Chapter one
Disclaimer: The day that Pigs fly and Turtles Can move as fast as a Cheetah is the day that I will own anything that I am writing here.
Lily Evans, a Bright muggle born Witch, was headed for her Sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft And Wizerdry. She was both excited and unwilling.
She looked forward to her new classes and teachers and all of that, but she was not looking forward to another year with James Potter. He was a cocky, Qudditch playing jerk who was so full of himself Lily was surprised his head didn't blow. She highly disliked that boy, he was so sure that he could get away with anything. One day that would get him killed, being so full of himself like that. He would, no doubt, face something that could kill him without even thinking and he would stand there, his hair in complete disseray, and say some smart mouthed thing and would end up dead.
As Lily entered Platform 93/4, she saw none other then the Marauders themselves. All four of them, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. Pettigrew, was a nervous looking young man. He seemed to hide behind James and the rest of the Marauders. Sirius was the funny one out of the group. Always pulling pranks, him and Remus. Ah Remus. Remus was the quiet hard worker of them all. The one that seemed to have his head straight, or so Lily thought.
"Hello Evans." James Potter gave her the Usual quirky smile and a slight wink.
"Potter. What do you want. To poke more fun at me?" Lily rolled her eyes, glancing around at the other three wondering who would step up this time. But none of them did.
"Going to go play hero again over Snape? Or was that just a one time thing? I think that he may be hurt when he finds out that you don't really care about him. Crushed really Evans. I don't think that would be to nice for poor old Sevy." James and the Marauders laughed, while Lily closed her eyes and opened them slowly, Glaring at them all.
"Aw come on Evens! Everyone knows you have a thing for the grease bag! Why not just admit it to yourself. You know you like him." This time it was Sirius who stepped up.
"Oh shove it. All of you. I don't like Severus Snape. I just didn't like you guys picking on him for no good reason other then to try to show off. " Lily glared then stormed off to the train.
"Maybe you should have been a bit nicer James, Sirius." Remus said.
"Naw. She'll get over it. I mean how could she not. It's not like we said anything that she didn't already know." James laughed and so did Sirius. Remus on the other hand looked in the direction from where Lily had run off to and wished that those too would quit being so horrid to her. She had no say in her feelings, or the way she was. She just was.
"Come on Moony quit mooning over her. She doesn't like you. You have your face shoved so far into your books no girls can even get a glance at it." James patted his friend on the back. "No hard feelings mate but no girl is going to go ga-ga for a guy who's head is stuck in a book all the time."
"And I suppose they will fall for a cocky guy instead. One who has his head shoved so far up his own arse he can't see the pain he causes others. I don't think so." Remus glares at James and walks off.
"Now come on Mate! That was harsh! I didn't mean it…Come on Remus!!" James sighed and ran a hand through his hair. James then motioned for the rest of them to follow him to the train.
On the train Lily found an empty compartment and sat down. Oh was she mad at James Potter. If she ever got the chance to hex him into bit you could be that she would do it. "I don't like Snape. He's just a…a…Friend. That's all. I don't have any other feelings for him. None. I only helped him because James shouldn't pick on people that are weaker then he is. Yeah."
Spent a good ten minutes convincing herself of these things when he compartment door opened and in walked Remus.
"Hey Evens, I'm sorry for the way those guys were acting back there." Lily gaped at him.
"You're kidding me! You laughed at me!! You laughed at now you have the AUDACITY to come in here and APPOLOGIZE for THEM!!! I DON'T THINK SO!" Lily was furious. She didn't care how sorry he was for what they had done, he had laughed but he didn't apologize for him only them. James and Sirius.
"I was just trying…" Lily cut him off.
"I DON'T CARE!! YOU WERE JUST A HORRIBLE AS THEM. LAUGHING AT ME BECAUSE YOU ALL THINK THAT I LIKE SNAPE! WELL NEWS FOR YOU I DON'T!!!!!!!" Lily was on the verge of tears now. But she wouldn't cry. She was better then that.
"Whoa…Calm down. I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have laughed. That was wrong. I guess I was laughing more at the thought of you liking Snape then James actually picking on you for it." Lily hung her head…She felt like such an idiot. Yelling at him like that for no reason.
"I'm sorry to. I didn't mean to be so rude. I'm just so sick of Potter always calling me names and making fun of me for anything and everything. And if he's not doing that then he's showing off for me. I don't like him one bit." Remus just shrugs.
"It's okay. I would be like that too I'm sure if James was always poking fun at me." Remus nods his head to her and smiles a little. "I'll see you around Evans." Lily nods her head, and watches as he retreats out of her compartment where she really gets to thinking about all of this.
Remus opens the compartment door where James, Peter, and Sirius are.
"Where did you go? We thought we just came here, but we didn't see you anywhere." Sirius questions him.
"I just went to go check up on something. That's all." James looks up at him.
"You went to make sure that Evans wasn't crying her heart out didn't you?" Remus just nods knowing how much his friend likes her. "I see. She wasn't was she?" James suddenly sounds worried.
"No. She was just mad at you. Same as always James. She's getting really fed up with you and your games though." James nods sullenly.
"Yeah I know. But I mean I can't just start being nice to her. It will ruin my reputation." Remus glares at him.
"That's all you care about these days James. Your reputation and what girl you can snog senseless this week. That's all you care about anymore. Not who might be getting hurt in the process." Remus then sits down in a corner of the compartment and reads.
What a year this would be. Remus acting all protective and odd. James being a prick. And Sirius and Peter standing on the sidelines watching. While Lily was making some dissions of her own about what this year would hold. Let the fun and games begin.
