They took Floo pouder to Diagon Alley, and when they fell into a large cozy looking bar

Remus's Mother said "Remus, look at your supply list and go find the stores by yourself,

or do you want my help?''

''I'll be fine Mom, I'll be fine.''

Then he turned around and went out the door, then he stared, the first sight that met him was a seemingly

endless row of shops. He looked down at his list and it said:

Remus started down the alley and scanned the shops, there was one called Muggle Bookshop that

he noted to go to later. He was paticularly fond of a series called Three Rings and was on the

11th book. Then he reached the schoolbooks store and walked inside, there were barly any people inside,

he supposed it was a bit late to go school shopping. He got his books and went to pay for them, with a book

called Hogwarts, a History for background reading. As he was walking out he saw a beutiful girl with light-brown

hair reaching her butt, and she had clear black eyes. She looked about 13, and about 5'1, and was thin

with pale skin and slight circles under her eyes. She was aurguing with a tall and unpleasent looking

man, he was starting to yell, as she was, causing people to stare. Remus caught bits of thier conversation.

"Tom, you CAN'T do that! I HAVE my OWN rights to do what I want, GOT IT!!!??"

"You will do as I say, girl, and you'll do it KINDLY!"

" You can't control my life JERK!"

Just then a tall and thin boy (about 5''3) with messy jet black hair and blue eyes covered with oval-shaped

glasses jumped in front of the girl. Just in time to recive the hard punch the father threw at his daughter.

The boy flew backwards and his glasses flew off his nose, and slammed into a shelf shattering.

"JAMES, oh GOD JAMES!" she screamed, racing towards him. She collapsed next to him saying it over and over.

"BOY!" his father roared, racing towards the two of them. Before Remus knew what he was doing he yelled 'STOP'.

Everyone stared at him, even James, and his face grew red. "You can't treat you're kids like that, its abusive!"

"Get out of this little boy" The man yelled.

" He's right, I'm calling the police, meanwhile...STUPFEY!"a man with black hair yelled from the corner.

Then the man knocked out right to the floor, and the guy went to call the police. The young boy got up from the floor with help from his sister.

"Hullo, I am James Potter" he said with a mischevous grin and stuck out his hand.

The girl smiled and said "And I'm Marecela(mare-ce-la) Potter."

He smilled softly and said "Hello. I am Remus Lupin"

Just then the man came back and he had a young black haried boy with him.

"I've called the police and they are coming."the man said.

"Thank you so much sir." James said "And he isn't our real Father. He is our step-father, our real Dad died when we were 5,

our Mum isn't well, she is at St. Mungos being treated for..." he choked off the last sentance.

"Crutius Curse, she had it done one to many times" Marecela finished, softly, and with tears in her eyes.

"Oh, I am sorry" the boy said, his black eyes sympathetic.

"I am Juleos Black and this is my son Sirius Black." said the boy's father, aubertly switching the subject.

"Hello, I am Remus Lupin, and they are James and Marecela Potter." said Remus, speaking for the first time.

"Nice to meet you. Now James, Marecela you'll be staying at the Leaky Cauldron for the rest of the week.

Okay?"

"Yes, it is fine." Marecela said with a kind grin.

"Perfect, thank you so much Mr. Black." said James.

"Remus, would you like to stay with them?"

"Sure sir, thanks! Er... but I'll have to ask my Mother." Remus exitedly.

"That is okay, Remus" Juleo said kindly.

"Can I stay to?!" Sirius said, anixously.

"Of course, but we need to go. All of you need to meet back here at 5:00PM, okay?"

"Yes"

"Right"

"Mmm"

They all left the store and started towards the wand shop.

"Um, Remus" said James.

"Yes?"

"Thank You."

Remus turned red agian "Your welcome."

When they walked in a creepy man greeted them, and said "Ah...so who shall go first?"

They all turned away, except Marecela, who said bravely "I shall."

"Good" the guy muttered.

"Unicorn hair and Phoenix feather, 12 inches, springy,holly wood"

She treid it and it worked instantly. Bright red and gold sparks erupted out of it.

Everyone cheered, and James told him that he'd go next.

A whole huge pile was made before "Mahgonany, eleven inches, pliable, exellent for transfiguration."

James treid it and the sparks erupted out of it agian. Once Sirius and Remus got there wands they left the

store. Then they went to the robes store. Siruis's robes were completly black, James's

were black and the cloaks were red and gold, Remus got black with tan cloaks, Marecela got

black and silver with a dark blue winter cloak and a red and gold cloak.

"Aren't they wonderful?!" Marcela gushed happily.

Along with the required stuff she got a few long sleeved and short sleaved shirts, a dress, two skirts,

three jeans, and shoes. Remus got some cloths, all nuetrul colors, James got red, gold, and black. Sirius's were of course

black and white.

"Ugh, lets not do that agian" all three boys moaned in usion.

Marecela giggled and went ahead to buy them all vanilla ice cream cone. They took a seat by the lake to

eat them.

"Soooo, lets play Truth" said Sirius.

"I'll go first" said Remus "Ok, all of you, what year are you in?"

"1st"

"1st"

"1st"

"Cool, so am I"

"Me,me,me!" said Marecela "Remus, what are your favirote, um I'll start with colors"

"Tan, brown, and blue"

"Sirius?"

"Black, duh"

"James, tell them yours."

"Red, and gold."

"Mine are blue, green ,and black. My favirote food is Mac&Cheese. What are yours?"

"Pizza" they all said.

They all laughed and Sirius added ice cream on the list.

"What are all of you're parent's name's?" Sirius asked.

"Percey Orios, Orion Potter, and Leslie Morett" James replied.

"Purtel Isacc, and Horoe Lupin."

"Cool, mine are Juleos Black and Foprado Rithre."

"What!?" snorted Remus. Then grew red. "Oh, sorry."

"Thats ok"Siruis said, grinning "its Fo-pra-doh Rhih-e."

"What are you're orgins?" asked Remus "Mine are British and American."

"American, British, Dutch, German, Eygptian, and Italin." said Marecela.

"Italin and American" said Sirius, then he grinned and said "So now my lack of British accent is explained!"

"What are your favirote animals?" asked James, while laughing. "I like deers and cats."

"Dogs"

"Wolves" Remus glanced at Marcela in suprise.

"Cats"

"Er, we should get going." Sirius said "It is almost 3:00, and we still need to get our other supplies."

So they went and got thier supplies, and they all got owls. Then they all went to a Qudditch shop and bought

a new broom, James also bought almost every 'dang' book in the shop as Sirius put it.

Remus insisted on them stopping at the Muggle book store, so they went. Suprisingly they all bought at least 5

books, Sirius even bought one on Motercycles and Cars. Remus had to go back and ask his Mom if he could stay, and

she said he could so they all went to the Leaky Cauldron and when thaey got there a man named Tom ccme up.

"Hello, you must be the guests that are coming. Boys you will be rooming with Peter Pettigrew."

A timid, fat, short (4'7) looking boy that looked about 9 came over to them. He had watery dull muddy colered

eyes and slimy mousy brown hair.

"Hello, I am Peter." he spat out timidly.

"Sirius Black" Sirius said this rather rudly, he couldn't explain it but there was just something wierd about Peter.

"James Potter" said James kindly.

Peter bowed, and James looked shocked but pleased.

"Marecela Potter" said Marecela uncomferably. This time Peter kissed her hand, as he turned purple.

"Remus Lupin" Remus muttered, who had almost the same reaction as Sirius.

"Marcela, you'll be with Lily Evans, Alicia Uirte, and Arabella Figg." said Tom, then he yelled "Girls come down here, please!"

In the doorway appeared a black haired girl who had pink streaks in it (and it reached her thighs), was slightly chubby, short (4'6),

and had brown-green eyes, behind her a tall (5'4), thin girl, with spring green hair that reached her shoulder blades and neon purple eyes.

The last girl entered she was also tall (5'1) and thin, she was more filled out than the other two, had light brown hair

and it reached her mid-back, brillant green eyes, and glasses.

The girl with green hair walked over and said " Hi, I'm Arbella, who're you?"

"Sirius Black"

"Remus Lupin"

"Marecela Potter"

"James Potter"

"Good day, I'm Lily" said the girl with light brown hair.

"Alicia" said the last one bluntly.

"Well, now I will show you all to your rooms" Tom said "Marecela, follow Lily, boys, follow me.

They walked up a steep staircase, Remus was just about to collapse when "We're here."

They walked into a huge room and they all collapsed in thier beds and fell asleep right away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~At 3:00 AM~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Remus heard muffled crying when he woke, so he walked downstairs and saw Marecela sitting on a couch

crying.

"Marecela, are you ok?" he asked softly.

"Remus?"

"Yes?"

"Come here, I need to tell you someting, but please don't say anything to anyone else."

"Ok"

Remus sat next to her and she started her story.

"When I was a small girl -5 I should say- James and I were inside with our parents,then they heard a knock at our door

and Dad answered it. We heard a voice say 'Avada Kedavra' and my Mom screamed, so

then James grabed me and drug me behind the couch, and Voldemort came racing in. He used the Cruitais curse

on our Mum over and over. Then we heard the Ministry coming, so he disapperated.

We came out and when I saw our Mum, I fainted, and evidentaly, so did James. We wook up

in the hospital wing at Hogwarts and Dumbledore told us what had happened. So there we were, and our

Mum was well when we turned 7, and she fell in love with Tom. Then Voldemort got ahold of her and did it agian,

so we were stuck with Tom until today. Now we will have to LIVE at Hogwarts." Marecela's body shook

with sobs agian. Remus hugged her and slowly rocked her back and forth.

"Shh, its OK, mabye my Mum will let you stay some of the summer."

"That would be fun, but I really do just want her to get better!"

"She will, it just takes time, Marecela, time." he said softly.

"Remus, what is it about you, you're hiding something."

Remus's body stiffend and he said "No there isn't."

"You can tell me, please tell me."

"I said there wasn't" he replied as paitently as possible.

"Ok, Remus. You can tell me when your ready."

They said there goodnights and went up the stairs.

(A/N The next part is in Lily's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~9:00AM~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I wook up I felt the sun beating agianst my bed, I rolled over and lay there for a few precious moments, thinking about school.

Then I hopped up and pulled on a black tee-shirt, blue jeans, and sandels. I washed my face, put lotion on, brushed my teeth,

and brushed my fluffy hair. I went downstairs and sat down at the table next to Arabella and James.

" 'Ood 'Orning" said James with his mouth full.

Lily laughed and said "Pig!"

"Morning, Lily" Sirius and Remus said from across the table.

"How're you?" she asked.

"Great." choursed the table.

Laughing they all got back to there breakfeasts.

When they got done they went outside and Lily spotted a Poster and she yelled "Hey, you guys look!"

It read:

"Lets do it!" said James happily.

"Sure!"came the huge reply.

"We can sing and play insturments!" Lily said.

"I'll play drums and sing" said Sirius.

"I'll play electric guitar and sing." James yelled.

"Cymbals and electric guitar" Arabella replied.

"Sing" Alicia said.

"Sing" said Marcela

"I'll sing."Lily offered.

"Er...that Exisher thingy that makes wierd noises?"

"Perfect!" said Lily.

"We will call ourselves the Marauders!" Sirius said.

"Here, lets go buy the supplies."

They walked into a Muggle music store and bought all the stuff they needed, while Lily made

the music. She sang it for them and they all made the music to go with it for thier insturment.

Then they went to a clothing store, Sirius bought a pair of black boots, black belt, black ripped shirt, leather jacket,

black headband, and a gold and silver necklace.

James bought a black shirt, black pants, black boots, silver belt, and gold neclace, then he bought a ripped up jean jacket.

Peter got everything in black and he got a silver necklace with a white belt.

She had a huge, long silver necklace and a gold belt.

Marecela bought a tight tank top that was orange with a short skirt to go with it,

her belt was yellow, and she had 20 braclets to go on each arm.

Araella had a tube top and leather pants, then she wore a blue beltand light jacket.

Lily wore a long sleeved green shirt and a pair of black pleather pants, then she wore a camoflauge

belt. To top it off she added neon lipstick that changed diffrent colors and used a simple spell so she could see for 48 hours.

They brought it all back to thier hotel and went to practice.

They played through it a few times, as it sounded great they decided to

try out the next day, so when they wook up feeling nervous, they went. They

thought they did great but, they'd have to wait.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~9/28~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"WE GOT IN!" Lily screeched.

They all started cheering, and decided to celebrate over ice cream. It became the 29th to quickly.

When they got up on the stage they preformed there best and got 3rd place out of 20 other groups.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~9/31~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They all got to the train station and borded succesfully, but the trouble started when James and Sirius pulled a prank

on a young boy with greasy hair. Marecela and Lily were laughing like crazy, but they 4 were the only ones.

We'll just jump right to the feast.

Sirius sauntered up there and jambed the hat on his head.
