Day 1: Meeting The Coach
September 2, 1975

After finishing their breakfast, Lily and Kylie headed for their first class of the day; Potions. Potions went by very slowly, and consisted of Slytherins sneering at them, and Professor Hyler docking House points away from the Gryffindors. Finally, an hour and a half later, the bell rang.

"That class is the worst," Kylie complained, as her and Lily made their way to Charms.

"Yea," Lily agreed. "And Professor Hyler is so unfair. Zable was the one that was causing all those cauldrons to explode, but instead he just takes points away from Gryffindor."

"If you want Lilykins we can prank ole Hyler for ya," James offered, suddenly appearing.

"You're Head Boy for heavens sake," Lily said. "You should not be pranking teachers."

"Oh, lighten up Lily," Sirius said. "What's the worst that can happen?"

"We could get detention or be expelled or loose our Head positions!" Lily exclaimed, terrified of the thought.

"Well, as you saw last night, detention isn't half bad," James said.

"Detention isn't supposed to be a reward for doing something wrong," Lily replied.

"Suite yourself Lils," Sirius said shrugging. "Me and James are going for a new detention record this year, and we would love to have someone as sexy as yourself to join us."

Lily rolled her eyes.

Finally reaching the Charms classroom, Lily and Kylie took their seat at a table near the middle of the room. When James came to sit behind them, Lily gave him a glare. "Potter I think you should go back your seat at the back of the room."

"But Lily," James whined sounding like a five year old that couldn't tie his shoes.

"I cannot get another detention," Lily said. "Now, go."

James reluctantly went to the back of the room and sat with Remus, Sirius, and Peter.

"Tough luck mate," Remus said.

"Yea, but I think I'm starting to grow on her," James said grinning.

"A few more detentions with you and she'll be yours forever," Sirius said.

"Oh, and Moony, you'll never guess what happened last night," James said excitedly.

Remus looked at Sirius. "Do I really wanna know?" he asked.

"I caught Lily smelling me," James replied.

"And why exactly was she smelling you?" Remus asked.

"Well, I put my arm around her and I started talking to Padfoot. Then when I turned to look at her I saw her sniffing me," James said, a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Maybe you smelt bad," Peter suggested.

James shot a glare at him. "James Potter does not smell bad," he said.

Peter just shrugged, and Remus and Sirius started laughing.

"I don't!" James exclaimed. "Here, smell." James shoved his arm under Remus and Sirius' noses. Remus and Sirius took a sniff.

"Jamesie I think I'm in love," Sirius said in a girlie voice.

"I think I might have to dump Amy for you," Remus said playing along.

"Ha, ha," James said. "As long as I know I smell good, that's all that matters."

"Why are you guys talking about how good you smell?" Lily asked. Lily had came their table, in need of asking James a question. When she heard what they were talking about, she couldn't help but listen.

"Hey Lils," James greeted. "Didn't see you standing there."

"We were just talking about how good James smells," Sirius said.

"I heard," Lily said looking at them weirdly.

"Well, do you think he smells good?" Sirius asked.

Lily shrugged. "I guess," she replied. "Anyway, I was just wondering when you wanted to patrol the halls."

"I can't tonight," James said. "But I'll take tomorrow."

Lily nodded. "I'll just give tonight to some of the prefects," she said. And with that, Lily headed back to her seat.

Just then, Professor Flitwick entered the room. "Good afternoon!" he squeaked. "Today we'll be learning about Warming Charms. Now..."

Professor Flitwick was interrupted by a knocking at the door.

"Come in!" Professor Flitwick said.

When the door opened, a tall woman with burgundy hair entered. She was wearing black robes and black boots. "Is there a Lily Evans here?" she asked, her voice deep and smooth.

Lily shot a nervous glance at Kylie.

"She's right over there," Professor Flitwick answered pointing.

"Can you come with me please?" the lady asked.

Lily gulped. The lady, whoever she was, looked rather foreboding. After gathering her books, Lily made her way over to the lady who led her into the hallway, shutting the Charms classroom door behind her.

"I'm Ava," the lady said, "and I'm your Made coach."

They don't waste any time assigning coaches, do they? Lily thought.

"So, tell me a little about yourself," Ava said, as they began walking down the deserted hallway.

"I'm Lily Evans," Lily started. "I was born in mid March. I have an older sister named Petunia, who doesn't like me very much. I've been going to Hogwarts ever since I was eleven, and I am now Head Girl."

Ava nodded her head, as if to que Lily to continue.

"And that's it," Lily said, starting to grow a little uncomfortable.

"Why do you want to me Made?" Ava asked.

"Because I'm tired of people seeing me as a goodie goodie that's too afraid to do anything," Lily answered.

"Do you know what you want to be Made into?" Ava questioned.

"I was thinking it would be cool to be a Chaser on the Quidditch team," Lily replied. "Tryouts are in a few weeks and I was thinking about trying out."

"Quidditch isn't something you just wake up one day and decide to try," Ava said. "It requires a lot of work, patience, and dedication. Can you handle all that?"

"I think so," Lily answered.

"How good are you on a broom?" Ava asked.

"Pretty good," Lily said. "I practiced a little over the summer."

"Well, Lily," Ava said. "We have a lot of work ahead of us. Meet me tomorrow after dinner on the Quidditch field."

Lily nodded.

"And it was nice meeting you," Ava said, giving Lily a smile.

"You too," Lily said.

Later that night, Lily was in the common room telling Kylie about her coach.

"Her name is Ava," Lily said. "At first she was rather scary, but I think she's gonna be a really great coach. She kept asking me all these questions."

"At least you didn't get some weird physco that always talks about elephants," Kylie said.

Lily laughed. "Yea, I guess that's the bright side."

"And you still didn't tell me what you're being Made into," Kylie said.

"You'll see," Lily replied.

"When?" Kylie pestered.

"Patience grasshopper," Lily said.

"I just hope Ava doesn't have you do anything crazy," Kylie said.

"What do you mean?" Lily asked.

"It always seems that the coaches always make their student to something crazy that in the end proves to be helpful," Kylie said.

When Lily looked confused, Kylie continued.

"Like one time, this guy wanted to be made into a rapper but he had no confidence. So, his coach gave him a dozen roses and made him hand them to random girls."

"You don't think Ava will make me do something like that, do you?" Lily asked slightly horrified.

Kylie shrugged. "If she does I'm sure it'll all be for the best. You could certainly use a guy in your life."

"That's what I keep telling her," James said suddenly appearing.

He sure has a way of appearing out of no where, Lily thought.

"Well, in that case I meant she needs an attractive, smart, funny guy in her life," Kylie said smiling sweetly.

"I'm bloody attractive, I'm smart...when I wanna be, and I'm real funny," James said, counting off the qualities off his fingers.

Lily rolled her eyes. "You think too highly of yourself Potter," she said.

James shrugged. "When you got the goods you can't help but brag a little," James said.

"And what makes you suitable for my lovely friend Lily?" Kylie asked, deciding to play along.

"Well," James started. "We're absolutely crazy about each other and plus she thinks I smell good."

"Oh, yes," Lily said seductively. "I'm totally madly in love with James Potter. I wake up every night screaming his name..."

James gulped. "Really?" he asked hopefully.

Lily laughed. "No, not exactly," she said.

Lily and Kylie got up and left the common room, leaving poor James thinking about how much more he wanted a certain red haired girl.

Sallymander- Made is a television show on MTV. It's not a salon type of thing. It's when people decide to try something that they normally wouldn't do. Like a white boy becoming a raper, or a geek into a ladies man. Hope that clears things up!
