CHAPTER ONE- A NEW START
DISCLAIMER- I OWN NOTHING, NOTHING I SAY!!! READ ON FELLOW HP NERDS!!!! (HEHEHE, dont take that personally, just joking there)
As the scarlet train rounded a corner, full with students awaiting the start of a new year, somewhere in England sat a evil man waiting for his faithful servant. "Lucius, where is it?" Said a calm, eerie voice from behind a large moldy green velvet chair before it spun around it reveal a angry looking man with deep brown eyes that looked like black endless holes. A frown on his abnormaly pale face and long fingers gripping the arms of the chair very tightly.
"M'lord, I have tried beyond all my power to get you the book but, it is, impossible to recieve you see. It is kept under very secretive conditions at the ministry, that they won't even tell my father about." Lucius, a seventeen year old boy, said on one knee.
His voice was calm but inside terrified. His long blonde hair, at his shoulders, was slicked back into a greasy ponytail. His eyes staring at the floor, not daring to look at his new master.
"Well Lucius, we shall try other means of getting this book. Now leave, I am disgusted with you at the moment." Lord Voldemort said, standing tall now and looming over Lucius with a sneer on his face.
"But here first." He added and then said "crucio."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I am sorry James, but how?" Remus Lupin asked his friend with disbelief. A grin spread across his kind face, his brown eyes twinkling under his mushroom cut light brown hair.
"well Moony, apparently Professor Dumbledore saw something in our Mr. Prongs that we didn't. And let me tell you, I still don't." A boy with black hair that fell elegantly down to his shining grey eyes, his handsome face had a look of mock confusion on it that sent the boys into barrels of laughter except for James.
"I don't think it was that difficult to figure out why I was made head boy." James said with a hint of arrogance in his deep voice.
James was a tall boy, same as Sirius, and a little taller than Remus. He was skinny but had some strength thanks to his love and life, quidditch. James had horribly messy jet black hair with round hazel eyes.
"You slept with McGonagall didn't you?" Sirius said, grinning all the while.
"Yes, how the hell did you know, I told Minnie not to tell anyone." James said grinning back at his best friend.
Sirius and James had been best friends since they met on the first ever Hogwarts train ride they had taken. Since Sirius and his parents didn't get along or believe in the same things, Sirius ran away from home when he was 16 years old and lived with James and his family until he could move out on his own. Sirius and James had also met Remus on the train ride and they also got along with him.
Peter they had met in classes and felt sorry for him so they took him under their wing. Peter was a short, plump boy with mousy brown hair and watery eyes. He also had a stuttering problem when he got nervous but they boys over looked that and let him become a marauder with them. During their second year, Sirius Black and James Potter found out a secret that was bugging them for awhile, where did their friend Remus go every month. They knew someone's mom would not get sick EVERY month of the year and have him go home for one night. They knew something was up so soon they figured it out. Remus Lupin was a werewolf. He traveled through the whomping willow every full moon into the shrieking shack and transformed. Remus at first was terrified that he would not have any friends if they found out, due to the fact that the entire wizarding world shunned werewolves, but surprisingly, they wanted to help.
During their fifth year though, they finally finished their three year long project, they were able to transform into animals at will. Werewolves wouldn't attack animals so this helped Remus alittle so he'd still be more of himself when he changed. They would roam Hogsmead, the castle grounds, and the Forbidden forest, not thinking about the dangers of it all but being ignorant teenagers having fun.
James and Sirius transformed into large animals to keep Remus under control and Peter turned into a rat so he could hit the knot on the whomping willow to stop it from attacking them. Sirius turned into a large black dog and James turned into a beautiful white stag. That's where the nicknames Prongs, Padfoot, Wormtail, and Moony came along.
"did...did you really s..sleep with McGonagall?" Peter asked with disgust in his shaky voice.
"Oh, Peter, have you EVER heard of Sarcasm?" Sirius said, looking in disbelief at the short seventeen year old in front of him.
"Well, yes, of....of course, but..but...but, I just wasn't sure is, is all." Peter said in a small voice and went to looking at a sandwich he had brought with him instead of Sirius.
Remus rolled his eyes and and said to James, "So, who is Head Girl this year Prongs?"
"Oh, well now. That is the best part of it all." James said with a stupid grin on his face and he stared at the wall before running a hand through his untidy hair.
"Let me see that paper you got from Dumbledore, I want to see." Sirius said and snatched the paper out of James's hands and looked for about a minute, then said "Lily Evans." "Oh, of course." Remus said, and smiled at James who was still staring at the wall with a dreamy look on his face.
"Sorry Men but I must see our Head Girl about, umm, duties." James said, standing up and looking at his three friends.
"Duties my ass." Sirius replied with a grin.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "so Lily, what are you smiling and jumping about." A girl with long black hair and deep blue eyes that always sparkled named Isabella Finch asked. Isabella was Lily's best friend in the entire world. She was a half blood and was brilliant in Lily's words. Her sister, Arabella was a squib but Isabella spent all her time trying to help her older sister out with some easy spells and defending her when other students called her names.
Though Arabella didn't go to school with them, students still picked on her through Isabella and it upset lily a great deal, though Isabella acted tough on the outside and never told anyone she was hurt by it, Lily knew she was. It hurt Lily too because Arabella was such a sweet girl who never did anything to anyone and she didn't deserve being a squib or being picked on.
"Well Isabella, I was made Head Girl but i guess that isn't really any news." Lily said with grace and elegance. Her Long red hair pulled half way back into a ponytail holder and her bright green eyes looking excitedly at her friend made her beautiful.
"OH MY GOD! WHAT, WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" Isabella shouted, overcome with joy. She had hoped Lily would get it, she worked so hard at it. Isabella knew she would never get it because she was too sarcastic and the teachers said she had an "attitude problem." Well, so the best thing to happen would be her best friend would be Head Girl and she was.
"HOW EXCITING, WE CAN DO ANYTHING NOW." Isabella said excitedly.
"we, what do you mean we, first I am head girl, second, i can't just let you get away with ANYTHING, third, forget all the stuff i said before. This is going to be so much fun!" Lily said and they both hugged each other jumping up and down and yipping with joy.
After a minute or so of this they calmed down and Isabella asked, "So, who's head boy?"
"You know what, i haven't even thought of that yet, wow, i guess i was so excited i didn't check, lets see here." Lily replied and pulled out her Head Girl Notice Sheet with her directions and notices on it.
"well its umm, its..... oh no, how the hell did THAT happen?" Lily said with a frown.
"what?" Isabella asked, but before she could get a reply James Potter walked into their compartment, his hand flying up to his hair and he started smiling and said. "So I take it we are Head Students together Evans."
"what?" Isabella said, and added, "Are you joking?" she looked at Lily and saw that he wasn't. "wait, the teachers said i would never be head girl 'cause i had a "attitude problem" but you are head boy? What the hell, I am so ticked off at the moment, they lied to me." Isbella crossed her arms over her chest and huffed angrily her hair out of her face.
"Well, what do we do first?" James asked, laughing inside to see Isabella Finch looking angry, yet so funny.
"well it says here we have to meet Dumbledore in the Head Students Lounge after dinner, the password is Bologna. See you then." Lily replied, then pushed James out of her and Isabella's compartment.
"This is going to be a great deal of fun now isn't it." Lily said and sat slightly depressed on the seat and looked at the wall.
"How the hell did THAT boy get Head Boy?" Isabella asked and joined Lily in staring at the wall.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The students entered the Great Hall in high spirits before their opening feast. Many talking about their summers to their friends, others talking about the upcoming year, and most, just talking so they didn't sit there quietly. After five minutes, Professor McGonagall led a group of terrified looking first years into the great hall.
After Hannah Aya, Freddie Hinkle, Beatrice Hooze, Nancy Jenkins, Joy Leng, Percy Petty, James Sarrin, and Bill Weasley made it into Gryffindor, Dumblefore stood up for his beginning of the year speech.
"as many of you know, the forbidden forest still remains as its name, forbidden, (looking right at the marauders at that point,) and also a brilliant idea would be to stay away from the whomping willow unless you plan to be whomped to death. Okay, this years Prefects are Alice LaLaine and Frank Longbottom, Amos Diggory and Gildory Lockhart, Chin Chang and Hannah Jobski, and Severus Snape and Bellatrix Black. Please stand up to allow your houses to see who their prefects are." James looked at severus and saw his staring at the first years, telling them with a look that if they asked him anything they would be dead in moments. "And this years Head Girl and Head Boy both happen to be from Gryffindor for the first time in 40 years, (groans from the slytherin table at this comment.) Here are Lily Evans and James Potter." Dumbledore finished with appaluse from around the room. The Slytherin table, of course though, were booing horribly loud. In the minds of everyone, no one knew why on earth Dumbledore made James Potter, mr. Prankster himself, a head boy, the highest honor a student could be given, but no one said anything.
"every please follow your prefects up to bed for a good nights sleep after the feast." Dumbledore concluded and sat down when the food appeared.

AUTHORS NOTE- i hope you all liked this first chapter. Please review and tell me what is wrong or if you just plain hated it or you are in love with the story. I know everyone does these James and Lily stories but something about them just dragges me into the story. I love the way JK Rowling set them up and how they really dont have a backround except a few things told. Thanks, and REVIEW FOR THE LOVE OF CHEESECAKE!!!!!!!!! Thanks!
CHAPTER TWO- the Wrath of Ritz DISCLAIMER- I OWN NOTHING, EXCEPT ANYTHING YOU DONT RECOGNIZE. THERE I SAID IT SO NAH!
Lily woke the next morning with sun streaming into her eyes. She pulled her curtains close and muttered, "its summer mum, geez."
"Ah Lily, I am not your mother and if I was, I would shoot myself. Dearie, it's time to get ready for school now." Isabella said from her closet on the other side of the dorm.
Lily's three other roommates, Burgandy, Jade, and Antoinette, had already left for breakfast, leaving Lily and Isabella the entire bathroom to get ready themselves.
"Oh, this is nice just us in here, not having to fight for the mirror." Isabella said as she applied some mascara to her eyes and looked at Lily. "Oh, Lily, you should really curl your hair today." Isabella added, she loved Lily's hair, especially curly. Her own hair was thick and untamed, but Lily's was perfect, straight and no frizz. Sometimes the world was just unfair.
"Bella, you know I don't care what my hair looks like, as long as it's brushed, it doesn't matter to me at all." Lily said, looking at herself in the mirror.
Lily hated wearing makeup, she only wore eye liner because she liked her eyes standing out. But most girls, like her other roommates were way too into the stuff and they looked like plastic dolls walking around.
"Oh, come on Lily, you know you want to. If you can, why not." Bella finished and took her wand out. "come on, let me do it, please?" She begged with a puppy dog face. Lily giggled a little at her friends seriousness and finally gave up and bella said the two words "apriito caravo" and Lily's hair fell in large spiral curls down to her waist.
"see it's fun to have nice hair isn't it." Bella said with a grin of satisfaction.
"Well you wouldn't know now would you." Lily said with a grin back at her friend.
"that was low Lily, low." Bella replied mockingly and then started hexing Lily with giggling curses.
The giggling curses didn't wear off for a couple minutes so Lily and Bella went down to the common room giggling like mad Hyena's. The four boys at the bottom of the stairs became very quiet and looked up to see a wobbling red head giggling and a hysterical laughing brunette come down the stairs. Actually, they rather tumbled thanks to their laughing, they lost their balance and ended up in a heap at the bottom of the steps, still laughing.
James, Sirius, and Remus all walked over to the girls and knelt down.
"Wonder what's so funny." Remus said, grinning at the two beautiful girls in front of him.
"Oh, isn't it obvious Moony, they are laughing at James' poor sense of style." Sirius said and patted James on the back.
"hey." James replied, his hand flying straight to his hair, and stood up. He then added, "need any help ladies?"
"No thank YOU Potter. We can stand on our own." Lily said, trying to stand up with no help from Bella and collapsed into a heap once more.
"Seems to me you do need help." Sirius said, grabbing Lily under the arms, James grabbing Isabella, and pulling them to their feet.
"there, that wasn't so bad now was it." Remus replied.
"Yes, actually, it was." Isabella replied, with a mock serious face, then added "Lils', lets go eat." With that, the two girls shakily and giggly made their way to the portrait hole and left, the boys could still hear them laughing for a few moments.
"Wonder what...what was so fun..funny." Peter said to break the silence.
"I don't know." James replied, then added "let's go down to breakfast shall we?"
"that's all you think about Prongs, food." Remus said with a smile, knowing fully he only wanted to go down to the Great Hall because of a certain red head.
"Yes FOOD." James said returning the smile from his friend and lead the way out of the Common Room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"hey Lily, what classed did you get?" Burgendy asked. Burgendy had short black hair that was always back in a headband. She was short like Lily but Burgendy loved Quidditch. She played seeker on the house team along with that Potter boy and his friend Black.
"Well, I got all N.E.W.T.S classes, Charms, Transfiguration, Defense Against The Dark Arts, Potions, Astronomy, Arithmancy, and Muggle Studies." Lily said, then added, "Please someone be in some of my classes."
"Well Lils, i am in Defense Against The Dark Arts and Charms with you, but that's it." Isabella said with a frown. "how horrible."
"I have the same as Isabella Lily." Burgendy said with a frown also, "sorry"
"I have Muggle Studies with you Lily." A girl with long light brown hair, freckles, and a smile always on her face said, her name was Antoinette.
"I have Muggle studies and Charms with you." Jade said, her long blonde hair had black streaks in it and was always up in a ponytail.
"Well, I am alone in Transfiguration, Astronomy, Arithmancy, and Potions, how wonderful." Lily replied, saddened and sarcastically.
"Your not alone Evans, I am in those classes." A deep voice said from behind her, Lily knew immediately who it was though.
"Potter, why are you standing behind me listening to our conversation?" Lily asked, turning around to see James Potter and Sirius Black standing behind her. Jade grew quiet and stared with wide eyes at the two boys, she was in love with Sirius Black, like most girls were.
"Well, I came to see if we were in any classes together, and as it turns out, we have to same classes, well, except Muggle Studies, but that's still a lot of classes. Sirius just tagged along with me." James replied smiling at Lily and staring into her green eyes.
"Well, I'd appreciate it if you didn't listen to my conversation with my friends Potter." Lily said, growing slightly angry that he was just standing there, arrogant and annoying, and just smiling. SMILING for heaven's sake.
"well, see you in class, later Evans." James said with a slight wave, and "good bye ladies." And he was gone. Sirius however, bowed deeply and kissed the hand of each girl,( them each giggling uncontrolably except Lily and Isabella who just stared at him like he was crazy.) and he was gone.
"Oh, how smooth is he." Jade said grinning like an idiot.
"as smooth as sandpaper." Lily replied.
"Why are you so mean to them, really, what have they done to you? And you Lily, James is MAD about you, and you don't let up at all. Why?" Burgendy asked staring at the two girls disappointedly.
"well, first, they are BOTH evil to everyone else and why should I let up on James, just because he thinks he likes me. He will probably date me a week and then dump me telling the school how either good I was or how horrible I was in bed. Now why on EARTH would i want that?" Lily said, gathering her books and standing up, closely followed by Isabella. "We'll see you in class, later." Lily replied and walked out of the great hall with Isabella.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
James's first class of the day was Charms, he was looking forward to that because Lily was in there and he was happy just to see her, even if she glared at him, he didn't care. Her fiery anger just made her more beautiful.
Soon, Lily and her friends Isabella, Burgendy, and Jade walked in to class. They sat in front, mainly because James knew this was Lily's favorite class and she excelled wonderfully at it.
"Okay class, first things first. This year, you all are advanced so it will be a lot more difficult. We are going to do a report on a major charm. I will choose the groups so no ideas class." The short professor said, looking at James, Sirius, and Remus at that moment.
"Now, since our class isn't that big, there are groups of two, each group will work on an assigned charm, from me, and it will take possibly up to christmas break, maybe even more." He finished, then added "here are the groups: Brugendy and Sirius, *Jade made a huff noise at this* Isabella and Amos, Janet and Alice, James and Jade, Lily and Remus, Bellatrix and Frank and Narcissa and Lucius. Now, get in your groups so I can pass out the charm you will work on, you must successfully figure out how it works and perform it in front of class later in the year."
Lily walked over to Remus Lupin and sat down next to him. This certain Marauder had never bothered Lily, to her, he seemed nice, not like his friends so she didn't mind being his partner.
"hello Lily, have a good summer?" Remus asked kindly as he sat up fully in his chair.
"it was okay, how was yours? Is your mother still sick?" Lily asked back, remembering fully that he always left once a month to see his sick mother.
"Ah... yes, poor dear. Hopefully she will get better soon. SO, what's our charm." Remus said, changing the subject and looking at the envelope in front of him and Lily.
Lily opened the envelope to see their charm was The Invisibility Charm.
"Okay, well this charm makes the charmer invisible up to 24 hours. That's the information I know on it, how about you?" Lily said.
"well, actually I have never heard of this charm. So it will be surprising."
"Okay, let's get started, here you look in this book, and I'll take this one, and if you can, tonight we can meet in the Library."
"that sounds excellent Lily."
Lily smiled at Remus and they both looked at their books, both smiling.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "James, James, JAMES!" Jade shouted at her partner. He was staring at Lily all lesson and wouldn't pay attention to Jade, which, being the attention lover she was, was angering her very badly.
"James Potter, we are partners this class. I know it must be heartbreaking for you to see Lily Evans not your partner but pay attention!" Jade said, her hazel eyes alive with fire.
"Oh, what. Sorry Jade, okay, well, what is the charm again?" James asked, his eyes still darting back and forth to his friend and Lily, who at the moment were smiling an AWFUL lot.
" For the hundredth time James, we have the hair changing charm." Jade replied. 'I can't believe I ever thought Potter was cute, he is an idiot.' Jade thought in her head, then started looking back into her book she currently reading for information.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"so Burgendy, How are you love?" Sirius asked, not really caring that other girls were staring longingly at him from across the room, but devoting his attention to his best lady friend.
"Oh Sirius, how do you think I am? I am in class, enough said." Burgendy replied and went back to looking at her book.
"When are the new quidditch try-outs for this year?" Burgendy asked moments later, they were looking up information on a charm that set off an alarm when something touched it.
"Oh, well, James plans on having them in a week, we are informing the rest of the team, which happen to be you and Geneva, today, so now all I have to do is tell Geneva, that was easy." Sirius replied.
"Oh, well then, any news on the team fronts?" Burgendy said with a fake captain voice. "Yes, we need one chaser, a keeper, and a beater. And the other teams don't need to fill as many players as we do so they have an advantage over us, but we feel with our just plan greatness, we will win the Quidditch Cup." Sirius replied, then saluted Burgendy and grinned.
"thank you soldier, you are done." Burgendy said, giggling now and smiling.
"whew, thank God."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Lily next had Defense Against the Dark Arts with Isabella and Burgendy. They hated their teacher, Professor Retz, he was pure evil. He was the head of Slytherin house and hated all Gryffindors, especially Sirius Black.
"Oh god, why on earth did you get my class." Professor Retz said as he saw Sirius come into his classroom.
"Thanks, but you can call me Sirius." Sirius replied with a grin to his oh- so-favorite-teacher.
"Don't be smart with me boy." Ritz sneered at the teenager.
"I don't think it to be wise to talk to a student like that Ritz." James sneered back in an equally evil voice.
"Potter, well well well, of course you're in this class, makes perfect sense." Ritz replied.
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" James answered.
"10 points from Gryffindor for swearing at a teacher Potter." Ritz grinned.
"Damn it." James replied under his voice.
" another 10 Potter." Ritz's voice came from behind him.
"Prongs, calm down." Sirius whispered.
"Padfoot, he had no right to be such a jerk to his students." James said, then added, "right Remus."
"Right, yes, but he is teacher and there's no point in replying to his bait. He only likes to take points away because he knows we'll beat him in house points so stop egging him on." Remus replied, then sat with his friends in the back of the class room.
"Class, today we are learning about Werewolves." Ritz sneered and looked up at Remus at that moment, " and I expect many of you to get an A in this unit, and.."
but at that moment, Peter Pettigrew ran into the classroom, and said "Sorry I am late Professor but I had to make it here from..."
"I DON'T CARE PETTIGREW, SIT DOWN NOW, 25 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR FOR YOU LATE APPEARANCE." Ritz shouted, making Peter turn bright red and run to sit with his friends in the back.
"Bastard, what a bastard," James replied.
"We need to get him back." Sirius said.
"i agree." Peter replied, still bright red.

"well it says here we have to meet Dumbledore in the Head Students Lounge after dinner, the password is Bologna. See you then." Lily replied, then pushed James out of her and Isabella's compartment.
"This is going to be a great deal of fun now isn't it." Lily said and sat slightly depressed on the seat and looked at the wall.
"How the hell did THAT boy get Head Boy?" Isabella asked and joined Lily in staring at the wall.

The students entered the Great Hall in high spirits before their opening feast. Many talking about their summers to their friends, others talking about the upcoming year, and most, just talking so they didn't sit there quietly. After five minutes, Professor McGonagall led a group of terrified looking first years into the great hall.
After Hannah Aya, Freddie Hinkle, Beatrice Hooze, Nancy Jenkins, Joy Leng, Percy Petty, James Sarrin, and Bill Weasley made it into Gryffindor, Dumblefore stood up for his beginning of the year speech.
"as many of you know, the forbidden forest still remains as its name, forbidden, (looking right at the marauders at that point,) and also a brilliant idea would be to stay away from the whomping willow unless you plan to be whomped to death. Okay, this years Prefects are Alice LaLaine and Frank Longbottom, Amos Diggory and Gildory Lockhart, Chin Chang and Hannah Jobski, and Severus Snape and Bellatrix Black. Please stand up to allow your houses to see who their prefects are." James looked at severus and saw his staring at the first years, telling them with a look that if they asked him anything they would be dead in moments. "And this years Head Girl and Head Boy both happen to be from Gryffindor for the first time in 40 years, (groans from the slytherin table at this comment.) Here are Lily Evans and James Potter." Dumbledore finished with appaluse from around the room. The Slytherin table, of course though, were booing horribly loud. In the minds of everyone, no one knew why on earth Dumbledore made James Potter, mr. Prankster himself, a head boy, the highest honor a student could be given, but no one said anything.
"every please follow your prefects up to bed for a good nights sleep after the feast." Dumbledore concluded and sat down when the food appeared.

AUTHORS NOTE- i hope you all liked this first chapter. Please review and tell me what is wrong or if you just plain hated it or you are in love with the story. I know everyone does these James and Lily stories but something about them just dragges me into the story. I love the way JK Rowling set them up and how they really dont have a backround except a few things told. Thanks, and REVIEW FOR THE LOVE OF CHEESECAKE!!!!!!!!! Thanks!
CHAPTER TWO- the Wrath of Ritz DISCLAIMER- I OWN NOTHING, EXCEPT ANYTHING YOU DONT RECOGNIZE. THERE I SAID IT SO NAH!
Lily woke the next morning with sun streaming into her eyes. She pulled her curtains close and muttered, "its summer mum, geez."
"Ah Lily, I am not your mother and if I was, I would shoot myself. Dearie, it's time to get ready for school now." Isabella said from her closet on the other side of the dorm.
Lily's three other roommates, Burgandy, Jade, and Antoinette, had already left for breakfast, leaving Lily and Isabella the entire bathroom to get ready themselves.
"Oh, this is nice just us in here, not having to fight for the mirror." Isabella said as she applied some mascara to her eyes and looked at Lily. "Oh, Lily, you should really curl your hair today." Isabella added, she loved Lily's hair, especially curly. Her own hair was thick and untamed, but Lily's was perfect, straight and no frizz. Sometimes the world was just unfair.
"Bella, you know I don't care what my hair looks like, as long as it's brushed, it doesn't matter to me at all." Lily said, looking at herself in the mirror.
Lily hated wearing makeup, she only wore eye liner because she liked her eyes standing out. But most girls, like her other roommates were way too into the stuff and they looked like plastic dolls walking around.
"Oh, come on Lily, you know you want to. If you can, why not." Bella finished and took her wand out. "come on, let me do it, please?" She begged with a puppy dog face. Lily giggled a little at her friends seriousness and finally gave up and bella said the two words "apriito caravo" and Lily's hair fell in large spiral curls down to her waist.
"see it's fun to have nice hair isn't it." Bella said with a grin of satisfaction.
"Well you wouldn't know now would you." Lily said with a grin back at her friend.
"that was low Lily, low." Bella replied mockingly and then started hexing Lily with giggling curses.
The giggling curses didn't wear off for a couple minutes so Lily and Bella went down to the common room giggling like mad Hyena's. The four boys at the bottom of the stairs became very quiet and looked up to see a wobbling red head giggling and a hysterical laughing brunette come down the stairs. Actually, they rather tumbled thanks to their laughing, they lost their balance and ended up in a heap at the bottom of the steps, still laughing.
James, Sirius, and Remus all walked over to the girls and knelt down.
"Wonder what's so funny." Remus said, grinning at the two beautiful girls in front of him.
"Oh, isn't it obvious Moony, they are laughing at James' poor sense of style." Sirius said and patted James on the back.
"hey." James replied, his hand flying straight to his hair, and stood up. He then added, "need any help ladies?"
"No thank YOU Potter. We can stand on our own." Lily said, trying to stand up with no help from Bella and collapsed into a heap once more.
"Seems to me you do need help." Sirius said, grabbing Lily under the arms, James grabbing Isabella, and pulling them to their feet.
"there, that wasn't so bad now was it." Remus replied.
"Yes, actually, it was." Isabella replied, with a mock serious face, then added "Lils', lets go eat." With that, the two girls shakily and giggly made their way to the portrait hole and left, the boys could still hear them laughing for a few moments.
"Wonder what...what was so fun..funny." Peter said to break the silence.
"I don't know." James replied, then added "let's go down to breakfast shall we?"
"that's all you think about Prongs, food." Remus said with a smile, knowing fully he only wanted to go down to the Great Hall because of a certain red head.
"Yes FOOD." James said returning the smile from his friend and lead the way out of the Common Room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"hey Lily, what classed did you get?" Burgendy asked. Burgendy had short black hair that was always back in a headband. She was short like Lily but Burgendy loved Quidditch. She played seeker on the house team along with that Potter boy and his friend Black.
"Well, I got all N.E.W.T.S classes, Charms, Transfiguration, Defense Against The Dark Arts, Potions, Astronomy, Arithmancy, and Muggle Studies." Lily said, then added, "Please someone be in some of my classes."
"Well Lils, i am in Defense Against The Dark Arts and Charms with you, but that's it." Isabella said with a frown. "how horrible."
"I have the same as Isabella Lily." Burgendy said with a frown also, "sorry"
"I have Muggle Studies with you Lily." A girl with long light brown hair, freckles, and a smile always on her face said, her name was Antoinette.
"I have Muggle studies and Charms with you." Jade said, her long blonde hair had black streaks in it and was always up in a ponytail.
"Well, I am alone in Transfiguration, Astronomy, Arithmancy, and Potions, how wonderful." Lily replied, saddened and sarcastically.
"Your not alone Evans, I am in those classes." A deep voice said from behind her, Lily knew immediately who it was though.
"Potter, why are you standing behind me listening to our conversation?" Lily asked, turning around to see James Potter and Sirius Black standing behind her. Jade grew quiet and stared with wide eyes at the two boys, she was in love with Sirius Black, like most girls were.
"Well, I came to see if we were in any classes together, and as it turns out, we have to same classes, well, except Muggle Studies, but that's still a lot of classes. Sirius just tagged along with me." James replied smiling at Lily and staring into her green eyes.
"Well, I'd appreciate it if you didn't listen to my conversation with my friends Potter." Lily said, growing slightly angry that he was just standing there, arrogant and annoying, and just smiling. SMILING for heaven's sake.
"well, see you in class, later Evans." James said with a slight wave, and "good bye ladies." And he was gone. Sirius however, bowed deeply and kissed the hand of each girl,( them each giggling uncontrolably except Lily and Isabella who just stared at him like he was crazy.) and he was gone.
"Oh, how smooth is he." Jade said grinning like an idiot.
"as smooth as sandpaper." Lily replied.
"Why are you so mean to them, really, what have they done to you? And you Lily, James is MAD about you, and you don't let up at all. Why?" Burgendy asked staring at the two girls disappointedly.
"well, first, they are BOTH evil to everyone else and why should I let up on James, just because he thinks he likes me. He will probably date me a week and then dump me telling the school how either good I was or how horrible I was in bed. Now why on EARTH would i want that?" Lily said, gathering her books and standing up, closely followed by Isabella. "We'll see you in class, later." Lily replied and walked out of the great hall with Isabella.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
James's first class of the day was Charms, he was looking forward to that because Lily was in there and he was happy just to see her, even if she glared at him, he didn't care. Her fiery anger just made her more beautiful.
Soon, Lily and her friends Isabella, Burgendy, and Jade walked in to class. They sat in front, mainly because James knew this was Lily's favorite class and she excelled wonderfully at it.
"Okay class, first things first. This year, you all are advanced so it will be a lot more difficult. We are going to do a report on a major charm. I will choose the groups so no ideas class." The short professor said, looking at James, Sirius, and Remus at that moment.
"Now, since our class isn't that big, there are groups of two, each group will work on an assigned charm, from me, and it will take possibly up to christmas break, maybe even more." He finished, then added "here are the groups: Brugendy and Sirius, *Jade made a huff noise at this* Isabella and Amos, Janet and Alice, James and Jade, Lily and Remus, Bellatrix and Frank and Narcissa and Lucius. Now, get in your groups so I can pass out the charm you will work on, you must successfully figure out how it works and perform it in front of class later in the year."
Lily walked over to Remus Lupin and sat down next to him. This certain Marauder had never bothered Lily, to her, he seemed nice, not like his friends so she didn't mind being his partner.
"hello Lily, have a good summer?" Remus asked kindly as he sat up fully in his chair.
"it was okay, how was yours? Is your mother still sick?" Lily asked back, remembering fully that he always left once a month to see his sick mother.
"Ah... yes, poor dear. Hopefully she will get better soon. SO, what's our charm." Remus said, changing the subject and looking at the envelope in front of him and Lily.
Lily opened the envelope to see their charm was The Invisibility Charm.
"Okay, well this charm makes the charmer invisible up to 24 hours. That's the information I know on it, how about you?" Lily said.
"well, actually I have never heard of this charm. So it will be surprising."
"Okay, let's get started, here you look in this book, and I'll take this one, and if you can, tonight we can meet in the Library."
"that sounds excellent Lily."
Lily smiled at Remus and they both looked at their books, both smiling.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "James, James, JAMES!" Jade shouted at her partner. He was staring at Lily all lesson and wouldn't pay attention to Jade, which, being the attention lover she was, was angering her very badly.
"James Potter, we are partners this class. I know it must be heartbreaking for you to see Lily Evans not your partner but pay attention!" Jade said, her hazel eyes alive with fire.
"Oh, what. Sorry Jade, okay, well, what is the charm again?" James asked, his eyes still darting back and forth to his friend and Lily, who at the moment were smiling an AWFUL lot.
" For the hundredth time James, we have the hair changing charm." Jade replied. 'I can't believe I ever thought Potter was cute, he is an idiot.' Jade thought in her head, then started looking back into her book she currently reading for information.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"so Burgendy, How are you love?" Sirius asked, not really caring that other girls were staring longingly at him from across the room, but devoting his attention to his best lady friend.
"Oh Sirius, how do you think I am? I am in class, enough said." Burgendy replied and went back to looking at her book.
"When are the new quidditch try-outs for this year?" Burgendy asked moments later, they were looking up information on a charm that set off an alarm when something touched it.
"Oh, well, James plans on having them in a week, we are informing the rest of the team, which happen to be you and Geneva, today, so now all I have to do is tell Geneva, that was easy." Sirius replied.
"Oh, well then, any news on the team fronts?" Burgendy said with a fake captain voice. "Yes, we need one chaser, a keeper, and a beater. And the other teams don't need to fill as many players as we do so they have an advantage over us, but we feel with our just plan greatness, we will win the Quidditch Cup." Sirius replied, then saluted Burgendy and grinned.
"thank you soldier, you are done." Burgendy said, giggling now and smiling.
"whew, thank God."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Lily next had Defense Against the Dark Arts with Isabella and Burgendy. They hated their teacher, Professor Retz, he was pure evil. He was the head of Slytherin house and hated all Gryffindors, especially Sirius Black.
"Oh god, why on earth did you get my class." Professor Retz said as he saw Sirius come into his classroom.
"Thanks, but you can call me Sirius." Sirius replied with a grin to his oh- so-favorite-teacher.
"Don't be smart with me boy." Ritz sneered at the teenager.
"I don't think it to be wise to talk to a student like that Ritz." James sneered back in an equally evil voice.
"Potter, well well well, of course you're in this class, makes perfect sense." Ritz replied.
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" James answered.
"10 points from Gryffindor for swearing at a teacher Potter." Ritz grinned.
"Damn it." James replied under his voice.
" another 10 Potter." Ritz's voice came from behind him.
"Prongs, calm down." Sirius whispered.
"Padfoot, he had no right to be such a jerk to his students." James said, then added, "right Remus."
"Right, yes, but he is teacher and there's no point in replying to his bait. He only likes to take points away because he knows we'll beat him in house points so stop egging him on." Remus replied, then sat with his friends in the back of the class room.
"Class, today we are learning about Werewolves." Ritz sneered and looked up at Remus at that moment, " and I expect many of you to get an A in this unit, and.."
but at that moment, Peter Pettigrew ran into the classroom, and said "Sorry I am late Professor but I had to make it here from..."
"I DON'T CARE PETTIGREW, SIT DOWN NOW, 25 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR FOR YOU LATE APPEARANCE." Ritz shouted, making Peter turn bright red and run to sit with his friends in the back.
"Bastard, what a bastard," James replied.
"We need to get him back." Sirius said.
"i agree." Peter replied, still bright red.
