Summary: Lily Evans is quite an ordinary girl with an extraordinary secrete. Unbeknown to her fellow Hogwarts students, Lily is a member of The Imps, the biggest rock sensation in the wizarding world. Join Lily on her quest for love, friendship, and identity. AU.
Lily Evans is quite the ordinary girl, but she has an extraordinary secrete. During the school year, Lily is a good, rule-abiding student; top of her class, your average bookworm, every school has them. But Lily doesn't go to just any school, Lily goes to Hogwarts, an internationally renowned school for the arts, the arts of witchcraft and wizardry that is. That's right, Lily Evans is a witch, in her 7th and final year at Hogwarts. But that is during the school year.
During the summer holidays, Lily is a normal teenager. Well at least until she goes on tour. Yes, that is right, Lily goes on tour with her band, The Imps. As a matter of fact, The Imps is the biggest rock sensation to ever hit the wizarding world. It is the year 1968 and rock is all the latest rage. Some even say The Imps are to the magic community as The Beatles are to the muggles.
The Imps is a band made up of four members, but what makes them unique from all the other rock bands of the time is their lead guitarist. What makes this guitarist so unique you may wonder? Well, The Imps' lead guitarist happens to be a woman. In fact, their lead guitarist is Lily Evans. But when The Imps started going big, and signed their first record deal, Lily didn't want to use her real name. Lily had a good life at Hogwarts, and a good group of friends, she didn't want fame and fortune to change any of that. What Lily hates more than anything else is people who are fake. By using an alias, Lily ensured that people who befriended her at Hogwarts were doing so for her personality and not for her fame.
On tour, Lily Evans became Ella Vinys, lead guitarist and songwriter for The Imps. The band is made up of Ella, Benjy Fenwick, Gideon and Fabian Prewett. While Fabian is the bassist, Gideon is on drums with Benjy singing lead vocals and playing back up guitar. All Lily's band mates are like brothers to her and hence very protective of her as their only female band member. Lily's fellow band members as well as their manager, Christopher Wood, were the only ones in the music business to know her true identity. They always had to be careful as to when they used the name Lily lest they give away her secrete. It is now a week before The Imps London concert to kick off the beginning of their second tour, but little did they know that this tour was going to be one hell of an adventure.
End Chapter 1: The Beginning
A/N: This chapter is short, yes, but it is really just an introduction. Obviously it's AU. If you were wondering, all 3 of Lily's band members are mentioned former members of the Order. The band's name came from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. I'll update tomorrow with the first real chapter probably sometime around noon is my goal, but until then…
