Chapter One: Lily Evans

James Potter; sitting across from her at one of their lovely picnics, leaning over to kiss her tenderly,

Sirius Black; lying atop her in his bed, kissing her almost violently, leaving her love bites that she would need to cover up with a turtleneck, .

Remus Lupin; sitting next to her in the Shrieking Shack, pecking her on the lips, telling her how much he loved her,

Peter Pettigrew; biting his nails nervously with one arm around her shoulder, whispering secrets that never failed to make her laugh into her ear,

Severus Snape, running around the school every night with her, always excited to see the smile she wore around him.

Images of current events flashed before beautiful Lily Evans in her dreams each night. The five of these boys haunted and enchanted her dreams by night and her thoughts by day. She thought only of them; which one she liked best that day, which was annoying her most…et cetera. Of course, none of her classmates or even dormitory-mates knew of any of this.

Lily made sure that nobody would ever find out anything concerning her "scandalous" behavior. She didn't think of it as anything…slutty. She considered it to be more like "loving more than one person at once and letting them know."

Sure, she was a two-timer, (or maybe a five-timer) but it wasn't as if she was lying to anyone. She never told them that she wanted only them; she did tell them that she loved them, which was absolutely true.

Lily couldn't even think of what her roommates would say if they found out about any of this. "Whore" she knew they would call her behind her back. They already thought of her as something along the lines of a tramp, just because she hung out with four boys all the time, (nobody knew about Severus, not even that they were friends).

They all loved her though, even if they never showed it in public; only James was that ignorant. James knew that Lily wanted to keep their relationship a secret (he didn't know why though) but he continued to pledge his love for her in front of everyone. Lily wasn't the least bit worried; James had done this even before started going out.

James had pledged himself to her back their fourth year and she had repetitively refused him. He never got tired of it though, he kept going. It was his persistence that assured her that they would be an (almost) perfect match. He was the first of the five to ever love her and to receive her love. The more and more intense their relationship got, the more and more she longed for another:

Sirius. He was probably the best looking boy in all of Hogwarts, and Lily was quite fond of him. Sirius was probably two-timing Lily herself, he tended to do that to poor innocent girls. Lily was no innocent girl, though. The thought of anyone but herself with Sirius didn't bother her, it relieved her. She wasn't the only cheater…and she could trust him. Lily told him about all the other boys and he told her about the other girl(s). If he told about hers, she could always tell about his, so neither said a word. But Lily did love him, and part of him, no matter how small that part was, loved her right back.

Sirius and Lily never actually 'dated' or were ever 'dating'. He was the one that she could fool around with without getting hurt. They had more of a physical relationship, though she never once go anywhere beyond intense snogging with him (nor did she plan to).

Then, there was Remus. He was the only boy that Lily actually felt bad about. Remus was probably the kindest person that she had ever met. He had the most problems of anyone that Lily knew, yet he never said anything mean about anyone or did anything rude to another person. Lily knew how sensitive he was; she felt terrible about how she was treating him. She knew that if the boys found out, he would take it the hardest.

Remus and she could sit talking for hours, just relaxing together. Being in his company made her happy, it made her world a better place. Any of her worries were whooshed away when she was in his company, especially when it was just the two of them. They spent most of their time alone in the Shrieking Shack, just talking, cuddling, and occasionally some gentle, loving kissing.

Peter Pettigrew; such a character. He was always nervous and seemed anxious about every little thing. Peter was always fiddling with something, probably to distract him from being so worried. Lily remembered when Peter first asked her out:

Flashback

"Hey, Lily! Would you…uhhh… come take a walk with me? I…erm I want to talk to you." As Peter said this, he stuttered and stammered, all the while biting on his fingernails.

"Sure Peter, I'll be right there," Lily rushed over to him, admiring how cute he looked; short, plump, and very eager. She had always found him loveably attractive; but then again, Lily Evans found everyone loveable. She was just that kind of person.

They walked for a while, just chatting about things like exams and homework. After a while, Lily said, "Peter, I think that you said that there was something you wanted to talk to me about?"

"Oh…yes I believe there was something," his voice began to crack with every word muttered, "I was just wondering if maybe you would like to um…" he managed to get that much out, and then bent over, leaned to the side, and threw up. His cheeks grew pink with embarrassment.

"Peter! Are you alright? Do you need to be taken to the Hospital Wing or would you just like to sit and catch your breath?" Lily comforted him and brought him over to a small hill overlooking the lake.

"Tha…that's alright Lily, I think I'll be alright," he started biting his nails again, "I was just woh…wondering if you would like to um…be my er…girlfriend?"

"Oh Peter! I would just love that! But will you do me a favor please?" she knew that this was when she would either bless it or blow it; "Would you mind not telling anyone about this? I mean, I know that James really likes me and I wouldn't want his feelings to get hurt?"

"Most definitely, Lily. I'd do anything to make you happy." His words were a bit more confident this time; he knew he'd just completed his goal. Lily grinned, mission accomplished!

End Flashback

Lily knew that all of the boys would believe her story; they knew how she hated to hurt people's feelings. As for her story to James, she told him that Remus would be devastated, so he shouldn't tell anyone anything.

Easiest to tell was Snape. She didn't even need to lie; they both knew that their relationship could never be made public, so he pretended to hate her every minute that they were in the company of others. Their relationship was the most fun. He was so in love with her and she with him. They roamed the castle together; sneaking about and exploring a different part of Hogwarts each night. After each new find, they would have to mark it as their own. They only knew one way of doing that; giving themselves up to each other, body for body.

Though Lily loved each of her five boys dearly, she knew which one she would end up with. The one I'll end up is many things, but his is not Marauder, Lily said to herself. She knew her true love was and would always be Severus Snape. She was so confident of this that she snuck into the Slytherin boys' dormitory one night over Christmas break and lost her virginity to Severus Snape.

Flashback

"Slyonesdontlove" Lily whispered the password that Severus had given her into the portrait guarding the Slytherin common room. It was very different from the one she was used to, much darker and colder. And the warm colors that she was used to were replaced with cooler silver and green shades.

She looked out the window; what a beautiful evening. The darkness of the night was countered with the fat snowflakes falling slowly and gently through the sky. The full moon was out, that was the only reason that she could get out of the Gryffindor common room unseen. She knew that her 'friends' were already outside and transformed by the time she left.

Nobody was in the Slytherin common room, Severus told Lily that nobody stayed during the holidays except for him. "All of these horrible pure-bloods go home to be more spoiled by their rich parents. They have somewhere to go for Christmas, if I went home, Dad would beat me. He hates magic and everything to do with it…that's why he hits Mom," Snape had told Lily, much to her surprise.

Lily found the correct path to the boys' dormitory and snuck right in. Snape was sitting in bed, waiting for her. She'd told him that she would be coming on the night of the full moon, and that was the night that it was.

She immediately ran over to him and climbed into bed with him. She wrapped her entire body around his and kissed him romantically. Before they knew it, they were undressed and passionately making love for the very first time…

They both woke up the next morning, fully exposed and each thinking about the night before, savoring the memories. They sat in bed, laughing and snogging for a while more and then it was time for Lily to leave. Neither of them wanted her to go, but they knew that she had no choice. He sensually helped her get her clothing back on and she left with an "I love you" and a short peck on the lips.

End Flashback

Lily Evans had the ability to see the good in others that normal people could not. Lily Evans had a soft spot for anyone who did not belong, who did not have anyone else to go to. Lily Evans had looks that most people would kill for. Lily Evans had charm, lust, happiness, and kindness. Lily Evans had a problem; she was in love with five different boys.
