Chapter 1:

Any muggle who has ever met the beautiful auburn hair girl would definitely describe her as an enigma. Every since she went to her school when she was 11 years old, she was never really the same. She became a completely different person. In one year, a quiet, awkward girl who didn't seem to belong became a still shy and quiet girl who's finally found her place in the world.

Even though Lily was only around during breaks and the summer, she was able to become part of a group of friends in the muggle world. They all lived in her neighborhood, so they were able to hang out often. The only one of her friends in her neighborhood that actually knew that Lily was a witch was a young woman named Katherine Fawley.

Katherine is 2 years older than Lily. She's a curvy 17 year old of medium height. She has medium length brown hair, grey eyes and a round,pretty face. She can be insecure, but she's incredibly compassionate and intelligent. She's actually a witch just like Lily.

Katherine's birth was a scandal in the wizarding world. She's a half-blood born to Melissa, a muggle and Evan Fawley, a pureblood. The Fawley family is a part of the Sacred Twenty Eight, so when news spread that Evan married a muggle, he became a disgrace to the family and was disowned. Their family since moved to the muggle world, so they could raise Soph.

Katherine is a very bright witch. She was sorted into Gryffindor and was always top of the class. No one will be surprised when they learn that she was made head girl.

Lily and Katherine met when Lily was a second year. Since Katherine was always a good witch, she started a study group for those struggling with their homework during her 4th year for years 1 to 3. Lily had begun struggling with her Transfiguration homework during her 2nd year, so after a long moment of hesitation, she decided to join Katherine's study group. She definitely did not regret her decision.

The study group was a small group of 5 witches and wizards. There were 3 students (including Lily) from Gryffindor and 2 students from Hufflepuff. Lily was embarrassed at first about joining the study group, so she didn't really talk to anyone. That and the fact that she was too shy to approach anyone. That all changed when Katherine came to talk to Lily one day after a session.

She introduced herself to Lily and told her something that she will always remember.

She told her, " Lily, I know going to a session like this can be a little embarrassing, but having the courage to actually come and get the help you need is an action of a true Gryffindor."

From that day on, Lily became best friends with Katherine and began to have the courage to talk to more people. If it wasn't for Katherine, Lily wouldn't have been able to pick up the courage to actually speak her other best friend, Rachel Adams.

Rachel is a Hufflepuff halfgoing into her 4th year. She's medium height, just a hair shorter than Katherine. She has long dark blonde hair and hazel eyes. She has a round face with high cheekbones. She's pretty, honest, nice, intelligent, but can be mindful of others. She can be insecure at times, because she's not as skinny as most of the girls at Hogwarts. She wouldn't exactly be classified as fat, but it can still bring her down at times looking at other girls.

Rachel was actually just as shy as Lily, maybe even more so! She came to the study session for help with Potions. Since Lily was an O student in Potions, she helped tutor Rachel when Katherine was busy with another student.

They didn't officially become friends with each other until Rachel brought up her love of Charms one afternoon. Rachel went on to tell Lily how she got a Charms book from her mother that teaches her more advance charms. The next thing they knew, it was almost curfew and they had spent nearly 2 hours talking about their favorite charms.

Unfortunately, Rachel lives in her family manor in Manchester. At least Lily had Katherine during the summer. Plus, she has two muggle friends in her neighborhood!

Lily met her two muggle friends, Amelia and Olivia when she came home from her first year at Hogwarts. After her relationship with her sister fell apart, she never really had anyone to spend time with. Severus wasn't able to spend time with her during the summer anymore.

He had been sneaking out of his house to meet with her since they met when they were nine and his parents found out one night and forbid him from sneaking out. That happened at the beginning of that first summer. They have never met each other in any part of the muggle world since.

Well, the four girls are definitely the group. Amelia is an rather quiet girl who's very sporty. She's the star player on her town's football team. She's a tall girl with brown hair and beautiful sky blue eyes.

Olivia is almost the complete opposite of Amelia. She's rather short for her age and has never done a sport in her life. She has light blonde hair and warm, chocolate eyes. She's a music nerd with the voice of an angel and incredible acting skills. She always gets the leads in school musicals and even got casted in a movie once.

Although they seem like so different, they get along like a family. There are many arguments between the littlest things, but they always overcome their differences in the end.
