Hey. This is the seventh year for James, Lily, the Maurauders and our extra charecters.

Lily Julianne Evans was always happy to leave home. Home was where hearts were broken, people were unhappy, and most of all, that's where Vernon Dursley called his "home". Despite protests from Lily, Jane and George wouldn't remove Vernon, because Petunia was happy with him. And, of course, Jane and George wanted her to be happy.
"Yeah, she's happy because she's getting laid every night," Lily said under her breath when her parents gave that excuse.
On the day of September 1, 1979, Lily left home. For school. As she walked onto Platform 9 ¾, she bid her parents farewell and a good year.
Lily walked into the train, heaving luggage through the corridors, when she spotted her two best friends. Juliette Starling and Charlotte Funke had been friends with Lily ever since the first train ride to Hogwarts.
Juliette was the true beauty of the three friends. She had long golden hair that was curly. Her eyes were deep, deep blue and her dimples were clearly noticeable on her creamy skin. Then Charlotte was the sweetheart of the group. She had a round, but not fat, face, her skin pale white. Big brown eyes and straight brown hair, made her appear ugly. But to her friends, she was anything but ugly.
"Morning Lils," Charlotte said in a sweet voice.
"Hey Lily," Juliette said.
"Charlotte! Juliette! You guys! I walk in after three months of not seeing each other and all I get is 'Hey' and 'Morning'?" Lily exclaimed.
Charlotte and Juliette laughed and got up to hug Lily. They told each other about their summers, which apparently were full of surprises.
Charlotte applied for some jobs and they all excepted, and Juliette's mom told her that Ben, Juliette's supposed father, wasn't really her father.
Finally, Lily had to ask.
"So…anyone seen-"
"Me, my Lily flower?" interrupted a loud voice.
James Potter opened the compartment door and came in, along with Sirius Black and the only civilized boy in the group (in Lily's opinion) Remus Lupin. Remus held a book and took the seat next to Charlotte while Sirius walked over to Juliette.
"Rather unfortunately, yes, I meant you Potter." Lily muttered.
"Lily, I think you would love dating me, I really do." James said.
Everyone in Hogwarts knew that from when James first saw Lily, he had fallen in love. He played pranks on her like no other, sat next to her whenever possible and at one point in 5th year; he had gone as far as stalking her. The plan would've worked well if Sirius hadn't "accidentally" pushed James over when they were next to Lily's bed. It resulted in screaming, pushing, and a LONG talk from Professor McGonagall on liking girls and going too far.
"Would I really?" Lily said smirking at James.
"You would ADORE it! We'd dance, and eat and drink and I bet MAYBE I could get you to L-O-V-E me." James replied.
"James," Lily whispered.
"Yes my dearest," James replied moving his face towards Lily's.
"You've been trying to get me to go out with you for four years. What makes you think this one will be any different?" she asked sweetly.
"Seven is the luckiest number?"
Lily looked at him. She was silent for a moment, then she said,
"Fine"
"What?" Sirius shouted.
"I'll go out with you once and see if I like it. But on one condition."
"Anything m'dear."
"Get out of this compartment and leave me be for now." Lily asked quietly.
James looked slightly heartbroken, but, this being a historical moment in his life, left happily.
"Lily!" Juliette exclaimed hair frazzled eyes wide open and gaping at her friend.
"He's been asking me forever, might as well try…" Lily answered, reading a magazine.
"You two will make a lovely couple," Charlotte assured Lily happily knitting.
"Oh, Sharly…" Juliette said.
Tears came into Charlotte's eyes. Charlotte loved Sirius Black. Last year when he and Juliette dated, she was devastated. He always overlooked her. But she loved him in spite of it. He dated "Scarlet women" as Charlotte put it, but not "fat, ugly, boring ones". Lily and Juliette tried to tell her she was anything but boring. And most definitely beautiful and slender.
"I'm fine. Really. NOthing a little bit of tea won't cure!"said Charlotte optimistically.
