Prologue
Lily Evans sat on the train quietly, watching James and Sirius walk by. Her heart gave a small jump.
"Hey Evans." James said with a grin.
"Hey Potter." She replied.
"How was your summer?" He asked.
"Not too awful… though my awful sister got married." She rolled her large emerald eyes. "What about yours?"
"Mine was good. Sirius, Peter, and Remus spent the majority of it at my house. We played Quidditch and did pranks and the usual. Ya know, Marauder stuff." James answered with a slight smile.
"That's cool."
"I owled you a few times. You never wrote back." James sighed.
"I'm so sorry… I don't know what happened. I wrote you replies and sent them but each time my owl came back with them. I have them, if you still want to read them." Lily smiled.
James felt like the sun had started shining. His whole world lit up. "I'd love them." He said.
"Great… I'll give them to you later." Lily looked down.
James followed her gaze and noticed the Head Girl Badge pinned to her robe.
"Congrats on making Head Girl, Sunshine." He said with a smile.
"Thanks... you too!"
"Thanks, Sunshine."
"Why did you call me Sunshine?"
"Because that's what you remind me of."
"Oh… thanks." Lily blushed.
"Well…"
"Uh… I have to go find Gabriella, Leila, Sam, and Blair."
"Yeah… see you."
"You can count on it." Lily smiled flirtatiously.
