Chapter One – The Hogwarts Express
Platform 9 and 3/4
As Lily Evans stepped into platform 9 and ¾ her semi- short red hair blowing behind her from the steam coming from the scarlet colored train she spotted one of her best friends Megan Lewis. She had met during their first year at Hogwarts. She had dirty blonde hair that was down to her shoulders and had blue eyes with fair toned skin.
"Megan!" Lily shouted as she walked up to her and hugged her.
"Lily!" Megan replied as they hugged, "How have you been, did you have a good summer?"
"It was ok since Petunia has a new boyfriend and spent most of her time with him away from the house. What about you?"
"It was ok I missed you though. By the way have you seen Alyssa at all yet?" Megan asked.
"No, wait that's her over there isn't it?" Megan said pointing behind Lily.
"Lily, Megan!" there other best friend Alyssa Parker said happily as she hugged her two best friends. She had medium colored brown hair that went down past her shoulders and had chocolate brown eyes also. She had met Lily and Megan at Hogwarts during first year.
"Hey Alyssa, how have you been?" Lily asked as they all hugged.
"Fine, except for the part about not seeing you two and having to spend the whole summer with my 3 annoying brothers and there friends." Alyssa replied.
"Well you have to tell us about it but first let's go and find a place to sit." Lily said.
Hogwarts Express
As they dragged their trunks down the corridor looking for an empty compartment Megan said, "Hey I found one come on."
They all entered the compartment and put their trunks on the luggage racks. Megan had also put Jenny her regular barn owl up there in as well next to a brown and white one, Cathy who was Alyssa's, the other one was a pure white snowy owl that Lily had gotten for Christmas last year named Snow.
"Lily don't you have to be at the perfects' meeting soon?" Megan asked.
"Oh you're right I totally forgot, I'll be back in a while, see you guys then." Lily said getting up and heading toward the perfects' compartment in the front of the train.
Meanwhile James, Sirius, and Remus where looking for a compartment to sit in.
"Everywhere is full and I have to get to the perfects meeting soon so just pick somewhere already." Remus Lupin said, for they had been looking for a place to sit for the past 10 minutes and the train had already started moving.
"Jeez Mooney don't get your knickers in a bundle." Sirius Black replied and finally found a compartment that happened to be the one where Megan and Alyssa were. He smiled and said, "Ok, I found one." He opened the compartment door and said, "Hello ladies do you mind if we sit in here as well." He didn't wait for a reply and walked on in as the others followed.
"Actually we do mind." Megan said glaring at Sirius as he and the others' entered.
"Oh Merlin! I just got rid of you now you are back! I don't deserve this." Alyssa said while throwing her hands up in the air and looking at the ceiling. "What did I do?" she asked to no one.
"Come on Lewis how could you possibly turn down such good company as us fine gentlemen? And Alyssa you know you miss us already!" James said as he put his trunk up on the luggage rack after Sirius had finished putting his up who was now sitting by Alyssa smiling at her.
Before Megan could reply Remus had put his trunk up also and said, "Sorry but everywhere else is full, and I'll see you three later I have to be at the prefects' meeting." After saying that he left the compartment and headed toward the perfects' meeting.
Alyssa had gotten up and sat by Megan after having Sirius hit on her and then said, "Out of all the compartments on this train you had to pick ours?"
"Why I thought you would enjoy having us sit with you." Sirius said
"Yeah right, you are a pain in the ass Black." Alyssa said to him and then said to Megan, "Lily is so going to be pissed off when she gets back here."
"You are right about that." Megan said
"Ah, Evans is also with you?" James asked smirking even bigger than before.
"Yeah she is you annoying prat." Megan snapped at him. "Just don't bother us and we will be fine." Of course that just made them want to annoy the girls more so they continued to bug them.
Perfects' Meeting
Remus had just made it in time to the perfects' meeting and stood next to Lily they had been perfects together since 5th year. He was the only one of the Marauders that Lily could stand.
"Hello Remus did you have a good summer?" Lilly asked
"Yeah it was fine I spent it with James, Sirius, and Kyle how about you?" Remus replied but Lily didn't get to answer because 7th year head girl Leah Johns of Hufflepuff and head boy Stephen Andrews of Gryffindor had both started talking about the duties of being a perfect.
The other perfects there were. Janelle Barns who was in Ravenclaw, Madison Rain who was in Hufflepuff, Anthony Jacobs and Vanessa Clay who were both in Slytherin. All of them were six years also.
Vanessa looked at Lily and whisper to Anthony saying, "Why in the world would they let that dirty little good for nothing mudblood be a perfect?"
"I have no clue but maybe Dumbledore has lost his marbles." Anthony replied both him and Vanessa were some of the people who hung around Lucius Malfoy, Bellatrix Black, Narcissa Black and Severus Snape.
Lily had just glared at them then again started listening too what Leah Johns was saying,
"You will be patrolling the corridors at night you don't have the power to give detentions but you may take away house points but no more than 50 at a time and they must be for reasonable things. If you abuse this you will lose the privilege of being a perfect here are the schedules. If you have any questions feel free too ask us. You can go now but remember to also patrol the train sometimes as well." Leah said
Remus had seen and heard the whole exchange between the two Slytherins and knew that Lily was pissed off a little as she walked out of the compartment were the meeting was held.
The girl's compartment
Back in the compartment were Alyssa, Megan, Sirius, and James were at they had all finally come to a subject about hating the Slytherins were they all agreed. Peter had gone off looking for the lunch trolley and hadn't returned.
"Gosh I hate that whole entire group." Alyssa said
"Yes but who is the worst of them all?" Sirius asked while pointing his finger at her.
"Malfoy of course but they are all evil as well." Alyssa answered
"I agree on that. They are all probably death eaters." Megan said.
"I bet they are…" James said but was cut off as Lily walked into the compartment and started ranting not noticing the guys.
"I hate them you know all those stupid little annoying pricks who think they are better than anyone else, I swear if I ever had the chance I would hex them in an instant." Lily exclaimed
The boys looked at her confused but both Alyssa and Megan just nodded their heads apparently used to this sort of thing. Lily had stopped ranting and started sitting down but yelped and jumped back up when she started to sit on someone.
"Knew you couldn't keep yourself off me Evans." James said while smirking, Lily had sat on him.
"What the hell? I didn't see you there and believe me I can." Lily said and sat down next to Alyssa who was trying very hard not to laugh as well Megan was doing but she was failing, and asked both her friends, "Why are they in here with us?"
"Everywhere else was full or so they say." Megan replied calming herself and glaring at Sirius.
Remus had walked into the compartment shortly after Lily and saw and heard everything. He was smirking while trying to keep himself from laughing. Sirius was doing the same.
"Well that's just great." Lily said sarcastically
"Hi Remus. Long time no see." Alyssa said pleasantly with a small smile as he entered and sat down in the compartment.
Hello Alyssa." Remus replied with a smile as well.
"Ok now how come he gets a nice greeting and we don't?" Sirius asked annoyed and pointed to Remus.
"Because Black unlike yourself Remus is actually nice to us and is civilized." Alyssa said to Sirius.
Sirius just snorted and crossed his arms and Remus just chuckled a little. "I am civilized!" Sirius muttered.
"Yeah we know you're as civilized as a dog." Alyssa said dismissing her conversation with Sirius. "Now who were you ranting about when you came back?" Alyssa said turning side ways to listen to her friend. Lily was sitting in the middle Megan was sitting towards the door and Alyssa next to the window. While Sirius was in the middle Remus by the window and James by the door on the other side but they had more room since Peter wasn't there.
"Vanessa Clay and Anthony Jacobs they are both perfects and they insulted me and Dumbledore." Lily told them.
"What? What did they say?" Megan asked
"Oh they were saying Dumbledore must have lost his mind because he make me a perfect and called me a 'dirty little good for nothing mudblood,'" Lily answered with a look of disgust.
She was trying to make it sound like it hadn't bothered her, not wanting Alyssa to get in trouble because of here. Knowing she did do rather stupid things when other people would say something or do something to her friends.
But Megan, Alyssa, and James knew Lily too well and could she that she was upset. They had all gotten mad but Alyssa was the only one showing it.
"Which one called you that Lily?" Alyssa asked trying to sound casual but had a scowl on her face because she knew what it felt like to be called that for she too was a muggle born unlike Megan who is half-blood.
"Alyssa don't do anything to get your self into trouble." Lily said "Especially because of me."
"Which one? I just want to know… I'm not going to do anything too them." Alyssa said saying the last part as Lily gave her a look, acting like she wouldn't but Megan and Lily knew she would. For Alyssa had gotten into trouble a few times in the past few years with the help of Megan, after having Lily tell them what they did was wrong and everything.
Sirius, James, and Remus were all quiet watching everything knowing the girls had forgotten they were in there.
"Vanessa Clay did ok but don't go and do something wrong that will get you into trouble before we even get to Hogwarts." Lily said all three girls had forgotten that the boys were there. Peter still hadn't come back yet though.
"It's only considered wrong if you get caught, and I'm sorry but I can't let them get away with something like that." Alyssa said and started getting up but Lily and Megan pushed her back down. "Don't worry I won't use my wand." Alyssa said and made another attempt to left the compartment but they again stopped her so she sighed while sitting back down and crossed her arms like a child and then muttered, "at least not until we get to the castle then I can get her with or without magic." All 3 boys looked amused by Alyssa.
"You're impossible you know that?" Lily asked
"Who me? Never." Alyssa said while pointing at herself then waving her hand away, acting as if nothing had happened just moments before.
"You're hot when you get mad Parker!" Sirius said with smirking. Alyssa just turned and glared at him.
"Oi! If looks could kill you would be dead mate." James said to Sirius while laughing.
"Oh we can only wish." Megan said and then leaned over Lily and whispered something to Alyssa and they both looked at the guys then Lily and they both started grinning evilly and Megan got out a piece of parchment and some ink and they both started writing.
The boys looked at them questioning their insanity. Lily rolled her eyes as they started writing something on the parchment. "Lils would you stop moving please your messing us up." Megan said and Lily shook her head back and forth while sighing and switched seats with Megan so they would stop using her lap as a desk.
"What are you two doing?" Sirius finally asked and put his hand out to grab the paper but they slapped it away.
"Back off, Black." Megan said
"Someone's testy." James said while Remus laughed at Megan's expression.
"Oh come on it's been 5 minutes already and I have to know what you two are doing it is driving me insane here. I'm begging you please tell us." Sirius said getting on the ground and begging. Everyone started laughing.
"Jeez alright but we wouldn't tell you three wait there is four of them where did the rat looking one go?" Megan asked. They all looked around and just shrugged
"Why not?" all three boys asked and the girls ignored them
"Hey, Lily promise if we tell you won't get mad and say 'you can't possibly be considering actually doing something like that are you? You will be in a lot of trouble.' Or something like that?" Alyssa asked
"I don't say that!" Lily told them but saw there faces and said, "Ok so maybe I do and I promise." Lily said sighing, knowing she would regret it later.
"Why won't you tell us?" Sirius whined
"Because you will want to take credit for it when you don't deserve it." Megan told them.
"Hey so what if we do I mean we are Mara…." Remus slapped a hand over Sirius's mouth giving him the evil eye James was doing the same.
"The what?" Lily asked while raising an eyebrow
"NOTHING!" the boys said
"Sure it's nothing." Megan said looking at them questioningly.
"Well then tell Remus, you like him." Sirius said.
"We never said we liked Remus." Megan said. Alyssa shook her head at her friend's rudeness.
"That was mean Meg." Alyssa commented
"I'm sorry Remus the queen of dumb didn't mean that what she meant was is that she tolerates you more than the others, while Alyssa and I find your company enjoyable, more than theirs at the least." Lily said to Remus.
Both Alyssa and Megan looked at her confused. "I think your just fine Remus. Don't listen to Megan she's not a people person." Alyssa said to him.
"Ok and thanks I think…" Remus said while the others where amused.
"So what where you going to say Sirius, that you were a what?" Alyssa asked him.
"Arrogant git who needs to get over himself." Megan supplied, all of them chuckled including James and Remus.
"Forget it we better go get changed in to our robes well be there soon." Lily said and all the girls left the room but Alyssa stayed behind and said, "You do anything to our stuff and we will hex you, all of you Marauders. " She said while grinning then left the three boys who where now sitting in shock. They all looked at each other with their mouths open and they jumped as she popped her head back in and said, "Don't worry I won't tell anyone about your little secrets." She said.
"Did she just…" Sirius said.
"Yea she did." Remus said while James nodded.
"We are in trouble!" James said and they all nodded.
Author's Note- Ok so Lily and Megan have no idea about the nickname 'The Marauders' or that they can change into animals. Alyssa on the other hand knows they call themselves that sense the boys spent the whole summer break at her house with her brother Kyle who will be introduced in the next chapter. Kyle isn't an official 'marauder' yet apparently he had to pass some test of theirs to be one of them
