Mischief Managed

Story Summary:

AU. It all happened fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: James Potter had truly seen Lily Evans for the arrogant, stuck up woman she truly is. So what happens when James sets his eyes upon another person and Lily Evans gets jealous? Add in three other Marauders, a fiery red head and her three friends, a dark threat rising in the Wizarding World, and a wacky Headmaster and you get the life of the Marauders.

Author's Note:

All right, my first Harry Potter fanfic. I honestly think that the Story Summary kind of sucked, but oh well. I was intending on jumping directly into the story, but instead I decided to make this page the SS/AN/D page. I have to admit though that I really wanted my mind to generate ideas before I began writing. Any ideas are welcome and I would like to here your criticism, constructive or non. I hope to make adjustments to fit the story better and I will hold polls as to certain major changes in the story. I do not, nor do I pretend, to know everything in the Harry Potter world, so there will be mistakes. Be sure to Read and Review constantly, I will do my best to answer each and every one of your questions.

Thank You,

P.S – I will probably go through with the idea of Lily bashing.

I do not own anything in the Harry Potter universe.

POLLS:

This poll is for James's love life/dating. The possibilities are:

James Potter / Alice Gourdon [Gryffindor 5th Year]

James Potter / Katie Alling [Gryffindor 5th Year]

James Potter / Crystal Brookes [Gryffindor 5th Year]

James Potter / Maggie Paige [Hufflepuff 5th Year]

James Potter / Courtney McMichael [Ravenclaw 5th Year]

James Potter / Kelly Cook [Ravenclaw 5th Year]

For the sole purpose of this POLL, I will describe each of the OC females:

Alice Gourdon:

Age: 15

Birthday: June 5th

Eye Color: Blue-Green

Hair Color: Blonde; bouncy curls

Description: Cute. Has a round face. Is extremely selfless and puts others before herself. She is one of Lily Evans's best friends since first year. She is also very shy. Blushes a lot. She is also patient and does not mind explaining things to people a fourth time.

Katie Alling:

Age: 15

Birthday: February 10th

Eye Color: Hazel

Hair Color: Dark Brown; straight

Description: Loves Quidditch and is one of James's teammates on the Gryffindor Quidditch Team; her position is Seeker. She is also one of Lily Evans's friends though they started much later due to an accidental "bump-in" on the train on the first day. Is considered quite the catch, had a male actually had the chance to get a date with her. Is loud and stands up for her beliefs. She also has a quite perverse side if you really know her.

Crystal Brookes:

Age: 15

Birthday: April 13th

Eye Color: Sky Blue

Hair Color: Dirty Blonde; extremely straight

Description: Quite beautiful. Very impatient and is the voice of Lily's Group. Dislikes Sirius Black for unknown reasons. Thinks that Remus is sweet and is a gentleman. Is Lily Evans's closest, best friend.

Maggie Paige:

Age: 15

Birthday: August 4th

Eye Color: Dark Brown

Hair Color: Dark Brown; curly

Description: Is a little dim but considered near clever by Hufflepuff standards. She is extremely flirtatious and has a reputation of being a "bad girl" at Hogwarts. Guys that dated usually brag to their friends about the "good time" she had given them.

Courtney McMichael:

Age: 15

Birthday: May 11th

Eye Color: Baby Blue

Hair Color: Dyed Brown; straight

Description: Quiet and shy. Loves to read Muggle books and has plenty to keep her busy. Rarely dates and if she does they are usually long term. Is searching for the "one" of her dreams.

Kelly Cook:

Age: 15

Birthday: March 27th

Eye Color: Warm Brown with specks of Hazel

Hair Color: Brown; elegant curls

Description: Extremely shy. Doesn't normally talk unless a teacher asks her a direct question. Has been asked out many times but denied all. Hasn't had a date or a kiss in her life [besides her parents of course.]

***

And that's the end of the descriptions. Also, if you pick one Lily's best friends, please provide a scenario besides James going up to ask one of them to go with him out of pure spite.

I will probably update this story on a minimum of three days. It depends on if I am in a writing mood as I am now. I will try to make each chapter full of details and any questions/concerns to what happen and I will revise that section.
