Shattered

Chapter 1

Lily sighed as she entered the school though the big oak doors in the Entrance Hall.

While everyone else was greeting all their friends, she went straight into the Great Hall and sat down at her normal spot at the back of the Ravenclaw table near the entrance.

Lily sat there patiently, staring into space, waiting for everyone to sit down so they could eat, get the "welcome back speech" from Dumbledore and then she could finally retire to her dorm.

Not that Lily enjoyed sitting in her dorm, considering the fact that the girls in her dorm, Bonnie Mason, Ivy Williams and Melissa Young were Lily's dormmates.

The four girls had gotten along well enough the first week of school but as soon as Bonnie, Ivy and Melissa saw how intelligent she was and was getting the most attention from teachers and students alike... their like turned into jealousy and they began to make Lily's life miserable.

Bonnie Mason, was what you would call the leader in their group of friends.

Bonnie was about 5'4'' with long black hair that reached the middle of her back, she was one of those people who was sickingly nice to someone just so that they could get into the right circles.

She was well known throughout the school as one of the hottest girls around.

Each week Bonnie would have a different 'flavor of the week'...she could never stay with one guy for more than a week or so...but that just made her more attractive for most boys around the school.

It was the same way with her family.

Bonnie's pure blood line went back for centuries and they have had the reputation of being very social.

They would do anything to get into the right circles...anything

Next up was Ivy Williams, she was a little bit shorter than Bonnie and had short light brown hair that went just below her ears.

Also from a pure blood family; Ivy's father and mother worked at the Ministry of Magic, and were always throwing parties to meet new people...and to find out if they had any political competition.

Ivy's father, Andrew Williams, has been attempting to become Minister for Magic for the last 3 years and frankly everyone was getting tired of it.

But Ivy, like her father, was very proud and would continuely brag about how well her father was doing and that he was one of the most powerful men in the Wizarding region of England.

Finally there was Melissa Young, or Missy as she prefered.

Missy was the biggest flirt at Hogwarts, surprisingly she was half-blood but that didn't stop her, she still thought she was superior to everyone.

She, like Bonnie, was constantly jumping from guy to guy...sometimes dating two at a time if she fancied it.

Missy was always trying to impress a guy, and constantly wanted everyone's eyes on her.

Which was a constant problem with the three girls considering they ALL wanted everyone's attention ONLY on the THEM.

It was all quite annoying really, but the trio thought they were better than Lily and when they saw how she was lacking in the self-confidence department they decided to take advantage of that.

Lily was snapped out of her thoughts as Dumbledore stood up, everyone went silent.

"I have a few things to say before we tuck in to this delicious feast."

Dumbledore paused as he look over the hall at all his students seated around the four different tables.

He smiled. "Welcome back! Please..Enjoy!"

And with that the tables were covered with food and drinks of all sorts.

Everyone tucked in, began to eat and continued their conversations with their neighbours.

Lily took a small helping of roast beef,potatoes and veggies, and slowly began to eat.

Half-way through the meal there was a loud "BANG!" that went off at the Slytherin table.

Lily jumped and looked up just in time to see Severus Snape wiping his dinner, that was now splattered, off his face.

Lily almost smiled.

The Maurauders were at it again

The Maurauders were four boys in Lily's year from Griffindor house.

James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew.

James Potter was was the co-ringleader with Sirius Black.

Those two were always together, you never saw one without the other.

James had short black hair that went just above his ears and his hair always look like he had just gotten out of bed, and his eye were a beautiful sapphire blue (which always seemed to sparkle when he was up to something).

Sirius Black was a little bit taller than James and was the Master Mind of the Maurauders infamous pranks.

Sirius' hair was longer than James' and was cut just above his shoulders and when Sirius felt the need he would pull it back into a low ponytail.

Sirius constantly had a smirk or smile on his face that most girls would swoon over.

One of Sirius' nicest qualities was his chocolate brown eyes that constantly sparkled with mischeif.

Then there was Remus Lupin; he was a quite sort and played more on the technical parts of the boys' pranks.

Remus was shorter than James and Sirius and had cute sandy brown hair and light grey eyes.

Remus was also more studious than the other three and was constantly helping their last member Peter Pettigrew with his homework.

Peter was always getting confused and never really understood what was going on in class so he was always asking Remus and the others for help on his homework.

Peter was more of a tag along than anything, always following the other three around than actually participating in any of their activities.

And while the other three were very attractive, Peter was short and pudgey.

He was also very shy, but there was one thing that Peter was actually good at; he was an amazing chess player.

He was known as the chess champ throughout his house and loved the attention and would play anyone who challenged him.

James and Sirius were both on the Griffindor Quidditch Team; James was Chaser and captain of the team, and Sirius was a beater. (Which Sirius absolutely loved considering he was allowed to hit a high speed bludger at anyone in his way, it was quite amusing really, especially when it was Griffindor vs. Slytherin)

Remus, on the other hand, was a prefect, which people found shocking considering all the pranks the group pulled.

Lily smiled as she saw the four of them falling over themselves with laughter over at the Griffindor table.

That was the funny thing about those four, no matter how sad and alone Lily felt, the Maurauders always made her smile with their pranks.

Ironically, even though Lily had most of her classes with at least one of the Maurauders, they didn't even know she existed...

The Maurauders were constantly surrounded by people and therefore, would never notice the red headed girl who sat at the back of the class completely ignored and unnoticed.

An hour later after the food and dishes had disappeared everyone grew silent as Dumbledore once again stood up infront of the students.

"Welcome!" He said his arms over wide to the students.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! I know you are all wanting to get up to your dorms so that you can all get settled in so I will try to make this announcements as short as possible. First of all, your timetables will be given out to you tomorrow by your Head of house at breakfast so please plan accordingly. A few rules for you all, there will be no magic performed in the corridors, which brings us to our new caretaker Mr. Filch, he has a list of items not permitted at the school, the list can be found on his office door if you would like to check it. Finally, the Forbidden Forest is of course, Forbidden, please to not try to wander through it or close to it..."

Dumble then paused and looked as if he was thinking really hard to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything.

"The Quidditch Try-outs Professor!" A voice called out to Lily's left.

Dumbledore looked up and smiled.

"Ah yes! Quidditch try-out are coming up in the next few weeks! Thank you Mr. Black. If you are interested in trying out for your house team, there are opening on the Griffindor and Ravenclaw teams. Try-outs will be held on Saturday, the 22nd of September. If you have any questions please see the quidditch captains. James Potter for Griffindor."

Dumbledore gestured towards the Griffindor table as James stood up and waved.

"And Janelle Taylor for Ravenclaw." Janelle stood and waved as well.

"That is all of the announcements, please enjoy your year here at Hogwarts."

Lily was the first one in the 5th year girls Dormitory and Lily was relieved but wasn't that surprised.

The trio always stayed out late on most nights socializing and flirting (well attempted to flirt) with the Maurauders.

That always gave Lily plenty of time to unpack all of her things and get to bed.

Lily sighed and began to unpack her things.

Her clothes were put in a wardrobe that was across from her bed and in the drawers of that wardrobe she put her bath stuff and all her extra books that were read for fun and not for school work.

Her school things, school text books, parchment, ink, quills etc, were placed into a cupboard that was the bottom half of her bedside table.

After Lily had unpacked everything and had changed into her PJs, she casually casted a locking and sheild charm on both the wardrobe and the bedside table.

Lily had learned that her things were not safe from her roommates and had perfected a locking and shield charm with a few jinxes thrown into the mix.

The trio had been trying for years to break into Lily's things and ruin them but had to give up half way through 4th year when they had tried getting into Lily's wardrobe and they ended up being covered in discusting, itchy warts for a month, and no one could figure out the counter curse.

The trio would never admit who had jinxed them either.

If anyone (especially the Maurauders, who always loved a good prank) found out who had jinxed them, their 'reputations' would be ruined.

It was the only time in her entire time at Hogwarts that Lily had felt a small bit of contentment.

Everytime that the trio walked into the Great Hall during that glorious month Sirius and James would burst out laughing and demand to know who had performed such a brilliant jinx.

That of course only ticked off the girls even more.

After the warts had finally cleared up, the three girls spent the rest of the year making it to be Lily's worst year she had had at Hogwarts.

But the strange thing was that the trio would only pester Lily in the dorm and Ravenclaw common room, and as soon as they were out side of the common room they would just act like Lily didn't exist.

'Oh well' Lily thought to herself as she got into bed.
