Chapter One
*Lily's house, morning of September 1st*
'Alright, lets see if I have everything,' Lily thought taking everything out of her trunk for the millionth time. 'Wand, check,' Lily crossed it off a list she was holding and continued, 'Robes, check, dress robes, check, scarf, check, socks, check, books, check, quills, check, parchment, check...'
"Lily, get down here at once! You're going to be late!" Mrs. Evans bellowed. They needed to be at the station by 1:00 and it was already 11:45 and it takes them at least 45 minutes to get there.
"Coming, mum! Just making sure I have everything..." Lily replied, but trailed off, throwing everything back into her trunk, satisfied that she did indeed have everything she needed for her final year at Hogwarts.
Downstairs, Mrs. Evans told Mr. Evans to go bring Lily's trunk down to the car whether she was done packing or not because they needed to leave immediately. With this, Mr. Evans went upstairs and knocked on Lily's door. "Come in," came his daughter's sweet voice. Mr. Evans smiled at his beautiful girl, 'Young lady now,' he thought and grabbed her trunk and heaved it downstairs.
Lily looked around her room, knowing she wouldn't see it for a whole year. She went to her nightstand to get her Head Girl badge and placed it in her pocket. How proud her parents were when they got the good news. Lily turned to her mirror and saw that she had tears in her eyes. She would be out on her own and away from her parents for good, "Be brave, Lily," she told herself, "that is why you are in Gryffindor."
"Obviously it is a mistake then," sniggered her non-magical (muggle) sister.
"What do you want, Petunia?" Lily said coolly, "I know you didn't come to give me a goodbye kiss on the cheek, because you haven't done that for years."
"And who would want to kiss a freak?" Petunia spat as she stomped out of Lily's room and into hers, slamming the door.
"I love you too," Lily whispered sincerely. She was use to being called a 'freak' by her sister, her parents said it was just jealousy and wouldn't last, but that was six years ago. Lily ran downstairs hearing her father honk; she looked around the house once more, sighed, went outside and got into the car. Her dad pulled out and drove off for another year at Hogwarts...
***
"James get up now! You are going to be late!" Mrs. Potter shouted.
"Mum, just a few more minutes," James mumbled.
"James you need to be at the station at 1:00 and it is now 11:45 and you haven't packed nor showered!" Mrs. Potter shouted once more at her son.
'First day of Hogwarts! How can I be so stupid?' James thought smacking his forehead and jumping out of bed.
He didn't know whether to shower or pack first. He decided to take a shower since that would hopefully wake him up.
After his shower, he scrambled frantically looking for everything he needed. "My wand, there you are, okay in you go," James muttered as he put it in his trunk, "books, quills, parchment." James paused and looked around, his broom! 'Oh, no!' James thought running down the stairs. 'It's still in the yard somewhere, why didn't I listen to my mum and put it away?' He quickly scanned his backyard and spotted it. He ran and grabbed it and raced back to his room and placed it in his trunk.
'Now where has that map gone to? If I don't find it Padfoot will murder me!' James searched frantically for the map until he found it under his bed and put it into his trunk.
He took a last look around his room and realized he needed to get his Head Boy badge that was on the bathroom counter. How he got Head Boy he didn't know, but it was another good point that would attract the girls to him, even "Hard-to-Get-Evans." He smiled his One-Million-Dollar-Smile at the thought of this.
He went into the bathroom and grabbed the Head Boy badge and couldn't help looking into the mirror. Out of habit, he tried to make his messy hair even messier, he figured girls loved this. Grinning at his reflection, he heaved his trunk downstairs.
"James, you better hurry, your father is waiting outside for you," Mrs. Potter said sincerely as she gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks mum! I'll miss you," James continued teasingly, "and I'll try my best to beat the record of detentions I got last year!" James saw his mum's worried and angry look and added quickly giving her a kiss on her cheek, "Only joking! See you next year!"
To that he heaved his trunk to his dad who was waiting by the Knight Bus.
"James, we have 15 minutes to get you on that train, what else is new?" Mr. Potter smirked, "After you then." He motioned for James to step inside the Knight Bus.
"London," Mr. Potter told the driver as him and his son took a seat.
James sighed, knowing he had to make this year the best, because it was his last year at Hogwarts...
***
Lily reached the station with her mum and dad. Her dad heaved Lily's trunk all the way to the barrier. They all went through, unnoticed.
"There she is!" A girl with blond hair that was mid-back length shouted excitedly.
"It's our Lily!" A girl with long black hair shouted.
"Well, who else do you know with red hair and green eyes like that?" A girl with shoulder length brown hair said.
The three girls ran towards Lily and gave her a huge-group hug.
Lily turned to her best friends; first she addressed the girl with blond hair, "Oh, Haylee, how have you been?" Then, Lily turned to the girl with black hair, "Clara, how was your summer?" Lastly, she turned to the girl with the brown hair, "Sadie, what have you been up to since I saw you last?"
She gave them all another hug. They have all been the sisters that she never had, because Petunia turned on her when she found out she was a witch, having Haylee Matthews, Clara Hicks, and Sadie Pettys as best friends made her the luckiest girl in the world. They shared many good and bad memories at their years at Hogwarts, and now would be their last chance to have the best time possible at Hogwarts before going their separate ways!
"Oh, Lily! You look so beautiful!" Haylee said looking Lily over. Noticing, that she had changed her appearance a bit since that last time she saw her.
"Oooo! Look at your tan, it fits you perfectly!" Clara cried, admiring her tan.
"And your eyes seem even more brighter than usual!" Sadie said laughing, and looking at Lily's green almond shaped eyes.
They all joined in at laughing at this comment, because they knew that Lily had to have the brightest eyes in the world, and it was impossible for them to get any brighter.
"Aww, you three are too nice to me! You all look stunning as usual," Lily said, grinning as she looked at all of them.
"Now, Evans, I think we have finally agreed on something, they are too nice to you," she knew who's voice that was, it was one of the most people she despises in her life, and it came from behind her. Lily turned around slowly with her eyes closed and held her breath, hoping she was mistaken.
"Potter," she continued coolly, "at least I have friends who are nice to me." And she looked past him and stared at his friends seeing that they were laughing at him from behind, she grinned. He noticed at what she was grinning at and turned around quickly. And as he was going to say something back to her, she had already gone towards her parents to say goodbye to them and then boarded the Hogwart's Express with her friends.
"Way to go Prongs, that will get Lily alright," came James best friend who was like a brother to him, Sirius Black.
"Oh, shut up," James replied bitterly, "she doesn't know what she's missing out on, she's bound to give in sometime, it is our last year."
"So this means you'll be going after her again, Prongs?" His other best friend, Remus Lupin, asked.
"Why would I give up?" James answered.
"This will be another long and laughable year," squeaked his other best friend, Peter Pettigrew.
"Oh, come on, I still have a chance, let's go get on the train before it leaves us behind," James said carrying his trunk to the train.
***
"Oooo, James was looking pretty cute this year," Clara said giggling.
"Did you see Sirius? Yummy!" Sadie said, giggling as well.
"Now, you know Remus was looking the best, he didn't look as shaggy as usual," Haylee said smirking.
"You know, Lily, you should really give James a chance this year," Clara was saying, "You never know, maybe he's changed. You have to admit, he is one of the cutest boys at school."
"Clara, you know that there will never be a "James and Lily" because that oaf can't deflate his head even if he wanted to," Lily said bitterly, "and I for one, am not into those sort of guys. Looks he might have, but everything else is rotting away in his big, empty, head." She sighed looking out the window, thinking, 'James Potter, the magnificent, James Potter, Quidditch Captain for the Gryffindor team, one of the top students in the class, outgoing, funny, a trouble-maker, and cute. Cute? No, no, no, James Potter was not someone I want to waste my time on, all he cares about is himself, and that will never change.'
"Oh, Lily, stop being so hard, you haven't even given him a chance!" Sadie argued.
"And why should I give him a chance? James only wants me because he knows that I won't go out with him, it's a challenge, and as soon as I say yes, he'll dump me, so what's the point?" Lily replied.
"I think you're scared," Haylee coolly said. She saw Lily's angry face and continued, "I think you're scared of what if you actually fall for James, the only thing that is wrong with James is that he might think too highly of himself, but at least he has confidence."
"Why would I be scared of falling for James? And you are right, he does think too highly of himself, way too highly, and that makes him conceited, something I don't look for in a guy." Lily replied coldly.
"Whatever, Lily, I don't know why you just won't give him a chance - "
At that moment, their compartment slid open, and in came Peter, Remus, Sirius, and James. "Give who a chance?" Sirius butted in.
"None of your business," Lily said coldly.
"Oh, come on Lily! You can tell your old friend Sirius!" Sirius said briskly as he sat down right next to her.
"Friend? I think not, sorry I don't have friends who like the satisfaction of pleasing themselves more than other people," Lily replied coolly as she turned her back on him.
"Now, who does Evans not want to give a chance to? You should be happy that a guy actually wants you Evans," James said shooting Lily a dangerous look.
"Just some guy staring her in the face," Sadie said continuing, "And James, more guys like Lily than you think." James was about to reply to that, but Remus sat down next to Haylee and Peter next to Remus. Quickly, Remus being the nice one out of the four, changed the subject seeing how James and Lily were giving each other deadly looks,
"So how has your summer been ladies?"
"Wonderful!" Clara said.
"Brilliant!" Sadie replied.
"Never better!" Haylee answered.
"Fine," Lily said bitterly.
"If you'd all excuse me, I need to go to the Head's department to give instructions to the Prefects for this coming year." With that, Lily stood up and started to leave, until she felt someone pull on her arm.
"Evans, you're Head Girl? You are joking, right?" To her surprise, it was James.
"Yes, Potter, I'm Head Girl, and I'm not joking. So why don't you sit down and worry about yourself while I go find the Head Boy." With that Lily turned around, but felt once more someone pull her back.
"What?" She shouted angrily.
"You're looking at him." James said grinning.
"What are you talking about Potter; I really don't have time for any games."
"I'm Head Boy, so I guess I'll be joining you." And with that, James stood up and walked past Lily. James felt Lily's bewildered stare, he grinned with satisfaction, knowing that now he had finally gotten Lily's attention.
