A/N Sorry I haven't updated in a while. My Internet connection broke down. Damn SBC…..plus somehow I managed to delete the first chapter, so I had to re-write it. Anyways, enjoy!

Lady Sorciere- Hey, you're my first reviewer! Congratulations. Thanks for the advice. I wasn't offended. Good luck on being an editor!

magic cheese- Thank you! You sound like a truly wonderful, beautiful, smart girl. And I bet you're awesome.

How sad is it that I have to leave myself a review?

Chapter One

I'm sitting right now in the first year girls' dorm of Gryffindor Tower, with my new roommate. Her name is Rebecca Ann Walters. Her impossibly glossy hair is dark brown, and she has big grey eyes. Her pale skin has freckles across her nose, and she has the reddest lips I have ever seen. In my life. I swear, it's like she's just eaten a bowl of cherries. I wonder if she's wearing lipstick.

Anyways, she's talking right now about herself. I hope she doesn't babble all the time, because that would be seriously annoying. I think I'd switch dorms. I can't stand people who talk about themselves all the time. It's so bloody frustrating. I mean, hello, there are more interesting people besides yourself! Like me, for example.

"Are you a half blood?" she asks loudly.

"Erm…no. I'm a muggie born." I say to her.

"You mean Muggle born." she corrects.

"Exactly." I respond, blushing a bit. Gosh, I can't even get the words right. How am I going to survive here? I've never even done magic! Okay, Lily, don't panic. Just breathe deeply. In. Out. In. Out. Do not panic. You'll be fine. And, of course, you can always go back home if you want, just like Daddy said.

I wonder what they're doing at home. I suppose they're crying their eyes out over me. Poor Mum and Daddy. They must miss me dreadfully. I'm sure it's hard when your favorite daughter leaves home. Now they're stuck with Petunia. Petunia will probably drive them insane. Poor Mum and Daddy…..

I should probably pay more attention to Rebecca. She might get the impression that I'm not interested in her.

"Yeah, that great!" I exclaim.

She's frowning at me. Why is she frowning at me? All I said was 'Yeah, that's great'. That can't be offensive. Unless she just told me that her grandmother is dying. Or her cat ran away. Great. I've just possibly ruined the only friendship here I'll ever have. Me and my big mouth.

"You think it's great that my parent's are getting divorced?" she asked.

"Erm….uhhh……yeah. I mean, it's…umm….great that your parents are…..erm…..mature enough to realize that they don't belong together." I stammer slowly.

She still looks a bit unconvinced.

"I mean, think about, Becky. This way, you'll get two birthdays and two Christmases. Double presents. You can't beat that, can you?" I tell her.

Her face lights up suddenly.

"You're right! This is bloody brilliant. Thanks, Lils." she says, hugging me.

"I'm a bit tired. I think I'm going to turn in." I say, faking a small yawn. She nods at me and climbs over to her bed.

"Goodnight, Lily."

" 'Night, Beck."

Eh….didn't really like this chapter much. Did you? Let me know at 1800-URE-VIEW. Just kidding. All you have to do is press the little purple button. Do it!
