Summery: Lilly and the 4 Marauders have just started their last and final year in Hogwarts. What happens when Lily finds herself falling for James?
-All You Need Is Love- Chapter 1: The First Day of their Last Year
"Hi Lily Flower... LILY! Hey, Evans! Wait!" cried the charmingly familiar voice of James Potter as he caught up with Lily on the Hogwarts Express that was going to be leaving the train station in a few minutes. Lily was just looking for her friends... and James? Well, he was just looking for her.
17-year-old Lily Evans was a beautiful young woman with a cascade of fiery red hair that seemed to glow brightly when she was either very angry or extremely happy. She had bright emerald eyes and was 5'8 in height, had a slim, beautiful built and was the most beautiful girl in Hogwarts as she was known for being kind, clever and athletic. She was the girl all the boys wanted and the girl all the other girls wanted to be.
But, young Lily didn't seem to be able to see that! She thought her lovely hair an ugly shade of red and her eyes like those of a cat's, scary and intimidating. Her just perfect height for a model she thought, not tall enough.
Even though she had lots of offers to be on magazines, adverts and posters, to be a true supermodel! She denied all, thinking, "I am neither beautiful nor tall enough. They will run away screaming when they see me."
If only she realized, if only she KNEW how wrong she was!
James was a 6'1, 17-year-old boy with messy, jet black hair that could never be tamed and deep, chocolate brown eyes. True, he and his best friends, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew were the most popular guys in the school and were known as the "Marauders", always pulling pranks and jokes and TRUE, he, Sirius and Remus were considered the most handsome boys in the school.
TRUE, all the girls wanted them and all the boys wanted to BE like them. But one thing that really makes him wonder was Lily Evans.
Lily Evans.
Just thinking of her made his heart beat faster and his breathing out of control. It was common knowledge to the whole school that James Potter, THE James Potter, had had a crush on Lily Evans since the end of first year. But no one really knew the reason. Neither did James himself. He just loves her. Love is full of surprises.
Lily however, had simply no interest in James at ALL. True, she still held grudges on James because during the first year, he had teased and pranked her senseless but suddenly seemed to have an almighty crush on her by the end of the year.
This had freaked her out and she made her distance. But by the fifth year, he had begun asking her out everyday and sending her little presents once a week. True, she was flattered by the attention, but she felt nothing for him. Not one single spark. Besides, many other guys in school were ALSO trying to win her heart. So, everyday, Lily would receive tons of gifts and cards but she just ignored them.
'Why can't they understand?' she had thought, 'I just want to be left ALONE and score good grades for my OWLs!'
(A/N: OWLs – Ordinary Wizarding Levels)
James had to sacrifice a lot for Lily, but he didn't mind. He didn't mind that he hadn't dated a single girl before but Sirius had dated and dumped almost the whole population of girls in the school. No, James just wanted Lily, and if he couldn't get her, then he wouldn't get anyone else. She was the only one in his mind.
But, surprisingly, by the sixth year, Lily and the Marauders had suddenly developed a strange new friendship. They were close friends now and were usually seen in the common room, chatting and laughing by the fire along with Lily's friends, Anastasia and Bluzimier (A/N: think: blah-zeeh-mere).
Back to the story...
"What do you want this time, James?" asked Lily, not stopping, but turning back and looking at him, though she was still looking for her friends. She just couldn't wait to tell them the good news!
She finally saw Anastasia and Bluzimier sitting together and laughing loudly with the rest of the marauders.
"I tried to tell you where they were but you wouldn't stop and listen," said James innocently as Lily scowled at him.
She sighed and said, "Oh okay. Sorry, my mistake!"
James smiled. She was just so beautiful when she was embarrassed and feeling guilty.
"I've got some GREAT news," she shrieked excitedly as soon as she got into the compartment, "I got home yesterday from Diagon Alley and saw THIS on my table."
She lifted the items up and everyone was that it was a parchment with Professor Dumbledore's handwriting on it and...
The Head Girl Badge!
"Oh my god, Lily!" squealed Bluzimier as she rushed over to give Lily a big hug.
"Congrats, girlfriend!" exclaimed Anastasia, rushing in to join the hug.
"Awww... how sweeeet!" cooed Sirius and James, both with identical grins on their faces.
"Shall we join them?"
"Oh absolutely!"
With a mighty war-cry, the two boys charged down to the other end of the compartment and barged into the girls to join in the group hug. The girls squealed loudly when they found themselves almost squashed to death by James and Sirius.
"Big hug!" said James.
"I love you... you love me, we're a happy family..."
"With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you..." continued James as he gave Lily a peck on her cheek, causing her to blush furiously.
"Won't you say you love... ME..." yelled Sirius and both he and James both took deep breaths and bellowed.
"TOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Remus and Peter were on the floor rolling with laughter. Seeing Remus laughing so happily was something Bluzimier wanted to see for so long. She had had a crush on him since last year when Lily started be-friending them.
Remus had floppy blonde hair with brown streaks and big baby blue eyes that always looked tired and weary but sparked with such joy and laughter when he was happy. Bluzimier was in love with that smile, in love with those eyes, in love with that hair, that body. In love with HIM.
What she didn't know, was that Remus was slowly starting to fall for her as well. Her beautiful face, though the typical blonde haired, blue eyed Barbie-doll look-alike, always captivated him many a time. So many times he caught himself staring longingly at her, though he never noticed that she was always staring at him too.
Hey, that just even things out in totally the wrong way! They would make a perfect couple, both blue eyed blondes. How sweet!
Meanwhile, Sirius was too busy goggling at Anastasia to notice Remus staring at Bluzimier. Anastasia... his Russian princess. He loved the way she had an arrogant air around her, not surprising since she was born into a world of beauty and fame, being the princess she was, she always had to be present during world events and hundreds and thousands of balls. Anastasia had dark, silky brown hair and beautiful, golden eyes.
Her eyes were what captivated Sirius. They looked so intense. So intriguing. He wanted to find out what went on behind those eyes. Those beautiful golden eyes. Like those of an eagle! He used to say.
Anastasia, like the rest of the female population in Hogwarts, school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, had fallen for Sirius messy black hair, rival of James' and beautiful chocolate brown 'innocent' (A/N: yea, right) eyes. She was upset because she knew he was just that. The player boy of Hogwarts. Dumping and ditching girls by the day. Hour even. Well, she couldn't say that about him! She was a player as well!
Everyone knew, next to Lily, Anastasia, the GORGEOUS Russian princess, was the next most beautiful girl on the list, followed by Bluzimier. Whenever the three girls walk down the halls and corridors, girls will envy them, always worshipping the land they step on, hoping to be able to ask to join them.
There will always be a group of girls following them, whispering and giggling, trying to be like the three beautiful girls while guys will naturally drop their jaws to the ground, after taking a moment to pick them off the ground, they would hurry after the (already large) group of girls. Hoping to get noticed by either of them.
Too bad, once James, Remus, Sirius and Peter came, they knew when to clear off. It was hilarious whenever the Marauders entered. Always looking forward to making a big entrance and watching the girls swoon and boys groan (A/N: inwardly of course... teehee).
Although the 4 boys always go nearly everywhere together, little Peter Pettigrew was usually considered 'not as good' as them. Maybe it was because he was a small mousey boy and rarely spoke. Or maybe because they felt he was not good enough to be a marauder. But, no matter what happens, James, Remus and Sirius would always be there to help him. They were all nice boys, really, they just didn't show it.
"Hey, I wonder who's the lucky boy who gets the Head badge this year..." wondered Lily aloud, not knowing that it was James himself.
"Well," started Sirius, knowing it was James because he was staying over at James' house when he received the letter, "Well, of COURSE its our very own Ja-"
He could not continue as James had hastily covered Sirius' mouth with his hand, while making faces and trying to get Sirius to understand it was meant to be a surprise, James said, "Our very own JOKE to ... umm, guess who it is. You know!" James had a shrill edge to his voice. Causing suspicion.
"Something's going on here..." muttered Remus, narrowing his eyes.
"Definitely," agreed Bluzimier.
James and Sirius both shrugged and grinned innocently.
"Whatever..." said Peter.
"As I was saying," continued Lily, "I hope the new Head Boy will be a nice person because I won't want a horrible, slimy git to share a room with..."
"WHAT?!" yelled James, causing Anastasia and Peter to jump and Sirius and Bluzimier to flinch, "Sorry, I mean, what?! You stay in the SAME room?"
"What's with you, James? Jealous?" mocked Lily, "Don't worry, its not like we're going to get in bed or anything, HA!"
"You never know..." muttered Sirius darkly as James cuffed him over his head.
Soon, they were drawing nearer to the Hogsmeade train station. The teens changed into their school robes and got out. It was a bright, clear, sunny day and all of them were in a good mood.
As soon as they reached Hogwarts, James and Sirius decided to make a- umm... big entrance. They pushed open the dining doors loudly and announced in a cocky voice, "Knock yourself out ladies! The MARAUDERS are here!"
The ditzier girls of Hogwarts rushed up, squealing excitedly, while Lilly, Anastasia and Bluzimier stood behind them, rolling their eyes. Up on stage, a young Dumbledore stood, chucking softly at the scene in front of him while Professor McGonagall look on disapprovingly.
After the feast, the Headmaster stood out to make some announcements.
He cleared his throat and spoke, "I will now announce this year's head boy and head girl. From Gryffindor, the new Head Boy, Mr. James Potter."
Lily's jaw hit the floor as she looked at James, standing on his seat and waving his arms around manically. So it was that nitwit that she was going to have to spend time with the whole year. No wonder he didn't say anything on the train! Oh no. True, she liked him, AT TIMES but he could get out of hand. She rolled her eyes as almost the whole female population squealed excitedly as having such a hot Head Boy.
"The new Head Girl," continued Professor Dumbledore once the noise had subsided SLIGHTLY, "this year's new head girl, ALSO from Gryffindor, Ms. Lily Evans!"
"EVERYBODY, GIVE IT UP FOR LILY!!!" yelled James as this time; it was the males in the school who started cat-calling and wolf-whistling at Lily while James shot death-glares at them. The girls clapped politely. Everyone was clapping, it was deafening! Lily was blushing furiously at the attention and quickly sat back down.
"Aww, don't be a spoilsport, Lily Flower, their still clapping!" whined James as he pulled her up again. This time, they received a standing ovation. It was perfect! The best looking and smartest boy and girl of the school as Heads, what more could the school ask for?
After another 10 minutes, the clapping finally ended. James sat back down, looking very proud and big-headed while Lily looked dazed.
"Thank you all, it is now time for bed, prefects, please lead the students back to their common room, and the Heads, I trust you know your way to the Head Rooms," announced Professor Dumbledore.
"Yeah, our own private room," whispered James into Lily's ear, sending chills down her spine.
"Sod off, James..." whispered back Lily, looking ruffled. James shrugged and walked out. Lily quickly followed him.
