My One and Only
Reviewers: ¤Fallen Star- Yes, it is easy to fall for a best mate. I'll keep your suggestion in mind with the Muggle friends. That's actually a very good idea! I'm not so sure about a band necessarily; because Lily would have mentioned it as her and James have been best friends for quite some time now.
¤Jillian Ryn- You got your wish! Siri and Remy do find them like that! He he.
¤lilbird- That's kind of the whole point that they act this way. This story is about how they go from best friends, to a couple.
¤Uhu- maybe you're right, there might now have been and Order back then. My thoughts on that is that James and Lily joined the Order because James' parents were in it already.
¤Daffy- No way! The best! Wow! I feel so special. He he.
¤tinkandtoodles- I know! I love James and Lily stories too. He he. That's why I wrote one!
¤Everyone- Thank you for the reviews! I'm so glad you all like it. I admit, I was slightly nervous. Well, I guess you'll be wanting to read the update, so, without further ado.
Chapter Two- Sirius and Remus
~¤~~¤~~¤~~¤~~¤~~¤~
My best friend was truly beautiful! I clicked off the telly and shut my eyes slowly; finally I was getting that nap. All of the sudden I heard someone jump out of the fire and I opened my eyes swiftly.
It was Sirius Black, my very best friend. Sirius had medium length black hair and dark eyes. Him and I, along with our other best friend Remus Lupin, were the heartthrobs at Hogwarts. In mere seconds Rem was standing beside Sirius. He had shaggy brown hair and blue eyes.
"Hey Moony, Padfoot." I said using our Marauder names. That's what we called our group; there were four of us: Sirius, Remus, Peter Pettigrew, and Me. Also known as Prongs, Padfoot, Moony, and Wormtail.
Remus was werewolf, so to keep him company during full moons the others three of us became Animagus. I turned into a stag; Sirius, a dog; Peter into a rat. Hints all the nicknames. We called ourselves The Marauders, known for pranks and causing trouble wherever we go. And trust me, if Lily and her girls had been boys, they would be Marauders too. But they had their own group, The Spirits. The didn't have cool nicknames like us though.
"What're you doing here? You said you had other stuff to do." I said. Sirius shrugged and looked at Lily.
"How long has she been here?" He said, sitting down on the nearest chair.
"A few hours I suppose." The guys, well, everyone was really good about Lily and mine's friendship. They didn't care how close we were. Yes, they thought it was odd and they always made jokes and tried to get us together, but no one ever said anything else about it.
"Petunia, I guess?" Remus enquired.
"Yes." I spoke coldly. Lily shifted in her sleep and mumbled something incoherent. Sirius looked at me strangely.
~¤~~¤~~¤~~¤~~¤~~¤~
I heard voices; Sirius and Remy were there. Then I slowly opened my eyes. Siri was staring at James with an odd look on his face and Remus looked really tired. The full moon was just a few days ago Lily!
None of the boys noticed I was awake until Sirius looked down at me and I smiled. He gave me a cheesy grin. Remus smiled too.
"Hey boys." I said in still sleepy tone.
"Boys! No, no, no dearest Lily, we've turned seventeen! We're of age! Which means we're men!" Sirius said boastfully.
"Talk about conceited." I pretended to mutter, loud enough so they could hear me.
"Now, now, I'm seventeen too. You're just to young to understand." James said brightly. I turned seventeen a month after we returned to Hogwarts, on October 3rd.
I got off the couch, purposefully kneeing James in his 'manly parts' in the process. He gasped and I grinned mischievously.
"Ow." He squeaked. Remus laughed as I headed upstairs to change into better clothes.
I walked into James' room. It was a typically wizard boys room with dark blue walls and quidditch posters hanging everywhere. My bag was on his bed and I carefully chose a khaki mini skirt with cargo pockets, a teal tank top, and a short sleeved, button up, over shirt.
I quickly dressed and pulled my hair into a perfect half ponytail, letting two pieces fall into my face on each side. I made my way to the bathroom and washed my face with a new wizard product I'd found in my last Hogsmeade visit of 6th year. Then I brushed my teeth and headed downstairs.
On the way from the 4th to 3rd floors I saw Melanie Potter carrying towels to the bathroom.
"Lily! How are you? You'll be staying for a long time, yes? Wow! It's so good to see you!" She said as she gave me a huge hug.
"Hi Melanie. I'm fine. I'll be staying for the rest of the summer, if it's alright with you."
"Oh, of course it is, Dear! This is just as much your home as it is Sirius'!" This was saying something, because Sirius had lived with the Potter's during break in 5th and 6th years because he had left his home. This summer he bought a flat all to himself with the help of his Uncle Alphard giving him a few galleons.
"Thank you. Do you need any help?" I asked gesturing to the towels she was still holding.
"No, no! I'm fine! Go along! I'll see you!"
"Bye." I went down the rest of the stairs and slid down the last banister, landing in the living room in front of James, Sirius, and Remus who were talking. They all clapped enthusiastically as I bowed. Sirius stared at me.
"Yes Siri, my breasts have gotten larger. Snap out of it you prat!" I said. He choked and shook himself out of his reverie. James and Remus rolled their eyes; I laughed.
"Sirius Black, you'll never change." I stated.
"Would you want me to Lils'?" He said in a seductive voice as he gave me a hug.
"Is there a right answer to that question, Padfoot?" Remus said with a chuckle.
"I asked Lily, not you." Sirius said in an annoyed voice. James glared at him as Remus gave me a huge hug.
"It's good to see you Lils'." He whispered in my ear.
"You too Remy. How's life" He sighed and shrugged.
"Could be worse, I suppose."
"Hey! Look on the bright side! We could get Celia and the others to come over and we could have a little party!"
"Jeez, you act like this is your house." James commented.
"What? It isn't?" I exclaimed. They all laughed.
"Fine, fine. Let's owl 'em." Sirius got some parchment from the study and we sat down to write letters to our friends. I wrote to Valerie, Alice, Isabella, and Sarah, while Sirius and James owled Frank and Peter. That left Celia to Remus, at his request.
Soon we were waiting impatiently by the fire for our friends to show up. Suddenly, it turned green and Celia Greenfield walked out. Celia is about my height with short, dark brown hair and big brown eyes. She hugged everyone, ending at Remus.
"I especially liked your letter Remy." She whispered, handed the note to me and kissed Remus hello. James and Sirius whistled at them as I laughed.
'Celia Greenfield,
Get your fine arse over to the Potter Place because I miss you.
-Remus'
"Nice Rem, nice." I said, patting him on the shoulder. The fire turned green again and there was Valerie McPherson, my best friend. She was tall and had waist long blonde hair and pretty gray eyes. We both shrieked and hugged.
"Okay, Lily. Stop! Get off my girl, I wanna piece." Sirius said as he stole Val into a passionate kiss.
"Jeez! Siri, Val! Get a room would you!" Came a playful voice from behind me, I turned around to face Sarah Matthews. She had changed her appearance since the last time I saw her. Now she had maroonish colored hair and was wearing a black mini skirt, a black shirt was fish net sleeves and the boots she had on made her about two inches taller than me. She still had the same almost lavender eyes.
"Wow!" Is all I managed to say before Isabella McCabe hopped out of the fire and right behind her came Peter Pettigrew.
Isabella had long black hair and blue eyes, while Peter was a blonde hair, watery blue-eyed boy. The boys attacked the 4th Marauder and right away started planning a prank.
After less than five minutes Frank Longbottom and Alice Thomson arrived. They had been dating since 5th year. Sirius and Val had only gotten together the last week of 6th year, and Celia and Remus had been a couple since the beginning of it.
"I say we have too many couples in this group of ours." I stated. Everyone shrugged and the girls continued to hug their last Spirit.
"Okay, so what're we gonna do?" James asked looking at me.
"Well."
