This is my first attempt at a fanfic. I am a huge fan of L/J stories and I figured why not try and make my own. Please don't be too hard on me. After all this is just a beginning, feel free to give constructive criticism, please don't flame me-I would be forced to laugh at you if you do.
Some people have pointed out to me that my spelling of Lilly's name is incorrect. I will fix that. Thank you to all those people who reviewed my other story.
Disclaimer: All characters that you recognize in this story do not and will never belong to me-they are the creations on the one and only J.K. Rowling. All other characters are mine-she can have them if she wants them.
Read, Review, and enjoy my first attempt at a fanfic.
The Good Ol Days: A Tale of the Hogwarts Marauders
Chapter Two: Diagon Alley Adventures and the new year
Lily was awaken early the next morning by two smiling faces.
"Rise and Shine Lil!" Sirius said.
" We have a big day in Diagon alley today. Aren't you excited?" James exclaimed
Lily, not extremely happy about being awoken at 5 in the morning by two over energized boys was slightly reluctant to get out of bed.
" I can't very well get dressed with you two in here! Shoo-get out." Lily laughed.
As soon as Lily dressed and walked downstairs into the kitchen Orion, Sirius, and James greeted her smiling.
"You kids eat up, we have a nice long day in Diagon Alley ahead of us. Lots of things to get." Orion stated

Diagon Alley proved to be a beautiful place, as Lily had expected. She returned to the Black's residence with the knowledge that her great-grandmother had been a witch and had left Lily quite a fair amount of money in a vault of her own. She had also gotten a beautiful Owl named Cesar who had glistening black fur and emerald green eyes, much like her own. After her long day, Lily was extremely tired and had absolutely no trouble falling asleep that night.
The next few weeks flew by quite quickly and before Lily knew it she Sirius and James were on their way to Hogwarts aboard the Hogwarts express. Lily was amazed by the new world opened before her eyes and had already memorized her school books. She decided that between all the houses she would want to be in either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, but since Sirius and James wanted Gryffindor, Lily wanted to be in Gryffindor much more.
While the three students sat in their compartment playing exploding snap, a tall, sandy-brown haired boy with greyish eyes and good looks walked into their compartment.
" May I sit in here. All the other compartments are dreadfully full." The boy said.
" Sure," said Lily " I am Lily Evans, these two are James Potter and Sirius Black" She said pointing them out in turn.
" Hello, I am Remus, Remus Lupin" the boy said.
" Well Remus," Sirius grinned kindly " make yourself at home, we don't bite."
( A/N: I am not really interested in putting the sorting and all those nitpicky details that aren't important into the story so lets skip ahead untill the first day of school shall we?)
Lily woke up early the next morning remembering how She, James, Sirius, Remus, a boy named Peter Pettigrew, and two twins named Sara and Susan McKinnon were all placed in Gryffindor. The McKinnon twins were quite lively, down to earth people and they too had a hand for mischief. Both had Raven hair and Sky blue eyes. Susan however had shoulder leingth hair and was slightly tom-boyish while Sara had waist leingth hair and was by far not tom-boyish at all. All of the first years in Gryffindor became close friends fast, and every one of them knew that they would always be good friends.
