Chapter One - Lily's First Punishment The Hogwarts express had just pulled up and all the students were pouring on board to start the New Year. James Potter; a boy with messy uncontrollable black hair and glasses was waiting for one of his friends Sirius Black; a tall handsome boy with dark black hair to put his trunk on the train so they could get in. As usual Sirius was prating about, but James wasn't paying any attention he was looking at a girl boarding the train further down. She had long red hair and dazzling bright green eyes, James couldn't help but notice her. It was Lily Evans he had never really paid much attention to her before he had only ever seen her talk to Remus occasionally about their prefect duties and sitting in the common room reading books on her own. "Hey Jamesie me boy you comin' on board or do I have to drag you on Remus and Peter have found us a compartment.woohoo James" Sirius slapped James round the head and brought him to his senses. "I'm comin' don't get your boxers in a twist"

"How do you know I wear boxers?" He asked giving James a funny look.

"Sirius we live in the same house I've been in your room I'v seen the mess there are boxers everywhere" "Its all those girls I have stop round when your parents aren't there" "Yeah sounds like that's the kind of thing you would do," said James as they walked down to their compartment. "look who's talking along with me you are a player admit it" "Ok I admit it you happy" said James distracted looking through the glass windows to see who was in each compartment. Sirius waved his hand in front of James's eyes but got no response. "So what's wrong with Jamesie then you seem a little disconnected my friend" "I'm fine just looking for someone" "Who?" they walked into their compartment where a tired sandy haired he was called Remus and a short tubby lad Peter were sitting eating chocolate frogs and swapping cards. "It doesn't matter now" James sat down and helped himself to a chocolate frog but Sirius wouldn't give in that easily nor would Remus but Peter knew better than to interfere especially with the temper James could have. "It doesn't matter about what?" Said Remus suddenly interested in what they were talking about and not swapping cards. "He was looking for someone but wont tell me who and he's not quite with it either" "Look I told you it doesn't matter why don't you just leave it" snapped James "Ok ok I'll leave it but you know when we are at school I'll just find out about it anyway" "Yeah whatever" "well have it your way Mr Grumpy" Sirius started to shovel chocolate frogs into his mouth but nearly chocked when he started laughing.

When they arrived and Hogwarts and went into the great hall for the feast James and the rest of the marauders sat down and Sirius who always thought about his stomach was hugging it and whining about how long the sorting would be so he could start eating. As James watched the sorting ceremony he spotted the red haired girl sitting with two other girls one with dark raven coloured hair and the other had light brown wavy hair. Dumbledore had said his little announcement and they started eating James found that he wasn't really that hungry and all he could do was take little glances towards Lily. Halfway through dinner Remus noticed who James was looking at gave him an amused look. "What?" Said James trying to look innocent but failing "She's pretty isn't she?" He said with a smile playing on his lips. "Not really.well shes not ugly but not my type" "How do you know shes not your type you don't know her, just 'cause shes not your usual ditzy blond" "I don't just go for ditzy blonds do I?" Said James shocked, Remus didn't reply put pointed his head in the direction behind James. James turned and a blond Hufflepuff came running over and jumped on his lap and started kissing him all over. "Err hi erm." "Jessica" she said "Yeah well Jessica its been nice and everything but we cant go out anymore" Jessica looked hurt at James and went to her table wiping the tears from her face James took another look at Lily who was looking at him, or rather glearing and giving him a diry look. James didn't understand she didn't know anything about him! So why was she looking at him like that? He didn't want the first time Lily noticed him for her to be looking at him like that.

The first few days of the new school term were going well James hadn't forgotten about Lily and had spent the days thinking about what to do but he couldn't decide. The marauders had played many pranks but for some reason James couldn't think of a prank he thought was fitting for Lily. So James did what he always did when he needed help, he turns to the marauders for some ideas. "Guys I need your help" James said walking into the boys dormitory on Saturday morning after breakfast. So all the marauders sat on James's bed and listened. "So Jamesie what do you want help with?" Said Sirius "Don't call me Jamsie, and I want you to help me come up with a prank worthy to play on Lily Evans. Got any ideas?" James said with a big grin. "Why'd you want to prank Lily Evans?" Said Remus a concerned look on his face "She's annoyed me that's all, and she deserves a prank" "Well Jamesie" James gave Sirius a warning look but Sirius continued "lets use your invisibility cloak to go and spy on Lily see if we can find anything out about her then use a spell which Remus here being the book worn he is will already know or can find for us to put up whatever we find out about Lily in the enchanted ceiling so everyone can see it." Sirius finished with a satisfying grin on his face. James returned the grin "Right jobs; Remus you find a spell to put writing and maybe even an animation into the enchanted ceiling, Peter you will help Remus, me and Sirius are going to go and spy on Lily" They all left their dormitory and went to do their appointed jobs. James and Sirius put the cloak around them both and headed up the stairs to the girls dormitory.

When they were in there Lily and the two girls he had saw her with at the start of term fest were sitting in the raven haired girls bed she was called Tammy and the brown haired girl Mel, were talking about how far they had gone with a lad. "Well come on then Tam who? When? Where?" said Lily giggling "Well. Sean Critswell two years ago I went the furthest with him, what about you Lily we've heard from Mel and me so Who? When? Where?" "well." Lily blushed a little "I have only ever been out with one lad and we only kissed and that was when I was ten at a muggle school" Lily looked strait into her friends shocked faces proudly, little did she realise they weren't the only shocked faces. All three girls turned quickly when they heard their door open but nothing was there so they carried on talking. Meanwhile back in the boys dormitories James pulled the cloak from off him and Sirius. "Why did you leave we could have got more dirt I don't see what was so interesting that we could use to really embarrass her?" Sirius looked confused. "Padfoot I had an idea when she said she had only ever had one boyfriend and she only kissed him it gave me an idea she seemed proud about the fact that she was an innocent so we change it" "To what?" Sirius aid smiling "To Lily Evans is not a virgin" Both James and Sirius smiled just then Remus and Peter walked in and Remus didn't look too pleased. "You cant put that I don't see why we have to prank her she's done nothing to us and you know it. This is going to make things awkward what am I supposed to say if she says something to me at prefect meetings it's going to be so awkward" he slumped down and put the books he and Peter had got onto James's bed. "Well Remus if she finds out its us I'll say you had nothing to do with it" Remus didn't look convinced "Please we need your help you're the best at reading and research." That evening everyone made their way down to the hall, the marauders of course had already made a trip down their earlier but came down to dinner with everyone else and see their handy work. In the enchanted ceiling, which was a cloudy, grey the words 'Lily Evans lost her virginity at twelve years old' in big bold purple letters. Some people laughed, some looked shocked and some just stared. When Lily herself walked into the hall and Tammy and Mel pointed towards the ceiling and Lily looked up and saw what had been write about her. She started to have streams of tears running down her cheeks and ran out of the hall with Tammy and Mel after her. Remus looked and felt guilty, Peter showed no emotion just carried on eating like nothing had happened James and Sirius on the other hand were laughing into their dinner and spluttering it everywhere. Back in the girls dormitory Tammy and Mel were trying to calm Lily down. "Who would do such a thing?" shouted Lily crying Tammy and Mel just hugged and comforted her not knowing what else to do. "We don't know Lily maybe someone else does you could ask?" Said Tammy "How can I ask, everyone will just laugh and call me names whoever's done this has ruined my life" and with that Lily went to bed and cried herself to sleep thinking about who could be so cruel. In the boys dormitory there was a celebration-taking place. "Well Prongs I gotta hand to you that was a good prank" Said Sirius "You do know she will find out who did it," said Remus still not convinced it was a good idea especially as James had forgotten to mention why he had to pick on Lily. "Ah you just feel bad because you fancy Lily" said Sirius "No, its not me that fancies Lily. I'm going to bed night lads".
