A/N: Well, I'm writing about two stories, but I have to write this one when I'm inspired, lol. Please respond and tell me what you think and what I could do to improve it.
Chapter One:
Lily scratched her ear, just like she did whenever she was nervous. She took a deep breath, and walked down the aisle of the train. She really hoped she was ready for whatever the heck she was about to do. Even she wasn't sure. She got to the door of the compartment she was about to enter. She did a quick self-evaluation of herself. She had a light green tank top on with navy blue hip-hugger bell bottoms on. (remember, we're in the '60s here ppl!) Her bright red hair was in a long pony tail that fell to her lower back. She rubbed the corners of her bright green eyes. She sighed and put her hand on the door handle.
"Hey, Lily, what's up?" came a voice behind her.
"AH!" Lily screamed, almost falling backwards.
"Woah, Lil, you ok? It's just me," said the boy as people began to stare at the couple.
"My God, Potter, you scared the crap out of me," Lily said, turning around to see her friend. He was fairly short for their age of 17, but made for it in his looks. He had jet black hair with intense blue eyes, that made any girl melt, behind his silver frames. His skin was slightly tanned and Lily guessed he had gone to Spain or France over the summer.
"Then my job is done, good day," James said, smiling, then left her standing alone.
"That freak," Lily mumbled, and opened the door.
Lily stuck her head into the compartment, and smiled at her other friends, Sirius Black, a handsome 17-year-old who lived up to his name with black hair, Remus Lupin, who always had a mysterious aura around him and had sandy brown hair and was 17, Peter Pettigrew, the seemingly loser of the group who was rather chubby and almost a Squib who was almost 18, Jamie Williams, who had curly shoulder length blond hair and bright blue eyes and was Lily's best friendwho was 16, the youngest of the group, and birthdat was in October, and Tessa Scott, with chin length light brown hair and freckles speckled across her nose and was Lily's other best friend who was 17.
"Hi, everyone," said Lily, sitting down between Sirius and Jamie.
"Hi, Lily," said Tessa who was creaming Remus in a game of Exploding Snap.
"How was your summer?" said Peter, who was very taken with Lily since the first day of Hogwarts.
"Fine, thanks, Peter," said Lily politely.
"We heard you scream. I take it James was out there," said Sirius said, grinning.
"Yeah, I'm suprised he can look in a mirror," said Lily, laughing.
As if on cue, James walked through the door and sat down across from Jamie.
"Hi," said James, smiling.
"You know something, I have no idea what you did, but I don't like it already," said Jamie, giving him a skeptical look.
"You're right, you don't," said James.
Lily shook her head and looked around. These were her closest friends. They were easily the most popular bunch of kids in Hogwarts, besides Peter. James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Lily Evans, Jamie Williams, and Tessa Scott. The most wanted group of boys and girls in the Gryffindor House. 'Not that I'm bragging,' Lily thought happily.
"So, Potter, what did you do?" Lily asked him.
"Well, you know, Snape has been being some of a git, I'd say worse, but I'm a nice person," James started. Lily snorted and James continued, "Well, he was saying something gay about my name," he put on an odd voice, "'Potty, look it's Potty,'" he rolled his eyes. "Well, lets just say, that he's going to be on the potty for awhile now," James concluded, his eyes full of vengence.
"Ah, so that would be why you bought all that Muggle Ex-Lax crap," said Remus, looking up from his game with Tessa.
"Yeah, in a nutshell," said James leaning back and looking quite happy with himself.
"You know, if he ever manages to have kids, they are going to hate your kids," Jamie said, shaking her head.
"Damn, if he so much as lays a finger on one of my kids, I'll kill him," said James.
"I'm sure you will," said Sirius, tying his shoe.
Just then they heard someone run by yelling, "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, POTTER! STOP THE TRAIN! I HAVE TO USE THE LOO!"
They all looked at James and began laughing hysterically.
"That, James, was your best plan yet," Tessa said between laughing.
"Thank you, thank you," said James taking a bow.
"Lily, come on, you've been in the bathroom longer than Snape has," said Jamie leaning against the door to the stall Lily was in.
"I'm fixing my hair!" said Lily.
"Do it out here! There's a perfectly fine mirror out here," Tessa said, who was putting some lip gloss on.
"Fine," said Lily, walking out with her hair looking exactly like it did when she stepped into it twenty minutes ago.
"How does it look?" asked Lily self-consiously.
"Beautiful, now let's go!" Jamie said and pulled Lily out of the bathroom.
They rushed into the Great Hall and saw Professor Dumbledore talking.
"Great, Lil, we missed the Sorting," said Tessa.
"Big deal, it's not the most exciting thing ever," said Lily as they walked past the Ravenclaw table and approached the Gryffindors. The quickly put their pointed hats on, which they all loathed, and sat down next to James, Sirius, and Remus.
"Oh my, they decided to grace us with their presences," said James.
"Shut up, Potter," said Jamie sitting down next to him. "If someone hadn't taken their own sweet time doing their hair..."
"Hint hint, Lily," said Tessa.
"Ah, in that case, totally understandable," said Sirius.
"Shut it, Black," said Lily, and looked at Dubledore, pretending she was listening.
"So, Lily," Remus whispered in her ear. "What did he just say?"
"Shut up," said Lily, and pushed his head away.
"As I was saying," said Dumbledore, and looked at the group of young adults, his blue eyes twinkling, "the seventh years are going to have a bit more, er, freedom, this year. There will be notices in all of the House Common-Rooms stating what will be tolerated this year. Now, everyone, eat!"
With that, the tables were magically filled with food. Everyone instantly began to begin reaching across the tables for more food. Lily looked up at the enchanted ceiling, seeing it become to grow with pinks, oranges, and blues.
"Wonder what we get to do this year," said Remus through a mouthful of chicken.
"Dunno, but it better be cool," said James, gulping down pumpkin juice.
"Knowing Dumbledore, it will be," said Sirius, stuffing peas into his mouth.
"You three are really gross you know that," said Lily, sipping from her goblet.
"What's it to you, Evans?" said James, spraying food onto Jamie, who was sitting next him.
"Hm, thanks, James," said Jamie, taking her napkin and picking up a piece of meat and setting it on his lap. "For you."
"Oh, I'm touched, Jamie," said James, smiling.
"Hey, know what I just noticed?" said Remus, his face lighting up as though he had just learned a Patronus Charm over night.
"What, Lupin?" asked Sirius.
"James and Jamie have practically the same name," he replied, smiling widly.
James and Jamie looked at Remus with looks of unbelief on their faces.
"He's a quick one," Tessa said, helping herself to some pudding.
"'Course I am," said Remus, taking the pudding from her.
James looked at Jamie and said, "Did he just point out that are names are closely related?"
"I think so," said Jamie.
"How long have we known him?" asked James.
"About 7 years now," said Jamie.
"My god, Remus, you are a freak," said James, and then turned back to his food.
"Ditto that," said Jamie, cutting her chicken into pieces.
"Something funny just happened there, but I didn't quite catch it, did you?" Sirius asked Lily.
"Nope," said Lily, and started to eat again.
"Ok, as long as I wasn't the only one," said Sirius, shaking his head slightly.
Back in the Gryffindor tower, there was a crowd gathering around where Professor McGonnagal had posted the supposed things that the seventh years were allowed to do. Sirius, who was taller than the rest, was looking over other seventh years heads to see and pass it on to his friends.
"Oh, that's good... And that will be fun," said Sirius, enjoying the looks on his friends faces.
"Sirius," said James warningly.
"Boys, let me show you how it's done," said Jamie sweetly.
She approached the crowd and went to a boy and said, "Excuse me, could you possibly let me through?" She added a melting smile.
"Sure," the boy, Andy Peters, said, and moved by for her. He was looking at her dreamily and had a funny smile on his face. It gave her a straight shot to the paper.
She turned, looked at the others, and nodded. She walked to the paper and said, "My god, people, there are more than one! You can take one, and frolic away!" Jamie ripped one off and walked back to her friends.
"Here," she said and handed it to James.
The paper looked like this:
ATTENTION ALL SEVENTH YEARS!
Headmaster Albus Dumbledore has out together a few things that
the new seventh years are now allowed to have. These will be
used as awards, and will also be easily taken away as punishme-
nts. Here is the list:
1: Seventh years will now be able to visit Hogsmeade every wee-
end.
2: There will be frequent feasts and balls this year, but the
younger years will also be allowed to attend.
3: Seventh years will be allowed to roam the hallways at night,
as long as they are not starting chaos and havoc. They will al-
so be able to walk on the grounds, except for the Whomping Wil-
low.
4: Seventh years will be allowed to go into the resricted sect-
ion of the library without a signed permission slip from a tea-
cher. But, if Madam Pince sees to it, this can be stopped.
5: Seventh years will be allowed to pick which classes to atte-
nd, as long as they pass each test with top marks.
Sincerely, Minerva McGonnagal
When the young adults finished reading, they looked aroung at each other.
"What does number 5 mean? We get to skip classes?" asked Remus.
"Guess so," said Lily. "I can't believe they are giving us so much slack. If we tried to any of this last year, we'd be dead."
"The balls will be cool though," said Tessa. "Even though the younger years will be able to go."
"And the Hogsmeade visits will be nice," said Sirius.
"We can roam the grounds as long as we stay away from the Willow. Wonder why," said Jamie out of pure curiousity.
"Good question," Remus said quickly, and then changed the subject. "How about the library, cool, eh?"
