Chapter 1
"Lily!!!" I heard someone call my name. The current date was September 1st, 1975. I had just walked through the barrier of platform nine and three- quarters. I turned around to see my best friend Arabella Figg running towards me. She hugged me so tightly that I thought my ribs had broken. "How was your summer? I missed you so much!!"
"I missed you too, Bella. My summer, as you can imagine, was incredibly boring! My sister is more annoying than ever!" I said. Petunia, my sister, had just started dating this guy, Vernon Dursley, and spent the whole summer bragging about how cute and nice he was. Honestly, I think she needs glasses because, come on, the guy looks like a pig. He has this huge moustache that almost covers his mouth. I mean it, it's disgusting! But anyway, I smiled at Bella as we walked on the train trying to find a compartment. I had missed her so much. We hadn't seen each other all summer. "So, how was your trip to France?"
"Lily, my dear friend, the French wizards are so hot!! You have no idea! Not only wizards but muggles too! And they're so nice!" she kept rambling about hot French guys for the next ten minutes. That was Bella. She thought all mean on Earth were hot. All men except greasy Snape. He was an annoying Slytherin. "Hey, look! That's Bren in that compartment!" Bella shouted suddenly. It scared the hell out of me because I had kind of spaced out there for a minute.
"Geez, Bella, you don't have to shout like that, you know. You almost gave me a heart attack!" I said massaging my chest trying to calm down.
"Sorry, Lils. It's just that I missed you guys so much!" she said we entered Brenda's compartment. "Bren!!!" Bella shouted again. Brenda looked up and smiled at us.
"Bella!!! Lils!!!" she shouted as loud as Bella had hugging us. "How are you doing?" She asked as we sat down. "How was summer?"
"Boring as hell." I said. " Bella's was much more interesting I dare say." I teased looking at Bella who grinned devilish at me.
"Bren, this summer I found out that the French wizards are the hottest men on Earth. I met this guy, Pierre Delacour, and he is so handsome and nice. We went out a few times while I was in France." Said Bella smiling.
"So are you two going steady or something?" asked Brenda.
"Nah, it was just a fling. We went out a few times, kissed a few times and that was it. I mean, come on, the guy lives in another country! It would never work! It was just a summer thing. We both know that." Said Bella grinning at us. She was never a girl for long relationships.
"Hey, Lils, is it true you've been made Head Girl?" asked Brenda.
"Yep." I said happily. I still couldn't believe it.
"WHAT???" shouted Bella with wide eyes.
"Why? Is that much of a shock, Ms. Figg?" I teased.
"Dumbledore has lost his mind!" she said with amusement.
"That's not all. You still don't know who the Head Boy is." I said.
"Who is it?" they both asked anxiously.
"Potter." I said with a sigh. I was going to have to work with that jerk all year long.
"WHAT???" Bella and Brenda shouted.
"Oh. My. God." Said Brenda in disbelief. "How?"
"It's official. Albus Dumbledore is on crack! Totally lost his mind! What the bloody hell was he thinking when he named that sorry excuse for a wizard Head Boy?" said Bella gaping. I totally agreed with her. James Potter was the most annoying, egotistical, self-centered person I had ever known.
"That was exactly when I thought when I received my letter." I said.
"Maybe, Potter had our dear Headmaster under the Imperius Curse and made him choose him as Head Boy!" Bella said as if she was in deep thought about it.
"Shut up, Bella!!" Brenda and I shouted. You could always count on Bella to light up the mood. That little comment she made, took our minds off Potter and we totally changed the subject. We went talking throughout the ride and only when we got to the Hogsmeade Station that we realized someone was missing. Amanda Carlton, our other friend, hadn't showed up yet.
"Hey, guys, where's Amanda?" I haven't seen her yet." Brenda said when we were on the carriages that was taking us to the castle. "In fact, I haven't talked to her since the beginning of the summer."
"Do you think something happened to her?" Bella asked.
"Probably not." I said. "If something bad had happened to her we would've known it by now." I was trying to keep their minds off Amanda because they seemed really worried. In fact, I was really worried about Amanda because she hadn't answered any my letter the entire summer and I was praying that nothing had happened to her.
"Yeah, Lils is probably right." Bella said. "You know what I've just noticed?"
"What?" I asked.
"The Marauders didn't show up in our compartment this year to annoy us."
"Amen to that." I said with a sigh. Though I found it really weird that the Marauders hadn't come to bother us. Not that I was complaining. Not at all. But it just felt strange you know. It was like a tradition. Every year they did that. Why not this year?
"Do you think they're up to something?" Brenda asked.
"Dunno. But if it has something to do with us, those gits will wish they were never born!" I said. I was determined not to take any shit from those idiots. It was my last year on the castle as a student and I really wanted to enjoy it as much as I could and, as Bella had kindly put in, those sorry excuses for wizards were not gonna stand on my way.
~*~
When we arrived at the castle, I couldn't help but feel that I was finally coming home. It's not that I didn't like my house or my parents or anything like that. It was just that ever since I first stepped my foot on this castle, I felt that I belonged there you know. I don't really know how to explain but you guys know what I mean, don't you?
Anyway, we had just entered the castle and were on our way to the Great Hall. We were really excited because it was our last year there and we wanted to make the best of it. As we walked through the halls, we were greeted by loads of people and talked to everyone. We were laughing over something that I don't really remember now, but we stopped talking immediately, our smiles turned to scowls as our eyes met four boys. All four of them grinning evilly at us. The Marauders. The infamous Hogwarts pranksters. On the school's eyes, the most handsome guys at Hogwarts. On our point of view, the most egotistical, self-centered jerks in the world.
"Well, well, well... Check it out, guys. If it isn't the Fireball gang." Said a sarcastic voice. James Potter. Yep, the one and only. "I bet you guys missed us, didn't you? As we didn't pay our annual visit to your compartment." He said with a smirk. Could he be any more cocky? For Merlin's sake!
"Get out of the way, Potter. I'm not in the mood for a fight right now." I said trying to pass. Potter and Black blocked my way. Before I continue with this, let me introduce you to the Marauders. The first, James Potter, you already know, so I'll move on to the next one. Sirius Black. Potter's best friend. He was women magnet and had his ego bigger than China. He was pretty well built, like James, because of quidditch. He was a beater on our house team. He had dark brown hair, dark blue eyes and was really tall. I don't know for sure but I think it is 6'3. And his favorite hobby was to annoy Bella. And, boy, he could be annoying! Now moving to the next Marauder. Remus Lupin. He was the most sensible of the four. That's for sure. And he was really sweet too. We actually talked a few times. He was the only one out of the four that we were on friendlier terms with. He had light brown hair, baby blue eyes and he was tall too. He was bit shorter than James and Sirius but he was still tall, reaching at least 6'0. And last but not least, there was Peter Pettigrew. He was... I don't know, kinda weird. There was something about him. He had blonde hair, watery blue eyes and was rather short compared to the other three. He was just a tiny little bit taller than me. Anyways, back to the story. "Get out, you git! Let me pass!" I said, my temper rising.
"Don't think so!" said James in a singing voice.
"Let me pass or I'll jinx you!" I threatened him. It didn't work. He was blocking my way while Sirius and Remus were blocking Bella's and Brenda's. Suddenly he grabbed my arm.
"Now, Peter!" Sirius said and I heard Peter say a spell that I didn't recognize. There was a flash of blue light but clumsy Peter managed, somehow, to hit himself with it. We looked down because he had fallen to the floor and saw the most hilarious thing ever! Peter was now wearing pink cheerleader clothes and had I love Severus Greasy Snape flashing above his head. God, that was the funniest thing I had ever seen. I had never laughed so hard in my entire life! Bella was rolling on the floor laughing so hard that she tears rolling down her cheeks. Brenda was leaning on the wall laughing out loud. Even the boys were laughing. Sirius had fallen on the floor from laughing, Remus was red in the face from laughing so hard and James, surprisingly, was holding onto me laughing his ass off.
"Wormy, you've outdone yourself this time!" said Remus. Peter was so embarrassed. His face was almost purple!"
"That. Was. The. Funniest thing. I've ever. Seen!" I said between laughs.
"Is that what you were going to do to us?" Bella asked. The boys nodded. " I gotta tell you, it suits Peter a whole lot better than it would us!" she said laughing again.
"Peter, old boy, as strange as this will sound, I agree with her." Said Sirius.
"That's not even the worst. It's a 24 hours spell. It'll only wear off tomorrow night!" James said making us laugh even harder.
"You know, I think we should be going to the Great Hall. The Sorting is probably almost over by now." Brenda said.
"Yeah, Bren's right. We should go." I said and just then I realized that James was still holding onto me. He probably realized it too because we pulled away from each other in the same instant like we had been burned or something. We looked at each other but quickly looked away. I didn't know for sure what had just happened. I hadn't even realized that he was touching me. That was definitely weird.
The moment we walked in on the Great Hall, everyone burst out laughing at Peter. Apparently, the Sorting had just ended and Dumbledore had stood to give his speech. His eyes were twinkling with amusement and I guess he was probably fighting the urge to laugh with the students.
"What is the meaning of this?" he asked amused.
"Well, let's just say that it was a backfired prank, professor." Said Sirius.
"Thank you, Mr. Black. Now all of you kindly take your seats." Said Dumbledore. We went to the Gryffindor table and sat down. "Welcome, students, to a new year at Hogwarts. First years, please notice that the Forbidden Forest, as the name already says, is forbidden to all students, including seventh years." He said looking at the Marauders who stood up and bowed. "Our care-taker, Mr. Filch, asked me to remind you that you can't use magic in the corridors. Now, let the feast begin." The Headmaster said and food appeared in our table. I was sandwiched between Bella and Bren and we were sitting across the Marauders. A lot of people were still laughing because of Peter's interesting outfit.
"You know what, that was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life." Bella said grinning.
"Yeah, thank God it backfired or it would be us who would be laughed at." I said. Peter was still red from embarrassment.
"You mean thanks to Peter here!" said James laughing.
"Yeah, thanks, Peter. If it weren't for you..." Brenda said laughing.
~*~
That was a good start of term if you ask me. Even though we had to share it with the Marauders. For the first time ever since first year, we actually talked civilly to each other. It was right at that moment, when Peter blew up the prank, that our relationship started to change.
Well, that evening, after dinner, we went to the Gryffindor Tower with the Marauders. I really don't know what came over us. We were actually laughing and joking with the Marauders, our archenemies. I thought I was in a sick twisted world! When we reached the Common Room we said goodnight to the boys and went to our dorm. There we found Amanda Carlton. Our other friend, the one we didn't find at the train and were worried sick about, remember? There she was lying in her bed with a weird smile on her face.
"Amanda!" said Bella as soon as we closed the door. "Where the hell have you been? We've looked all over for you!"
"Oh, hey, guys." Amanda said. Apparently she had just noticed we were in the room too. And that smile on her face... It was just too strange. Amanda hardly ever smiled.
"Mandy, where have you been all summer? Why didn't you answer our owls?" I asked. That smile was creeping me out. She got out of her bed and looked at me.
"I've been travelling..." Amanda said with a dreamy look on her face.
"Didn't you get our owls?" Brenda asked.
"No, but I had the best summer ever..." she said still the dreamy look.
"What happened?" asked Bella excited. "Because I had a fantastic summer too and I met this really hot guy in France and..."
"Bella, let her talk." Bren said. I thanked her silently because I really didn't want to hear about how deliciously handsome the French guys are all over again.
"I met this really cute guy and he's awesome..."Amanda said in a dreamy voice. That wasn't like her at all. There was definitely something wrong with her and we were just about to find out what it was.
"Who is he? Does he go here too?" I asked excited that my friend had met a nice guy.
"Yes, he's a seventh year like us." She said smiling.
"What's his name?" Bella asked.
"Lucius Malfoy." She said happily. Oh. My. God! Our jaws fell to the floor. I couldn't believe my ears. Was Amanda Carlton, one of my best friends, dating Lucius Malfoy, the filthy Slytherin bastard??? It wasn't prejudice against the Slytherins. Not at all. Some of them were actually nice. But that was Lucius Malfoy we were talking about. A Malfoy!!! He was evil!! After a minute or so in which we were trying to recover from the shock, our minds kind of clicked in and we yelled in unison.
"WHAT???"
"Malfoy??" asked Brenda still gaping like a fish.
"A Slytherin?" Bella asked.
"Mandy, sweetie," I said calmly. "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND???" I yelled. Amanda seemed taken by surprise.
"Why, what's wrong with him?" Amanda asked. I looked at Bella and Brenda in disbelief.
"Oh my God..." said Bella sitting in her bed. "Please tell me I'm dreaming. This isn't happening!"
"Mandy, this is Malfoy we're talking about, remember? The filthy Slytherin? The one that hates us? Ring any bells?" said Brenda.
"He doesn't hate me. We're in love." Amanda said happily. He said he loves me today. He is the sweetest guys I've ever met!"
"Mandy, this guy is evil. He's a suspected Death Eater for Merlin's sake!" I tried to reason with her.
"No he's not. He is a good man. You should've seen the places he took me this summer. It was wonderful. And his family is great too. You should see all the people they help!" she said excited.
"Oh, God..." Bella said to us. "She's been brain-washed!"
"Malfoy's got her wrapped around his finger." I said.
"What are we going to do? We can't allow this!" said Brenda worried.
"I'm going to bed, guys." Said Amanda. "Good night."
"Good night." We mumbled still too appalled to think properly.
