Hi there everyone! So, this is my first HP fanfic.. While reading the last book, the story of Lily, James and the Mauraders found a soft spot in my heart. It's such a tragic story, and I do wish that Rowling decides to write a book, telling us the true story of Lily Evans, James Potter and the Mauraders. I think their story might as well be just as fascinating and exceptioall as the HP series. Does anyone know if she has decided writing such a book? If anyone knows, please tell me.

Anyways, I'm sorry for spelling mistakes, bad fragments, and such.. I'm Norwegian, so some of my sentences may seem a little weird, it's because I haven't gotten into my 'English' modus at the point :) And I have a tendency to be so caught up in my story, that I sometimes start to write Norwegian words among the English! I ecspesially mix up 'and' with 'og' which means the same! I hope you enjoy my story, 'cause I've really enjoyed writing it.

I have also taken the liberty in mixing together Rowlings' stuff and my own, so don't get furious if things aren't the way they are in the book. The whole story is set in Lily's POV, but I can't guarantee it will stay that way throught the entire thing. We'll just wait and see!

Chapter 1

When the sight of Hogwarts school of Witchcrafts and Wizardry met Lily Evans eyes, her lips formed a wide smile. Memories of her past five years on Hogwarts were flowing by, making a urge to laugh and cry. So many good and bad things had happened to her at this school, mostly good. Yes, Hogwarts was where she felt truly at home, where she belonged. All of her school years had been good too, up until the fifth year. The memory of her best friend, Severus Snape, screaming "mudblood" to her face was hard to forget. It was like the memory was a shadow over all of the good things. But Lily refused to think about it now. She and Severus were no longer friends, and would never become friends again. This, she knew for certain.

As she stepped into the Great Hall, hundreds of voices hit her at the same time. All of the four long tables were full of witches and wizards, ready to start another year of magic. Lily quickly found her friends at the Griffindor table, and made sure that she kept her eyes far away from the Slytherin table. She knew that seing Severus would be a hard blow in the stomach. After catching up with er closest friend, Veronica Mauritz, and listening to Dumbledores' speach, she headed for the Griffingdor common room. The thought of a comfortable bed was something she had been missing all summer. The bedroom she shared with er sister Petunia wasn't exactly big, and since Petunia claimed to have problems with her back, Lily had to sleep on the floor. Lily's family didn't have a lot of money, so the news of Lily going off to some boarding school came as a cheerfull surprise. Lily was glad to leave too, since the family relations weren't the best you could find. Both of her parents were muggles, and her father had a tendency to drink a lot and beat up her mother.

The next day was beautiful. The sun was shining, and every student seemed in a cheerfull and optimistic mood.

- "Lily!" a voice called behind her. It was easy to recognize it. Since she had grown up with Severus, Lily hadn't noticed the slimy and repelling sound in his voice, but now as they were not close anymore, it became obvious.

"Lily wait up!" he called. Lily ignored him, and started to walk faster. The last thing she wanted was to talk to him now, and the though of seing him was simply repelling. She could see the entrance of the classroom to the Defence against the Dark Arts, and was almost there when he grabbed her bag from behind, and forced her to turn around to face him. The first thing that went through her mind was that the summer had not been good to Severus. His face was paler than ever, with a hint of grey or green tone to it. Almost like he had nasea or something, Lily thought.. His greacy hair had grown even longer than the last time she had seen him, and he looked skinnier. She couldn't help but to wrinkle her nose at the sight of him.

"Lily, please talk to me! Did you get any of the letters I sent? Since I stayed at my aunts this summer, I didn't get to see you at all!" he said. Oh yes, Lily had got the letters. She remembered the joy she had had with coming up with new ideas to destroy them. Most of them she burned, but some she actually entertained herself quite alot with, pretending it was Snape and strangeling, stabbing and drowning them. It's amazing how much fun you can have with paper!

"Leave me alone, Snape. I'm not interested in talking to you, not now, not ever. And by the way, it's Evans to you. It's only people I like that gets to call me Lily," she answered, tore her bag out of his steel grip, and escaped into the classroom. She was so focused on getting away from Snape, that she didn't watch where she was going. After taking a few steps, she crashed into something hard.

"Oww! You need to watch where you're going Evans, or you'll make me belive you are bumping into me on purpose!" James Potter said, while giving Lily a heartbreaking smile. Her breathing stopped, and she was sure of that her cheeks were getting flushed with red. James Potter had a pair of deep, hazel brown eyes, that just sucked you in at the moment you make contact. He also had pitch black and messy hair, and a thin and slender face. He was one of the tallest students at Hogwarts, but this didn't make him freakishly skinny. Oh no, James Potter was blessed with being slender no matter how much he ate, and it was not an understatement to say the he was muscular. In other words; he was gorgeous. And the fact that a was the captain of the Griffindor quidditch team, didn't make him any less attractive. Every girl at Hogwarts drooled at the sight of him, and every guy wanted to be him. Well, maybe not everyone; Lily surely didn't have any interest in him, neither did Snape. From the moment Snape and Potter had seen each other, they were bitter enemies.

"Dream on Potter, I wouldn't touch you with a stick, if I had to!" Lily snapped at him. This sentence seemed to amuse him, and a big smile broke out on his face. Lily rolled her eyes, and started to pick up the things that had fallen out of her bag. James also bent down, and helped her. Even though Lily was a bit irritated by him touching her stuff, she didn't object. Suddenly, they both reached out for the last book. As they hands met, Lily could swear that she felt a spark going through her body. James froze, and Lily quickly grabbed her book, and muttered a "thanks" before rushing to class.

Please tell me what you think of this :) Criticism and with kind words are truly welcome! I'm not sure if anybody is interested in reading more of this, but I already have the next chapter ready, so just tell me what you think!

It's no point in continuing posting my story if nobody bothers to read it!
