Okay, so my eyesight is beginning to fail me and this is probably really overdone, but here's my take on it with some of my own characters. J

December 28th, 1976

"What the bloody hell is this?" Sirius Black asked, eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he eyed the small white vehicle.

"It's called a car, Black. It's a Muggle form of transportation." answered Lily Evans, exasperated. When her best friend had called and asked to hang out during the winter holidays, Lily hadn't expected her to bring three-fourths of the Marauders along with her.

Sirius mock-laughed.

"Very funny, Evans," he sneered. "I know what a car is. I meant, why are we all getting inside of it? With you?"

"Because it's below freezing and unless you want to walk all the way into town, I'd suggest you shut up and get in." Lily answered, a hand on her hip as she stared him down. The shaggy haired boy sighed, but got in nonetheless. The rest of the teenagers followed suit.

"Hey, what's that, Lily-kins?" asked James Potter as his head poked between the two front seats. His sister's gloved hand from the passenger's seat pushed his head back.

"It's called a radio, Potter." Lily answered, rolling her eyes at the Potter twins. She turned on the car and turned the radio's volume up as she backed out of the driveway, humming to Elton John's 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart.'

"That's so cool!" James exclaimed, popping his head back in and sporting one of the biggest grins that Lily probably had ever seen as his head bobbed with the music. Even Lily herself couldn't help but give a small smile at the boy's reaction.

"Yeah, I suppose so," she said to herself as she turned a corner.

"So where are we going, Lils?" asked the best friend, Selena Potter, who was at the moment messing with the visor in some sort of childlike wonder. It was quite amusing to see four teenage wizards act like toddlers.

"Well, actually, Sel, I thought it'd be fun to go to the movies," she admitted almost sheepishly.

"The movies?" Selena asked. "That's so cool! I've never actually seen a Muggle movie, much less go to an actual theater!" she said excitedly, giggling like a schoolgirl- something that Selena Potter did not do much of, Lily might add.

Then again, she never thought that Selena would burden her with the three boys who were currently in the backseat attempting to do some sort of dance.

Thud.

"Uh, Lily-flower? You wouldn't happen to have any ice up there, would you?"

"King Kong? What's that?" James asked, still rubbing the spot on his head where he'd hit it in the car.

"It's a movie, and a very popular one at that. Now sh." Lily answered, taking her seat next to the messy haired boy.

"Hey Evans, did you get any food?" Sirius called loudly from James's other side.

"Yes, I did. I got you a hot dog, I hope that's alright?"

Sirius snorted.

"Of course, babe," he said, waggling his eyebrows thus earning an elbow from James to the ribs and a snort from both Selena and Remus.

The lights in the theater dimmed.

"Now, shut up, the lot of you. I intend to enjoy my first Muggle movie," Remus whispered loudly with a mouth full of popcorn.

After the movie started, every so often, Lily would overhear her friend's comments about how this "elongated picture with sound" was made.

"They had to enchant the gorilla," Selena argued.

"Or given him a potion?" James offered.

"Maybe everything else is smaller?" Sirius suggested.

"Sh!" was Remus's response, bits of popcorn flew all over the four teenage wizards.

Lily Evans smiled, because even though Selena Potter was yet to hear an earful for inviting the three Marauders, maybe it wasn't so bad. Throughout their six years at Hogwarts, Lily didn't think she'd ever spent so much time with the three goofy boys who started a snowball fight amongst themselves outside of the theater. She ducked as Sirius Black threw a snowball right at her, with a friendly smirk on face. She laughed as her very own snowball hit James Potter, knocking his glasses right off his stunned face. She squealed as Remus Lupin's snowball hit her, and couldn't help but grin when he began to apologize profusely. She yelled at Selena Potter as she ran after the raven haired girl, who ended up slipping and creating a trainwreck of laughing teenage wizards.

This is definitely not my best work, but since I keep procrastinating on my series (which I have planned) I've decided to just post little drabbles of the characters in my series. Obviously J.K. Rowling owns what you recognize.
