Summary: [AU MWPP] What if Lily Evans never came to hogwarts?How would that effect the relationship that essentially saved the world?what happens to the misfits who were never allowed to go to school? What if two misfits were no longer misfits? At least in the fashion we know it to be. This is a tale of what never was but of what could have been.

Prologue

In a sleepy town, not too far from the city yet not in the depths of the English countryside, resided a very special family. The house, a modest two story building, was built on a lovely plot of land. The closest neighbours were merely a ten minute jaunt away which kept them close but allowed for the privacy that this family needed.

Because this family was no ordinary family. Sometimes within the normal is the abnormal. This family portrayed the nearly perfect nuclear family. The father went off to work while the mother looked after the children and the household. The children played quite happily in the fields counting stars in the night and dreaming of the future. Despite all the pretenses of normalcy, the fact remained that they guarded a secret, heavy with importance.

Witchcraft and wizardry is an affair best kept to those that know it. History proves that the world of muggles was not ready for this unknown. In most cases it helped more than it hurt. Magical folk were able to live as they choose including within the muggle world. The options seemed to work for many years. Wizards didn't intrude on the lives of non-magical folk. And they remained obvious to the extraordinary. But there are expections to every case. The young were reckless with their magic, consciously or not. And muggle-borns are particularly tricky.

There were those who find that muggle born were unworthy of training. They did not have the magic in their blood for generations. They lacked the purity that elevated status significantly. Muggle borns were an issue of hot debate with both sides strongly opposed. It seemed that there would be no resolution. It was a vicious cycle that always seemed to turn for the worst when one person decided to take matters into their own hands. Of course that is another story.

This tale begins in the house of Lily Evans, a lovely sixteen year old girl who is a little different than the rest, abnormal even to her own blood. But that's to be expected when you are a witch, without any formal training whatsoever.

She sat waiting patiently for the moment to come .She had been waiting for this encounter for hours. There was an air of serenity as she mediated. The wind rustled through the trees bringing a whisper of the flower scent. Dusk was approaching fast. On her crossed legs lay a hand effectively ruining the calm picture. She remained completely composed with the exception of her twitching left pointer finger. her mind was buzzing with possibilities. Questions bounced in her mind of details regarding the meet to the sheer exhilaration of using her magic.

It was only through very specialized training was she able to concentrate her magic. Reaching into her magic, she sensed him. She opened her eyes with almost a snap and uttered one word

"wolf"

"Hello witch." Remus had finally arrived.

Although she appeared to be the picture of tranquility, Lily was internally bursting with glee. Friendship and magic were a powerful combination

AN: First and foremost, I am more of a reader than a writer. I have never written for my first love of HP which brought me to fan fiction. I have the summer to lounge around so I thought I would give it a shot. This AU idea interested me initially to read but I didn't find anything in the generic search. So I decided to try and I have the story pretty much mapped out. Please let me know if there are any similarities from other fan fiction. I have been reading so long that I can't even remember what ideas are mine anymore. Sorry that the prologue is pretty dry. I hope that I will have hooked you by the end. But keep reading. I can only hope that it will get better. Please review! It would mean a lot to me and of course I'll answer as many questions as I can.
