The Diary of Lily Audrey Potter

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Life's Life, There's No Fixing It

Authors Note: Nineteen inches of snow. 300 reviews. Life is grand. Well, so here in the Midwest, your only hope of travel is four-wheel SUV's, and as I do not have an SUV, I'm stuck here, writing you all chapters!

Disclaimer: I'm not releasing a book on July 16th. So no, I do not own Harry Potter and friends or foes.

Dedication: To Midnight, who had the 300th review!

Later

Potions, still

Libby decided that our work area smelled like dead rodents, which, I kindly informed her, is because of the dead mouse in the corner, but she said it was me, and attacked me with some designer perfume. So to make problems worse I now smell like dead flowers.

She's refused to let me brew the potion, so I'm here, writing, while she files her nails and flirts with Blake, her boyfriend. Wait…if Dan cheated on me with Libby then...Libby cheated on Blake! I'm going to point this out to her.

Five minutes later

This is what happened.

"Libby?"

"What, dork?"

"You know how Dan cheated on me with you?"

"So, why do you care? It's not like he was a good snog anyway."

"Didn't you cheat on Blake then, too?"

"Silly, no! Blake's the one who suggested I kiss Dan anyway to break you two up!"

I obviously stopped talking then. But Snape just HAD to come by our cauldron at that point.

"Miss Potter," he sneered, "Why is there no potion brewing?"

"Ask Libby. She's the one who said I don't know anything about potions and banned me from making anything."

"You get a zero for today's class, Miss Potter. One more lie from you, and I'll send you to the Headmistress' office."

Everyone hates me today. Seriously. Oh well. I'll just go to dinner and head to the library. Madam Sage saved me all those books and I'll do my homework there. None of my mortal enemies go there, so it should all be good.

The Library

Okay…I think I figured out what happened that night.

I think that due to some sort of spell or something, Mum lost the baby. That's what I think. I could be wrong, but that's what I think. I mean, it seems like that could happen, because in one of the books I read it said, "On that night both innocent and guilty blood was shed that night. Even one's whose life should not have been touched by that event, was, and unjustly so." Plus, the one unborn child on the fatality list. The only way to know that this is right is to owl Mum, but I don't feel comfortable doing that yet.

I've decided that my Potions grade will not suffer Libby's wrath, so I will brew the potion on my own time, write the report on my own time, and find some way to get back Libby on my own time.

Muggle Studies

I have come up with a list.

Lily Potter's List of Possible Revenge on Libby Unwyn

1. Kiss her boyfriend—no, scratch that, I'm not kissing Blake. EVER.

2. Cover her in black clothing. That'll scar her for life.

3. Charm eye liner to write, "I AM A POMPUS LOSER" on her forehead.

4. Spill a vat of grease on her.

5. Tell her that her family has gone bankrupt do to her massive amounts of Magical Surgery to fix her feet.

6. Steal her foundation. She wears too much anyway. Only, I think she has twenty more cases in her bag.

7. Turn her friends against her. Uh…I'll skip that one. I don't think she has any friends.

8. Take pictures of Blake kissing a house elf. That'd be great.

9. Slip Polyjuice Potion into her drink so she'll turn into a leaf. Then I'll blow her up. And tear the pieces to bits.

10. Don't murder her, just seriously injure her ego.

11. Turn her hair blue

12. Bitch slap her

I personally like numbers 11 and 12. I think I'll do that. She ruins my life, I harm her ego.

Jay came back today!!!!! This fact is making me very happy! She's okay, she looks really pale, but told me that she'll spend today in the Hospital Wing and then come back to class soon. This is great, because Bray was really feeling the strain of not having her twin around, and I was getting generally annoyed because I didn't have someone to vent to.

The Great Hall

I completely forgot Hermione taught here. Completely forgot. This is why I now dread Transfiguration.

Hermione was in the Great Hall when I publicly broke up with Dan, right? So she pulls me aside after class today to ask me about it. This is how it went:

"Lily? Can I talk to for a moment?" I was like…no.

"Sure Professor Malfoy."

"I saw your break up with Dan the other day. Do you mind telling me why?"

"Yes. I do mind telling you, Professor. It's my problem."

"Lily, Dan is my son. You are going to tell me why."

"Fine. I caught him making out with Libby. Okay?" And then I walked away. Sometimes I just wish my parents hadn't bothered to make friends. Because all of their school friends try to act like my parents. It's extremely annoying.

Anyway, so I sit down at the table to eat, and everyone stares at me. I don't get it, until a second year leans over to tell me that my skirt is tucked into my underwear, because I hadn't bothered to put my robe on after class. I swear my days are getting worse.

I'll write more when I figure out how to be invisible.

I've decided to owl Mum about the "Missing Potter" as I've dubbed it. I really don't want to, but it's been bugging me, so I've worked up the courage to owl her about it. Now…what to say?

Hullo Mum!

Care to inform me on information on your first child?

No…she'd murder me.

Hey Mum!

I read your jour

Uh, no.

Mum,

I found out that when you were about 17 or 18, you were pregnant.

That's a good start. I'll just continue on that and see where it gets me.

Slytherin Girls Dorms

Exams are FINALLY over. I thought on of the first years was going to combust the other day. He ran around, naked, screaming about summoning charms that a third year was working on, and ran into a potted plant and started cursing out the potted plant, and attacked a second year, and then some sixth years grabbed him and stunned him and took him to the Hospital Wing.

Jay nearly clawed me to death when she FINALLY arrived to Transfiguration the other day and I told her it was the day we took our exam. She looked murderous, so I summoned a cup of blood and gave it to her. The Healers said that she hadn't been getting enough blood, and when she finally felt the deprivation, she broke.

Meanwhile, I turned in the potion, and Libby started screaming at me because she turned in nail polish remover and I made the correct potion, a Calming Potion. Then Snape said that we had to try our potion on one of our partners, so Libby drank the calming potion and fell asleep. It's not my fault she thought ¼ was four cups. As usual I have detention with Snape for giving her too much. Oh well, life's life. There's no fixing it.

End Notes: You are all wonderful. 300. I went into shock when I saw that. I ran into my mom's room, screamed, "I HAVE 300 REVIEWS," and fell on the floor in shock, laughing and basically convulsing. Yes, I am insane.

I love you all; you are the warmth in my snow filled world.

As always, review.
