Title: The Legacy Trilogy: Something About You

Version: Revised

Rating: PG-14

Author's Note: Well, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I finally decided to start revising this. I just hated the first half, or more, of the story, so before I add anymore on to the end, I'm going to completely revise the story. You will notice some major changes, and some smaller ones, but I hope that they will all be for the better! Thank you!

Lily Marie Evans awoke in a cold sweat. She tore open the blood red hangings around her four poster bed and peered around the semi darkness of the dormitory with her bright green eyes. She brushed some red hair away from her forehead and slipped out of bed, the light from the waning moon shining brightly and illuminating her surroundings. The door to the girls dormitory was open, letting a draft from the common room downstairs sweep across the stone ground of the ancient castle.

It was then that she noticed her two best friends, Kate Walters and Chelsea Pendragon, sitting up in their own beds and looking at her curiously.

"I heard something," Lily mouthed, creeping towards the door. The took a deep breath and then quickly leaned out of the dormitory, holding on to the door frame to make it easier to pull back in if need be.

And she was met by the stares of four disheveled boys, who had obviously tried to climb up the enchanted girls staircase to play a prank. She glared down at them and the four boys waved cheerily.

"And to what do I owe this little late-night visit?" she asked, mocking surprise. "You boys fancy a chat?" She drew out her wand from the pocket of her pajamas and fingered it lovingly. One boy, with handsome dark hair and sparkling blue eyes smirked at her through the darkness.

"Hey, Evans," he said nonchalantly.

"Hi Lily!" said another boy. She squinted at him, although it was rather unnecessary, considering he was the only Marauder who was short and fat.

"Hello, Sirius, Peter," she sighed, rolling her emerald orbs at the boys.

Yet another one, this time with light brown hair and gray eyes, smiled up at her, a twinkle in his knowing eyes.

"Hey, Remus," Lily said, her manner softening. He was the only one out of the four boys, the Marauders, she liked and got along with...well, perhaps besides Sirius Black. No one could stay mad at him for long, unless they were part of his family.

And the last boy, the one with messy jet-black hair and liquid amber eyes, she just detested him. James Henry Potter. One whom she'd eventually end up spending the rest of her life with. If you had told Lily Evans that she would get married to the boy and even have his kid, she would have laughed and checked you into St. Mungos Hospital for Magical Maladies!

"Potter," Lily said curtly to the last boy. She threw her a lopsided grin.

"Evans."

"Well, now, all of you, perhaps you should get to bed before I decide to, oh, I don't know, curse you all into oblivion?" She chuckled sardonically. The four boys nodded hurriedly, not wanting to get on Lily Evans's bad side at this time of night. God only knows what she could turn them into.

"All righty, almighty one!" Sirius said, saluting her. She laughed.

"Oh, go to bed, Sirius!"

"Right-o! Come on, peoples, we gots a sleepy war to fight!" he yelled, pulling the boys back across the common room and up the stairs to the boys dormitory. Lily heard three choruses of "shh" and "be quiet" before she walked back into her own dormitory and closing the door.

When Lily Evans finally went to sleep that night, she was actually hoping that they would play a prank on them, just so she and her friends could prank them back. The two groups of Fifth Year Gryffindors at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry generally got along well, well, when they weren't arguing of pulling pranks on each other. It was just Lily and James's animosity towards each other that kept the two groups from truly merging.

And as Lily drifted off to sleep that night, she couldn't help but think about that messy-haired boy with glasses who plagued her days and nights, a picture of his face following her everywhere except in her dreams...sometimes.

Again Lily woke with a start, but now it was morning and the Scottish sun was shining through the window, bathing her bed in sunshine. Something dripped on to her head and she lifted a hand to fell what it was.

Eww, who was the idiot who put honey on the ceiling? she wondered sleepily.

It was then that it really hit her.

Who was the goddamn idiot that put HONEY on the ceiling?!

"James Potter!!! I will get you for putting honey in my hair!" she bellowed, sure that the boys could hear her through the walls. "Curse you! CURSE YOU!!!"

Lily and her two friends got ready quickly that morning, though it took extra time to wash out all the honey that the four boys had poured in their hair the night before. They hurried out of the dormitory and on to the platform before the steps. By the time they noticed what was happening, the Marauders had stepped on the last step and the whole staircase turned into a slide. The girls shrieked and waved their arms around wildly, trying to catch a hold of something.

Whoosh!

Kate did a sort of fast run down the steps, thereby catching Sirius in the stomach and sending them tumbling backwards and over the couch in front of the fireplace. Kate slapped him on the back of the head and stood up. Sirius grinned and rolled off the couch, falling painfully on his bottom on the floor.

Chelsea went speeding down the slide and closed her eyes, preparing herself for the hard impact of the floor...or the couch...or that desk over in the corner..... Instead she ran in to something soft. She felt strong arms wrap around her and they both tumbled to the floor. She peaked through her light lashes to make sure it was over and breathed a sigh of relief when her grey-blue orbs met those of Remus Lupin's.

Lily, on the other hand, wanted revenge. She chuckled evilly and bent down a bit. As she was about to crash at the bottom, she threw her arms around James's legs and brought them out from under the boy so he fell as well. She laughed and got up, brushing herself off. James jumped up and glared at the redhead.

"The Marauders always get the last laugh!" he said cockily. "So, HA!"

Lily smirked and slapped him. He took a step back and rubbed his cheek, wincing slightly.

"Not this time, Potter!" she said in a singsong voice before beckoning to her two friends and waltzing out of the common room.

As Peter was still laughing at his friends' expense, Sirius stepped up next to James.

"That's one hell of a woman, Prongs. One damn fine hell of a woman," he said quietly. James ran a hand through his hair and nodded.

"Oh yes. I agree wholeheartedly with you, Padfoot. One hell of a woman!"
