Hi everyone. Ok this is my first fanfic that I have decided on displaying to the public, so please be gentle and tell me what you think ok? This is a Lily and James fic and takes place in their 7th year. Hope you like it!

Chapter 1 – Back Home.

'SIRIUS! Come on, we're going to be late!' yelled an untidy black haired boy from the front door.

'Hold on, keep your knickers on for Merlin's sake!'

Sirius emerged from the bedroom to the right of where the black haired boy stood, waiting impatiently for him. He was carrying his Hogwarts trunk with ease from his tall muscular build and his long dark hair was flopping just above his dreamy, chocolate brown eyes.

'Are you ready yet?' asked the boy impatiently, but a small smile was playing on the corners of his lips.

Sirius gave a bark like laugh, 'Come on James! You know I need a good half an hour to put on my makeup!' and he gave him a small wink.

James broke his stern look and laughed along with his best friend. 'So, shall we apparate there? There's an alley around the corner from King's Cross Station that is set up for it.'

'Alright, are Remus and Peter meeting us there?' asked Sirius walking towards James with his trunk in his arms.

'Yeah, I owled Remus the other night and he said that they're meeting us on the train.'

'Alright let's go, just let me lock the door.' Said Sirius as he passed James and locked the door to his downtown flat in London. And with a quick smile at the other, and with two loud pops, the two teenage boys were gone.

The story you are about to read, is about a boy named James Potter, who isn't just an ordinary boy. He is a wizard, who will be starting his seventh and final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Sirius, his best friend, and he are currently two of the most popular and smartest boys in their year. James, of course, was also part of the Gryffindor Quidditch team and played the position of seeker. The seeker's job, which according to James was the most difficult, is to catch a tiny golden ball that is almost impossible to see due to its size and speed, and finish the game, earning the seekers team 150 points. The one thing James did not have though, was a certain red headed girl who was also incredibly smart but extremely unobtainable. No matter how hard he tried he just could not win the heart of the perfect Lily Evans. What James doesn't know, is that this year will be one of the most exciting and emotional years of his life.

James found himself in a dark alleyway in London and looked down to see himself still holding his trunk. Sirius was standing next to him and started to walk towards the end of the alley.

'I can see the station from here. It's just down the street. Come on then.' Said Sirius, and he hoisted his trunk up a little more, then him and James walked down the busy street towards King's Cross Station.

When the boys got to the station, they each got a trolley and loaded their trunks onto them and headed towards Platform 9 and 10.

'Once again, the place is packed! It's going to be difficult to get to Platform 9 and ¾ this year.' Exclaimed Sirius.

They found themselves looking at the barrier between numbers 9 and 10, and gave a quick look around for any muggles watching. Then, with a smirk, James and Sirius found themselves hurtling towards the solid wall only to run right through it and come face to face with a scarlet steam engine and a sign that read 'Hogwarts Express, Platform 9 and ¾.'

James and Sirius started looking for an empty compartment. There weren't many, but they did find Remus and Peter on their search.

"Hey James! Hey Sirius!" called Remus over the textbook he was reading. "How was your summer?"

Remus was a handsome boy with sandy colored hair and pale bluish grey eyes. He was the most mature out of the four boys and had been made a prefect in his fifth year. He wasn't quite as tall as James or Sirius but he was still a prankster at heart. There was, of course, one thing about Remus that made his life disturbing: Remus was a werewolf.

James and Sirius exchanged a look. "It was a total blast! Too bad you couldn't join us Moony, we had Sirius's flat to ourselves and no parents to nag us when we went out. And guess what? I'm Head Boy!"

"Wow! That's great Prongs!" exclaimed Remus, although he looked a little disappointed. "Yeah, I wish I could've gone but I wasn't feeling up to it you know. And when I was, my mom wanted me home."

Sirius and James finished putting away their trunks in the baggage compartments and sat down across from Remus and Peter as the train pulled out of the station.

"So what about you Wormtail? How was your summer?" asked Sirius.

For the first time since the arrival of James and Sirius, Peter joined the conversation and told them all about his summer with his mother in France. Peter was the shortest of the boys but was still fairly good looking. Although he was shy and had mousey looking hair, he was still quite charming and funny when he wanted to be. He was talking animatedly about this girl he had met atop the Eiffel Tower when the four boys heard a group of girls chattering outside their compartment.

"Wow! I can't believe you've been made Head Girl Lily!" spoke a girl's voice.

"I know! It's going to be so much work, but it'll look really good when I apply for a job." said Lily.

"Did the letter tell you who the Head Boy is?" spoke another girl.

"No, but I was hoping it might be Remus Lupin, I mean he's really smart and of course he was a prefect." said Lily happily. "Anyways, I have to go up to the Head compartment at the front of the train, but I'll come down a little later and meet up with you guys ok?"

"Sure, bye Lily!" said the first girl.

"Make sure you give us the goods on Head Boy!" exclaimed the second girl.

James and the rest of the Marauders, who were all piled on top of each other to listen into the girl's conversation, all turned to look at each other and then they all looked at James.

"So...," said Sirius, a smile forming on his handsome face, "Lily's Head Girl?"

James suddenly realized what he had overheard and smiled broadly. "Yeah, and we get a compartment all to ourselves!" They all smiled at each other and then James stood up and opened the door, "Excuse me ladies, but I have some important business to attend to." And he strode off down the corridor to the front of the train.

Ok, that was chapter one, let me know what you think before I post chapter 2 and other ok? Thanks so much!
