Disclaimer- If I owned anything, I wouldn't be rushing to finish the fifth book now would I
Authors Note- I may not be going on what little has already been said about James and Lily, it really cant be considered Alternate Universe, I guess.
Chapter One
She bolted upright, suddenly being awoken. Another nightmare, another vivid dream that was too close to reality. Through the dingy, growing daylight, her eyes peered around the door room. Her other roommates were still asleep, perfect, she wouldn't have to be thrown in to some awkward situation, because she knew she had the issue of talking in her own sleep.
Slowly laying down, she pulled her bed sheets tighter around her shivering body, trying to convince her mind to drift into slumber once again. But she had a peculiar feelings that worse things may come, worse than any nightmare she has had yet.
Sixteen-year-old Lily Evans feared every waking day.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
" Lily- come on…….Evans, wake up!" the plump young girl was leaning over her friends and roommates mattress, tugging away at her night shirt.
Lily swatted her hands as they slumped onto bed sheets, " goway Leah" she muttered.
" Lil, someone just squealed, Alina Duvall is a Mudblood! She's being cornered in the common room.
There was that same feeling that started in her navel and spread across her entire body instantly. She dove off the end of her bed, avoiding being tangled in the sheets, and dashed out onto the balcony that overlooked the entire common room where the Gryffindor students (who were still upstairs) had already gathered.
Lily pushed her way through the mob to the balcony's railing. Alina had been in her sight since their first year, they even sat within arms reach everyday in the Great Hall.
And now, the once angelic teenager laid on the floor of the common room, her legs curled into her chest, screaming. Her cries made no sense in any way, but they were not drowned out by the horrid yelling of her fellow students surrounding her- followed by a kick in her back, or one of the boy's spits of saliva upon her robes.
Just then, Professor McGonagall emerged from the porthole in her dressing gown, and immediately the students backed away. She seized Alina by the underarms, pulling the distressed girl to foot, and dragged her from the common room. Her fading screams were still heard for minutes afterwards.
The commotion began to settle, as thought ceasing their actions after they felt their work was complete. The crowd behind her began to decrease, but someone new was now standing to her left.
" Poor girl" he mumbled.
She looked over at him- James Potter. Tall, handsome, popular, and a brilliant Seeker. However, Lily used all but those words in the unlikely event that she had to even mention the guy- despite the fact that someone with a reputation such as his felt more like an illusion, standing next to her.
Lily cleared her throat, " but she's a Muddy" she opposed all the words she had just said, it was merely a disguise.
One in which he did not agree with for even the slightest second, " since when should that make a difference?".
It was a oratorical question, yes, but she answered it anyways, " apparently since the beginning of magic's time" her bright eyes remained locked on him.
" It's nothing but rubbish, that's all it is".
" I'm sorry you feel that way" she softly muttered.
Nearly a thousand years ago, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was founded. But even before that, the lack of appreciation towards Mudbloods began. That is stating it rather kindly. Any witch or wizard who had non-magical parents were treated worse than what was thought to be possible. ` Untouchables' as they were called. Despite the power they were capable of, they were banned from the world of magic, Hogwarts included. However, there were always the daring, the Mudbloods that made it into Hogwarts's walls without anyone's knowledge of what their real identity was. They had to be brave, and smart, because not everyone was able to get away with it.
Lily Evans, was one of them.
Another Authors Note- No worries, it will get better and LONGER!
