The Potter's Story
By: Brynnie
Chapter One
"Lily!"
"James!"
Lily ran up and gave James Potter a big hug. They hadn't seen each other all summer, due to the fact that Lily lived in Surrey and James lived in Godric's Hollow. That made it difficult to get together. Lily Evans and James were best friends, other than their friends of the same sex.
"How was your summer?" James asked Lily as he, Sirius, Remus, and Peter helped her and her friends Anna and Emily get their trunks on the train.
"It was O.K. I wanted to kill Petunia though. I swear if she called me `freak' one more time, I would've stuffed my wand straight up her a-"
"Ah, ah. Watch your language, Miss Evans," Sirius joked while waggling his finger at her. Lily smiled sheepishly.
"I'm sorry dear Sirius. So anyway, how was your summer, James?"
"It was OK. I was kind of lonely though. I had to attend so many of my parent's dinners. It was so boring. I'm really glad to be going back," Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
"HEY! I was with you for most of the summer!" They all laughed at their friend being stupid, yet again. They found a compartment and they all loaded their things in them.
The fifth year Gryffindors discussed their summers for a little while. Apparently peoples' summers were boring, for Peter, Remus, Sirius, Emily, Anna, and James started to doze off. Lily couldn't sleep. She had been waiting to go back for two months. She loved the magical world and wanted to see all her friends.
Lily looked at all of her friends. Anna Eaton and Emily Hogan were her best friends. Anna had blonde hair that went half way down her back. She had blue eyes with flecks of light blue in the middle and a golden tan complexion. She had a very pretty face and a great personality. If you were an enemy though, Merlin help your soul. Emily had light brown hair that was shoulder length. She had funny eyes. They were bluish green that had bits of yellow around the pupil. She also had a pretty face but paler skin. They both were tall and skinny. They were about 5'7 or 5'8. Anna had an athletic build to her though because she played Quidditch and swam in the summer.
Lily loved her girl friends but she also loved the guys. Sirius Black was a ladies man. He flirted with everyone, even 7th years. He had dark brown hair that fell elegantly into his eyes. He was a very good looking young man. He was tall, around 6'0. Remus Lupin was equally good looking but was very mysterious. He had sandy hair with brown eyes that sometimes were a stormy color. He was tall also around 5'11 and thin, not very toned. Peter Pettigrew was a runt. He was 5'6 and pudgy. He had blonde hair and brown eyes. He didn't really do anything and could be annoying. Lily still enjoyed his company, though.
Last of her friends was James Potter. He was the best looking. He had unruly black hair that never laid down. He had these gorgeous hazel eyes. He had a strong jaw that Lily just loved. He was about Sirius's height. He has a great body, thanks to Quidditch training. He was really sweet and had many girlfriends like Sirius. Lily would never admit it to anyone, but she liked him. He was her friend and she would rather have a friendship with him rather than date him for a week. Along with the other boys, they were the most wanted guys in the school. They called themselves the Marauders.
Lily thought about herself. She had long wavy red hair and had bright green almond-shaped eyes. She had a pale white complexion and was thin. She was about 5'7 also. Lily wasn't athletic. The red head was more of the studious type. She read a lot. She was kind and sweet and didn't like to see anyone hurt, even the Slytherins. Everyone thought that she was pretty, but whenever someone would mention this, she'd just blush and deny it. People loved this quality about her. Lily Evans was just your typical girl next door.
Lily was starting to grow tired and eventually fell asleep lying on James. She loved how he smelled. It made her feel safe. Lily fell asleep thinking about the times she and James could have as a couple.
