AN:  Hello fellow fanfictioners. Welcome to this, my first ever published story. This story does follow the 5th book BUT in this story the Marauders and Lily (and my own character) are good friends (the best actually) There isn't going to be much love/hate but I mean come on it has Lily and James in it, there's gotta be a little!!

Okaliedockalie here we go…

Disclaimer:  I own them all Bwhahahahahah, Na! Actually I do not own Harry Potter, nor do I own any of the songs late on in this fic. Ok any characters you don't recognize are mine, like Jen and Claire.

AN: Oops, sorry I forgot to add this. I know that Australia's holidays and school terms are different that England's but in this Fiction there the same because I'm to lazy to figure it out properly. K. Here we go (FINALLY)

 Jens P.O.V.

Kermit flew through the window silently and landed on the head of Jens bed. HE hooted softly and hoped down onto the pillow. As he started to nibble on her fingers she groaned softly.

Meanwhile another owl had landed on the windowsill of her bedroom. Jen slowly opened her eyes. She glanced at her alarm clock and yet again groaned. It was 3 am, way to early for the holidays.

"O well I'm up now" she sighed lightly.

As she went to pick up her pillow that had fallen on the floor she felt a fussy lump under the covers and a rouge tongue licking her hand. She softly picked up the lump and gave it a big warm hug. The lump, which was really her little Grey kitten chiminey, gave a large mew. At this Jen just laughed. Sensing everyone else making noise the two owls hooted loudly.

Hearing the unfamiliar hoot Jen hopped out of her bed and scooped up the new owl into her arms. As she back down onto her bed the owl stepped up onto the bed head eyeing Chiminey wearily.

" It's ok she wont hurt you she's used to owls by now.

The owl seemed to have understood her and he hopped onto the bed and stuck out his leg for Jen to remove the letter attached.

The cat leapt of the bed with fright when Jen let out a very, very, very, very, very, very, (AN: I think you get the idea, o who cares) very, VERY loud squeal.

Claires P.O.V.

At 11am Claire awoke to tapping on her window. She looked outside to see three owls sitting on the window.

Usually she would have the window open but it rained last night so she had to keep it shut.

She let the owls in a looked at them. One was her owl hewwo, he got his name when her little cousin said hello to him in a little baby voice and it sounded like hewwo. The name Hewwo sort of stuck and he had been called that ever since.

The third owl was her best friend Jennifer's. Jennifer was more commonly known as Jen or Bay.

Jen and Claire had been best friends since their 1st year at Flooden Academy for young witches and wizards. They were now entering their 6th year.

The school was located in Sydney, Australia. They were still the best of friends even if they had often fought, the fights barley lasted a minute.

As she climbed up the ladder to her bed she took a closer look at the third owl.

It was a school official owl

'It must have her supplies list' she thought.

As she removed the parchment the owl ruffled it's feathers importantly and soared out the window.

She opened the letter and gasped with delight.

It said:

Dear Miss Gardner,

We are pleased to offer you a place in the new transfer student program. You have been selected to attend Durmstrang Academy in Bulgaria.

Attached is a list of supplies you will need.

You will be expected to be at the international airport on the 30th of August where you will be given further instructions. See you there.

Sincerely

Mrs. Nergton, Deputy headmistress of Flooden academy.

"YES!!!!!!!" shrieked Claire very loudly.

Claire was grinning from ear to ear as she opened the letter from her best friend. She new what it would be about because they had both applied for a transfer at the end of last year.

The students who received the best grades last year received the transfer position a Jen was a lot brighter than she was.

She sighed and thought about how much fun Jen was to be around. There was one thing that Claire admired greatly about Jen was the fact that even when she was troubled by her problem she didn't let it show and handled it well.

 Claire doubted anyone besides her and some of the staff new about it at all and she planned to keep it that way.

She smiled at the fun that they had had together and the trouble they got into. Now they'd be traveling to a whole new country together.

 'Well here goes nothing' she thought.

She opened the letter.

O my god, o my god, O my god.

Claire smiled at her friend's excitement

I can't believe I'm going to Hogwarts in England for a whole year.

I hope you are too.

Well Owl me back NOW!

Love Jen

Claire's face fell,

' Hogwarts!  We'll be apart for a whole year, how is Jen going to cope with the full moons each month, where was she going to transform, O no' she thought stressfully.

As she stressed over the finer points she felt another piece of paper flutter down onto her lap.

 She snapped it up quickly.

Dear Claire,

I've settled down now, don't worry about my "problem" I have a meeting with the headmaster, Professor Bumbleyfloors ot something on Friday, wish me luck.

Love Jen

Claire laughed at the letter even though she was still disappointed.

"We know each other to well," she laughed out loud.

She grabbed a piece of parchment from her messy desk and wrote a letter to Jen.

Dear Jen,

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I've been sent to  Durmstrang not Hogwarts ahhhhhhhhh.

 Lol you know me to well, I was stressing about your problem but I know you'll be fine.

Well I guess I'll owl you soon. It sux how we wont see each other for ages because I'm going away for a holiday. Barrier reef here I come!

 O well write to me heaps at Hogwarts. And remember to prank lots and leave a bad impression. Bye for now, I'll miss you heaps.

Love Claire

She walked over to the small tree in the corner of her room (AN: yes I know most people don't have trees in their room but I mean, come on, this is Harry Potter, NOTHING is normal, lol) Her owl Hewwo flew down onto her arm and stuck out his leg.

She gently stroked him down his back and gave him a quick scratch on top of the head.

She opened her purple curtains and watched him silently soar out of the window.

Remus' P.O.V.

Remus woke up. He let out an exasperated sigh.

"I'm am SOOOOOO bored already, and I only just woke up, eeghhh"

After pondering what to do for sometime he had an idea but he'd need some help so he owled Lily, after all she was coming over in 1hr anyway for brunch with his family and the rest of the Marauders.

Lily had moved around the corner recently and ever since his family had invited her over for breakfast to welcome her into the community.

Dear Wise,

Please come over early. I'm really bored.

Prongs and Padfoot are still snoring and I've got a great way to wake them up with a bang. Please come over now I'll need your help with this one!

Thanks

From Moony

As he watched his jet black owl Raven soar out of the window he began to plot the way his plan would work best.

 

Lily's P.O.V.

Lily got out of bed bright and fresh, as she always did, her friends at Hogwarts had always hated this about her.

Lily sighed

" I'll miss them this year, just like last year, I really miss having some female friends about" she said quietly.

Jess and Michaela had been her best friends since the beginning of first year. But last year, just before school started, Lord Voldemort murdered the twins in their sleep.

Lily was very upset and was left with no good friends to understand and comfort her. Until the Marauders reached out to her and brought her into their group. She cheered up very quickly but this still didn't stop her from arguing with Potter, or as she called him now, Prongs. But know it was just friendly bickering.

In the middle of last year she finally became an Animagus.

Her friends and her had been trying for years but they kept missing a step and with the help of the Marauders last year she finnaly achieved her goal.

Remus told her his secret and now she helped him as well. It had been a really great year.

Suddenly two owls came through the window and landed on top of her mirror. She took the letters and flopped down onto her faded denim beanbag. She decided to read the school owl first.

The letter basically explained the normal stuff but attached was another note. She picked it up, read and grinned happily. It said,

Miss Evans,

We would like to request you and three friends of your choice to arrive at Hogwarts early on the 28th of July and stay until the start of the school year.

We are accepting an exchange student from Australia. She has already been automatically placed in Griffindor and we feel you and you're chosen friends would be excellent people to make her feel welcome.

 Please send your reply by owl ASAP. Please also send a list of the three friends that will be accompanying you, your permission slip and you friend's slips also.

 The slips are attached and we hope to see you soon.

Sincerely

 Professor Mcgonagall

Lily picked up the other letter, which turned out to be from Remus.

She grinned at his letter. She new when Remus Lupin thought up a plan she wanted to be part of it.

Lily pulled her long wavy Auburn hair into a messy bun, grabbed the other letter and ran down the stairs to talk to her mother about this new opportunity.

Mrs. Evans agreed immediately and signed the permission slip Lilt went to run over to Remus' house; well at least that's what she told her mum.

Once outside she climbed up the ladder to her old tree house.

Lily closed her eyes and transformed into a beautiful snowy owl with bright almond shaped green eyes identical to her own.

As she flew down the street she looped and swirled.

Lily had been an Animagus for more than half a year and still felt the thrill of flying.

 Lily flew two blocks away from her house and spiraled through Remus' bedroom window.

Remus was lying on his back gazing at the ceiling. Lily glided over and landed on his stomach. He looked up and started to glare at her

"Lily Evans don't you dare…"

Lily closed her eyes and transformed on his chest.

"…Transform,' he sighed.

Lily let out a loud gleeful laugh and pulled the letters out from the pouch around her neck and passed one to Remus.

 He read it and then jumped out of bed in excitement, making Lily fall on her bum.

Remus chuckled and pulled her up.

"So do you want to come? Lily asked hopefully.

"Dur!" Remus said rolling his eyes.

Lily just grinned.

"Great so what's this plan of yours Mr. Genius?"

" Ok well I had an idea to wake them up," Remus said indicating to the door near his bed, "They both snore and sleep with their mouths open, so I thought you could fly over their heads and pop a…Umm. Little present in their mouths'

Lily looked at Remus in a confused way before it dawned on her what he meant.

 Lily stifled a laugh.

"K well lets go!'

They snuck through the door into James room. Lily closed her eyes and transformed silently.

 She flew over James' head, waited till the exact moment and then pooped into James' mouth.

"Pwhaeek, gross, what WAS that?"

Remus stood smirking at James as he went and washed his mouth out.

As he sat back down again Lily flew onto his shoulder.

James' eyes widened.

"Oh No, Oh No, No, No you don't… oof!"

James landed on the floor while Lily laughed at the replay of Remus' Awakening.

"Where's the food."

Sirius had finally woken up after all that time.

Lily and Remus cracked up at the look on their best friends faces.

"I smell food" said Sirius, his acute senses kicking in.

They soon realized he was right.

As the group made their way down stairs, or ran in the boy's case, Lily passed them their notes.

"Cool!" exclaimed James and Sirius in unison.

Lily just grinned

' This is gonna be fun' she thought to herself happily.
