Hey! This is crystal109, coming in with another chappie! ^_^ kay, right now
I have a sorta writer's block, so, yeah. Also, OWLS are in sixth year,
right? Thanx a lot for telling me!
Disclaimer: blah blah blah, J.K Rowling made the story of Harry Potter, thus he isn't mine, but the rest of the story is! =)
Summary: Lily received a letter with a note telling her about the tournament between the fifth years. She's in charge, along with James Potter. Meanwhile, James gets his letter with the same information. Later, Lily is told that she couldn't go home during break because of a student program.
Chapter Two:
Everyone was laughing and talking. All, that is, except Lily Evans. Her red hair swirled about her as she kept looking around for a compartment to settle in before the Hogwarts Express left. Green eyes appeared worried as Lily came into full compartment after full compartment. She wanted a compartment that was relatively empty. Finally, she had scoured the whole train, and she came to the last door. She opened it, and
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were in here," she said quickly to the four boys inside. James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew.
"No problem. Um, Lily Evans, right? I'm going to be working with you, I think, so let's get off on the right foot," James said. Deep brown eyes twinkled merrily as he held out his hand.
Lily hesitated; James had quite a reputation. Then she took his hand. "Okay," she said softly.
James's grin widened. "Don't worry, Firehead. Contrary to popular belief, I don't want to snog every girl I see."
Remus, Sirius, and Peter all coughed out something that sounded like "Amy Chang."
James grew indignant, "That was just once! I didn't mean to-"
Another cough, this time "Ellen Frait."
Throwing up his hands exasperatedly, James exclaimed, "Well, that was just. . . "
"A dare?" Lily suggested sweetly. James glared at her as she continued, "Or it could be an accident. Or, maybe you really do want to snog every girl in sight!"
The three boys grinned, trying to hold back their laughs. Finally, a girl with a sense of humor!
Suddenly, running footsteps was heard through the door, and the door opened to reveal a girl with dark brown hair with the same color eyes.
"Lily! I was looking all over for you! Oh . . . hi, I guess . . ." her voice drifted off as she saw the boys who called themselves the "Marauders."
Lily didn't notice as she ran over to where the girl stood. "Gina! How was your summer?" Not waiting for an answer, she continued excitedly, "I suppose you know these boys?"
"Most famous, of course. James Potter, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and. . ." Gina's voice was suddenly curt as she said, "Sirius Black."
Pushing away his dark blonde hair, Peter asked, "Well, then, what's your name?"
Before Gina could answer, Sirius spoke up. "Geraldine Scilter. Her real name is Geraldine Scilter, but she likes to be called Gina."
Everyone turned to look at Sirius, who shrugged and said dryly, "Let's just say we've . . . had some chats."
Gina, or Geraldine, snorted. She said, "Yeah, some extremely illuminating chats. He seemed to believe I was one of his simpering fans. He, apparently, has never heard of the library."
Sirius looked bemused as he asked, "Um . . . what exactly is a library?"
After some chuckles, with a sigh from Gina, Remus said, for the first time since the girls had entered, "What a tangle! Let's all shake and be friends for now, okay? Please? For cute little adorable Remus?"
Grudgingly, both people nodded and sat down across from each other, not quite glaring. Everyone relaxed after a few minutes of tension and began laughing and talking. After a while, the boys kicked the girls out to change ("As much as you'd like to, don't peek!" "In your dreams, Sirius Black!"), and afterwards, the girls kicked the boys out ("And no peeking, Sirius!" "Why is it always me?"). Finally, the Hogwarts Express arrived at Hogwarts School of Withcraft and Wizardry.
(A/N: I was going to stop here, but it seemed too short, hehe. . .)

"Firs' years this way! Firs' years over here!"
Everyone grinned at each other when they heard the familiar words. Lily waved to the speaker, a young-looking big man. "Hello, Hagrid!"
Hagrid grinned and said, "Hello! Sorry, but can't talk. Got some firs' years." He nodded to the petrified children gathering in front of him. They were looking at Hagrid with a mix of awe and fright. He looked like a giant, and his smiling "reassuringly" at then didn't help because quite a lot of teeth was showing. Gina smirked at Lily; the two girls had liked Hagrid the moment they had seen him.
The horseless coaches drew up in front of everyone. It was four to a coach; the Marauders got into one coach, and Gina and Lily stepped into the one after it. Unfortunately, the coach started moving before they recognized the other two occupants. Otherwise, they would have left.
"Well, if it isn't the Mudblood and the Mudblood lover," sneered a cool voice. Light came in through a window to illuminate a coldly handsome blond-haired boy sitting with a pale faced, black-haired boy. Both were smirking.
"Malfoy, Snape," Lily hissed. Her green eyes narrowed. "Why don't you do the human race a favor and shut those mouths of yours?"
Gina was glaring viciously, and her hand clenched he wand hard.
Severus Snape shrugged, "Well, at least we haven't been poisoning the wizarding world with our blood."
Lily's temper flared, but before she could pull out her wand and curse the two boys, the coach had stopped.
As the boys passed them on the way out of the coach, Lucius Malfoy muttered, "Astronomy Tower, midnight. Bring your seconds."
A/N: There! Another chapter done! Aren't you happy? Thanks for the reviews, at least I didn't get any flames. And yes, I know the Astronomy Tower has a. . . reputation, but that's just the fun of it! ^_^ I hope you enjoyed this one!
