A/N: Okay well I shouldn't be starting another story since I am already writing The Zabini Twins but this story just got in my head and it won't leave me alone! So please read and review, I will only continue if I get some response.

In this story magic is allowed outside of Hogwarts. Lily and the Marauder's are on friendly terms because Lily and Remus are good friends so they ended up being friends. I don't like Peter therefore he will only appear when necessary. Peter, Sirius and James are all purebloods, Remus is half blood and was raised muggle but with the awareness of his magic.

Lily Evans was 16 years old and about to enter her seventh and final year at school. However she was not attending a normal school but a magical school; Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Lily was what you average teenager would describe as perfect; she stood at 5'7 with a slim figure, curves in all the right places, red hair and strikingly green emerald eyes. She was friends with some of the most popular people in school; she was smart and the newly appointed head girl. Lily Evans was not however perfect; it was all just a façade to cover up what her life was truly like.

Lily was a muggle born witch; this meant that her parents were not magical so when they discovered their youngest daughter was a witch they were shocked. Amanda Evan had been quite accepting of her daughter and her new found magic. Daniel Evans had not been so supportive of his daughter; he had actually been disgraced upon hearing the news. He had been raised in a family that was perfectly normal and this was what he wanted for his own family. Lily's older sister, Petunia, was disgusted that she had a 'freak' for a sister; she began to completely ignore her.

The Evans family lived in a small house in Surrey; Amanda Evans was a lawyer whereas Daniel was a trainer at a local gym. Lily's mother was often away so Petunia and Daniel didn't have to hide their contempt for Lily much. Amanda Evans was the one who took Lily to buy her school things and took her to Kings Cross Station to board the Hogwarts Express for the very first time. It was on this train ride where Lily met Remus Lupin and the two became the best of friends after realizing that the two had so much in common. Lily also became friends with James Potter and Sirius Black but they were not as close to her as Remus was. Lily did have trouble making friends with the girls in her year due to the fact that they were all jealous of her relationship with the boys and she was also the only muggle born witch in the whole year group. James, Remus and Sirius were all rather attractive and even thought they were only in their first year the girls were already falling at their feet. The three boys along with Peter Pettigrew were known as the Marauders; the ultimate pranksters of the school. Lily was their friend but she never took part in the pranks and she never reported them either. Lily also never really talked to Peter; she had always felt strange around him and she didn't trust him.

During Lily's second year she was called to the headmaster's office. It was there that Professor Dumbledore broke the news of her mother's murder; Lily was of course heartbroken. She left the next day upon the Hogwarts Express to go home for the funeral. It was on this sad visit home where Lily's traumatic life begun. Arriving at her home expecting comfort from her family she was instead treated with hatred. Her father immediately sent her to her room telling her to move her belongs to the cupboard under the stairs. When she questioned her dad she was told that she didn't deserve a room because she was a witch, then he slapped her for what her called 'insolence'. Lily had been in shock she spent the rest of the day sitting on her bed (which filled up the whole cupboard, minus the shelves mounted on the walls which contained her small amount of belongings), this was not of her on free will but because she had been locked in there.

When Lily returned to Hogwarts she did not tell anyone about being hit; she had rationalized it down to the fact that her father was in shock over her mother's death. She had also come to the conclusion that she didn't need a room at home because she was in fact only there for the summer. The Marauders had welcomed her back to Hogwarts and only Remus had noticed her slightly strange behavior and red cheek. When he later mentioned it to James and Sirius had pointed out that she just lost her mother.

The next four years of Lily's life were spent at Hogwarts with her friends or at home being physically and mentally abused. She had never told anyone that her father hit her; he had told her once that no one would believe her and she believed him. Petunia was the one who was responsible for the mental abuse that Lily went through. When Lily returned to Hogwarts her friends never saw the bruises but all three of them saw the change in behavior; since she was their only female friend they had just assumed it to be a 'girl thing'.

At the end of 6th year James had told Lily that she and Remus were welcome to stay at The Potter Manor. Lily had wanted to but she knew that her father would never let her go; he didn't think that she was worthy of having friends. So she naturally lied and told the boys that she wanted to but she was going to be helping her sister plan her upcoming wedding; the boys believed her. So it was now that Lily sat aboard the Hogwarts Express as it pulled into Kings Cross Station; surrounded by her friends and about to enter a summer of hell.

Lily's P.O.V.

As usual the boys helped me get my trunk and we all walked towards the floo hearth were James, Sirius and Peter were flooing home from. Sirius now lived with the Potters; he had a fight with his family and turned up at James house at Christmas saying that he and his family had different views on the world; apparently he had been beaten up by his father also. I felt as though Sirius and I now shared something more in common even if he didn't realize it; I wondered how long he had been abused for? James and Sirius both gave me a tight hug before wishing me a good summer vacation before the said in perfect unison "Goodbye Lily flower. We'll owl you". They were very similar to twins at some point that it was creepy; same looks, same attitude and same thoughts. Peter gave me a quick (and uncomfortable) hug while James and Sirius flooed away before he himself flooed away. Remus was now the only one left with me now; he had to catch a muggle train to his home. He didn't like to floo when it was close to his transformation time; I realized that he was a werewolf during my 3rd year. I didn't have a problem with it; in fact I actually encouraged him to tell James, Sirius and Peter. Together we proceeded towards the barrier that separated platform nine and three quarters. The familiar lurch of the barrier happened and Remus and I found ourselves in the muggle world. Looking around the station I saw my father waiting for me with a forced smile upon his face. Next to him stood my sister, Petunia, she was wearing a scarf around her hair and a rather large pair of sunglasses; obviously afraid that someone might see her.

"Well Lily flower is your family here?" Remus asked me while he glanced around the station.

"Yeah my dad and sister are over there. I better go, they look in a rush." I reluctantly said. Truthfully I wanted to get on the train with Remus and never return home but I knew it wasn't possible.

"Well Lil's I'll see you in Diagon Alley or on the train. I'll send Hermes soon thought." Remus said before scooping me into a hug which I desperately clung to. Remus spoke of sending his owl (Hermes) I really hoped that he wouldn't; every time something abnormal happened my father would beat me up. Messenger owls classified as abnormal.

"Bye Remus, have heaps of fun and don't get into too much trouble without me okay". T had strangely enough been the one to get the Marauders out of trouble this year.

"Well where on earth would you get that absurd idea? Like I would get into trouble!" He said with his usual cheeky grin in place. "You better get going now though. Your dad looks angry. Take care Lily flower." At his comment I quickly looked at my father; Remus was right he looked mad, very mad. I would pay for this later and it would hurt.

"I've go to go Remus. Have a good break." I said while giving him a final hug and forcing my way through the crowds to where my father was located. When I reached him I could see the anger more defined in his eyes. He leaned forward to hug me. To any passersby it would look like a father hugging his daughter as to welcome her home from boarding school. However to me it was a promise of more to come; since my father was a trained it meant that he had muscles and that he was strong, so when he hugged me he squeezed so tight that I could hardly breathe. Pulling back he then grabbed my trunk from me and wrapped an arm around my shoulders which pulled me close.

"Listen you little bitch you bought this on yourself. The only reason that I'm not hurting you more is because that stupid friend of yours is watching us. I want you to turn and wave at him and if there's any funny business I swear that you won't be able to move for a week!" He hissed into my ear. I complied with what he told me because if I didn't then I knew that I would be 'punished' more later; I couldn't however keep the sadness out of my eyes as I wave to Remus with a fake smile on my face.

When I climbed inside the car outside my father began to yell at me about how I was a slut and I must have been fucking 'that boy' why else would he care about me. I knew that this wasn't true but I didn't say anything; silence occasionally made him less violent.

Well what do you think? Please leave me a review and I will decide whether I should continue with the story. To anyone who also reads The Zabini Twins I am trying to update soon.
