Disclaimer: If you can't tell the difference between my writing and characters and J.K. Rowling's work. I pity you.

Author's Note: Hey all! Yes this in my second fic. Please refrain from getting mad at me for abandoning my other fic, DMC. *ducks at flying tomatoes* Well technically, I'm not abandoning it.Sry rambling. Oh yes, this story is a tad AU and I got one broad idea as I read other fics, I used broad idea because I thought it was an amazing idea! So right now I'm giving credit to the founder of the idea, whoever it is, as the idea is seen in many stories. You guys are great! And remember there is only so many ways to write a story. This is fan fiction, right? So with that off my chest, on with the show!

Chapter One: It Starts (corny, I know!)

The stars swirled in the emerald eyes of a seventeen-year old girl. The constellation, Leo, was almost at its end of prominence in the sky. The constellation, Virgo, was eagerly taking up the limelight in the myriad stars of the fading summer season.

Lily gazed towards the sky from the soft spot of grass she was laying on. The changing, midnight sky brought the reminder that tomorrow was September 1st, the day she had to take the train back to school, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Looking down at her watch, Lily sadly rose from the soft grass, and she made her way to the dark house behind her.

"LILY! LILY VIOLA EVANS! GET UP, YOU TRAIN LEAVES IN THIRTY MINUTES!" The sound of Serena Evan's voice jolted the bundle of blankets awake.

"Crap!" was all Lily could say as she threw off her golden comforter. She glanced to the clock by her headboard; it read 10:30. She had overslept again. For some reason, every year on the first of September Lily had a reputation for oversleeping. Taking no heed, Lily ran into the bathroom and jumped into the shower.

After an unpleasant cold shower, Lily ran into her room and grabbed the outfit she had set out the day before. She quickly slipped into her super- low rise Levi's and gold halter top.

"Crap! No time!" Lily said to herself, as she quickly towel dried her hair. Her dark, auburn hair settled around her shoulders, silently forming waves.

"Oh my gosh! I can't forget these!" Lily said with a smile as she slipped on her, Audrey Hepburn sunglasses. Truth be told, Lily absolutely adored the Muggle actress.

Grabbing her trunk and owl, with the help of her father, made her way downstairs to the car.

"Petunia, don't you want to say goodbye to your little sister? You won't see her until Christmas." asked Lily's mother to her eldest daughter.

"Bye, Lily", Petunia said it like she had just tasted something appalling.

"Buh bye!" Lily said enthusiastically. Nothing could spoil her mood about seeing her friends again after a three-month separation.

"Where is that girl?!" stated seventeen- year old, Juliana Edwards. Her and her other friends were waiting impatiently in their usual compartment on the Hogwarts Express.

"We were wondering the same thing ourselves", came an all too familiar voice at the door.

"Sirius, you're a dead man! I still haven't forgiven you for that prank you pulled on me last year!" Juliana shouted at him playfully.

"Jules, I'd like to see you try!" Sirius Black called back to her, as he ran at her and started tickling her senseless.

Juliana shouted between fits of laughter," I'm.hahahaha.going.haha.to.hahaha.kill. hahaha.you!!!"

"Who's killing who?" Lily had just walked in the door.

"LILY!!!", the other five people in the compartment chorused. She had no sooner taken one step into the compartment, when she was covered by a mass of bodies all hugging her at the same time.

"Do you mind?" Lily attempted to say, but she was muffled by the abundance of people around her. At last she was able to breathe again. Now straightening up, Lily got to get a good look of the people around her.

Her eyes, first, were drawn to the tall girl in the corner next to the notorious Sirius Black. The girl was Juliana Edwards, more commonly referred to as Jules. She was looking as ravishing as usual with her dark, almond eyes under her long, black hair. Next to her, was Sirius tall, dark, and handsome was all that was needed to describe him.

Next, her attention was drawn to her other friend, Zoe Williams. Zoe looked like a goddess. Her chocolate, brown hair cascaded in swirls down her back, and her aquamarine eyes shone brightly as she chatted with Remus Lupin. Remus, on the other hand, looked the same as usual, pale and fatigued. He looked happy none the less.

Now looking towards the last member of the group, whom was leaning against the compartment door staring directly at her, Lily's heart leapt to her throat. Right in front of her was none other than her best guy friend, her partner in crime, the one the only.James Potter.(A/N: I'm soooo corny!) He looked different somehow, something about the gleam in his brilliant hazel eyes, told her so. Lily couldn't put her finger on it. He had the same toned body that the whole female population went haywire for, the same messy jet- black hair, and the same trademark glasses of his. Lily was lost in awe of seeing him again for the first time in three months.

James grinned at her and said, "Hey, Lils don't I get a hug?"

Lily snapped back to reality. "Of course, dahuling!" Lily said in a humorous tone, as she walked over and embraced one of her best friends.

Later on the train ride, the group sat down and started contemplating about a prank to start of the New Year. The large group was really two groups united. The first group was the guys, the infamous Marauders, and the second was the Zodiacs. The Zodiacs were made up of none other Lily, who was Leo for her quick temper of a lion. Jules, who was Virgo, as she was the biggest temptress of them all. Last was Zoe, who was Aquarius, not only because of her eyes, but also her nature was that of the ocean. She could be calm and then be a raging hurricane, full of unwavering energy.

The two groups had formed an alliance, and they now were the top trouble- making group that Hogwarts has ever seen.

"Remember, plan is executed as soon as we walk into the castle", Lily stated to the group. Happy with their ingenious prank that was going to be pulled.

"Right!" the rest replied, as the train was coming to a halt. They all got up and filed out the doorway to meet the carriages that would take them up to the castle.
