Author's Note: Okay, this takes place when Lily and the Marauders were in school (5th year), and if you ask me, I think it's kewl. First part is really Lily and James, second is to Sirius and someone (I'm not telling who) and the third is to Remus and someone else! Hmm…no, I didn't write a fourth part for the Worm (P.P) because I think he's an insufferable idiotic bastard and a dumb-ass git. Hopefully one day he will die a very painful death and rot in hell eternally. (He did put my Sirius in Azkaban, that bitch!) So…read on, enjoy, yada yada yada.
Disclaimer: Okay, as for the legal jargon. All characters do not belong to me (although I wish they did), but they belong to J.K. But the plot, Sunny Savage, Eve Wilson, and anyone else not in those wonderful books are mine, so ha ha, I did create something!!!
So without further ado, I present to you:
Back when…
Chapter 1. Night at the Three Broomsticks
Like so many other weekends, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew burst into the Three Broomsticks during yet another visit to Hogsmeade. And like usual, the four Marauders were looking at every female in the place.
Rosmerta, young and fresh out of Hogwarts, was working as a waitress at the Three Broomsticks. "Hi boys," she said brightly. "What can I get you?"
Sirius put an arm around her. "I dunno, baby, whatever you wanna get me," he said jokingly.
"What's wrong? Talking to me now? Running out of other girls to talk to?" She asked innocently.
James eyed Sirius in a mock-anger sort of way. "We were just talking to some locals, until Sirius had to be a jerk!"
"What?" Sirius said, playing along, "You think I don' t know how to treat a lady with respect?"
Remus snorted, though he was grinning, "Well, I dunno, Sirius, I mean if you don't work a bit on your approach, you might just get slapped in the face."
"Slapped in the face!" Sirius said in fake awe, his mouth hanging open. "I have never been slapped --"
"What about Julie?" Peter asked, a bit timidly.
"And Roxeann," James reminded.
"Oh, and that hot little number, what was her name?" Remus asked, "Oh yeah, Lolita. Boy she really flipped on you."
"And the moral of this story, Rosmerta, (pay attention now, Padfoot), is to come up with better pick up lines, at least for the sake of your friends," James said, finishing the impromptu act they had thought up, which was amazingly true and based on fact.
Rosmerta was laughing so hard from their performance, she had tears in her eyes. "You guys --" she said, in between laughs, "Are a barrel -- of laughs! Now, shall I make it seven butterbeers?"
"Seven?" Peter asked, confused, "Rosmerta, there's four of us."
Rosmerta nodded towards the door where three extremely pretty girls entered.
"No, best make it four, Rosmerta," Remus said, after studying the girls and then his friends faces.
"Oh…why? They're pretty, and I'm sure you'll have a lot in common," Rosmerta prodded.
"Those girls -- let me just say we don't talk to them." James said shortly.
A frown appeared on Rosmerta's face, and she made them promise to tell her about it when she returned with their butterbeers.
She took a seat in between Remus and James and passed them their drinks. "So what's wrong with them?" She asked, looking intently at James, who looked as if he were about to speak. His eyes searched the tables until he saw the three girls sitting down with many other girls chattering loudly to them, and quite a few guys drooling as well.
"Okay, see that one, with the red hair? That girl in the middle?" James started. He secretly thought she looked like a goddess, but knew better than to ever talk to her.
Rosmerta nodded, listening to James say, "Well, that's Lily Andrews. A Slytherin, so that pretty much explains why we don't talk to her. She's really pretty, but I hear she's really mean, and maybe even evil, we think."
"Now," Remus said, looking at a lovely girl on Lily's right with silvery-blonde hair and icy blue eyes. "That there is Eve Wilson, a Ravenclaw. She's really snobby and thinks she's better than everyone else. She's beautiful, but too proud to talk to anyone she thinks of as below herself."
Rosmerta looked at Sirius, hoping he would fill her in on the third girl. Indeed, he did. "And that," Sirius began, staring intently on the girl with the golden hair and shocking violet eyes. "That one is Sunny Savage. Real doll, but she's a Slytherin too, and we distinctly believe she's out of her mind. Crazy, you know? Look now, she's lighting up a cigarette and playing card with those fellas. Besides, Snape likes her."
"They're the most popular girls in the school, and into, we think, dark magic," Peter said, wanting to get a word in. "They're different."
Rosmerta stood up and sighed. "Oh, you should talk to them, after all, you are the most popular guys in school," she said matter-of-factly.
"Prongs, Padfoot and Moony are," Peter grumbled, unhappily. "I'm not, I'm just blundering and dundering."
A look of sympathy crossed Rosmerta's face. "You're not blundering or dundering, Peter." She turned abruptly to Remus, Sirius and James. "I think you should go talk to them and stop regarding those foolish rumors. After all, they're probably not true, and you guys have never singled anyone out like this before… unless that person gave you reason to," said Rosmerta, thinking about Severus Snape, which loathed the Marauders, and in return, they hated him back.
Rosmerta got up and went to take the girls' orders, with a wink to the Marauder's table. "So, what'll it be?" Rosmerta asked the crowd around Lily, Eve and Sunny.
"Make it a round of butterbeers, if you don't mind!" Sunny said, suddenly pounding her fist on the table. "Damnit, Dan!" she shouted at one guy, after he had put his cards down on the table, obviously winning. "You freaking cheat!"
Lily burst out laughing. "Sunny, just because you lose, doesn't mean anyone else is cheating!"
Sunny scowled and looked to Eve for support. "C'mon Evie, my favorite cousin, you have to back me up, you saw Dan just cheat, didn't you?"
Eve looked at Sunny with a bit of annoyance. "No, Sunny dear, and I am your only cousin, of course I'm your favorite."
Lily caught a glimpse of Sunny's grumpy face as she was forced to pay up to Dan. "Uhh…" she whispered to Rosmerta. "Best make it a round of butterbeers and a cinnamon rum. I have to deal with her when we get back, because she's in my dorm, and whiskey is the ticket to calm her down."
Rosmerta smiled as she looked at Lily, who was trying to reason with her, Eve, looking very bored indeed, with three guys fighting to get her attention, and Sunny, attempting to put her cigarette out on Dan's hand. "She of age?" Rosmerta asked.
"Um…well, no, but I heard you gave them some whiskey before, or something. Him and his friends," Lily said, pointing at Peter alone at the table. Remus, Sirius and James were at different ends of the pub, trying to sweet-talk every girl there, it seemed.
"Alright," Rosmerta finally agreed, remembering the time the boys had come on Peter's 16 birthday, not even a month ago, and she had served them whatever they wanted.
Eve leaned over to whisper in Lily's ear. "How long d'you think it'll be before those three come and talk to us?" Eve had a humongous grin on her face as she pointed out Sirius, James and Remus.
"Oh, why would they want to? They're the most popular, gorgeous boys in school, and we're -- and we're," Lily stammered.
"We're decent, Lily," Eve said, helpfully. "I'm not trying to sound conceited or anything, but I think we might have a chance with them. At least I hope."
Lily nodded, "Oh, me too! That James, oh, he's divine!" She felt a twinge of envy as a brunette girl she didn't know smiled as he talked to her, but felt ecstatic as he walked away, muttering words that looked a lot like 'bimbo' and 'air-head,' but she couldn't tell.
"I'm more for Remus. I like that mysterious, intellectual thing he has going, besides, he's divine too," Eve admitted, casting a glance at Remus, looking glumly at Peter and sitting down beside him, followed by a muttering James, and Sirius, who looked like he's just been slapped.
"You idiot!" Sunny suddenly shouted, interrupting Lily and Eve's conversation. "You stupid prick! You marked the cards, didn't you, homeboy? Well, either you give me back my money, or I'll put you under the nastiest hex I know!" Many people were gawking as she stood up and walked over to Dan and began to throw punches at him.
Rosmerta returned to their table quick, shoving the rum at Lily. "Sunny!" Lily said, soothingly, "Lookit what Rosmerta brought for you. Now, sit down, Sunny, sit down! Get your hands away from his throat and sit down!"
Sunny let go of Dan's throat (he was beginning to turn a shade of blue), and he took a long, deep breath. She smiled up at Rosmerta. "Well, thanks! Just what I need."
Rosmerta smiled back and left the table to take the orders of people who had just walked into the Three Broomsticks.
Sunny drank from the glass, steadily becoming louder and rowdier, but not as violent, to Lily and Eve's relief.
"That Sirius Black," Sunny said loudly, so even Sirius himself could hear her, "That Sirius, ahh! He is suuuuuch a babe. Did you know, Danny," she said, turning to face Dan, "that Sirius Black is a Beater on the Quiffindor Gridditch team?"
"Looks like you've got a fan," James muttered to Sirius, while watching Lily giggle and talk to the people around her.
"Why do we not talk to them again?" Sirius asked, in a daze, listening to Sunny's every word about him.
"Because two of them are nasty evil Slytherins and the other is a smart-ass snob," Remus said, although he looked as if he could kiss Eve, the 'smart-ass snob' that very minute.
"Why don't you go talk to them?" Peter suggested.
"Yeah," James said, standing up, his eyes not leaving Lily's smiling face for a second. "She's a goddess."
"Mine's a veela," Remus said, getting up as well.
"No, Moony, mine's a veela." Sirius said.
"Look," said Peter quietly. "Neither of them are veela, but you'd better go talk now, because we haven't got much time until the train picks us up," he advised them.
The three of them walked eagerly up to Lily, Eve and Sunny. James saw, that Lily's deep, mesmerizing emerald eyes met up with him, and almost beckoned him closer. She offered him a tiny smile, and pink patches formed over her face. He smiled back, walking closer, closer, until he was standing beside where she was sitting.
"I couldn't help noticing," Remus said to Eve, "That you look very nice, and I think it's about time we were properly introduced."
Eve twitched a smile and extended a hand to Remus. "You can call me Evie. I already know you, Remus. It's good to finally talk to you."
"Oh! Sirius! Wow, it's really you!" Sunny swooned, obviously very drunk.
"Hey Baby," Sirius said, in his I'm-all-that voice. "Ever done it doggie style before?"
"No…but," Sunny giggled and whispered the rest to Sirius, who was looking very happy with himself, indeed.
Finally, James found his courage. He had never ever been like this before, at a loss of words, with any girl.
"Hi," James said.
Lily's smile widened. "Hi," she replied back.
Rosmerta, sitting down and chatting with Peter, winked at the other Marauders, who nodded graciously to her.
"Thank you," James mouthed to Rosmerta, as they were leaving for the train, with Lily standing close to him.
"For what?" she mouthed back, although she knew very well what he was thanking her for.
"For her."
James looked down onto Lily's face, and saw that he had found an angel. On the train, he looked over to see Remus deep in conversation with Evie, both with stars in their eyes. He saw Sirius holding Sunny close, and the whole ride back to Hogwarts they whispered back and forth. Peter was looking bored and perhaps a bit jealous. Then James looked at Lily again, who was smiling up at him, her emerald eyes twinkling. Somehow he knew this girl was different; somehow he knew this girl was special.
Author's Note: So…what do you think? Do you like it? Do you hate it? Should I write more? Or…not? I hope so! Actually, I think I will, possibly tomorrow, okay? *starts singing* Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow…
Suddenly, me, Ron's Mistress makes a grand entrance
Ron's Mistress: Hey you guys, how did you like the story?
Lily: Ah, put a sock in it kid, ya bug me! There was no _action_ between James and I.
RM: Not yet, but you just wait! Oh, don't look at me like that, I'm just a psychotic skitzophrenic!
Evie: So…? If you were a wise psychotic skitzo, you would get the hell out of here, because someone's coming…TO KILL YOU! laughs evilly
RM: Who? I gotta go!
Sunny: Too late, kiddo laughs wickedly I am your worst nightmare! Sirius was right, I am evil!
Lily: We all are.
Evie: Gee, I wondeer who Ron is? If you're his mistress, I mean. Oh well, say buh~bye, RM!
RM: screams as Lily, Evie and Sunny point wands at her
* * * *
Just then, the WORM appears and ruins everything.
Peter: Hey, guys! I wanna be evil too! Can I? Can I, please?
Sunny: You stupid, you dumb…
Evie: I can't believe it! We were gonna kill RM!
Sunny: You idiotic, you ignorant…
Lily: Guess we'll just have to KILL THE SPARE!
Sunny: You smelly, you ugly fool! LET'S KILL HIM!
RM: Wait! I wanna help!
Evie tosses RM a spare wand
Ron's Mistress, Sunny, Lily and Evie: AVADA KEDAVRA!
