So chapter 2 is up! Please review and tell me what you think!?


Chapter 2:

Lily raised her head as she heard footsteps coming towards them and saw James walking over to her and Sirius.

"Alright you two?" James asked with a smile.

"Defiantly" replied Lily "Now that you two don't smell of sweat and mud" she teased.

"That is the cost of quidditch dear Lily-flower" chuckled Sirius.

"Yeah well you two need to learn to stay clear of me after training until after you have showered" she told them firmly.

"What's the fun in that? We won't get to see you pull faces at our stench" Teased Sirius

She rolled her eyes, "Whatever Black"

"Ohhh!, she used your surname!, It means you're in trouble now" teased James

"Shut up Potter" growled Lily

"Hahaha! She used your surname too" Grinned Sirius

"Yeah but she said it to you first" argued James

"Like that makes a difference?" defended Sirius

"Remind me, why am I friends with you two?"

"Ahh well Lily-flower, we are both incredibly good looking boys, me more so than him" grinned Sirius "and we just have an amazing personality and pure skill for trouble making… oh and we're pretty smart too…" rambled Sirius.

"I'm way hotter than you!" said James elbowing Sirius playfully

"You wish Prongs" he declined

"I am"

"Nope"

"Pad's, you know I am"

"not possible Prongs"

James and Sirius continued like this until Lily had enough, "breakfast?"

"Yeah! I'm starving" Said James

"Me more so than you!" said Sirius getting up and walking over to the portrait hole.

"Not humanly possible Pad's"

"Who ever said I was fully human?" said Sirius looking James in the eye and they both burst out laughing.

"You know, anyone would think that you two are drunken idiots" Said Lily.

"Yeah but you love us for it" smiled James

"Yeah I suppose I do" laughed Lily


When they reached the great hall they headed to the Gryffindor table where they found Remus and Peter who greeted them as they sat down.

"How was quidditch practice ?" asked Peter

"Good, I think we can win against slytherin next week" grinned James.

"You think?, you know so!" cheered Sirius loudly enough so that heads began to turn they're way.

Lily rolled her eyes "Sirius there's no need to be so loud" she said looking at him "But he's right you know" Lily said directing it to James.

"Thanks Lil's, glad you have confidence in us"

"I have confidence in Gryffindor" she smiled and reached for the waffles.


After them all finishing their breakfast and reaching the common room, Lily tried to persuade the boys (manly Sirius and James) into revising for their practice exams next week.

"Fine" said James exasperated "BUT only for an hour"

"AN HOUR!?...Prongs" Sirius sighed.

Lily chuckled and pulled out her wand

"Woah! Don't jinx us!?" They cried

"Accio" she muttered and summoned her revision stuff

"Ohhh" said Peter, whilst she rolled her eyes and patted his shoulder and pocketed her wand.

The others soon followed suit and summoned they're revision stuff.

"James?" Lily asked "What was the spell that conjures the flock of birds"

"Avis" he said simply.

"Thanks" she smiled and scribbled something down on a piece of parchment whilst James just smiled to himself.


After 20 minutes Lily picked up her text book and began reading about animagi. Lily who was not the best at transfiguration was spending most of her time revising for it.

"Lil's are you still on transfiguration?!" James asked "what about the other subjects?"

"I know…Its just I really don't get transfiguration and I get the others so I don't need to spend as much time on it" She rushed.

"What don't you get?" Said Sirius looking at her curiously soon followed by James, Remus and Peter.

Lily who was very smart, only particular struggled in one subject, the thing that stressed her out the most was that the four boys sat with her were brilliant at it and its only Remus and Peter who normally revise.

"Everything!" she moaned placing her book down on the table and running her hand through her hair.

Peter looked over and saw her page on animagi' "Struggling with animagi?" he grinned.

"Hmm" she nodded.

"We can help you with that" said Sirius winking at James.

Lily looked at the boys confussed.

"Lily, it's the only thing they actually went to the library to read about...excluding quidditch of course" He chuckled.

"It happens to be interesting" shrugged James.

"Explain it then" she said looking at them all pleadingly.

"From the basics?" he asked surprised

"Even the basics" she nodded.

"It's simple really, but… An animagus is a witch or wizard who can turn them self's into an animal at will and this….."


That was how they spent the next half an hour, until they were interrupted, listening to James talk about animagus' with the regular annoying inputs from Sirius.

"Morning guys" Smiled Marlene as she sat down with Mary and Alice.

"Wow! Lily managed to get you guys revising?" Alice chuckled, whilst Lily throw a scrap piece of parchment at her, which hit her square in the face. "Thanks Lily" she mumbled.

"So Lily what's got me wondering is that you're out of bed, what's with that?" Mary chuckled knowing that Lily is not one to get up in the mornings.

"Stupid sun in my eyes" she groaned "and then I couldn't get back to sleep"

"Makes sense" Remus said who was also curious as to why Lily was up.

"Guys I'm not that bad!" she protested knowing that they were all surprised she was out of bed.

James chuckled "Yeah you are Lil's"

"Sorry Lily-flower but I have to agree with him on this one" he said smiling innocently.

"Why are you all so mean to me?" she pouted.

"You love us really" smiled Peter.

"Dunno about that" he chuckled.

"of course you do Lily" smiled Alice "Who else would have done your hair for that summer party last year"

Lily smiled at the memory "I suppose so... but that was only you girls…"

"OUCH Lily-flower that hurt me right in the feels" said Sirius offended, "I thought we were friends..?"

She chuckled "Of course we are… what would I do without my girls or you trouble making Marauders?"

"Die a tragic death" said James sarcastically.

They continued gossiping away all the way till lunch when they took some food from the kitchens and headed about by the lake enjoying the sun and each other's company.

After dinner they headed up to the Gryffindor common room, Lily and Remus sat with their text books while the others played exploding snap until 11:00pm at which time they all headed up the stair case to bed.
