Disclaimer: I own nothing except the plot and I doubt it is good enough that anyone would try to steal it anyway.
A/N: by the way, this wont seem to work at first with Petunia going to Hogwarts, but it all ties in, so don't worry, just read it and it will all come together by the time I finish it.

SISTERS
chapter one:
Lily and Petunia Evans held hands and ran through the barrier.
Two months earlier Lily had discovered that she was a witch, just like her big sister, who just happened to be her best friend. Petunia had been accepted at Hogwarts a year earlier. Lily could barely hold in her excitement, she felt like she could just burst at any moment. Petunia had spent countless nights with Lily when neither of the girls could sleep, just describing Hogwarts and the entire magical world to her. Lily was fascinated by anything and everything magical.
Petunia held Lily's hand protectively as they walked through the crowds of people on platform 9 3/4. Suddenly two rambunctious boys ran straight into Lily. One of them looked at the two girls and whistled as the other smiled appreciatively. Lily and Petunia actually looked a lot alike if you ignored the colors. They were both slender girls just beginning to get some curves. They both had clear complexions, round faces, beautiful large eyes, and long, straight hair. Petunia had tan skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes while Lily had porcelain skin, green eyes, and fiery red hair. Petunia snorted in disgust at the boys' undisguised stares. She then moved to help Lily up off the ground and helped her brush herself off. The boys, who were both second years like Petunia, seemed more than willing to help her brush off Lily's clothes, but backed away after a warning growl from Petunia. Finally, Petunia turned to them, anger apparent in her eyes. "Now, what the hell do you two think you are doing running over my little sister?" asked Petunia with a ferocity that Lily rarely saw and never had directed at her. "Not that I expect anything better from the James Potter and Sirius Black." she added this line as an afterthought with sarcasm dripping from her voice.
"Hey, hey, cool it 'tunia. It was just an accident, although I would rather refer to it as fate." Sirius said as he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at Lily.
"Sorry." James said simply and then muttered, "come on Sirius, lets go, now."
Petunia rolled her eyes and led her sister onto the train. Soon, Lily had been sorted into Gryffindor with her sister, Sirius, James, and their friends Remus, and Peter.

Lily looked across the table at her sister. They were seated in the Great Hall eating breakfast. Suddenly the doors burst open and in strutted the marauders. Lily rolled her eyes and coughed pointedly. Her sister looked up and copied the motion. Soon, all of the girls and guys in their group were looking up and glaring in the direction of the marauders. Lily couldn't help but think that she might like to get to know them despite all of the warnings from her sister. The first week that Lily had been at Hogwarts, Petunia had told her all about the marauders and what womanizers they are. Finding all evidence supporting what Petunia said, Lily decided that her sister was being truthful. Still... one had to admit that they were handsome. They were all tall and ruggedly built. James had dark hair that looked almost black, while Sirius's hair was black. James had blue eyes that seemed to have depth that went on forever. His hair was messy in a way that made you want to run your fingers through it. Sirius had dark laughing eyes that were a little unnerving at first because they could get so dark that they almost blended with his pupils. His hair was also messy, but not as messy as James's and it could be tamed. Remus had golden hair and ice blue eyes. His hair was slightly curly and he wore it so it looked tousled. His eyes seemed to see right through you and made a lot of people quite jumpy. Peter was also blonde, although his hair was more of a dirty blonde, his hair was always worn much like the others although slightly neater. He had blue-green eyes that were a beautiful mixture and reminded people of the sea. All of the boys were tall and muscular from quidditch, although Peter was slightly shorter and thinner than the others.
Sirius seemed to suddenly see Lily. His face broke into a wide grin as he sauntered over. "Hello there Tunia. Hey Lilz, I see you are looking hot today, as usual." Lily began to giggle but cut off quickly and turned it into a cough after a reprimanding look from her sister. Unfortunately this cough didn't get by Sirius who had been determined to date Lily since she had really blossomed in her third year. 'Maybe this year I'll get my chance' though Sirius as he gave Lily a wink and headed off towards his friends, away from a slightly blushing Lily and a distraught looking Petunia.
