Lily and James first year with changes!

What if the prophecy was told years earlier, in the marauder time, perhaps? what if it reffered to someone from that period, rather than Harry. What if it reffered to someone we already know about. What if it's a someones

2. Chapter 2

"So..." said James Potter into the awkward silence of the compartment, "Does anyone like pranks?" Lily Evans looked up, a twinkle entering her eyes as she eagerly said,

"love them, why? Are you a prankster?" Everyone in the compartment looked up, bar Snape, an unmistakable twinkle of mischief in their eyes.

"What about you Snivelllous?" said James to the sulking boy.

"Don't call him that," said Lily, although she barely supressed a smile.

But newly named "Snivellous" looked up a James in disgust, "Shut it Potter, anyway, I have better things to do with my time than pull pranks!"

"In other words," said James Potter, not helping the tension that was building in the compartment, "you're to wimpy to prank people."

Sirius let out a bark of laughter at this comment, and Lily looked torn between laughing and hitting the boys. Being Lily Evans, she chose the latter, and whacked the boys, who were sitting on either side of her, on the arms,

"Be nice" the girl said cheerfully, but with an unmistakable threat in her voice.

"Yes Lily" said the boys meekly,

"So, what house do you guys want to get into?" said James Potter casually

"I don't really mind," said Lily Evans, "they all sound really cool."

"You're going to Slytherin for sure," said Snape cheerfully, "It is the greatest of the Hogwarts houses after all."

"No it's not," said four affronted boys,

"Gryffindor is obviously the best." said Remus Lupin, "Slytherin is where most dark wizards come from!"

"My whole family was in Slytherin." said Sirius glumly.

"And I thought you were alright!" said James Potter cheerfully

A twinkle entered the boy's eyes as he said, "Perhaps I'll break the tradition," Lily Evans grinned and said kindly,

"I'm sure it doesn't really matter what house you're in, even if your in Slytherin, we can all stay friends." the boy looked at her in disbelief but didn't comment. "Anyway" she said cheerfully,"It's time to get changed, I'm already in my uniform so I'll wait outside while you guys get changed." She casually left the compartment, leaving the boys to get changed.
