Lily's New Friend

Chapter 1: "Maybe she's worth getting to know."

Lily Evans sat on the large red chair next to the fire in the Gryffindor common room, looking down at the pages of her sketchbook. She shook her head it didn't look right to her, she had been trying to draw the fire in the fireplace but there was something missing in her picture. Lily drew as much as she could and was very good but there was always something missing and Lily never could put her finger on what it was.

Lily was average height only five foot four inches with dark red almost auburn hair that fell in thick curls down a little bit past her shoulders. Her eyes where a, dark rich green that would sparkle when she laughed and would blaze with rage when she was angry.

Lily looked up from her drawing and saw her two best friends, Frances McDouglass and Adrian Bell, walking over looking ver put out about something. Frances was just a bit shorter than Lily about five foot one, Fran had dark brown hair that was long, thick, and strait her hair went all the way past her waist, and dark eyes that where brown with flecks of black in them. Adrian was very tall she was about five foot eleven, she had short dirty blond hair that was cut in a bob style, and she had gorgeous sparkling blue eyes that glimmered whenever she smiled.

They were both talking very quickly to one another as if discussing some terrible news when they looked up they saw Lily sitting in her normal chair next to the fire looking up at them, they smiled and hurried over.

"Lily, Lily guess what?" asked Adrian as she walked over to Lily's chair and sat down on the arm of it.

"What's up Adrian?" asked Lily, putting down her sketchbook and looking up at her friends.

"All of the 5th years have to go and help clean the greenhouses on Saturday! That means we can't go on the Hogsmead trip," said Fran, who seemed to be very frustrated at the fact that they were not going to be able to go on their monthly shopping trip.

"What? Why do we have to do that?" asked Lily, not exactly knowing what to think about having to clean the greenhouses on her Saturday morning.

"Oh, that's not the worst part Lily! Fran forgot to say that we had to clean the greenhouses with no magic!" exclaimed Adrian, who thought this had to be the lowest thing for anyone to make them do.

"But why are they making us do this?" asked Lily.

"I don't know, I guess Dumbledore thought that it would be a fun experience for us to help around the school," said Adrian obviously totally confused on why they had to do all this work.

Just then four of the six 5th year boys came barging in to the common room, laughing and patting each other on the backs and running into Adrian.

"Ouch," said Adrian as she fell off the arm of the chair as the boys bumped into her as they walked by.

"Are you okay, Adrian? They are such jerks! I don't get how anyone stands them," said Lily, who was now standing up and helping Adrian to her feet.

"Well, you have to admit they are pretty cute," said Fran.

"No, Fran, they are just a bunch of jerks that think they rule this school," said Adrian, saying the same thing Lily was about to say.

"Whatever," said Fran, and then she thought she had better change the subject, "Have either of you finished your Transfiguration homework yet?"

"No, but I bet I need to go get started on that," said Lily. "Why don't you two meet me in the Library in half an hour okay?"

"Sure," Fran and Adrian replied.

Lily went over to the table in the corner of the common room where she had left all her school things about an hour ago. She picked up her things and headed for the portrait hole when she glanced over to the corner of the room where the four boys (James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Petigrew) who had barged in earlier were sitting playing wizard chess. James Potter looked up and saw her glancing at them, and he grinned. Unlike most of the girls at school, who would have swooned if The James Potter had grinned at them, she glared at him and gave him a very nasty look.

'What a stuck-up jerk,' she thought. 'He thinks everyone is just in love with him. He needed to get himself a life.'

She turned around and walked out of the portrait hole to the library where Adrian and Fran met up with her later.

(Backtracking a little to when the boys barge in, from boys POV)

"James, I think that was one of your best ones yet," said Sirius.

"It was okay, I have to say that it was funny," said James looking over at Sirius.

All four of them started to laugh thinking of the prank that they had just pulled on Snape. They headed over to their normal table and sat down.

"Let's play wizard chess, Sirius," said Remus.

"Okay, Remus, but you already know your going to get your butt kicked," said Sirius with a large grin.

"I get winner," said Peter.

"Okay, get ready to play me," said Sirius, still grinning.

"Now what are you talking about? You know your getting whooped," said Remus with a smile.

James sat down with them without paying any attention to the very amusing conversation going on between his friends. James looked around the room and saw lots of girls goggling at him, but when they saw James was looking at them they turned bright red and giggled while turning to look somewhere else. In most girls' opinion, James Potter was very 'hot'; James was about six foot two inches. James had not always been that tall. He had been short and skinny before 5th year, but over the summer between 4th and 5th years he had shot up like a rocket. James had very messy black hair and blue eyes.

Sirius was James' best friend and looked a lot like James, Sirius was about an inch shorter than James was, and instead of black hair he had dark brown hair that looked almost black. He kept his hair long but always kept it a little above his shirt collar, he kept it in a very shaggy way that all the girls thought made him look very handsome. Remus was James' and Sirius' best friend. He was tall but not as tall as his friends were he was only about five foot ten. Remus had light brown hair and gray eyes. James, Sirius, and Remus were the most popular boys at school. They always had girls hanging all over them.

Then there was little Peter Petigrew who had light blond hair, beady black eyes, and a very pointy nose. He was short and very chubby, he always tagged along with the group and eventually became part of the group. He practically worshiped the ground they walked on.

As James scanned the room, his eyes fell on Lily, who was walking with her books to the portrait hole, but then she stopped and looked over at him and his friends. He grinned at her, he enjoyed seeing the girls go red when he did this-it was just so extremely funny-but for the first time instead of getting a small smile back from a red faced girl, he got a glare that would have scared the devil himself.

'That was different,' he thought

"James, James, earth to Jamesie-pooh," said Sirius waving a hand in front of James' face to get his attention.

"Don't call me that!" exclaimed James. He hated that nickname Sirius had given him so long ago, but James always said Sirius new how to annoy him, "and what did you say Sirius?

As Sirius repeated what he had looked back up and watched Lily as she walked out of the common room, 'Maybe she's worth getting to know,' was the only thought he could manage before Sirius brought him back into reality again.
