Chapter 1: Back to School
Lily Evans awoke to a bright, sunny morning in her nice and cozy bed. It was September 1st. Today she would be going to King's Cross Station to her 7th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she was to be Head Girl. She got out of bed, went to take a quick shower, and got dressed. She chose a short sleeved green V-neck shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and white sneakers. Then she went to the mirror to brush her hair and applied a bit of clear lip gloss. Lily was a very pretty looking 17 year-old girl. With her auburn red hair that fell just below her shoulders, her astonishing almond shaped green eyes, her flawless, pimple-free skin, and her petite body that curved in all the right places, she could make any guy speechless.
'I can't wait to get back to school,' Lily thought excitedly as she made her way downstairs to the kitchen, while putting on a jean jacket. 'I really miss my friends.'
When she entered the kitchen, she found her mother cooking breakfast, her father reading the paper and drinking coffee, and her older sister Petunia humming cheerfully, while eating her cereal and waffles. (a/n: I love waffles!!!)
"It's about time you got up, freak," Petunia said coldly, yet calmly.
"Well good morning to you, too, my dear, yet demented, sister," said Lily sarcastically. 'The sooner I leave, the better,' Lily thought
"How many times do I have to tell you two to try to get along?" asked Mrs. Evans.
"I am trying, Mum, it's Petunia who's not and she's the one who always starts it," explained Lily.
"It's not my fault you're a little freak," said Petunia.
"I am not a freak! You're just jealous because I can do magic!"
"No, I think you're a freak because you're not normal like me!"
"Well I think you and normal are boring and stupid!"
"Girls! Honestly! Quiet down and eat your breakfast in peace!" exclaimed Mr. Evans, looking up from his paper.
"Yes, Dad," the two Evans sisters said, glaring daggers at each other.
"Now eat up so we can make it to the station in time for eleven o'clock. And Lily, we are very proud that you are Head Girl," said Mrs. Evans, putting two Belgian waffles on Lily's plate.
"Thanks, Mum," said Lily.
When they were all finished with their breakfast, Lily got her trunk and her owl and the Evans family got into their car and made their way to King's Cross Station.
James Potter and Sirius Black were at the kitchen table in the Potter Manor eating, or rather gobbling down, their breakfast of eggs, toast, sausages, and bacon. (a/n: I love bacon 2!!!)
James Potter was a tall, well-built boy of 17 and ringleader of the Marauders. He had very untidy black hair, which he always messed up even more, hazel eyes, very nice muscles (a/n: I couldnt resist!), and a height of 6 ft. He was hoping that this year he could finally hook up with the girl of his dreams since first year, Lily Evans. All summer he, with some, but not a lot of, help from Sirius, was thinking of ways to get her to see him than more than a, quote, 'arrogant, bullying toerag'. Sure, he could have any other girl he wanted who actually liked him, but his heart was set on Lily.
Sirius Black was a very good-looking and also well built boy of 17, and the second leader of the Marauders. His elegant dark hair that fell onto his dark eyes, his muscular body, and his height of 6'1 made all the girls, except maybe most of the Slytherins, swoon over him. He was temporarily living with the Potters since he couldn't take his muggle-hating, blood-loving, Voldemort-following family any longer.
"James, I am so proud that you made Head Boy," said Mrs. Potter, "Are you excited, boys?"
"Yup," answered Sirius through a mouthful of eggs.
"You bet, Mum," said James.
"And I bet your really excited to see Lily Evans eh, Prongs?"
"Shut up, Padfoot!"
"Oh! Lily Evans, eh?" asked Mrs. Potter, "Is she the reason you draw the letters L.E. in little snitches?"
"Mum! How did you find that out?" asked James blushing, while Sirius was snickering.
"I found them in your pants pocket while I was helping the house elves do laundry."
"So who is this Lily girl?" asked Mr. Potter who looked like the older version of James.
"Oh she's this pretty Muggleborn girl that is bound to be Head Girl this year," Sirius happily answered.
"And what does she look like?" asked Mrs. Potter, eager to know about the girl her son fancied.
"She has red hair and green eyes and she's about 5'8," answered Sirius.
"Ooh, you must show her to us when we get to the station!" said Mrs. Potter.
"Will do!" Sirius saluted, while James blushed even more.
And with that said, they all finished up their breakfast and headed to King's Cross Station.

Lily arrived in platform 9 3/4 after saying goodbye to her parents (Petunia stayed in the car), who went back through the portal and she went in search of her friends.
"Lily!" two people yelled her name.
"Emee! Amy!" Lily yelled back happily.
Two of her best friends, Emmeline Vance and Amelia Bones (a/n: I don't know if their older than Lily & James or not, but in this fic they're tha same age!), came over to her with their trolleys. Emmeline with her dark brown hair and hazel eyes and Amelia with her blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Hey, Lil," greeted Amelia.
"What's up?" Emmeline also greeted.
"Hey, you two," said Lily, "Where's Ally?"
"Right here," answered their fourth friend, Alice Penn (a/n: cough Neville's mom cough), coming up to them with her trolley. And they all joined in a group hug.
"So, where have you been, Ally?" Emmeline asked with a smirk, "Meeting up with Frank I suppose?"
"Maaaaybe," Alice answered slyly.
"So, Lily, we got your letters. Congratulations on making Head Girl," said Amelia.
"Thanks," said Lily
"I wonder who's Head Boy," said Alice.
"Well, anyways, guys, I'll see you later on the train," said Lily, "I have to meet with the prefects."
"See ya!" said the other three.
James and Sirius stepped onto platform 9 3/4 with Mr. and Mrs. Potter close behind. They then headed toward the train with their trolleys. They heard a loud 'Lily!' a few feet away. There they saw Lily Evans walking towards Emmeline Vance and Amelia Bones. James felt his heart flutter.
"That's Lily Evans, Mr. and Mrs. Potter," said Sirius nodding towards Lily.
"Oh! She is a gorgeous looking girl!" exclaimed Mrs. Evans.
"Nice choice, son," laughed Mr. Potter patting James on the back, while he turned red, "Well, we better get going."
"Goodbye, boys," said Mrs. Potter as she hugged them and she and Mr. Potter went through the portal.
"Thanks a lot, Padfoot," James said sarcastically, "Now my parents are going to start bugging me about Evans every chance they get."
"Just doing my job, mate," said Sirius grinning.
"Padfoot! Prongs!" came Remus Lupin followed by Peter Pettigrew (a/n: EVIL!!!).
"Hey Moony, Wormtail!" said James and Sirius.
Remus Lupin was the tallest of the Marauders reaching up to 6'2. He was known as the gentleman of the group and girls love him for his sweetness. Unlike Sirius, who named girls as flavors of the week, Remus was the one looking for a long term relationship.
Peter Pettigrew was a chubby and short boy. He was the least popular member of the Marauders. Enough said.
"So, Prongs, I heard you made Head Boy," Remus said, "I'm surprised."
"So am I," replied James, "I have no idea what Dumbledore was thinking."
"Yeah," Sirius agreed, "Making a Marauder who isn't Moony Head Boy?"
"I guess he has his reasons," squeaked Peter.
"I better get to the Heads' compartment," said James, "I have to meet up with the prefects and Head Girl."
"I'll bet you anything it's Evans who's Head Girl," said Sirius.
"I hope so," replied James, "I'll see you lot later." And with that he headed towards the Head compartment.
