Well, I've seen a million fics about James and the Marauders, so I decided
to write one about Lily and her friends, of course the Marauders are in it,
though. But being as wonderful as I am, I won't stop there, there will
also be a story on Harry's life during his fifth year at Hogwarts. So it's
a well-rounded fic. Unfortunately, that means it'll be long. -_-;;;
Anyway, I try to get the chapters out as quickly as possible, but my first EOC is coming up in a week, it'll probably be over with by the time I post this, so please hold nothing against me. Please. -_-;; I already said that. Well, I hope you like it, enjoy.

Chapter 1
Train to Hogwarts
Lily Evans stood exceptionally nervously on platform nine and three quarters. She ran a hand through her beautiful, long, red hair, and she began walking towards the train to find a compartment and her seat for the ride.
She was extremely nervous about going to Hogwarts. Her parents weren't magical, and she didn't really know exactly what to expect. She had already read over her books. They all seemed fairly interesting.
Lily walked up and down the train, trying to find an empty room, but the closest one she could find was one with a lone girl in it. Lily knocked politely on the door, and stepped in when the other girl didn't say anything. She calmly sat in the seat opposite the girl. Lily wanted to wait for the other girl to speak, but she only stared out the window, veiled with her own sandy-brown hair.
"Hello, my name is Lily Evans." Lily spoke, her beautiful green eyes smiling.
"My name is Joniya Simsth. But, I would much rather be called Jone." The girl replied. When she turned, Lily was surprised to see huge eyes the color of molten gold.
"Your eyes, they're beautiful!" Lily spoke the first thing that came into her mind, and mentally kicked herself for it. 'That's a great way to make friends. "I like your eyes," ugh, even I would be afraid of me.' Lily mentally scolded herself. Lily was even more shocked to see Jone smile, it changed her whole appearance.
"Thank you, Lily." Jone spoke in a soft melodic voice. "Your eyes are very pretty, too." Jone turned to continue to stare out the window onto the platform, but now she still sat in silence, a comfortable silence. Lily sat back in her seat, a content look on her face. She had made her first new friend. Their friendly silence was interrupted when another girl barged in and slammed the door shut behind her. She heavily sighed and plopped down on Jone's side of the bench. This girl had chin lengthed blonde hair and clear robin's egg blue eyes.
"I hope you don't mind me hiding here, but those horrible Slytherin boys are so . . .so . . .," she drifted off, searching her mind for the word she was looking for. "Horrible?" Lily offered. The girl nodded once, in a curt agreement. "Exactly. Hi, my name is Danielle Jonsone. You can call me Dan, or Dani. Never Danielle. I hate the name Danielle." Danielle said smiling at the two more quiet girls.
"Well, Dani, I'm Lily Evans, and this is Joniya Simsth, call her Jone." Lily said kindly.
"Does she talk?" Dani asked, bewildered at Jone's silence, she was usually surrounded by talkative people. "Of course, I talk, I just wait to see if people are worth talking to." Jone said, still staring outside as the train left the platform nine and three quarters. "so, am I worth talking to?" Dani asked grinning like an idiot.
"Well, Dani, you passed my test." Jone said turning from "her" window and extending Dani a hand to shake. "Whoa!" Dani muttered at Jone's eyes. 'Like you should say anything, your eyes turn silver whenever the moon is out.' She chided herself. (a/n: yes, there's a point to the whole eye thing, it's important later in the story) "Anyway, nice to meet you." Dani smiled and took a seat on Lily's side.
Their compartment door opened yet again, and this time three boys stood in the doorway. Three full Slytherin-material guys. The one in the middle had greasy black hair, on his right was a boy with white-blonde hair and a scowl, and the third was a burly muscle-bound brunette. "Get out of here!" Dani spat. "Severus, Lucius, Evan, get out!" she went to pick up the closest thing next to her and throw it at them, but she thought better of it, considering the closest thing to her was her brand-new wand.
"Shut up, you filthy half-breed!" the one on the right snapped.
"Make me, Malfoy!" Dani said, and stuck out her tongue. "Forget you, Danielle, we just want to know what your friends are, Mudbloods no doubt, because they're with you!" Snape, the one in the middle laughed. Jone left her calm and stood up at this, anger thick around her.
"No one here is a Mudblood, you jerk. You have no right to barge around calling people such things! I'll teach you a lesson, myself!" Jone snapped angrily. "No git outta here!" She raised her wand, as if to carry out her threat. She knew she wasn't allowed to use magic, and she wouldn't, but those jerks didn't have to know that.
"Oh, let's all quiver in fear, she told us to git!" Snape laughed, and Malfoy joined in. Deneils (Evan) apparently didn't understand the joke.
"Get out of here, you despicable . . . you malicious . . . you over-all mean jerks! Unless, of course, that you would like to continue an argument with the three of us." Said a black haired boy, whom was waving his wand like it was a sword in an overly dramatic way.
"Black, you are such an idiot." Snape replied, but he and his cronies left. Dani clapped at Sirius's performance. "Beautiful, simply beautiful." Sirius bowed, continuing to be overly dramatic. On his third bow, however, he smacked one of his friends in the face with his wand, and decided he had enough bowing done for the day.
"Hullo," he said, flashing a prize-winning smile. "My name is Sirius Black, this is my buddy, James Potter, and my pal, Remus Lupin." Both boys smiled upon their introductions. "May we join you?" One boy Remus asked.
"Sure, come on in." Dani said, pulling the boys into the compartment as she spoke. Remus sat across from Jone, and joined her in staring out the window. They began, almost a sort of game. They would both stare out the window and try to steal glimpses of the other while they (the other) was staring out the window. On one of her gazes, Jone decided that Remus was cute. He had short chestnut hair, and chocolate-colored eyes. He was not really tall, but taller than her. It didn't matter to her that his robes were secondhand, clothes just weren't that important.
Remus was thinking much the same thing about her, on his only glimpse. He loved her shoulder-blade long sandy-brown hair with a slight curl to it. She was half-a-head shorter, so if they were standing she would have to lean back, just so, to look him in the eyes. And while thinking about her eyes, their own eyes met. That fully brought his thoughts to them. Molten gold, shimmering, beautiful, her eyes hypnotized Remus. When he broke the stare, he was much more careful about sneaking looks at her, he didn't want to get caught again. That would ruin the game.
Dani and Sirius were loudly talking. "Well, the red-head is Lily, and the one that's either staring out the window or at Remus it Jone." Jone turned to Dani when she heard her name. She stuck her tongue out, and returned her gaze to the passing scenery. Dani just laughed and continued her conversation with Sirius even more loudly than before.
Jone just rolled her golden eyes, and Remus smiled apologetically at her for the attitude of his friend. Jone returned the look for Dani, and smiled at the corners of their lips.
"So, James," Lily tried to begin a conversation with the only other person not busy. "what is it like to have magical parents?"
"Are yours Muggles?" he asked, confused until she nodded. "oh, I see. Having magical parents is just like having normal parents, except you get much weirder chores!" Lily didn't understand, and the confusion was clearly shown in her shocking emerald eyes. "De-gnoming a garden, for example. Little rascals, they are!" Lily nodded, she's read about gnomes.
"I can't wait to get to Hogwarts! I'll just die if they put me in Slytherin, though." Dani said.
"I'd jump right back on this train and go home!" Sirius explained. Dani and most of the group nodded.
"Either that or I'd evict myself or something." James spoke, a mischievous glint in his eyes . . . "Or maybe I'd evict the rest of Slytherin!"
"Whatever happens at Hogwarts happens for a reason." Remus spoke wisely. Jone didn't say anything, but she silently agreed.
(a/n: that's all for chapter 1. When I get . . .oh . . .10 reviews, I'll post my next chapter. 10's a lot, I know, but like I said I have the dreaded EOC in four days, and I need support in at least one aspect of my life! So . . .poor all of us! Well, review, review, and review! I'll also make the next chapter much longer.as long as I can! Well Ciao!)
Anyway, I try to get the chapters out as quickly as possible, but my first EOC is coming up in a week, it'll probably be over with by the time I post this, so please hold nothing against me. Please. -_-;; I already said that. Well, I hope you like it, enjoy.
