REAL STORY THROUGHT GENERATIONS

Chapter First: And the day supposed to be so nice!

We all do know how it starts: two people meet eachother, then befriends, fall in love with eachother and then get marry and have kids; rase them to good and honest people. Yes, we do know it very well, but not always is like this, there are cases when in, which they say "from hate to love". The story, which I want to tell you does belong to such kind, to get it to know more clearly we have to move back in time to...

1972 year

It was warm and sunny day of first month of Hogwart. Young, 13 years old, girl by the name of Lily Evans was slowly walking out from the castle carring the bag, in which were one of her favourite books and some school books as well. After all...nothing was more comfortable than to study on the open area, breathing fresh air, when the lake gives out quiet shimmering noice. Everything seemed so calm and perfect now. If she didn't know her life better, she'd life with happy and naive version, that it'd stay this way. But by the every single time that she dared herself, to be like this even for few minutes something, what was opposed to this theory happened. Something like...meeting the most annoying in muggle and wizard's world guys, who were known as infamous Marauders, of course! Well, to be sincere not all Marauders were bad. Remus J. Lupin certainly wasn't and it surprised her why so tender and carring boy was friends with so bigheaded and selfcentralised jerks like James Potter and Sirius Black. Anyway, the moment in which wonderful day would end was getting nearer and nearer, she could feel it as she sat down under the tree, which stood on the lake's coast.

Brushing pale golden curls over her shoulder, Marlene McKinnon grinned as she spotted a familiar redhead sitting by herself underneath the tree standing beside the lake. "Lily!" she called out, giving a small wave, charm branclet jingling on her wrist. Speeding up her walk, she rushed over to where her close friend sat, her school skirt swishing against her exposed legs - typical Hogwart's uniform.Blue eyes with flecks over silver expressed joyous excitement as she caught up to the redhead, before seating herself down beside the girl smoothing out her skirt. She gave her friend a bright smile and gazed curiously at the things she had brought outside with her. "What's with all the books?" she questioned lightly.

Lily smiled brightly at her best friend and quickly replied at Marlene's question "Hi Marlene, of course one of criminal-novels...meaning muggle's book and couple of school books. You know, I wanted to learn a bit on open air.." she looked carefully around before continuing "As long as they're not nearby." Really, someone would think she was affraid of 'them'...and he would be wrong. Not affraid, but...annoyed? No...it's not this word either...well, the point is...she had enough of them and till the end of school were five years counting third year in it.

"Eh, the Marauders you mean?" Marlene questioned, eyeing her friend wairly "Aww, come off it - they're not too bad...Remus is rather thoughtful and Peter can be somwhat adorable, if he's not sucking up to your lover over there...and James can be quite funny somethimes, though he really should lay off bothering you." She pressed her lips together, in thought - refraining from mentioning the fourth remaing Marauder, Sirius Black.

Lily roled her eyes in reply commenting "As if this was possible, Marlene...you don't know how many times I hoped that he'll back off, but no. Can someone be so annoying and stubboarn at the same time?? Anyway, you're right, but only about Remus. And...Potter isn't my lover!" here she closed her eyes to calm down a bit "And even you haven't said

anything to excuse Black's behaviour."

"Whatever you say, Lils, whatever you say." Marlene replied unable to hide a grin. Sighing and leaning back against the tree, she closed her eyes for a bit, before opening them to stare up at the sunlight flitering in between leaves from the tree "As for Black - well you know how he is." She pressed her lips together, refusing to elaborate anymore. No one, save for her journal knew about her small, microscoping liking for a certain mr Black. Shruging a shoulder, she gazed sideways, a bit of commotion catching her attention. "Speaking of lovers or lack thereof, gues who's here?" she questioned watching the exchange between Marauders - not too far off.

Lily almoust gasped hearing first part of an answer "Not 'whatever I say', it's only the truth, Marlene. Of course I know how Black is: selfcentralised macho." hearing the rest of sentence, especially the end she frowned looking in their direction "Only not they, wait, I have an idea. We'll just very slowly walk away, before they even realise that we're here. What would you say?"

"I suppose..." Marlene conisdered thoughtfully, half eager to go with Lily's plan, yet half dissapointed wantint to catch a word with Sirius. What? No! She didn't like Black, not one bit! He was a cheating, playing, womanizer - "Sure, I suppose we can try to sneak past." she concluded giving her a head curt nod.

Lily frowned seeing Remus turning to them, but when she understand the sign, which he gave she could only smile "It's our chance, we can go." Marlene gave a half-hearted sigh and followed her friend's lead as the pair slowly began to walk in the opposite direction away from the Marauders.

Though it wasn't their, or better to say her, day. When they almoust dissapeared from the view the voice behind them was to hear. It could be only one person in the world "OI, EVANS!" Lily frowned stoping walking. She knew this voice too well, it belonged to noone else than James Potter. Through her mind passed though //And the day supposed to be so nice!//
