A/N- Hey guys, I know I should be working on 10 TIHAY right now but I just had a few ideas I had to get out. I want to make a full story out of this but I wanted to know how yall liked the beginning before I did anything else with it. Before you start this is not a story from 1st to 7th year, I just wanted to clear something up, then it's going to go strait to 7th year.

- Chapter 1- It Starts-
Lily Evans shivered as a bucket of cold water was emptied on her. She woke up, sputtering and swearing quite a bit for an eleven-year-old girl.
"Sorry, but it was the only way I knew to wake you up." A girl in her dorm she knew as Jessi, thanks to the sorting hat, apologized as she sat the bucket down on the floor. "You didn't seem like the type who would want to be late on the first day." She added, walking back to her own bed.
"And the bathroom's free." She called.
Lily took a deep breath, her now wet red hair curling slightly in places the water from the bucket had only manage to graze. She opened her emerald eyes and placed her feet on the floor. She walked into the bathroom and looked into the mirror.
What greeted her was a girl, a beautiful one, even if she couldn't see it, one that would one day grow into a lovely woman. But to Lily, her hair made it so she could never just blend into the crowd, and her eyes were, as Petunia gratefully reminded her, puke green.
If her thoughts on her looks weren't enough, she had been woken during the night by some bloody blue creature that was blowing in her ear. She didn't go back to sleep for a long time, afraid it would return. After an hour of not sleeping she had looked the creature up in one of her books and found it to be a poltergeist, just great.
And then to be awoken by a splash of cold water, it was turning out to be a hell of a first day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, wasn't it.
She sighed audibly, turning on the shower and preparing to relieve herself of the goosebumps that had formed when she was awakened.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hello, Lily, isn't it?" The girl that had waken her asked about an hour later, in the Great Hall.
Lily nodded as Jessi looked her over a bit.
"Are you sick?" She asked, as Lily was still shivering and had her cloak wrapped tightly around her while everyone else around them had removed theirs.
"No, just cold." Lily said, helping herself to the hottest foods she could find. "The water in the showers were cold and I couldn't remember the warming charm, I don't think first years are suppose to do magic anyway." She said, feeling much better after eating an odd-looking pie type food.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have splashed you with water this morning, you just wouldn't wake up." Jessi said.
"It's alright, I'm feeling better now anyway Jessi." Lily said, whatever she had eaten had warmed her greatly, she took off her cloak and smiled.
"You can call me Jess, if you ever get tired of Jessi." Jessi said, turning to her own food.
"Thanks." Lily said, smiling.

"Welcome, first years, to Transfiguring." A strict-looking woman said, straitening her spectacles slightly. Everyone sat down abruptly, as they knew from the previous day this was not a teacher to act up in front of.
"I am Professor McGonagal." She said shortly. "I can teacher you many things, if you are willing to learn that is." She said, eyeing two boys who were whispering.
"Now, we will start today off with simply getting use to our wands." She said, looking at them expectantly. "Get a partner and try a few beginning spells from chapter 2."
Lily looked at Jessi, the only friend she had managed to make as of yet, who nodded.
"What do you want to try?" Jessi asked, flipping through the book. Lily shrugged.
Suddenly, with a crack and a slight scream, Lily was on the floor, her chair crumpled beneath her.
"Are you ok Lily?" Jessi asked, jumping up and helping Lily to her feet.
Giggles and titters chorused through the room. Which was followed by full out laughing, lead by the two boys who had been talking earlier.
"Who did this?" McGonalgal asked, her eyes flashing, it seemed she did not like the fact her class had been disrupted on the first day, especially in this manner.
"I did Professor." Called one of the boys, the one with messy hair and glasses, who was looking quite proud of himself.
"Mr. Potter, detention." She said shortly, summoning another chair for Lily.
"I bet your found that highly amusing." Lily whispered to the boy as soon as the Professor was out of earshot.
"Of course, it was quite funny, don't you agree Sirius?" He asked his handsome friend, who nodded solemnly.
"Quite funny Jamesie my boy."
"Don't call me that." He said, then turned to Lily. "It's James, not Jamesie." He added, grinning at her.
"And what was the purpose of ruining my first day?" Lily asked.
"All come on, Evans is it, it was all in fun." James said.
She glared at him. "I found nothing funny about it, Potter." She said simply. "Infact I hated it, and I hate you."
And so it was, she hated him, for the next 6 years she hated him. She hated him even when she became good friends with one of his best mates, Remus Lupin, thanks to Prefect duties. She hated him even when he discovered girls and presumably she was better than them all in his eyes. She hated him everytime he asked her out, everytime he kissed her (which he was slapped for thank you very much), she hated him, his rival grades, his good looks, the fact he thought himself so above everyone else. Mostly, she hated the fact he was who he was, even if she couldn't explain why she hated who he was, anymore than she could explain why she was suddenly so attracted to him.

I know, super short but it's just the beginning, I wanted some quick reviews so I would know whether or not to continue. I promise the following chapter, if any, will be longer. Thanks~~~Mystery
