Thank you for everyone that has reviewed this story! I thought that I was going to leave this story because I didn't like where it was going but i've changed my mind after some unexpected reviews! First though, I'm just going through and reviewing some of the chapters...but don't worry none of the characters or anything major has been changed at this point! So thank-you to all reviewers and expect some new chapters coming up in a couple of days! (most likely relating to why I rated this M : P)
Disclaimer: I own none of the H.P characters….
Lily felt the train jerk underneath her feet as it slowly began to pick up speed as the train moved away from the station, the scarlet engine slowly leaving the famous platform 9 and 3 quarters for what would be her last time.Lily felt good - her last year of Hogwarts … meaning not only a year away from Petunia but moving out and in fact away forever! Well not from her parents but definitely shudder Petunia, and her disturbingly largestomach and fat husband ….. Dursley…
Thinking of those two gave Lily bad thoughts as she tried to move up the train with her hand luggage.
It had already beena gigantic mess at the stationand the train ride had just started… having almost have left late for the 7th year in a row Lily had arrived to find that the infamous 'Mauraudes' had jinxed the doors to barracked themselves every time a Slytherin tried to get in unfortunatley for Lily though things only seemed to get worse when some of the cocky ones like Severus Snape had tried to remove the curse only to find a droooping jinx thrown back in their faces and angry mobs of Slytherins starting battles of all proportions.
...Lets just say Lucius Malfoy was not looking too fine for the moment. Lily had seen him storming down the front of the train with McNair looking murderous, and despite the confusion and trouble on her behalf, Lily had to admit it was a rather good joke, even if James had organized it………
The Maruaders were known as legends at Hogwarts and it seemed like everyone …even past students spoke their names with pride. Originally they had tried to remain somewhat anonymous but by the end of the Christmas break the testosterone had started pumping through their teenage bodies and they'd almost started publicising themselves….James it seemed more than anyone else. Of course Lily had always known it was them despite their dismissive attitude in class James, Sirius and Remus would have been the only ones in First Grade to have ever been able to pull off such stunts…
With what was then a scrawny (now rather inflated) Peter acting as their distraction…
Lily had never liked their enormous egos and unlike what seemed the rest of the First Graders felt no need to fuel them with praise and admiration …which was really why she adopted her rule abiding stance. As a muggle she'd never been a great leader but as time went on it was apparent that it was the easiest way to deal with them. Really, she did find their plans somewhat ingenious, always thinking of something completely new and original, and not once had they failed in making the school crack up in hysterics ….even McGonagall …though she tried to hide was always chuckling under her breath.
To the school they'd never presented an image of bullies more as just troublemakers, no boy was regarded as a leader more than another. Lily hade often seen them plotting away in the common room, and she didn't even want to think how many times she'd caught them roaming the corridors at night each boy interchanging as the mastermind. James Potter had wide hazel eyes, always flickering and planning constantly full of laughter and mischief farely tall, rigorous Qudditch training had moulded a nice physique and you could often see a tiny hint of muscle quivering under the black robes…..much to the enjoyment of his fan clubs. His smirk a constant around lily and a slight lift of the eyebrows made girls just melt in his presence not to mention his wind swept hair always at odd ends.
Of course not to be out done Sirius was deemed as gorgeous too. Maybe a few cenitmeters taller than James Sirius made girls jump, similar in personatity to James Sirius was generally the life of the party. Slightly more shaggier than James he had grey, smouldering eyes and row of perfect whites that he took not hesitation in flashing to anyone of interest
More considerate and less daring was Remus Lupin, Lily had shared the prefect position with him for the last couple of years and would no doubt be enjoying his company again this year as head boy. While Lupin didn't play Quidditch he was by no means less popular probably knowing most girls on a more personal level he never liked to linger too long in relationships. Not that Girls minded he had sandy blonde hair and his manner made girls flock…. Not quite as many as James and Sirius but still quite a few
Last and probably the most insignificant Peter made up the group usually the deploy or distraction in the famous pranks Peter spent most of the year in the hospital wing reaping the punishment from the Slytherins who were unable to catch James, Sirius and Lupin. Quite scrawny for awhile Peter had gathered quite a lot of extra weight over the holidays and was now not only short but quite fat. Never having much luck with the ladies Peter usually got dates for Hogesmade on account of girls trying to get to the other three but nevertheless they needed him.
Lily was thrown back into reality by a loud scream, she hurried along the corridor as she wanted to make it the head's compartment. Not that she would ever admit it to anyone Lily was stoked that she had gotten Head Girl but underneath it all really nervous it was so much work and she just hoped whoever was her other half was good!
Reaching her usual compartment she shoved her head in the door her soft red curls rolling down her back…
"Hey Hannah, Dais, Zoe, Chelsea, I gotta go can u put these on the rack I'll be back later"
She said as she pushed her bags in to the apartment winked before turning on her heels and heading away
Lily couldn't help laughing when she heard Daisy yelling after her down the carriage…"Well hello to you to sunshine!"
Daisy and Lily were best friends along with the other girls they all shared a dormitory up in Gryffindor and they'd always been close.
Jumping over baggage sprawled in various positions down the carriage Lily finally approached the sauce of commontion…none other than James and Sirius's obsessive fan club. Lily was truly amazed… it seemed the girls had broken their record…taking only a mere 3 minutes to find James and Sirius and become glued to their sides for the rest of the year…
Pushing her way through some girls Lily spotted a tuff of unmistakable hair belonging to Sirius Black rising above the masses of girls as they all erupted in fits of giggles…. Lily just shook her head and felt rather nauseous
Emerging in front of what seemed like a mini mosh pit Lily found Sirius leaning cockily against the carriage door chatting away. Opening her mouth to let looser her pre train frustration Lily was delayed as an arm grabbed her from behind, she whipped around to see the smiling face of Alice Carvet a sweet girl from Ravenclaw smiling at her
"Hey Lily!"
"Oh hey Alice! " she smiled, "I'm sorry I'd love to chat but as you can see I nee to sort this out and get up to the heads compartment" she continued in what she assumed was a rather flustered tone of voice.
"Oh sure we'll chat later then!" she smiled sympathetically knowing all to well what Lily was like.
Lily loved Alice a sweet Ravenclaw girl who had been at the same muggle school as Lily before they went to Hogwarts. She was dating another Gryffindor Frank Longbottom and were officially known as the 'long term' couple at Hogwarts.
Lily pushed her way to the front her face beginning to tinge pink as her anger started to rise. There was really no need to block up the ENTIRE corridor ….just so they could be drooled at…
'Lillykins' exclaimed Black flashing a grin her way, "Did you miss me?"
Lily was ready to retort back when she glanced around noticing a lack of sidekick next to Sirius.
'Wh..Where's Potter?' Lily said slightly shocked
Jam..Potter had always loved this sort of attention… scruffing up his hair and receiving longing looks from the desperate wannabies.
"Ah" sighed Black wiggling his eyebrows slightly
"Coming back from the holidays with a keen interest I note?"
"I see you've finally fallen for my boy James and about high time too!" the girls around Sirius snapped their attention to Lily some smiling and waving other just glaring at her new presence.
Ever since Lily had gained James' attention the jealous looks she got each day had increased.
"The count I think stands at what? 239 now?" smirked Black winking at a petit blonde in the process.
Lily just rolled her eyes…
Last year much to her disgust Remus and Black had made an official James asking Lily out counter and had hung it above the fireplace in the common room. No one could take it down and they'd bewitched it so that every time he asked her out it would automatically know…. Black had called it her own personal House points counter…
Sirius grinned knowingly…waiting for her to get even more riled up…. Lily had gone spare when she had seen it and not even McGonagall had been able to remove the gigantic thing
much to her dismay …
What seemed even more strange was that McGonagall hadn't even punished them for it instead she just huffed about complaining that her time had been wasted and that if Lily really wanted it gone than she should just go on a date with the boy!
Lily just glared at Sirius as the chatter and yelling started up again but just as she was about to re instate her campaign to clear the hallway she nearly jumped as she felt a pair of hands slide on to her hips slightly firm a warm breath travelled down her neck as the unmistakable voice of James Potter whispered quietly
'Looking for me?'
Lily's whole body shivered as his breath touched her ears and she felt the weight of a body press up against her back everyone of her senses was alive as he held her tight.
Lily swung her body round so that she could FINALLY let loose some of her anger only to find looking straight into the eyes of James Potter
She stood there for a few moments shocked to be seeing him so close to her.
He winked nodding towards the other girls who by now had turned back to Sirius and were yet to notice James and whispered
"I've missed you but I better take off before they notice I'm here' he whispered refering to the groupies around Sirius."
" I think I'll be seeing u round' he mused just as lily heard one of the girls yell"
"omg James is here"
Lily felt the unmistakable feeling of eyes watching her as the group of giddy girls diverted their attention from an annoyed Sirius as James sensing sudden attention moved away from Lily and tipping a pretend top hat, winked and walked away from the group.
Lily pulling her self back to the reality tinged a little bit pinker despite the persistent voice in her head reminding her of who he was…
Crossing her arms she went to yell at him and tell him off and that sexually harassing her wouldn't be accepted this year but it was too late and he was gone off down the corridor instead she took her frustration out on everybody else
"What is this! You're blocking up the whole entire train!...Everyone back to their compartments and Sirius Black enough language" she yelled as the crowd which by this point had grown to include more than just the girls started to disperse.
Storming off in the direction of her heads cabin Lily's head was crowded…she didn't even know why she was so angry … it was only the train journey and she was already riled up!
Lily finally made it to the end of the train and stopped dead in her tracks as she slid open the door saw none other than that mess of hair that had been following her round for the last couple of years. Staring for a couple of seconds something dawned on her and she found herself gaping as it truly hit her……she would be working with JAMES POTTER!
With his back to her James had begun to pull of his White Polo his khaki pants hanging loosely round his hips lily saw that he had been playing Quidditch in the holidays and a tan line appeared at the top of his pants. Trying not to stare lily pulled her head away but out of the corner of her eye watched his toned back stretch as he pulled it over his head. Lily did have to admit that despite his personality flaws (and they were big ones) that James was by the far the most attractive guy at Hogwarts. Well depending on your type Sirius was up there to. His muscles in the back defined flexing slightly
Lily finally got a grip on her self and coughed just as James pulled the robe over his head … making his hair if possible even MORE scruffier.
'James!' she warned, 'I think that now would be a good time to ….GET THE HELL OUT OF MY COMPARTMENT!'
Trying to think of at least some wild explanation of why he could be in here Lily adopted her angry stance putting her hands on her hips.
"Tut Lily" James scolded smirking as he fixed up his robes, "That much anger isn't healthy"
Lily sighed and flung herself in a chair
"I cannot believe this!" she whinged banging her hands down on the plush red couch.
"Please James I can't handle jokes now… if that badge is truly Lupin's then give it back now I'm really just not in the mood"
"Ahhh no tis' a tragedy Dumbeldore has officially gone off his rocker…hence me wearing this rather lovely badge" offering it to her to examine
Tossing it back to him Lily found herself sitting grumpily on the armchair after ten minutes of silence. Mainly just pissed off at having to spend a whole year of fucking James Potter whistling jeering and asking her out let alone having to share a common room
She closed her eyes and opened them to see a tanned hand stretched out in front of her peering up Lily scolded herself inwardly again for looking at him
She was meant to be pissed off…what the hell.. no! She was pissed off
"Come on, in case you've forgotten we're meant to be running a prefects meeting…." He smiled at her
'Fuck off Potter!' she snarled.
Inwardly kicking herself she pushed past him in a feeble attempt to discard the shivers he'd just sent running down her spine..
Unfortunately this didn't really work as she brushed his warm skin...
The other chapters will be edited soon and some new chapters up within a few days!
