We want comments, suggestions, and (constructive) criticism. BTW this is going to be a very looooong fanfic so be patient. Also, we aren't completely following the books, so don't get mad... Hope you like it!

My Seven Years of Destruction
NOT A Lily and James novel. A Maurauder's Novel. Siriusly.
Lily POV
Hogwarts. I am finally on my way! Even the way through platform 9 3/4 was magical. I sighed contentedly and walked to board the train. I wandered the passages throughout the train, looking for any empty compartments. I saw groups chatting excitedly. There didn't seem to be any empty compartments. I looked for Severus and eventually found him sitting with a bunch of boys who looked like they wanted to hex me.
"I wouldn't sit with them if I were you." A boy spoke behind me. He was somewhat pale and sandy haired with a thin scar at his jaw-line. He was totally cute. I felt myself go red. I'm usually never this way with boys!
"Why?" I asked.
"Well, considering the way you're looking at everything, I'd say you were muggleborn, and they," he gestured at the boys with Severus, "hate muggleborns. You can come to my compartment."
"Okay." I said. He really was attractive. I followed him to a compartment that had three boys and a girl inside. Two of the boys had black hair, one of which had glasses, the other one was super cute. The third boy was short and still had most of his baby fat. The girl had dark brown hair and blue eyes and was prattling to the cute black haired boy about uniforms.
"There you are Remus!" The boy who was talking to the girl spoke, "We thought you got lost on your way to the loo!"
"Thanks Sirius." Remus replied dryly. Now I know both of the cute guys names! Sirius and Lily. . . hmm. . . not bad. I like Remus and Lily better though.
"Who's that?" The girl asked. Remus looked at me sheepishly.
"I'm sorry I don't know your name..." He smiled apologetically.
"Smooth Remus, real smooth." The boy with glasses sneered. Fury boiled in my gut.
"At least he found me, but then if he didn't I wouldn't be stuck here with you. Not that I'm not happy you found me Remus." I looked hurriedly at Remus to see if I had upset him. He was trying to hold back a laugh his eyes on the boy with glasses. I looked at what he was looking at and saw the boy looking awestruck that I had come up with a comeback so soon. He opened his mouth to smite me with his words.
"James - chillax!" Sirius interrupted, "I like this girl, she's firey, she's definitely a keeper." He grinned. I felt a burning sensation at his compliment.
"Let me formally introduce you," Remus said, "That's James, he likes to argue, " He pointed at the boy I had yelled at, "That's Marlene, although she likes to be called Marley," He pointed at the girl, "That's Peter," He gestured to the chubby boy, "and that's Sirius."
"I'm Lily." I said simply.
"Lily like the flower?" The boy named Peter asked.
"Duh!" James said.
"Lily-flower, daarrrling, will you go and get me a Pumpkin Pasty?"
"Sure," I grumbled, "I'm going to use the loo too."
"Wow," He said as I left, "That never works!" I wandered back through the train on a quest to find Sirius a Pumpkin Pasty.
Sirius POV
"Wow, that chick is hot!" I remarked as the firey redhead left. I noticed James and Marlene were unusually quiet.
"What's wrong James," I ask, "Cat got your breeches? Just because you got pwned by a –" I was cut off by a jab in the ribs by one irritated James and a sharp remark for what I was about to say from Marlene.
"I thought she was nice!" Marley said, " At least now I won't have my parents up my back telling me to get a friend whose a girl instead of romping around with a bunch of guys. . ." I chuckled at that. Marlene was always a riot.
"So, we all want to be in Gryffindor, right?" I ask knowing the answer.
"No. . . I want to be in Slytherin." Marlene says with a straight face.
"Marley, NO! YOU HAVE TO BE IN GRYFFINDOR, WITH ME!" I yell at her, the sarcasm missed on me. I kinda stink at catching sarcasm...
"Relax Siri, I was just pulling your tail, of course we are." My heart's still beating at a million miles an hour. Why would it be though?
"I got an order for several Pumpkin Pasties here." Says a voice. I turned and saw Lily standing there with a couple dozen pasties.
"Wow Sirius, she knows you already! Maybe she'll be in Ravenclaw, only a fool would bring you one pumpkin pasty." Remus said while glancing sideways at Peter, who had only brought me one the first time I asked.
"What's Ravenclaw?" Lily asks. We all became deadly silent and stared at her. I would have thought that Lily would already know something about the houses.
"It's okay," Remus said kindly. " There a four school houses, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff." He continued explaining about the founders and the houses while I played Exploding Snap and planned a prank with James.
A few hours later, an irritated Lily and Marlene smelling of dungbombs left the compartment, dressed in matching polka-dotted suspenders, courtesy of me, James, and Zonko's Joke shop.
"It doesn't matter now anyway, we already have to change for Hogwarts," said Marlene as she left, though she was clearly aggravated. Now it was just us boys. Not for long though. A horde of Slytherins entered our compartment. Íon was leading them. My dear cousin.
"Hey Cousin."
"Íon," I said, inclining my head.
"I wanted you to meet some of your soon to be fellow Slytherins."
"Go to hell, Íon," I said in response.
He laughed. "I told you he was feisty. See you around Sirius." He and his disgusting crew left.
"Or not..."" I muttered under my breath. I hated Íon. He was older than me by three years, he was a fourth year. He was a pureblood maniac, just like my parents and the rest of my psycho family.
Lily and Marlene came back to the compartment.
"Who was that?" Lily asked.
"My stupid cousin," I said trying to act casual, while really sighing in relief at his exit.
James POV
Sirius was quite upset about Íon. Ever since Mum had first forced me to go to one one those "pureblood parties" (my Mum doesn't like to go to them either, she just thinks it's polite) we had been best friends. I had met him through his Mum, and at first I thought that he would be stuck-up, like his Mum. She had left us alone, glad to be rid of Sirius for the rest of the party. His first words to me were, "Do ya wanna play a prank on them?"
For the rest of the first night, we had played prank after prank on all of the high and mighty pureblood maniacs. In the success of our first pranks, we had sworn that we would be loyal and brave Gryffindors, together. Sirius also trusted me by confessing about the hate he felt for all the pure nonsense, letting me into his deepest secret.
Marley and Lily came back in the compartment. It was obvious that Sirius liked Marley, although I don't think she knew. We had known her for a while too. We had met her at another party, although this time she was there because half-bloods were allowed.
As for me, I had very confused feelings about Lily. She was cute and firey, and she had the most stunning green eyes that I have either seen, but I could tell that she liked Remey and Sirius. She had already decided that she didn't like me, and I had a feeling that we would either be best friends, or worst enemies. I would settle for either.
Judging by the look of absolute loathing she gave me when she entered the compartment, I was guessing the latter.
Marlene POV
You know how people look at you and have a feeling that they love you? Well, right when I saw Lily , I knew she was going to be my best friend. Finally I that I would have a girl to talk to, a girl to help prank the guys, a girl to paint my nails with and act all girly with. I know it's cliche, but, doesn't every girl need another woman to relate too? Now she just needs to be in Gryffindor. Then I'll be able to tell her about my. . . problemo, so to speak.
"James!" Sirius called.
"James!" Sirius called again when James didn't answer.
"JAMES!" And of course, a third time.
"WHAT SIRIUS! YOU COULD JUST BLOODY TELL ME INSTEAD OF BLOODY SCREAMING MY BLOODY NAME THREE TIMES!" Boys. They are always so loud and so vulgar.
"Blimey Jamesie I thought you were dying or something..." Wow why does Sirius always have to be, so, so not Sirius?
"But I am Sirius!" Said boy looks at me strangely and as if he was expecting me to laugh. Ugh. Sometimes I just get caught up in my thoughts and I don't realize that I spoke my thought out loud. There has been some pretty funny stories when I say what I was thinking about, like when Sirius, James, and I were at an ice cream shop and I wondered, out loud, (I swear it was without knowing) if the cow that "jumped" over the moon actually jumped, or if it was levitated. I know. Sad; right? Well, that's another story.
"Sirius, I think she knows that you're Sirius! She's known you for five years," Remus said reasonably.
Remus POV
Sirius was so stupid sometimes, I mean seriously! He would crack that joke a million times, but never get it if someone else told it! You had to love him though, he was my friend, hopefully he would stay that way for a long time. Unless they found out. . . No I wouldn't let that happen.
"Remus!" A hand was waving in front of my face.
I blushed. I get zoned out thinking of my. . . problem.
"What were you thinking of?"
"Um. . . er, my rabbit?" Drat, it came out as a question, "Zelda. . . she's dying of. . . cancer." I was concerned with myself that the first name I thought of was Zelda...
"Why don't you heal her then?" Sirius questioned.
"Oh. . . um er. . . I'll do that. . . once I learn the spell."
"Can I meet your rabbit? This summer? I bet she's cute. What color is she? Is she black? I love black rabbits!" Peter exclaimed excitedly.
Crap.
"NO! She, um, has killer fangs!"
Sirius looked excited. "Really? I would like to see this killer rabbit!"
Double Crap. He definitely couldn't know!
"She's too, um, sick with a, um, hypothermia!" That's good, I congratulated myself, thinking that they probably wouldn't know what it meant.
"But it's not cold out!" said Lily.
Triple crap, I would have gotten away with it.
"Didn't your rabbit have cancer?" Marlene asked.
Darn these girls! I couldn't say without them correcting anything!
"We live in, er, Antarctica! Yeah, it gets pretty cold there!"
"And she has cancer? What an unfortunate rabbit!" Sirius asked, surprised.
"Yeah, she's my, um, furry little problem."
"Does she have problems a lot? That stinks, my bunny, her name's Floppy by the way, she never gets sick or has problems. She's black and has a white spot on her left ear. She normally wears her pink collar with the bells..." That – of course – was Peter blabbing on, and on, and on.
"Wait Peter, You have a rabbit?"
Lily POV
After the awkward conversation on rabbits, a prefect came into our compartment and announced that we would be arriving at Hogwarts in 30 minutes and that we ought to get into our robes. The males headed out to find a place to change while Sirius was pulled by James by the scruff of his neck yelling," Goodbye my daaaarling Lily-Flower, see you in a bit! Arrrggggg James you're gonna pull my bloody neck off!" Marlene and I sat alone in an awkward silence and then a blonde girl stumbled into our compartment.
"Have you seen a toad lately?"
"Umm... I saw one in my pond the other day..."
"No, I mean on the train, a boy named Frank lost his and I told him I'd help him find it," she said," By the way, I'm Alice."
"OHHH, that makes more sense... I'm Marlene and this is Lily, also known as Lily-Flower."
"Oh, so you're the one Sirius Black was shouting for at the top of his lungs in the corridor..." I sighed," Yeah, that's probably me."
Right on cue Sirius stepped into the the compartment, MOSTLY dressed in his robes, trailed by the other three boys. By mostly dressed I mean he was lacking a shirt...
"Black, get a shirt!" Marlene yelled covering her eyes.
"Blimey you'd think I was disfigured..." he said looking down to make sure. Boys... At that moment Remus realized Alice was also in the compartment.
"Hello, forgive Sirius he's... special," Remus said apologetically,"What's your name?"
Marlene and I introduced Alice to the boys and then she bid us farewell to resume her quest for the toad. Alice seemed nice. I hope she's in my house so we can be friends. At that moment we arrived at Hogwarts. I shrieked and the world went black. Seriously Black. No, not like that Sirius Black.
Hi guys! This is Rose! I noticed that the formatting got really, really , really messed up for this chapter and then when I tried to fix it it got worse. Then I finally got it to work! So this is it!
