Chapter 1 Where It All Began

Izzie's POV

I ran through the barrier to get to the Hogwarts Express, eager to see my friends again. As soon as I got on the platform, I was mobbed.
"IZZIE! I missed you over the summer! You barely owled me! You promised!" Lily shouted at me but she was laughing at the same time. "I can't believe we're fourth years now!"

Lily is probably the brains and mother hen of the group. Me, her, Marlene and Laura are the Fab Four. We're the four girls who don't get asked out by anybody because they're scared we might turn them down but the Marauders think differently. We know they scare off any guy who might have a possible chance with us.
Lily is probably the prettiest but she thinks otherwise. She has long red hair that she has just got into the habit of keeping it down and really green eyes. I could see why James had fancied her since 2nd year.

"Hey Lils. I missed you too. Sorry I didn't owl. Me and the family had to go to Spain to see my step-monster's parents and I couldn't really take Piper with me," I explained to Lily. She just nodded her head. Lily and I are exactly the same. We're Muggleborns and proud of it.

"Let's get on the train and find Marls and Laura." Lily nudged me.
"Izzie... Izzie... Wake up what are you staring at?" She waved her hand in front of my face.
"Huh? What? Oh nothing... I'll tell you on the train," I said blushing. I was staring at the boys. They had definitely grown up over the summer. All of them were nearing 6ft tall except Peter. I couldn't believe that they were fourth years. I just stood there thinking before Lily hit me.

"Lils, what was that for?" I pouted at her.
"Get a move on Izzie. All the compartments will be gone," she replied with a glint in her eye. "We need one so you can tell me what you were staring at." Damn I thought she'd forgotten about that.

Lily's POV

I dragged Izzie on to the train, peering into all the compartments. As soon as I found an empty one, I dumped my stuff on the floor and turned to Izzie.
"Ok. Tell me who or what you were staring at please?" I said, grinning.
"Well... umm... you see..." Izzie stuttered. She obviously didn't want to tell me what had gotten her in such a tizzy.
"I'm waiting!" I whined, tapping my foot.

"Waiting for what my darling Lilyflower? For me to sweep you off your feet? Well you only had to ask." James Potter walked into the compartment, a smirk on his foul little face.

Izzie's POV

Oh no. This could be trouble. Big trouble. James just walked in and started proclaiming his love for Lily.
"POTTER! GET OUT NOW!" Lily shouted, going red in the face.
"But my love what about you? About us?" James said pouting. Me and the boys have told him several times that is not the way to get Lily's attention.
"There will NEVER be us Potter! Just leave before I make you!" Lily growled.

"Well Prongs my man, you had to pick the feisty one, didn't you? I'm more of a daring, cheeky stunning girl myself," Sirius said as he walked into the compartment. "Hey Izzie. Grown anymore midget?" he said smirking.
"Yes I have Black but at least I'm not as tall as a freaking troll. Oh and I don't look like one either!" I shot back grinning. James looked shocked and Lily just giggled.

"Take that back Semmé or I'll make you!" Sirius glared at me.
"Oh will you now Black? That sounds... fascinating." I glared back at him. He pulled out his wand but I pulled mine out faster.
"You hex me Black and I will not hesitate in doing you some serious damage!" I hissed and put my wand under his chin. Then he did something extremely unexpected. He swung me up over his shoulder

"BLACK! PUT ME DOWN NOW! I'M WEARING A SKIRT! I'M DEAD SERIOUS!" I shouted, pummeling my fists into his back.
"I don't think so. How about I feed you to those charming Slytherin relatives of mine?" He said to me sarcastically. I moved slightly and smacked the back of his head.

"Put me down Black or I swear to Merlin, I will hex you into the next century. Lily wouldn't mind helping me, would you Lils?" I said feeling slightly dizzy.
"It would be my pleasure Izzie." Lily started to walk towards Sirius menacingly.
"Padfoot put her down. We've known her long enough to know that she will hex you and hex you bad and so would Evans here," James said looking slightly irritated. "Let's go find Moony and Wormtail."

"Fine. You're just being the peacemaker to impress Red here," Sirius snorted and I burst out laughing. James had gone bright red like a tomato and rushed out of the compartment.
"Sirius, he's gonna kill you for that you know," I said still laughing.
"Yep. That's exactly why I said it," he said with a smirk. He stalked out the cabin grinning. So much drama and the train hadn't even left the station.
