The Green Sweater

Disclaimer: If you recognise something then I don't own it. This beautiful magical world belongs to J.K. Rowling, if I owned it all do you really think I would be here writing fan fic, well for you not so smart people, I wouldn't, I would be writing another beautiful book for the HP series, Thanx.

A/N This is my first fan fic, I have been trying to write one for so long and I finally feel I have started one that I could even think of posting so here I am posting it, I was un sure of what rating it should be so just to be safe its PG-13. I'm not completely sure what will happen so that's the reason for the rating. As usual please R/R thanx ppls,

Chapter 1 - The Taxi Driver, my sweater and I

"PETUNIA, HAVE YOU SEEN MY GREEN SWEATER?" screamed an angry red headed, green eyed, 16 year old as she pulled herself out from underneath her bed, frantically trying to gather all of her things and squash them all into her trunk.

"WHY WOULD I TOUCH ANYTHING THAT HAD GONE ANYWHERE NEAR YOU OR THAT PLACE YOUR PART OF? YOU'RE A FREAK!" Lily Evans' older sister, Petunia, screamed back and an all out scream fest began between the two equally feisty sisters.

It was not the first time they had argued this summer. It was not in fact the first time they had argued any summer. Petunia didn't agree on her sister being what she was, she was a freak in her opinion. No that's not what is meant by not agreeing on what she was, Lily Evans was a witch. This was why she was packing; she was getting ready to attend her sixth year at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. Or in Petunias eyes, getting ready to go become a professional freak. It was much like joining the circus, well that's what she thought anyway. Lily on the other hand couldn't wait to get away from her sister and go back to the school which had slowly become a real home for her, especially after her parents had died back in her forth year. Every summer Lily had to go back to her old childhood house that reminded her so much of her parents. She had to go back there and see her sister, although the summers were made much easier because their elderly grand-mother had joined them as well. Lily loved her grand-mother but sadly loved Hogwarts more.

Lily eventually tuned out from her sisters screams and slammed her bedroom door returning to packing her things without the green sweater.

Lily woke the next morning to find her mouth dry and tasting disgusting. She rolled over to turn off her alarm clock which read 7:30 as usual. Hopelessly trying to soften her mouth and fill it with saliva she gave up and slowly crawled out of her bed. She trudged down the hall and into the bathroom, she grabbed a quick glass of water before stumbling back to her room and falling back to sleep almost immediately.

Sadly for Lily her sleep was disastrously destroyed by the tragic cries of Petunia, who had just woken up to a very unwelcome surprise.

"WHAT IS YOUR DISGUSTING SWEATER DOING IN MY ROOM, NEAR MY THINGS TOUCHING THE FLOOR THAT I HAVE TO WALK ON AFTER IT HAS TOUCHED YOU! AAAARRRRGGGHHH! HOW DARE YOU LET THIS HAPPEN? I NEVER WANT ANYTHING OF YOURS ANYWHERE NEAR MY ROOM !" This was all screamed very dramatically by Petunia just outside side her younger sister's doorway, she of course would never set foot in the room of her freakish sister.

Having no choice but to wake up after being almost screamed to deafness, Lily crossed the room and snatched the green sweater viciously from Petunia's hands. She quickly slammed the door to her bedroom (which she did a lot), trying desperately to hide the tears that were beginning to spill out of her eyes and run down her pale face. She was forced to think of her childhood, when her and Pet (what she used to call her darling sister), would have so much fun together, just being normal children, normal muggle children. And there was the problem, Lily was not meant to be a muggle and she knew it, even Petunia knew it. But that of course doesn't mean she accepted it. So Lily's letter arrived in the summer time when she was 11 years old, she went off to Hogwarts, Petunia stayed behind, and their lives had never been the same again.

The girl heard a croaking old voice calling up the stairs for her to come down to breakfast, she was pulled from her musings, wiped her face hastily and trotted (yes she trotted just like a horse, well maybe not just like a horse but…) down the stairs for her last meal at home before she would leave for Hogwarts on the train that morning.

"Mmmm, pancakes, my favourite" she sniffed the delicious smell of her Nanna's famous chocolate chip and blueberry pancakes.

"I know, my darling, that would be the exact reason I made them, I'm going to miss you after you leave today." Nanna replied lovingly

"I'll miss you too Nanna" Lily sat down at the table and ate her way through two pancakes of both choc chip flavour and blueberry; she knew she would definitely miss this breakfast.

One hour later, Lily was pulling the green sweater over her head as she tried to drag her trunk, with her owl cage on top down the stairs and scream a hurried goodbye to her busy sister all at the same time. Her busy sister did not even reply as she was talking on the phone to her new and extremely fat boyfriend, Vernon.

A horn sounded from the muggle taxi outside the house and Lily kissed her Nanna goodbye and stepped outside still struggling to keep a hold of all of her things. The taxi driver, a young man in his late 20s, wandered over, put her stuff in the car and said "I like you sweater by the way" as they pulled away from Lily's house, and they were on there way to Kings Cross, Lily thought "The Taxi driver, my sweater and I."

A/N Thank you for reading, as you hopefully have because you are now at the bottom of my first chapter and I can't think of any other reason you would have of being down here. Anyway… PLEASE review, I really need to know if this story is worth continuing, I will be happy to read ANY of your comments even if your screaming at me to crawl in a hole and die, just a long as if it is bad you give me something to work on for the future, CONSTRUCTIVE PEOPLES, Thanx.

Lots of Love from,
