James tried to say, 'What was that?' But instead he said.
"Quack, dog, moo doo?" James shook his head.
"I love Lily?" He shook his head violently.
"I have a seven inch turtle in my pocket?"
"What the Bloody Jack!?"
"Sirius what did you do too him?" Lily asked between giggles.
"My new hex, Kukuclocklikings! Remus was my guinea pig! Wasn't it fun?" He asked Remus. Remus turned pale.
"You should see what happens after..." He said.
"Sirius Blue! No, pop a doodle roo! My God what happened to me! Bark!" James asked.
Suddenly James stopped. Sirius squeezed between Lily and Remus. "This is the fun part. Watch!" He said popping the frog in his mouth. Remus shook his head slowly.
James stood up and did a back flip, then he striped, taking everything but his boxers off, and got into Sirius's trunk and pulled out a bra. He put it on and ran around screaming.
"I'M SPICY!" In a high pitched voice. Then he stopped and stood there his cheeks turning red.
Sirius was laughing and clapping. Lily was giggling and clapping. And Remus sighed.
"That is not what I did..." He said.
"Yeah he spun around in circles dressed in a corset, and a mini skirt! He wore his mother's lipstick and braided his hair! Said some odd things too!" Sirius said. Lily got her camera and took a picture, keeping it. Sirius smiled.
"I'd put that in your book of Memories!" He said everyone started to laugh, well except James.
Lily stopped laughing. "Wait, Sirius why do you have a bra in your trunk?" She asked. Everyone stared at him. He stood up took the bra away from James and rubbed against his cheek.
"It's silky!" He said proudly. James punched his back, and grabbed his clothes. Sneaking out, he went into the bathroom.
He came back, but then went back out and changed into his robes. Nobody else was dressed, but he reminded Lily they had a Head girl/Boy meeting.
When they left, Remus and Sirius had a charm contest. And when Lily and James came back, Remus was silenced, had long curly blue hair and his hands were in the air his wand on the floor. Sirius had red lipstick on and he was stuck on the ceiling muttering things under his breath. His wand was pointing toward Remus. Lily started to laugh along with James. Remus grabbed his wand and did the counter curse, and Sirius came floating down.
"It was Sirius who made me!" Remus complained after getting his voice back. Sirius just gave him a glare and left the room, Remus after him. They cleaned up in the bathroom and left Lily and James laughing in the compartment. But they came back in panting.
"There's a dementor on the train! Everyone is knocked out cold!" Remus managed to say. James froze. Remus, Sirius, and Lily went toward the window, but James was still frozen. 'What was that spell.... Ah! Expecto Patrnum!' He thought, pulling out his wand he backed up.
The lights went out, and Lily could see her breath. The door slowly opened, and everything became cold. Lily looked at the dementor, and felt a cold rush go through her. Bad memories flooded her mind. She closed her eyes but they wouldn't stop. She opened her mouth, and screamed.
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" James yelled. A silver hawk formed out of his wand, and it chased it away. When he turned around Lily was screaming, but then she fainted.
"Lily? Lily! Get up! The train is moving!" Lily could hear James's voice. She slowly sat up, and Remus handed her some chocolate.
"It'll help you recover." He said. Lily thanked him and put it in her mouth. She wondered how Remus knew all these healing things, but didn't get too far when James asked her something.
"Lily back there. You screamed. What happened?" He asked.
Lily sighed. She hadn't told anyone about her family. Not even James, and she always was over his house during the summer. She didn't know if she was ready to tell them, but she'd been holding it back for the past four years. She looked up, and cleared her throat.
"It started when I got the letter from Hogwarts...."
"Lily! You have mail!"
"Really? I never get mail. I wonder who sent it. Okay mum hold on!"
Lily ran down the steps of Privet drive. She lived with her mother, and sister, Petunia. Her father left them a year after Lily was born. Her mother handed her the letter.
"To Miss Lily Evens of number Four privet Drive. In first room on right upstairs. Wow they are really specific." She said. She tore open the letter and read it to herself. She re-read it a couple of times, before looking at her mother and sister.
"It says I have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I'm a witch!" She said. Her mother took the letter. She smiled and hugged Lily.
"We have a witch in the family! Oh I have to tell Grandmother!" She said happily. Petunia looked at Lily with a very nasty glare. When they're eyes meet she mouthed 'freak' and went to her room.
During the last three weeks of that summer a lot of things happened. She was taken to a place called Diagon Alley to buy her books, and robes. Her sister hated her now, and her father came back.
Her father had been drunk the night he came back. Lily's mother had tried to push him out but he threatened her. Petunia loved her father, and he loved her the most. Petunia told him about the past ten years that he was gone. Then she told him about Hogwarts.
"Lily got a letter from a school a week ago." She said.
"Really? What did she do? Murder a teacher and has to go to jail?" He asked.
"No, but I wish. She has to go to this so-called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It's not fair. I want to go!" Petunia said.
Her father got up and went to Lily's room. Lily was up there with her mother, and he grabbed Lily's arm and forced her out of the room.
"You stupid girl! You're not special!" He yelled, and hit her hard. He kept on beating her until she had welts and bruises every where. He left her in the hallway, and went downstairs. A couple of minuets later Petunia came up, and kicked her and went into her own room. Lily's mother picked her up, and set her on her bed. She hugged her and they both cried until they fell asleep.
Every night was like this. Lily was abused, her mother was threatened, and Petunia was being spoiled. Then she went to school and never had any friends because the way she looked. Until she met James and the rest of them in her third year. Then she started to cheer up.
But in her fourth year she wasn't allowed to go to Diagon Alley, because of her father. So she wrote to James telling him she'd be over at his house for the rest of the summer, so she could go to Diagon Alley. And her father would kill her when she came back, but it was worth it. And so she'd have to make an excuse why she came to James's house looking the way she did.
"Oh such a sob tale, Stupid Lily." Came a voice. They looked up and saw Peter.
Sirius looked shocked. He thought Peter liked Lily. Peter and Betty-sue laughed and Lily started to sniffle. Tears flowed down her cheeks.
"That story was such a fake." Betty-sue said in her deep voice. Everyone but Lily jumped up.
"Peter Pettigrew! You take that back!" James said angrily. Peter just laughed. Sirius clenched his fist, and was about to move when Remus stepped forward. Remus, who hardly got angry, picked Peter up by the collar of his shirt.
"As the leader of this group. You are now no longer a Marauder! Leave my sight, you filthy rat!" He said pushing him out and shutting the door. Lily put her head in her hands and cried. She felt hands on her shoulders and looked up. Everyone was around her. She gave a weak smile.
"Thank you." She said wiping her eyes. The boys looked at each other, and nodded. Making a silent agreement.
It was getting dark, so each of them put on their robes. Luckily they were all in Gryffindor. Lily felt a whole lot better, after saying what she said. They arrived at Hogwarts, hearing Hagrid keeper of Keys yelling for the first years.
"Come on Lils! Over here, saved you a seat!" James called for her. She went to a carriage, which pulled them to Hogwarts with no horses. Sirius always said they were weird looking dragon things pulling them, but no one believed him. Lily finally felt like she was finally home.
