It was the Marauders' sixth year at Hogwarts.

It was, really, their last free year, with the Seventh year having to worry about NEWTS and jobs. Their sixth year was going to be filled with pranks and girls in Sirius's and James' case.

But there was one more reason that this sixth year was going to be more special then all the others...

And that is where this story begins...

"Padfoot, really, you have got to relax!" Remus Lupin urged, scared that his best friend was going to have a heart attack if he didn't calm down.

"I'm relaxed! I'm just wondering why she isn't here. She should be here! It's bad enough that she had to miss the first week of school, but she was supposed to be here by Breakfast this morning, we are now eating dinner!" Sirius Black said worriedly.

"So that's what we are doing! Geez, all these years I thought we were eating Lunch." James Potter sarcastically.

"I'm just worried about her. I haven't seen her in two years!" Sirius continued, ignoring James.

"Really, we didn't realize that you were worried."

Sirius glared at his friend, and they all got up to go up to their room, for they had finished eating.

"So, Sirius, what exactly does your sister look like?" Peter asked, once they reached their bed rooms.

"I have a picture of her over here." He answered grabbing a picture from his trunk and handing it over to his friends.

There was a picture of a fourteen year old red head girl (A/N: Hmm...ideas?) Who was kind of chubby, waving at the camera.

"Your sister doesn't look anything like you." Peter said bluntly.

"Yea well, she's my half sister. My Father cheated on my Mother, and that woman gave up my sister to adoption."

James had met her two years ago, Sirius had taken him to see her at her muggle house. She wasn't that attractive, not at all like the girls that James went out with. She had some sort of naivety about her, but her Green eyes were captivating, even in a picture.

Sirius, noticing that James was looking at the picture a little to hardly for his taste, took the picture back, and was about to say something to him when he was interrupted.

"SIRIUS BLACK! GET YOUR ARSE DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!" Came from downstairs.

Sirius's face lit up, and he dashed for the door, his fellow Marauders following him confused.

They watched as Sirius swept a red head up into a hug. A very, very pretty red head. Very.

"Lily! I'm so glad you're here! What took you so long!" Sirius asked his half-sister.

"I took a couple hours to say goodbye to some friends. And are these the famous Marauders you told me about?" Lily asked him, noticing the three boys behind them.

"Yeah, Lily, meet, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and of course you know James Potter, mates, this is my sister, Lily." He introduced them.

They were amazed that this was the same girl as the girl in the picture. James was amazed that this was the girl that he had met two years ago.

She was skinny, she had lost the chubbiness that she had when she was younger. Her red hair fell straight down to just below her shoulders, but was angled so it had shorter hairs framing her face. She wasn't wearing the School Uniform, obviously, so she was wearing a mini skirt with a tank top on. She had on brown eyeliner, that made her green eyes shine even more, if it was possible. She was nothing short of drop dead gorgeous.

"Let me guess, Moony and Wormtail, right?" She asked Remus and Peter, getting the correct nickname to the correct person.

"How did you know that?" Remus asked curiously.

"Dunno, just a guess." Lily said giving him a warm smile.

"Ah, Ms. Evans, I'm glad you found the Gryffindor common room successfully." Dumbledore said as he entered the common room, causing all of the student who weren't already paying attention, to look up. But that was a very few, most everyone in the common room were watching this girl and the most popular guys in school.

"Yes, it wasn't that hard, it's a lot like my old school." Lily said to Dumbledore.

"Ah, very good. And I'm sure that if you need anything Sirius or the other Marauders would help you, especially James." Dumbledore said, with a twinkle in his eye.

"Why would Lily go to Pro- James? I'm here, she could come to me." Sirius asked cluelessly.

"Yes, of course. Well, I suspect that Professor McGonagall gave you your schedule and informed you of our rules?" Dumbledore asked Lily.

"Yes, Professor."

"Good, good, well then, Welcome to Hogwarts, Lily. I suspect you'll do well here...if these four don't have anything to do with it." Dumbledore said slyly, smiling.

"Why, Professor! I am shocked at that accusation! We are perfect angels!" Sirius said in mock innocence.

"I'm sure, well, good night all." Dumbledore said, addressing everyone in the Common Room.

"So, Sirius, is there anywhere we can go to talk, perhaps somewhere, where people aren't staring at us?" Lily asked smirking.
