It was ordinary day of a muggle, but for Witches and Wizards of Hogwarts, the year was about to start.

"Prongs, Padfoot wait up." Remus called running to catch up with his mates, Peter followed.

It was the boys seventh year and James had some news, of course when he told everyone they just well…um fainted (badly)

"Come again?" Remus asked.

"I A.M H.E.A.D B.O.Y." James spelt it out.

"Lily is going to kill you." The Marauders spun round and Lily's best friend, Kelcy stood there.

"That's what I thought," James said looking pale as Kelcy walked through the barricade to Platform 9 ¾.

"What that Lily is going to kill you?" Sirius asked

"Nope, guess again." James said looking even paler.

"Oh no." squeaked Peter, "She's Head Girl."

James nodded, Sirius patted him on the back, "Wow, this is going to be a good year." as he walked through barrier followed by Peter and Lupin.

James followed, "Wish me luck." He said as he headed for the Head Compartment.

"Lot's of luck mate loads." Muttered Remus. The three walked into a spare compartment. Laughter could be heard.

When James arrived he found it empty. He sat on the seat and looked out the window, the train was moving slowly.

"You are so kidding me."

"Lily's here." Muttered James to himself

"You are HEAD boy, I think I am going to spew." Lily said not realising she was going very white and spots had started to appear, as she stood there with a drink in here hand.

"Um, Lily." James said.

"What, Potter!" she snapped at him, her face very white.

"Lie down, Lily." James said.

"Why, so you can kiss me!" Lily yelled.

"NO, you are getting blue dots all over you body and face is WHITE as snow." James replied, "Now you are shaking."

"No… I'm…not." Lily said, she turned and then… collapsed.

"Lily!" James shrieked. He picked her up and put her on the seat, the drink she was holding was put well away and James put his head outside the Compartment, a sixth year named Lara walked past, "Lara can you please find Kelcy and Remus and Sirius and Peter, thanks."

She nodded and disappeared. James felt her pulse, "Ok she has one."

James was holding Lily's wrist when she noticed something, "Oh no." he turned and opened the door when he head a faint hiss. James grabbed Lily and slammed the door, when he looked inside there was about a 5 metre python.

Kelcy came round the corner, "What is going on?" She asked running.

"I need your help, in here." He opened the door and lay Lily down, "What's happened?" Kelcy asked, the door opened and the other Marauders arrived, "Sirius I need you to go and send an owl to McGonagall." James snapped.

James bent over, he wrapped a cloth around the bite, "Sorry if it's tight Lils, but it's the only way." He whispered.

"Move Potter." James turned around and saw McGonagall and Madame Promfry standing there.

"That was quick." James said.

The Marauders walked out and Peter asked, "What happened?" James nodded at the Head compartment.

Sirius, Remus and Peter looked inside, "Oh my god! What the heck is it?" Remus asked.

"A 5 metre python." James said as they walked into a spare compartment. He sat down and started to feel dizzy, "Prongs, what's up?" Sirius asked.

James shrugged his shoulders and looked at his ankle, then collapsed.

"My head…" James muttered and open his eyes, "Hello James, I'm Marie, you were bitten by a python."

"Lily," he said sitting up. He looked to the right and saw Lily lying in the bed to the right.

"She was attacked and someone poisoned her drink." Marie said.

Lily sat up moaning, then heard a voice, "Lily!" She turned and saw James sitting in the chair next to her bed.

"What are you and I doing her Potter?" She asked.

"Well on the train you went really white and got blue spots and then you collapsed and I saw a snake bite and as I was getting you out I got bitten." James replied, looking out the window.

"You… saved… m…y life," Lily whispered, "Why?"

"Well, what else was I suppose do to, leave you to die?" James started to look hurt.

"It didn't, oh James, come on." Lily said. James got up and walked out the door.

Lily sat in bed thinking, what had she done? I'm sorry James, she heard a voice, "Lily?" Lily turned and saw Kelcy.

"Hey." Lily replied.

"Do you mind if I brought someone?" Kelcy asked.

Lily shook her head. Remus, Sirius and Peter walked in. "Hi Lily!" they said together, "Hi guys. You said someone."

For half an hour Lily sat with Kelcy and the three Marauders, before they left, "Remus can I talk to you?" Lily asked. He nodded.

"What is it?" He asked.

"James." Lily replied.

"What happened… wait is this why he's unhappy?"

Lily nodded and looked out the window.

"I misplaced my words and then I think I hurt his feelings."

"Lily, you have broken his heart! He likes you so much and you hate him." Remus said, then stopped.

"What?" Lily said… "He told you that."

Remus nodded, "Four years, four years Lil." Then he walked out of the door.

James was patrolling the corridors when he heard a voice, "James?" He turned and saw N-H-Nick (Nearly Headless Nick) floating towards him, "This is for you." He gave James the note and floated off through one of the walls.

James opened the tiny folded note,

I'm sorry,

I didn't mean to hurt you

James sighed and put the note in his pocket.

That night James continued on patrol until midnight, before heading off to bed.

"Were you scared?" Kelcy asked

"What is it like to be poisoned and um… dead?" A blonde asked.

Lily was being bombarded with questions,

"Shut up!" Lily said yelling, "Now if you don't mind I would like some breakfast!" She got up and walked out of the portrait.

"Morning Lily!" Lily saw Sirius, Remus and Peter waving at her as she arrived in the Great Hall.

She sat down and took a piece of toast, "Welcome back Lily." Professor Slughorn said as he walked past.

"Thanks, where's James this morning?" She asked Remus who was sitting next to her.

"Don't know, actually I haven't seem him since he left for patrol." Remus said looking around.

"Right." Lily said, she got up followed by Kelcy and they left the hall.

As Lily walked towards Potions, she heard chuckling, "That ought to do." She hid as Lucius and his group walked past. "Hi Kelcy, what are you doing here?" Was heard as Lucius walked past.

"Going to class, thanks." Kelcy replied.
