A/N: Hello everyone, I'm Kranberries and I'll be your waitress tonight!
Oh, wait, no I won't, I'll be your stewardess, wait, no that's not right
either, I'll be your ficwriter tonight! There that's it. Anywho, now that
I've gone slightly insane, oh, wait I was already insane… Moving on, this
is my first fic, so try to keep an open mind. I'd appreciate it if you
helped me out every now and then, with reviews. You can even e-mail me, if
you want. My address is Strawberry5213@hotmail.com, if you have any
interest. Now that I've rambled thoroughly, I'll just get on with the fic.
It's about the Marauders and Lily and their friends staring in their first
year and hopefully continuing all the way through.
Toodles!

1.1 Chapter One: Beginnings
"Just-Just leave me alone!" A petite red head yelled. Her green eyes flashed dangerously at her tormentors. "Just because I'm different is no reason to make fun of me!"
"Of course it is." One of them, sneering replied "After all, you're just a geek."
Fury rose in the girl. "Just a geek am I? Well, let's see how geeky I am now!" With that, she socked him in the eye. "Does anyone else want a piece of me? Huh? Come and get it!" The rest of the attackers started to back away slowly, and then they turned tail and run. "Huh. That's what I thought."
The girl, whose name was Lily Evans, put down her fists and began to walk the short distance home. "Why doesn't anyone like me? I mean, it's not like I'm completely horrible, am I? Just because I'm good in school doesn't make me a geek, does it?" she said sadly to herself.
"No, but it appears you are a bit mad, because no sane person talks to themselves."
Lily looked up, startled, "What's that supposed to mean? And who're you?" A tall, black-haired boy with blue eyes so dark they were almost black grinned cheekily down at her.
"Sirius Black, at your service, m'lady." He said, bowing with a flourish. "And that's supposed to mean that you are completely nutters. Not that I'm not, I mean, how can you be sane when your name is Sirius." He added hastily, when she glared at him.
Lily smiled in spite of herself. "'M Lily Evans, nice to meet you. Where'd you come from, anyway?"
"I live next door to you, saw that you were in trouble, and thought I could help, but apparently, you didn't need it. You have one helluva right hook." He replied admiringly.
"Thanks. If you live next door, how come I've never met you before, I mean, you look about my age, so why haven't I seen you in class?"
"I- er- I am home schooled."
"Really? That's so cool! What's it like? I've always wanted to be home schooled, but both my parents work, so they can't. But maybe, if we asked I could be schooled with you! Whadya think?"
"Uh, maybe. But-" Sirius' reply was cut off by an owl that swooped down and dropped a letter onto Lily's head. He gave a sigh of relief, then thought, Good, she's a witch! That makes things much easier.
Lily opened the letter. "I'm a- I'm a witch!" She said incredulously.
"This is great! I'm a wizard, male version of witch, in case you don't know. I'm going to Hogwarts this year, too! We'll have so much fun! I can show you Diagon Alley, my parents are a witch and a wizard. I'm not really home schooled, that's just what they told me to tell muggles, that's non-wizards, so that they don't get suspicious. Anyway, come on let's go to my house and celebrate!"
"Okay" Lily said, dazedly I'm a witch? Well I always knew there was something different about me. She thought as Sirius dragged her off to his house.
"Mum! MUUUUMMMMMM!" Sirius called.
"Hold your horses Sirius! Honestly, you could wake the dead with that below." A tall black haired woman walked into the Black's front parlor. "Oh, hello, who's this?"
"Mum, this is Lily Evans, she lives next door, and she's a witch, isn't that great! She's a muggle-born, so can you help explain to her parents? We can take them to Diagon Alley and get our things! Oh and I can introduce her to all of my friends, she has helluva right hook. So can we go now, huh, huh, can we?"
"Slow down, Sirius! And watch your language, of course I'll help explain it to Lily's parents. Yes, I'll take you to Diagon Alley, it's nice that she's got a heck of a right hook. Pleased to meet you, Lily dear." She said laughing.
"Nice to meet you, too, Mrs. Black." Lily replied shyly, holding out her hand. Mrs. Black took it and shook it heartily. (A/N: Does that make any sense?)
"Shall we go explain it to your parents?"
Lily's parents took the news exceedingly well, considering. They believed what Mrs. Black was saying as soon as she performed a few charms with her wand. The Evanses looked pretty normal, except for being whiter than usual and needing to sit for a while. Petunia Evans, however, did not. She called Lily a freak and then retreated to her room for the rest of the day.
"Of course you can get your school things with the Blacks, Lily." Mrs. Evans said. "I'll give Mrs. Black some money to put in a vault for you to access whenever you need it, okay? Have fun!"
A/N: And so ends the first chapter. Yes, I know it isn't really funny yet, but I promise it will be. The romance probably won't come for a while because they are only eleven, so don't complain about that. The 2nd chapter will come out soon, I'm typing it up now. I don't know how long this will appear, so, I'll just write about the same amount. Tell me if you want it longer!
Toodles!
