Hello my lovelies! So...I kept getting nasty comments about my other works being illegal so I have just decided to take them down.

I know I know...it stinks. I mean what Multi-millionaire author is going to look on a random site dedicated to fanfiction to see if some random nobody is coping their work word for word. It doesn't matter.

Now onto this story. So we've all seen the pictures "girls don't want roses on Valentine's Day...they want a seven book series about the Marauders' time at Hogwarts" or some along those lines. Well here it is. Your (hopefully) seven book series about the Marauders' time at Hogwarts but just as the HP series is based on Harry this series will be based on Lily. I hope it meets your standards about hat you were looking for in a story like this :) Now we all know that each year of Harry's time at school something exciting happened (sorcerer's stone, chamber of secrets, etc.) and I am open (and Looking) for suggestions as to what exciting things can happen for our marauders. Major stuff won't happen until 5th, 6th and 7th years but I need stuff for years 1-4...stuff that can happen to Lily. It all can't be deatheaters because I read a timeline and Voldemort started recruiting in the 1970's and Lily and James didn't start school until 1971 (giving voldemort only one year to gain enough followers and begin to induce fear into the wizarding world which is highly unlikely to happen in a year.) so Deatheaters cant happen until roughly 1975. Thank you to those who will help me with this! I love you all so much!

Now to get on with the story...Chapter 1...

"The Letter"

"Lily darling!" Rose Evans called from the kitchen window into the field where her two daughters were playing "there's someone here to see you!"

"Coming Mum!" Lily Evans called back to her mother and looked at the boy she had just met not but ten minutes ago.

"You should go" Severus said "see who it is."

"Will you be back?" Lily asked.

"Not tonight" he shook his head "but even if we don't talk anymore this summer we'll see each other at school and on the train."

"Okay!" Lily smiled "it was nice to meet you Severus."

"It was nice to meet you too Lily" he shook her hand, with a small smile, and left through a part of the fence that was older than the rest.

"But the boy was SO strange mum!" Lily came into the house to hear her sister, Petunia, talking about Severus to her mother.

"Lily!" their mother smiled "Petunia said you met someone?"

"Oh yes mum!" Lily said excitedly "hes very nice. His name is Severus!"

"What an odd name" her mother commented "well you have a visitor."

"Who is it?" Lily asked and came into the living room.

A stern looking woman, dressed in a strange green cloak, was peering over her spectacles as she spoke to Lily's father.

"Ah there she is!" Mark Evans stood rather quickly "this is our daughter Lily."

"Miss Evans" she said and held her hand out to shake Lily's hand "it's a pleasure to be the one to talk to you."

"Do you need us here?" Rose asked and gestured to her husband.

"Yes" the woman said "it would be easier for me to explain it to all of you at once."

"Very well" she said and the three Evans sat down on the couch across from the woman.

"First allow me to introduce myself" the woman said "I am Minerva McGonagall. And now onto Lily. Your daughter is special."

"Special how?" Rose asked.

"Do not take this the wrong way but you're daughter is a witch" McGonagall said.

"A witch?" Mark asked "those don't exist."

"I assure you Mr. Evans, they do" McGonagall said "would you like proof?"

"If you don't mind" he said and nodded.

McGonagall took out her wand and gave it a wave.

The already tidy room became perfect. The pictures on the walls and mantle straightened perfectly, the windows were sparkling like new, the furniture was free of cat hair and the blankets have never been more perfectly folded.

"Oh it's lovely!" Rose exclaimed "thank you very much!"

"My pleasure" McGonagall smiled "now will that suffice Mr. Evans?"

"Yes" he nodded "is that all you've come to tell us then?"

"Well no" McGonagall said "I have something for Miss Evans."

"For me?" Lily asked and McGonagall pulled an official looking envelope out of her cloak and handed it to the eleven-year-old girl.

Lily broke the wax seal on the back and opened the envelope before she pulled out the letter.

"Dear Miss Evans, We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on 1 September we await your owl no later than 31 July. Yours sincerely, Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress."

"What is a Hogwarts?" Lily asked.

"It is a wonderful school where you will learn to use your magical abilities and grow as a witch so that you may go on to do great things!" McGonagall said.

"How much would this cost?" Mark said.

"Her tuition is already paid for and her books will not be a lot" McGonagall said.

"How long would she be gone?" Rose asked.

"The length of her normal school year" McGonagall said.

"And she would live there?" Rose asked.

"Yes, surrounded by children who are just like her" McGonagall smiled fondly "Mr and Mrs Evans I assure you that this is the best place for a young witch or wizard to start their training. No place in the world is safer than Hogwarts. She will be perfectly safe."

"Well Lily?" Rose asked "would you like to go?"

"Other children who can do magic just like me?" she asked McGonagall.

"Yes" McGonagall smiled at the little girl fondly.

"Can I?" Lily asked her parents.

Hesitantly they nodded their heads.

"We want the best for our little girl and if this is the best thing for her than we would love for her to go" Rose said.

"Oh thank you Mum!" Lily said and smiled.

McGonagall smiled as well.

"I will send an owl to Professor Dumbledore that you have accepted your spot at our school" she said and took out a piece of parchment and quill. She quickly wrote the note and went to the window where an owl flew down "Professor Dumbledore." She handed the letter to the owl who gently took it in it's beak and flew away.

"Professor?" Lily asked as she looked at the second piece of paper "where am I to get these supplies?"

"I will be happy to accompany you and your family to Diagon Alley" McGonagall smiled faintly "if you so wish."

"Where is Diagon Alley?" Lily asked.

"Only magical folk know where it's at" McGonagall said.

"How will we get there?" Lily asked.

"By train of course" McGonagall said.

Well I hope you all liked it! I worked pretty hard on it and I know it's short. The next chapter will be longer and will include a few new characters that we love 3
