The Good Ol Days: A Tale of the Hogwarts Marauders
Chapter Three: The 1st Year
Lily sat at breakfast one morning a week after school started talking to Susan and Sara. None of the girls knew where the boys had gone, they had not been seen all morning. Just as the Owl Post arrived, however, all four boys turned up shaking with laughter that they were trying to hide.
" What's so funny, where have you been?" Lily asked curiously
" You will see, watch Snape and Malfoy." Sirius managed to say
Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy had managed to become instant enemies with the Gryffindors, Lily didn't like Malfoy for the way he acted but she didn't see anything wrong with Snape particularly-He had given Lily no reason to dislike him. The boys, on the other hand, had known him before school and didn't like him at all.
Lily, doing as instructed, watched Severus. Just as she looked his direction Snape received a letter from his owl.
" Ooo this is the good part, watch. This is so much cooler than a Howler!" James said
As Snape opened the letter he and Malfoy were wrapped in a huge cloud of smoke, pink smoke, Lily noticed when the smoke dissipated that they no longer wore the traditional black robes, their robes were now bright pink, along with their hair. Everyone in the Great Hall guffawed with laughter as a very embarrassed Malfoy and a lived Snape ran towards the Slytherin Common rooms, both knew quite well who sent the letter.
Sirius, James, Remus, Peter, and the rest of the group were practically rolling on the floor laughing. Lily couldn't help but let a few giggles escape her lips-after all it was awfully funny. Little did they know that that day was the beginning of an endless war between the two groups.
As the months rolled by The Marauders (James, Peter, Remus, and Sirius) with the help of the girls played many tricks on the people of the Slytherin house, and the two groups had grown to positively loathe one another by the beginning of October.
On one particular day two weeks before Halloween, the girls were sitting in front of the common room fire finishing up an essay they had to do for Professor Flitwick on the importance of charms in a wizards every day life. Lily had finished early and was reading a copy of Hogwarts: A History when she heard a tapping on the common room window-she opened it and Cesar dropped a letter in lily's hand and flew off. The letter, to lily's surprise was to her from her mother.
Dearest Lily,
I wanted to inform you that your father and I will be leaving next week to vacation in France, as might guess, we will be gone until early January. This means, dear, that you will have to stay at the school through the Hols. I am really sorry dear, Petunia is staying with her grandmother and requested you stay at home. It is a good thing Cesar found me. I didn't know what to do otherwise. You have quite a strange looking owl dear-green eyes and black feathers. Anyway-I enjoyed your last letter, it seems you are having a good time. We love you dear and we will see you this summer. Be good.
Love,
Mum and Dad
Lily, slightly upset, looked at the letter. " I wonder why Petunia doesn't want to see me."
" What was that Lils?" Sara asked.
" Oh I have to stay here during the hols." Lil said
" Oh, well, don't worry-I am sure someone else will stay. They always do. Sara and I have to go home for that reunion though" Susan said glumly.
Halloween came and went and before anyone knew it the Christmas holidays had come. James was the only other person in Gryffindor that stayed so he and Lily were becoming very good friends.
" So lils, what do you want to do today" James said sitting down beside her on the couch.
" Nothing," she sighed " I am not in the mood"
" What's wrong?"
" Nothing"
" I know something is-I know you better than any of our friends, tell me" he said looking concerned.
" well, I sent Petunia a letter and a gift for christmas right-the gift was a beautiful and expensive doll I found in a catalog from hogsmead one of the older students gave me." She said " And Petunia sends the doll back in shreds and she gives me this note." Lilly exclaims through sobs.
James took the letter and read its contents.
Sister,
I would be grateful if you would just leave me alone. D not give me gifts-they remind me that I have a freak for a sister. I hate you, I don't ever want to talk to you again. As far as I know you are no longer a part of my sister. Leave me alone.
Petunia
" Oh lil, that was a cold letter. Don't worry-she doesn't deserve you if she is going to act that way. You have me, and all the rest of us. We love you." James said as he wrapped her in a hug.
Lily wrapped her arms around him and cried into his chest for hat seemed like hours. James soothed her until her tears stopped and she had fallen asleep with her head still on his shoulder and her arms still wrapped around him tightly. He gently removed her grip from him and laid her on the couch. He got a blanket and covered her with it. Lily was the youngest out of all of the group and James felt the need to be very protective over her. She was so delicate, kind, and sweet, he didn't think it was fair for anyone to hurt her.
After that day lily and James had become the best of friends-they shared everything from relationships (or lack thereof) to favorite foods. The two knew everything about each other.
After the Christmas hols the year went by fast, and before they knew it the 7 friends found themselves on the Hogwarts Express on their way home. They promised to keep in touch over the summer and were all very proud of their achievements of the year.
As they said their goodbyes and went with their parents Lily's mom asked how her year was.
" It was so wonderful, but I missed you dreadfully!" She said as she wrapped her in a bear hug.
Lily looked forward to the summer time-she was excited to see her friends. Oh but what was to come that summer was something nobody would ever have guessed. Lily was about to have the most life changing summer ever, the question was-could she and her friends survive it?
