They are going to get through their first year in this chapter, because I think it is kinda hard to write in the perspective of younger people…(and because no crushes are taking place right now, and they won't until the end of 2nd of during 3rd year…)

"Like who?" said a voice from behind them.

Lily and Sarah whipped around and saw three smirking boys standing there behind them, James, Remus, and Peter, (Sirius was obviously still in the kitchen eating.)

"What are you doing here?" Lily spat out at them.

"We could ask you the same question," replied James.

"Yeah, well, I asked first, so answer."

"So? I asked second, now why are you out here?" asked James.

"Why would it matter to you?" asked Sarah.

"Mecouf un mbff," answered Sirius, walking up behind them, his mouth full of food.

"Come again?" said Sarah, looking rather annoyed.

"I said," said Sirius, swallowing his food, "Because he said."

"What does that have to do with anything?" asked Lily.

"Him saying something?" asked Remus.

"Who? James or Sirius?" asked a now confused Lily.

"No, Remus just asked, not James or Sirius," Put in Sarah, adding to the confusion.

"I didn't mean now," cried Lily, "I meant before."

"Before what?" asked Peter.

"I don't know! I can't remember!" yelled an exasperated Lily.

"What can't you remember?" asked James; rather amused by the state the girls were currently in.

"What it was before," Said Lily.

"What what was before?" asked Peter.

"I don't know!" said Lily, trying to sort her mind out.

"So you don't know what the something was that was before another something, that you also don't know what it is?" asked Sirius with a grin, "Are you even sure it was before? Maybe it was actually afterwards."

Lily was about to reply but she was cutoff by Remus, who had been looking around, board with the conversation."

"Uh-oh."

"Huh?" asked five very confused people.

"We have trouble?" said a very worried Remus.

"What do you mean?" asked a suddenly solemn James.

"Look," Said Remus pointing over their shoulders. They turned around just in time to see a tail disappear. It was obviously Miss Bennett, Argus Flich's kitten known throughout the school as his personal spy. (In less then a year she would have a romance with a certain tomcat, renaming herself Mrs. Norris.)

It was if someone had fired a gun starting a race. Everybody took off running through the corridors, trying to find the quickest way out Flich's way. James was struck with an idea. He slowed almost to a stop, and started trying to pull open some draperies.

"What are you doing?" Asked an exasperated Lily.

"Well I figured," said James, darting in and out of the draperies, "That we have to go through draperies to get to the Gryffindor Common Room, and I doubt that all of the Founding Fathers and Founding Mothers were as creative as we would like them to have been, and so there must be some other hidden passageways in this school hidden behind draperies."

(A/N Is that an actual term (Founding Mothers)? Moreover, does the term Founding Fathers only apply to the writers of the American Constitution? (Around that time anyway?))

Sirius suddenly put on a wide grin as he stepped through the draperies to the secret passageway that James had found. "You know what?"

"What" asked Sarah with a groan, hoping that it wasn't another one of Sirius' lame jokes.

"If all of us try as hard as we can, we can probably find more secret passageways in this school, then even Filch won't be able to find us," Said Sirius, the smile never leaving his face. "We could be able to rule the school!"

"Yes, Your Worship," Said Sarah with a hint of sarcasm.

"For some strange reason, I doubt I'm getting all the respect I deserve."

"And what respect is it that you deserve?" asked James with a grin.

"All respect of course," Said Sirius, "I should have a parade held in my honor, or a month dedicated to me," (In his mind a day named after him wasn't anything special, he wanted a month, not a year, because they come and go, but months happen every year.) "Or," continued Sirius, " I should get a star named after me…"

Before they knew it Christmas Break was upon them, and it was time to go home, and the planning of the exploring the castle had been put on hold for a while. Lily received many wondrous things, including magical items from Sarah, but no present from any of the boys, but then again, she hadn't sent them one either. Lily and Petunia spent the entire vacation catching up on gossip, and Lily showing Petunia some of the magic she had learned. Sirius was the only one that had stayed back at the castle, and that was because his relatives were coming to visit at his house, and his cousins were to afraid of him and his pranks so he couldn't come home, but he received many presents from his family, and had fun terrorizing the grounds alone. They all arrived back at school on January 4th literally with a bang. James and Remus had added dungbombs to the pile of coal in the engine room, and charmed the whistle so that whenever it was blown, Filibuster Fireworks were set off. (They had some left over after the trip and let them of during dinner that night.)

James returned from break with a huge smile on his face. He had found out that it was actually possible to balance your mother's best china on your head without it falling off, but only for three seconds, and when you get done doing that, you get grounded for three years.

Soon after they all arrived back from the break, they were forced to start studying for year-end-exams. Lily had excelled in Charms, and was second in her class to a Ravenclaw. James was leading the class in Transfiguration, a position he would hold the whole seven years at Hogwarts. Remus was second in Transfiguration, and would spend his seven years at Hogwarts desperately trying to beat James. Sirius got third in Defense Against the Dark Arts. None of them came close at potions, except Sarah who had strangely taken first in that class. They all helped each other study, even Sirius, even though he spent most of his time trying to find the secret passages that had promised to give him a month named after him.

The rest of the year flew by and before they knew it, the End of Year feast was there and trunks were packed. The halls were filled with seventh years crying over their last year at Hogwarts. The sixth years were also suddenly realizing that they only had one year left at Hogwarts, and they wanted to make it last forever. The first years thought that those years were miles off, and they were, but the years would seem to melt away before their eyes.

The winner of the House Championships for the most House points was Ravenclaw. The Transfiguration professor seemed to give out points every time somebody got the right answer, and Ravenclaws were known for excelling in that area. The Slytherins had won the Quidditch Cup, a position that they had held for years because of the Captain, Michael McHonly, who was the best Chaser Hogwarts had ever seen. He was a sixth year so he had one more year left of leading the team, but his younger brother, Edward was a first year, and was training to follow in his older brother's footsteps.

The next day the students loaded up onto the Hogwarts express, and headed home.

"Bye Lily!" yelled the four future marauders in perfect unison, "Bye Sarah!"

Both of the girls waved good-bye to the boys, as they were in the middle of their own good-bye.

"And I promise I will owl every single day," said Sarah as she was being pulled away by her older brother, "And you have to come visit me this summer!"

"I'll try and convince my mom to let me go, okay?" Lily yelled back, as she was ushered into a waiting taxi by her mother.

"How was your year, sweetie?" her mum asked her, "Did you have a good time?"

"Yeah," Lily said with a breath of excitement, "It was wonderful. Hogwarts isn't just a school! It's a castle! We got to have Potions in the Dungeons and Astronomy in the highest tower! Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures are outside, and next year we get to go into the Forbidden Forest for Defensive Against the Dark Arts! I don't think anybody is stupid enough to go in there alone. Well, maybe some of the professors, but they are trained. And this sum-"

"That's enough dear," Lily's mum said, "You don't need to get it all out in one breath.

"Sorry," said Lily still glowing from the train ride. She looked up to the front seat, and saw the taxi driver giving her weird looks. She stuck out her tongue, and turned back to her mum. "Where's Dad and Petunia?"

"Well, Dad went to pick Petunia up at her train, and they weren't back by the time that I had to leave, but I'm sure they'll meet us at home, dear," her mum said.

"Okay, then," replied Lily, as they pulled into their driveway. "Mum?"

"Yes, dear?"

"Can I go over to one of my friend's house this summer."

"We'll see sweetie."

"Okay, Mum."

Okay next chapter is summer. Anyway, please review.
