A/N: Hey there! This is my first fanfic but I promise it'll be good. The first chapter is not going to be that great but I promise the rest of it will. In a way this story's just kind of a way to express my imagination to let out all those bottle thoughts I've had for stories all these years. Its also sort-of based on me and my friends in a way too, it's kind of hard to explain but it is. The story title is totally based on real life, because it's full of complications .

Complications
Chapter 1

Lily Evans woke up a beautiful summer morning. It was August 31st to be exact, one more day until she would be returning to her beloved school, Hogwarts as none other than the head girl herself. Now, Hogwarts was no ordinary school, it was a magical school of witchcraft and wizardry.

The peaceful harmony of this day was abruptly disturbed by Lily's older sister Petunia shrieking "Lily you freak, get down here. There's some monster with wings down here with some kind of letter for you!" Lily sighed, "It's called an owl Petunia, an owl!" said Lily "and I'll be right down." She called.

Lily sighed; she and her sister were so different, in so many ways. Lily had beautiful auburn hair that cascaded down to mid waist. Petunia had blond hair that was cut into a bob.

Lily had creamy, smooth china doll skin that was slightly tanned and always blemish free. Petunia had badly tanned skin; she had tried to tan herself but then discovered that she was sensitive to the sun so she got sunburns all over. The result: badly tanned skin.

Lily had beautiful emerald green eyes that always had some kind of spark that light them up. Petunia had brown eyes, which were brown eyes, dull and unexciting.

Lily was petite, not short though, and was curved in all the right places, and was "5, 8". This made her one of the most desirable girls to date. Petunia was not fat she was just very tall and lanky, as you might call it.

Lily was the brightest witch in her year, and well you could say Petunia scraped by. Oh, boy was she and her sister different.

She sighed again, got out of bed, and went downstairs into the kitchen where her mother, father, and sister were eating breakfast. She looked around until she spotted an owl, and there it was on the kitchen windowsill waiting for her.

It was her friendLyra Rhinestone's owl. "Hmm…."thought Lily, "I wonder why she sent me an owl when I'd be seeing her tomorrow. She walked towards the owl untied a letter from its leg, but the owl stayed there. "Probably waiting for a response letter." She thought.

When she opened the letter she realized that it was not only from Lyra, but from her friend Alexandra Cox also, it said:

Dear Lils,
Alex and I are spending the night at the
Leaky Cauldron and we're wondering if you could
possibly meet us there. Owl back if you can stay!
-Lyra & Alex

Oh did Lily wish she could go. Let's just say that Lily's parents were very protective of her and would never let her do anything like stay a night at a pub. Her sister grabbed the letter and read it. She sneered "Mom and Dad will never let you go."

"Let Lily go where?" said their father who was now very interested. He grabbed the letter from Petunia and read it out loud. "Well Lily dear, I don't see why we couldn't let you go." said her dad. "We don't?" said Lily's mother.

"Sarah dear, after all she's seventeen." Lily didn't need any second bidding. "Thank you! Thank you!" said Lily. She stuck out her tongue at Petunia and wrote a reply note to Lyra stating that she could come. She then went to her room to pack her trunk. After she was done, she grabbed her trunk and her snowy owl Lady and set them downstairs.

She ran back up the stairs, brushed her teeth, and then took a shower.

She dressed in a pair of light denim caprice, an emerald tank top, and pulled her hair into a high ponytail. She then proceeded to the kitchen once again and had a quick breakfast. "Awww…, my little baby's all grown up." Cooed her mother. (A/N: don't you hate it when people do that?)"Sure, sure, mom." She said.

Lily finished her breakfast and got up and ready to apparate. "Wait Lily, dear, remember to send us an owl when you get to Hogwarts." said her mother. "Try not to concentrate on your studies so much this year and try to have fun." said Lily's father. "But not too much fun." He added quickly.

"Ok, good-bye, love you." Said Lily as she grabbed her stuff and apparated in the Leaky Cauldron. She then picked up her trunk and went up to the front desk and asked for a room.

"Are you Ms. Lillian Evans?" asked the person at the desk. "Yes, I am." said Lily. "Well your friends asked me to tell you that you would be sharing a room with them." He said. "Oh, okay. Can you tell me the room number?" she asked politely. "Room 13." "Thank you." said Lily.

She picked up her luggage and transfigured it into the size of a credit card and stuffed it in her pocket, all but her owl that is.

Owl cage in one hand, she started to climb the steps that led to the rooms. All of a sudden and out of nowhere popped out a certain someone and said "BOO!" Her owl cage was caught by and was now in the hands of another certain person.

"Guys!" said Lily.

"Lils" they cried.

It was Lily's good friends Alex and Lyra. The person who had jumped out at Lily wasLyra and the person who had caught Lady was Alex.

Lyra was one of Lily's best friends from Hogwarts. She had long black hair that cut off about a foot from the waist. Her eyes were pools of deep clear ocean water. She was wearing a pair of dark jeans and a deep blue tee. She was about "5,8" She was the most out going of the group, but she also new when to shut up and get to work. She was a pureblood to the bone.

And then there was Alex who was also a friend from Hogwarts. Alex had perfectly straight mahogany hair that went about 8 inches past her shoulders. Her eyes were an unusual shade of purple. She was wearing a pair of ripped shorts and a light purple ¾ shirt and was about "5, 7" She was the quieter one of the group but not by much. She also came from a pureblood family.

Together, Lily, Lyra, and Alex were the most popular girls at Hogwarts. All of them were drop dead gorgeous and were also very smart, the top witches in their year. They were frequently asked out by guys, and girls wanted to be them BUT they obviously couldn't.

"Hey guys!" said Lily again. "Uh, Lily? We already got past that part already." said Alex smiling. "Ya, well, whatever." said Lily. And they all laughed.

"Well are you people going to show me our room, or am I going to have to wait in the hallway all day?" said Lily. "Of course this way Miss." said Lyra.Lyra and Alex slowly led Lily towards the room; it took so long because Alex and Kay insisted that they act like spies, running from corner to behind a plant and so on.

"You guys realize that's rather pointless, right?" said Lily.

"Is not!" they cried.

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Is not!

"Ok whatever it isn't." said Lily giving up on the conversation. After five minutes of snooping around, they finally got to room 13. Alex grabbed the door handle and flew it open.

"Wowza." said Lily almost speechlessly. "This room is huge." and indeed it was. Against one wall, evenly spaced out, were three canopy beds. There were also three desks and a large comfy couch. The room was painted a yellow that seemed to brighten up the place. "So, which bed's mine?" said Lily. "The one in the middle." said Alex.

They all walked in and Lyra shut the door. Alex gave Lily her owl Lady back and she let her out where she perched next to Lyra's owl Lune. Lily walked over to the middle bed and pulled out her credit card like trunk and enlarged it. She then put it; well more like stuffed it under her bed. "I can't believe that your parents actually let you come!" saidLyra happily. "I know." said Lily.

"Yup they sure are protective of little Miss Perfe-"Alex didn't get to finish her sentence because she was silenced by a pillow hitting her directly in the face.

"Little Ms. Priss, this means…..WAR!" said Alex. Pillows were fling everywhere and the girls were having a great time shrieking and laughing until a knock came on the door. "Coming!" said Lyra. She opened the door to find none other than the Marauders. She screamed and shut the door on them and locked the door. "Everyone hide it's the Marauders!" she said quietly.

They all ran to duck under their beds. In a second the Marauders had broken into the room and were searching for them.

The Marauders were a group of popular, good-looking, rich, athletic, pretty smart guys in their year and their house, Gryffindor. But they had some serious problems. They were always pranking people and bullying others just for plain enjoyment. The Marauders consisted of 4 boys.

Their sort of ring leader of the gang was James Potter. He was striking handsome and was the second best looking guy at Hogwarts. He had deep hazel eyes and jet-black hair that stuck up in the back. He was constantly ruffling it to make it look like he just got off a broomstick. He was a chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team and also the captain. His muscles clearly showed it. He had been asking out Lily for years but he always got the same answer, no! But he never gave up on her.

Lily hated him because he was an arrogant prick, showoff, self-absorbed jerk. It simply explained reasoning of why she hated him to her. But Lily's friends thought she should give him a chance. "As if!" Was all Lily would say.

The second member of the group was Sirius Black. He to was striking handsome but was the best looking guy at Hogwarts. He was a big player he had a different girl on his arm every week. He had long hair for a guy that cut off a little before his shoulders and his eyes were a steel gray. He too was part of the Quidditch team, but he was a beater. He also was very muscular.

Remus Lupin was the third member of the little team. He was the only one who was socially accepted by the girls as their friend. He had light brown hair and light blue eyes. He wasn't the most handsome guy ever, but he still had girls chasing after him too. He wasn't on the Quidditch team, but he still was pretty muscular, but he almost always had a worn out look to him, as though he didn't get enough sleep every day. He was also a prefect.

The final member of the group was Peter Pettigrew. He wasn't really handsome at all. He had sandy blond hair and watery brown eyes. He was also pretty plump like a plumb. Nobody thought that he really fitted in with the Marauders, and that they just felt sorry for him and that why he was allowed to hang with them. But he didn't seem present today.

"Aww!" said Sirius "Did we miss the party girls? We know you're in here." "Hmm…., I wonderful where they could be." said James. "Lily, my love come out, come out where ever you are."

"I am not YOUR LOVE!" shouted Lily from her hiding spot.Lyra and Alex giggled. Suddenly the beds hiding each of them were levitated into the air exposing them. "AHHHHHHH!" they shrieked. "Lookey at what we have here." Said Sirius "Grab them" he growled.

But the girls all were thinking the same thing they apparated just before they were caught. The appeared at Florence's Ice Cream Parlor. "Seesh almost had us there." said Lyra. "Let's have some ice cream suggested Alex. "Here, here." said Lily. They all laughed and went to order some ice cream.

After about a half an hour the girls had finished their ice cream and were just walking around and browsing when they heard three all too familiar coughs.

They turned around, no one was there. Suddenly each girl was grabbed from the waist and a hand was put over their mouths. James got Lily, Sirius got Lyra, and Remus got Alex. They screamed and struggled but they could not loosen the guys' grips. Now, Lily got quite tired of this, she decided to bite James. "Ouch! Lily! Come back." he called after the running Lily. Alex andLyra did the same to Sirius and Remus and they were off again.

"Arrg! I'm getting quite tired of this! Can't we just hex them?" said a flustered Lily. "NO!" saidLyra and Alex at the same time. After about two hours of more browsing and watching out for the Marauders, they decided to head back to their room. It was already dark.

Lily was opened the door and they all plopped down on their beds. "Looks like we escaped the Marauders after all."

"Don't be so sure!" the Marauders said suddenly jumping out of the shadows. "How many times do we have to escape from you?" asked Lily in an almost bored voice. "Not many times more love." said James sitting down next to her.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me love?" Lily screamed. 'Well, once more my dear." said James. "I'm this close to slapping you, Potter." said Lily holding her index finger and her thumb about a micrometer apart.

James was about to reply with something cocky but a look from Remus told him to shut up. "Okay, ok, I'm sorry Lily." said James looking sincere for once.

"We were just going to ask you have dinner with us." said Remus. "We'll just go now." said Sirius. "OK, then." said Lily with a huff. "Lily, don't be rude, I suppose we could have dinner with you, but you have to promise that there will be no funny business going on." said Alex in a sensible tone. "Alexandra Cox! I can't believe you agreed!" said Lily.

"Come on, Lily, its only dinner, and besides I'm starving." said Lyra. "Fine!" said Lily. "But I'm not sitting next to Potter."

"Fine, fine." said Remus, "We just needed some company." "Ok, then, lets go!" saidLyra in a very excited tone. Lily raised an eyebrow at her but when she saw Lily she just shrugged it off.

Lily was surprised during the dinner that the boys were acting like such gentlemen. They brought up polite conversations like how was your summer and they and even paid for the meal even though the girls refused. After dinner they sat a little longer chatting when the topic of head girl and boy came up.

"Lily did you get head girl, I completely forgot to ask you, and you seemed to completely forgotten to tell me." Lyra.

"Oh, yeah, I did get head girl, mum and dad were so proud." said Lily happily. "Oh congrats!" said Alex and Lyra. "Remus," asked Lily. "did you get head boy, I just thought it might be you."

"Oh, umm, Lily, I did not perhaps you should ask Sirius who got head boy, for I don't know." said Remus. "Ok, Sirius, do you know who got head boy." said Lily trying as best as she could to be polite. "You betcha, Lils, why it's little Jamsie here. He's gone soft." said Sirius acting a mother and wiping away a fake tear.

"YOU GOT HEAD BOY!" shrieked Lily. "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" Then Lily started rambling and she ended up talking in French, which no one seemed to understand, but James (A/N: what a coincident.)

"Sorry for the disappointment Lily." James said in a clam soft way. "I'm going to be going to bed now." as he said his final words he got up and walked to his room the rest of the Marauders following.

"Come on Lily, we better get to bed. Don't want to miss the train tomorrow." said Alex calmly. They went up to the room changed into there pajamas and fell asleep, everyone except for Lily. "Hmm, Potter seems to be different today. He was acting like a prick in the beginning of the day but, now, I not so sure. Things will be normal in the morning, Potter will ask me out, I'll say no, and he'll feel rejected." thought Lily finally falling asleep.
