Well, I'm Caitlin. This is my millionth fan fiction but I think it's got a great start.

The Flavor of the Week is a novel focused on Lily Evans’ final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She’s thrown into a hazy mess of battling wars with her grades, responsibilities with being a Head Girl, and a blossoming romance that she’s not even sure she’s ready for. Finally, when she thinks she’s gotten things figured out, everything turns for the worst. Follow Lily through a rushing path of fear, happiness, anger, hate, frustration, and even love.

There were three things my mother had always told me as I was growing up: live a life full of laughter, love with all of my heart, and read non-stop. In fact, that was me. I wasn’t the type for love but I definitely had my laughs and I cherished reading.

I loved my life, but as I sat under an umbrella to shield myself from the bristling sun, I couldn’t help wondering if I wanted more. More what? I thought semi-consciously. Before I could ponder the case any farther, a girl pulled a seat up next to me. My train of thought evaporated as the stuck her pinkie finger in my ice cream.

“Hey,” I laughed, throwing a napkin at her. “Get your own.”

“Yeah, with what money?” she rolled her eyes and ate, despite my protests.

Deciding that I wasn’t that hungry anyway, I tried to continue to read (though my previous attempts were useless due to my wandering train of thought.) This time proved the same.

“What’re you reading?”

“Toadstool Tales, by Beatrix Bloxam.”

“Okay, let me rephrase that,” Marie sighed, tucking a long strand of her black hair behind her ear. “Why are you reading? It’s the last day of your vacation and your senior year is coming up. Do you know how many guys are here? Come on, live a little!”

“Uh!” I replied in disgust. “I live just fine, thanks.”

“Hey, Evans! EVANS!” a boy called from across the street. He jogged over, shaking his messy black hair around pointlessly. “What’s that you’ve got your nose buried in? It’s the last day before school starts and you’re already trying to read the whole booklist?”

“Thank you!” Marie grinned, happy that someone else was trying to make the same point clear.

“Shove off, Potter.” I replied, not taking my eyes away from the book.

“I will if you’ll go out with me.”

“Oh, yes, real romantic.” I snapped the novel shut. “You come over, not bothering to acknowledge the fact that I have a first name, insult my habits, and then ask me to date you when in fact, your girlfriend is with Sirius Black in the Three Broomsticks. How persuading.”

With that said, I rolled my eyes and stormed down the street, Marie reluctantly trailing at my heels.

“Wait, Lily, just wait!” Marie called, gasping for breath. “He was just-”

I wheeled around, fire burning in my eyes. “Don’t you dare stand up for him. You know just as well as I that he’s an arrogant little brat with too much money and not enough brains.”

“Maybe he’s changed. I think he really does like you. That’s what, the millionth time he’s asked you out?”

“Yes, and could he be any more insensitive with it?” I questioned, leading the way into The Leaky Cauldron. “What does he just expect me to do, just fall at his feet? Well I won’t; I’m not like every other girl, nor do I intend to be.”

After entering the room I was staying in, I barely let Marie in before I slammed the door.

That was their third time. Once with Mr. Orson, and on a previous mission... the one where they all ended up having their wands pointed at each other. Though Voldemort wasn't there, they still technically defied him- after all, was Bellatrix and Avery not working in his league? Say a person is working for a comany and they mess up- who ultimatley gets punished? The boss. Same here... cha? & Thankf for the four hearts! lol! I've nenver had four before, either!

I love my readers. *tacklehug*

the.time.is.now · 06-23-2006, 12:23 AM

1,200 POSTS! WOO HOO! We so rule!

& Someone had previously asked if they knew if anyone had ever reached 100,000 posts on their story before. Not that I know of- but you guys know what? On Fate, I think that should be our goal! :] That would be so awesome!!

Yay! Wonderful post, can't wait for more!

HPlover_09 · 06-23-2006, 04:19 PM

This is such an awesome story.........I don't want it to end! *sobs*

Anyway, how many more posts do you think you are going to do?

the.time.is.now · 06-23-2006, 04:22 PM

Yay you all rule!

Rose- Pass some of that Peter over- I ran out of pickles last night && I'm hungry!

Katie- I'm really not sure. For all I know, then next post could be the ending. IDK yet...

On Fate, though, I want to get at LEAST 50,000 replies! He he! That means a LOT of readers! You'll all spread the word about it, right?

Yasminalina · 06-23-2006, 04:31 PM

Sure we would! But it can't reach 50,000 replies just so you know. The maximum replies for one thread is 4,000. So, if you reach 4,000 the Admins and Mods will close it down and you'll have to continue your story in another thread. Just because when a thread is too big, it gets harder for them to delete it. That's all.

Ohh, and don't worry. I can get you so many readers! w00t.

Can I have some Peter, too?

I can't wait for you next post! ♥

the.time.is.now · 06-23-2006, 04:46 PM

Oh, really? I actually didn't know that at all! I was wondering why threads just suddenly stop, lol! Well, I guess I can settle for just 4,000 posts! :] lol!

*hands over some Peter*

Have as much as your heart desires. We don't mind! :]

Yasminalina · 06-23-2006, 04:49 PM

That's a good number, I'll hopefully try to make you reach it. Just tell us as soon as it's up so I can tell some of my friends about it!

Oh, thank you. *munches on the icky Peter*

Are you posting today?

Sama · 06-23-2006, 06:44 PM
