A/N: My first LJ Fic, so be nice! =] . review! Hope ya like!
Chapter One: I'm a WHAT?
"Lily. Get up." A rough hand shook Lily by her shoulders. A sleepy Lily awoke.
"Whaaa?", she said, sleepily.
"Up. Everything must be perfect for Petunia's birthday."
"Okay, Mum." A large, plump lady left the room. Lily got off her bed, and looked for something to wear. Her room was small and cramped. She had at least a hundred books, but she never read fiction. The only clothes she had were from Goodwill. Sure, her parent's were rich. But they wouldn't waste money on Lily. It was all for Petunia. Lily chose a red shirt with old overall's. She got a small present out from under her bed, and ran downstairs with it.
"Happy birthday, Petty!"
"It better not be a book", said Petunia, looking at the package. "I hate books. You are like such a total freak! Nerd. Dork."
"You are welcome, Petty!" Petunia scowled, but handed a package to Lily as well. Petunia and Lily were twins. Not that their mother loved them the same. They were totally different twins. Lily wore huge glasses that hid her green eyes. She wore her red hair in two pigtails, making her look like she was eight. She was eleven. She had never gotten below a 95% in her life. Petunia wasn't all that attractive, but compared to Lily, she looked like a goddess. She was tall, and had a long neck. She was wearing a satin dress and had her brown hair in an elegant bun.
"Okay Lily it's ten. The guests will be here at eleven. Clean Petunia's room."
"Mom!"
"Petunia can't clean it, . she might get her dress dirty! Anyways. your father, Petty, and I are getting a cake. Now go! Hustle. Chop Chop!" Lily ran upstairs. She never disobeyed her mother. She finished cleaning Petunia's chaotic room in a few minutes. She saw an owl near the open window. It was carrying a letter.
"Err." Lily looked at it. The owl looked back, and hooted loudly. "Er. Oh! You're an endangered species! Let me go get my book! Wait here!" And she ran to her room, got a large book on owls, and looked up "endangered species". When she got back to Petunia's room, the owl was gone, and the letter it had been carrying was in its place. Lily opened the letter. It read:
HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY
Headmaster: ALBUS DUMBLEDORE
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc.,
Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. Of Wizards.)
Dear Ms. Lily Evans,
We are pleased to announce that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress
Lily chucked the letter out the window. Witches? Wizards? No such thing. That's fiction. She never believed fiction. Her family was back. It was a quarter to eleven. They had to get the house ready for the party. Lily thought someone probably sent that owl as a trick. A prank. She didn't tell her parents.
But, at 4, when everyone was getting ready to leave, the same owl was back. Girls screamed hysterically. Parent's took their children and ran out the door. The Evans tried to grab the owl. It was caught by Macy.
"Macy?"
"Mom?" Petunia stared at her mother
Only Lily was silent. Her mother spoke.
"Lily. you're a ..a.. a witch." Her mother beamed at her.
"Macy? Are you quite alright?", asked George Evans.
"Yes, George. I am fine. Lily this is great! You can solve all our problems!"
"Mom?", said Petunia. Everyone ignored her; that was a first.
"Do you feel magical? Let me send back an answer with this owl. Okay. Great! So. say something! Say something magical! This is great!"
"Uhh.Mummy? There is no such thing as a witch." started Lily Evans.
"Oh dear! It's August 1st! We were supposed to send this owl by yesterday! Well. I'll take you to buy your things tomorrow.
The next day, Lily was shocked. There really were such things as witches and wizards.
"Come along dear. We must change all this money into wizard money. That's the wizard bank, Gringott's." Lily hurried along with her mother.
"How do you know all this, Mummy?"
"Your new headmaster gave us a map! I wonder what spell's you'll learn! Maybe you can clean the house everyday for me. yes.magic is very useful!" Macy Evans turned to a goblin. "I am here to open an account for Lily Evans." So they spent the next hour arguing with the goblins. After getting money, they bought all the school books. They still needed a magic wand and robes. Lily wanted a toad, but her mother refused.
"All right, Lily, darling, my dear witch!" Macy beamed at her daughter. "I shall get some food. You go on in and try on some robes, alright? Here's some money!" And so Lily walked in alone, and asked for assistance.
"I am here to purchase some Hogwarts school uniforms." Lily asked shyly. When she had spoken, a tall, attractive boy with messy hair looked her way. Lily paid no attention. She was used to people staring at her. They thought she was a freak. She thought the same of them. But the boy smiled at her. That was a first. Lily looked at the boy more closely. He looked like he was 14, but he had told the shop clerk he was a first year at Hogwarts. He looked very fine indeed in a yellow shirt and green, baggy jeans. He walked right up to her, and said hello.
"Hey. I'm James Potter." He flashed her a smile. "What's your name?"
"Lily Evans."
"Hi, Lily."
"Hi, James."
"I'll see you at Hogwarts, then. Later." He smiled again. As he walked out, a shorter boy walked in.
"Hey Jamsie! I see you've made a friend."
"Yeas. This is Lily. Lily Evans."
"Hey. I'm Sirius Black."
"Hi. I am pleased to make your acquaintance. How do you do? Are you a first year at Hogwarts also?"
Sirius raised his eyebrows. "Nerd.", he muttered under his breath. "Uh yeah. Bye. Come on, James."
Lily scoffed. Just because she had been polite about meeting him, he thought she was a nerd? "Some people", she thought. She bought her robes and left. But James was outside, talking to her mother.
"Yes, Lily is a very nice person. Yes. A muggle-born, you say? Wow."
"Yup! Here she is now! I'll leave you two to talk. I'll talk to James's mother."
There was a silence as Macy left. James spoke first.
"I like your clothes." James was not being sarcastic, but Lily didn't know that. She was wearing a black shirt that said "Do you believe in magic?" and old jeans.
"If someone asked your opinion, I'd like to hear it."
"No. I really like it." Then Sirius came by.
"I like it too. I love it. Can we go now? We're gonna be late, James."
"You go on without me."
"Whatever. Nice shirt, Lily!" He chuckled, and ran away.
"If you are done wasting my life, James, ."
"Nope. Not yet." He flashed a smile so bright, it could kill. Girls who were walking by blushed and waved at James. He waved back. "So. What house do you wanna be in? Gryffindor is the best, right?"
"Oh yes. Brave, they are. I'd like to be in Ravenclaw, though. I'm smart" Lily blushed.
"I bet you are." James had not meant that as a sarcastic remark either. It just came out that way.
"Considering I have just met you, you are being extremely rude. Good Bye." She left, but James ran after her.
"I wanna help!"
"Help what?"
"Help you."
"And why do I need help? Good bye." Lily got on the train with her mother, and left James Potter staring after her.
The next few weeks went by quick. Petunia was so terrified of Lily she refused to be within 50 feet of Lily. Macy kept asking Lily to clean the house using magic.
It was September 1. The Evans had to leave Lily at the station and leave right away because there was a party they had been invited to. They said quick goodbyes, and went their separate ways.
"Hi."
Lily turned around. It was James Potter and Sirius Black, along with two other boys Lily didn't know. James saw where she was looking, and introduced them.
"You know Sirius already, and these are Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. My two other best friends."
"That's nice. I'm going to be late for the train. Goodbye." As she turned around, looking for a sign that would tell her which way to go. She saw no sign.
"Excuse me, sir?" Lily spoke to a nearby officer. "Where is the entrance to Platform Nine and Three Quarters?"
"You are the hundredth person to ask me that! There is no platform nine and three what-not!"
James, Sirius, Peter, and Remus laughed.
"May I ask what is so humorous?"
"No. But I'll tell you anyways. The train's right here." He pointed to a solid barrier that his cart was touching. "Allow me." He stepped through, followed by Peter, Sirius, and Lupin. She touched the barrier. Her finger went through. She stepped through.
"Wow.", was all she could say. And "wow" about summed it up.
"I see you made it in? Shall we find a compartment, then?"
"You may, I shall find some friends to sit with." Lily looked around, for someone she knew. As if. She had no friends. And the chances one of the people she knew were wizards were slim.
James shrugged. Sirius laughed. "YOU HAVE FRIENDS? LIKE OHMIGOD!" He put on a valley girl accent. "YOU HAVE FRIENDS? OMFG! LIKE OH MY FREAKING GOSH!" Sirius broke into peals of laughter. Peter joined in. Remus smiled weakly. James punched Sirius in the back.
"Butt head. Shut up." James silenced all of them with a look. He turned to Lily. "See you at school. Ignore them. He may be named Sirius [serious] , but he's the opposite. All he does is bitch."
Lily looked shocked at his language, and scurried away. She looked like a mouse, in robes that were too big for her. She found a compartment with two girls. She slipped in, and looked out the window.
A/N: Yup. You like? I hope so. Review! Well.lemme tell you the summary I wanna follow for this fic.
As you already know, Lily is a nerd. James is not. James tries to be nice to Lily. He knows not to judge people by the way they look. The whole school is horrid to her, but James tries to be nice. It's not easy though, since she always pushes him away. In Lily's third year, James finally gets her to trust him. He calls her over to his house, just as a friend. His mother gives Lily a total make-over. She looks HOT. =] But then, James does *something* that gets Lily to hate him so much, she wants to never see him again. In sixth year, James wins Lily's trust again, but Lily does *something* to James, making him loathe her. They get together in their seventh year. Add in loads of fluff.and voila!
A/N: Hmm.now that I put that summary in writing.it sounds DUMB. tell me what you think! Give idea's! Review! =)
