Disclaimer (for the entire story): I do own Harry Potter. That's all there is to it.

Drum roll please! Here the story I promised! For those of you who didn't read An Extreme Summer Marauder Style, you can still read this one. It would make more sense to read the other first, but you can read this one separately, they don't depend on each other.

Oh, Merry (late) Christmas to all of you, Happy (also late) New Year, Happy (is everything late?) Birthday to me, and if any of you have had a birthday in the Christmas season, MERRY NEW BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Okay, I'm done now.

WAIT! (I know, I need to shut up) Thank you Lara, for helping me come up with the most random stuff imaginable! Okay, now that is all.

Seriously.

Chapter 1: Sirius Combustion

We are late. We are headed to the train station about a half an hour late! Whose fault is this, you may be wondering. Sirius Black and his stupid hair!

Yes, we are having all this trouble because his hair wouldn't stay the way he wanted it to! But did he just use magic? No, he "didn't think of it". Instead he kept us waiting for forever and then realizes that he, in fact, can use magic. Arrogant, mental, pratty boys!

When we finally arrived at Kings Cross Station, and we just crossed over to the platform the clock rang eleven o'clock. When people tell you 'Don't be late!' listen, and don't be late! The train was rolling before our eyes. Leaving us. Leaving the head boy and girl, and all of their friends behind. Leaving us there without a second thought.

"Come on!" James called over his shoulder as he ran to jump onto the train, which was now gaining speed.

We all ran, seeing as we didn't have much choice if we wanted to get to school. One problem occurred through this plan. We can't carry our bags while running. So now we are standing, panting, in a moving train, the doors still wide open, without our bags!

"My bag!" Shay cried.

"Don't worry, I have a plan," Sirius said as he raised his wand before us. Before we knew what he was going to do, and before we could stop him, he raised the wand and said, "Accio bags!"

Now, this sounds like a good idea. The only problem was that the bags didn't know, and had no way of finding out where the door was, and moving at top speed, they all smashed into the side of the train, only one, mine, coming into the compartment, crashing, sending all of us to the floor in an injured heap. I felt clothes, shoes, and all of my other possessions being thrown into the compartment, some landing to the floor with a thump, others, the clothes, landed softly.

We felt the train jerk to a halt. I could smell smoke, which must have come from the train.

I opened my eyes cautiously, unsure whether I wanted to see the result of my bag's explosion in the compartment. I was devastated. All of my stuff, underwear and all were thrown around the compartment. I noticed one pair of my underwear sitting on Peter's head, my bra lying in James' lap. I wanted to close my eyes, fall asleep, and start this day over again.

"Lily, I found your favorite underwear!" Yvonne said, holding up a pair of blue and white striped underwear that, were indeed, my favorite. I felt my face turn scarlet, and I attempted to hide in one of my sweaters.

Before I got my head into the sweater, I heard a loud voice, "Sirius Black, get to the front of the train immediately!" they were definitely mad. "Everyone else please exit the train onto the platform."

We all got out onto the platform. I stood there, staring at the train, which Sirius must have been the first person to make explode. Yes, Sirius made the train explode. The train was now a heap of parts and people attempting to fix it. The air was still thick with smoke, and more smoke was steadily pouring from the train.

As people started averting their eyes from the wreck, I noticed they were looking astonished at something else. Someone else. Me. What did I do? Why was everyone staring at me?

Peter still had my underwear on his head when a girl from our year came to talk to me.This was even stranger because I didn't talk to her, ever. She was too ditzy to talk to.

"Something about you has changed, Lily," she said, staring at me for a solid minute before exclaiming, "You cut your hair!"

I was amazed at how stupid this girl could be, and decided to be nasty, "No shit Sherlock!" I said in my best imitating of a preppy person. My friends were laughing, as I turned away from the girl and started closer to them.

"Who's Sherlock?" I heard her call after me. Remus and Yvonne were the only to understand my muggle phrase, being raised in half muggle families, and they were laughing at the girl's expression, as was I.

About ten minutes later, Sirius came back with a pouty face. "They gave me detention!" he complained.

"What did they give you detention for?" Peter asked, very, very stupidly. Does he get smart over the summer and then lose it when school starts?

"Oh, I don't know Peter," I said sarcastically, "Maybe blowing up the god damn train!" I roared, cause many people to stare at me as if I were crazy.

"Really? You blew up the train? When?" Peter asked.

We all stared at him blankly, not comprehending how one person could be so stupid. Finally, James said, "While you were sleeping, Peter."

"You came here last night?" He asked, amazed. He must be way out of it today.

"Yeah, Pete, I sleepwalked." Sirius said sarcastically.

"And they still gave you detention?" Peter asked.

Sirius sighed, "Just take Lily-flowers underwear off of your head!" he said exasperated. That was when I heard a loud chorus of laughter, and realized just how loud Sirius had said his last line.

A group of Slytherin boys, including Sev, were standing there laughing at Peter, and me.

"You have a wild night with Pettigrew, Evans?" one boy asked from afar. I went a deep crimson, and suddenly wished I had worn that sweater, or at least stayed in the exploding train.

I turned as to not look at them, this made them laugh harder. I didn't notice until the laughter stopped that anyone had left. I was so preoccupied with fighting back tears of humiliation that I didn't notice anything else around me. I felt a small hand on my shoulder, and looked to see Sonya standing next to me.

I now realized that James, Sirius, Remus, Shay, and Yvonne were all over there, ready for a fight. Sonya stayed back to be with me, and Peter was still confused about what he didn't seem to remember from the night before. Gosh he's dumb today! He could go out with the ditzy woman and they'd be a perfect match. Maybe they could understand each other!

"Lily, they're just stupid boys. Don't pay attention to them," Sonya said as she hugged me. Sonya was the perfect person to comfort you. I only flinched slightly at her touch, I noticed. I was getting better around people everyday. I smiled at the thought.

"I know, it's just…" But that was just it, what was it?

"I know. They're just stupid and we need to ignore them," she told me, and I nodded my head.

"Everyone! Please return to your compartments, we are officially leaving now!" Someone bellowed among the crowd. That was when we noticed that the train seemed to be fixed, and looked just as it had before it was rolling away from us.

"Come on," Sonya pulled me to our compartment, and we walked in. But it wasn't filled with all of my stuff. In fact, only my truck remained. I opened it, and everything was in it neatly. Just like I always had it.

"Who-." I started.

"Nope, get to your meeting! We don't want miss head girl to be late. Got your badge?" Shay said, walking in smiling.

"Yup," I said, pulling out my new badge with a large letter 'HG' on it.

"Well, put it on!" Shay demanded.

"You already saw it, I have to go," I told my friend. Then I turned and headed down the train. It was rolling along again, I noticed.

When I go to the compartment and opened the door, I was slightly embarrassed that all of the prefects and James were there already. I headed over to where James stood, and looked at the sitting prefects.

"Well Ms. Evans, the party has been waiting on you," James scolded playfully.

"Oh, how sorry I am at this moment," I said sarcastically.

"Well, I think you need to plead forgiveness," James was still playing around.

"In your dreams," I said smirking.

"Will you two stop flirting so we can get this meeting over with?" A fifth year boy from the back asked. I flushed a light pink, and James laughed.

"What's the hurry, Reg? Got a girlfriend waiting for you?" James asked the boy.

The boy's pale face flushed a light pink and he glared at James as he said, "No."

James laughed again, turning to me. "Sirius' younger brother," he explained to me.

"Oh, they look a lot alike," I said.

James laughed again, "Don't tell either of them that. They hate each other. Reg is still part of the 'family'," James explained again.

"Oh, I see. Does Reg have the charm Sirius does?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Oh, yeah. Big player," he put extra emphasis on the word 'big', and then chuckled at what must have been an old memory.

"Okay, I have a chick lined up in a half an hour! Can we get this over with?" Reg finally said, frustrated.

"Fine, fine," James said. "Ms. Evans, do you wish to give the ridiculously long speech?"

"Why, I would thoroughly enjoy that!" I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm, but I continued with the speech anyway.

"Okay, you have a list of what's off limits before you. You also have a list of times and dates you will be patrolling the corridors in the castle. You cannot give people detention "just for the heck of it"." I quoted from what James and Sirius had said when Remus became prefect. Why wasn't Remus Head Boy? Right, the speech. "You will have to communicate with one another. The list of prefect rules is there; they are all self-explanatory. You will be patrolling the corridors in the train on the way. Take about a half and hour intervals, and then get another set of prefects to take the next hour. Any questions?" I asked, finally finished.

Reg's hand twitched into the air just enough to notice before he asked, "Why do you always turn Potter down? Is he really that bad? I know he hangs out with my brother, but, what's it about him that you just seem so repulsed by?" I was seriously getting annoyed with this kid. I would definitely be mentioning this to Sirius.

"Hate to sound childish, but mind your own business. Any prefect related questions?" I asked, making myself more specific. "Okay then, you can leave." They all made their way out slowly.

"Sirius' brother is a pain in the-." I started to say on the way back to our compartment when Sirius himself interrupted me.

"What'd he do now?" He asked.

"Oh, nothing really. Just pissed Lils off," James told him, smirking at my still angry expression.

"How? Wait, where'd you see him?" Sirius asked.

"By saying words. Now if you don't mind, I'm starving," James said, shoving his friend out of the way to get back to the compartment.

"Wait, where was he?" Sirius called after his friend.

"Lily! The badge looks great! Oooo, and James! Two badges? How do you do it boy?" Shay asked with fake admiration as we walked in.

"Well, I'm a Potter. My dad was the same way," James said boastingly.

"Oh, your dad was a prat until sixth year until he finally deflated his head enough so other people could be around him?" Sonya asked without having to look up from her book. The book was reflecting the glare James gave her. The rest of us were laughing at James' attempt to glare at her.

"James!" Sirius screamed.

"Sirius!" James bellowed back.

"Where'd you see my brother?"

"He's a prefect," James said as though it were obvious.

"Him? A prefect? How?" Sirius asked.

"I don't know Sirius, I don't choose em, I just control em," James said, shoving a chocolate frog into his mouth.

Sirius scowled and kept to himself a little more the rest of the way. Nothing really happened after Sirius blew up the train. We got to the carriages, which I happen to know are pulled by thestrals which only people who have seen death can see.

Since we can't fit eight in a carriage, we did two groups of four: James, Sonya, Remus, and me, and Sirius, Shay, Yvonne, and Peter. I was assuming that Yvonne was having an awful time having to talk to Peter the entire way up, considering I was certain Sirius and Shay couldn't resist snogging another minute.

When we got into the carriage, this particular one being able to hold six, we found two people already sitting there. One was a girl in our year, Alice. She was very nice, but too quiet to really get to know. She had a boyfriend last year, but he left because he was in his seventh year. He was Frank. I felt bad for Alice, now she didn't have anyone. She was just sitting in the carriage reading a book.

The second was a sixth year boy, Xenophilius. He was just plain weird. He also didn't have many friends, but he never looked lonely.

"Hey, can we take those?" James asked the two.

Xeno looked up at us, smiled, and nodded. I found it strange that his eyes lingered on Sonya for a few extra seconds, but didn't think much of it. I walked in and sat next to Alice, Sonya next to me.

"Hi, Alice," I said to her smiling, "Did you have a nice summer?"

She looked up and smiled back. "Yeah, Frank and I hung out most of the time," she told me, then looked at the others. "Are you finally getting along with James Potter?" she asked with teasing shock.

The question caught me off guard, but I didn't think much of it, "Yeah, I was kinda stuck with him this summer and the Marauders are friends of ours now. Strange, huh?" I asked, seeing her bemused grin.

"Yes. How were your summers?" she asked the others.

"Good. Lily has the most eventful though," James said with a cooked grin.

"Really? What happened?" Alice asked, fascinated.

"James, you seem to be keen on telling the story. Why don't you?" I asked him.

He grinned, "Well, we're almost at the school, so I can't add too much detail. Why don't I just sum it up. Lily here fainted about four times; got kidnapped a few times, granted most of them were by us. Anyway, she nearly got killed by a psycho maniac, and even ran down the street nude," James said as though it were seriously entertaining.

"Really? Who was going to kill her? What happened?" I had never heard Alice talk to anyone for long periods of time, and I was sure she was a nice girl, but I was glad that we had just stopped in front of the school and that we could stop talking now.

"Sorry Alice, Yvonne has been stuck in a compartment with Peter, and Shay and Sirius were most likely snogging the whole time. We really have to go save her. Lily will tell you at the feast or tonight, I don't know what Dumbledore has planned for the heads yet," Sonya explained. Sonya my lifesaver…

"Oh, okay," Alice, said, looking a little crestfallen that the conversation had ended. "Oh, and Lily? Congrats on making head." I smiled to her. She really was a nice girl, even if there was one thing I didn't want to talk about, I understand that when you tell someone you almost died, people feel the need to know how.

"Thanks Alice. I'll definitely fill you in on my summer later," I called to her. And I headed off to find Yvonne.

We found her banging her head against the side of a carriage say "Why, why, why?" over and over. We laughed, and then noticed Peter standing next to her, blabbing away about, the upsides of being an animagus? This boy is definitely crazy. He isn't even an animagus, how would he know what the upsides were?

"Hey, Yvonne, cut it out. How was the trip?" I asked grinning.

She glared at me and then said sarcastically over Peter's still talking voice, "Wonderful!"

"Good, let's go. Sorry Pete, see you at the table!" I called as I grabbed my friend's arm and led her to the Great Hall.

"So how was your ride go?" Yvonne asked. I caught the jealousy in her tone.

"Okay, Alice and Xeno were there. Alice talked to us for a while, she probably will end up sitting with us, do you mind?" I asked, hoping the answer was no.

"I guess not. Why is she sitting with us?" Yvonne asked. For some reason it was like she and Alice held a grudge over something. Maybe I'm imagining it. I can look into it later.

"Because James got her intrigued by my summer, particularly the part where I "almost died". Plus, I feel bad for her, she doesn't have many friends, and now she doesn't even have Frank," I told my friend.

"Aren't you an angel, Lily!" Yvonne said sarcastically.

"I like to think of myself that way," I said smiling and walking ahead of the other, slower, girls.

We were some of the first at the table, and we got seats toward the end, positioning ourselves as far away from the teachers as possible. We did this because we were positive the Marauders would want a small opening prank, and they don't want to be caught. Not that it matters because any teacher in their right mind would know who it was.

I looked up at the table and noticed some new people sitting there. There were two new teachers. I recognized one of the new teachers as our old Charms teacher's daughter. She looked really strict, and her jaw seemed unusually stiff. She wasn't going to be one to mess with. And yet I was sure the Marauders couldn't wait until her calss.

The other new teacher was, well, he looked flat out strange. He was wearing about eight layers, covering from his feet to his nose, plus a hat that covered his entire head. All that showed were his eyes and a little flesh surrounding his eyes. I could tell this was going to be an interesting year for our classes already…

The Marauders still hadn't shown up when they started the sorting. The sorting ended, giving Gryffindor four new boys and three girls. We had just started eating when the Marauders, along with Shay, walked in, fashionably late. They walked straight to us at the very end of the Gryffindor table, and Dumbledore smiled at them, and continued to eat his food.

"Yum, I'm starved!" Sirius exclaimed when he got within a few feet from the table, causing mild laughter to break out. He sat down and looked at us, "What's Alice doing here?"

"Thank you, Sirius Black," Alice said in a bitter sarcasm.

"She's sitting with us, I invited her," I added, seeing the words Sirius might've said to her if I hadn't.

"I see," he said a little bitterly. James smiled at Alice, as did Remus. Peter was still talking about being a rat. I rolled my eyes at his stupidity. Sirius put a silencing charm on him, and continued eating his food, not looking as worried as he had seconds before.

"So, Lily, what happened this summer that you almost dies from?" Alice asked. I explained my summer in detail to her, and just as I finished, the meal was over. I had acquired quite an audience by this time, but Dumbledore of course didn't have trouble getting their attention back.

"Just a few last minute announcements. The Forbidden Forest is, as always, out of bounce, for those of you whose mind seems to forget this fact," Dumbledore's eye drifted to Sirius for a millisecond, and then he continued, "If you need help getting around, or help of any kind, our Head Boy and Girl, James Potter and Lily Evans are there to help you, and the Prefects will always be around. The Quidditch captains should start organizing when they will hold try outs so they can start practicing as soon as possible.

"As some of our returning students may have noticed, we have some new teachers. Professor MinervaMcGonagall will be taking post as the Transfiguration teacher and Professor Hanlinfyfe will be the new Defense against the Dark arts teacher." Dumbledore began clapping, and a few students joined in, but many were laughing. Most likely about Professor Hanlinfyfe's name, or appearance.

"You will get schedules in the morning, for now, get some rest. Though I would like to see my two heads for a moment," Dumbledore finished.

Everyone got up and started walking to their common rooms. James and I were trying to walk to Professor Dumbledore, but moving against the crown isn't easy, and we didn't get to him for several minutes.

"Professor?" James said when we were close enough.

"Yes?" he asked.

"You, er, wanted to talk to us?" James asked.

"Ah, yes! Being heads, you have your own common room. It's in the left high tower behind the portrait of the rabbits. The password is candy cane. Tell it to the smallest rabbit," Dumbledore told us.

"So, does this mean we have to stay in our own common room from now on?" I asked, sad that I wouldn't be able to see my friends without sneaking in.

"Of course not! The room is there, but you can use the Gryffindor common room if you choose. Your four posters are still in you dormitories. Just think of this as an added bonus," Dumbledore said smiling. I was relieved.

James and I bade Professor Dumbledore goodbye, and walked off to the Gryffindor common room, realizing we can't just leave our friends hanging. We agreed we'd try out the new common room on our free period after breakfast tomorrow morning.

We walked in, and a smiled and waved as James went to sit with the other Marauders by the fire. My friends were definitely in our dormitory, as were everyone else. He smiled back, waved, and walked off.

I walked up the stairs and was surprised to see all of my friends passed out along the five beds. I walked over, got into my own bed, putting Yvonne onto Shay's, and slept like a log. Not even realizing I was to wake up in the morning with one, huge problem…
