(A/N: this is the first chapeter but I continued it to it's full length
thanx so much for the reviews! I have changed Lilly to Lily, just like
you said! LOL I have tried to take all your advice. Ummm, the spelling.
I'm writing this on windows notepad, so I don't have a spell checker.
My Microsoft Word is messed up. Please understand.)

Disclaimer: I don't own them, they don't own me. j/k the characters
are JKR's, except for Elizabeth. and the plot is mine.

This my first try at a fan fic so review. There may be some spelling
mess-ups. Please understand.

They're in their 3rd year, and it's started around Febuary. MwPP time.
Peter is really Neglected. (I hate the disgusting rat.)
The chapters will probably be Fairly short, but their will be many.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lily Evans walked slowly down the foriegn hallway, her
footsteps echoing loudly. Lily looked around amazed. She had been
here for three years AND she was lost. she shook her head. This place
would never cease to amaze her.

As she turned the corner, she walked
directly into James Potter. She knew him slightly since he was best
friends with Sirius Black her 'big brother'-like friend, in Gryffindor,
and in her grade. She avoided James since she thought he was
arrogant, immature, and thoughtless.

James cleared his dark brown eyes, only to see Lily looking up
at him. Her startling green eyes were looking up at him and her red
hair fell in soft curls down to her mid-back. He groaned inwardly. Why
did girls with no personality have to get the looks? He thought Lily
was a stuck up fool, way to used to getting her own way.
Obviously, neither wanted anything to do with each other.

"Oh, excuse me." Lily said side stepping him as she continued.
she would not ask him where they were. She WOULDN'T.

James held out his hand to stop her, surprising himself.
"Wait, errr.., do you know where this hall goes?"

When Lily heard his voice she looked up into his brown eyes
and messy coal black hair. Oh, so that's what my roommates are talking
about, she thought in agreement. Lily, What are you DOING? Stop it! She
commanded herself fiercely. "oh well, not exactly. I've been wanderiing
around for hours trying to figure out where I'm going and where I've
been," She said lightly in her musical voice.

James was startled. He had never thought she would be like this.
So, well, UNIQUE. "oh. d'you mind if I go along?"

Lily looked at him strangely. Why did he want to walk with her?
"of Course." Lily smiled slightly and grabbed his hand, pulling him
around to face the other direction. "c'mon. Let's go. This-a-way."

James smiled as he allowed himself to be turned around pulled
along. She reminded him of a little girl used to getting her way, but
now it didn't seem snobby at all.

Soon they were walking side by side, talking about school,
quidditch, and whatever else they happened to mention. Step-by-step,
their aforementioned thoughts about each other were demolished.

Eventually, they found a hallway they recognized and soon
found their way back to the common room.

Rosmerta Francois, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Elizabeth
Xithimonias all looked up at Lily and James in confusion. Elizabeth,
being the most outspoken, spoke first.

"Lily, Did I miss something? You're walking around with the
'dumb jock'?" Elizabeth smiled at James to let him know she was kidding.

"James, are you okay? You're walking around with the 'poetic
princess'?" Sirius countered, grinning at them both.

Lily and James both blushed, and looked at each other shyly.
A smile crept onto James's face and was soon mirrored by Lily.

Lily underneath her her exterior was quite a joker. She
put a pained, thoughtful expression on her face and walked over to
Sirius, while saying, "Woe to the fool who dareth mock me." She
dramaticaly raised a hand to her head and pretended to faint, landing
on Sirius and Remus.

Opening her eyes slowly, she engaged Sirius in a piercing
stare.
"Poetic princess? Siri, you know me better than that." She
pulled herself up into a sitting position between the two guys.

Sirius laughed and threw his arm around her shoulder. "He
said it, not me." Sirius gave James a devilish grin.

James felt a pang of jealousy. Why on earth should I be
jealous? She's not my girlfriend or anything. James pushed that thought
out of his mind, and imitated a rather stupid guy in Slytherin, Crabbe.

James looked at them in mock confusion, "Huh?" He said,
bewilderment written clearly across his face.

Elizabeth fell out of her chair laughing, "That's a very good
look for you! Try one day in Potions!"

Elizabeth stood up. She was quite pretty with big brown eyes
and long medium brown hair. She thought she was dull looking, but
judging fron the look on Remus's face it was obvious that Remus didn't
think so.

Lily noticed that look and smiled to herself. She had known
that Remus and Elizabeth would adore each other. She leaned back
against Sirius and listened to the argument Rumus and Elizabeth were
having.

"It is too easier with two quaffles," Elizabeth ranted.

"You're crazy!" Remus retaliated with a grin.

A bell rang, announcing dinner in the Great Hall. They all
exited the portrait hole, sandy-haired Remus and Elizabeth in the lead.

As they entered the Great Hall, Severous Snape and Lucius
Malfoy stepped in front of them. Elizabeth looked up surprised, while
anger clouded Remus's face.

"Elizabeth, I thought you had good taste! But I guess once you
start spending time with losers you can't get out of the habit." Malfoy
sneered maliciously.

James started to speak, but was silenced by Lily, who whispered
"Let her handle it. Wait."

Elizabeth smiled sweetly at him, giving no sign of the anger
that lurked beneath. "I guess you would know, wouldn't you?" She said
looking pointedly at Snape.

Malfoy drooled over Elizabeth and tried to work out what she
had said. Snape, however was a little quicker on th uptake. He glared
at her and started to speak.

Elizabeth cut him off. "See ya around." She smiled at Malfoy
and walked past him, her shoulder brushing his. she reached back and
grabbed Remus pulling him after her. The rest of the group followed,
laughing all the way.

"Jeeze, Beth. You almost had me fooled there for a second,"
Remus said, once they sat down.

Elizabeth stood up and took a quick bow. "Thank you, Thank you."
She quickly sat back down and continued,"I was thinking. Tomorrow we
have potions with the Slytherins, right?" They all nodded not sure what
she was going at. "I'll be partners with Malfoy." She made a gagging
gesture." Anyway, I'll act like I like him. Then I'll slip one of
those exploding candies Lily invented into his cauldron. For scientific
purposes of course." She said innocently.

James looked at Lily with interest. "You invented an exploding
candy?"

"Don't act so surprised! I made it for my sister, but I decided
she might give it to someone else so I never sent it." Lily smiled.
"Elizabeth, I love it! I should have one or two left over."

James, Sirius, and Remus had been looking at each other
strangely, muttering.

Rosmerta looked up. "sirius, who are the marauders? or did you
say Marters?"

The three boys blushed furiously. Sirius cleared his throat and
said,"Err.. Look there's Professor Dumbledore. Binns was realy mad that
Dumbledore became headmaster. Said he had been here longer and deserved
it more." Sirius rambled on and on.
The girls were looking at him strangely. The boys were nodding
along at everything he said, seeming to be in perfect agreement.
