Chapter 1: School
1st Year- August
It was the end of summer and Kings Cross station was as busy as it normally was, except for one platform that was almost ready to leave. This platform was Platform 9¾. A new school year was about to start, but this specific year was an exciting one, especially for James Potter. After all, it isn't every year that your precious baby sister was coming for her first year at Hogwarts. James, though a trouble maker, knew the type of person his sister was.
He knew that she was a force to be reckoned with and that if he and the Marauders were caught by her they would be in serious trouble. Said girl was standing beside him as their parents bid them goodbye.
"Alright, be good you two. James don't get into trouble and Ezra...don't give your brother too much trouble alright?" said Euphemia Potter as she hugged both of her children.
"We promise mother, right Ezzy?" said James smiling.
"I promise, you, however, plan on causing mischief as soon as possible." teased Ezra smiling at her older brother. The pair of siblings were exactly nine months apart. James being born on March 27 and Ezra on December 27. Had they been twins they would be in the same year. However, Ezra was a bright girl and Euphemia had a suspicion that she would be skipping a year.
"Point made." admitted that black haired boy.
"Be nice Ezzy." said Fleamont resting his hand on his son's shoulder, "but she does have a point." teased the man winking at his daughter who smirked at her brother. James only rolled his eyes as the pair got on the train.
"Be safe you two!" called out their mother.
"And don't cause too much trouble!" shouted their father as the train pulled out of the station.
"Ezzy, I want you to meet my friends," said James as they searched the compartments. Eventually, they found one in which there was a boy with light brown hair, another with mousey dark brown with a small build and a third with black hair.
"Ey, James, nice of you to join us." said the black haired boy.
"H-hey James." said the smaller boy.
"Nice of you to join us, who do you have next to you?" asked the light brown haired boy. He was lean and thin with his robes looking a bit worn.
"This child," he said causing the girl to pout, "Is my darling little sister Ezra Euphemia Potter." introduced James.
"Greetings to you all, and screw you, James," she said glaring at her brother as he sat down in the middle of the small boy and the black haired boy.
"Geez James what did you do?" asked the black haired boy after hearing the black haired girl.
"I don't know, she just does that," he said innocently.
"James Fleamont Potter, you called me child! We are only nine months apart, not even a year. So don't you dare call me child!" she scolded huffing as she began to walk away.
"Oi, where are you going?" called James as his sister left the compartment.
"Away from you, where I can read my books!" she called back disappearing from sight. James shook his head, of course, his sister wanted to read her books. She wanted to create new magic and become a dualist so her being a "nerd" was just one of her many skills that she somehow acquired.
"What just happened?" asked Sirius, the black haired boy.
"She loves her books, and I always somehow manage to mess up something when she reads," said James thinking back to all the times that he accidentally destroyed her books.
"I can respect that." said the boy with light brown hair, Remus.
"S-She's scary…" said the small boy, Peter.
"She can be, and you don't want to be on the other side of her wand when she hexes you. Trust me….she's well practiced," said James shivering slightly at all those time he got caught by one of her hexes and trust him to admit that she could be terrifying.
In another compartment, Ezra found herself a nice quiet corner near the window to sit down and read her book on charms. The compartment was completely empty when the door slide open and an auburn haired girl and an oily black haired boy entered the compartment. Noticing the girl with the book, the auburn-haired girl asked the normal is there enough room question.
"Is anybody sitting here?" she asked gesturing to the empty seats around Ezra.
"No, it's just me." replied the girl glancing up at the pair before getting back to her book. The pair chatted and talked for a while before stopping.
"By the way, my name is Lily Evans, what's your name? You must be a first year right?" she asked quizzically.
"My name is Ezra Euphemia Potter," she responded still deeply invested in her book.
"You're related to James?" asked the boy with clear scorn in his voice.
"Unfortunately," she answered causing the two to look at each other wondering what she meant.
"Do you like your brother?" asked Lily.
"When he doesn't give me a reason to hex him, yes." answered the witch who was getting annoyed that she couldn't keep reading her book.
"You hex him?!" asked the boy in disbelief.
"He can be a little shit, so I make him stop," she answered setting her book down and finally getting a full look at the two people in front of her.
"By the way, you never told me your name," she said to the boy.
"Oh, my name is Severus. Severus Snape," he said with a small smile.
"Sev and I have been friends since before we came to school." chirped Lily as Severus's face reddened slightly out of embarrassment.
"Cool. The only "friends" I have are the stuck up pure-blooded people that want my dowry and trust me, getting invited to those balls and parties their absolutely boring." she stated.
"Wow, that must suck," said Lily wondering what it would be like to be forced to go to a ball and dress up.
"Does James go too?" asked Severus trying to imagine it.
"Sometimes, namely when he knows that there will be boys close to my age there." she responded smiling, "While he is a major ass sometimes he is protective of his little sister," she said smiling.
"You make him sound like he's a nice guy," said Severus.
"He is...when he wants to be." she said sighing, "He normally prefers to just mess around and forget about rules. That boy is going to get himself killed one day and it won't be my fault."
"Why do you think he is going to die?" asked Lily
"He's reckless, impulsive and passionate, but he's also loyal, kind and friendly. Those traits will be that boy's downfall mark my words."
1st Year- January
Ezra knew her brother, and she knew him well. His loyalty to his friends was also a trait she both admired and feared.
"So...you're a werewolf," said Sirius as Remus sheepishly nodded.
"That's alright, it just meant that you have a little furry problem," said James smiling.
"W-wait, Ezra w-why aren't you s-surprised?" asked Peter looking at the first year as she just leaned against the wall.
"I figured it out three months into the year. All of the signs were there, you just had to connect the dots," she said smiling.
"Well, Remus we're your friends. And this changes nothing," said James firmly as everyone agreed. Remus could cry and cry he did, not a lot but he did cry. Out of joy, he was worried that they would reject him, instead, they gave it a nickname and acted as if nothing had happened.
1st Year- February
At the end of her first year, professor McGonagall pulled Ezra out of class. While this wasn't a normal occurrence everyone in class was wondering why she got pulled out. Lily worried that her friend was being punished for something James did to teach him a lesson. She waited outside of the office with her close friends Alice and Marlene. The four girls had a friendly relationship and became fast friends.
To her utter annoyance next to the girls was the Marauders. Sirius and Remus watched as James paced the floor. Lily was astounded as she had never seen him so nervous about anything. Peter looked as nervous as always.
James was slightly panicking. He knew his little sister, she was not a normal rule breaker. While she did help out in becoming unregistered animagus, as she wanted to become one too she was not a general rule breaker.
Most likely it was something he had done that had gotten her into a load of trouble. That was his only explanation. Her being called into a professor's office so suddenly like she had done something wrong was something he was nervous about. Hours had passed before the doors opened, luckily for them, classes had already finished for the day when they had begun their wait.
"What is heaven's name are all of you doing here?" asked Professor McGonagall.
"We all wanted to know why you had so suddenly pulled Ezra out of class professor," said Lily respectfully, the two girls next to her nodded in agreement and looked at the professor with pleading eyes.
"Professor, if your punishing her for something I have done please give the punishment to me instead," said James as he had stopped his pacing and looked seriously at his professor. Even James's friends wondered what had happened to James, no one had ever seen him like this. So on edge, nervous and not as confident. It wasn't like him.
"It was nothing you have done Mr. Potter. However, I would like to inform you all that next year Ms. Potter will be joining you and I expect that you help integrate her into her third year. I have just had her finish her exams for both second and first year." she said with a hint of pride. While Remus was said to be the cleverest wizard of his age, Ezra was certainly the cleverest witch of her age. James was beyond happy. He knew his little sister was bright and had the opportunity not come before the years end he would certainly have done his best to make sure she did move up a year.
"Say it James, and I will hex you relentlessly." said the girl suddenly in warning. The professor looked from the girl to the boy as he smirked.
"What? That my Baby sister is finally joining the big kids?" he teased as the girl punched his shoulder with all of her might.
"Nine months James! Nine! Not that far!" she said as she angrily began to chase him down the call casting hex after hex.
McGonagall normally would have scolded the pair but currently, she was occupied by something else. Heading back into her office she looked over the girl's test scores once more. Everything was perfect, there was not a single wrong answer for both the first year and second year exams. That wasn't what caught her interest though, it was the book that had similar handwriting and signature in it.
If her suspicion was correct, the girl who had just moved up a year was going to be a powerful witch.
1st Year- May, one month before school ends.
It was the final month of school and she had yet to find it. Ezra had searched everywhere, from her brother's dorm, the girls dorm, the Gryffindor common room to the many classrooms she had yet to find her book of magical spells and potions.
It was a few days before she took her exams, she had accidentally left it at the Great Hall and had yet to find it. It had all of her research notes and spells that she had crafted so far. She desperately wanted it back as it contained potions that would make anyone rich.
"Ezra dear would you please come here for a moment," said Professor Slughorn as she exited the Great Hall to once more look for her missing book. Following her professor, she ended up in Professor Flitwick's classroom(or her private dueling tutor). There was all of the teachers, each one looking at her in both nervousness, amazement, and admiration.
"Ezra there is something we need to ask you." said the Headmaster. While she suspected something was going on she had never expected to see Dumbledore there.
"What is it, professor? Have I done something wrong?" she asked.
"No, no Ezra. You haven't done anything wrong, it's what you might have done," he said. That, however, did not make Ezra feel any better about the situation.
"We have found this book, you see," he pulled out a leather-bound book which Ezra recognized to be her missing book, "It has some spells and potions that none of us had ever seen. This could mean only one thing, a student invented these. The only question is which student."
Ezra understood what he meant, he was suggesting that the student who wrote the book was the one who invented it, and he was right.
"Which brings us to now," he said smiling, "We looked at its unique penmanship and signatures and it looks identical to yours. So, is this book yours?" he asked opening it to a random page.
"Yes professor, I wrote the book. I have always wanted to be a spell crafter, potions crafter, and a duelist. While I am excellent at potions I would rather do spells as I find them more interesting." she said looking at the book with slight anxiety.
"Would you mind demonstrating, a spell or two?" asked the Headmaster. Taking the book Ezra flipped to the spell section, she knew exactly what spell to use. She had modified the spell aguamenti and made it...solid.
Transfiguring a small ink bottle into a cup( a feat that impressed McGonagall) she pointing her wand in front of her and chanted, "Glacies"
A stream shot out of her want but as she moved her wand the stream began to solidify into one chunk, it was ice. Still having the ice under her control she changed its shape and texture(snow to solid ice and vice versa) until she set it into the cup and chanted, "Aguamenti!" turning the ice into water which she then proceeded to drink.
"A spell that summons ice…." murmured Slughorn in awe. He knew that inviting her to join his Slug Club was a good idea and he knew that she was definitely talented in potions, even more so than both Severus and Lily but he never expected this.
"Could you show us one of the potions?" asked professor Flitwick, he knew that the girl was a genius at charms but he wanted to know how far her genius went. Despite the fact that all of her teachers knew that she always got excellent grades, rarely getting questions wrong.
"Sure, I just need my kit," she said as she pulled her potions kit out of her school bag. However to the surprise of most of the teachers, not Flitwick though, her arm almost disappeared completely into the bag.
"It's somewhere around here," she mumbled as she pulled out a potions kit. Setting a small cauldron on the floor she lit it, filled it with water and began to pull out ingredients.
Carefully measuring each ingredient out she began to put some in and stir them. Slughorn watched with nervous eyes, he saw a pair of ingredients that entered the cauldron that should never be put together, and yet they were. By the end of thirty minutes, she pulled out the total of twelve small vials of the potion. Each one laid neatly in a row.
"I call it, Forceful sleep.," she said with a smile, "When directly drank it puts the drinker into a restful, dreamless sleep, each hour is worth a drop. You have to be careful when you use it. It can also be used to spike a drink or food." she said as if she had done it before.
"Ms. Potter, you haven't used this on anyone...have you?" asked Professor McGonagall.
"I have actually. Although the only one whom I have used it on without consent it James, that was over Christmas break. He didn't sleep for three days straight so I forced him to drink 24 drops so he could sleep for a full day." she admitted.
"Can't get you in trouble for something you did at home now, can I?" joked professor McGonagall.
"No, I don't believe you can professor." agreed Ezra.
"Madam Pomfrey would love these," said professor Flitwick gazing at the potions, "She could put the students to sleep and they wouldn't have to feel the brunt of the pain."
"I do have an antidote." the student pointed out as she pulled a vial out of her bag.
"I make sure that I only have plastic vials so they don't break and mix and I carry five full bottles of antidote for every potion I can make so that I am ready for any emergency," she added.
"Might I ask a question?" asked Professor Slughorn.
"Of course professor," said Ezra smiling.
"How did you mix the beetle juice and the tantalus hair? They have never been used before because they cannot mix, how did you pull that off?" asked the professor. At this Ezra smiled, thanks to learning and visiting Lily she learned a lot about the muggle world, especially their technologies.
"I used a muggle substance." she said pulling black powder in a jar out of her bag, "It's called gunpowder. It allows them to mix. The only issue with using gunpowder is that when fire touches it, it will explode." she knew how that worked out, she had accidentally exploded twice before she got the potion right.
"You never took muggle studies," said Professor McGonagall, she knew all of her Gryffindors schedules. Especially the Potter Siblings(as James caused so much trouble) and she knew for a fact that neither of them has ever taken muggle studies.
"Lily is muggle born, not only did I visit her over break but she taught me about the muggle world," explained Ezra as she began to clean up her stuff. Dumbledore looked at the young witch in front of him and wondered how she would turn out when she got older. She had ambition, she could be cunning, manipulative and crude. But she was also loyal, kind, brave, honorable, noble and intelligent. She had many traits from all of the houses, so much so that she was actually a hatstall. The sorting hat had taken six minutes to sort her.
4th Year- Sirius and Ezra….wait what?
It was their fourth year and Sirius was nervous. Professor McGonagall told them that there was going to be a ball. While he was the school heartbreaker there was one particular girl that he had his eye on since his second year. She was strong and crude but she was also kind and gentle. Ezra Potter got along well the Marauders however he had developed a large crush on his best friends little sister. That, however, was not something he could tell anyone, especially James.
Ezra didn't care about balls and the like. However she did have something that she wouldn't mind, and that was to be asked to the ball by a certain boy. While he was a year older than she, due to her moving up they were in the same year. However...he was her brother's best friend. This boy that she had a crush on since first year was Sirius Black. Now, as much as she loved and trusted her brother, she didn't trust him with this secret. No, this secret was entrusted to Lily Evans.
"So Lils... who are you going to the ball with?" asked the black haired girl lifting her gaze from her book to the auburn-haired girl who was blushing furiously.
"N-No one," she said her face reddening.
"If you want I could ask him for you," said Ezra smiling. Lily had helped her out with her personal studies and creations, helping her with anything made Ezra feel good. She owed Lily a lot for helping despite said girls protests against Ezra owing her anything.
"Yeah, its…...no. Even if I got to go with him it wouldn't be fun, while I do have a slight crush on him, he still annoys the crap out of me," said Lily as she huffed the red leaving her face.
"James might be a handful Lils but he can be a gentleman, that is if he grows a pair." teased Ezra knowing that her friend secretly had a crush on her brother, while it was rather obvious, James was as dense as a rock when it came to her feelings. Plus that was also one of the reasons she told Lily about her crush on Sirius because the same situation could be said for Lily. But instead of your brothers best friend, its best friends brother.
"Shh! He could hear you! If he did I don't think that I would ever hear the end of it." groaned Lily at the thought of James asking her out relentlessly.
"No one is in the common room except us, I honestly think that you're being over dramatic over it. Chances are either he gets dared to ask you by Sirius, grows a pair and asks you himself, or he doesn't ask at all and continues to be a dense moron." Listed Ezra thinking of the many ways that James could ask Lily to the ball.
"What about Sirius? Think he would ask you?" asked Lily attempting to get the girl back.
"Nah, one he doesn't have the balls, two he knows how overprotective James is over me, and three, he probably thinks that I would hex him if he tried." Listed Ezra thinking of all of the reasons why he wouldn't, "Plus, I don't think he feels that way about me."
At the same time, the girls were having this conversation, outside the Marauders were having their own conversation. James was lying in the grass throwing a ball in the air near the lake. As Remus, Peter and Sirius discussed the ball.
"Oi, James, what're you thinking about over there?" asked Sirius catching the ball that James was throwing.
"Well, I don't really like the idea of guys asking my sister out," said James thinking back to the other pureblood families that only truly desired his sister for her dowry.
"Chances of that are low man, she would hex them silly before they had a chance to run after asking," said Sirius chuckling. Truthfully that was another reason he didn't want to ask her, the pair had a good friendship and that would just ruin it.
"While she isn't a rule breaker, threatening people is something she would definitely do," said Remus, or moony as they started calling him after finding out about his little furry problem.
"Yeah, not only that but she can be worse than any Slytherin," said James thinking to the incident during Christmas.
"Your kidding!" cried Sirius shocked that someone like Ezra could ever be as awful as a Slytherin.
"Yeah..S-She might b-be scary but she isn't t-that bad." agreed Peter.
"Is that how you think of her?" Asked Remus.
"In our first year she spiked my drink with a potion she crafted and it put me to sleep for a full day." Deadpanned James.
"Oh, I know that story. She said that you didn't sleep for three days straight." Pointed out, Sirius. James looked at his friend. He knew that Sirius and Ezra were good friends but something like this wouldn't enter in a conversation, would it? Especially since she knew the reason he wasn't sleeping at the time.
"She also pranks me relentlessly over the holidays." Said James recalling what he sister had done.
"She does what?!" Half shouted Sirius out of shock. Remus and Peter also had a hard time believing this.
"Yeah, the last one she pulled on me was horrible. Not only did she manage to change both my eye and hair color, but somehow she crafted a potion and I could only speak backwards." Said, James.
"Who knew that she could be such a prankster." Said Remus contemplating if she would ever do the same to him.
"S-she wouldn't do I-it to us r-right?" Asked Peter hoping to never have to be the victim of her pranks.
"Not sure, although I've glanced at some of the stuff in that book of hers, is I could convince her to help us, we could turn the school inside out." Said James mischievously.
"So, who do you think will ask her to the ball?" Asked Sirius wondering who besides him would desire to attempt such a thing.
"Frankly, I don't care." Admitted James to everyone's surprise.
"That's something I never thought I'd hear you say." Said Remus.
"What c-caused t-this James?" Asked Peter. Sirius wondered if he actually would get a chance to ask her.
"While I don't like guys looking at her, it a fact that she's pretty. I accept that there will always be those who are attracted to her, but what I don't like are those people who desire her because she has a high inheritance. Honestly, as long as the guy doesn't break her heart and actually loves her, he can go ahead." Said James leaning back nonchalantly.
"So just any guy can ask her out?" Asked Remus in awe that his friend was capable of being so serious.
"Well sure. But if he hurts her, let's just say I'll do more than prank the bastard." Said James darkly as the other felt unsettled with the change of atmosphere.
"So, do you want him to ask you out?" Asked Ezra at the now blushing redhead.
"N-no! That would be embarrassing!" She said trying to shrink away from the younger girl.
"Okay, how about this if I can convince him to ask you and you say yes, I will let you have one of you know what for the dance." At this Lily perked up. She knew what the potion in question was, a potion Ezra appropriately named The Glamour Potion. It enhanced a person's normal beauty naturally. While Lily wasn't always into that sort of thing, seeing James's face would be worth it.
"Deal." She said before frowning, "what do you get in return?"
"The opportunity to one, blackmail my brother. Two, see his reaction to you being completely knock out gorgeous, not that you aren't already. And three, so that I may tease him about this for the rest of his life." She said listing each thing with her fingers.
It just so happened that the Marauders entered the common room. Glancing that way and smirking,
"Hey, Lily I dare you to say yes to the first question James asks you." Challenged Ezra.
"You're on." Said, Lily, as Ezra got up from the table and walked over to the marauders.
"Hey, James?" Asked Ezra sweetly.
"Yeah, sis?" He asked wondering what his sister was going to ask him.
"Have you asked someone to the ball yet?" She said smiling.
"No, why?" Said the confused boy.
"Grow a pair and ask someone then." She said crossing her arms.
"I doubt Lily would say yes Ezzy." Said James knowing that Lily would hex him before she ever went with him.
"James Fleamont Potter, I dare you to go and ask Lily to go with you to the ball." She declared.
"She's got you, James." Said Sirius patting his friend in his back, "good luck." James glared at his sister before walking up to Lily, while he asked her out a lot asking her to a ball was something that he was nervous about.
"Ezra, what are you planning?" Asked Remus accusingly at the girl.
"Just watch." She said pointing at James and Lily.
"Hey Evans, will you go to the ball with me?" He asked confidently hoping that his nerves would not get the better of him.
"Screw you Erza!" Shouted Lily as the other girl burst out laughing. Lily's face was a bright red as everyone watched the younger girl laugh. Sirius couldn't help but think that her laugh sounded melodic.
"Am I missing something?" Asked James looking at the exchange between Lily and his sister.
"James, yes I will go to the ball with you." Said Lily huffing as she sat back down and pulling her wand out.
"Glacies!" Said Lily shooting ice out of her wand at Ezra.
"Aguamenti!" Countered Ezra as she proceeded to be drenched in water.
"Lily never attacks people…" said Remus in awe that the well behaved Lily Evans would ever do something like she just done.
"For your information, Ezra set James and I up." Said Lily.
"What!?" Shouted the marauders looking at the girl who was still laughing.
"Yup, when you four entered the common room she dared me to say yes to the first question James asked," at this explanation, James began laughing.
"She really did set us up!" James exclaimed as Remus shook his head chuckling.
"H-how did she g-get it to work?" Asked Peter in awe that she managed to trick both of them.
"Your both so cute together." Said, Ezra, as she wiped a tear from her eye. She resisted laughing once more looking at Lily and James's faces as they had both turned red in embarrassment.
"How are you not in Slytherin again?" Asked James wondering how his sister managed to pull off such a trick.
"And you think I wouldn't pull off any sort of prank or anything of the sort after watching you do it repeatedly?" deadpanned Ezra, living with a marauder she obviously would learn a thing or two.
"She's got you, James!" Said Sirius struggling to contain his laughter.
"Oh yeah?" Challenged James before Lily pulled him back and whispered in his ear. As no one could hear her, when Lily smirked at Ezra, Ezra knew what was going to happen next.
"Sirius, I dare you and Ezra to go to the ball together!" Said James struggling to contain his laughter.
"WHAT!" Everyone but Lily and James shouted.
"I thought you didn't want anyone to go with her?" Asked Sirius attempting to get out of the arrangement.
"Severus owes me forty sickles!" She announced triumphantly standing up from her position on the floor, as she had fallen laughing so hard.
"You made a bet with Snivellus?" Asked James, he knew that Severus and Ezra were on good terms but she never would have expected her to dare or make bets with him.
Smacking James upside the head Lily looked at Ezra "what did you two bet on?" Asked Lily.
"I told him that I could get you to be manipulative or mischievous, he that it would be impossible!" She said cackling, "looks like I won!" She said heading for the portrait.
"I'm going to collect my money, taa ta~!" She said exiting the common room.
"James your a really bad influence on her." Said Lily glaring at the boy.
"How? She doesn't even join us in pranks or hexing people." He said.
"I believe it was Ezra who messed up professor Binns classroom." Said Remus.
"That was her?!" Asked James and Sirius as Peter and Remus laughed.
"You mean you didn't know?" Asked Remus.
"I did, after all. She got me and Severus to help." Said Lily smirking at the marauders.
"You? Lily Evans the girl who never gets in trouble, played a prank?!" Asked James shocked that the girl he had been crushing on would do such a thing. Although, while James could be quite dense he did dare Sirius to go to the ball with his little sister because it was obvious that they were crushing on each other. He just wondered why she hadn't told him yet.
"Your sister had rubbed off on me, plus unlike most of your pranks it was both easily reversed and no one got hurt." Admitted Lily. While she wasn't a prankster she wasn't going to be a complete buzzkill.
Three weeks later at the ball, nothing could have gone more perfect, everyone had a blast. Severus was secretly jealous that Lily went with James although he knew that Ezra was behind that. As the ball was coming to a close Sirius couldn't keep it in anymore, he loved Ezra. Standing out in the courtyard he told her how he felt.
Ezra was beyond happy, she had no idea that her feelings would be reciprocated. The two spent a lot of time together, however as they were lost in their own they didn't see, James, Peter, Remus Lily, Marlene, Alice, Frank Longbottom watching. Alice and Frank went to the ball together, Marlene went with Remus and Peter just hung out wherever. James smirked at the sight glad that the two were happy. He trusted Sirius enough to know that his little sister was in great hands.
7th Year- Graduation
It was the final day of their Hogwarts career. The Marauders and friends were all discussing what to do next. Lily was going to attend a family reunion, she invited James, Ezra, and Sirius to join. As the group sat overlooking the lake James nodded to Ezra as she stood up dragging Lily with her.
"Lils, how do you feel?" asked the younger woman as only James and Sirius knew the plan.
"What do you mean, how do I feel?" asked the auburn haired woman.
"You were raised in a muggle family, thrown into the world of magic and now you're graduating from Hogwarts, how do you feel?" she clarified.
"Good, I mean it's strange but good." Said Lily after a moment of pondering, when she entered Hogwarts she never thought that she would make such great friends who would eventually become like family to her.
Smirking Ezra made a rotation motion and pointed behind Lily. Lily turned around to find Jamestown on one knee smiling up at her, taking her hand and giving her a smile everyone knew what was going to happen next.
"Lily Evans, from the day we met I have always loved you. As much of a pain in the ass as I can be you still have shown me kindness and love. So, would you give me the pleasure of taking your hand in marriage and the honor of you calling me your husband?" He Asked as Lily felt her eyes begin to tear up.
"Yes...Yes of course!" Said Lily jumping into his waiting arms as he stood up. The two shared a passionate kiss.
"Get a room you two if you're going to start snogging." Said Sirius as his girlfriend, Ezra smoked him upside the head before pulling him into a kiss. Not that he was complaining. Thus their time ended at Hogwarts, the Marauders(who have now added Lily and Ezra into their ranks for obvious reasons) knew that they were in for many more adventures. However dark times were rising and each moment spent in happiness will be balanced be terrible sorrow. Some of which will come in ways which were not expected.
