Introduction and character profiles:
This is a Marauder fic set in a modern day Hogwarts. Imagine that Lily and James' era was thirty odd years later than it was. Other than the date, and some more modern clothing/inventions/sayings etc. it's exactly the same as it was. Now that I have thoroughly confused you, here's the summary:
Summary: the story starts in their sixth year. Peter Pettigrew doesn't exist; instead Lily Evans is the fourth Marauder. She and James have been inseparable best friends since they were born; they lived next door to each other for 11 years until, when they were both about to start Hogwarts, James' parents inherited a mansion in Norfolk, leaving Lily alone in London. They missed each other furiously, having never been apart for more than a week in their lives, until they started Hogwarts and formed the Marauders with Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. Sirius hates his family with a passion, and in their fourth year he moved in with the Potters after a blazing row, and he never looked back. Remus is a werewolf. His friends worked it out within a year and despite him expecting them to hate him they did the opposite, becoming illegal Animagi to help him through his transformations. Lily is a large, reddish brown wolf, nicknamed Ulf; James a stag, nicknamed Prongs and Sirius a huge black dog called Padfoot. Lily spends nearly every holiday at James' mansion with the rest of the Marauders, apart from the Easter holidays which she either spends at Hogwarts or with her family. During these holidays James visits nearly every day, and Sirius and Remus nearly as often. Lily and James spend all their time together and have the most amazing friendship; practically lost without each other. However James likes Lily as more than just a friend, but he won't say anything out of fear of ruining their friendship. Lily starts to like James halfway through their sixth year, but doesn't believe James' feelings towards her are sincere, and likewise refuses to risk their friendship.
Lily also has two close female friends, although neither are as close as the Marauders. Mattie Wilmot and Maya Baines are also friends with the Marauders, not close friends but still friends.
This story documents their sixth and seventh years, including Voldemort, Death Eaters and fun :-) enjoy...
