Disclaimer: as usual, everything you recognise is Rowling's. Plot is mine.
A/N: well, here I am, writing my second fic. I know I should be working on my other story, but since I got only one single review from the last chapter, which was very difficult to write, and I suddenly got inspired to write this, I thought it would be a good idea to do it. I have hundreds of ideas stored in my mind so you can expect other stories soon!
Summary: ever wonder why Lily's spell on Harry was so powerful? Well here you will find my version of Lily's childhood, her school years with the terrible marauders and a thing or two I won't tell you Now all you have to do is read! Enjoy!
Chapter one: the beginning.
Lily sighted. She looked at the window: another grey rainy day in the boring house of the Seron's. They had found her when she was only two years old, she had been laying inside a picnic basket at their door. They were a married couple with a young kid about the same age.
They lived in a farm that was in the middle of nowhere. They had taken her in only because they needed more hands to work. They never treated her badly, but they have never given her the love that she needed. They were not very good parents, they were always too busy for her or even for their own son, Steve.
Lily had past most of her childhood working at the farm, milking the cows, collecting the crops, cleaning the house, the barn, feeding the animals, and so on. She never had toys but she had always had a great imagination, which could replace them.
She had always been too busy and too far away from school to go. She and Steve had become very closed friends. He had always listened to her on those long days on the farm. He made her laugh when she was sad and always understood her. He was the ideal brother any girl would want. He was exactly a month older than she was (they knew her birthday because inside the basket they had found her there were some papers).
It had been a very big surprise when Lily, on her eleventh birthday, got a letter to go to Hogwarts. It had mysteriously come with some money for her books. Truth to be told is that Dumbledore send her every year some money for her things, he had taken a liking on this girl. But he never said that he was the one who send his money.
So off she went to Hogwarts. She immediately became best friends with the marauders, specially with Sirius Black. The marauders had been very closed friends since they had memory, especially Sirius and James Potter but Remus Lupin and Peter had also been good friends. They had accepted this girl the moment they saw her, knowing she was one of them.
She was not completely a tomboy, but like she had lived in a cold farm, she had had a hard life. This made her strong and brave and when she met these boys and saw their way of living she immediately wanted to be like them, having fun all day long. She was very intelligent and came up with the most brilliant pranks any of the boys could think of. She was accepted into the 'Marauders'.
She had dark brown boring hair and dark brown eyes and if you looked closely at them, you would have noticed they were kind of green. (a/n: strange, I know, but my eyes are really like that, they also turn green when I wash my face or cry, don't ask my why.)
(A/n 2 : I know that this is not the real description of Lily, but for the time being it will be, ok?).
Now it was summer holidays. Lily and the marauders would be going into their fourth year. Over the summer Lily had grown taller, out of her usual petit figure. She was extremely pretty but no males at Hogwarts dare to ask her out. Ever. The problem was that the marauders were too protective, Lily didn't care, she wasn't much into dating stuff, she preferred playing pranks and hanging out with Sirius, James, Remus and Peter.
Now back to the present.....
Lily looked at the rain. Steve was sitting across from her on the floor. Reading one of Lily's books about the magical world. Steve had always been interested in it, and Lily, who didn't forget about him during the school years, send him letters every single day.
I wonder what the boys are doing right now? she thought. Although Lily had been invited several times to spend the summer with her friends, her adoptive parents had never allowed her.
Lily had an idea. The thing that she most missed when she was at school, besides Steve, were the horses. She loved going on horseback riding. Anytime: during the day and/or night, in winter or summer, even when it was raining.
" Hey, want to go on horseback riding?" she asked Steve.
"Sure."
They went out of the house and got two horses. They walked as if it were a normal day, like if the rain wasn't pouring down and landing heavily on them, they were used to it.
They raced with the horses all around the farm. Then they started jumping old fallen down tree-trunks. The horses seemed to fly. But then, it happened. Steve fell from the ground and his head hit a trunk. Lily jumped off her horse. "STEVE!!!!" she said, running towards him.
He lay unconscious on the floor.
"steve, please.... don't die.... don't let me alone....... don't....."She said sobbing.
Then, she somehow knew what to do. She held his hand tightly and wished against all wishes he would wake up. Some of her vital energy started going into him. He opened his eyes, confused. She smiled at him weakly and, because most of her energy had been drained, she fainted.
When she woke up she was inside her bed, with dry clothes. She looked around her room.
"What happened?" she asked Steve, who was sitting on a chair near her. "That is what I want to know. First everything went black, then I started seeing a golden light which was pulling me back. I opened my eyes and you fainted. From what I read on your books, you must have passed me some of your energy." He said.
"But how on earth did I do that? I mean, to be able to pass your energy to other person you require a wand and you must learnt a complicated spell. I had neither of them." Lily answered. She was very curious about this.
"No idea." He said.
Lily fell back into her pillow and went to sleep. She had wonderful dreams about herself and the marauders, boy, she missed them a lot!
The rest of the summer passed uneventful. Lily and Steve got up every day before sunrise, so they could go running. Although Lily had never been fat, she had always been rather chubby. This summer she had proposed herself to loose some weight. She had achieved this by running every morning around the farm, for about an hour. Now she was quite slender, and her legs were muscular too.
The first of September came fast. Steve went with her and they said good bye at the barrier. Lily promised to write to him every day and went through the barrier.
"Ouch!"
She had knocked into someone.
"I am sorry" they both said. When they turned to face each other.....
"LILY!!!!!!!!"
"SIRIUS!!!!!"
They hugged each other. They had missed each other a lot.
"Lily, I didn't recognise you, you have grown taller." Sirius said. He didn't notice his friend had also had other changes because of Lily's lose robs.
When James, Remus and Peter saw her they hugged her so hard she started choking.
They found a compartment and loaded their trunks.
"So... how was your summer guys?" Lily asked her friends. They had all, well, except Peter, invited her to their houses, but her parents hadn't allowed her.
"Boring, as usual. My dad gave some parties at my house for all the boring ministers of Europe and some important aurors. I had to be present, as usual. Well at least Sirius was there." James said. His father was the Minister of Magic and Sirius' father was an auror. Lily had always been very curious about these boys' houses and all the things they surely had. They never showed it, but they had loads and loads of money.
"ya, if it hadn't been for our little surprise at the end, it would had been totally boring." Sirius said, grinning.
"Don't even tell me about it. You must have scared the hell out of those innocent ministers," Lily said laughing. She had a pretty good idea of what their pranks were like.
"And you guys?" she said, looking at Remus and Peter.
"Oh...I...I...I...met some interesting people" Peter said nervously, not meeting their eyes. (a/n: have any idea of who it was?)
"And I, well, the only thing I can say is that there were too many full moons. Not a very enjoyable summer." Remus said. They all knew he was a werewolf.
"And you Lily?" James asked.
" Like always: feeding the animals, milking the cows, etc. I also rode on horseback all day long with Steve. You guys should meet him, he is a nice guy." Lily said.
The boys, James and Sirius especially, felt very sorry for her. Never in their lives they had done a single house chore, and their best friend had to work as a slave.
"Tell you what" James said. "Next summer we will go to your farm and meet this Steve boy. We will also take you with us when we return, no matter what"
"Yeah. Besides, our parents are dying to meet you. They saw some pictures of you and asked us to introduce you." Remus said. The other boys nodded their heads in agreement.
"Ok" Lily, said. Smiling grateful at them.
Around midday, all of them went out of the compartment and started looking for Malfoy's and Snape's compartment. When they found it, they threw hundreds and hundreds of dungbombs into it and Lily made a locking spell, which made the compartment door locked until they got to Hogsmade.
They all return to their compartments rolling in laughter.
They got to Hogwarts very early. They saw the sorting ceremony and clapped the new Gryffindors. The Marauders (4 boys and Lily, she is one of them, remember?) were very hungry. But what came next made them forget completely about their stomachs.
Dumbledore stood up and asked for silence. He gave the usual warnings of not going into the forest and explained a couple of things to the first years. But when he finished, he didn't seat, as usual. This meant he had something important to announce. They all looked at him expectantly. He had this twinkle in his eyes.
"well, I have only one more thing to tell you. Some people from the magical confederation of the magical country of Kilstainn will be with us this year. They have some business here, and if I were you, I wouldn't get on their wrong side. Please help them in whatever they need, make them feel at home, it is very important, for everyone, understood?" he said.
"So now I would like you all to welcome them................. They will be here in some minutes, watch your manners, please." He finished. It was strange for him to ask them all this, he never did. This must be very important people.
When Lily turned to talk to her friends, she found them all shocked. In fact, all the non-muggleborns in the hall were like this.
"What did he meant? Who are those people? Why is he so worried about our manners? And I thought that there was non entirely magical country, what is he talking about?" Lily asked her friends, confused.
Sirius was the first to speak. " I think we should start from the beginning. There are more magical creatures than the ones we study at school. There are some, which are very similar to us, wizards, but more than a hundred times more powerful. Know who I am speaking of?" Sirius asked her.
"No". Lily replied.
"Fairies. They are very similar to us, but they are extremely powerful. I wander what business they have here." Remus said.
"How come I have never seen one?" Lily asked.
"You see, many years ago, we, wizards depended on fairies. We asked them to solve all our problems. For a time they did, but then they realised that they had no right to control our lives, that we were becoming useless, so they decided they had had enough.
They magically made an enormous island and went to leave there. Although this island is supposed to be bigger than Europe and Asia put together, it is not visible for muggles or wizards. But I wonder what could be so important to make them go out of their island. Since they went there, in the year 125, they have never set a foot on our world. That is why you have never seen one." James explained.
"But they were so important for us, wizards, that we have always remembered them." Sirius said. " They are known to be a little unfriendly towards us, and when they get pissed off, they can be ver dangerous."
Now Lily understood a bit more. No wonder Dumbledore wanted them to behave.
Suddenly, they all heard trumpets sounding. The Great Hall walls opened slowly. And when the witches and wizards saw who it was they were more shocked than before.
So, tell me people, do you like it? Should I continue it? I know this first chappie was kinda slow, but I promise you it gets better. This story has a real, thought over, plot! I have already written chapter two and depending on the amount and kind of reviews I will be uploading it soon.
Come on, make my day, please?

Please? Just click the button below, I know you want to! Heh not really, I only wish that!
Oh and if anyone wants to be my beta just leave me your e-mail. Please? I need help!
