Hi I hope you like my story! Please review! First chapter is a little short but, whatever!?
Chapter 1 -
Lilys POV
I stood on Platform 3/4, feeling every beat of my heart as loud as a drum, pounding away. I couldn't wait to start fourth year! I looked around at the crowd of people surging forward, into the train. My mom had left to drop Petunia, my personal number one enemy, to her new boarding school,which was apparently the "bestest" school in the world.
I remember four years ago, Petunia and I were playing on the swingset, as close as ever, when I heard my mom call me. She was at the door, waving a piece of paper that looked so insignificant, yet look where it got me. I rushed to my beaming mom, snatching the paper and reading aloud what it said.
" Dear Mr. And Mrs. Evans,
We are proud to inform you that your daughter, Lily Evans will be attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The new term starts on September 1st, you may find a book list enclosed in this envelope. Sincerely, Dumbledore."
I stared in disbelief at my mom, oblivious that behind me Petunia was scowling and muttering words like "freak" and "witch".
This morning I had tried to please her. She always says, "You have to look good to do good!", so I put on a short black skirt, showing off my pale legs, and a green sweater that matched my eyes, with black boots to match. I even did smoky eyeshadow and put on pink lipstick, my red hair curly and loose. But when I went downstairs, I was greeted with a, "Just plain weird!" Says the girl who wants to name her future son Dudley.
I decided to walk into the train, as the crowd had cleared up. I found the last compartment where Molly and I always sat. She was there now, her soft brown eyes twinkling, and her ginger hair messy as ever, with a huge smile.
"Hi Lily!" she exclaimed.
"Hi Mols!" I said, cheerfully.
I put my bags away, and I sat down, talking to Molly about our summers.
Then the door opened, and in came the Marauders, Peter, Remus, Sirius and (uch!) James, who, with his messy hair and piercing green eyes, annoyed me year after year with his crazy antics.
"Hello Evans, Molly," he said, a smirk on his face. I looked away and said, "Hi Remus!"
"Hi!" he answered back. I swear, he is the only decent Marauder!
"Oh Evans!" he said, clutching his chest. "Why must you ignore me? Why must you be so CRUEL!" and he fell on the seat, melodramatically sighing. All the marauders laughed. "C'mon guys!" yelled Potter and they all left, a big cluster of three boys. Wait- three? I hadn't realised that Remus was there, a folded slip of paper in his hand. "Here!" he said, and shoved it in my hand.
"Lily,
I have been waiting a while for this. So here I go! Will you go on a date with me? Send me an owl with a p on the slip of paper if yes. Let's just keep this quiet for a while; don't want the guys to know!
Remus"
I blushed.
James POV
I looked around at the rest of the marauders, satisfied. I have finally talked to Lily without the red in my cheeks or with my hand nervously running through my hair.
Remus ran in, his cheeks flushed and sandy hair tousled. "Guess what happened!"
Sirius laughed. "You pranked Snape so bad he went home? High five dude!" he yelled.
"No, I am going on a date with Lily!" he exclaimed.
My face went pale. What? This couldn't be happening. After all these years chasing boys away from Lily, I never thought I'd have to go to plan X. Should I? A full blown (but anonymous) prank war? Was I willing to do this all? For a girl?
"Are you okay Prongs?" Remus asked.
"Ya, I'm fine," I responded but was already planning.
