Hey guys. I thought I'd try my hand at Harry Potter. There will be a poll at the bottom, so submit you're request with you're review.
Disclaimer: Forgot this last time. If I was JK Rowling and I had thought up such a wonderful series, it would focus on James and Lily, not their idiot son. I don't own, can you tell?

Chapter II — Delay
"Prongs, today's a holiday!" Padfoot exclaimed as he jumped out of bed, throwing on a pair of pants and a t-shirt underneath his robes. James rubbed his eyes before putting the charm his mother had taught him on them so that he didn't have to wear glasses. "Moony, Wormtail, come on!"
"Padfoot, slow down!" Remus exclaimed as Sirius bounded out of the room. James went to shower and Peter left to ask Sirius something, leaving Remus alone. Remus pulled a picture out of his trunk and looked at it. It was of him, Lily, Ama, and Jenn when they were little, when they were still friends. Remus tucked it away and stood up, his heart sad that the friendship was gone and replaced with hostility.
OOO
"Lily, make Amarante stop bouncing." Requested a tired Jennifer. Amarante looked at her and stuck her tongue out. She did, however, stop bouncing on the bed and started to dig through Lily's trunk at the end of her bed. Lily shot out of bed and slapped Ama's hand away, Ama giving out a shriek of pain.
"What the Hell was that for, Lily!" She called out, nursing her hand that was now sore. "Got something you're hiding?" She asked, Jenn's interest mounting as she got out of her bed and padded across the hardwood.
"What?" Lily asked before suddenly protesting, "No!" She shouted, a blush creeping up to her cheeks. "No. Summer was like a usual summer with Petunia, Mum, and Dad." She said more calmly, the flush disappearing from her cheeks.
"Oh." Jenn said, turning away and grabbing a towel and clothes. "I'm showering, you two. Lils, you get it next." She stated before turning away and walking to the bathroom. Lily stood up, made her bed, and found robes and clothes as she waited for Jenn to come out. Ama had gotten up early, like usual, and showered before waking up her roommates. "You can have it, Lils. I'll wait. I can see Amarante wasn't able to control her hunger." She chuckled as she observed Lily, who was surrounded by air, Ama not in sight. Lily showered quickly, and dressed, hurrying out to the Common Room to meet Jenn so they could go to breakfast.
They entered the Great Hall five minutes later, where Dumbledore was talking to the students already assembled. "Unfortunately, classes will not start until next Monday. Stay in groups of at least four, and make sure someone knows where you are." He finished and food appeared on plates. The students began to chat again and Lily and Jenn made there way over to Ama, who was sitting near the back of the room. She had grabbed some pancakes and was chewing the remains quickly.
"Did you hear the start of Dumbledore's announcement?" She asked, swallowing her last bite. "Death Eaters attacked the school a few days before we got here. Classes are delayed until Dementors get here to guard the school. He said that is probably next week!" She exclaimed, grabbing some more pancakes as Lily and Jenn seated themselves and took a serving.
"That's good that classes aren't starting." Jenn told them quietly. "If I were Dumbledore, I would have sent us home." The blonde admitted and Lily nodded.
"It isn't safe here, not for us, or the first years that have no magic training." She told Ama, who looked as if she didn't care, as long as class was postponed.
"Yeah, but we have seven days to explore the school, guys. Seven days of freedom could find us a few passageways and maybe a way to Hogsmeade!" She exclaimed, and Lily looked at her.
"As Head Girl I don't think that—" Jenn rolled her eyes as Lily began, followed by a long, loud sigh from Ama. "Guys!"
"No, I think you mean girls, Evans." Sirius said, easing himself into a chair beside Lily.
"What do you want, Black?" Ama spat and James sat across from him, Remus beside him.
"Someone to go for a walk with. We're supposed to go in groups, and Peter left to hang out with Hannah Perry. Dumbledore said groups are four or more." He added, trying to sound knowledgeable.
"No. I'd rather kiss Snape." Declared Ama, while Jenn glanced at Remus.
"I'll go." She volunteered, Ama's head shooting up in surprise. "Jenn!" Her and Lily exclaimed. "You can't!" Lily exclaimed.
"And why is that, Evans?" James asked, looking up at her, connecting his brown eyes to her green ones. He lifted his hand up to his shaggy black hair to mess it up, which Lily watched distastefully.
"Because, she…she…because!" Lily shouted, exasperated. She grabbed Jenn and Ama's hands and dragged them away from the three boys.
