Hey guys, Free2writemydreams here This is my fifth Lily and james Story. Hope you guys like it can't wait for your reviews!
I Think it started in first year, I was a bossy know-it-all. I was different from the rest of the people at Hogwarts; I was the only girl who wasn't from a pure blood family in many years. I was basically a tester to see if muggle borns could go to Hogwarts and graduate. They picked me because I was the next muggle born witch on the list.
I had just gotten onto the Hogwarts express when two boys passed me. They were laughing at something the jet black haired kid said, when the boy stopped on the spot staring at me. The boy next to the black haired boy looked me up and down with gray eyes. I was getting very uncomfortable.
"It's rude to stare you know" I said to the boys.
The boy with jet black hair started stuttering, "Oh...I...Er..." He blushed up to his roots. I had to fight my smile back. They boy with gray eyes was laughing into his hand and took the Black haired boy away from me. As they left me I heard the black haired boy say, "Who in the world is she?"
I rolled my eyes and lifted my trunk back up, it was sort of heavy. I think I looked helpless because in the next second a boy with brown hair appeared and lifted the trunk for me. He helped me carry it into a compartment and shook his hair out of his eyes.
Sticking out his hand he said to me, "Hey my names Remus Lupin."
I shook his hand, "I'm Lily Evans."
Remus nodded his head and sat down, "I saw you with my best mates Sirius Black and James Potter."
I raised my eye brows in surprise, "You know them?"
He laughed, "As embarrassed as I am to admit it, yes"
"Hey!"—I groaned it was the boy with Black hair and his accomplish,--"I resent that!"
"Hey James, Sirius." Remus said grinning.
"Who's the girl-friend?" Sirius asked Remus, who blushed scarlet.
"She not my girlfriend" He muttered.
"What's your name?" James asked me.
"Lily Evans," I answered, "Now if you'll excuse me."
I stood up and left the compartment I heard Sirius telling James off for scaring me away. I had to walk all the way to the back of the train to find an empty compartment. But my troubles had just begun, a boy with long black hair and dark eyes came in looking at the floor, he stopped dead when he saw me.
"Oh sorry" He said backing out.
"No its fine" I told him moving over, "you can sit here."
"Thanks," the boy said smiling softly, "I'm Severus Snape."
"Lily Evans" I smiled.
We didn't talk much, I guessed he was shy. I could tell he loved to read as much as I did. I found this intriguing. When I looked at the book he was reading I saw it said: Advanced Potions I was amazed.
"How old are you?" I asked eyeing the book.
"I'm in first year, you?"
"First year," I answered, and then pointed to the book, "If you're in first year why are you reading Advanced Potions?"
He shrugged then went back to his book. When the train came to a stop we stepped out together. That's when the trouble really started. Remus, Sirius, and James stepped out right behind us. I guessed they liked to start trouble because right away James yelled out,
"Hey Snape, trying to kill muggle borns already? Aren't you a bit young?"
Sirius and Remus snickered.
"Shove off" I heard Severus mutter.
"What's the matter my dear mate? Stuck a nerve?" James mocked.
Severus whipped around wand in hand; the boys already had wands in their hands. I looked back and forth between then bewildered. What was wrong with a muggle born? We weren't THAT different.
"I don't hand out with Mudbloods" Severus said frowning, "I didn't know Evans was one."
James yelled, "Don't you dare call her a mudblood!"
Remus came forward and dragged me over to their side. Just then two older students appeared. One of them had bright red hair; the other had dark brown hair. They also had their wands out.
"What in the world do you fist years think your doing?" The boy yelled, "Stop fighting and follow the rest of the first years to the boats!"
I hung my head, I was already in trouble Mum would have been so disappointed. I ignored the boys and yanked my hand from Remus' grip. I got onto a boat with James Potter and his friends, but ignored him the whole way, they got me into trouble. I, Lily Evans, Never got in trouble.
We got off the boats and the two older students went inside the castle without us. A girl with heavily lidded eyes came over, four boys followed her like love struck puppies. She stopped in front of Sirius Black and grinned. I could smell trouble brewing. Great mum was going to kill me.
"Hey Sirius, see your still hanging out with these people." She said to Sirius.
"Go away Bellatrix" Sirius told her.
"Leave before I have a reason to curse you into oblivion." James warned her.
"Well potter getting pretty sure of himself, isn't he?" The girl named Bellatrix said, "You best watch your back Potter." She added mincingly.
I felt my temper rise the girl was being evil to them when they did nothing. How dare her. I never liked bullies. My temper was about to reach its full scale.
"Leave them alone." I heard myself say this and James's eyes opened wide.
"Stay out of this" Sirius said.
"Yes" the girl agreed," This is between me and my dear old cousin."
"Come here Lily" James said.
"Aww Potters got himself a girlfriend." Bellatrix said.
James blushed scarlet again but ignored her, "I said come here Lily"
"I'm not your slave" I growled at him, then I turned to Bellatrix, "You obviously have never seen a red head mad, so I'll tell you now, you never want to."
Before she could do anything else the doors opened and then an OLD (I stress the word OLD) man came out. I was surprised; this man looked older than my great Grandmother. He had light white hair and light blue eyes that sparkled behind glasses. The man opened his arms out wide as if to hug them all.
"Welcome to Hogwarts! I'm Professor Dumbledore" He said to them smiling, "You will soon step through these doors and be sorted into your houses. Your house will be like your family; you will do classes with them, eat with them, and sleep with them in your own dormitories. There are four houses in all, Gryffindor—a few kids hissed softly—Slytherin—other kids hissed—Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw."
I looked at the other kids. Sirius was looking on the green side; his eyes darting back and forth. James fiddled with his color and smiled softly at me when he noticed me look at him. Remus, he was muttering something and looked like he was praying. When I looked over at Severus, Snape, he was unreadable.
We walked into the Hall. Older kids were sitting at four tables and staring at us. I looked up and saw the sky. I jumped back in surprised. That was amazing magic. Professor Dumbledore stopped in front of a stool.
"When I call your name please step forward and you will be sorted." Dumbledore said.
"Aliments, Maiden!"
A Girl with blond braids stepped forward, her light blue eyes sort of glazed over. She walked over to the stool on the stage and an old and mattered hat was placed on her head.
"Hufflepuff!" the hat yelled. I jumped in surprise for the second time that night.
"Athens Lena!" was placed in Ravenclaw.
"Black Bellatrix!"
Sirius' cousin stepped forward. The hat had barley been placed on her head when it yelled slitherins. The table next to the first year's cheered. Bellatrix looked happy, I heard someone whisper, "Figures"
"Black, Sirius!" Dumbledore said.
Sirius Black stepped forward. I heard dome of the older students snicker, I wondered what was so funny. I watched as the hat was placed on his head. It shouted "Gryffindor" and gasps were easily placed along the hall. Sirius himself looked surprised, but then grinned when the Gryffindor table burst into applause.
Everyone was either going to Ravenclaw and Gryffindor or Slytherin. When they finally got to the "E"'s I was slightly sick. Dumbledore called out my name and I felt someone squeeze my hand, it was James.
"Good Luck Lily" He whispered.
I took a deep breath. I could feel my heart pounding I felt like I was going to throw up last night's dinner and Dessert along with it. I felt like I had no insides. Then I looked into the face of Albus Dumbledore. His clear blue eyes seemed to calm me; I smiled softly and grabbed the from him placing it on my head. A tiny voice entered my head.
Ohhh Ms. Evans a pleasure to meet you, it said are you scared?
I wasn't sure how to answer so I shook my head and though really hard: yes
You are very loyal I see and very smart to, you would do well in Ravenclaw, it said to me hmmm but you are worried about being the only muggleborns? Harsh times in your future but you will go about them the best you can. It paused as if to think what is this? Well this tells me everything, better be—
"Gryffindor!" The hat yelled out to the whole hall.
I smiled relieved that I was in Gryffindor, but also very surprised. I walked past James who beamed at me. I walked to the Gryffindor table and sat next to Sirius Black who winked then turned his attention back to the other first years. Next to be sorted was Ally End who also made Gryffindor. The list goes on and on and finally it stopped at Remus.
"Gryffindor!" the hat yelled out. Remus sat down next to Sirius.
After Remus I knew nobody, probably because I wasn't pure blood. The only person I knew that was left in the line of first years was James Potter. Finally Dumbledore called out James' name. James stepped forward in an arrogant manner. He was on the stool for about five seconds when the hat yelled out, "GRYFFINDOR!" James ran to out table grinning like an idiot. Sirius thumped James on the back and scooted over so that James was sitting next to me.
"Great job" I told him.
"You too" he grinned.
"Thanks I said flashing him a smile.
The last person to be sorted was "Zeon, Michel" who was sorted into Slytherin. That's when I noticed the Slitherins looked like a very unruly bunch. The headmaster stood up smiling.
"Hello, Hello, Hello, and welcome to a new year at Hogwarts, I'm your headmaster Dippit, "the headmaster told us, "For those of you who are new I'd like to lay down a few rules, the forest is forbidden as well as the fifth floor corridor for building reasons. Now I hate to be the bearer of bad news but due to resent events Hogwarts will no longer have Divination as a subject—a few older kids cheered—so classes will be fifteen minutes longer—other kids groaned—please be aware that if you break any of these rules you will be priced with detention."
The headmaster paused, "Now lets sit down to this wonderful feast our house elf's made for us."
Food Appeared suddenly before my eyes. James ginned at my surprised exasperation.
"How do you like Magic so far?" He asked my piling food onto his and my plates.
"I love it." I told him.
The rest of the night was spent laughing and talking of our family's. I had never felt so at home. I had new friends, I was a witch, and I was in the best house ever. What could go wrong?
Absolutely everything.
