MEANT TO LIVE
Prologue
Literature is known to be the art to provoke emotions through words...so I think that as long as the piece you're reading gets to you, then the author will be satisfied. That is what I love about books, that you get to experience with the characters of each story, sometimes you are compatible, sometimes you clash.But either way each book turns into a journey you get to share somehow.
And what you are about to read is the journey of five people...and how one event changed their lives.
They were just eleven when they all met
"This is James Potter and Sirius Black and I am Elizabeth Stern".the three were practically of the same height. The girl had long curly blonde hair that clashed with the jet black hair of both boys. She had dark big blue eyes, and a pretty smile. The boy called James had unruly hair, spectacles, and a mischevious grin while Sirius had grey eyes, nice hair and a twinkle in his eyes..
"I am Lily Evans and this is Remus Lupin. Nice to meet you"She had orange hair and curly, rosy cheeks, and big green eyes.. Remus had light blue eyes, dirtyblonde hair and a shy smile.
"I am sorry but all the compartments are occupied. Can I sit here?" asked a little blonde boy as he opened the door of the compartment, he was shorter than the other boys.
"Of course" nodded Elizabeth "What's your name?"
"Peter. Pettigrew"
Destined to be together
"I can't believe we all got sorted intro gryffindorf" squealed Lily happily as they went into the common room.
" James you should've seen Peter's face when he was up in the stool"laughed Sirius
"I was nervous" Peter stuttered.
"It's okay Peter" said Elizabeth turning to glare at Sirius and James who were laughing.
"I'm just glad we are in the same house" said Remus quietly.
A wonderful friendship began to blossom, and as the years started to pass, they grew more fond of each other, more close to each other and so...
Secrets were revealed.
"How did you know?"asked Remus panicked, they had discovered his secret, they would hate him.
"Your mother getting sick at the same time each month?"said James questiongly.
"I understand" muttered Remus "I am sorry, it was good while it lasted."
"What are you talking about?" asked Sirius confused.
"Our friendship,I know nobody wants to be friend with a werewolf"he said sadly.
"Bollocks! We do!!!" James said a little more loud that he intended"and we don't mind and all"James smiled and hugged his friend
"Really?"asked Remus hoping he had not heard wrong.
"We're mates, brothers. Right Peter?" Sirius said.
"We don't care if you're a werewolf. You're still Remus Lupin,our friend." Peter said honestly.
Bonds were made
"The marauders?" asked Elizabeth "That's the best you could come up with?"
"Hey it has ring!"protested James.
"Sure it does" Lily laughed.
"It's a great name, don't listen to them" said Sirius
"They'll become legendary with that name" said Elizabeth between laughs
"Don't push it" warned Remus.
Feelings started to blossom
"Lily, Liz wait will you to the Halloween ball with me and Sirius?" asked James Potter nervously. While Sirius just stood ther and gave them his best smile.
Lily turned to Liz and with a look, they came to a decision. Elizabeth smiled "Yes, James we'll go with you"
Paths were chosen
"Pranking is all those two seem tothink about" said Elizabeth annoyed."That's because they're boys" explained Remus.
"Geez, really?Hadn't noticed" said Lily as she watched James ans Sirius planned excitedly another one of their famous pranks.
"What is wrong that?"asked Peter.
"Nothing..."they said in unison and lef the room.
Jealousy lead to romance"I am sorry for punching Seth" Elizabeth was standing in front of him looking anything but thrilled"It's just that I like you" blurted out Sirius.
"Oh""Oh?That's all you have to say??"asked Sirius exasperated.
"You punched my boyfriend because you like me??!!"asked Elizabeth skeptically.
"Yes..." said Sirius, and he turned to leave. She was really mad, didn't believe and he couldn't think of something else to do or say.
"Sirius wait"Elizabeth called running after him. When she stopped in front of him she leaned and kissed him" I like you too" she grinned.
Games were played"James get back here!!!" said Lily yelling chasing James "Give me my badge back!!"
"Don't, she and Moony are traitors!!" said Sirius accusingly.
"Padfoot, just because we're prefects doesn't mean we are traitors" said Remus seriously.
"Try telling them James that" said Elizabeth laughing.
"They'll get over it" said Peter smiling"They just love to chase each other"
Desires were expressed
"Potter will you ever just kiss me" said Lily as they layed down on the ground watching the stars.
"I..." said James caught by surprise. Lily laughed at his clumsinnes and turned to face him "Or will I have to?" she said crushing her lips against hss, and letting all the bottled up emotions of years finally flow free.
Sixth year came and they had it all, it was a promising year. But what they had hoped to be the best year, took a turn for worse. Because this year not would only break their hearts and hurt their friendship, but it would change their lives forever,and overcome their happiness and innocence with darkness and anger...
