Hello dear Reader and lover of Fanfiction and especially of Harry Potter. Long time ago I had started writing a "Reading the books" fanfic. Unfortunately it was taken down. Again...and again...and well again. But I just love this fantastic format of the characters reading a book and then their reaction to it, that I decided to try it with another story.

In this fanfic the characters will read about the home life of femHarry (Alexandra Potter) if her life would have been normal. So it is kind of an imagine about femHarry having parents, family etc. but moreover I also will let the character's react to it.

I didn't start the next chapter yet, so if you think that this is a good idea, maybe you could PM me or shortly let a review so I know that I should continue. If not, then well I should spent my free time otherwise...

Logically I don't have a Beta to this story yet (Do you wanna be my Beta? Let me know) sp please forgive me if there are like really bad, bad mistakes. Besides English isn't my first language...

I really hope that you love this format and that you enjoy reading and reviewing (hihi) as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Yours

Bene

P.S.: I also am uploading another story 'The family of Alexandra Potter' (Yeah I love the femHarry stories)

Finding the books

Remus groaned for the third time in a row at his unbelievable childish friends. It was a mystery to him and probably to every other wizard and witch in the world how the two marauder's James and Sirius managed to get good marks on every exam, without making any effort and learning at all. Of course, they were extraordinary bright students but Remus always thought that you definitely needed more to get such good marks than just being blessed with intelligence.

"Wormtail, on the other side.", thought Remus, "Is actually a person who needs help in all the work!"

But he, like James and Sirius, got diverted from things which were less important than work. Not that Remus didn't like and enjoy their own way of causing trouble and making people laugh. No, he was a marauder in flesh and blood but the intelligent teenager just wished sometimes to have a nice working atmosphere.

Again the sixteen year old looked up from his book as he was distracted from laughter of his two best friends.

"C'mon Moony, stop looking at us like this!", Prongs grinned widely when he noticed Remus' disapproving look.

"Yeah, we're just having fun, unlike you", Sirius added with an even wider grin. Remus rolled his eyes at them, how predictable for his best mates, and scowled, "You should prepare yourself for exam too, you know."

"We will do that, Moony", huffed James with mock hurt.

"Besides we still would know everything", said Sirius but stopped talking for once when something else or when , to be exact, someone else caught his attention. The handsome boy had caught a girl looking at him. He shortly winked at her, making her blush and kept checking her out. James and Remus followed his look.

"How predictable", thought Remus and started writing again but was distracted once again when he heard Sirius groan loudly and rub the back of his head.

"What was that for Prongs?!", the teenager asked surprised with a hint of anger in his voice.

"She's a Slytherin!", James hissed at him.

"So what? Who says that she isn't a good shag?", explained Sirius with an evil grin across his face but it faded when he looked at James.

"Oh I understand.", he sighed, "You're just not laughing because you decided to act more mature for your Lilyflower" Sirius had taken a teasing tone.

James blushed a little, nevertheless glared at him. "Shut it, Pads!"

Remus and Wormtail were listening amused.

James shot his friend again a glare and turned the attention to his amber haired friend.

"What about out 'lil Moony and his AMMEEEELIAA!"
He sang the girl's name loudly and caused Madame Prince to give them a warning look.

"There's nothing with me and Amelia", Remus whispered and turned to his book, trying desperately to concentrate.

"You mean"

"AMEEELIA!", they chorused.

"Stop it now and don't be so ridiculous!", interfered Remus.

"That won't work on us, Moony mate", James sighed, running a hand through his hair and made it messier.

Sirius nodded dramatically as did Peter.

"We saw you two."

"She greeted you"

"And you went all red"

"Then you started talking"

"You went all red."

"She was smiling at you"

"And you again went all red."

"She called you Remmy"

"You went all dark red."

"Then she kissed you fiercely-"

"And you crashed on the ground and started making out!"

Remus, who looked crimson in the face, tried his hardest not to show his discomfort.

"The last part never happened!", complained Remus loudly about their lies.

"AHA!", cried James out loudly.

"So you actually were all red in the face when she called you Remmy!"

"What? No! Could-could you three just shut up?", Remus asked and heard Peter whisper, "Didn't say anything!" before stood up and walked over to the bookshelves, pretending to search for a book he needed to hide his blushing cheeks.

When he turned to look shortly over to his friends, he observed James seeing Lily Evans in the library. He tried to flatten his hair but it didn't really work so he ran his fingers through the hair. Again, it had gotten even messier than before.

"Lily! Hey Lily!", he shouted at her across the library.

Seeing that he was disturbing the pupils in the learning section she fastly went over to him.

"Potter, you're-"

"Hi, Lilyflower!", James grinned.

Lily rolled her green eyes at him. How many times had she told him not to call her that? "Because you privately like it and you just get confused when your heart melt at his words", a tiny, whispering voice said in the back of her head. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she pushed the small voice away. Lily cleared her face again and turned to James.

"Stop screaming across the library, Potter!", warned the girl.

James opened his mouth to retort but they all turned to Remus who was still standing in front of the bookshelves and had just whispered, "What the...?`"

He had a weird expression on his face and looked baffled.

"Didn't know books could be this interesting, Moony, that you stare at them longer than you look at Amelia!"

When Remus didn't care to answer and complain, Lily saw for the first time James Potter looking extraordinary serious and worried.

"What is it Moony?", he asked. His friends just handed him the book slowly, it seemed that he moved in slow motion. Lily moved nearer to James, she couldn't help her curiosity. Five heads were now crooked over James, trying to see what Moony had meant.

James took a closer look to the book. There was a large picture on the cover of the book. If James and the others wouldn't have known better, they would have thought it was Lily there. Lily apparently thought so too because she gasped at the face of the young girl. But still, this wasn't Lily because there was something different about the girl on the cover and Lily. The eyes. The eyes weren't the brilliant shade of green, full of emotions like Lily. They were bright Hazel eyes, a unique shade, it wasn't brown it looked almost, just almost golden. The smile in the girl's eyes had something mischievous and cheeky. Over the picture there was written in golden Letter.

ALEXANDRA POTTER

HOW HER LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN IF ONLY. . .

James turned eagerly the book to see what was written on the back of the book.

Alexandra Potter's life turned upside down on the faithful night in October. From the young age of one, the girl had to life with her Muggle relatives. We all might now her Story perfectly but what if her life would have normal? What if she had a quiet life with her parents, friends and family?

Well as quiet as it can be for a small trouble maker...

When James stopped reading he looked into the round.

"What was that?", Sirius was the first one to break the silence.

"Don't know...", James whispered and took his eyes from the picture.

He was still looking thoughtfully, he hadn't even noticed Lily sitting next to him.

"Is it someone you know?", Peter asked curiously.

James shook his head, "Nope, we don't have a Alexandra Potter in our family."

Remus who hadn't spoken in a while decided, "We should read it."

Sirius turned to roll his eyes at him, "Merlin's pants Moony! You want to read a book, just because Prongs' name is on it! Did you know that the name 'Potter' is very common also in the Muggle world?"

Remus who feared that it had strongly to do something with James, argued further and made a clear point, "The book says 'she lived with her Muggle relatives, which means she must be a witch"

Lily nodded, her eyes were big and curious. She couldn't remember being so excited and interested about something in a long time.

"The marauder's aren't that bad." , she decided in her head.

"Besides it's not just about that.", Remus said and pointed at the book. "Did you notice when it was published?"

They all rushed fast to the book, scanning its cover of a date.

"What?", Sirius had gone wide eyes, Wormtail still didn't know where he could find the date and James was deep in thoughts.

"Impossible...",gasped Lily. Remus nodded. "Exactly."

"B-But how...I mean... 1997?", Lily breathed. Probably for the first time in her life speechless.

Nobody answered her and Remus turned again to James, "Prongs...I think it might be your daughter..."

Sirius and James immediately started laughing.

"My-my daughter?", James laughed.

Remus glared at them. "You know that this is possible. Look guys this book is clearly from the future, I don't know how this works, I don't know what this means, but I for myself will read it. You are all free to join me if you want."

Remus stood up and snatched the book from James' hands.

The marauder's had stopped laughing at their friends lecture and James sighed. "Well..ok. Alright. Let's just find a place where nobody will disturb us."

Lily scowled at them. It was Hogwarts for Merlin's sake! Didn't they notice the last years that they wasn't any place for your own, where nobody would disturb you?

James grinned at her mischievously.

"He's back to himself", Lily thought but was also relived to know that he could act different, beside just childish, immature, big headed Potter! Surprisingly, Black did too.

"Let us the place be our concern, Lilyflower."

Sirius raised an eyebrow at her, "Just if you want to join us of course!"

Lily's cheek got a tinge of pink in them as she nodded, "Of course I will, Black!"

They all collected their things and nearly run out of the library. The fife some didn't stop until they came to a wall. James went up a few times in front of it, with an concentrated look plastered on his face and suddenly, out of nowhere, there appeared a door. When they all entered it disappeared behind them and Lily admired the room they were in.

A big and comfy couch was in the middle of it, in front of the furniture was a large, stoned fireplace, with a huge fire burning in it, making the room pleasantly warm.

James sat himself fast next to Lily. She rolled his eyes but didn't comment it.

When the marauder's and Lily finally settled down, Sirius took eagerly the book and started reading. He smiled lightly as he read the chapter title.

So what do you think? Is this an good idea? Please leave constructive criticism!
