A/N: I do not own the Harry Potter characters, Jo does. All characters in this fic that are not in the book are MINE.
The Thoughts of Lily Evans
Normally, I, Lily Evans, would never write in a diary. No, I wound not stoop so low as to take up the fad of the 1st year girls at Hogwarts, and write my thoughts to a stranger. Technically, a diary is not a stranger, but many refer to their diaries as people, and I do not know my diary, so it is obviously a stranger. But, I can’t even tell my best friends, Marley Prewitt, Alice Bones, and Sarah McKinnon, my thought process. I cannot tell them what goes on in my head. So now you shall know, my diary.
I’ll start with the basics. My name is Lily Evans; I go to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Yes, I am a witch. I am what most people call Muggle-born, and what the extremely rude call Mudblood, a witch or wizard born from a family with no magic history. I have a sister, Petunia, who is not worth mentioning very often, and my two wonderful parents. I also have my wonderful friends, Marles, Ali, and Sarah.
I am in Gryffindor house. At Hogwarts there are four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. But I really should get to my thoughts, after all, you are not a baby, nor are you someone who has been in this world only a couple years.
I will start with my day. I know I sound terribly boring, but I’ve never written in a diary before, and I really don’t know what to write.
Morning
Charms: Professor Flitwick awarded 5 points to Gryffindor for my good work in Charms. So my day started out pretty good.
Defense Against the Dark Arts: Well, Professor Rowans talked to us about different dangerous creatures. Frankly, I thought that should have been told to us in Care of Magical Creatures, in 3rd year.
Break: Talked to Marles, Ali, and Sarah. Marles has been eyeing Sirius Black, Potter’s infamous accomplice. (Oh, I forgot to tell you about Potter. James Potter is the most insufferable git in the history of the Wizarding World. He says he does everything for me, but it’s only the attention he wants.)
Potions: Potions ruined my day. Snape spilled half his potion on my shoes and robes, ruined them, and then Potter started singing that ridiculous song, “A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love.”
Lunch: Nothing special.
Afternoon
Transfiguration: Professor McGonagall showed us how to turn a toothpick into a pin. My toothpick turned into metal, but it didn’t quite look like a pin. Potter turned his toothpick into a pin.
It is 7:32, after dinner, and I should really start on my homework, I have Astronomy tonight, and I’ll be way too tired to do homework after Astronomy. Marles wants me to revise her essay for her, and Ali and Sarah are playing Gobstones. Marles is continuing to bug me, so I said,
“Marles, can’t you see I’m writing here?”
“Well, sorry, I just wanted you to look over my essay, Lils.”
That made me feel bad, so I apologized to her, and we’re all ok now.
I really need a new way of recording my thoughts, I am such a dull boring person. I should ask Marles, she’s an exciting person.
“Marles, how can I be less boring when I write? Professor Binns is less boring than I am.”
“Lils, don’t abuse yourself,” Ali called, before being squirted in the face by one of Sarah’s Gobstones, “We wouldn’t have you any other way.”
“But Ali, I sound like a 90 year old lady telling her grandchild what she did that day! Here! Read it!” I screeched, getting desperate.
“NO! Lils, are you insane?” Sarah said, stopping me from throwing my diary to Ali. “That is your diary, you can’t let anyone else read it!”
“But Sarah, there’s nothing in here! It’s only about me, like my basic facts, what happened today, and me being mad at Potter!” I shouted a bit too loudly.
“What’s that about me, Evans?” Potter yelled across the Common Room.
“Shut up! Go back to your planning with Sirius, Potter!” I yelled back. All my friends simply rolled their eyes.
“Lily, you do realize that one day, when you’re an old lady, and married to Potter, you’re going to laugh abo-,” Marley started, before I interrupted her.
“What?! M-m-married…to…P-P-Potter?! Are you insane, Marles? Do I need to send you to Madam Pomfrey?” I stuttered, completely shocked.
“Just relax and listen to your friend, Lily, honey. It will happen trust me, it will. Your friend there has some Seer in her,” Potter called, while Sirius and Peter sniggered.
“Shut it, you insufferable git!” I screeched at him.
“Lils, calm down!” Ali whimpered. “If you don’t, we’re all going to fail Astronomy!”
“Yeah, Lily, honey, listen to Ali. We are going to fail Astronomy if you don’t help us finish our essays!” Sarah and Marley chimed in.
“Oh alright,” I said, giving in to them.
Much Later
I am so tired. I just got back from Astronomy, and it’s now about 11:56. Potter better not bug me right now, I’m so tired, I would go mad if he bugged me now. Marles is asleep on the sofa and Ali is nodding of in the armchair next to mine. But I have to write, I just can’t sleep, even though I’m so tired.
You’re probably wondering, where’s Sarah? She’s upstairs in the dormitory, taking a shower, brushing her teeth, sleeping, or something like that. I’m too tired to care. But I must write.
I’ll tell you a little more about my friends. Let’s start with Marles. Marley is extremely flirty and silly, even though we’re all only 11. She, and her twin sister Molly, who I think is much less silly, but still quite silly, but then again, who am I to be talking? I’m plenty silly. Anyways, Molly and Marles both have really red hair. Like, as red as red hair gets. There twin brothers, Gidion and Fabian also have red hair, but they’re not like Molly and Marles. I think they’re prats.
Ali is much quieter. She is also the shortest out of the four of us, but I am second shortest. Frank Longbottom, a quiet boy, with a funny last name, has been eyeing Ali for some time now, but Ali isn’t into boys yet. I think it’ll be a while before she turns into mini-Marley. Not that she looks like Marles. Ali has dark brown hair and light brown eyes. In general, her hair and eyes are very brown.
Last, but most certainly not least, is Sarah. Sarah comes from a very prominent pureblood family. What kind of disgusts me, no, what really disgusts me, is that all purebloods are inbred. Like, her mother is her father’s fifth cousin, three times removed or something like that. Potter and his accomplice, Sirius, are also pureblood. In fact, the Blacks are the most pureblood family in the history of the Wizarding World. But that’s not the point. The McKinnons are pureblood also. Sarah is really nice, with kinky, blonde hair, and large blue eyes. Marles, Ali, and I think she has a crush on Remus Lupin, another of the infamous Marauders, but we aren’t sure. But, but, we do know for a fact that Remus has a crush on Sarah.
Well, the page is really starting to blur, probably from me being so tired. Goodnight, diary.
Lily Evans
A/N: This is fic is supposed to follow Lily through first year, possibly all the way through Hogwarts. I am planning on making a fic like this for Ginny Weasley, and Hermione Granger. I would try Harry and Ron, but boys are beyond me.
