Lily was walking down her street. She knew it all too well; after all she had probably walked it almost everyday of her life. Anyway, she walked down the street; passed Mrs. Johansson's, past the Carson's and then she came to a house she knew only too well.
She turned and walked up the little path towards the house. When she made it all the way up, she opened the familiar red door, and walked up the stairs.
"Hello Lily," a voice said from behind her. She was now in his room.
"Bobby," Lily whispered. She was so nervous. She had known him forever, Bobby Nelson. Her mom had been friends with his mother for years, so she had spent a lot of time with him, but secretly, she loved him. She had had a crush on him since she was seven, and only Felicia knew that.
"What's this –" Lily started, but Bobby cut her off with a kiss. It was passionate, but delicate. Lily reached up and entangled her fingers in his blonde hair.
"I love y—"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Lily what the heck is wrong?" Felicia asked sleepily. Lily went to look over at her, but all she saw was her bed. She looked up a bit and saw that she had fallen out of bed, which explains her scream.
"Just had a dream. A good one at that, and then I had to fall and end it," Lily complained as she climbed back into bed. Her watch only read 5:48.
"Go back to bed Lils," Felicia said before rolling over.
"Easy for her to say," Lily mumbled. She decided to write in her new Diary, after all that was what it was for.
She opened up to the first page and began to write:
Dear Diary,
This is Lily! My old Diary kinda fell apart, so here I am. Anyway, I just had this dream about Bobby Nelson. I've known him forever, but I have this HUGE crush on him. But every year he goes away to this dumb boarding school, maybe by the time I get home from Hogwarts, he'll be back. Oh he is so cute! I miss him so much, I mean I know he's a year older than me, but I don't mind that.
Well, I'm going to go downstairs to see if anyone's up yet.
Bye! I'll write back soon!
Lily
Lily closed her little pink book, and began to creep across the room. She gently opened the door, and continued down the steps. But half way down, she heard something, and stopped.
She assumed it was nothing, and continued down, but stopped once again when she saw a shadow in the common room.
"Who's there?" someone said from the common room. Lily cautiously walked down the remaining three steps.
"It's just me, Lily," she said innocently.
"Oh, the first year, come on. I don't bite," the person said.
Lily walked into the room, and was relieved to see Danielle sitting there with a book, On The Beach, By Neville Shute.
"Oh, hello again," Lily said taking the seat next to her.
"What are you doing up so early?" Danielle asked looking up from her book.
"Oh, I fell out of bed, and then couldn't get back to sleep," Lily replied looking into the fire.
"Oh, am I interrupting anything?" a voice said from the stairway.
"No, we're just having a little party at five of six in the morning," Danielle replied knowing exactly who it was.
A moment later, Nicky took a seat across from Danielle, and Lily.
"So, do you really have to live with James? I mean that seems like a cruel and unusual punishment," Lily asked Nicky. Nicky just smiled at this looking around.
"Would you believe I'm the reason he's like that?" Nicky laughed.
"How?" Lily asked in amazement. Danielle had heard this story so many times she could probably recite the whole story, so she just kept reading her book.
"Well when he was about six, he had this weird obsession with dark arts, so I took is fascination from that, and put it towards pranks," Nicky continued.
"Wow, but I have to say, I guess I'd rather have this James than a Slytherin version of him," Lily said with a bit of a laugh, but she still thought it was a bit weird.
"You obviously haven't been on the receiving end of one of his pranks yet have you?" Danielle asked not looking up from her book.
"Uh, no. I've just seen the really annoying obnoxious version of him," Lily said.
"Well be warned, you may wish for the Slytherin James after one of his and Sirius' pranks," Danielle warned.
"Ok," Lily said still not really believing them. She thought they were just trying to scare her. Oh how wrong she was.
"I think I'm going to go take a shower, before everyone gets up," Lily said and walked up to her room.
"You think she believed me?" Nicky asked once she was sure Lily was up the stairs.
"Nah, No one does. Why do you still tell that ridiculous story about James and dark arts?" Danielle asked still not looking up from her book.
"Lily! Hurry Up in there!" Jem Carson yelled. Lily had been in the shower for almost an hour, and Jem still wasn't even ready.
"She never takes this long. She must be thinking about something," Felicia stated.
"Or someone," Jen Chang added with a smile. She was brushing her long black hair, and attempting to pull it into a high ponytail.
"Shut it!" Felicia said and through her pillow at Jen. Causing Jen's already messed up hair to get even worse. Then there was Felicia who had been trying to make her bed for the last ten minutes, with no prevail whatsoever.
"Lily!" Jem yelled again, but then the door opened and out walked Lily calm as can be.
"What's all the commotion about?" Lily asked as she towel dried her messy hair.
Jem just snorted and took to the bathroom.
"Where's my skirt?" Jen asked and began digging through her trunk.
After Felicia finally got done her bed, and both she and Lily were ready, the two began down to breakfast.
"Err, do we know which way the Great Hall is?" Lily asked once they were out of the common room.
"That way," the Picture of the Fat Lady told them pointing down the hall.
"Thanks," Felicia said and began to run down the hall. Because Lily had taken so long, Felicia was worried they would miss breakfast.
"Now where?" Lily asked looking around. Too bad they had to run into of all people, Ricky. He was a second year Gryffindor, but he loved causing trouble.
"You see, you go all the way down to the end of that hall, stand on your head, spin around three times, and then hop up and down five times," he said.
"We didn't have to do that last night," Felicia said looking at him cautiously.
"Well, before you got there, Professor Minnie, McGonnagal had to do it, and what a funny sight that was!" Ricky said with a laugh.
"Well if it gets us to breakfast, let's do it," Felicia said.
"Ricky! I can't believe you did that again!" came Danielle's irritated voice.
"But-I-couldn't-resist!" Ricky said in between laughs.
Lily and Felicia just stood there dumbfounded.
"Alright! That makes the fifth time this morning!" James yelled. He had been standing a little farther back than Ricky, along with Sirius.
"You did it five times!" Danielle yelled, "I should turn you in!"
"Oh Goody! More for my detention record!" Ricky said with a smile.
"Detention record?" Sirius questioned with a glint in his dark eyes.
"Oh yea, I'm trying to beat the all around detention record set in 1892 by Kenneth Martin himself," Ricky said with a smile.
"Wow, how many you got so far?" James asked in awe.
"231," Ricky replied with a slight grin.
"You say that like your proud," Danielle lectured.
"That's cause I am," Ricky replied with an even bigger smile.
"You are so infuriating," Danielle said and stormed off. Lily and Felicia looked at each other, and then followed after her.
"I will never understand her," Sirius said with a laugh.
"Yes you will, it just takes time," Ricky said and walked off to the real Great Hall.
"Carly! Over here!" Danielle yelled. She, Nicky, Felicia, and Lily were sitting at the end of Gryffindor table, waiting for the mail to arrive. Danielle had calmed down a bit, and was waiting for Carly to come over.
"Alright, calm down," Carly said as she took a seat next to Felicia.
"So what's shaken'?" Carly asked. She was a little goofy in the morning, but after being up for about an hour, she was fine.
"Nothing," Nicky replied. Lily and Felicia were taking a good look around the Great Hall. There was a shy looking girl with bright blue hair, there were a bunch of mean looking students over at the Slytherin table and--
"Hey Lily, doesn't he look familiar?" Felicia said pointing to a boy with blonde hair and icy blue eyes.
"Oh my god, you don't think it's—" Lily started.
"—It's Bobby!" Felicia yelled out.
"Who's Bobby?" Nicky asked looking around.
"That boy over there," Felicia said.
"Oh yeah, Bobby Nelson," Carly said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"You know him?" Felicia asked.
"Yea, he's a second year too, only he's in Ravenclaw with me," Carly replied.
"How do you know him?" Danielle asked.
"Well," Lily started and went into the short story, purposely leaving out the part about her crush.
"So you like him," Danielle accused.
"What? I never said that," Lily yelled.
"But you were thinking it," Nicky said with a smile.
"I was not!" Lily yelled.
"Hey Bobby!" Carly yelled. He turned around and after he saw who called him, he walked over to the table.
"What do you want?" he asked as he got closer.
"You know her?" Carly said motioning to the red head.
"Oh, Hey Lils!" Bobby said, "What are you doing here? You're a witch? Who knew?"
"Hey Bobby," Lily said shakily.
"Ok, Class. The potion should be almost done," Professor Casey said. She was a woman of about 23 with flowing blonde hair. She had to be the nicest teacher at Hogwarts. She would let almost anyone off of a punishment, and hardly ever gave out detentions. Unless of course they had something to do with emotions. That how Ricky got about 50 of his detentions, from upsetting students in front of her.
Of course this class wasn't exactly ordinary. It was a mix of First and Second Years Gryffindor and Slytherin. They were all working in pairs. There was Lily and Felicia, Danielle and Nicky, James and Sirius, Remus and some other boy, and Severus Snape working along the side of a second year Slytherin by the name of Laurren Moore.
Anyway, the class was working on a simple sleeping potion, which according to the directions should be glowing purple. Across the dungeon many shades of purple could be seen, along with a bright yellow.
"Ms. Moore, what happened?" Professor Casey asked Laurren.
"I don't know, I could have sworn I did it right, oh I'm just no good at this," Laurren rambled on before starting to cry over her yellow potion.
"There, there maybe Mr. Snape accidentally dropped something," Casey suggested.
"I did no such thing!" Snape yelled out.
"Detention, for upsetting a poor student," Casey said, "Class dismissed."
"Laurren dear, would like you some tea?"
"Sure Professor," Laurren managed to say in between imaginary sniffles.
"Can you believe her?" Danielle whispered to Nicky as they walked out of the class.
"She is such a fake, and it's a shame poor Snape had detention for nothing," Nicky replied.
"Do you know that girl?" Lily asked as she and Felicia came up behind the older girls.
"Ren? Oh yeah," Danielle replied with a bit of bitterness in her voice.
"Let's just get to lunch," Nicky replied and steered the group towards the Great Hall.
After they had eaten, Lily realized she didn't have her Transfiguration book, and that was her next class. So she headed back to the Common Room alone. Little did she know someone was following her.
"On her way back, we'll get her."
Lily ran up to her dormitory, and began looking for her book.
"It's around here somewhere," she mumbled to herself as she went through her trunk.
Once she finally managed to find her book, she left her dormitory and made her way down to the common room.
She walked out the portrait hole, and began walking down the hallway. She was about to turn the corner when something hit her in the back of the head. She turned around and saw that a crumpled up piece of paper lay on the floor.
She looked around to see who had thrown it. But as she turned around, another one hit her in the back of the head. She turned around quickly, but once again saw no one.
She continued down the hallway, but after a bit, more and more crumpled paper began coming. Apparently someone had bewitched them to follow her around and hit her over and over again.
Lily, very upset that someone would do this, ran towards the Great Hall hoping that Danielle and Nicky were still there.
But, of course, why would they be there when she needed them. So she started towards the Transfiguration room.. Perhaps Professor McGonnagal would help her.
"Professor," she started trying to hold back the tears, "Someone charmed these to hit me."
"My, my not having a good day are we?" The professor said and stopped the paper balls. Lily looked at her, and then made her way to her seat. On her way she couldn't help but notice two particular boys high fivng at the look on her face.
After class, Lily went out to sit by the lake. She sat under a huge oak right by the edge of the water. She took out her bright pink diary and began to write again.
Dear Diary,
It's just me again. Today after lunch, I went back to the dorm to get my Transfiguration book, and "someone" bewitched all these crumpled up papers to fly at me. I was so upset, and then after Professor McGonnagal helped me, I saw Black and Potter giving each other high-fives. I can't believe them, but then again they look up to this second year, Ricky I think his name is. He's even worse than the two of them. But these two older girls, Danielle and Nicky seem to be really nice. They help me and Felicia out a lot, and Danielle seems to like yelling at Ricky for his dumb ideas.
Well someone seems to be coming over to me, so I'm going to go now, I'll write back later.
Lily
"Oh, I'm sorry, it's just that my sister always told me about this little spot. I didn't mean to interrupt or anything," a girl with dark brown hair, and light brown eyes asked. Lily recognized her from the sorting the previous night, but couldn't remember her name.
"Oh, no it's ok," Lily replied, "I'm Lily. What's your name?"
"I'm Evelyn, I think you know my sister, Danielle," the girl replied and took a seat next to Lily.
"Oh, yea She's nice," Lily replied trying to make conversation, "What house are you in?"
"I'm in Hufflepuff. I wanted to be in Gryffindor like my sister, but instead I'm in stupid Hufflepuff."
"Well, Hufflepuff isn't that bad. You could have ended up in Slytherin," Lily said trying to stay on the bright side.
"Yeah, if you say so," Evelyn said looking at the lake.
