A/N: Okay here is the last chapter for the 1st year! YES!! Anyway people about the last chapter, I was talking to EyesofEmerald (my beta reader) and we both know that I did not steal her ideas! It may be similar, but believe me it is hard to come up with L/J stuff. If I ever want to use other peoples material I would always ask, and if the said yes then I would put it in my disclaimer! So please stop blaming me for stuff that I didn't do! Anyways read and review!
Reviewers:
Amy Lampion: I am glad that you find my story interesting! I have read EyesofEmerald story, plus I talk to her everyday, we have a lot in common, I wouldn't be surprised if my story might sound like hers. Plus I find that a compliment, though I will try to work extra hard to make it creative and original! Thanks for reviewing!
EyesofEmerald: Thank you, thank you! And I will update soon, well I hope!
Dulcis Caelum: Okay thank you for telling me your opinion and giving me proof. Like I said I already talked to EyesofEmerald, we really don't think that we copied each other. True, she does give me ideas (she is my beta reader) and I sometimes give her ideas. Though I had no idea that our ideas were the same, if I did I would have wrote something different. I am glad that you are concerned for all the other writers, and I thank you for pointing that out to me, I will try to make my ideas as original as possible, but believe me that is difficult with all of the other writers on this site! Thanks for reviewing. And also about the name of the chapter, she didn't come up with it by herself.
Misty Cherry: Well thank you! I am glad that someone enjoys the stuff that I write! I have read your story and sent you a review, I loved it! Thanks for reviewing!
Lovingron: I am so happy that you loved it! You made my day! Please continue to Review!
Disclaimer: Do you even need to ask? Fine! I don't own Harry Potter! Alright! I don't I admit it!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!
Chapter 12: Exams
Time quickly passed for the Marauders. Thanks to the Room of Requirements they now knew more passageways than any other student, maybe even Filch. It was already early June and exams were approaching too quickly.
Everyone these days were either studying, or panicking about the stuff that they didn't know. Remus was to be found in the library whenever they had free time.
Lily was another one. She tried to force her friends to study with her a month before the exams. The result was Lily sitting in the library by herself usually in a particularly foul mood.
James and Sirius however found that their own knowledge was enough to get them by, and that they didn't need to study for the exams. They said that they would study the night before and no sooner.
Peter however was another story. He spent most of his time with Remus, asking him questions on every subject.
Remus seemed to miss school a lot. They all noticed how he left each month to go visit his mother and it somehow didn't seem to make much sense.
Lily was sitting in the library once again by herself. She had been studying for about a month now. The exams were in only two days, and as the hours went by Lily became more nervous.
She had no idea what the end-of-year test would be like. True she was one of the top students in her year, but she still didn't feel comfortable not studying. To her surprise she was joined by Athena.
"What are you doing here?"
"Um, came to study. Is that a surprise?"
"Yes! I didn't even think that you knew where the library was!"
"I'm not that thick Lily!"
"I wasn't saying tha-"
"It's ok! Anyway is it a problem if I study with you?"
"No, of course not! Where's Alice?"
"No idea, last time I saw her she was in the common room talking to Laura (A/N: If you don't remember Laura she is one of the other Gryffindor girls.)
"Oh."
"Yeah, anyways, what are you studying for?"
"Oh, Charms."
"What?! Why are you studying for Charms? It's your best subject!"
"Yeah, I know, but you can't be too careful!"
"Man, Lily, you are really weird sometimes!"
"Well, thank you, aren't you sweet! Anyway you said you came to study not to chat."
"Oh, yeah, right. I am about to go to the land of knowledge where I can learn all about the difference between a curse and a hex. I can explore the world of-"
"Athena! I am trying to study!"
"Sorry! And she has gone to the land of no return, the place where exams and grades take over your brain. Our wonderful Lily Evans has gone, she is lost, and she shall never-"
"Athena! This is the last time I'll say it-"
Just then Madam Pince the librarian come over to them, and said that they must leave because they were making far too much noise.
"Sorry Lil!"
"It's fine! Let's just go to the common room and study there."
For the next two days students studied in the library nonstop. James and Sirius finally started to study, but only because Remus forced them too. The students all went to bed dreading the exams that were to be taken the next day.
Lily, Alice, and Athena walked to dinner extremely tired from the long day of exams. Though they all thought they weren't as hard as they thought they would be.
"I think that Transfiguration was the hardest." said Lily after they began to eat.
"Nah, History of Magic was definitely the hardest!" Athena said after awhile.
"Well if you studied maybe you wouldn't think that!"
"Well if you would have let me copy your notes I might not think that!"
"Will you two be quiet?!" Alice said after a minute of their arguing. (A/N: not to make you think that they hate each other, they are best friends; all three of them, but Lily and Athena are kinda like Hermione and Ron. Anyways on with the story!)
"Fine, but I still think History of Magic was the hardest! Who cares about some stupid Goblin Rebellion anyway?"
Lily just rolled her eyes at her friend and continued to eat.
Before any of them knew it the school year was over and they were all sitting in the Great Hall for the End of Year Feast. The Gryffindors won the house cup, and once this was announced, they all threw their hats up in the air. Someone (A/N: guess who!) put a spell on all the hats so they would explode into thousands of pieces of Gold and Scarlet confetti.
It was one of the funniest days of Lily's life. She was sad once they got off of the Hogwarts Express and said good-bye to her friends, promising that she would write them over the summer.
Then she walked through the barrier to the muggle world and left the world that had become her home in the past year. "Just two and a half months. That's all. Then I can come back!" she thought to herself as she walked up to her parents.
A/N: YES!!!!!! I am finally done with 1st year!!! PARTY!!! OK, anyways, sorry that chapter was so short but there wasn't much to say! Anyway next chapter summer then on to year 2! Yeah, I'm lovin it! (Sorry) Anyway please review!
