This story begins the weekend before O.W.L.s in the Marauders' fifth year at Hogwarts. It features Lily Evans, the four Marauders, Lily's best friends Taylor Davis and Alice Fortescue, and Severus Snape. At first, nothing much happens between James Potter and Lily Evans, but as Lupin told Harry many years later, they started dating in their seventh year.

But don't worry, dear reader. I won't test your patience by dragging out year six. I'll just tell you the important parts. Besides, seventh year is when it gets really juicy, so stay tuned!

First, though, I'll give you a little introduction about the characters.

Lily Evans has a few very close friends. Taylor Davis, a beautiful girl who plays Seeker on the Gryffindor Quidditch team and is therefore very good friends with Sirius Black and James Potter; Remus Lupin, who is also unfortunately friends with Sirius Black and James Potter; Severus Snape, who no one really approves of; and Alice Fortescue, who has been dating Frank Longbottom since forever.

James Potter lives in a manor with his parents, David and Diane Potter. David Potter is an Auror, while Diane Potter works at the Wizengamot. He once had a younger sister named Sophie, but she died at a very young age when James was in his third year. No one knows this besides Sirius, Remus, and Peter.

Taylor Davis plays Seeker on the Gryffindor Quidditch team and aspires to become a professional Quidditch player after Hogwarts. She is the apple of every male Hogwarts students' eye, but she herself doesn't think twice about them as she is far too busy watching her diet to stay in shape for Quidditch. She's cool, is okay in academics, and is a very good friend to Lily and Alice.

Alice Fortescue is sweet and intelligent, and is often hidden in a broom closet with Frank Longbottom.

The rest of the characters are canon for the most part, so no need for introductions for them.

Enjoy and review! Thanks.
