Who's seen Saved by the Bell: The College Years Raises hand. Okay think
that (sorta) but with Lily, James, Sirius and some Remus but he's not
becoming an Auror so he's not in every chapter.
Okay, this is my first Lily and James fanfiction. It takes place the fall after their last year of Hogwarts. Lily, James, and Sirius are all studying to become Aurors and the ministry is set up "dorms" you can say. Think wizard college. Oh and Lily broke up with James after graduation because "things just weren't going to work out and she just wanted to be 'friends.'" Oh and I know they all graduated in the 70s or something but lets just pretend its present day cuz I can have more fun with the story (
Enjoy!

Lily Evans pulled her letter from the ministry out of her pocket once more. The address on her paper said Braxton Building, Room 342. She looked up at the brick building in front of her and nodded. This was the place she'd be living in for the next three years. She climbed the cement stairs and walked into the building. All over she could hear chatting and people enjoying herself. She climbed three flights of stairs and found room 342 fairly quickly and walked in. "Hello?" Asked the red head wearily. She looked around the room and didn't see anyone there. All of a sudden a girl burst out of a nearby room laughing with some guy. The girl stopped laughing abruptly and looked at Lily. There was only one word to describe the girl, gorgeous. She had glimmering blue eyes and long, angled, blonde hair. She was wearing a halter top with the British flag on it and tight red leather pants. The girl was nothing short of a supermodel.
"Who are you?" Questioned the girl in a snobbish way.
"I'm Lily Evans. I got a letter from the ministry saying this is where I'm living as I train to become an Auror." Said Lily.
"Oh. Lily is it?" Lily nodded. "I'm Debbie I guess I'm your roommate. Here are my rooms: Don't go in my room, don't eat my food, and don't talk to the guys I bring around here. Oh and don't use my condoms, that is if you'll have a use for them."
"Er, okay." Said Lily.
"That's a good girl." Said Debbie walking out of the room with the guy's hand griped tight on her butt. Lily rolled her eyes. She knew that living with Debbie was not going to be easy. Besides that she already had loud neighbors. She could hear two men laughing next door. Lily growled and walked over to the wall from where the noise was coming from.
"Hey, I can hear you over here. Can you please keep it down?" Asked Lily.
"No." Said one of the men briskly. Lily sighed.
"Please."
"If it means that much to you then fine." Said the other voice. The two voices seemed very familiar but Lily quickly dismissed it from her mind. The voices quieted down and Lily relaxed. She looked around at her already furnished apartment. All of the furniture was modern and a bit too tacky for her taste. She sighed and sat on the couch and put her head in her hands.

"Prongs this is gonna be awesome!" Shouted Sirius Black. "We *finally* have our own place! Isn't it great James?" Sirius looked down at his friend who was sitting on the couch staring at the floor. "James? James-y boy are you alright?" James looked up suddenly and nodded.
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine." He said quickly. He ran a frustrated hand through his messy, unkempt black hair and sighed.
"James, I've known you for seven years and I don't think I've ever seen you so depressed. What's wrong?"
"Lily." Sirius sighed and sat down next to his friend.
"Oh god not this again."
"I miss her."
"Prongs, it's been two months! Find someone else! Move on already."
"I've tried. Its just, we broke up on the train ride home and that's like the last memory I have of her: Her breaking up with me, kissing me one last time, then walking off with her dad as my heart crushed in two."
"At least you got one last look at her ass." Pointed out Sirius taking a sip of his butterbeer.
"That is one fine ass. Man if I can just squeeze it one last time!" James and Sirius laughed hysterically. Then they heard banging on the wall coming from the other side.
"Hey, I can hear you over here. Can you please keep it down?" Asked a female voice. Sirius shook his head.
"No." He replied.
"Please?" Asked the girl again sounding a little desperate. James covered Sirius's mouth quickly before he said something that might upset her.
"If it means that much to you then fine." He said as he moved his hand off of his friend's mouth. Sirius grinned.
"Did you hear that?" He asked standing up and heading over to the wall that they shared with the mystery woman.
"Hear what?" Questioned James.
"It's a lady." Said Sirius sounding like the ladies man. (I'm not saying that they know about the Ladies Man skit from SNL but that's how I wanted him to say it.) James laughed.
"And?"
"And I think that she might be the key to help get you over Lily."
"Nah." Said James.
"Yes! Don't you see? She's the key! All you have to do is walk over there one day and do the neighbor thing and ask for a 'cup of sugar' if you know what I mean." Suggested Sirius with a wink. James shook his head. "Come on! What happened to the James I knew? What happened to the Prongs I knew that would do anything to hex Snivellus?" Sirius looked at James and James realized he was right.
"Okay. Alright, I'll do it. The old James Potter is coming back!"
"Yes!" Shouted Sirius clapping his best friend on his back. "Yes this is going to be so awesome! When are you going to do it."
"Today. Right now." Stated James.
