Summary/Teaser: Love thy family? Yeah right! Lily's Sister Petunia pushed her away, what happens when Petunia has to come to Hogwarts? And not mention Lily having to deal with one Mr. James Potter. Lily will be 'Stuck Screamin'
Lily wasn't a complainer but when it came to her family she made exceptions. She hated them more then anything. Well her sister more then her parents. Lily was one of the few Muggle-borns at Hogwarts. There were a few, Julian Jakes; 4 year Ravenclaw, Helene Monad; 7 year Hufflepuff. But they were fairly rare. Her sister, Petunia was just so… mean and un-accepting of Lily's kind. This of course means witch and/or wizard.
After they had found out about the day when they're parents would come to Hogwarts, most people began to accept it. AKA chose to live in denial that, that day would come. Lily glanced over to a fairly worried looking James and smiled. He really was quite cute--
"What you thinking?" Lucy voice interrupted happy thought happy family (well those were fairly unhappy thoughts) and of James Potter. Gryffindor's favorite seeker. Although Lily couldn't be caught following treads, she was meant to be above that. An intellectual. Although James, he was an acceptation.
"Nothing… I am having a lot of happy non-thoughts." She replied lying as she steered her gazing glance over to Lucy's eyes "What else could I be thinking of?" Lucy just sighed and crossed her head in disbelief or Lily's bad lying.
"So not one of your intense and pondering thoughts are on a certain ever so cute and not the mention hot Gryffindor Seeker?" Lucy giggled mocking glancing over to James, Sirius and Remus whom stood around a cauldron at the back of the room.
Lucy herself was quietly shocked that they came at all, even though it was properly to snicker at Severus Snape. Lucy and Lily were properly the only people whom did not call him Snivellus in the school. Maybe because Lily had been at the other end of most of James jokes before he noticed that Snape was so much easier to tease.
"No!" Lily said a little too fast. She looked down embarrassed "Maybe one—or two are on James- Potter…" she corrected herself blushing madly. As she cut up an potion ingredient to placed it in the pot in front of her.
Lily and Lucy didn't notice their other best friend; Jane Luca enter the room at side in beside them. She had always had a habit of sneaking up on people. She could get past any teacher and make them think she was always there.
"Oh first names are always a sign of friendship or crush…" laughed Janie quietly as she obviously had heard their conversation (or some of it).
Lily sighed as she continued to complete the potion. She had even forgotten which one they were making, she was just following the guide line.
Lily muttered looking down to her book intensely, "I don't like him… he is just kinder to me now…" a smile appeared on her face as she looked towards James, but it was only a glance. Then she turned again and, not stared, just watched intensely.
"So cuteness level?" Lucy asked, this was their game; the cuteness level of guys. They had basically done the whole school of guys in a journal in their dorm, they all independently voted and a spell would give them the final vote. James was given 42, Sirius; 56, Remus; 76 and Severus; 8.
"Who? James? 50—60 if he's lucky." Lily laughed, for the first time since she found out that Petunia was coming to Hogwarts. It was at the back of her mind now, all she thought about now was James.
"Hey I think they are talking about us…" whispered Sirius to James, their backs facing the girls'. Remus went to look around. "Don't look at them! Go to the potions cupboard and see you they are looking at…" Sirius pulled Remus back from going to look at Lucy, Lily and Janie.
"Guys leave them be…" James said. He was becoming impatient with his friend and his work. He cut of Gulfweed and placed in the pot in front of him and it turned bright green.
"James, are you still freaking about family?" Asked Sirius concerned. Usually James only focused on work to get his mind off other things. I.E. family and/or Lily hating him.
"Of course I am freaking! Wait until everyone sees my family! Mum and dad ok what about my brother and SISTER!" James looked angrily at Sirius as throw in a purple ingredient and it turned a light blue.
Remus (while James was freaking) walked over to the potions cupboard. He looked at Lily. She was indeed staring at one of them. He followed her eyes. She was staring straight at James. He laughed to himself as he walked back to his friends. "You won't believe who Evans been staring at all this time…"
James didn't look interested he merely stared at his potion. "Prongs…" Remus smiled evilly Sirius starting laughing and then James kicked him.
"Stop laughing I can't think" James said strongly, looking over too his potions book for his next, pointless instruction on the creation of some potion that he would never use again. It was a love potion. 'If only they were legal in Hogwarts…' James thought.
"James did you here what we said…" Sirius looked at him worried. If he had heard something like that on a normal day, he would have teased Evans for the rest of her life, not totally and completely ignored it.
"No and I don't care!" James said bitterly as he dropped the last ingredient into the cauldron and it turned lovely red with streams of pink in it.
"We said Evans likes you…" Whispered Sirius, quietly laughing as he waited for James response, he was sure it would be hilarious.
James froze. He glanced back to Lily. His mind froze. He had always liked her back never said anything. She had only ever called him Potter. Sometimes James but that extremely and utterly rare.
"And James likes her… how sweet" Sirius teased smiling as he laughing placed to where his heart (if it existed) would have been.
"Shut up Sirius…"
