Chapter Two
A few hours later, James, Lily, and the gang woke up and changed into their school robes. They ate the last of their goodies and made sure they had everything before getting off of the train. They had to split up because there wasn't enough room for them all. Lily, James, and Sirius went into one carriage. Anna, Emily, Remus, and Peter went into another.
They all talked about different things to be done this year. They hoped for more Hogsmade weekends and other things. James and Sirius talked about different pranks they could pull.
~*~
All of the students entered the hall, excited to be back to their true home. They sat together at the Gryffindor table. James sat next to Lily with Sirius on her other side. On the other side of the table, Remus sat next to Anna with Emily on her other side, and then Peter.
As they were talking, a brown haired girl ran into the room hugging Lily from behind. Lily turned to see who it was, and smiled. She was 5'8 with blue eyes. She was also very pretty and on the slim side. Lily grinned at her friend as she sat next to Sirius. All the girls knew she had a HUGE crush on the infamous Sirius Black.
"Hey Ailisa. How's your summer? Why weren't you on the train?" Lily asked her best friend.
"Get this. Marc forgot to get up early this morning so we missed the train. Sam and I were so mad at him. We had to get a ministry official to come and get us. I was so embarrassed. My summer was lonely though. I wish I could've seen you more often," Ailisa Jones smiled sadly at her friend.
Lily returned the smile. Lily felt so bad for her friend. She was an orphan living with her twin brothers Sam and Marc Jones. Her parents were killed on duty because they were aurors. They were poor and had to work in the summer for extra money. It was a hard life.
Just then the first years came bustling through the door looking very frightened. They all remembered how frightened they were. Lily remembered that day. James and Sirius had told them all that a dragon was going to eat them unless they knew a counter curse. If they didn't know one, they would be eaten and wouldn't become a witch or wizard.

After the feast Dumbledore made his speech.
"Hello students. Welcome back to Hogwarts. Just a reminder that the Whomping Willow and Forbidden Forest are off limits. If you would like to join the infamous Marauders in detention, just go against the rules." James and Sirius stood up proudly at that remark. Lily had to pull them back down. "Yes well, prefects, you may lead the students to your houses now."
Remus and Lily told them the password, because they were prefects, they had to lead the first years.

When everyone had gone to bed at midnight, Lily and James stayed up talking.
"Congratulations on becoming prefect Lils. I knew that you would do it."
"Thanks James."
"Lily, what do you think love is?" Lily looked at James like he had three heads.
"I mean, I was reading this book and it said something about love in it. I was just wondering what you thought about it."
"Well, I guess love is something that everyone needs. When you lave someone, you would do anything for that person. You would die to protect them. Everything melts away when you are near that person. Nothing else in the world matters. When you're not with them, you yearn to be with them. It doesn't matter what they do, even if it's bad, because you love them," Lily finished.
James just looked at her. She said that with so much emotion. Who does she love? "I think it's time for bed James," Lily said. With that she went upstairs. She didn't trust herself enough to just sit there with him. She might just leap on him and smother him in kisses. God, why did she say all that?
"Goodnight Lily." James said sadly. He felt like he lost something special.
