Thoughts From A Broken Heart

by IllusiveButterfly

Some of Lily's diary entries... How did she feel when Petunia called her a freak? How did she feel when James Potter picked on her and asked her out? How did she feel when Snape called her a mud-blood? How did she feel when she fell in love?

3. Chapter 3

1st September 1971

I can't believe I am finally here. It's even better than I imagined. The castle is beautiful and everything seems just perfect except me and Sev aren't in the same house. He's in Slytherin. I asked the hat to put me in Slytherin too but it told me that I was far too special for Slytherin. It said that I belonged somewhere else. It put me in Gryffindor with that stupid Potter boy. He's so annoying. He was so horrible to Severus. The girls in my dorm just had a fight. I don't really understand what happened. Mary just started shouting at Alice (I think that's their names). It had something to do with blood or something. Apparently there is a difference between me – a muggle-born, Mary – a half-blood, and Alice – a pure-blood. Mary kept shouting at Alice about being a fanatic. It's okay now. That Potter boy fixed it – maybe he's not as bad as he seemed on the train. He's Alice's cousin or something. She says he's really lovely but he was so horrible to Sev.

I'm so excited about tomorrow; my first day of lessons. I hope I have some classes with Severus. I really miss him. I wish we were in the same house. I like Gryffindor though. The tower overlooks the Quidditch pitches and the lake. It looks amazing from up here. I'm going to try and sleep. There's a girl in the corner who I haven't met yet – she sounds like she's crying. She must miss home already.
