could get the better of her and she was'nt about to forgive that black-haired boy anytime soon. She'd have to remember to ask Sirius later, about who the boy was. Sirius Black came from a wizarding family that lived nearby her house. Never before had she known where Sirius's house was but when she found out that she was a witch, from a letter from Hogwarts, Sirius explained the charms his parents had placed on his house. Sirius Black was one of Lily's good friends, but her best friend was his cousin Andromeda; Addie for short.
In all her fury, as she weaved in and out the many witchs and wizards, she almost tripped into a pale boy with longish light brown hair that was kneeling on the cobblestone picking up various quills and books he must have dropped.The boy looked up and she saw he had chocolate brown eyes.
"Oh, umm you need some help." Lily asked, but before he answered she was already on her knees picking up his books as she sat hers in a neat pile beside her.The boy quietly thanked her and said his name was Remus Lupin.
"Knocking people down again Evans?" A drawing voice said behind her. She stood and whirled around, forgetting about Remus and his books. She scowled as she faced a grinning Sirius Black and his new friend.
"Lily, this is Potter, James Potter... I think you've already met before." he said with a laugh. Lily did'nt know what to say and she was angry anyway so she just said goodbye to Remus and picked her books up and made her way to the Leaky Couldron, steamed.
The days passed slowly for Lily until September the 1st. She read her school books from cover to cover and delighted in her new pet. Starfire was her new owl, and she loved to send Star on short trips with letters to Sirius and Addie.
September 1st dawned muggy and warm but with the scent of rain on the wind. Her parents had dropped her off at Kings Cross Station and Addie had came along with Lily. Sirius was off somewhere with his two best friends, Remus and Potter.
"Yes, thats how you do it. Just walk staight into the barrier between platfrom 9 and 10." I looked at Addie doubtfully. "Here watch me." And Addie with her trolley in tow, ran torwards the barrier and then suddenly disappeared. Lily gathered all of her courage, and with eyes closed ran into the barrier waiting for the crash, but it did'nt come. She opened her eyes to see students and parents all milling around a scarlet steam engine with the words Hogwarts Express, written in gold on the side.
The whistle on the train blew and Lily hurried off torwards the train to board and find Addie. Addie joined just as she was lifting her trunk and letting a surpisingly calm Star out of her cage so she could perch on Lily's shoulder so Lily would'nt accidently drop Star while she was in her cage. Addie looked surprised at Star's loyalty and tameness but only said,
"Come on or we won't get a compartment." Lily and Addie made their way down the isle passing full compartments.Finally when they reached the end of the train and thinking they'd never find a compartment their was one with only a girl in it. The girl had pale blond hair and was reading a book and looked up as Addie and Lily filed in.
"Can we sit in here? All of the other compartments are full." The girl nodded and helped Tonks and Lily put their trunks on the rack.
"Hi, I'm Becca Roselyn." Lily and Addie introduced themselves and Becca who was obviously very talkative went on,
"Have you seen the most cutest boys on the train yet. The are practically to die for! And their friend is cute and so sorrowful looking up just want to hug him all the time, not that I would mind..." and she giggled.
"So," I asked her not really caring, "What are the boy's names?"
"Ohh, Sirius Black and James Potter...And their friend Remus Lupin!" She said with another giggle.Addie and I looked at each other and decided if the girl was to be our friend she must get over James Potter, I really did'nt mind but I disliked Potter wholeheartedly and I would need friends to help plan my revenge on him.
The rest of the train ride pasted without much event and finally when the reached Hogwarts if was dark and just starting to rain.Lily,Addie and Becca left their trunks and owls ( except Becca who had no owl because she had a kitten), their luggage who be taken up to the castle later.
Lily gazed in awe up at the huge castle, until a voice from behind he made her turn,
"Firs' years this way." said a huge man who could have been a gaint.
He led them to a small army of boats on a large liguid black lake. "No mor'n four to a boat."
Lily,Addie and Becca trouped into a small boat and when all of the first years when in, the boats made their slow procession acroos the wide lake.It was slightly chilly and the rain that was patering down steadily on them was cold. After a few minutes someone leaning over a boat by them caught Lily's eye and there was Potter quietly learing leaning over his boat and getting ready to pull a boy off his boat and into the lake, before Lily could say a thing Potter had pushed the boy off of the boat in front of him and the boy was in the water thrashing by Lily's boat whil Potter and his friends were laughing.
Lily leaned over the side of her shaky boat and reached out to the boy whom seemed not to know how to swim.
And before Lily knew what was happening the boy had accidently pulled her in after him.The water was cold and as she swam to the top for air she thought she felt something slimy brush her leg.As she gasped for breathe she sam Potter and Black laughing their heads off with tears rolling down their faces.The boats had stopped and Hagrid who was nearby was helping Severus Snape into his boat.Lily was so mad and before she swam back to her boat she would get her revenge.She dove back under the water trying not think about what had brushed her leg, Potters boat was right above her head now.
She paused for a moment not really wanting to dump Remus into the water, but shrugged as she remebered Potter's face.And with a mighty shove, Remus,Black and Potter were enjoying the icy swim as they thrashed and started swimming torward their up heaved boat as Potter turned and glared daggars at Lily who was smiling and all of the first years broke into caeus and Hagid who was shouting for quiet and clam reached down into the water and pulled Lily and the other three up by the necks of their robes and sat them dripping into th boat.He signalled for the boats to continue and with a heavy heart Lily made her way torwards Hogwarts as she and Potter looked at each other with pure hatred.

Authors Note: Hehe sorry, when I first wrote this series I had Tonks as Lily's friend, then I switched to Andromeda Black, Sirius's favorite cousin and Tonk's mother. In the first two chapters I must have missed some of the mistakes.... Any way I changed this because Andromeda would most likely be 10 years older than Black and Tonks 10 years younger.... So it is more likely Andromeda (Addie for Short) would befriend Lily. Thanks for encouragment from everyone!!! The next chapters will be out this weekend!!
