"Evans" cried James potter as he stood on platform 9 ¾ waiting for his fellow marauders, Sirius black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew.
"How nice to see you again! How was your summer?" he asked as he chased her to the train.
"Potter" Lily said with an unnatural flirtyness to her voice.
This made James stop abruptly, did she just flirt with me?
This shocked James as for the past 6 years Lily Evans never talked to James potter unless she had to. James wasn't really sure what it was that made her hate him but he guessed it could be him asking her out 24/7.
Lily turned around smiling. If she was made to admit it, she had liked James ever since the last few weeks of 6 year. Surprisingly it had taken an argument with Black to make him grow up. And now since he had, she was ready to maybe give him a chance.
"My summer was great, yours?"
James just stared blankly at her, mouth opening and closing like a goldfish.
"Um, James?" Lily asked while waving her hand in front of his face
"Oh, oh Yeh it was great thanks" James said regaining his composure "I see you got head girl then" nodding towards the badge on her chest.
"oh yeah, and, wow… I see you got head boy, um that's a bit of a surprise" Lily said eyeing up the badge.
"Yeah, it was a bit, I expected Remus to get it"
"Yeah me too, oh well, congratulations. Dumbledore must of had his reasons, right?
" I guess, and um congratulations to!" James said, running his hand through his hair.
Lily couldn't think of anything else to say, she was too preoccupied with James deep brown eyes.
James was also rendered speechless by Lily's emerald green eyes. Until he heard someone calling his name in the background. Turning round he noticed his best friend of 6 years Sirius Black. Raising a hand in greeting he turned back to Lily and said "Um, well I've got to go, but I guess I'll see you in the heads compartment?"
Lily smiled and nodded "Ok, see you later" she turned and walked towards the train in search of her own friends.
Once she was gone James turned his attention to Sirius who was now standing with Remus and Peter.
"Hey guys" James said with a huge smile on his face.
"Did I just see what I thought I saw" Sirius asked faking a shocked expression "Did James potter and Lily Evans just have a civilized conversation with each other?"
"I didn't just imagine that, you saw it too Padfoot?" Remus exclaimed dramatically
James rolled his eyes at the two and said proudly "Yes actually we did, it is possible you know!"
"Oh I know its possible, I just never thought it would happen" Remus said smartly.
"Hey! I was gonna say that" Sirius shouted out, so loudly half the people on the station turned to find the source of the commotion.
James smiled at his two friends bickering, while Peter just watched. He didn't know what he had done to deserve them.
Sirius was his best friend and second in command in their group, they had meet on their first train ride to Hogwarts, at the time they had been talking about what houses they were going to be sorted into. That's also where he had first laid eyes on Lily and unfortunately Snape.
Him and Sirius had been friends ever since, although they had, had a serious argument towards the end of 6th year about Remus "furry little problem" but fortunately it didn't take that long for them to become friends again.
Remus was the brainier out of the four although most of it was book smart. Remus was a werewolf, and was weary of becoming friends with anyone in case of hurting them. But he and Sirius hadn't taken any notice of his attempts to isolate himself and had kept perusing him until he gave in. After about a year of knowing him he and Sirius had figured out and confronted him about being a werewolf. They had been surprise but it had never really bothered them and they made sure he knew it. So instead of abandoning him they made a pact to help him, they all decided to become Animagi, and by 5th year had mastered it. James became a Stag, Sirius a big black Dog and Peter a Rat. That was how they had got their nicknames, James became Prongs, Sirius became Padfoot and Peter became Wormtail. Ever since then they had accompanied Moony (Remus) to the shrieking shack to transform.
Peter was well, Peter. There was nothing really special about him.
All together they became the marauders, pranksters of Hogwarts.
James was snapped out of his thoughts when Padfoot smacked him round the head
"Prongs, stop day dreaming and sit down already" Sirius said while rolling his eyes.
James looked up to find himself in a compartment already. Shaking his head he sat down, before quickly standing up again looking wide eyed
"what time is it moony?" he asked panicked
"um.. 11:05, why?"
"shit!" James said as he slide the compartment door open
"whoa! Prongs, hold up where you going?" Sirius asked confused, they always sat on the train together.
"Heads compartment" James said as he tried to run out the door, but Sirius was holding his arm
"Um, why?" asked Peter timidly
"Because I'm head boy ! And if I'm late Lily will hate me again!" Finally getting his arm free and running through the door.
Remus, Sirius and Peter stood stock still with their mouths wide open staring at the door James had just run through.
All of a sudden Sirius shouted "NNNNNOOO! My best friend, one of the biggest pranksters in Hogwarts history has just become a rule abiding pin head!" he shouted as he dropped to the floor with fake sobs.
"um Padfoot, its um ok don't worry, it still James" Wormtail said attentively, worrying that Sirius really was crying.
Sirius was now thumping the floor with both fists still pretending to sob.
Remus just sat back down rolled his eyes at Peter and muttered "Dumbledore's off his rocker" before going back to his book.
