Hai Guys, and welcome to my new fan fic, All is Never Lost!
This is my first Harry Potter fan fic, and i have always loved the idea of seeing James and Lily's romance flurish, and getting an insight at what the other Marauders were like! So, after reading tons of other people's fan fic's on James and Lily, (my two favouite's being 'All's fair in love and war' by Cheynee, and 'Boy meets Girl, Girl hates Boy' by LilyxJames4ever) I just hope that mine lives up to some of the amazing fan fic's already out there!
So, enough with the monologue :), thanks for reading, i hope you enjoy it, and please review, they brighten up my day :)
Disclamier: No, i don't own Harry Potter or any of it's wonderful characters and ideas. I only own the plot, and the Character, Gina, Yazzii and Sam, but even then, seeing as they are my BFF's, i don't own them either. Teehee :p 3
All is Never Lost
Chapter 1 – We meet again
"7th year, here I come!" shouted Sirius, as he sat down by the window in their carriage of the Hogwarts Express.
James and Lily chuckled and sat down opposite Sirius, James fighting the urge to droop his arm over Lily's shoulder.
"Yeah Yeah, and luuucky me! I get to spend it with the world's biggest tosser" said Yazzii, curling her long legs underneath her, and got out a muggle magazine.
"Awww come on now sweet cheeks, that's no way to talk about Remus" replied Sirius as Remus and Gina walked in.
"Not quite sure she was talking about me Padfoot" Remus smirked, sitting down and pulling Gina onto his lap. Sirius huffed and started messing around with his broom. Yazzii looked up from her magazine and smirked.
"Yazzii, Sirius, can you guys not go 2 minutes without arguing?" said Sam with a desperate tone added to her voice as she and Peter walked in.
"Nope" they both replied in unison "hey" they both said at the same time again "stop that!" in time again.
"Well that just proves it then doesn't it" James said "you to are a match made in hell"
"I resent that!" cried Sirius "I and Locmelis have it going on" said Sirius, ducking from the bottle of water that Yazzii threw at him.
"The day that we 'have it on' Black, will be the day that I sign into a nunnery with Evans here"
"Hey!" replied Lily, looking up from her book "why drag me into it Yaz?"
"'cause you clearly have it going on to" chuckled James, and suddenly fell silent from the death stare he received from Lily.
They were an odd bunch of friends really. James, Sirius, Remus and Peter were known as 'The Marauders', always pulling pranks around Hogwarts. James Potter was madly in love with Lily Evans, and unbeknown to him, Lily was in love with him to, but was too scared of getting her heart broken to admit it. Lily was average height, 5 foot 5, with blindingly bright red hair, that fell in waves down her back. James, on the other hand, was a lanky height of 6 foot, with jet black hair that stuck up on end, even after hours of trying to tame it.
One of Lily's best friends, Infact her longest best friend Yazzii Locmelis, had grown up with her on the same street in Kent, London. They were both Muggle-born, so they were both subject the endless taunting by the Syltherins. But, Yazzii had her very own personnel knight in shining armour, Sirius Black. Sirius was smitten with Yazzii, but Yaz could not stand him. Ever since that time in second year when he accidentally spilt chocolate sauce down her new robes, she hated him. But, even she couldn't ignore that fire that lit up inside her every time she was around him. Yazzii Locmelis was skinny and tall, around 5 foot 8 to be exact. She had stunning brown hair that fell just past her shoulders, framing her model like face perfectly. Sirius Black was just less than 6 foot tall, with shaggy black hair that was roughly cut to just underneath his chin.
Another of Lily's best friends was Georgina Jefimik, or as she liked to be called, Gina. She had unfortunately earned the name G-balls, after an incident in quidditch practise. Gina was the Griffindor Keeper, and once had 3 quaffle's thrown at her, and she managed to catch them all, to Siruis's delight. Also on the quidditch team was James, the captain and also a chaser, Sirius, one of the two beaters and Yazzii, the Seeker. Remus and Lily were the commentators of every game, after being elected by Professor McGonagall. Gina dated Remus Lupin, the third Marauder, with a terrible secret. When Remus was six, he was bitten by the werewolf Fenir Greyback, forever cursing him to become a werewolf every full moon. Once the gang found this out, instead of abandoning him, James, Sirius and Peter became illegal Animagi, James turning into a stag, Sirius into a dog, and Peter into a rat, so that they could keep him company as animals on that one long night every month. The girls, instead of also becoming animals, decided that they would wait outside the whomping willow the following morning of the full moon, with new clothes, food, water, a stretcher and medical aid for the boys when they came out. Hence earning them all nicknames; Remus was known as Moony, James and Prongs, Sirius as Padfoot, Peter as Wormtail, Lily as Bandage, Yazzii as Plaster and Gina as Cast. Gina was average size and very tall, just above 5 foot 9, and had mousy blonde hair that was seramically straight, falling down to her waist. People had often told her to cut it, but she would just scream, grab her hair and run away in the other direction. Remus was tall, the tallest of the group, hitting 6 foot 3. He had blonde hair, and a serious looking face, that would often be plastered with a smile whenever Gina was around.
Sam was best friends with Gina, Yazzii and Lily, but was the 'odd' of the group. She was a Ravenclaw, therefore wasn't involved in half of the funny memories from the common rooms and classes. It was also awkward in quidditch when Ravenclaw faced Griffindor, as Sam was the Ravenclaw seeker, therefore being Yazzii's main threat. But, against all odds, they were all still very close. She was short, only reaching 4 foot 11, but had a pixie like grace about her that every guy could see. She had dark brown hair that fell in ringlets down her back, framing the petite face.
Peter, the last Marauder, was unlike any of the others. He was short and plump, and was seen very often as a 'tag along' to the group.
"Oi! James, Lily! Wake up! The trains stopping!" Shouted Remus at James and Lily's sleeping figures. Lily awoke with a start to find her head resting against James's chest, her arms wrapped tightly around his torso. James woke with a snort, unwinding his arms from around Lily's figure with a smile on his face.
"Awww, look at the two love birds" Sirius said sarcastically.
"Shut it you" Yazzii said, beating Lily to it "just because you aren't getting any"
"Yeah well, we could both be if you would just admit you're undying love for me" Sirius retorted.
Yazzii snorted and reached up for her trunk. Lily sat up and put her hand out for James, offering to help him up. He took it with a smile.
"Now now Locky don't you want a strong man to lift down that trunk for you?" Sirius asked
"Yeah, when I see one" Yazzii stated, reaching up higher on her tip toes, finally reaching the handle.
"Well, I'm standing right here, in all my muscle and glory, just waiting for the – umph!" Sirius cried, as Yazzii swung her truck right between his legs.
"My crown jewels!" Sirius yelled, clutching his crotch as he fell to the floor.
"Not so manly now ay?" Yaz replied, laughing as she walked out of carriage door, with all the others following behind her, clutching their sides with laughter, leaving an almost crying Sirius behind in the Carriage.
