Disclaimer: I don't own Lily, James or any character you recognize. Although if I did, I wouldn't have killed any of them. (The OotP death upset me very much. My summer sucked because of it.)

A/N: Thanks to all the people who have reviewed. I looked in my mailbox and I had like 25 new e-mails!! So happy!! I'm going to try to make this chapter longer. but I only have a half hour, so I don't know if I can, but I'll try!!

When James reached his friends, Sirius said "I think one of those girls stole my underwear!"

James turned, and sure enough, one of Lily's friends was showing the group a garment of clothing.

"What's her name? Amanda? Amelia? I don't know, but she's fancied you for awhile now Sirius," Remus said, craning his neck to try to get a good look at the girls. The boys all started loading their when Sirius stopped suddenly and looked at James chest.

"What? I'm not that voluptuous am I?" James asked Sirius jokingly. Sirius looked horrified. When James saw this look on his best friend's face, he became serious (a/n: no pun intended) and said, "Mate, what's up? Is everything ok?"



Sirius said nothing but slowly raised his hand and pointed to the Head Boy badge. "What- Is- That?" He asked repulsed. Then his face relaxed and he said "Oh. ok. What prat did you nick it from?"

James turned red and turned away. "I didn't nick it from anyone. Dumbledore sent it to me. I guess I get to be Head prat this year. At least I can get you out of detention." James said hopefully. He hated disappointing Sirius.



Sirius' face relaxed again. "Oh, ok. At least you didn't want the job."

James' face split into a grin. "Right! Oh, but guess who Head girl is this year. None other than my future wife, Lily Evans!" His friends exchanged looks of understanding. James had been lusting after Lily since the beginning of fourth year. "You know, late nights patrolling the halls together- who knows what could happen? I might have to lay a little of the Potter charm on her!" Peter, Sirius and Remus all rolled their eyes and got back to loading the trunks.



One the four marauders finished loading their trunks, they went to bid farewell to their parents. Once that was done and the parents had apparated, the boys climbed on the train. They found a compartment to themselves and then James and Remus trudged off to the Prefect meeting. Lily was already there and directing people where to sit. Once all of the prefects had arrived, Lily went into a big speech about the responsibilities and duties of the prefects. James sat there, staring at Lily, but didn't take in a word she said.

When the meeting had finally let out, James and Remus clambered back to the compartment where Sirius and Peter were. When they arrived, they had a pleasant surprise. All three of Lily's friends from earlier were chatting with Sirius and Remus. James recognized one of the girls as the one who stole Sirius' underwear. James and Remus sat down and the girls introduced themselves.

"Amanda," said a girl with blond hair and bright blue eyes. She was the one who had stolen Sirius' underwear. She was sitting so close to Sirius that she was almost in his lap. He didn't seem to have any objection to this.

"Selina Gloutonlouve." She had dark brown hair to her waist and piercing aquamarine eyes. She had a book in her lap and it looked like she wanted to tune out the conversation and curl up in a corner and read. (a/n: Some of you may have noticed that my name is Selina, but I didn't name the character after myself. My name means something in ancient Greek that is important to the story. Also, the last name is a combo of two French words. If you want to, try to find out why it is important and then leave me a review letting my know. I'll send you an entire chapter early if you're the first to find out!)

"Marissa Espion." She has mousy brown hair and squinty brown eyes. She had glasses and she was eyeing Peter with serious interest. (a/n: Marissa is my sister's name, and I don't like her, so I figured I'd make her a yucky character. Also, Espion means something like brat in French, so it fits her perfectly.)

Just then, Lily burst in looking for her friends. She spotted Selina and said "I thought we already had a compartment."

Selina shrugged and said "They made me move."

Marissa, without taking her eyes off of Peter said dreamily "We were bored without you and Selina buried herself in her book. So we came in here and these boys kept us entertained."

"Fine, OK." Just then Lily looked around at the company and groaned.

"Hey Lily, want to hear a joke? Sirius asked quite innocently.

"Not reall-" but she was cut off by Sirius.

"Ok, great. How do you know your child is a wizard?"

"I don't know Sirius. He can bounce? (a/n: Reminiscent of Neville Longbottom)"Lily asked exasperatedly. "Wrong!" Sirius shouted gleefully. "You know your child is a wizard when you catch him in the bathroom polishing his wand! Get it?"

Everyone burst out laughing except for Lily and Peter. Peter looked thoroughly confused and Lily was wearing a disapproving look on her face.

"Ha ha. Hilarious. Quite amusing. Lovely." Lily said sarcastically.

"11 inches. right here baby!" James interrupted her and pulled out his 11 inch mahogany wand.

"I don't get it." Said Peter. With that he pulled out his five-inch wand and said "It only takes me a few minutes to polish this. It's only 5 inches long. Really short."

Everyone burst out laughing, and this time, even Lily couldn't contain herself. Peter looked around the room, dumbfounded and said once again, "I don't get it!"

Author's Note: Thank you everyone who reviewed me!!

Lupenlee: Sorry that this it has been too short. I hope you think this is a little bit longer. I'm banned from my computer at home so I have to type during Study Hall and do homework, so it's a little difficult.

Cinnamonflamez: Thanks for the congrats. I will continue it, unless I get to bored with typing!

XoPiXiEdUsT8oX: Thanks. I love your stories too!

Professor Elionwy Mayvero: I would love to join your role playing website. When I get a chance, I'll go there.

Dearc Aillse: I would absolutely love it if she wrote a James and Lily story. I think that although they aren't really mentioned all that often, they are two of her best characters. Oh, and all of the rest of the Marauders. Except for Wormtail of course. Can you tell I hate him?

Lucy-Bloom: Sorry about the format thing from earlier. I hope the way I set it up this time made it easier to read and follow. If not, let me know and I'll try something else! Oh, just a question. is the second part of your screen name because of Orlando Bloom. because if it is, you have good taste!!

PhoenixTears13: Sorry that the chapters are too short, but I try to update as much as possible. The reason they're short is listed above somewhere. Glad you like it!!

Yay!! I didn't get any really negative reviews! Thanks so much for reviewing. I hope that this chapter part seems a little longer. Also, don't think that I'm a dirty person because of the wand joke. I got that off of David Letterman. If you don't understand it, let me know and I'll be more than happy to explain it to you. Happy reading!
