A/N: This is a start of a fic that I'm thinking about creating. "The Frog Princess" is the fairy tale I was planning to base it on, but not the one where you kiss a frog and it turns into some form of gorgeous royalty. It one where a beautiful princess uses a frog disguise for some reason and well, I'll just give a direct summary of the story here if I make it.
A/N2: There was a few VERY embarrassing spelling mistakes just in this first chapter from when I posted it in 2008. I'm just tidying this chapter up. I'd like to do a remake of this in the future to totally clean it up, but I don't know how I'm going to find the time. Until then, I find this story hilarious. Enjoy!

SUMMARY: There is a hat with girls names in it.
Each marauder takes a name.
Each marauder spends more time with said girl.
They evaluate said girls in different things: the prettiest, the nicest, most interesting, best date, etc
Each marauder can tell the girls how to do things, but they cannot outright say the marauders are having a competition. (And they don't want to scare the girl away from them, then they are disqualified.)
The marauder with the best marked girl by the end of the year get some form of prize. (Broom? Galleons? A girl?)

A girl with a hat pulled low on her head, covering her face, signed in for a room at the Leaky Cauldron as Patty Walters
"Patty Walters" pulled of the hat when she arrived at her room, revealing herself to be Lily Evans as she sat upon a chair in the inn, thinking of her future plans. She was amazingly beautiful, although only thirteen. She had not-quite-bright red hair and radiant emerald eyes along with a full mouth. She was of a fair complexion other than the light sprinkling of freckles upon her nose and cheeks.
She had recently run away from her family. They were famous French muggles who consistently tried to micro-manage her life. Lily was tired of admirers who were always trying to get a piece of the "Beautiful Lily Evans". They only knew her due to her parents. Lily had been home schooled(including magic when she turned 11), yet her privacy was still violated. She decided she needed to take action. This couldn't go on. She stood up, replaced the hat on her head, and left through the door.
After returning from shopping, she proceeded to pale the full red lips, and darken the skin around her eyes. She picked up some hair dye she bought and turned her hair a mouse brown. She used some dark brown contacts and placed them in her eyes, dulling and removing the regular emerald brilliance from before. She surveyed her work- she looked nothing like the girl that she used to be.
Lily had been informed of her abilities as a witch 2 years ago when she was 11. After discovering this information, she was sure she's found the perfect escape from her life. However, it took her 2 years to form her plans She had made her way to the Leaky Cauldron from a tidbit of information explaining that it was a very popular inn.
She started by finding some form of education and living arrangements. Looking through a list of available boarding schools provided by the front desk of the inn, she surveyed her options. Between Beauxbatons and Hogwarts, she could easily pick the best. People from Beauxbatons might recognize her. Lily walked to the fireplace, threw in some complementary floo powder and said, "Hogwarts."

At the start of the new school year, Lily arrived at Platform Nine and Three Quarters with her new school supplies and Moonbeam, a small, fluffy cat. She followed the other witches and wizards through the wall, and into the train. Walking down the narrow isle, she couldn't decide which compartment to sit in, finally deciding on an empty one at the back- she didn't want to draw attention to herself. She sat down on the bench and picked up one of her new school books.
Lily's peace was interrupted when four rowdy teens walked into the compartment. Lily looked up from her book to meet the looks from the four of them- one calculating, one intrusive, one surprised, and a smirk. She looked at them with curious eyes.
"You're in our compartment," stated the one with the smirk, who was still smirking.
"Oh! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude. I thought it was empty."
"It was empty, yes, but we always sit in this one. You're a first year, right?" asked the one whose look was calculating.
"I don't know. I'm transferring here. I think Professor Dumbledore said I would be in third year," Lily wondered aloud.
"Well, we just happen to be the most popular guys on campus, the marauders, therefore we get first dibs on this compartment," boasted the perverted one, "so leave."
Lily was slightly alarmed at the strange behaviour of the boys. The perverted look didn't help- she decided to buy looser clothing as soon as she could. She had never been around so many uncultured people at once, not having ever gone to a public school. She began to gather up her things to leave.
"Maybe she'll have more respect for us once she figures out who we are. I'm James Potter." the one who smirked too much interrupted her from her packing. Lily's eyes widened. Potter. The James Potter, heir to a fortune, was in the same room as her. She hoped that he wouldn't be able to recognize her, as he was of the same high class as she was.
"I seriously am," the perverted one began to introduce himself as he puffed out his chest, "Sirius. Which stands for, Seriously-Ingenious-Radical-Intimidating-Undescribable-S... Um... What's a good word that starts with S?"
"Just stop, Sirius. Just stop trying. 'Undescribable' isn't a word, it's 'indescribable'. Anyways, that was Sirius Black. I'm Remus Lupin. What's your name?" said the calculating one.
Lily smiled. Remus seemed like a normal person. "Lil-Patty Walters," she answered, stumbling over her new name.
Remus smiled back, "Welcome to Hogwarts, Walters." Lily was confused by being called by her last name, and decided to look into it later. Lily finished packing up her things and walked out of the compartment. Just when she was leaving she heard James Potter say with disappointment, "You forgot to introduce yourself again, Peter."

A/N: If people like the idea, OK, if ANYBODY reviews with a "Yes, do it" or a "OMFG d0 1t" then I will finish writing it. It shouldn't be too long if I do, less than 30k in words... Oh, and I only did a quick edit on this so sorry for any mistakes. kk thanx!
