A/N: Hey everybody! Here's the third chapter. Please R&R - I always want to
hear what you think. Is it possible to get my reviews sent to me in an
email, like they used to before? I don't know if this should be a love/hate
story between L/J. Tell me what I should do!
Anyways, enjoy!

PS - I'm going to try to make my chapters longer!

The Marauders and Friends at Hogwarts
Chapter three: The first day, and a new friend.
*******
'GRYFFINDOR!' the hat bellowed. Lily slowly took off the hat and placed it back on the stool, before she headed to the Gryffindor table. 'Well, that was weird', she thought to herself. 'I can't believe the hat said I had enough power to be in Slytherin. Thank god I'm a muggle-born.'
As Lily sat down next to Sirius, Feiden, Jesse was sorted into Hufflepuff. 'Ooohhh! I'm so hungry,' Sirius groaned to Lily and Jessica. 'When do we get to eat?'
'The sorting ceremony isn't even halfway done yet!' Jessica said to him. 'Just a little bit longer, don't worry.'
Professor McGonagall had just called out Harris, Paul. Soon Remus and the people who were on the boat with Lily, Frank Longbottom and Samara Lach, were going to be sorted. Remus's face was green.
'Hutkins, Arielle!' Professor McGonagall's voice rang throughout the hall as she called out. Thirty seconds later, Arielle was placed in Ravenclaw.
'Lach, Samara!' Samara went to the stool and put the hat on. After 20 seconds, she was placed in Gryffindor.
'Longbottom, Frank!' Frank went slowly up to the chair, and, after a minute or two, became a Gryffindor also.
'Lupin, Remus!' She said. Remus walked up to the stool and sat down. Suddenly, the green color in his face went away. He nodded vigorously, smiled, and then the hat roared 'GRYFFINDOR!'
'Woah,' Remus said, coming to sit down. 'I'm glad that's over with! Where's the grub?'
'Boys,' Jessica muttered under her breath.
The M's and N's passed along. Andrea McOrlean was placed in Ravenclaw, and Martin, Alexandra, was placed in Hufflepuff.
Michael Osher was the only child who's last name began with 'O,' and then Pettigrew, Peter, came up to the stool.
After jamming the hat on his head, Peter plopped down on the stool, and sat impatiently, kicking his legs around. A few moments later, he was placed into Gryffindor.
Some other people were sorted, and then 'Potter, James' was called to the stool. The hat lay on his head for some time, unable to come to a decision. Everyone was waiting eagerly, and finally, the hat hollered with enormous strength, 'GRYFFINDOR!'
As James came to sit next to Lily, she heard him mutter under his breath 'Phew!'
Some other people were sorted and called (Snape, Severus was put in Slytherin) and then Dumbeldore stood up, tapping on his glass.
'Welcome, welcome, to another year at Hogwarts. I know that most of you are probably starving, so, here are a few words: yappyyorlanda, shgigalyshammoo, and Pock. Enjoy the feast!'
'Yummmm!' Sirius cried as the food appeared right before his eyes. 'I can't believe that we're all together in the same house! This years going to be brilliant; I'm going to try and set a record for most detentions a kid could have from pranks! Wanna try with me, Jamsie?'
'Sure,' James replied. 'I can't wait till we pull some over the teachers!'
The feast continued, and the six children became very close. Two hours later, Professor Dumbeldore stood up once again to speak.
'Well, now that you're all content and full, there are some very important notices that I must share with all of you. First off, no student is allowed into the forbidden forest. There are many dangerous things lurking around, and it is my responsibility to insure your safety. Secondly, though the Quidditch house teams are for second years and older, the first years will be able to have Quidditch games with their friends on the weekends. If you would like to get some of your housemates and classmates together to play on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, please reserve the pitch with Madam Hooch.
Finally, the school caretaker, Mr. Filch, has renewed the rule list for the school. If you are interested in seeing all 1387 rules, you may check with him on your own time. That is all, have a good sleep!'
With that, everyone started making their way towards the doors.
'Gryffindor first years, follow me,' a red-headed teenage-boy said. 'My name is Arthur Weasley, and I am a prefect! I'll show you the way to Gryffindor tower!' James, Lily, Sirius, Peter, Remus, and Jessica all followed the crowd of new Gryffindors through the great hall and up the stairs, towards the tower.
'This place is so big!' Lily said in awe. 'I reckon I won't be able to find my way around tomorrow!'
'Yeah, and the staircases switch places too, whenever they want!' Sirius said. 'Tomorrow, these stairs could lead us to the opposite side of the school!'
'Oh dear,' Lily sighed.
The six walked and walked some more until their group came to a halt, in front of a portrait of a fat lady in a pink dress.
'Hungarian Horntail,' the older boy named Arthur said. The portrait swung forward on hinges and revealed a hole in the wall. 'That's the new password; you say it to get into the common room,' he explained.
One by one, all the new Gryffindors climbed into the hole in the wall. Out of the six friends, Lily went first.
'Wow!' she said under her breath. She had never seen a room like this before. Huge red tapestries hung on the walls; a fire was roaring in the fireplace. Over the fireplace, a lion was painted on a red flag. The word GRYFFINDOR was painted near it in gold.
'I'm really tired, I think I'm gonna go hit the sack.' Jessica said, yawning halfway through. 'You comin, Lil'?'
'Yeah, sure... See you boys tomorrow!'
'Bye!' All the boys replied in unison.
****
When Jessica and Lily arrived to their room, they found their trunks in front of their bed, and their pajamas were laid out.
'Hi, I'm Samara,' a girl said to them. 'I'll be sharing this dorm with you. It's nice to meet you.' She was a very pretty girl, with straight, light brown hair and dark green eyes. 'What are your names?'
'Hi, I'm Jessica and this is Lily.' They both shook hands with Samara and then the three of them got into their pajamas. Both Lily and Samara weren't tired, so they stayed up for another hour talking while Jessica and the other roommates slept.
'So, what do you think about Sirius Black?' Samara asked Lily.
'What do you mean?'
'Well, don't you think he's hot? I think he's gorgeous!'
'Yeah, I guess.' Lily wasn't actually thinking of Sirius, but another messy- haired boy.
'Yawn... Well I'm tired, I think I'm going to go to sleep. Goodnight!' Samara said.
'G'night.'
****************
'Double potions first period! With the Slytherins! Ugh...' James said at breakfast. They had just gotten their timetables and were all looking at their schedules. James, Sirius, Lily, Remus, Peter, Jess, and Samara were all sitting at the end of the Gryffindor table. Lily and Jess had really taken to liking Samara and then introduced her to the boys. They also thought she was nice and, she fit in perfectly.
'Well, we better be off. We don't want to be late,' said Remus.
The seven of them headed down to the dungeons, getting lost every couple of minutes. When they finally found the potions class, they all sat down in the back. Their teacher walked in shortly after.
'Hello, my name is Professor Karls. I will be teaching you potions this year. I expect you all to pay the utmost attention during my class, as even the slightest fault can make a potion have a different effect. I don't believe in any slacking off. If you strive to do the best and work your hardest, you might be able to brew any type of potion for any type of use. Now, copy down these ingredients and directions for preparing a Horrormayte potion. A Horrormayte potion will turn you into the thing that you are most afraid of. When you are done copying these instructions down, you may get into groups of two or three and make the potion. Then you can try them out. Be careful not to add too many beetle eyes though, because just a few more than needed can turn your potion into an antidote for boils.'
Everyone started copying down the instructions as Prof. Karls wrote them on the board. Then, everyone paired up and began to work on their potion. James was with Sirius, Remus was with Peter, and Jessica, Lily, and Samara worked together. After the class was done making their potions, each child went up to the front of the class in alphabetical order, took a sip of their potion, and turned into the thing they most feared.
Jessica went first. Standing in front of the class, she drank out of a phial filled with a brown, murky potion. At once she turned into a mummified corpse and started walking stiffly around the room. Some people started to scream. Twenty seconds later she turned back into a normal Jessica.
Some other people went, and then it was Sirius's turn. He took a sip of his potion and turned into a giant Daddy Long-legs. It seemed that many other people were scared of them too, because a lot of the children were screaming. Twenty seconds after, he was back to being a smiling Sirius.
After some other Gryffindors and Slytherins went, it was then Lily's turn. She got up, walked to the front of the class, and drank her potion. Almost instantly she felt her body melting, and then reforming into something else. She didn't turn into another object though. Her body was spreading all over the room. All of a sudden, the entire room became jet black. Nobody could see, darkness was looming over everyone. Gusts of wind started blowing about the classroom, making everyone's papers and books fly everywhere. Then, there was a flash of green light, a cold, high pitched laugh, and then the class became normal again, with Lily standing in the front. All of the children ran to go pick up their papers and things that fell, and then a shaken Lily explained; 'My greatest fear is a dream I once had. That was only a part of it.'
