"Oh yea Lily! We forgot to tell you about our little bet." Remus said suddenly. Sirius' eyes grew round and bright. "Oh let me tell her!!! Please!" Remus rolled his eyes and nodded. "I bet that I can get more detentions then you, Remus, Peter and James for this entire year!" Lily smiled happily. "All right! That sounds great!" She laughed. "So far I'm winning!" They sat down at one long table. Girls on one side guys on the other. Various item were on the table, most looked like they were plant tools.

Herbology and their teacher were very interesting, not only did they not write notes but they hand a hands on learning experience. Professor Moore had her students re-pot half a dozen plants.

"She's making us do her grunt work!" James complained.

"And we're ruining out nails!" Arabella pointed out. Lily and Mercy both looked down at their short nails. "Mine were all ready wrecked." Mercy said and Lily nodded.

"Hey what house are we sharing with? Is that Shasha trying to get our attention?" Remus asked as he pointed over at the blond girl frantically trying to get their attention. Lily, Mercy, and Arabella beckoned her over.

"Hey! I'm glad we share one class with you guys!" She said when she reached their table and took the last empty seat next to Arabella.

"How's your how's treating you? Make any friends so far?" Remus asked, the only one of the boys who was actually interested.

Shasha nodded enthusiastically, "Yes! I have. They're really nice though not as exciting as you guys but I'll manage."

"Well you'll have to come eat dinner with us sometime." Lily said as she struggled violently with one particularly stubborn plant. Sirius lifted his arm and threw a clump of dirt at Lily. Suddenly it reversed and hit Sirius directly in his face.

"Now Mr. Black, is it? You really shouldn't throw things at other people, you never know when things will come back and hit you in the face." An adult chuckled behind him. They all turned, Sirius wiping the dirt off his face, and saw Professor Moore standing, wand raised. "That'll be a night of detention for you." And with that she walked away, smiling, to help another student.

Lily laughed. "That was great! I'll have to remember to look up that spell. But don't worry I'll get you back."

Yeah, but now we're tied!" He said, punching his fist in the air. Lily leaned and pushed Sirius, making him fall to the floor, with a bang.

"Don't worry Sirius, that isn't my pay back." Lily said laughing. Sirius picked himself off the floor, laughing with her, though not as happily.

"All right, Lily. Whatever you say." Sirius said, a strange spark in his eyes. One many will come to fear. That mischievous little spark will start the Marauder's legacy.

"Come on boys! Charms is down this way!" Lily said excitedly as they left the Great Hall from lunch.

"I guess some one really wants to get to charms right quick." James said.

"Shut up." Lily said halfheartedly as they entered the charms classroom.

A young dwarf was climbing up on his stool, watching his students filter into the room. Their group was one of the last ones to arrive. Class started quickly and the Professor's name was spinning in multi-colors above his head. A Professor Flickwick. "A charm," he said, "and not a hard one either." He went down the attendance list, going through Hufflepuff, then Gryffindor. Finally, "Evens, Lily?" He called. Lily focused and her name shot from her wand and hung in the air in red glitter. "Very nice!! Someone with a natural ability in Charms! I can't wait to get started!" He squeaked happily. Lily smiled and waved her hand, the red glitter flew forward in a giant ball and dumped all over Sirius, who was sitting in front of her.

"Oh Sirius! I'm so sorry! It was an accident! Too bad that won't come off for twenty four hours! Oh dearie me!" Lily said in mock concern. Sirius sat there gaping at her. Lily blew him a kiss and smiled evilly.

"Lily that was wicked!" James said in awe.

"Smashing!" Remus said, laughing.

"Lily I must say I wasn't expecting anything magic. It completely threw me off. Totally unexpected!" He paused a moment to give her a half bow. Then in a loud, sobbing noise came from his mouth. "Our little Lily is growing up! I'm so proud of you!" He cried loudly, receiving many stares. Lily rolled her eyes at his attempt to make her embarrassed and turned her attention to the professor.

"Now class what you're going to learn today is the levitating spell. Now take out your wands and practice with me. Swish and flick." He said as he demonstrated the movement. The students complied eagerly, and after a few minutes Professor Flickwick announced. "Now practice say the word. Wingardium Leviouso." He listened to them practice, praising a few who sounded it right and correcting others who didn't. "You may practice with the feather on you desk." The professor called.

Lily laughed at the others desperately trying to make the feather rise. She glanced over at James, who was angrily saying the spell. "James." She said in a taunting voice. He glanced up and met her eyes.

Lily looked down at the feather, she said the charm and made the feather rise. She took it up about five feet above her head, at that point the professor saw and said. "Very good, Miss Evans! Everyone look at Miss Evans, only a select few can do this charm that quickly!" Lily beamed and lowered the feather. She looked back at James, who was scowling. She smiled sweetly as he stuck his tongue out at her.

The class passed too quickly for Lily's liking, and suddenly they were heading up to the common room. "This has been an interesting day." Mercy said tiredly.

"Hey I'm going to go find Shasha, she should be heading down to dinner now. I'll see you down there." Arabella said. The others mumbled a tried reply as she bounded down the hall. They reached the portrait, said the password and entered the common room. Most students were putting away their things away in their rooms, then heading down to dinner. The small group followed the older students' actions and met back in the common room.

"I am so hungry!" Sirius said as they headed to the Great Hall.

"You're always hungry!" Mercy said, laughing.

"I know but I'm a growing boy! I got to grow up big and strong for the ladies!" He wiggled his eyebrows, as he said. "Very big." Then he darted through the doors as Mercy leapt forward to hit him. The others filed into the Great Hall and sat down where Sirius was. Since they were a little late the food was already on the table. The boys immediately stared piling food on their plates. Lily poured herself a cup of coffee, she was adding sugar when she noticed her friends had suddenly fallen quiet. Lily looked up to see what was going on, her friends were all staring at her.

"What?" Lily asked.

"Coffee? That's gross! And it will stunt your growth." James said, making a face.

"Actually its not and with all the homework I have, it'll be a nice energy booster." Lily explained.

"Yeah! Uh huh, whatever you say!" Sirius said sarcastically.

Lily shook her head as she poured in the sugar, and said. "Think what you will, but don't shoot something down before you've even tried it." James shook his head and went about eating the rest of his food. Dinner passed quickly and soon the group was heading up to the common room with a new found energy.

They settled around a red round table, books and papers scattered everywhere. After a half hour of working James and Sirius went off to talk to some of the older students. An hour passed and Peter went off to bed, Arabella went to meet up with Shasha. Lily finally got up, saying. "I'm gonna go for a walk." Remus was hunched over a book, and Mercy was writing something. No one really answered and for that Lily was glad.

She left the common room and took the first set of stairs heading up. Up and up she went, until she found herself at the end of the hall with only one door leading forward. She glanced behind her, making sure no one had followed her. The corridor was empty and Lily turned back to the black wooden door. She placed her hand on the doorknob and turned it. She pushed the heavy door open and peeked her head in. She gasped and pushed the door further open. She stepped inside and shut the door behind her.

Lily looked around the room, black leather couches and red walls. The wooden floor was shiny and smooth. There was a large mirror on one wall, perfect for her. Lily walked over to the mirror and starred into it. She turned from the mirror and continued to explore the room.

There was an empty refrigerator that it she though of what she wanted to eat as she was opening the door it would appear. Across the room were French doors leading to a balcony that overlooked the lake. Lily turned back inside and for the first time she realized an old bureau. She walked over to it and opened the doors.

Inside were five beautiful dresses, one black, one white, one red, one blue and one green. She looked at each dress in turn, each as beautiful as the last but different too. She just happened to look up at the top of the bureau. There were words carved on it.

"Into the chambers of all" Beneath it said, " Lily read, she wondered what it did. She shut the doors and turned back to the room. She checked her watch, and gasped. She'd been out for almost an hour. She hurried to the door and cast one last look around the room, before resolving she would be back. She left the room and hurried back to her common room, making sure to memorize how she would get back to that room. She gave the fat lady the password and entered the common room.

"Lily! There you are! We were about to send out a search party!" Mercy said as she ran over to her friend. Remus, James, Sirius, Arabella, and Sasha crowded around her. "Where were you?" Someone asked.

Lily pushed her friends away from her, to give her self more room and said. "I went for a walk and got lost. I only just found my way back. I'm sorry I worried you." They walked over to the fireplace and sat down. Lily turned to Sasha and asked. "What are you doing here? This is the Gryffindor common room."

"I'm allowed to enter another common room if I'm invited, which I was by Mercy. I was here to help with the searching." She said with a smile.

Lily looked at her friends and said. "Sorry I worried you all. I'm glad to know you all care enough to go searching for me."

"Anytime." Mercy started but stopped herself. "No, not anytime because then we'll be searching for you all the time. But we all know you'd do the same." They all laughed and nodded.

James and Sirius got up and said. "Well we're going to bed. See you guys in the morning." Everyone said their goodnights and the boys headed to bed.

While the girls walked Sasha to her common room. They headed back to their own dorms, after they said goodnight to Sasha, tiredly changed into their pajamas, and fell asleep the moment their heads hit the pillow.
