I tried to be original, but since I haven't read too many Lily and
James stories, I didn't realize that this wasn't that new of a topic until
I told my friend about it and she told me that it was kind of old. Well,
hope you like it!

Ch. 1 Breakfast Adventures
Lily sighed. She had been sleeping so well, why did she have to wake up?! She struggled out of bed and got ready for school. She was ecstatic to finally be back at Hogwarts, but there were some things that she wasn't that fond of. For instance: that git, James. It was almost as though his complete life's objective was to annoy the hell out of her, and he did quite a good job at it as well. His friends were nearly as bad, but not Remus. He seemed to actually have a brain somewhere within the depths of his head, and sometimes it even showed. It had been just the day before, as soon as they had arrived at Hogwarts, and James was just about to start harassing Severus Snape, when Remus told him that maybe it wasn't such a good idea. Lily figured that it was just because there were so many people around and they would almost certainly get caught and punished, but she still admired it. Remus seemed to always be rescuing James and the rest of the Marauders (as they called themselves) from trouble. She was sure that if it wasn't for him, they all would have been expelled ages ago. She headed downstairs and into the Common Room when, speak of the Devil, appeared James. "Hello Lily, and how are you this morning?" asked James, turning around and following Lily, who had managed to dodge around him and head towards the portrait hole. She quickened her pace but soon, realizing that it was of no use, slowed down and answered James. "Fine, thank you." she stated curtly. "What, you don't want to know how I am?" said James, putting on a mock- offended voice. Lily didn't answer, but continued to walk. James decided not to wait for a reply, but continued on. "I'm doing fabulous. Don't you just love Hogwarts? It's always full of surprises; you never know what's coming up next. Take the moving staircases for instance. You could be just about to set your foot down on one of the stairs, and then it decides to move, and you go plunging downward through the gap to your death." He let out a dramatic gasp here. "Don't you agree?" Yes, but, do you mind? I'd like to go eat breakfast with my friends." she said coldly. By this time they had entered the Dining Hall, and it was obvious that she would like to get away from James as soon as possible. Right about then Remus jumped up and ran towards them. "He's really not that bad," Lily thought, and then quickly pushed the thought out of her head, realizing what she was thinking. "Hello, Lily," he said. "Hello," Lily replied, and, noticing the silence, said, "Excuse me. I was just about to go sit down." James watched Remus as he gazed wistfully at Lily. Was it his imagination, or was he checking her out? "So, what's up, Moony?" James said, breaking Remus' trance. "Oh, I was just coming over to tell you that Sirius and Peter are acting a little weird, so be careful," he said, glancing quickly at Lily. "Thanks" replied James, and went over to where Sirius was talking to a pretty 7th year. Her name was Mary Halkes, and she was very high-class, guy wise. Some even claimed she was part veela, but James didn't think so; he had never been enchanted by her, although it did seem to have that effect on other men. As soon as he walked up to the table he could hear Sirius going on about the time he had saved the Quidditch game when he had rescued the Quaffle from the hands of a grimy Slytherin and, as he had been falling off of his broom, managed to make it into one of the hoops. (He failed to mention the point that James had won the game.) And Peter stared transfixed at her, and it looked as though he was never going to be able to stop. On the other hand, Remus sat eating his fried tomatoes and toast as though nothing unusual was happening to Sirius or Peter, and James decided to follow his lead.
Lily sat down in between her two best friends, Sally Laindy and Candy Brooks. They continued to stare behind her for a few moments and then turned around, looked at each other, and started to giggle. "What?" said Lily. "Well, it looks like James isn't the only one of the Marauders who likes you!" said Sally quietly. "Yeah, you should have seen the way Remus was staring at you!" said Candy. Lily turned red but didn't reply. She didn't like to talk about this type of thing in public, especially about James Potter, and now, his friends; that's why they were being so quite. "I swear, if I had either of those guys after me, I would go crazy! I am just so jealous!" Candy exclaimed, a little bit louder than she should have. "Shhh! We'll talk about this later!" Lily said, getting a little angry. Sally and Candy sighed, but they didn't say anything about it the rest of breakfast. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ WELL?!!! How was it?!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE review!!! I really need that boost for the FanFiction part of my self-esteem (And ego). I know that its pretty boring right now, but I PROMISE that it will get spicier later!
