"Lily! Lily, wake up!" A voice hissed urgently in Lily Evans ear.
She moaned and rolled over in her bed, clearly not wanting to get up.
"What is it, Audrey?" She mumbled, stuffing her head into her pillow. Lily would rather be suffocated than be woken up in the early hours of the morning.
"Something's outside the door! I don't know what it is!" Audrey whispered worriedly, tugging at her friend's sleeve.
Lily didn't know what to think. Was this some sort of joke, or was it real? A murderous man had been on the loose for a couple of months, but he couldn't possibly be in Hogwarts School with Dumbledore roaming around. His name was Voldemort, the same guy who had murdered James Potter's mother. His name was all over the Daily Prophet and other magazines, and he always caused articles of death and destruction.
"Are you serious?" Lily asked quietly, sitting up slowly in her creaky bed.
Audrey nodded fiercely.
Lily swung her legs over the side of the bed and hopped off it easily. She creeped towards the door on tiptoes, not really preparing to see much, or anything for that matter. She pulled open the door, but nothing was there.
Audrey slinked over to Lily carefully.
"Nothing's is there." Lily said reassuringly.
Then, abruptly, a dark shape walked stealthily away from the two girls. It was a matter of moments before it completely disappeared around the stone corner wall.
"Wha-what was that?" Audrey stuttered, still looking at the spot where the figure was. Lily shut the door firmly, and walked back to her bed. She pulled the sheets around her and tried to speak calmly to Audrey, who had already curled up in her bed, the sheets covered over her head.
"It was probably Black coming back from his date with Leslie." Lily replied, laughing nervously at her friend, who was hidden under the comforter.
"Sirius had a date with someone?" Audrey asked, forehead furrowed with confusion as she came out from under her covers.
Lily clasped a hand to her mouth. She shouldn't have let that slip. Sure Sirius Black fooled with girls, but a girlfriend wasn't really his big thing. If you had Sirius as a boyfriend, then that was a huge honor. Lily knew that Audrey had a crush on him, like every other normal schoolgirl, but it would hurt her to know that he had picked a girlfriend.
"No! Not Sirius Black. I meant, er, John Black!" Lily covered up quickly, hoping Audrey would fall for it.
She looked at her sceptically, not really believing her best friend.
"Are you sure that it wasn't Sirius Black that you were talking about?" Audrey asked doubtfully.
"Positive." Lily lied. She fell back on to her pillow, dozing off to sleep immediately.
*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
James yawned as he got out of bed. It seemed like Sirius, Remus and Peter had already left for breakfast.
"What friends they are!" James muttered to himself as he slipped his shirt over his head. For a few minutes, he struggled to fasten his tie (A/N-your VERY lucky that I didn't say 'tie his tie'!), but in the end, he just left it hanging around his neck. He knew that all the girls, except a few perhaps, went wild when he did that. He had no idea why, though.
James walked down the stairs, heading straight to the Common Room. Now that Leslie was Sirius' beloved, and beautiful, girlfriend, he dreaded eating in the Great Hall. Maybe today he would simply not have breakfast, just to avoid that devil of a woman.
James flopped onto a couch, arms stretched out. He closed his eyes, thinking of Lily and how completely amazing she was. Then his thoughts shifted to Sirius and Leslie, the newly made couple.
A bang sounded from the portrait hole. James jumped up; surprised that someone was in the Common Room. Every Gryffindor went to breakfast, and then straight to class. Usually.
"Oh! There you are, James!" A breathless voice exclaimed.
James turned from his position to see Lily standing next to the Fat Lady's portrait. Her silky red hair was down, ending at her elbows. Her eyes glowed as she looked at him. She grinned and bounced over to him.
"I was wondering where you were! When you didn't come down to breakfast, I guessed you were still here," Lily said, seating herself next to James, "What ARE you doing up here, anyway?"
"Oh, nothing really. Just-er, laying around, I suppose." James answered lightly. He was amazing that she could even care where he was. An improvement at least.
"Well, you'll never guess what happened!" She said, chuckling to herself.
James looked confused.
"What?"
"Peter Pettigrew, your friend, came in completely bald!" She laughed.
"Pete?" James asked to confirm. Peter Pettigrew, his fellow Marauder, bald? Nah.
"Yes! It was so funny! Too bad we didn't have a camera!" Lily sniggered.
"I didn't think ole Pete would to such a thing, on purpose especially!" James said, bewildered.
"But isn't it funny?" Lily asked, grinning.
"Nope. Sorry."
"Yes!"
"No!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
James started to tickle Lily, making her shriek out loud. She laughed for ages, trying to free herself from James' grasp.
"St-Stop!" She managed to get out, gasping for breath.
The portrait hole opened, and in came in Sirius, Remus and the bald Peter following behind. Sirius' mouth dropped open wide when he saw Lily and James.
He nudged Remus in the ribs, and still gaping, said, "Is that Lily Evans?"
Remus nodded, surprised himself.
"This isn't normal!" He exclaimed loudly, causing James to stop torturing Lily and look up.
"Hey Sirius! Remus! Pet-" James stopped, getting up and staring at Peter.
"Pe-Pete!" He stuttered, "Sorry, but WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" He yelled, making Peter back away into a sofa, making him fall on it.
Sirius grabbed James' arm, whispering, "He's shocked too."
James scowled and stood back from his friend.
"This is ridiculous!" He snorted, still looking at Peter with amazement.
"Is it?" Lily spoke up.
All four boys turned their attention to her. It was the first thing she had said since they had entered, except with James.
"Let him have the, er, haircut he wants." She added.
"All right. But it's still absurd!" James agreed, holding his hand out to Peter to help him up off the couch.
"Shall we go to the classes now?" Remus proposed.
Everyone consented. They walked through the portrait hole and separated to their individual classes. Lily had Charms with James, lucky for him.
As they were walking down the crazy, noisy and wild corridors together, James decided to ask Lily a question he hadn't asked her a long time.
"Lily?"
"Hmm?" She replied, staring straight ahead.
The two had developed a comfortable friendship over the past few weeks. James was hesitant to break it, but he had wanted something more all along.
"Will you go out with me?" He said hopefully.
Lily's eyes flickered up to his, looking hurt.
"I'm so sorry James. But I'm just not ready for something like that." She replied, looking at her feet.
Disappointed, James patted her back awkwardly.
"I'm sorry too."
*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
The Marauders were eating dinner. Sirius was talking animatedly to James when he felt a light tap on his shoulder. He stopped conversing and looked up to find Leslie smiling sugary down at him.
"Oh! Les! What a terrib-great surprise!" He said, covering up his mistake quickly.
James sniggered, along with Lily who was sitting next to him. It was clear that Sirius didn't like Leslie at all.
"Siri-poo! Aren't you happy to see me?" She cried, squishing herself between Sirius and James. James rolled his eyes and muttered in his friend's ear, "Dump her."
Sirius looked at James doubtfully.
"Of course I am! You brighten my day!" He replied.
Lily couldn't help but giggle. James laughed too.
"What are you two sniggering about?" Leslie asked with her eyebrows raised high, almost disappearing into her envied brown hair.
"Oh. Don't mind them! They just, er, drank to much pumpkin juice!" Sirius said reassuringly.
"Right. Whatever you say, my little Siri-poo!"
Audrey Trical looked at the brown-haired girl when she said 'Siri-poo'. Audrey sniggered, wondering if this was one of Sirius Black's fans, just looking for attention.
"All right. Hey, Leslie honey, why don't we talk a walk?" Sirius then said, getting up suddenly, pulling a baffled Leslie up with him.
Audrey sighed. Lily, her best friend, had known that Sirius had a girlfriend. Oh well, she would never get him, like lots of other girls. She brushed her brown hair out of her eyes and kept on eating her supper, being quiet, which no one noticed.
*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
"James!" Sirius yelled angrily.
"Wait a second!" James shouted back.
All the Marauders were in their dormitory, trying to prepare for a prank that they had planned only the night before. James had gone into the bathroom and stolen Sirius' shaving cream to use in the prank. Sirius was, of course, mad that they had to use his, not Remus' or James', or even Peter's.
James jumped out of the boys' restroom with his best friend's shaving cream in his hand. He grinned sheepishly.
"But, my friend, we decided to use yours!" He said.
"Not with MY permission!" Sirius retorted.
"Uh-huh!"
"Un-un!"
"Yes!"
"NO! Now give it back!"
"Nope!"
Sirius made a snatch, but was to slow for James' quick reflexes.
"Stop it, you two. We just won't do the prank." Remus said, tired of their foolish fighting.
"NO! We can't POSSIBLY cancel a prank!" James yelled.
"He's right! Pranks are the MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WHOLE WIDE WIDE WIDE WIDE WIDE WIDE-" Sirius shouted, but was interrupted by Remus saying, "We get it Sirius!"
"But it is true! Why would we cancel a PRANK?" James tried to reason.
"Maybe because Sirius is the only one with shaving cream?" Remus asked, looking at the expression on his friends faces change.
"Oh yeah!" James recalled, smacking himself in the forehead.
"So, lets drop the prank?" Remus asked, hope in his thoughts.
"NO!" His friends said together.
Remus sighed. He would never, ever convince them.
*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
"Lily?" Audrey asked.
"Yeah?" She answered.
Lily and Audrey, plus several other girls were in one of Gryffindor's girls' dormitories. It was 10 o'clock at night, and everyone was fumbling around and trying to get into their bed.
Audrey was lying on her bed, facing Lily's, which was right next to hers.
"Why didn't you tell me about Sirius and his new girlfriend?" Audrey said, a little hurt.
"I just didn't want to hurt your feelings. I know that you like him, so . . . yeah." Lily replied.
"I do not!" Audrey shrieked indignantly. She grabbed her pillow and threw it at Lily.
Lily laughed and threw it back at her friend.
"Oh yes you do!" She teased, grinning at Audrey.
"Nope!"
"Yep!"
"Nooo!"
"Yeees!"
Audrey tossed the pillow back at Lily, who was starting to get on her nerves.
"NO I DON'T!" She yelled, but smiling none-the-less.
The rest of the girls in their dorm shouted, "SHUT UP!"
*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
The next day, Wednesday, was a rainy one. This didn't bother James Potter, though. In fact he loved the rain. It was sort of like starting a brand new, cleansed day, free of anything bad. But, of course, that was wrong.
There was always the ever-annoying Leslie, who would never stop getting what she wanted. And there was Voldemort. Always Voldemort.
However, the life of James Potter could be much better. If only he had Lily to hold, to like (A/N-it's not LOVEEE yet!). Lily was at least his friend, which was very good. She didn't seem to hate him anymore, now it was just the opposite. She laughed with him, and talked with him frequently. James was very glad that when he asked Lily to go out with him, that it hadn't ruined their fragile friendship.
Classes that day started off like usual. Nothing huge happened, except for Leslie breaking down crying in the middle of her first class, startling everyone.
At lunch, Sirius was more upbeat and cheerful, if that was possible.
"Siri, man, why are you so . . . happy?" James asked curiously.
"Well, I suppose it's because of the riddance of that Leslie girl." He replied, munching on some chicken wings.
"You dumped her?" James said incredulously.
"Yep," Sirius answered, "How can you be so surprised? You were right, she IS the devil!"
"Glad you think I'm right! Finally!" He said, smiling at his spaghetti.
"You're in love with your pasta, aren't you James?" A female voice said in his ear.
James saw Lily seat herself next to him out of the corner of his eye.
"Yep! He definitely has!" Sirius confirmed.
Lily grinned.
"He's so infatuated with it that he can't hear us!" She joked.
James blinked and stopped staring at his spaghetti.
"No! I certainly haven't fallen in love with it! I'm in love with-" James stopped suddenly, realizing what secret he was about to let out.
"In love with who exactly, Jamie-poo?" Sirius cooed, imitating Leslie pretty well.
"AH! Don't you DARE call me that!" James bellowed.
"He was just joking!" Lily laughed lightly, putting a hand on his arm.
"I know! But, yuck! It reminds me of that horrid Leslie!" He retorted, glancing over at the Hufflepuff table to see if she was there.
"Hey! Where is she?" James added, confused.
"Who?" Lily asked, trying to look where James was gazing.
"The devil!"
"She's not there?" Sirius asked.
"Nope. Wonder whe-" James started, but was broken off by an angry voice.
"Wondering where I am?" The gorgeous, but infuriating girl was standing with her hands on her hips.
"Speak of the devil." Sirius muttered under his breath so only Lily and James could hear.
They sniggered. Sirius was the first to speak to Leslie.
"Hello." He said, in a tone that plainly stated that he was bored.
"Why were you talking about me?" She said, getting straight to the point.
"Is that any of your business?" Lily asked, glaring at the curly, brown- haired girl.
"Yes, it is." She responded, taking a good look at Lily.
"No, it isn't." James settled.
Leslie ignored his remark and said to Lily, "You've got what it takes, but you just don't know it."
"For what?" Lily said, looking confused.
"Being the next devil." James snorted.
Lily smiled but still gazed at Leslie for an answer.
"Forget it."
"All right. Now please go away; you're getting on all of our nerves." Sirius said, going back to his lunch.
"Fine. But I hate you for what you did, both of you." Leslie said, indicating James and Sirius.
"What an idiot." The messy, black-haired boy said to Sirius and Lily.
"For once, I agree." Lily grinned.
"That's not the first time you've agreed with me!" James retorted.
"Oh, I think it is." She said playfully.
"No. I KNOW for a fact hat you've agreed with me!" He said firmly.
"Give me an example, Mr. Know-It-All." Lily said, grinning.
"Uh . . .er . . ." James said, trying to think of a time. He just KNEW that she had had the same opinion as him, at least once!
"Never! See?" Lily smirked at him.
"Nooo! I'm still thinking!" He said, pouting.
"You'll be thinking for ages, you know?" She said, smiling at him while he 'thought'.
"Oh come on! There's at least one time!" James whined.
Lily shook her head and said, "Nope!"
"Okay, lovebirds! You're both deranged! Can we go to class now?" Sirius pleading.
Lily blushed. Lovebirds?

The next day, Wednesday, was a rainy one. This didn't bother James Potter, though. In fact he loved the rain. It was sort of like starting a brand new, cleansed day, free of anything bad. But, of course, that was wrong.
There was always the ever-annoying Leslie, who would never stop getting what she wanted. And there was Voldemort. Always Voldemort.
However, the life of James Potter could be much better. If only he had Lily to hold, to like (A/N-it's not LOVEEE yet!). Lily was at least his friend, which was very good. She didn't seem to hate him anymore, now it was just the opposite. She laughed with him, and talked with him frequently. James was very glad that when he asked Lily to go out with him, that it hadn't ruined their fragile friendship.
Classes that day started off like usual. Nothing huge happened, except for Leslie breaking down crying in the middle of her first class, startling everyone.
At lunch, Sirius was more upbeat and cheerful, if that was possible.
"Siri, man, why are you so . . . happy?" James asked curiously.
"Well, I suppose it's because of the riddance of that Leslie girl." He replied, munching on some chicken wings.
"You dumped her?" James said incredulously.
"Yep," Sirius answered, "How can you be so surprised? You were right, she IS the devil!"
"Glad you think I'm right! Finally!" He said, smiling at his spaghetti.
"You're in love with your pasta, aren't you James?" A female voice said in his ear.
James saw Lily seat herself next to him out of the corner of his eye.
"Yep! He definitely has!" Sirius confirmed.
Lily grinned.
"He's so infatuated with it that he can't hear us!" She joked.
James blinked and stopped staring at his spaghetti.
"No! I certainly haven't fallen in love with it! I'm in love with-" James stopped suddenly, realizing what secret he was about to let out.
"In love with who exactly, Jamie-poo?" Sirius cooed, imitating Leslie pretty well.
"AH! Don't you DARE call me that!" James bellowed.
"He was just joking!" Lily laughed lightly, putting a hand on his arm.
"I know! But, yuck! It reminds me of that horrid Leslie!" He retorted, glancing over at the Hufflepuff table to see if she was there.
"Hey! Where is she?" James added, confused.
"Who?" Lily asked, trying to look where James was gazing.
"The devil!"
"She's not there?" Sirius asked.
"Nope. Wonder whe-" James started, but was broken off by an angry voice.
"Wondering where I am?" The gorgeous, but infuriating girl was standing with her hands on her hips.
"Speak of the devil." Sirius muttered under his breath so only Lily and James could hear.
They sniggered. Sirius was the first to speak to Leslie.
"Hello." He said, in a tone that plainly stated that he was bored.
"Why were you talking about me?" She said, getting straight to the point.
"Is that any of your business?" Lily asked, glaring at the curly, brown- haired girl.
"Yes, it is." She responded, taking a good look at Lily.
"No, it isn't." James settled.
Leslie ignored his remark and said to Lily, "You've got what it takes, but you just don't know it."
"For what?" Lily said, looking confused.
"Being the next devil." James snorted.
Lily smiled but still gazed at Leslie for an answer.
"Forget it."
"All right. Now please go away; you're getting on all of our nerves." Sirius said, going back to his lunch.
"Fine. But I hate you for what you did, both of you." Leslie said, indicating James and Sirius.
"What an idiot." The messy, black-haired boy said to Sirius and Lily.
"For once, I agree." Lily grinned.
"That's not the first time you've agreed with me!" James retorted.
"Oh, I think it is." She said playfully.
"No. I KNOW for a fact hat you've agreed with me!" He said firmly.
"Give me an example, Mr. Know-It-All." Lily said, grinning.
"Uh . . .er . . ." James said, trying to think of a time. He just KNEW that she had had the same opinion as him, at least once!
"Never! See?" Lily smirked at him.
"Nooo! I'm still thinking!" He said, pouting.
"You'll be thinking for ages, you know?" She said, smiling at him while he 'thought'.
"Oh come on! There's at least one time!" James whined.
Lily shook her head and said, "Nope!"
"Okay, lovebirds! You're both deranged! Can we go to class now?" Sirius pleading.
Lily blushed. Lovebirds?
