Prologue
"It snowed last night," she thought to herself, "but there's no snow day." She sighed. It was the only thing she hated about being at a boarding school. She loved living with her friends, the big meals served in the Great Hall, and sneaking out of the Ravenclaw Common Room at midnight.
"But no snow days," she sighed again, "Of course," she thought, "with the school being just one building, a snow day would be a little illogical. It would be nice though," and with that thought she went to gather her books for class.
Classes that day got absolutely no where. Everyone was too excited about the snow. Finally the Headmaster let them have the last two classes off.
"Not a snow day," she thought, "but close." Earlier that day she had tried to explain to her friends what snow days were, but, as they'd all grown up without them, it had been impossible.
"Lily," they asked her, "Why would you get a day off just because it snowed?" Lily sighed now just thinking about it.
"They sound just like my parents," she thought. Her parents, regular old veterans of the time before there were school buses, always rambled on about having to walk to school in three feet of snow, both ways.
"At least I don't have to listen to them," she said aloud to no one in particular and opened her book. Books were becoming her constant companions. One went with her to every class and stayed with her in the library in case she finished her homework early. Her friends laughed at her but that only made her sink deeper into the adventurous world of her books. Although she lived in a world that had magic, dragons, and even trolls, there didn't seem to be any adventure in it. Worse, Lily's friends didn't seem to mind leading a boring, non-adventurous type of life.
"Even sneaking out at night has gotten boring," she thought. They went only as far as the next hallway, not even whispering for fear they'd get caught. Then they went back to their common room and congratulated each other with silent grins. After these congratulations they all hurried up to their dormitories for fear they'd get caught out of bed. Although she had brought the idea of pulling a prank, her friends had looked at her like she was crazy.
"Lily," they told her, "only students in fifth year and up pull pranks. We're only third years." Once when she had brought it up they had burst out laughing and left her feeling rather embarrased, as everyone in the common room stared at her. Since then she'd never brought it up again and pointedly avoided telling them that four Gryffindors, namely James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew, were in their third year and still pulled pranks. Lily was beginning to think that they actually liked getting detentions. With this thought she turned to look at the four friends. They were all sitting around a table and were hunched over what seemed to be a book. They were whispering excitedly and Peter was looking around nervously. So, naturally, Lily assumed they were planning a prank. She mad a split second decision, got up, and walked over to them.
A/N: What happens when Lily meets the four friends? Will she join the pranks or only get laughed at? The next part will be up shortly. I hope. I really hope. Please r/r.
