Summary:
Here I am, on a plane, to where you might ask, let's just say I'm
very far from home, or will be once I get there. It's not like I'm
in a hurry to get there, after all it's not like I'm not
comfortable, seeing that I, Lily Marie Evans, am one of the daughters
of the president of the United States of America……

Disclaimer: Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Harry Potter. Doesn't everyone know that by now? My heart breaks every time when I think about it. Anyway, I own the plot (I did NOT steal it from First Daughter, the movie; I haven't even seen the movie!) I also own some of the new characters in this

First Daughter
Almost
Okay…my life is officially screwed and I haven't even gotten to my new school yet...what is up with that? Someone tell me please. Why does my life have to be so darn complicated? What did I do in my past life to get me here? Why couldn't I just be born an ordinary child? One that did have to worry about the press, one that didn't have to have a personal body guard, one that could just live life to the fullest? Well I guess life isn't all that fair and that some kid would kill to be in the position I'm in.
That's like my worst nightmare. Someone killing me and my family, and it's so scary because it's real. I could happen. The reality of it freaks me out. I mean there have been lots of people in high positions that have been killed, along with their families. I'm not scared for myself…but for my family. Dawn and Terri are looking at me, and let me tell you…in a weird creepy kind of way and I bet I know what it's about.
Those stupid winks were so obvious how could they not have seen? Stupid Potter. I hardly know this guy and I'm like already really close to hating him. Okay, I'm sitting here in an awkward silence and I don't like it one bit, so I'm going to do something about it. I opened my mouth to say something. I closed it again; I just couldn't find the right words for this occasion.
"Okay," I said still trying to find the right words "what's with this silence thingy?" They didn't say anything. "Listen you can tell me. If we're going to be friends we need to start by telling each other what's wrong."
"It's just that James winked at you; do you like know him from somewhere else?" Dawn said finally saying something. "Its not that we care but were not a real big fan of him and his friends-except Remus- but if you're his friend, or whatever, it really doesn't matter in the big picture." Terri said. I laughed for some strange mutated reason. "No I don't, it just rather funny you know, I hardly know this guy and he starts winking at me. I just bumped into him at the platform."
"He's like that, him and Sirius. But you know I think they aren't so bad sometimes it just bugs me the way the act like they're all that and own the school, the way they have a different bimbo on their arms every week, and prank people for no apparent reason." said Terri. "Same with me," said Dawn "They wouldn't be so bad if they just stopped doing those things. I kind of envy their friendship with each other, it really strong. They're good people inside I guess…VERY deep inside."
"Well let's make sure our friendship will be just as strong." I said. I really wanted this to work out and if it didn't, I just don't want to talk about that because its not going to happen…I hope anyways. "United we will stand or together we will fall." I said. Wow, I am being really corny…but whatever. "That…was corny." said Terri.
"Tell me about it." I said. We laughed. It was one of those laughs that you just couldn't hold back. We all had tears in our eyes when we were done, if you call constant giggling done. Finally it stopped. I'm really glad because I could hardly breathe because I laughed to hard.
"Listen," said Dawn "We're not just going to let the Marauders go are we? Not after what they did to our poor door and us. Man that really scared me, and let me tell you, no one but my friends can scare me and get away with it." "Oh no." Terri mumbled "What?" I said. "Whenever Dawn comes up with something like this, it means trouble, big time." said Terri. "Hey! I heard that." said Dawn. "Besides it'll work this time, I know it will!" "Sure, that's what you said last time and the time before that." "But it'll work this time! I know it will."
"Yup! That's what she always says" Terri whispered in my ear. I could help but stifle a giggle. Maybe this will be fun… perhaps; of course, you never know what can go wrong with Dawn around as I'm learning. "I won't stop bugging you until you finally agree." said Dawn.
"Just say yes, trust me Dawn is one to keep a grudge about things, so do me a favor and say yes." Terri whispered again in my ear. 'Fine." Terri and I said. "Well help you with your little plan." I heard me saying. It was so weird it was like one of those things where you don't know what you're saying but then again you do…you know, right? I was kinda not paying attention to the things I was saying.
"Okay, this is how is going to work." said Dawn. "We first need a plan to capture the enemy. "Wait, wait, wait, wait, Remus didn't do anything, in fact he's the one who go them to leave, so I don't think he should be part of "the enemy" said Terri. I raised an eyebrow, Terri was sure sounding defensive…before I got to say anything Dawn spoke my mind.
"I think little Ms. Collins has a strong liking for Mr. Lupin." said Dawn in a teasing kind of way. "I wonder…if that's why she's being so defensive." "Totally." I said. "But, this train is going to stop before we even get started with this prank if we don't get a move on." "NO!" said Terri "in fact I don't think we should be pranking Peter either since he never does anything remotely prank-like.
"Right, so only pranking Potter and Black" said Dawn "Anyway, I think I good way to lure them will be something to do with Snape. That'd be totally awesome." "Who's this Snape person?" I asked. "Stupid Slytherin, you'll say away from him if you know what's best for you. Even I have to agree with the Marauders when they say he's a greasy git." explained Terri. "ANYWAY," said Dawn "I think we should tell them that Snape just challenged them to a duel. I know them well enough, well I don't really know them that well, but they will go for the bait, even they cannot avoid a duel."
"Okay, that part is set, but now we need to think of something to happen and where it will take place." said Terri. "I think that we should shove them into the bathroom," I said suggestively "Then we transfigure and charm a bunch of spiders and roaches to crawl out. Then, I'm not done yet, we'll shower them with worms!" I grinned. "I like the way your mind works!" said Dawn.
"Oh no, not Lily too." I heard Terri mumble. I think Dawn did too because we were soon into a fit of laughs and Terri being the good sport see is laughed along with us. "Okay, if we want to put this plan into action we must start by charming the bathroom." said Dawn. So now we're headed toward the bathroom and were about to charm it. Luckily, I'm good and charms and Terri is really good at transfiguration so we should be able to pull this out no sweat. "Okay," said Dawn when we reached the bathroom area "We also have to make sure that the bathroom is unoccupied at all times."
That's easy "Inoccupé!" I shouted. "This should do it," I said 'Whenever someone needs to use this bathroom they will see if occupied and go to the other end of the train."
"Awesome!" said Dawn and she slapped me on the back. I think she meant this to be a friendly gesture, but boy did it hurt. "Easy on the back." I managed to say to Dawn. "Oops." "That's all you can say?" I said "You nearly murder me and all you have to say is oops?" I said sarcastically.
"Oops." she said again. I just laughed and tried to shake off the pain and soon enough it was gone. "Ok, now we need to charm it so all the bugs and the worms come out." said Dawn. "I'll handle this one." said Terri. I didn't exactly hear the indication she said, but whatever as long as if works. Terri also cast another charm. "What was that?" I said. "It's a very powerful locking charm, they wont be able to get out until the end of the train ride unless on of us lets them out and I highly doubt that we will." "Okay, that's done. Let's put our plan into action!" said Dawn. I could help it but get a little tingly I did think this would be fun, most defiantly….
"Okay, now we need to find the compartment that they're in." said Terri. "I thought you didn't want to help." said Dawn smirking evilly. We found their compartment easily enough; it was the only one with loud sounds and bangs coming from it.
"Okay. On the count of three, everyone burst in there and tell them the Snape challenges them to a duel. They should be able to resist that, they take every opportunity to cream Snape. Then, when we get to the bathroom, we'll shove them into it slamming the door behind them." "Alright." said Terri. "Sounds like a plan." I said. "On the count of 3,"
"1,"
"2,"
"3!"
We all burst into the compartment at like the same time. "Snape says-" Dawn started "Snape says that he challenges you to a duel." Terri finished. I swear it was hilarious when we burst into the compartment, you should have seen the looks on their faces; I think we actually scared them. Peter especially, he jumped like five feet in the air. James, Sirius, and Remus were just standing there with their mouths hanging open swallowing the information the Terri and Dawn were at the moment dishing out to them. I didn't say anything to them until Terri nudged me as if to say that it was my turn. "He said he would be waiting for you at the end of the train." I said.
I saw James and Sirius mouths crawl into a smirk. Peter just kept looking at Sirius and James. And Remus had on an expression that I couldn't read. Without warning, James and Sirius started to run down the train, and I mean really run, dude, they were fast.
So Dawn, Terri, and I took off after them with Peter and Remus not far behind. We finally reached the end of the train, I could hear people huffing, good thing I was in shape from quidditch. I saw James and Sirius looking left and right looking for the "git" I didn't really know him so I couldn't call him anything. Well Terri walked to the door of the bathroom and held it open. I could tell the Marauder's had no idea what was going on. Good. I didn't want them to. I couldn't help but smirk myself. I looked at Dawn and nodded as to signify that was the cue to push them in. I think they finally got the idea about what was going on because Sirius jumped out of the way. So I had no one to push and before Dawn slammed the door on James, he grabbed waist and pulled me in with him!
This is gonna to be fun. Stuck in a bathroom with James. Joy. If you can't tell I'm be sarcastic. I pushed his hand off of me and I turned around to face him. "Why did you do that!" I heard similar noises outside of the door, I think Dawn and Terri were trying to get me out and Sirius was laughing with his barkish laugh. I saw James eyes again, and once again they were filled with laughter. "Do you think this is funny?" I said in a very dangerously low voice. Trust me, when I start using this voice, you're in trouble.
But that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was when all those little bugs started climbing out. Let me tell you. I hate bugs, I hate them. And I don't know what made me do it, but I was now clinging to James Potter…of all people. Oh, lord, why did you bring me down to this level? "Relax Evans," I heard him say, "They're just bugs." I did like this very much, because first of all, I was in a compartment with swarming bugs, two, because I was in a compartment swarming with bugs with James Potter, and three because I was in compartment swarming with bugs with James Potter and I was clinging to him and he was very close to me, or was it I was very close to him? Well, anyway, He was still way to close and I didn't appreciate him whispering in my ear. That's worse than winking! I do have to admit he did smell rather nice, his scent full of spices and when he put his arms around me, as I was clinging to him, I couldn't help but enjoy the comfort.
"Feeling better?" I heard him whisper in my ear again. And you know what. I didn't are about the bugs anymore and I thought I could stay in his arms forever…that was until all those slimy, disgusting worms fell on top of us, I jumped from him as if he was on fire. And you know what, He found this all funny. I looked over at him only to find him laughing. He stopped for a second and looked me over, he looked as if he was about to say something, but before he could he started laughing again. I scowled at him. What was up with him? He's all comforting one minute and the next he was barking with laughter and you know what? I was pretty sure he was laughing at me.
So I decided to ignore him. I did a vanishing and cleaning charm to get rid of all the bugs on the floor and on ME. Eww…bugs and worms were on me. You know what. I think this is why Dawn and Terri think he's a jerk. And you know what? I do too.
I heard Potter stop laughing and I had I feeling that he was going to say something to me. But at that time the door flew open revealing a Terri, Dawn, a tear faced Sirius from laughing so much, a serious Remus, and a confused looking Peter. I walked out of the compartment and over to Dawn and Terri, "What took you so long!" I yelled. "What do you mean?" said Terri. "You were only in there for two or three minutes." "Oh." was all I could think of to say, I mean two or three minutes? It felt like eternity. Suddenly Terri burst out laughing. "See," she said "this is why you shouldn't plan pranks; they never go according to plan."
I could help but laugh also. Who cares? So I was stuck in a bathroom with Potter and just when I thought he could be an okay guy, he turned out to be a jerk. Terri and Dawn warned me. I have no one to blame but myself.
"So that was supposed to be a prank was it?" said Sirius coming up behind Dawn. "Yes, it was supposed to go according to plan, but whenever Dawn plans something it never does." said Terri. "It does too!" Dawn protested. "Oh yea? Name one time." "Um…." Dawn totally didn't know what to say and you could just plainly tell.
"Well I guess were even." I said to the Marauders "Well almost, but lets come to a truce that we wont try to prank you if you don't prank us."
"Fine." said James "works for us."
We left it at that. The Marauders left and Dawn, Terri, and I went back to our compartment to change into our Hogwarts robes. When we were done changing I said "Guys, I'm just really nervous about this, so can't you just tell me how we get sorted?" "No can do." said Dawn. "Don't worry; I was really nervous when I first got sorted. And remember, we don't care what house you get into." said Terri. I felt a little better after that. I looked out the window. Man, it was getting dark. And soon enough the train halted, I supposed we were here. At Hogwarts. Almost done with the day, almost pulled the prank off, and almost not worried.
