Chapter 1: The Train Ride

(James's POV)

"Oi Prongs!!"

I turned around and saw Sirius running at me with Remus and Peter walking quickly behind him.

"Hi Padfoot…er, why are you so hoppy today? Exactly how much sugar have you had this morning?"

"Hmmm…I had 2 boxes of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, 10 chocolate frogs, a couple of Fizzing Whizbees, 3 toffees, some chocolate chip cookies ----…"

"Padfoot, I thought that your family hardly fed you regular food, let alone give you sweets. Where did you get all of that food?" I asked.

"It's my fault," said Remus. "When he stayed at my house, I decided to give him a "care package". Ideally it was supposed to last until Christmas, but as you can tell it hasn't."

"Ooooh, ooooh! Lookie, Prongsie got the Head Boy badge!...wait, I thought Moony over here was a shoo-in!"

"Padfoot, you were with me when we got our letters. Don't you think you would have noticed if a Head Boy badge fell out of it? Congrats Prongs."

"Thanks. I wonder who the Head Girl is. I hope its Lily…"

Aaaah, Lily Evans. She was the love of my life. Well actually I've been asking her out every day since 4th year, but to no avail. This was my last year to get Lily back and I wasn't going to mess this up. Yes, get her back. You see back at the end of 3rd year we went out for about a week. Then some git pulled a prank on her; she thought that I pulled that prank. "Well I can understand why she might think that, after all I am a Marauder, but my pranks are aimed at those nasty Slytherins, especially Snivellus. I would never pull a prank on my lovely Lily.) Needless to say, Lily broke up with me and I've been trying to win her back ever since.

Sirius elbowed me in the ribs.

"What is it Padfo—uh hi Lily," I said straightening up.

Lily ignored me and said, " Hi Remus. Have you seen Charlotte? I can't see over Potter's big head."

"Sorry Lily I haven't."

Lily and Remus started to talk and then she stopped and stared at me with a mixture of horror, unbelief, and disgust all over her face. This couldn't be good.

"You're Head Boy? Oh god…"

"Don't worry Evans, we were surprised too," said Sirius smirking.

"Shut up Padfoot," I said. "Yeah, I'm Head Boy. Why do you ask Lily-flower?"

"This is why Potter!" and lily shoved something into my face. It was the Head Girl badge.

"Why Lily-flower, this is wonderful! Just think we get to spend hours together!"

Lily laughed sourly.

"Hmmph, Dumbledore must have been a bit tipsy when he picked you for Head Boy because no one in their right state of mind would pick you."

"That hurt Lily that went straight to my heart" I said clutching my heart. Sirius started to laugh, while Lily glared at me. Sirius and I call it the infamous Evans glare because she's seems to perfected her glare since 1st year. All of a sudden Lily's face lit up.

"I knew you couldn't resist me Lily-flower. See you're smiling," I said.

Lily started to scowl again.

"For your information Potter, I would never smile at you willingly. Secondly, I just spotted Elizabeth and she's headed this way.

Elizabeth strolled over with a smile on her face. She's Remus's girlfriend and one of Lily's best mates. It's quite funny actually. Remus has already gotten the girl of his dreams while Sirius and I have yet to win ours. Even Peter had a "girlfriend" named Serena (they aren't official yet.)

"Hi Lily! Hi Remus! Hi boys."

"Beth, let's go find a compartment and wait for Charlotte and Violet."

"What's the rush Emerie? We have like 10 minutes." I can never figure out what 'Emerie' stand for. In fact Lily, Charlotte, Elizabeth, and Violet all have these little nicknames. I asked Lily about them once and she told me to bugger off. Typical.

"No Girl Scout, now!" and Lily proceeded to drag Elizabeth onto the train.

"Speaking of, we should be getting a compartment ourselves otherwise all the good ones will be gone," said Remus.

"Awww…Moony you're a party pooper, but okay let's go," exclaimed Sirius and he started to hop to the train. Peter started to giggle and Remus and I looked gave each other a look. Then we chase Sirius to the compartment.

(Lily's POV)

I just couldn't believe it! That prat James Potter had become Head Boy! Impossible! At first I thought that it was some joke until Sirius and Remus assured me that it was most definitely true. Aaargh!

Elizabeth and I found a compartment and waited for Charlotte and Violet. Finally they showed up and just in time too because the train started lurch forward as they opened the door. Unfortunately right after them were those dratted Marauders.

"Hello ladies. May we sit with you guys?" asked Sirius.

"No you can't Black otherwise Lily here might combust if she had to sit next to Potter," said Charlotte half teasing me and half flirting with Sirius. Those two are always flirting with each other. Honestly, I don't get what they see in each other at all, but whatever. Violet doesn't know why they don't just go out because it's that obvious. They would match even more, though, if Sirius learned what a long term relationship was and Charlotte stopped wearing sports jerseys whenever she could.

"I'll take that as a yes then Charlie. C'mon men, let's move in!"

"Men? Ha!" I scoffed. "More like boys to me."

Sirius frowned.

"Hey! We aren't boys! We are manly men!"

"Hate to disappoint you, but the day the Marauders become manly men will be when Lily goes out with James or James stops asking Lily out, when you actually can hold onto a girlfriend for longer then 2 weeks, when Remus gets drunk, when Peter stops wetting his pants, when Charlotte willingly puts on a dress, when Elizabeth can get above an 'A' in any class, and when I fall in love with a Ravenclaw," said Violet.

"Vi, I'm warning you…"

"HEY! I resent that!"

"Actually my longest relationship has been 2 weeks, 1 day." "Close enough."

"I hate Firewhiskey!" "But you're a Marauder; you'll end up liking it someday."

"I've stopped, well you know." "Look down Peter." "Oh."

"Uh, why would I want to wear a dress? We're talking major uncomfortable and very impractical."

"I've gotten an 'E' on a test once."

It went on like that for awhile with all of us saying something and then Violet would retort. Eventually Sirius bet Violet that all of those things would happen and she accepted. After all what would we be if we didn't fight the Marauders? After awhile we started talking about Quidditch.

"Charlotte, Violet are you guys excited for our last Quidditch season?" asked Sirius. (Charlotte was a chaser, Violet was a Beater, Sirius was another chaser, and James was Seeker.)

"Hell yeah! We're going to shove Slytherin's team into the ground!" shouted Charlotte.

'Who's the captain, by the way?" asked Violet.

Sirius put his arm around James.

"Why Prongsie here has not only become Head Boy, but has also became Team captain!"

"You gotta be kidding me!" I shouted. "Maybe all of the teachers got drunk one night! Why would anyone make Potter Gryffindor Quidditch captain, let alone Head boy?!" I started to scowl.

"Awww, Lilyflower what can I do to put a smile back on your pretty face?" asked James.

"Hmmm…how about you stop calling me Lilyflower? And it would also help if you stopped being an egotistical, selfish, bigheaded, stupid prat who's like an annoying fly that won't leave me alone!"

There was complete silence. Charlotte, Elizabeth, and violet were looking at me with concern. Sirius, Remus, Peter, and James were all gaping.

"Lily is it that time of month again?" asked James. "I can't be all that bad."

I slapped him across his face.

"Why, I oughta---"

Charlotte pinned my arms behind me.

"Calm down Emerie! James was only teasing, right James? (James nodded while rubbing his cheek. Serves him right!) Right. Oh look at that, it's time to get off the train. You first Lily," she said, grabbing my trunk and her, while pushing me out of the compartment.

This was definitely going to be the worst year ever!
