After about 45 minutes of contemplating in silence, Sirius was about to burst. He hated silence! He was about to scream, before he heard a zip, and a ruffle of cloth. He looked over inquiringly at Lily.
She was unzipping her little bag she had with her. Lily took out a weird silver circle thing, with wires and a weird… ear set? Huh? (A/N: Remember, this is from Sirius's point of view. XD And don't worry, you'll found out what this mysterious circle "thing" is.)
By that time, Lily had put the ear set on her ears, and pushed some kind of weird button on the silver object. She then looked out the window, started to rock her head slightly, and started to move her lips, but she didn't say anything.
Now everybody was looking at her, and James said, "What are you doing?" But Lily didn't seem to hear.
He then started to wave his hand in front of her face before Lily looked up at him, pressed a button on the silver thing, and asked, "What?"
"What were you doing?" James questioned.
"Huh? What—Oh! You mean my CD player?" Lily grinned before continuing, "None of you are muggles? Wait—Yeah. Didn't any of you take Muggle Studies?" Nobody answered.
"Er… okay, then. It's a muggle object that—uh, makes? No… plays music. Yeah, that's it." She said before flashing another grin at them.
Remus raised his eyebrows before asking, "And how does it go about doing that?"
"Well—" Lily hesitated before answering, "I really don't know how exactly, but, well yeah. Anyways, see this button here?" She pointed to a button that was slightly bigger than the rest, pressed it, and the top of the silver thi—CD player opened.
"You're sure muggles know nothing of magic?" Asked Sirius… seriously. (A/N: I just had to add that. XD)
"Positive." Lily said, trying to keep a straight face. She then went on explaining to Remus how the CD—compact disk stored music and when you place it inside the CD player, it… dun dun dun plays music! Wow!
"Uh… can I see how it works, or, listen to it?" Remus asked.
"Sure!" Lily replied before directing him how to place the headphones on the ears.
After a few moments Remus was listening to music! Whoa! Soon everybody got a turn to listen to music, and sadly yes, Peter got to also.

After the train ride was over, and Lily got to know the Marauders more, and they got to know of her spell more, she decided they were her new friends.
When the 2nd years and above were filling into the Great Hall, almost everybody was pointing and whispering at Lily. She was strongly urged to tell them off by saying, 'Pointing isn't polite, ya' know.'
Finally when the 1st years entered, Professor McGonagall trailing behind them, she stopped and told Lily that she (Lily) was to meet Dumbledore after the feast.
After the sorting hat had finished it's sorting, and Dumbledore made his welcome speech, the feast appeared before their eyes, gasp, gasp, same ol' stuff… Well, let's just skip to Dumble's office, shall we?
The Marauders decided they would go with Lily, since they were her new friends.
They chattered their way up to Dumbledore's eagle statue, and then realized they didn't know the password.
"Geez… Why didn't I remember to ask McGonagall the password?"
"Yeah, why didn't you?" Replied James.
Lily rolled her eyes at him, and suddenly she was with him arguing about Emma Cornwell, in 2nd year. (A/N: No! Not literally! She was just thinking of that… Oh, and that "argument" was in chapter… six. =D)
Suddenly Lily said, "Hey Sirius… Do you remember, back in 2nd year, before I placed the charm on me, do you remember me calling you a…a daisy boy?"
"Hmm… I'm trying to remember here…" Sirius said, while scratching his head in thought.
"No! Don't try to remember! The apocalypse!" Remus remarked, grinning at him.
Sirius stuck his tongue out at him, and then they finally saw movement on the eagle statue.
"Huh. Wonder if that was the password." Sirius replied, sticking his tongue out again. Lily rolled her eyes at him, also.
Dumbledore appeared there, and said, "I thought I'd only be seeing Lily… But that's all right. I do have to discuss some… ah, rules with you four...again."
Sirius groaned, and followed them up the stairs.
---------------
"Go ahead and sit down." Dumbledore waited before saying, "So Lily. Can you explain what was going on?"
Lily took a deep breath, and started out, "Okay. It all began in 2nd year, when I decided I really didn't like attention. I resolved to find a book about making myself un-noticeable. And so, I found in a book a charm. I put that charm on me, and became un-noticeable. I tried taking it off me, but there was no counter-curse. So I just waited until it faded off, and it did fade off today. A few hours ago on the Hogwarts Express."
"I have a feeling you left out some things." Dumbledore said.
"Yeah, that was just what roughly happened…"
"You mentioned a book and a charm twice, will you tell me the names of them?"
"Yes, sir. Um, the book's name was 'Charms for the Concealed,' and the charm was named, 'The Disregardment Charm.'"
"Four years you lived with this… Wow Lily, I'm impressed." Dumbledore said, smiling at her.
Lily just shrugged, and looked over at the Marauders.
Dumbledore finally said, "Now Lily, you can leave if you want to, while I go over the rules, but… Oh. Remus—No, Sirius."
"Sir." Was Sirius's reply.
"What's up, ah… what do they say… Oh, dude? Yes, what's up, dude?"
"Sir?"
Dumbledore smiled at him, "My apologies, Mr. Black. I was merely trying to make you laugh. Anyways, can you tell me the 5 top rules of this school? If you can, it will save you and your friends an hour of my lectures."
"Yessir, sir." Lily rolled her eyes again.
"Alright… #1: Display appropriate behavior. #2: Respect your fellow teachers and students #3: Have materials and homework ready. #4: Be on time to class. #5: And be in school uniform."
"Very good, Mr. Black. Now, if you don't mind, I need to get caught up with some work."
They all started filling out of the room before Remus remembered to ask, "Oh, and, professor? What's the password to the common room?"
"Hm? Oh… I was not informed of that. Let me see if I can contact Minerva..." Dumbledore said.
"Of course, professor."
Dumbledore snapped his finger and a quill came flying to his hand, while some parchment rushed to his aid. He mumbled some words to it, scribbled something, waited for a few moments, then looked up to Remus telling him the password was, "Orange Octopus."
"Orange Octopus? Er, okay… Weird." Remus said aloud to Dumbledore, and then went to go find his friends.
