A/N: First, I would like to thank everyone that reviewed my last story. Thank-you sooo much. I love you all!!!  This is an L/J fic. I know I said that all my stories were probably going to be R/H and H/G, but I had to write a story for my English class and I though that this made a real good L/J fic. I hope you like. I don't like Peter, so I cut him out. Hehe This is just the first chapter to just show how close of friends they are and stuff. Well onto the story.

Disclaimer: I own nada, zilch, nothing.

All This for a Prank

            It was a bright sunny morning and the birds were chirping in the trees and the whistle of the Hogwarts Express was signaling that the train would be leaving in 5 minutes. James, who was tall and muscular with black untidy hair and dark brown eyes with round glasses was standing next to his two best friends Remus and Sirius on Platform 9 ¾ saying good bye to their mothers and wondering when Lily and Arabella were coming. Sirius had the same built as James, but he was a little shorter with light brown eyes. His hair was also black, but neater than James'. Remus had light brown hair. He was tall and sort of muscular, but he looked a little sick. He had blue eyes.

"Mom…I could get on the train myself. I am 17 you know." Sirius was getting frustrated with his mother. Every year she pestered him about the same things.

"I know you could do it by yourself sweetie, but this is my last year to see my baby off and then he'll be going out into the world all by himself and…and…" Sirius mom couldn't continue. She started to bawl right in the middle of Platform 9 ¾. James' mom came running to soothe her.

"There, there Maggie, Sirius will be alright, he'll be with my baby and Remus and they'll work together and live all by themselves with no one to take care of them and…and…" Now James' mother started to bawl.

"You guys, I think we should get out of here before we start to get cried –" James didn't get to finish his sentence because his mother had just grabbed him around the neck and was hugging him so hard he couldn't breathe.

"Mum!! Mum you're choking me!! Guys help me!!" James gasped. Sirius and Remus were doubled over laughing. Remus was leaning on Sirius with tears of laughter rolling down his face. Sirius was laughing so hard that he had to hold his stomach because it hurt him so much.

            James was rescued by Lily, who chose the perfect time to show up, James' face was starting to turn purple from the pressure of his mother's grip.

"Oh Mrs. Potter come here," Lily said soothingly. Mrs. Potter rapped her arms around Lily's small frame and started to cry all over again. Lily kept stroking Mrs. Potters' hair and whispering comforting words to her. She looked up at James and saw him staring at her. She smiled and went back to caring for his mom.

            James just kept staring at Lily. She was so beautiful he thought. She had long, thick, read hair. Big, sparkling, light green eyes. She had a small frame because she was short, but she had all the right curves. There was no other word for her…she was beautiful.

            Remus and Sirius were both watching James stare at Lily. They looked at each other with identical evil grins. This year was going to be a good one. Lily's friend Arabella saw these looks directed at James and new instantly what they were up too. Do you really think she was going to stand there and watch Remus and Sirius do something to one of her best friends? Of course not! She was going to get in on it. She walked up to Sirius and Remus.

"So what are you guys planning on doing to him, now that you found out his secret about liking Lily?" asked Arabella. "Do you really think I'm going to let you go and do something that has to do with James and Lily and not let me in on it?" Arabella gave them both a mischievous grin and Sirius and Remus returned the grin with their own.

            The whistle blew and the Hogwarts Express was leaving. They all ran onto the train while waving and blowing kisses at their mothers through the window. They went all around the train looking for an empty compartment. They finally found one that would fit all five of them at the back of the train. When they all got settled and taking care of, James turned to Lily.

"Thanks Lils. I thought mum was going to choke me to death right there and then." To his surprise Lily busted out laughing, her eyes dancing with laughter.

"Ah James, you should have seen your face," she said through gales of laughter. "It was all purple. I was just going to leave you there, but you looked so helpless, that I just couldn't torture you any more." At her words their whole compartment started laughing.

"So you guys, how was your summer? Arabella and I had a great time. We went on vacation together to Italy. It was so much fun," Lily said when the laughter had died down. Although, she was still smiling from the early laughter.

            James wasn't listening to a word anyone was saying. He was still staring at Lily as though she was the most precious thing in the world. He was surprised to see Lily staring right back at him and it took him a second to comprehend that she was talking to him.

"Hello James. You there?" Lily was waving her hand frantically in James' face. He blinked a couple times and turned red.

"Huh? Oh sorry, what did you, Lily?" James said. Lily looked a little confused by his response. She also didn't see the evil grins her other friends had.

"I asked you how your summer was." Lily replied.

"Oh it was great!! Me, Remus, and Sirius went camping!! It was so much fun!" James said with a happy smile. Remus and Sirius both nodded in agreement.

"I wonder when the lady with the foods gonna get here," asked Remus. Arabella laughed.

"Is that all you have on your mind Remus? Food?" she was still laughing when the lady with the trolley came by. Remus stuck is tongue out at Arabella before getting up to get his snacks.

"Lils do you want anything?" asked James.

"Yeah, could you get me anything with chocolate in it, please?"

            Arabella leaned over and talked to Lily they were having a real good discussion about he guys in Italy and how nice the country was.

"Oh and remember that guy, Lily? What was his name again? Oh yeah! Nunzio!!" Arabella said through gales of laughter. "He was hitting on Lily so bad!! We were at this store and he gave her almost everything she wanted for free." Arabella started laughing so hard at this that she had to conjure a tissue out of thin air to wipe off her tears. James went stark white at this comment. He didn't want anyone hitting on Lily.

"Well Arabella, shall we tell them about, what was his name? Oh yeah… Lorenzo," Lily was bright red from the early teasing when she said this, but she started to give her trade-mark Lily smirk when Arabella started to turn red. Everyone new Lily's trademark smirk. When she made that smirk it meant she was up to something. "Well, Arabella, should we tell them about how he stocked you and followed you all the way to our house?"

            Arabella wasn't ugly. She was actually very pretty. She had long, brown thick hair that fell down her back. She had light brown eyes and always had a huge smile on her face. That's why it wasn't hard to believe that she was stocked in Italy. She was one of the nicest girls at school. She always tried to be compassionate and understanding. Lily was always understanding and compassionate as well, but she had the bad, quick temper that all red heads come with.

"He stalked you!!" Sirius was beyond mad. His eyes were bulging. You could tell he always had a thing for Arabella, but nobody ever said anything to not embarrass him. Lily, James, Remus and Arabella started to laugh at Sirius' expression. This only made him madder. Remus, sensing danger, quickly changed the subject.

"So how long do you guys think we have left to get to Hogwarts? I'm starving." As if by magic, which it probably was, the train stopped and the 5 friends got off the train laughing together.

A/N: I tried to do a cliffhanger, but I couldn't so I just left it here. I hope you guys like it. If you guys want the next chapter tell me in your review. In the next chapter Lucious Malfoy pays them a little visit along with Severus Snape and we might see more L/J. Well that's all I'm going to say. Please Review.
