DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately i do not own Harry Potter.

Crocodiles In Sewers

"ARGH!" shouted 17-year-old Lily Evans in frustration. She flipped her dark red-straight-shoulder-length hair from her face and looked up. She just had one of those annoying dreams she usually had. In this one she had tonight she died because of a kiss from a dementor. Most of her dreams were too far-fetched. Some were like her going out with James Potter. He was the person she had hated from second year but she unbelievably accepted to be his friend last year. Just because she did accept to be his friend doesn't mean that she would go out with him.

'Maybe you would' said the irritating voice from the back of her head.

'Oh shut up' replied Lily annoyed. She got up from her bed and looked out of her enormous window. It was extremely early as there was just a dim light outside. She decided to have snack and left her room. She went into the kitchen just to find her snob sister. Lily's father was a very wealthy man. He bought Lily and Petunia whatever they wanted. Petunia was Lily's sister. Petunia did not consider Lily as a normal person. Well no one would because she was a witch unlike Petunia which made her extremely jealous. Lily's mother died when Lily was just 8 years old. But Lily didn't care because she never really liked her mother that much as she was never at home or at home talking in her cell phone.

"If it isn't my freak sister…" said Petunia taking a sip of milk from her cup. "How are the freaks at your freak school?"

"Is this one of my far-fetched dreams or is my dear snob sister concerned about someone else other than that fat-slab-of-flesh Vernon?" replied Lily with a mock surprised voice.

"How dare you! You dare insu-"

"Did I do something wrong?...I mean I just told the truth" Lily grinned at her sister as Petunia tried to retort but failed miserably. "Take your time Petunia" said Lily and left the kitchen with a few bars of chocolate. Lily loved chocolate. She went into her room and jumped onto her couch. It was red, as red as her hair. She picked up the letters that were scattered on the ground. One of them was the letter informing her about her school equipments. Some were from her best friends Jade Murdock and Anna Stryker. And of course there were letters from others like James Potter. He practically sends a letter a week literally telling every moment of his life to Lily. 'Its fun to read his letters you know…..some things are funny..' she thought.

'O'course it's from James why wont you like it?' asked the voice behind her head.

'I do not like him'

'Yes you do…you just hate to admit it'

'whatever' retorted Lily to the voice and started eating the chocolates absentmindedly. She would be starting her last and final seventh year at Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry on September first which was just 3 hours away. She was practically jumping up and down all day. She couldn't wait to see her friends again. She missed it so much. She was even starting to miss Peeves! To add to all her excitement she was made Head Girl!

She fell asleep fantasizing her last year at Hogwarts. Little did she know that a few miles away James Potter was thinking about the same thing….

The marauders or rather three of the marauders walked down the station. The 'Marauders' were James Potter a 17 year old, about 6' foot tall, messy black haired boy, Quidditch Captain, Head boy this year who was also considered one of Hogwarts' most cute guys; Sirius Black a 17 year old with a little longer hair than James which had a few strands falling elegantly onto his forehead, just an inch shorter than James, beater for the Gryffindor Quidditch team and is know as Hogwarts #1 Hottie; and there was Remus Lupin a 17 year old with sandy blonde hair, a little shorter than Sirius, a very secretive secret that he is a werewolf, Prefect and is also one of Hogwarts' cute guys. The marauder who was missing was Peter Pettigrew who had whitish blonde hair and was not taller than 5'9.

James and Sirius were looking pretty sulky. They had just had an argument about a muggle article. It was an article from the magazine 'For The Dum and Dummer'. It was about crocodiles being found in sewers.

"For the sake of Merlin tell me what the hell happened this morning!" cried Remus for the umpteenth time.

"Okay Okay! ...don't shout like that Moony you give me the creeps" said James grinning at Remus. The Marauders had nick names for each other. James was Prongs because his animagus form was a stag, Sirius was Padfoot because his animagus form was a big black dog, Moony was Remus because he was a werewolf and Peter was Wormtail because his animagus form was a rat. To help their friend, thinking that Remus' transformations would be less irritating for him, James, Sirius and Peter became illegal Animagi.

"Okay Prongsie tell him what happened. Im still moaning over my old broom" said Sirius glaring at James.

"Okay…ummm it all started when---

(Flashback)

"Prongs check this out" said Sirius to James who was busy packing his trunk. It was just about 5 hours left for September 1st and James was just trying to pack.

"What?" asked James and went to where Sirius was sitting with his favourite magazine 'For The Dum And Dummer'.

"'Crocodiles Found In Sewers' don't you think they might be right under us now!" said Sirius.

(Flashback cuts)

----"Don tell me you believed that!" cut in Remus.

"Can you Let me finish "said James. "Anyways—

(Flashback continues)

"Are you really as stupid as you look?" said James

"Excuse me, but you are talking to Hogwarts' #1 Hottie!" retorted Sirius.

"Yeah whatever"

"Okay anyway…I am sure that there are crocodiles in YOUR sewer right now! Because I happen to believe every word in this article"

"No there are no crocodiles in our sewer! If you believe this crap you must be totally dum!"

"It is true!'

"Is not!"

"Is To!"

---"

(Flashback cuts)

"Hey wait just a minute ...where was I when this wonderful discussion was going on?" interrupted Remus.

"In the toilet sleeping I guess" said James shuddering. "Okay—

(Flashback continues)

"I'll prove to you that all this nonsense" said James and stormed out of the room.

After what seemed like an hour James returned with what looked like a stinking broomstick in his hand.

"HAHAHA! Prongs what's that in your hand?" asked Sirius in between his laughs.

"Err…Padfoot…umm…this…is your broomstick" said James. Sirius stopped laughing instantly.

"What?"

"Umm…I kinda used your broomstick…as it was the first thing I could find…to err…dig my sewer…" trailed off James

"NO! That was my favourite broomstick!" Sirius jumped out of his chair and pounced on James and started punching him everywhere.

"I know and I'm so sorry" begged James. "I'll tell dad to send a new one for you"

Sirius stopped and looked at James. "A Nimbus? I mean like yours"

"Anything you want"

"Okay but this doesn't mean that I'm not angry with you"

(End of Flashback)

"That was such a lame argument" said Remus grinning. "Though it's a shame about your broomstick" he said patting Sirius on the back grinning even wider.

"But now I get a Nimbus! It was worth losing the stupid shooting star…right Prongs?" asked Sirius looking at James "I think its time we called a truce"

"Ah! Pads I knew that you couldn't live without me" said James grinning.

"Nah I felt sorry for you mate" patting James on his back. "What will you do without me?"

James just rolled his eyes. He simply scanned the crowd for his favourite red head. It was like a habit for him to scan the crowd for her. 'there she is' he thought looking at a girl standing near the heads compartment. 'I cant wait to see the look on her face when she finds out I'm Head Boy'

"Remus don't you think its time we go to the heads' compartment?" said James.

"Aye-Aye Head Boy" said Remus. Both the boys told their goodbyes to Sirius and went towards the compartment.
