On a dark and rainy morning of September a teenage boy slept peacefully dreaming of a redheaded girl with a fiery personality. Unfortunately another young man was quietly creeping into his room with a wooden stick. The second boy pointed his wand at the sleeper and muttered an incantation which caused water to poor upon him.

"Padfoot!" James yelled with a growl. The boy immediately flew into the air upside down as if held with an invisible rope.

"Put me down you mangy dog" James screamed. He was half angry at the way he was awakened then the other anger was that the assault continued, but he was infuriated that he was woken as the beautiful redhead was about to kiss him.

Another boy ran into the room while muttering an incantation which caused James to drop immediately. As James Potter stood up he whipped off his wet clothing which revealed Quiddich toned muscles on a six foot 17 year old boy. His dark black hair fell into his face covering his deep hazel eyes that were already behind round glasses.

Sirius Black walked over to James offering a hand of which he did not take. Sirius gave his best friend a breathtaking grin revealing a smile that makes every woman melt. Sirius wore a tight white muggle athletic shirt which showed a toned and muscled body that was ever so slightly taller than James.

"Oh come on prongs you know it was all for fun. Oh its 10:30 by the way." Sirius said. James eyes widened as he took off with a yelp throwing random clothing on himself while also throwing every other clothes into a open trunk. He ran out of the room to the loo as Remus Lupin looked at Sirius with a smirk.

"You my friend are both cruel and evil. He can be such an idiot some times. If he would have looked at the clock he would of seen that its only five in the morning." Remus said with a laugh.

James then ran back into the room fully clothed heading to the bed and picking up the trunk.

"Come on you lazy gits what the hell are you doing just standing around we have fifteen minutes to get to the station."

Sirius smirked and replied innocently "But Prongs last time I checked we had six hours to get ready."

"what the. . . . Im gonna kill you!" James took off at the same time as Sirius while Remus headed to the bed. He sat down and thought some things just don't change. In a distance he could hear a dog barking and hooves pounding on the ground as he drifted back to sleep.

Once again Lily Evans awoke with a start after dreaming of a mystery man with dark hair and hazel eyes. She never saw his face or body just the soft messy hair and the dreamy hazel eyes. She never told her friends of her dreams because she knew their conclusion. They each believed lily deserved a boyfriend to pamper and respect her yet lily said she didn't need a man to be happy.

A slight pound against the door woke lily from her revelry causing her to pull the covers over her head to block the bright light that had turned on.

"Lily dear I want you to get up sweetheart. One last breakfast with your family. Come on now or I will get your father." Mrs. Evans turned to leave the room but then quickly turned back around at her 16 year old daughter and said "Vernon is here as well to say good-bye. Please be respectful."

As her mother left the room lily groaned which was drowned out by a clash of thunder.

After getting dressed lily walked down the staircase and into the kitchen where she sat next to a tall redheaded man reading a newspaper.

"Anything interesting, dad"

"No just more names that are going to be added to the obituary. The murders are growing more and more gruesome. Sweetheart are you sure you want to go back to that school. That man seems to be growing more and more powerful by the day."

"Dad why do you ask when you already know my answer" lily said with a whisper.

"I wouldn't be your father if I didn't try. Now brace yourself there will be a pig in here soon." Harold Evans broke the tension with a half joke. Lily smiled at her father radiating the love and respect she had for him. He understood her and would never force her to do anything she didn't want. He knew her more than anyone else in the world while her mother struggled to even understand her daughter.

Petunia and her fiancé Vernon walked into the kitchen with a look of determination. Petunia slightly nodded at her younger sister while giving her parents hugs. Lily sat silently as Vernon immediately dug into his food throwing scraps spare eggs and bacon out of his mouth.

Lily looked on disgusted yet keeping her mouth shut out of respect for her mother who always made remarks about her daughter leaving the family for school.

Finally after a several seconds Harold cleared his throat and said grace allowing his true family to eat. Lily silently made a vow to only date men who would respect her family and their traditions.

At ten minutes to eleven students began apparition and appearing at the steam filled train station. A red black and gold train sat on the tracks while children in black ropes and muggle clothing piled into its compartments.

The marauders met outside in the same place they had originally met years before. Each had their own story that came together forming a bond of friendship that was rare.

James kissed his mother good-bye and hugged his brother and sister each tightly. He then said good-bye to his future sister in law. He always felt saddened at leaving his family but now it was heart breaking. He had never been without his someone from his family and now he the youngest was the only one left at Hogwarts. He then turned and faced Sirius of whom he felt was the closest brother he could ever have as well as the best friend of whom was his confident. He no longer felt alone.

James turned around feeling piercing eyes upon him. He looked into the most beautiful green eyes of which he dreamed about every night.

Lily Evan saw James Potter from a distance and she looked into his eyes for the first time and gasped. James lifted a nervous hand into his hair and ruffled it as a small arrogant smirk grew upon his face.

Prongs was back and stronger than ever.

Lily's mind began to race thinking of all the possibilities of which she could only think of one plausible conclusion. James Potter the arrogant toe rag of which she's hated for 6 years was her mystery man. Her mind screamed no as her heart screamedfinally.

James began walking towards her ignoring the marauders remarks and protests. As he walked towards her Lily began to think for the slightest of a second that maybe this year she would say yes. Maybe she would givein to the 6 year battle between her and the head boy. They needed to work together this yaer and their constant bickering wouldn't help. Yes this was the year she would be happy.

"Hey there Evans, was wondering if you wanted to hang out tonight. I can kick the boy out and we can have a little action."

Lilys eyes widened in anger and the slight second was lost. James had yet to realize what he had suggested do to the fact his mind was thinking of the beginning of the year prank being payed be the two heads of the school.

"You fricken asshole" Lily yelled. James in surprise took a step back all plans temporarily leaving his mind. He thought back to his comment then groaned as he realized what he suggested.

"Lily wait. . ." James yelled in desperation as she slammed her elbow into his hard chest causing him to lean over in pain. Lily stomped over to a group of girls and entered the train with a huff.

Sirius walked over to his best friend followed by Remus and Peter Pettigrew.

"Well looks like things are back to normal!"
