Halloween Years 1-4

This is my Halloween Story, That I am just going to add into here. This is years 1-4, and the next chapter will be 5-7. I hope you like it!

Year One:

Lily woke up to the smell of pumpkins. She breathed in the smell, and sighed, smiling. Halloween was her absolute favorite time of year. She got up, and quietly got ready. Mary MacDonald, Marlene McKinnon, Alice Prewett, and Casi Heartworth, her roommates, were still asleep. Lily loved Halloween, even more than Christmas. There was just something special in the air. It wasn't freezing, but wasn't hot. She left the dorm, and walked down to the Common Room. One person was in there.

"Hullo, James." (I think, before James started annoying her, that Lily would be nice to him) Lily said. James turned around from his seat on the comfy armchair by the fire.

"Hullo, Lily." Lily walked over and sat down next to him. "You're up early."

"I couldn't help it. It's my favorite holiday." Lily said. "When I was little, I couldn't wait for Halloween. I spent all month planning my costume. Once, when I was five, I was even a witch. Wand and everything." James laughed at the irony.

"I've always loved it too." James admitted. "It was a day I could be anything I dreamed of." Their little conversation was cut short by Sirius bounding down the stairs.

"Fancy seeing you here Lily!" Sirius grinned.

"Oh, Sirius." Lily muttered. "Well, bye, James. I think I really better go wake Marlene, Alice, Mary and Casi up."

"Bye, Lily." James said, and Lily went back up the stairs. Both of them would remember the conversation for the rest of their lives, the first time they really talked civilly.

Year Two:

"AGG! Potter!" Lily screamed as she stalked down the corridor. (James and Lily aren't really friends anymore, he has just started being really annoying.

"Yes, Evans?" James said, running away from her. He smirked.

"What HAVE you done to Sev?" She yelled, beginning to run. James sped up.

"Nothing!" He said laughing.

"If NOTHING means DYING HALF OF HIS HAIR ORANGE, then yes, you did nothing!" Lily yelled, trying to catch up. James had a mad idea, and suddenly stopped. Lily went crashing into him and fell down. "POTTER!" she yelled.

"Need help, Evans?" James asked, offering his hand.

"Sure." Lily took his hand, but instead of getting up, pulled him down too.

"Ugg, Evans, really?" James groaned. Lily got up and brushed herself off. She began to laugh evilly, and run away. James quickly got off, and chased after him. Lily run out of the castle. James followed. "And by the way, Evans, I didn't do it! I just helped. Sirius did it!" James called.

"Same difference!" Lily called back, not slowing down. "You just had to do that. And on Halloween!"

"It was easy. I mean, half of his greasy head was already black." James shrugged. "I really have never seen greasier hair." Lily turned around so fast, and whipped her wand out.

"Don't insult my friends again!" She said.

"Okay, Okay, Evans. Snivelly is too hard to resist, though." James said.

"I MEAN IT!" Lily shouted. James laughed, and began to run after her again. They chased each other around for while, not seeing the black haired boy standing in the shadows, looking sadly at Lily. Even though she said she didn't like him, Snape could see that one day she would. He vowed to do everything in his power to stop that day.
