James POV
"Mudblood." That was all it took to ruin Snape's and Evan's friendship. For the past five years, dispite the house they had been place Severus Snape, a greasy Slytherin git and Lily Evans, a beautiful Gryffindor, were close friends. Until that day on the train, I had a major crush on Lily and I was trying to become friends with her. Sirius Black, my best friend who was practically my brother and I were walking to find the trolley happened to stumble upon a fighting Severus and Lily. All we heard was Snape muttering the worst thing you can call a muggle-born witch or wizard.
"Mudblood." He muttered, loud enough for everyone to hear around, including me and Sirius. Lily's jaw dropped as she turned around.
"That's it Severous Snape! I hate you! This friendship has ENDED!" She yelled. "Go snog a dog or something." She mumbled, only I heard. I chuckled a little.
"Padfoot, how about some Marauder's magic?" I whispered to Sirius.
"Prongs, That's the best idea I've heard today." He said smiling evily.
We watched Snape lumber into a compartment alone, not realizing Marauder Peter was in there, scowling at Snape we locked the door with a jinx. We burst into a fit of laughter and went through the throng of student to find a compartment to sit in the remainder of our trip to Hogwarts. I turned to an almost empty compartment. Sirius didn't realize my absence as across from the one person in the compartment, sniggering. I noticed then, the crying girl across from me was Lily Evans.
"Evans, are you okay?" I whispered, hoping not to scare her. I felt terrible as Snape had been her only friend. I'd kill him if I had the power in me to do so. I'd just mess with him the next three years. I smiled to myself, but frowned as red-eyed Lily looked at me.
"James Potter? What do you want. I said no all last year, it hasn't changed over the summer." She glared, referring to my asking her out every single day, in year four. It was now year five and my feeling for her hadn't changed.
"I don't want to ask you out. I just want to be your friend." I replied sincerely, Not noticing Sirius Black and Remus Lupin standing at the door.
"No really, he just wants to get to snogging you." Sirius said as Lily giggled.
"Really, I just want to be friend." I groaned, glaring at my two bestfriends , finding me at the worst possible time.
"Friends?" Lily smiled. "Sure you can handle me." She giggled.
"Hey, I wanna be friends too!!" Sirius whined at her.
"The first Marauder's girl." Remus said, beaming.
"I am not going to play pranks on anyone in my line of vision!" She said, smiling though.
"Fine, Marauder's cheerleader." We all burst out laughing, as the train stopped we all filled out to the carriages. I smiled ear to ear, this was going to be a great year.
Lily's POV
I sat down in the great hall, watching the food appear on the platters going down the middle of the table. I was so glad to have friends, I thought there wouldn't be anyone to be friends with after my fight with Snape. Now I had three of the funniest friends ever. I sat next to Remus Lupin, across from James Potter and diagonal from Sirius Black. They called themselves the Marauder's and they had another friend, Peter Pettigrew. Though calling themselves Padfoot, Prongs, Wormtail and Moony. I knew James liked me, he made point of it last year. I didn't like him that way. I looked around for Peter.
"Where's…" I was about to ask where Peter was when Remus beat me too it.
"Where's our dear wormtail?" He asked.
"Well, Moony he by chance fell asleep on the train as in third year. He probably is on his way to King's Cross once again." James laughed.
"Prongs, Moony! Last time he stayed for half the year!" Sirius said with mock fear.
"Dearest Padfoot, we know you love Wormtail there, but we mustn't worry about your boyfriend. " James said.
"Moony thinks we shall show Padfoot what it's like to be with real women while Wormtail is away." Remus laughed.
I couldn't help it, apparently neither could James nor Remus, we three burst into roars of laughter. Sirius frowned at us, I loved how they used their 'code names' as though they weren't talking of themselves . That made me laugh harder.
Sirius groaned loudly. "Must I ALWAYS be the victum!" He whined.
"Yes!" The rest of us said.
Dumbledore stood as the first years walked in to be sorted. We had three new students assigned to our house. Rufus Blackhorn, Ivy Walker, and Alex Roads. The Marauder's and me got of the follow the Head's of Gryffindor to our Common Room.
"Silly little mudblood mixing in with Purebloods." Bellatrix Lestrange giggled, tripping me as Slytherin passed us.
"Bellatrix! You fowl git stay away from my friends." Sirius growled at his cousin. Remus and James pulled me up.
"Oh, Padfoot it's all good fun." She giggled again. "Your mum will be so glad to know your friends with Werewolves and Mudbloods." She threatened.
"My mum cares not what I do." He shot back.
"Sirius, let's go." I said, pulling his shirt as he started to following Bellatrix instead of coming to the Common Room. "I'm fine. She does it all the time." This made him slightly angrier, but allowed me to drag him along.
"Just tell me next time she does, The Marauder's have a few pranks planned." He winked at James and Remus. I bid my goodbyes to my friends and went up to my dormitory, promising to be back soon. I walked up to my dorm to meet the worst sight there could possibly be.
The three girls in my room were…
