Ok this story doesn't exactly go with the books. It's more going along with my stories (The Last Potters and The Family Portrait). It will still make sense for the most part if you haven't read those two stories, but I would suggest it. So yes, we do learn where Alyssa gets her obsession with stars. Heh heh, and yes I do plan on making a shirt like the one Lily is for Valentines day, but I'm not as obsessive about Valentines day as she is….but I still love stars….obviously (my screename…)
Lily Evans wasn't exactly your normal girl. Sure she was good looking, half way popular, a prefect, smart, and nice, but that didn't necessarily show how she was in the inside. For one thing, she hated pink and hearts. She didn't know why, she just did. Her friends thought she was crazy for it, but she didn't care. She thought maybe it had to do with her being sort of a tomboy growing up, thanks to her dad. He was always trying to prove to her and her sister Petunia, that spiders and bugs were NOT something to scream about, unlike what Petunia did anyway. Lily had to admit though, having her sister run out of a room screaming, just because there was a spider crawling up the window screen on the outside was pretty amusing.
Lily knew though that her hatred of hearts and pink had to do something with Petunia too, who had always absolutely loved the two things. Petunia had always been mean to her, so she didn't want to be like her. Lily never had dreamed that Petunia could get any worse than she already was, but once Lily had gotten her letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it happened. But Lily wasn't currently thinking about that as she sat on the floor of her dormitory.
"What exactly are you going to do with those?" asked her fellow fifth year Gryffindor dorm mate, Tiffany Flaherty as she jumped over Lily, her twenty tubes of fabric paint, and a blank T-shirt.
"You'll see," Lily replied smiling up at Tiffany who had sat down on her bed to watch Lily.
"She won't tell me either, so me too curious to go downstairs to the common room, have started on my homework, on a Friday night waiting for her to start," said another of Lily's dorm mates, Lisa Smith, who was laying on her stomach, her head at the foot of her bed, with her books open in front of her.
"Oh wow! You guys will never believe what Peter, Remus, James, and Sirius are doing out there, they are walking around like idiots wearing white sheets, with holes cut in them for their eyes, while wailing like the Bloody Baron," said the last of Lily's dorm mates, her best friend Marie Waters.
"It's Friday the thirteenth, what more do you expect from the four of them?" asked Tiffany, "Come on, sit down, she's in artsy mood! She's always interesting when she's like this."
"Just because I'm in 'artsy mood' as you call it, doesn't mean I cant hear you," Lily said picking up the pink tube of paint and carefully painting a heart on the left side of the shirt. She put the lid back on the tube, then picked up the black tube. She snuck a peel at her friend's faces that all had a surprised look on them, and smiled to herself before drawing a huge X over the pink heart.
"Branching out a bit this year are we?" asked Marie.
"I was scared for a moment she was someone else using a polyjuice potion." Tiffany said looking at the shirt amused.
"What?" asked Lisa who had transferred to Hogwarts at the beginning of the school year.
"Oh, you know how she is obsessed with stars and blue?" asked Marie gesturing towards Lily, who was now painting a big blue star next to the heart, "She 'protests' every Valentines Day, by wearing lots of stars, but I think that this is the first year since we've gotten to Hogwarts that it has landed on a Saturday, so she couldn't do much with stars and her uniform."
"Yep!" said Lily happily, as she held up her shirt to show the three of them.
Oh and I hope to have at least one more chapter to this, and once I finish it I will go back to updating The Family Portrait! Please Review!
