A/N: I do not own the characters, only the plot.
This is my first fanfic story and I'm pretty bad at writing, so don't be too hard on me! PLEASE R&R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chapter 1
"Come on, hurry up," Lily called impatiently to her friend Ally. "I'm starving!"
"Hang on, I'm almost done," Ally replied in an exasperated voice.
Lily folded her arms and leaned against the door frame. Ally always spent so much time fixing her hair. Lily couldn't understand why, since her hair was already perfect and gorgeous.
Both girls were sixth year students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Lily was sixteen and Ally, who had recently had her birthday, was seventeen. Both were very attractive and smart. Lily was tall and slender, with long dark red hair, vivid green eyes, and fair skin. Ally had curly dark brown hair, tan skin, and large sapphire eyes. She was also tall, but curvier than Lily. They were both in Gryffindor and had been best friends since their first year at Hogwarts.
When Ally was finished fixing her hair, both girls ran down to the Great Hall for breakfast. They sat together with Nadia Prewitt and Kate Jones, their other best friends.
"Good morning," Ally sang in a cheery voice.
"God, what took you so long?" Nadia asked.
"The usual," said Lily.
"Why do you even bother," Kate asked, flipping her long blonde hair over her shoulder and taking a bite of oatmeal. "You're already gorgeous."
"No, I'm not," Ally said.
"Yes, you are," the other three replied.
"No"
"Yes."
"Whatever," Ally relented. They had this conversation almost every morning.
"Hey, EVANS!"
It was James Potter, who was sitting a few seats down from them. Lily just glared at him. He reached up and began messing with his hair, causing Lily to glare even harder.
"Hey, Evans, will you go out with me?" he yelled.
"Let me think about that…" Lily said, pulling a mock-thoughtful face. "Hmmm…No. Stop asking me!"
"Aww, come on, Evans. You know you want to."
"Oh, suuuuuure," said Lily sarcastically. "Like you would ever know that." She turned away.
"God, he's soooo annoying!"
"Why don't you go out with him?" Kate asked. "Any other girl would die to go out with him. Besides, if you say yes, he'd stop bothering you." She ducked as Lily threw a handful of cereal across the table at her.
"Why would I ever go out with an arrogant prat like James Potter?"
"Did I hear my name over here?" James said from behind Lily. He had gotten up and walked over to where they were sitting.
"Nope, definitely not," Lily spat.
"Ooooh, temper," said James with a grin. "That's such a turn-on."
"Shut up and leave me alone."
"Okay, dearest. See you later." He waved, still grinning, and walked back to his seat.
"Soooo annoying…" Lily complained.
An owl flew down and landed in front of her. She detached the letter from its leg and it flew off.
"Ooooh, good!" she exclaimed, opening the letter. "It's from Mum!" She began reading while the others finished eating and got ready to go to class. Suddenly…
"WHAT?!" Lily cried, her jaw dropping, a look of horror on her face.
"What?" her friends asked.
"Oh my God…" she replied in shock, handing the letter to Ally, who snatched it and began reading it to the others.
"Dear Lily,
Hope school's going well for you. Summer's almost here, so hang in there. How are your friends? Are you preparing for your exams yet?
Speaking of summer, you know how we have been very good friends with the Potters for a long time. Well, you'll be pleased to know that they have invited us to their summer home at the beach over the holidays. It's going to be so much fun. You'll be able to hang out with your friend James the whole summer.
Love you,
Mum."
"WHAT?!"
Lily groaned with her face in her hands. "I'm going to kill myself! A whole summer with HIM?!"
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry," exclaimed Ally, giving her a huge hug. "That's going to suck sooo badly!"
"Guys, we should probably get going to class," said Nadia, checking her watch. "Lily, I'm sooo sorry…"
Lily was in shock all the way to History of Magic class. She didn't pay one bit of attention to Professor Binns' lecture, but spent the whole time in deep conversation with her friends, who were all offering her advice.
"If he tries to do anything, throw him in the ocean."
"Ask if you can bring one of us with you."
"Don't go near him unless there's someone else with you guys."
"Find another guy while you're there and make him really jealous."
Lily groaned again and banged her head on her desk. "Someone shoot me, PLEASE!"
"Hey, Evans," whispered James, who was sitting right behind Lily. "Excited about this summer? It's going to be so much fun!"
"Shut up," Lily hissed back in a whisper.
"We can do all kinds of stuff together!" James continued. "Romantic walks on the beach, hot tub, swimming…OUCH!" Lily had just thrown her eraser at him, which hit him hard in the head.
"God, my summer is completely RUINED!" she complained to her friends.
So, did you like it? Should I keep writing, or should I trash it?
