A/N: Hey everyone! I know…it's been about a year….maybe more…I just stopped liking to write fanfics for a while…and then when we moved I was so busy with a bunch of stuff I forgot about my stories. I haven't written a new chapter yet, but I'm revising the current chapters. There'll probably be some major changes, so you might want to re-read everything. Again, I'm soooo sorry! I hope you all like the new and revised version better! Don't forget to review! I wanna know what you all think!

Chapter 1
"Lily, wait up!" a short girl with long black hair and blue eyes cried. I turned around and hugged the girl tightly, who happens to be one of my best friends. We made our way to the Hogwarts Express and started to look for an empty compartment.
"Hullo, Nona how was your vacation?" I asked.
"Great! We actually went to Greece, it was bloody amazing!"
"Ooh, did you find any interesting Greek boy?"
"Yeah, but it didn't work out very well. The boy only spoke Greek; I couldn't even ask his name. It was pathetic, really. So how was your break?"
"It definitely wasn't my best. Petunia is going to get married next summer, and she forced the whole family to meet the Dursleys, it was awful. Robby and I did get to subtly make fun of them, though. Marjorie, Vernon's sister, actually nodded when we called her stupid."
"Subtly, of course," Nona said sarcastically. I smiled slightly, and said:
"Well, of course it was subtly. She didn't know the meaning of stupid. The next day, though, Petunia was oddly mad at us. She was particularly mad at Robby, saying that since he's older than me he should set an example. Actually, I think she only shouted at Robby because she doesn't talk to me anymore."
"Who doesn't?" asked a voice behind us. We turned around and found a brunette with curly hair and green eyes towering over us.
"Hi there, Josie," I said.
"Hey. Oh, quick, an empty compartment," Nona said and slid into a compartment just as a group of second-years was going to sit there.
"Look, I have to get going to the prefect's compartment. Did I tell you I'm Head Girl?" I said.
"About a hundred times," Josie muttered.
"What was that?" I asked, grinning.
"Nothing."
I hurried to the compartment and apologized to the prefects.
"Why, this is something I thought I'd never see. Perfect Miss Evans late for a prefects meeting," a voice drawled from behind me. I turned around to see who had said that. I was surprised to find none other than James Potter wearing the Head Boy badge. I narrowed my eyes at him and said:
"Ah, Mr. Potter don't be like that. After all, you wearing the Head Boy badge wasn't something people exactly expected."
"Ouch," another voice said from a corner. Once more I turned and found Remus Lupin looking at me. I glared at him and sat down. Even if he was the least annoying Marauder, he could still be very annoying.
I began explaining to the prefects their duties, with Potter helping me out every now and then. Finally it was time to start patrolling and Will and I left first. Will has been my friend since we were six, when he moved to the house next to mine. He's a Ravenclaw, though.
"When is Petunia getting married again?" Will asked me. He was quite handsome actually, with his bright blue eyes and brown hair. He was also an excellent Beater.
"December. Don't remind me of it, it's going to be absolute torture."
"Probably. I feel bad for you although I am quite happy I'm not going. After all, the chances of her inviting me are zero."
"Don't worry, Willie, I'll find a way for you to go." I grinned at him and from the corner of my eye I saw Potter and Lupin following us. Honestly, what's the point of four people patrolling the same corridor?
"You don't have to, Lilykins. I don't mind at all."
"I insist."
"Don't."
"Willie, you're not who I thought you were! In my times of trouble you should be helping me!"
"Get Nona and Josie to help you. I've had to stand Petunia since I was six."
"I've had to stand her since forever."
"Let's change the subject. Do you want to go with me this winter to the local teams Quidditch Championship?"
"Sure. The girls are all going too."
"I figured."
"Yeah, Josie would never allow us not to go to a Quidditch game," I said. Josie was a Chaser and therefore obsessed with Quidditch.
We continued patrolling and soon it was time to go back to our compartment and I left Will with his friends. When I reached my compartment, I found Nona wolfing down sweets and Josie reading Witch Weekly.
"Hey everybody. Oy, Nona, leave some Pumpkin Pastries for me," I said. I sat down next to Nona and grabbed a Chocolate Frog. I started to eat it just as fast as Nona was eating and Josie sighed.
"Honestly, you girls. Not even the Marauders eat so fast," Josie said. She comes from a very traditional pureblood family, the Hoppus' (A/N: Quick disclaimer: I don't own Mark Hoppus, although I wish I did, he's so hot!), so she has these little politeness issues.
"Yeah, but we're hungry, Josie," Nona said with her mouth full of food. Josie shook her head and went back to reading.
"Ah, Josie, Will invited me to go to the Quidditch Cup thingy, so you don't have to get a ticket
for me, 'kay?"
"Uh-huh."
"Hmm, Lily and Will sitting on a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G," Nona sang.
"Nona, we've been friends since we were six!"
"So? You're going on a date with him," Josie said. Why are all of my friends against me all of a sudden?
"Ooh, big date, going to a Quidditch game." My two ex-best friends just grinned at me.
"Did I tell you who the Head Boy is?" I said, changing the subject. Their smiles became even wider. I didn't know a smile could get so wide, surely it's physically impossible.
"No, who is it?" Josie said.
"James Potter, the prat."
"Funny that Aunt Helen didn't tell me. She's so proud of her Jamesie boy. Not to mention that she and Mum are pretty close. Oh, I almost forgot. Mum is mad at me for not being Head Girl," Josie said. I glanced at her, thinking I would see anger or something, but she was smiling at me. Anyway, she and James are distant cousins, since they're both purebloods. At that precise moment the compartment door opened and four boys entered the compartment. They were the school's infamous miscreants and pranksters, the Marauders. James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. I, as unlucky as always, was forced to sit between Sirius Black and James Potter. Sirius put his hand on my thigh, and I'm quite sure it wasn't accidental.
"Sirius Black, remove that hand from my thigh this instant!" I said. James sniggered and I glared at him.
"Ah, Lils, I don't think I can."
"Oh really? And why is that?"
"James put some glue in my hand earlier." I paled; did this mean that I would have to walk around with Sirius's hand glued to my thigh? I tried to lift his hand but he was saying the truth, his hand was glued.
"James Potter, you are so dead!" I shouted at him.
"Evans, I'm sure you're loving it," James said, smiling at me. ARG! What a prat.
"No, I am not. I, unlike your slutty girlfriends, do not like to walk around with Sirius's hand glued to my thigh."
"Well, Evans, in case you have forgotten, Nona here has already been my girlfriend," James said. Nona blushed furiously, which is very unlike her.
"And I still think that you doped her."
"If there's one thing I can guarantee you, Evan, it's she wasn't doped. Not even close." Nona became even redder, and Sirius chuckled.
"As for you Sirius, if you knew your hand had glue, why did you put it on my thigh?"
"Ah, let's just say that I forgot, eh?" I slapped him and the boys laughed.
"What did you do that for, Evans!" Sirius shouted. Honestly, can he get any thicker?
"I did it because you're acting like an arse!"
"I'm not acting like an arse," Sirius mumbled.
"You're right; you're not acting like one. You are one!" I whipped my wand out and muttered an incantation. Sirius's hand was now stuck to James's. None of them had noticed yet, which proves that Sirius and James are both idiots. Sirius's arm is going across me and there's no way a normal, intelligent person wouldn't have noticed that.
"Uh, was there anything you guys wanted to say?" Nona said.
"Yeah, Evans, do you know where Will Adams is?" Remus asked.
"Why?" I narrowed my eyes suspiciously.
"James wanted to know if he's the new captain."
"He's three compartments ahead of us. I do hope you're just going there for Quidditch talk. My wand tends to perform hexes when I'm mad." The boys gulped and stood up. Sirius and James however, finally noticed their situation. They glared at me and continued walking with their heads high. The girls and I snickered.
We arrived at Hogwarts shortly after. Actually it wasn't so shortly after. Must've been more than two hours. Anyway, we arrived at Hogwarts and proceeded to the Great Hall. Apparently, Sirius and James managed to unglue themselves, since they were now stuck to two slutty girls. I'm quite sure they weren't stuck by accident, though. So, the Sorting began, and it was really weird since we (we as in Josie, Nona, and I) kept crying. For a good reason though, it would be the last Sorting to which we would be gracing our presence (A/N: is the English right?). The Marauders kept shooting weird glances at us. Why am I even talking about them?
After the Feast we went to our dorms and spent basically the whole night talking, until we decided it was a little too late. Although I did point out that one a.m. is actually early, which caused Josie to throw a pillow at me. This caused me to keep her pillow, which caused a pillow fight. Which caused a lot of fun. Which led us to sleep.
