How it all Began
Prologue
My family was always a confusing bunch. They hated muggles. With a passion. So I don't know what they were thinking when they decided I needed to go to a muggle school before Hogwarts. Maybe they were worried I was a squib and would never have any education if they didn't send me. Maybe they wanted to send me to show me how "useless and pathetic" muggles were. Who knows? All I know is that it might've been one of the worst decisions they ever made in taking care of me, because all I learned, is that muggles aren't all that bad.
I remember walking into class that first day of school. I was nervous, and fine, I'll admit it, a little scared. I had never made any friends, and because I had a hard time taking anything seriously, whenever I had a chance to make friends it didn't work out. I remember looking around for a seat in that classroom. There was only one left, next to a small redheaded girl. She was talking to the girl sitting next to her and laughing. I saw her nod and start swinging her legs (she must've always been short, because her legs were a good 5 inches off the ground, even on those tiny chairs), her short hair (reached her chin) bobbed with her and then she looked up at me. I didn't really want to sit next to her since I was feeling so shy, but she smiled at me and I noticed she had one of her front teeth missing. She waved at me and patted the chair next to her. That was one of few acts of kindness anyone had ever given me, so I smiled back just a little and walked over.
"Hello," she smiled again. I noticed her eyes, that brilliant shade of green.
"Hey," I smiled back, and this time I really smiled.
"I'm Lily Evans," That smile was still on her face and she stuck out a hand.
I looked at her hand, realizing that she must've been a muggle, and I hesitated, knowing my parents didn't want me to make friends, not here. I mentally shrugged it off and probably thought something along the lines of screw it.. I took her hand and shook it, "Sirius Black."
A/N: This was just the prologue, I know it's short. Don't shoot me. The chapters WILL be longer. I'm starting on chapter one immediately.
If anyone has a better name for this, please, PLEASE tell me. TT I suck at names.
Oh, and if anyone is getting mad, I'm not pairing up Sirius and Lily, they're just friends (not to mention that they're like… 5 or 6 right now), and the whole thing won't take place in Sirius' view… probably. I dunno.
Review please! This is the first story I'm writing that actually has a plot and a hope of being finished. I'd love feedback, good or bad, and critiques are always good!
