*Chapter 2*
"Good-bye sweet-pea, have a good term!" Maria Evans said as she hugged her youngest daughter. Before Lily pulled away and started towards the barrier, her father was at work, and Petunia had refused to come. She heard her mother call after her "Don't forget to write!" before she closed her eyes and walked casually threw the barrier. Appearing on the other side, she smiled as she saw the enormous red train.
As she walked towards the train a few people waved and said hello. Spotting Alice, entering a compartment she started to make her way over trying to attract her friends' attention to no avail. Sighing, she reached the door, and pulled it open to show Alice, being talked to in a not-so- friendly manner, by Serveus Snape, a Slytherin a year above.
".worthless mudblood lover"
"Go away Snape"
"I don't think I want to, I'll wait for your mudblood friend to come find you, and put her in her place."
"What did you call Lily?" Alice's voice had become a deadly whisper.
Lily, taking advantage of the fact, she hadn't been noticed standing outside the compartment, pulled out her wand, and proceeded to hex Snape.
"Capellit rosar" she muttered "neon tutar verdet, silencio". Alice noticing the sudden change in Snape's outfit glanced around wildly for the source. Spotting Lily, she grinned.
"Nice outfit Snape" Lily said as she lugged her trunk into the compartment, and slid it under a seat. Snape tried to speak, but no words came out. Lily raised an eyebrow "cat got your tongue?" He glared murderously at her before storming out of the compartment. The two girls collapsed in laughter, Alice managing to choke out "God.. Lils, that was.his face.." The train had started moving before the two stopped laughing.
"So Ali. Frank said he would owl you, did he?" Lily asked, not having seen her friend since she left May's house.
Alice blushed, but smiled "Yeah. he did"
"WELL."
"We owled back and forth for the rest of the summer." Alice was saved from further interrogation, by the compartment door sliding open, revealing a tall, quite athletic looking boy with brown hair, and brown eyes. "Hey Lily! Alice," He said, sitting down next to Lily
"Hey Todd," Alice replied.
"Hey" Lily said kissing him on the cheek. "How was your summer?"
"It was great, Jim and me" he started, referring to his older brother
"Jim and I" Lily corrected absentmindedly interrupting him.
"Yeah. well. We went to the quiddich cup, Ireland, versus Spain, great game."
"That's great Todd."
"Yeah, so how was yours?"
"It was fun, I got to spend a week with Aunt May."
"Sounds fun, well I guess I'll go find my friends now, See you later Lily!" he said giving her a quick kiss before exiting the compartment.
"I see what you mean. about it being routine." Alice said after a minute.
"Yeah.. I want to." that was as far as she got before they heard commotion in the hallway, and went to the door to see what it was. Opening the door they saw, James and his best friend Sirius Black, doubled over with laughter, further down the hall was Snape in the neon green jumpsuit, with bright pink hair Lily had put him in earlier, seemingly trying to yell, but the silencing spell was still on, apparently, no one had found it convenient to take it off. Lily grinned, took out her wand pointed it at Snape, before he spotted her. His eyes widened, then turned into a glare, before he turned on his heel and walked away. Alice was leaning on the door frame for support she was laughing so hard. James then noticed Lily standing in the doorway of her compartment twirling her wand, a smirk on her face.
"YOU!!"
"Yup" she chuckled "he was bothering Alice, called me a mudblood, not to my face, but I'm sure he would of if he knew I was there, Best part, he wont be able to change it till after the feast."
Alice had sobered enough to manage to say "No Lils, that's not the best part, the best part is he ran when he saw you going for your wand" They all snickered.
"I know not to get on your bad side then." James said grinning.
"That's a good idea, she has a spitfire temper," Alice chimed in. "James you know these lovely ladies?" Sirius asked curiously, the tall, shaggy black haired, muscular teen with brilliant blue eyes, eyeing the girls.
"Oh right, Lily, Alice, this is Sirius, Sirius, Lily and Alice," He said pointing to them.
"Enchanté," Sirius said kissing Lily's hand, she rolled her eyes, but played along, pretending to swoon. Before stage whispering to Alice "HE TOUCHED ME!" They all laughed.
"Well lovely ladies, we must be moving along! See you at Hogwarts!"
James rolled his eyes. "See you round Lily, Alice."
"Bye Jay! Sirius."
"Buh bye!" Alice said, going back into the compartment, Lily right behind her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So how come you know them and I don't Prongs?" Sirius asked as the boys resumed walking down the corridor.
James shrugged. "I bumped into them over the summer."
"Oh, well Alice is hot."
James rolled his eyes "Sirius leave Alice alone."
"Why?"
"1) She's actually really nice 2) Franks got dibs 3) well.. I haven't actually thought of one yet, but I'll get back to you if I do." They had reached their compartment by this time, and pulled the door open.
"Hey Moony, Wormtail" they two looked up from their game of chess. Remus Lupin, the third Marauder, also known as moony, had dark dirty blond hair, and gray eyes, that at the moment had bags under them. Peter Pettigrew the last marauder was slightly shorter than the other three, and slightly chubbier, with blond hair, and dark brown, almost black, eyes.
"Hey Guys."
"so" said Sirius, clapping his hands "Start-of-term prank! Has to be big this year. What are we going to do?"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The train slowed to a stop at Hogsmead station. Lily and Alice, exited their compartment, and started towards the carriages. Lily could see the thestrals the pulled the carriages, she had been able to see them since Christmas break, in her fourth year, after seeing her grandmother die. Waving merrily at Hagrid, the games keeper who the two girls were friendly with, the two girls climbed into a carriage, unfortunately, it was occupied by a person the girls were not keen on seeing, Cindy Fethmore. The girl was a Hufflepuff in their year, who happened to have a huge crush on Todd, lily's boyfriend, therefore, she despised Lily. Cindy glared at them as they walked in, well mostly Lily, but Alice had turned her normally light- brown hair purple last year after she had called Lily a slut, so the glare wasn't only directed at lily. Lily groaned when she saw the girl and turned the exit the carriage, but the door snapped shut, and the carriage started moving.
"Great just fucking great" she muttered as she sat down as far away from Cindy as possible. The rest of the ride was spent in silence, with Cindy glaring at the two girls, and Lily and Alice annoyed they had to spend the time with the girl. As soon as the carriage stopped, Lily was out the door in a flash, making for the great hall, Alice on her heels.
"Lily, slow down! The food wont be their anyway, we have to wait for the sorting!" Alice said panting
Lily smiled sheepishly slowing down "sorry, I just cant stand her."
"Me neither, the bitch, but this reminds me, what were you going to say before the whole Snape thing?"
"oh. right. I was saying, I think I want to break up with him, but I don't want to hurt him, I mean, its been what, a year and a half?, it just. well you saw."
"Yeah, your right, just tell him the truth."
"I think I will, Thanks Ali." Lily smiled as She and Alice, took their seats at the Ravenclaw Table. "So anyways."
"Hey Lily" Lily smiled as Todd slipped into the seat next to her.
"Hey Todd, Listen, Do you want to go for a walk after the feast? I want to talk to you."
"Yeah, ok." He replied before starting a conversation with his friends about quiddich.
Lily sighed and turned back to Alice, to find her staring at Frank. Noticing someone sitting down across from her she smiled at her dorm mates, she got along with them well, they didn't hang out to much though. "Hey Dawn, Delia."
"Hi Lily" the two said.
"How where your summers?"
"Oh mine was fine, I didn't get to go anywhere though, just sat around by the pool or on the couch, pretty boring actually, I'm glad we're back," Dawn said happily. Dawn Nelson was about 5'6, with long black hair, and purplish-blue eyes. Her mother was a muggle, and her father was a wizard. Her best friend was Delia Clemons a pureblood witch, who was about the same height, but with shoulder length brown hair, and chocolate brown eyes.
"Mine was a blast, My parents took Corby and I to Ireland, to visit our grandparents, we made friends with some of the locals, Plus, Corby and I talked a lot, we haven't since we started school, I missed him since he was put in Gryffindor so I didn't see him to often, but I got my twin back!" Delia answered. "How was yours?"
"Oh it was alright, Petunia was being a bother, but I got to spend the week before my birthday with Aunt May, OH! You'll never guess what she got me for my birthday!"
"What?"
"Take three guess's first."
"What are you talking about?" Alice asked
"Come out of Frank land have you?" Lily joked, watching her friend blush. "They're trying to guess what Aunt May got me for my birthday."
"oh you mean" Lily slapped her hand over Alice's mouth
"Guessing meaning you don't tell them." Alice grinned sheepishly in response.
"Hrmm." Dawn hummed "A car?"
"No"
"A trip, to the beach or something." Delia asked
"Not even close" Lily said grinning. Their conversation was interrupted by the first years trooping in. Lead by a jolly looking man, Lily recognized, as the Defense against the Dark arts teacher, Professor Amico, also the Deputy Headmaster. As the sorting started Lily scanned the group of nervous first years, coming to rest on a small girl with her dark brown hair in two braids, she was biting her lip and watching the others get sorted. Lily smiled, The girl reminded her of how she had felt when she was about to get sorted. Soon enough the sorting was over, and Dumbledore stood up.
"Welcome new students, and welcome back old students. Since I assume your all hungry from your journey eat now, listen later." The headmaster then sat back down, as the food appeared on the table. But people didn't get as far as dishing up, when loud bangs were heard. Looking up, fireworks were going off everywhere, dropping little bags of powder as they went, which fell down and changed people's hair color, or skin color, this went on for about 10 minutes, before their was one last explosion causing all the professors to have Red skin and gold hair, and a floating message was seen "Welcome Back Hogwarts - The Marauders" Dumbledore stood up again "Well. while I love seeing house pride and I do love a good prank, I still have to give you four a detention, the usual place at the usual time tomorrow" and with a wave of his wand everything was set straight, including the interesting ensemble Lily had given Snape previously.
After the commotion of the prank died down the girls resumed talking.
"Back to what Lily's present was," Delia said grabbing a roll
"I don't know.. a guitar?" Dawn asked serving herself mashed potatoes.
"Nope," Lily grinned.
"Oh just tell us already!" Delia said waving her fork around and sending a piece of broccoli flying to the table behind her, the Slytherin table, it happened to hit Snape. Who looked around wildly looking for the culprit, but couldn't seem to figure out who had thrown the vegetable, so eyes narrowed at the marauders, even though they were really to far away to have thrown it, he went back to eating.
"Opps."Delia said but she was trying not to laugh.
"Oh God." lily started
"That was Fan-damn-Tastik De!" Dawn finished Lily's comment. And the four girls laughed at what they later refereed to as "The attack of the flying vegetables." And Lily's present was forgotten, as they moved on to talking about the new school year. Soon dinner was done, and Dumbledore stood up again.
"I realize you're tired, but you'll have to bear with me for a little while. Firstly, I would inform the first years, and remind some older students, that the Forbidden Forest, is indeed forbidden, and yes Mr. Black, that mean you cannot go in there, And to remind everyone to stay away from the Whomping Willow, unless you a long trip to the hospital wing," Dumbledore eyes twinkled as he spoke "Also, older students might notice the absence of Professor Lee, the transfiguration professor, he has retired, but taking his place will be Professor McGonagall." He gestured to the tall, brown haired women. Who stood, nodded at the students with a slight smile, and sat back down "some of the older students might remember her, she graduated five years ago. Moving on, the caretaker, Mr. Filch has added quite a few items to those forbidden in the corridors; check his office door for the complete list. You are dismissed, would the head students James potter, and Felicity Moore please come see me now. Prefects lead the first years to the houses, Have a good night."
Lily turned away from the headmaster to her boyfriend. "Ready?" she asked standing up.
"Yeah where to?"
"Let's just take the long way to the common room."
"Alright" With that the two moved with the crowed until they came to a corridor which would take them away from the crowd but still to the Ravenclaw common room. "Todd?" Lily asked after a few minutes, at the same time he said "Lily?"
They smiled at each other and both said "you first" they chuckled a bit.
Lily finally decided to speak "Todd, I think... well. I think our whole relationship is getting a bit. well.. for lack of a better word, routine, and well. I think we should break up."
"You noticed that to hu?" he said glancing at her out of the corner of his eye "yeah, I was going to say the same thing. You just did it first."
"Oh.. so. friends?" she asked him as they reached the Ravenclaw portrait and she said the password. "Candita"
Climbing through he replied "yeah, friends." They shared a quick hug before climbing up opposite stairs to their dorms.
Lily entered her dorm, to find the three girls waiting.
"How did it go?" Alice asked as soon as she entered.
"How did what go?" Dawn asked, looking confused, Delia sharing the look.
"Oh, I broke up with Todd." Lily shrugged.
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"No its cool, it was a mutual thing, our relationship was basically a habit, not really their, we're still friends." Lily said grabbing a pair of pajamas and heading for the bathroom. She was brushing her teeth when Delia yelled from the other room "Hey Lily, you never did tell us what your aunt got you for your birthday."
"Oh right" Lily replied walking out of the bathroom. She lifted her shirt to reveal her new piercing.
"Wicked Lily!" Dawn said as she saw it. Delia who was reading expecting lily's answer to be spoken looked up.
"Oh wow! That's Awesome, your aunts really cool."
"Yeah, May's a blast."
"I heard you were the one who put Snape in a green jumpsuit, with pink hair and no voice Lily" Dawn said grinning "is that the truth?"
Lily grinned "He was bothering Alice, about me, couldn't let him get away with it."
"why was he bothering Alice about you?"
Lily shrugged "I'm a muggle born, or quote unquote mudblood."
"You but, why would he go seek you out?" Delia asked.
Lily just shrugged and climbed into bed "Don't ask me to think like a Slytherin, my brain doesn't work that way. Good night guys"
$********$!$********$!$********$!$********$!$********$!$********$!$********$ !$********$!$********$!$********$!$********$!$********$!$********$!
Yay. sorry about having almost no lily- James time. but... they will. so until next time.. Which might be soon if I don't get better soon.
Oh yes... I tried to fix punctuation and etc in the first chapter. So I changed the wording a bit, but nothing else.
