Whatever Happens at Hogwarts

Rating: T for language, illegal activites, sexual content, and intense themes. (Although most of this wont come until later... and nothing is going to be revoltingly graphic...)

Summary: I was so tired of trying to find a fan fiction story that had everything I wanted to happen happen, so I just decided to write one myself! This is the story of everything that happens during the Marauder's 6th year at Hogwarts. Trust me, a LOT happens. This story is basically the Harry Potter version of a teenage soap opera!

Disclaimer: I, Bethany, do not own, nor have ever own, in any way, shape, or affiliation, the works of JK Rowling- including but not limited to the characters, creatures, and world of Harry Potter. There are a few things I have made up though, so don't go stealing those!

Chapter One: Back to School

Author's Note: Hey, okay, so this story is actually going to be pretty good, but the first few chapters might be a little slow, just to get things moving, and to get my reader's to understand my interpretation of the characters. Bear with me! Oh, and if you want to send me plot ideas, I'd be happy to work most of them in!

6th Year Gryffindor Boy's Dormitory- 2:30am, September 2nd

"Wait! Everybody, a toast! Yeah, we-we need to make a toast! Jameswhatshould ourtoastbe?" Sirius Black stumbled toward his friend with a half-empty bottle of fire whisky in his right hand. He tripped, and fell forward onto James Potter's bed, laughing.

"Mate, you're smashed!" James laughed, as he hit Sirius in the shoulder, and then stood up, clutching his own bottle. "But agreed, we need to make a toast! Let's drink to making the year the best ever. This is the year we are going to achieve the impossible! Nothing is out of reach for the Marauders! We only have two years left to do some serious damage to this place Sirius, seriously! Ha! Sirius, serious, that is so funny," James took another swig from his bottle and flopped back onto his bed.

"Hear, hear!" shouted Peter Pettigrew, raising his fist into the air before hiccupping.

Remus Lupin laughed at his friends' idiocy, glad he had decided to stay sober. (Who wanted a hangover on the first day of classes?) He folded his arms behind his head and lay back onto the plush red carpet.

It was the first day of their sixth year, and things were already off to a splendid start. After the welcome back feast in the Great Hall they had snuck off back to their dormitory to celebrate their first night back at Hogwarts with whatever Sirius had managed to nick from his mother's liquor cabinet.

"Okay, so what are everyone's new school year resolutions going to be?" Remus asked, jokingly.

James shot up, and declared that he was once and for all going to get Lily Evans to go out with him. Peter mumbled that he was going to pass Herbology, and Sirius showed everyone the list of girls in their year he still hadn't snogged yet.

"What-bout you Mooney?" Sirius slurred.

Remus though for a moment, and then said "I'm just going to have as much fun as possible, and not let my freaking "furry little problem" get in the way of that!" he remarked bitterly.

"Oi, mate, start having fun now!" James tossed Remus his bottle of fire whisky, and then snatched Sirius' for himself.

"Hey, Iwasssn't d-" Sirius started to protest.

"You've had enough," James patted him on the back.

Remus looked down at the bottle in his hands, sighed, threw back his head, and swallowed the small amount that was remaining in the bottle. He was determined to have fun this year even if it killed him!

6th Year Gryffindor Girls Dormitory- 8:45am, September 2nd

Lily Evans looked at herself in the mirror as she smoothed the skirt of her uniform and straightened her shoulders.

"Paisley, are you sure I don't look, um, trampy?" Lily asked her friend nervously.

Paisley was lying on her bed, with her chin resting on her hands, looking at Lily.

"Darling, trust me, you look hot! This is such an improvement from last year!"

Lily looked at herself again. She did have to admit she looked pretty good. She'd shortened her knee-length skirt by about four inches, taken off her tights, traded her flats for heels, and finally bought a fitted sweater, not one she would "grow into." Also, Paisley had straightened her hair to a glossy perfection, and had done something seriously impressive with eyeliner to make Lily's eyes look smoky.

"Yeah, I do, don't I?" she laughed. "Not as good as you though, right?"

Paisley Divens sat up. "Well obviously," she flipped her hair obnoxiously, and then laughed at herself. Paisley's skirt was shorter than Lily's, her sweater was tighter and lower-cut, and her heels were higher. She was a little shorter than Lily, but managed to make up for it by being about two cup sizes bigger. Plus, where Lily was slender and delicate, Paisley was tan and wild. Even though she knew how to fix hair brilliantly, she still left her extremely thick, light brown hair to fall wildly to her waist. She wasn't quite as pretty as Lily, her lips were thinner, her cheekbones weren't as pronounced, and her eyes were duller, but she was fiery. Paisley knew that everyone saw Lily first when they walked into a room, but that within five minutes they would like Paisley more. Everyone except James Potter. That killed her a little.

"So, um, why do you want to look so great this year anyways? I thought you said it didn't matter how you looked," she asked innocently as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

Lily smiled. "I think I'm finally going to give Potter a chance, and I just wanted, to, um, I don't know, make sure he didn't lose interest in the meantime. Am I a horrible person? I know it's not right to dress up for boys," she asked nervously.

"It's fine Lils, c'mon, let's go grab some breakfast!"

Lily smiled, and grabbed her book bag. As the girls walked down to the common room, Paisley though about what Lily had said. It wasn't wrong to dress up for James. He was the reason she did it.
