"MOONY!" hollered a seventeen year old boy, who then proceeded to jump on his friends back, but the two immediately fell to the floor of the train station, causing those who weren't already looking to look now.
"SIRIUS BLACK! You idiot what made you think I would be able to hold your fat arse? ... Hey James!" Said Mooney, as he pushed Padfoot off of him then brushed the dirt form his clothes, to the boy that was calmly approaching them.
"I think my arse is lovely and so do many other people!" Sirius replied.
"If you say so Padfoot" said James then turning to Remus, "Hey Moony, I'm surprised you weren't crushed from the weight with the all cookies and cake he's been eating when he comes to tea."
"You know I'm right here."
"Congratulations on Head Boy Prongs, I never got to congratulate you the full moon came right after you sent the letter."
"Thanks Moony don't worry about it, I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing yet, I mean I always thought you would be Head Boy, I don't understand why Dumbledore chose me, and mom thought it was a joke, she even punished me for it until Dumbledore wrote her telling that I really was Head Boy then, she about had a heart attack!"
"You shoulda been there Remus, I don't think that I've ever heard Alexandra yell that loud before and that includes the time me and James, decided to redecorate the house." Snickered Sirius
"I don't blame your mum, no offence James but you haven't ever been the ideal student, but Dumbledore must know what he's doing."
"I guess your right now does anyone know where Wormtail…" but James never finished his question.
"Hey guys!" gasped a flushed Peter Pettigrew also know as Wormtail "I just…got here…mum wasn't going…"
"Gosh, Wormtail take a breath, I don't want to have to carry you onto the train, when you end up passing out from lack of air." Said Sirius causing Peter to turn pinker.
"Oh…well… um… anyway mum almost didn't let me come back this year…" stuttered Peter
"What?!" asked Remus
"With You-Know-Who growing stronger she figures I'll be safer at home."
"That's ridiculous there's no place safer than Hogwarts!" replied an outrageous James.
"Try and tell my mum that, I had to pretty much fight her to let me go this morning"
"Well all that matters now is that you're here, but we better get a compartment now or there'll all be gone." Suggested Remus.
These four boys, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew and James Potter made up the group Hogwarts came to know as the Marauders. The Marauders saw fit to it that it was their job to reek havoc, make humor, be adventurous, and live life to its fullest. They had been friends since first year when they met on that first train ride to Hogwarts but over the years their friendship grew stronger as they found out secrets about one another, the most serious was Remus's, they had discovered he was a werewolf but instead of rejecting him like most of wizarding society they became illegal animagi. Which was were their code names came from, Remus the werewolf was Mooney, Peter was Wormtail and transformed into a rat, Sirius was Padfoot and became a dog and James was a stag called Prongs. Hogwarts students found it strange when the boys called each other these funny names but figured it to be another joke of theirs. The Marauders were loved by the majority of Hogwarts the few who disliked them consisted mostly of Slytherins, but it was impossible not to like them for they were outgoing, funny, friendly, fearless and handsome! Remus Lupin was the mysterious one, with sandy blonde hair, gray eyes and stood 5 feet 11 inches high, he was the most sensible one of the group and probably the most responsible. Sirius Black was the flirt and had black hair that fell elegantly just past his chin along with smiling ice blue eyes and stood about 6'3 with a strong build he was the least responsible of the group and always got in the most trouble. The prank planner and charmer of the group was James Potter, who had messy jet black hair and warm hazel eyes was about 6'1 and a strong build as well; he got in about as much trouble as Sirius but was currently in second place for most detentions ever received in Hogwarts history (Sirius was first). Last but not least was Peter Pettigrew he was the oddball of the group he had watery blue eyes, beach blond hair and was 5'7 and chunky, people never understood how he was a part of the Marauders, but none the less they accepted him.
"WOW, did you just see Melissa McGrady? I must say summer was good to her!" smiled Sirius as they sat down in their compartment.
"No, I wasn't looking, but do you mean that fifth year Ravenclaw, with the unibrow and acne that followed you all around last year?" grimaced James.
"Yeah but, now she's hot, I guess she finally learned how to use soap and tweezers!"
Remus rolled his eyes, at his shallow friends "Come on lets go James!"
"Where are you taking him?" asked Sirius lifting his eye brow.
"Yeah, where are you taking me?" questioned James
Remus stared at them then answered them like it was the most oblivious thing ."To the meeting, but we have to go now or were gonna be late."
"A meeting for what?" asked James
"AA's, sex addicts, sexual frustration, homosexuals…." Rambled Sirius
"It's for Prefects and the Heads."
"…. Anger management, Pyro's..." continued Sirius
"Come on lets go!" said Remus leaving Peter to deal with Sirius's continuation of meetings James and Remus could be going to.
"So where is this meeting?"
"In the first carriage but you have to meet with the Head Girl first and go over what your going to talk about in the meeting."
"What? This is my meeting?"
"Yes"
"But…"James said staring at him with his mouth open.
"Usually all Heads say is the responsibly the Prefects have, then give the new passwords for everything, arrange the next meeting and tell you to patrol the halls" by now they reached the prefect carriage and were at the door of the Heads James was staring at still staring at Remus opened mouthed when Remus opened the door and pushed him in saying "Good luck!"
"Potter?"
James knew that voice; it belonged to her, Lily Evans the beautiful red head, he turned his head to look at her and then gave her one of his famous James Potter grins.
"Evans"
Narrowing her eyes "What do you think your doing in here? This is the head carriage?"
"I know" grinned James pointing to the Head boy badge on his robes.
"Potter, give it back to the Head boy now and maybe I won't give you detention."
"I can't"
"Potter, I'm not going to play games!" hissed Lily.
"Come on Evans, I'm really Head Boy, let's get this meeting over then, we can have one of our own." Said a still grinning James
"Potter there's no way Dumbledore made you Head Boy!"
"MOONY!" yelled James as he opened the Head compartment to call for Remus.
"See Potter I knew you weren't Head Boy!" smirked Lily
"What?"
"Tell Lily I'm Head Boy!"
"Hello Lily! Congratulations on Head Girl!"
"Thanks Remus, same to you!"
"Lily I'm not Head Boy, James is"
"What?! That's impossible, He wasn't even a Prefect, and he's always in trouble! And I can't work with him he's a conceited, big headed prat!"
"Alright I'll leave you two alone…" said Remus backing out of the compartment
"Evans…." James almost whispered while she just sat there with her head in her hands this was defiantly not the reaction he expected maybe a little yelling but not silence.
Slowly Lily looked up with a tired face "Why do always have to ruin everything Potter? I was really looking forward to being Head Girl but now…"
James didn't know what to say, what did she mean? He always had to ruin stuff for her? So he said the first thing that came to his mind. "I'm sorry."
With a glare Lily snapped "Potter you didn't mean that I don't want any fake apologizes lets just get this meeting over with!"
"Lily…"
"Enough Potter, well anyway we need to hand out these sheets with the passwords to the Prefects and explain to them their duties, I'll cover that since I was a Prefect while you hand out those" she pointed to the passwords "and then well have the first meeting next Wednesday to give everybody time to settle in and from their we'll decide on a regular meeting time and schedule who will do rounds and on what days." Finished Lily briskly.
"…ok…"
"Then let's get this over with."
The last of the Prefects were filing out of the compartment and Lily was gathering her things, James was astonished of her ability to take control and make everyone listen, he wasn't sure why he never noticed it before, maybe they all were goody-goods or just not sure if they could test her just yet, but she still did do a good job today.
"Bye, Evans."
"Bye" responded Lily as she left the compartment, not even bother to look at him.
While walking back to her compartment she couldn't believe her luck Potter was Head Boy, what on earth was Dumbledore thinking? Not only was he not responsible and always in trouble but, it was common knowledge even to the Professors, that Potter and herself did not get along well. In fact Potter was pretty much the only one she didn't get along and that included the Slytherins!
Opening her compartment door to see her three friends chatting away she interrupted them by savagely saying "You won't believe who Head Boy is."
"Well give us a hint good or bad?" chuckled Marlene McKinnon a very pretty half-blood seventh year Gryffindor who was Lily's best friend. She only stood 5 feet 5 inches and had a petite frame with shimmery straight blonde hair and bright blue eyes that always seemed to be laughing. Marlene was a laid back, and outgoing girl who always had a new boyfriend, her friends would end up joking with her about her new choice of the week.
"Hmmm……the Slytherin Prefect Mulciber" asked Docras Meadowes another fellow seventh year Gryffindor friend of Lily's who was the tallest of the group standing 5'10 with a tough build she had dark brown hair and eyes and while Docras wasn't ugly many people looked past her, due to her outspoken and boyish personality . Docras was a pureblood, and she absolutely loved Quidditch, in fact she was beater for the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
"No way worse than a Slytherin… oh and he wasn't even a Prefect!"
"Is it Snape Lils, because I thought you two used to be friends?" asked Alice Prewett another Pure-blood Gryffindor friend of Lily's. She was a plain girl standing 5'9 with a willowy frame she had light blond hair and big brown eyes but always had a round face full of laughter allowing her to look pretty. She was very smart and had a motherly air to her, she was always the peacemaker after the girls had there quarrels.
"No, it's not a Slytherin, it's…."
"Potter! Right it has to be, you despise him almost as much as the Slytherins!" shouted Marlene as if she was on a game show.
"Yes, you know that prat always has to go and ruin everything!"
"Lily he's not that bad." Said Docras
"You're only saying that because he's your Bloody Quidditch captain! The stupid prat will take advantage of this whole thing and dock points, dish out detentions, and use the Heads room as place to plans pranks, have parties, and what else he needs it for! He's a bloody prick!" Finished a flushed and angry Lily Evans.
"Lils, clam down!" Alice said soothingly as she rubbed her back.
"Ugh, I can't because I know how it will be! I bloody hate the boy more than I hate the Slytherins!"
"Lily Evans stop saying that!" glared Docras
"It's true, if only he treated you the way he treats me!"
"What asking you out? What's so bad about that?" retorted Docras
"I agree with Docras, Lily you shouldn't say that and all he ever does is ask you out." said Marlene
"What is with you guys?! You're MY friends! You…"
"ENOUGH!" Yelled Alice cutting Lily off "look at you guys come on were fighting over who we hate more! How stupid is that? Anyway Lils how was your summer you never told me how your sister's wedding was?"
"It was…um…nice." Replied an ashamed Lily
"That doesn't sound very reassuring!" snickered Docras.
"It was very nice wedding, until Petunia got really upset, the DJ put on that song 'Do you believe in magic' at first she got upset at the DJ but then she turned to me saying I told the DJ to put that song on and only told him to play it to ruin her day, in the end mum had to come stop her she was starting to make a big scene of the whole ordeal."
"Did you tell him to play the song?" asked Docras "cause it would've served her right, she's always so mean to you, I saw how she treated you last year at the train station."
"NO! Why would I want to do that to her? And she's not that mean Docras! She's just…she's just a little cranky sometimes."
"If you say so Lily."
Lily Evans was the perfect girl in many people's eyes, she was smart always making outstandings and being praised by teachers, she had a great group of friends who were always laughing and having a good time, she was pretty with her silky dark red hair that sat on her shoulders and her almond shaped bright green eyes that always sparkled and 5'7 with her slender but curvy body, her kindness that really came from her heart and was even given to the people who shouldn't deserve and now her new position of head girl only added to her perfect image.
"The Train will arrive at Hogwarts in approximately twenty minutes please gather your belongings and be prepared to exit." Echoed a bodiless voice throughout the train.
"Can you believe that, that's the last we'll hear that voice tell us that?" frowned Marlene
"Let's not think about that, let's think about how great this year is going to be! I mean come on were going to be seventh years! And with Lily as Head Girl"
But Docras never finished because Lily interrupted her "Docras, were not going to abuse my position!"
"Loosen up Lils all I'm saying is you have your own common room, dorm and bathroom"
"That I have to share with Potter!"
"And think about all the stuff we can do now! Sleepovers without having Abigal, Tiffany and Susanna bugging us and PARTIES!... and quiet study time we can't get in Gryffindor common room!"
"I agree with the sleepovers and study time but the parties no that's the kind of thing Potter would do"
Just then the compartment door opened revealing The Marauders "Evans, talking about how much you love me, again?"
"You wish Potter, now get OUT!"
James shook his head "Evans, Evans, Evans, it that anyway to treat your future boyfriend, by the way will you go out with me?"
"NO! For the millionth time, JUST LEAVE!"
"Evans you shouldn't raise you voice it isn't very Head Girl like."
"I wouldn't have to raise my voice if you just left me alone!"
"Well if you just went out with me… "
"So my favorite girls, how's it going?" smiled Sirius as he squeezed in between Marlene and Alice leaving Remus and Peter in the doorway and ignoring Lily and James.
"Well it would be great but with those two…I guess it just ruins the atmosphere!" smiled Marlene
"Here I fix it, SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!" screamed Docras
Both Lily and James stopped and turned to look at Docras "Don't give me those looks you two are acting like first years! Now shut up James sit over there and don't talk to Lily" pointing to the seat across from her "and Lily ignore him, Remus, sit there" patting the spot in between Lily and her "and Peter sit there, and don't forget to shut the door too." pointing to the spot next to Alice and the window.
"Yes, Master Docras is there anything else we can do for you?"
"Potter, I told you to shut up!"
"Gosh, Docras lighten up I was only joking!"
"Yeah well you and Lily's auguring is getting a little old."
"I know that's why I been trying to get her to go out with me."
"Potter, we wouldn't have to argue if" started Lily
"Why do sea gulls fly over the sea?" asked Sirius causing everyone to look at him "…because if they flew a over bays they would be bagels!"
"That was a good one!" laughed Alice along with Peter, Marlene and Docras.
"I know, I thought of it all by myself."
"No you didn't you! I told it to you last year before we left for summer." Said Remus
"I meant I thought of saying it all by myself now!"
"Sirius you are such a lair!"
"I'm not a lair, if anything I'm very serious!"
"Padfoot you can't use that again you've already use it about a million times already" explained James.
"But it is a good one James." Marlene said while giggling.
"Not when you've heard it as many times as us!" explained Remus. "But we must get going, come on guys we need to get gather our things before we get to Hogsmeade."
"Such the party pooper Remus, Bye girls, Bye Lily!" said James with a smile and wave.
"Bye Ladies!" said Sirius as he followed Remus and James; Peter following Sirius leaving without saying a word.
"It must really stink to be a first year this year I really feel sorry for them having to cross the lake in this weather" said Lily while drying off her robes with a wave of her wand, then turning to her friends to do the same.
"Now not only are they going to be scared but there'll be cold too!" frowned Alice.
"It won't kill them!" said Docras
"Sometimes I wonder if you have a heart." Grinned Marlene as they found seats, and sat down.
"Ladies! You left us! It really hurt me, and I thought you loved me!" cried Sirius as he grabbed his heart and sat next to the girls.
"Nope! Didn't you know Peter is the love of my life!" exclaimed Docras scooting over to be closer to Peter causing him to blush. "Besides you and James have enough love from your fan clubs!"
"But I need you Docras!" joked Sirius "without you I'll simply die of a broken heart!"
"Then I guess I should've broken it long ago!"
"Ouch, that one hurt! Whatca got to say to that Padfoot?" laughed James along with everyone else.
Just then the Great Hall's doors opened and about fifty soaking wet eleven year olds came in trembling from both the cold and fear.
"Can you believe that was our last welcome back feast!" cried Marlene
"No it seems like just yesterday we were firsties!" said Docras
"I don't know about you guys but I can't wait to get to my new dorm!" Said a excited Lily "I really gonna miss you guys though! Do you want to come see with me?"
"I'm gonna pass Lils, I'm about to past out. I promise I'll come and see tomorrow, alright?" said Marlene
"I agree with Marlene, but I'll promise I come see you Tomorrow too!" smiled Alice
"Same here." Finished Docras
"Alright" frowned Lily
"We mean it Lily, you might not be able to get us to leave when we do come and see you, so enjoy while you can!" laughed Docras putting a smile back on Lily's face.
"Well see you guys in the Morning then!
Then with a chorus of goodbyes Lily proceeded to the head dorms. They were on the Seventh floor facing the lakes concealed by a picture of a golden sphinx.
"Password?" she purred
"Euphoria"
"Correct, and Congratulations." She grinned and opened up to reveal a beautiful spacious room.
It had a large lavishly decorated fire place on one side with two couches and four armchairs in front of it made of a rich, dark wood that made it look very elegant and comfortable. On the other side of the room were French doors the opened to a balcony looking out to the lake and on each side of the French doors were two beautiful desks with the same wood as the couches and armchairs. Not far from the desks were two doors each had a plaque one said Head Boy and the other Head Girl. Walking into her room her mouth dropped, it was gorgeous she had a huge king size bed, a dresser, nightstand, full length mirror, and closet all to herself, and another huge window looking out to the lake. Her bathroom was just as lavish she found a walk in shower with fogged glass for the doors, a vanity table, toilet, and a large sink. Still amazed at her new dorm she walked back into her common room to find James coming out of his new room.
"Do you like it?"
"It's amazing!"
"I know, no wonder why you always wanted to become Head Girl!"
"No, Potter that's not the reason why I've always wanted to become Head Girl!"
"Sorry, Sorry I didn't mean to insult you!" Holding up his hands.
Feeling a little embarrassed she turned and walked back to her room "Good night Potter"
"Good Night, sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite!" said James in a sing song voice causing Lily to smirk, being going into her room.
