(A/N: This is very short I know.... but it's just a prolouge; so its probably gonna be one of the shortest chapters... Sorry about how long it took to get out. We had some technical difficulties (BIG WORDS... WOAH) in E-mail between me and my beta reader... and i couldn't send it to her. R/R please! I want to know what you think! And Ideas are always great to give.... i have the mail plot; BUT small things on the way are always a good thing to share. Flames are welcome (I guess) and this is really getting long so i'll stop here!)

Disclaimer: I own nothing except Marinda; Claire, and Annie. And the plot!

"LILY!" Came a scream from downstairs. It was the unmistakable voice of Petunia Evans. Something odd was obviously going on downstairs; for Petunia never talks with her sister. Petunia is the tall one in the family. She is about 5'9" and has long flowing beautiful blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. But that's the only thing beautiful about her. She has twice the amount of neck as any other person and her face resembles that of a horse.

A sixteen year old Lily ran downstairs hearing her sisters holler. "What do you want?" Lily asked. Her hair was up in a ponytail. Or at least as much of it as she could get, considering her fiery red hair reached just above her shoulders and her emerald green eyes were sparkling. She had a small round face and was about 5'6".

"Vernon is going to be here soon..." Petunia said. "Can't you go to one of your er... friends house or something... just get out of the house...?" she pleaded.

"But Petty dear. Isn't he coming to meet the family?" Lily said imitating what Petunia had said the day prior to Mr. and Mrs. Evans.

"Yes, but the NORMAL family. He doesn't even know you exist. You wont be missed."

"She's missed other places" Came a voice from the fire place. Standing there was a 16 year old James Potter. James was as handsome as ever. He had untamable jet black hair; Dark brown eyes and was about 5'10" or 11.

Lily looked at James for a second until it registered that he was there and she wasn't just dreaming. "JAMES!" She squealed and ran up to him her arms wrapping around him for a hug. James pecked Lily's lips with his own and Lily turned back to Petunia. "You might want to set an extra spot at the table for James tonight too." She grinned.

Just then Mrs. Evans walked into the living room and looked around. "Oh, Hello James" She smiled. Mr. and Mrs. Evans had always been very fond of James. "When did you arrive?" She asked.

"Just seconds ago..." James smiled back, putting on the act he always did for adults.

"You will stay for dinner, wont you?" She asked.

"Why thank you Mrs. Evans, that would be nice." James smiled as Lily struggled to keep from cracking up. She always has trouble not laughing when James was talking to her parents; he was always so polite. Just as James finished, Petunia stormed out of the room in a fit of anger.

"Mum, me and James are going to go upstairs. Call when us when dinners ready, alright?" Lily asked.

Mrs. Evans nodded. "Alright dear." She said as Lily and James ran upstairs into Lily's room.

"Sorry about Petty, she's having her boyfriend over for dinner too. And about the mess." Lily apologized while taking one quick look around her room.

"Its alright, and mess?" James asked examining her room. "If this is a mess, it has been a long time since you've been in my room..." James said looking around. He had been in Lily's room thousands of times before, but was always fascinated by all her muggle items. The two of them sat on Lily's bed. "So... how's your summer been?" Lily asked.

"Lonely, I've missed you." James said placing a single kiss on Lily's lips.

"What about Sirius and Remus? Don't they live less than a block away?"

"Well yeah, but Remus is in Armania and Sirius is always at Mara's house. And you KNOW I wouldn't want to go there and disturb them." James joked. "And plus I could be surrounded by people and still be lonely without you."
