Summery: It is Lily and James's final year at Hogwarts, but they still hate each other! Will their friends be able to get them together? And will this plot bring together more than one person? Will finish the years at Hogwarts and continue on till the end of 7th year. Then there will be a sequel......hopefully.
Disclaimer :I don't own anything but the characters that I made up, the plot and anything that you don't recognize as the dear JK Rowling's work.
This chapter has been revised twice, since I wasn't satisfied with my
original work. I must say, things are slightly different.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lily Evans walked across the brightly lit Gryffendor common room. People were going in and out of the portrait hole, celebrating the first night of the holidays. Waving to a small, mousy-haired girl called Heidi Smarthington, whom Lily had tutored briefly last year, she turned her emerald eyes towards the vast windows and sighed. Snow slipped down silently against the dark motionless sky, resting softly on the blanket of crystal that covered the ground. Spying her friend sprawled across a couch she wandered over.
"It's snowing again." Lily informed her best friend Catherine Starrling with a toss of her red hair.
"Hello Lily, how was the prefect meeting? And what kind of weather do you expect on the 18th of December?"
Catherine, known as Cat waited for Lily to reply. Her honey blonde hair that seemed to have natural blond and red streaks hung to shoulders and her raised slim eyebrows gave her an apprehensive look.
"Yeah, Yeah, I just hate the cold," Lily replied grumpily. "Where are Lis, Torii and Ari?"
Kylissa Raymond, Victoria Earling and Arinne Lewils were the other three friends who were at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for their 7th and final year. Boys swarmed around them, for they were no doubt the best looking girls at school, not to mention the most brave and intelligent.
"Lis is made at Torii because she lost her Hot Wizards Magazine, or whatever it's called. You know the one that she is always drooling over. Honestly, she is so boy crazy. Torii is trying to find that magazine and Lis either standing over her yelling at her or sitting on Mac's lap." Macdonald Thatcher was Lis' Hufflepuff boyfriend. He was good looking, with blond hair, blue eyes, and is Lis' mind, and hot body. Cat teased Lis relentlessly about his name. After all, who would want their first name to be Macdonald.
"Ari is taking a shower." Cat said. She leaned on the arm rest. Warm, hazel eyes surveyed Lily with a questioning look.
"No ones doing homework?" Lily frowned.
"It's the Christmas holidays, give it a rest Lil," Cat laughed, shaking her head.
"But we have so much work! Professor Slovene gave so much Potions homework! Besides, it is my duty to set a good example as Head Girl!"
"Lighten up Lily. Please. Lis and I want everyone to go to the Boxing Day Night Party at the Three Broomsticks. So you better lighten up by then and get ready to have some fun!"
"Catherine Starrling! I don't believe you! We are going to sneak out of school?"
"Relax Lil, we will ask Prof. Dumbledore."
"Oh good." Lily said relieved
"But if he says no, we will sneak out." Cat continued, her eyes sparkling mischievously.
"What!!" Lily shrieked.
"Yeah! I found the magazine! Now Lis can't kill me. Hey Lil, how was the prefect meeting?" Torii asked coming into the room and sitting on the floor by Lily's feet and brushing out her blond hair. She was by far the tallest of the five, next was Ari, who was tall and well built. Lis was next, and then Lily. "Seen Kyle today?" Inquired Cat. She was the shortest, and scrawniest in her opinion. But how would she know? Plenty of boys looked her way as often as they did Ari, or Lis for example. She just never paid attention.
Both Lily and Torii shot a murderous look at Cat. Torii was going out with Jack Torkener, a slim, Vietnamese boy who had been adopted when he was 4 months old by the widowed Matilda Torkener, and given his name. He was a smart Ravenclaw. Torii though, was really in love with Kyle Wilton, a Hufflepuff.
Cat, was constantly standing up for Jack. She thought he was much nicer, smarter and more good looking than Kyle. She also felt sorry for him. Many people thought it funny to prank the shy boy. Namely the Marauders.
"The meeting was really boring. Cassia, the Hufflepuff prefect went on and on about the food for the Christmas ball. Managing to do so while mooning over Potter. Bad enough that Potter is Head Boy, but this?"
"Jealous are we?" Cat could not resist a small crack at Lily.
"What's this? Lily the Head Girl of Hogwarts and reputed good girl thinks that a Prefect Meeting was Boring? And what was that about a Christmas ball? Oh, and did you see Mac today? He was sooooooooooo totally hot." Lis, gushed. Her thick blond hair was tied up in a messy bun and she was wearing Muggle clothes, tight fitting jeans and a low-cut t-shirt.
"NO!" Lily retorted. This comment was thought to be directed at Cat, but no one was really sure.
"Hey Lis. Here's your magazine." Torii muttered. "Oh so you found it." Lis stated.
"He's immature, egotistical, arrogant....." Yes, I suppose we can safely assume Lily was talking about Cat's cousin, James Potter.
"Did I just hear Perfect Head Girl Model-Student Lily Evans say she thought that a Prefect meeting was boring?" drawled a mature manly voice, interrupting Lily's ranting .
"Shove it Sirius" Lily said angrily. "Where have you been, torturing some innocent Ravenclaw?"
"But Lily Darrrrrrrrrrrrrrling, you know you love me." Sirius Black persisted. He had longish black hair and really dark eyes. He was the most handsome and hot boy, or Man, as he thought, to ever darken the doors of Hogwarts
"Shut up" Lily growled.
"Leave the Ravenclaws alone," Cat said mildly.
"Be fair Sirius, it was a boring meeting," James Potter said. Then he smiled at Lily. He had messy black hair, though it was slightly shorter than Sirius'. He was the second tallest, Sirius being taller and had warm chocolate eyes.
He was a pureblood, just like Cat, Sirius and Ari, though his particular family had no mind to Muggles and Half-bloods. Sirius' family did. In fact, Sirius spent most of his time, denouncing his family and getting into trouble.
"I don't need you Potter to defend me," Lily spat.
"I better go before this gets too heated," Lis said hastily and she ran off out of the portrait hole. No doubt to find Mac.
James and Lily began to argue, egged on by Sirius.
"That's right, make James pay, Lily! He had no right to say hello........" Cat choked suddenly and had to turn away.
"Hey Guys,"
It was Ari.
"Hey," Cat said turning her head back and watching the battle with mild amusement again. Lily, James and Sirius kept on arguing. "She looks hot when she argues, doesn't she James....." Sirius was saying. Switching sides,
"They are so meant for each other," Cat said shaking her head at Lily and James.
"Why do you have to be so arrogant Potter!" Lily spat.
"Yeah," said Ari. She tossed her brown hair and both Cat, Remus Lupin, a slight, shy boy, with light brown hair who was another of the famous Marauders, (who had just appeared from the Library) and Torii noted that there was a glint of secrecy in her caramel eyes.
"But I have a plan."
"What" asked Torii interestedly. Cat and Remus leaned in too, but couldn't really hear what Ari said because Lily had just slapped James for the 15th time, and there were titters across the common room. Lily had exited gracefully, while James glared harshly at a blond, blue-eyed fourth year girl named Robin McCarthy, who seemed to be going into convulsions.
"I'll tell you while Lily and James are at the next Prefect Meeting," Ari said mysteriously, getting up and walking away.
A/N- I have revised for the second time! Enjoy and don't forget to review! And I have nothing against Blonds, or any other person, religion, or what ever. Just to clear that up. In fact, I have two adopted cousins, who I love really much. And one is Vietnamese.
