Chapter 1
1978
"I now present the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's class of 1978" Professor Dumbledore bellowed from the podium as an immense amount of applause commenced.
All the graduating students, who had their best robes on beamed as family members snapped photos. The clapping died down as Dumbledore raised his hands in the air.
"Let the feast begin!" Food magically appeared on the tables that were spread around the Hogwarts grounds, many Muggle parents were bewildered by the sudden change in the tables. The graduating students all rushed down from where they were standing to their parents, friends and families. The guests and students ate their feast and talked wildly with their friends and family. The Hogwarts choir, who were younger students, stood in their formation on the bleachers and began to sing the school song for every one's enjoyment.
"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts.
Teach us something please, whether we be old and bald,
Or young with scabby knees, our heads could do with filling,
With some interesting stuff, for now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff, so teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot, just do your best, we'll
Do the rest, and learn until our brains all rot."
Many of the old Hogwarts alumni sang along with them. According to tradition, you sing the song to any tune you want, many professors thought the idea was absurd, but Dumbledore always enjoyed it thoroughly. All the Gryffindors sat together with their parents. Lily's parents seemed intrigued by the Potters, and the Longbottoms, for this was the first time they had met any of Lily's friend's parents. Of course Petunia wasn't present, as she wouldn't allow her self to mingle with other "freaks." Lily was essentially glad the Petunia wasn't there. Professor McGonnagal, gingerly tapped her glass with her knife, and every turned into her direction. "Pardon me for interrupting, but I would like kindly like to give a round of applause for our Head Boy and Girl, who did a very magnificent job this year and I'm personally much honored to have had them reside in my house. Please give a hand to Lily Evans and James Potter." James stood up and beamed, he loved attention, and some people knew it too well. Though his lust for it never interfered (anymore) with his relationship with people. Lily blushed horribly and remained sitting until Sirius picked her up and put her on top of the chair, so she would be a tad more visible than she had wanted. She quickly sat down; unlike James she hated being the person everyone was staring at.
Soon the clapping died down and with every minute, their time at
Hogwarts grew nearer and nearer to an end. Sadly, the time came where they would walk out of those gates and never have to go to Potions or Transfiguration or Charms ever again., even Sirius seemed sad to leave a school. Remus on the other hand, looked like he was going to burst into tears, although he was too manly for that nonsense. Peter just looked plain and frumpy as usual.
Lily finally found the carriage that her parents were in, she was about to get in when she realized with a pang, she had forgotten to say goodbye to James, how stupid of her.
She briskly walked around trying to find him, when she finally found him joking around with him friends. She jogged over to them, and pecked James on the check, completely surprising him and the others.
"I just wanted to say good bye, not that this'll be the last time we see each other." Lily said smiling.
"Better not be" Remus said chuckling.
"Don't worry; we should all meet up in Hogsmeade sometime soon, very soon." Sirius added. He glanced at his watch and groaned.
"Erg, the more quickly time passes, the sooner I have to return to the home where every one hates me" Though the last thing he said would've made anyone feel sorry for him, Sirius was too proud to let anyone think that way about him, according to him, it was normal and he wasn't different from anyone else. After saying the tedious goodbyes that nearly made many of the guys tear up. They were on their way. looking back at the castle they have come to know and love, was now only a memory, but it wasn't the last of those darn Marauders.
