A shy, red-haired girl sat quietly reading a copy of 'Truly Tricky
Transfigurations' by Trepan Tossledmore, in an empty compartment on the
Hogwarts express. It wasn't unusual to see this girl by herself. Especially
when she was reading. But she was quite beautiful and her emerald green
eyes made her look like the perfect little Irish Lass. Her name was Lily
Rose Evans. She, like all the others on the train, were headed to Hogwarts
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. For Lily Evans and her friends were all
witches or wizards with very mixed backgrounds. Lily looked up from her
book as the compartment door slid open, and there stood 4 guys, one with
very untidy dark hair and sapphire blue eyes. This one was none other then
James Potter, one of the most popular students at the school. Next to him
was a boy to be about the same look, except his hair was tidy, and fit him
perfectly, but his light gray eyes stood out more then anything. This boy
was James' best friend Sirius Black. Next to Sirius, but also slightly
behind him was a boy slightly taller then the two, with sandy colored hair
and very light blue-green eyes, this was none other then the very elusive
Remus Lupin. Behind Remus, and barely visible was Peter Pettigrew, a short
mousy looking boy, slightly plump with blondish-brown hair and brown eyes.
Nothing seemed to be different about him. He looked and seemed very plain.
These four boys however were known throughout the school as the Marauders.
James, Sirius, and Remus were never seen with out each other. Peter however
wasn't always with them, but today he was. Lily smiled to them.
"To what do I owe the pleasure of the Marauders company?" Lily said
smiling.
"Oh nothing Lily, we just wanted to see if you changed at all. From the
looks of the book in your hand you haven't. Which mind you is a shame. You
need to loosen up and stop reading so much." James said with a smirk.
"For your information James Potter, I enjoy reading. How do you think I
became a prefect? And now I am Head girl, and it's only our 6th year."
"Does this mean that Lily, our bestest girl friend will try to help keep us
from getting detentions?" Sirius asked with a puppy dogface.
"Sirius wipe your true face off... It's not working on me. Go back to your
masked face. And no this doesn't meant that I'm going to keep you out of
detentions."
Sirius gave Lily an odd look, and the other three boys started laughing out
loud at what Lily said to Sirius.
"Why Lily, you didn't think that way the two nights you spent in my room."
Sirius said with an evil smirk. James stared hard at Lily with a shocked
look. It was well known that James Potter practically was head over heals
for Lily, but she seemingly didn't return his feelings. It seemed that she
was more interested in Sirius and Remus then him.
"James knock the face off. Nothing happened between Sirius and myself. He
made his house-elves scare me the two nights I had to stay over there. So I
kicked him out of his bed for two nights, and made him sleep on his own
floor as payback."
"Oh." James still didn't like the idea of Lily being on Sirius' bed, even
though Sirius wasn't in it as well.
