Author's Note: I know, I know. It's been forever since I've updated. I've just had the worst writer's block. As a matter of fact, I still do. But I just feel so horrible for not writing this chapter that I had to try one more time. I did post a new story to help me out with the writer's block. It's called A Match Well Made and I actually really like it. I'd be so grateful if you read it and reviewed. It would seriously make me day! Now on with the chapter…I hope it won't turn out too horrible.

Chapter Five: An Interesting Year

"Jason? What are you doing here?" a bewildered Lily asked.

"I'm going to Hogwarts! I switched schools over the summer. And not only am I going to Hogwarts, but I'm going to be Head Boy. Dumbledore said that I seemed qualified enough and since I was going to be Head Boy at my other school that it would be fine. So here I am. And I heard that this year's Head Girl was supposed to be gorgeous. You wouldn't happen to know her would you?" James said.

"I'm not too sure." Lily said, catching on to Jason. "What does she look like?"

"She's kind of short, but definitely cute. She has beautiful, long read hair, along with these captivating green eyes. She's like a flower in beauty and in personality." James said walking over to Lily and wrapping his muscular arms around her.

"I think you're holding that girl in your arms right now." Lily stood on her tiptoes to give James the most tantalizing kiss he'd ever had.

Their snog session continued for a while until Sirius and Lynn, who were still in the compartment, had to break it up.

"If I don't stop you guys now, there might be some children running around soon. And we wouldn't want that to happen yet, now would we?" Sirius said.

"Fine, fine. I guess I should introduce you guys. Lynn, Sirius, this is Jason Peterson. Jason, this is Lynn and Sirius. You've met Lynn once this summer." They all said their hellos and there was silence. Lily began to whisper something in Jason's ear.

"Sirius is James Potter's best friend. You remember me telling you about James, right?"

"Yeah, he's the guy you hate." James whispered back. The word hate killing him inside.

"So, Sirius, where is your pigheaded friend, Potter? He wasn't killed over the summer, was he?" Lily asked.

"He's still alive."

"Pity."

"He's just at another school. His parents thought it would be a good experience for him. To become acclimated with different societies." Sirius stated.

"He's going to be gone for the whole year then?" Lily asked.

"Possibly. It's not certain when he'll be back." Sirius said, glancing at Jason. "Hopefully he'll be back VERY soon."

Sirius then began talking with Lynn. Lily just cuddled closer to Jason and eventually fell asleep. James kept contemplating the words Lily had said to Sirius about him. It hurt to know that the one girl he truly loved hated him with so much passion. This was going to be one hell of a year.

Dinner went by without anything monumental happening. Jason was introduced to the school. Sirius and Dumbledore remained the only ones to know of his true identity. Although, the decision to tell Remus and Peter was soon upon James and Sirius. They both knew that the other two Marauders would ask questions when they returned to their room. Once again, James and Sirius were correct in their assumptions.

"Jason, where are you originally from?" questioned the one and only Remus Lupin.

"Well, my name isn't actually Jason."

"But didn't Dumbledore say that was your name?" asked a very confused Peter.

"Yeah, he did say that was my name, but I'm not really Jason. Guys, it's me. Prongs. James. Whatever you want to call me. Anything but Jamie…"

"Wait, why are you doing this whole Jason thing then?" inquired Remus.

"Well, you guys know how much I've hated Lily-I mean, Evans? I decided to finally humiliate her. To prove once and for all that I, James Potter, was the greater of the two. Sirius found out from Lynn that they were going Hawaii this summer. So we thought that we could get her to fall totally in love with me as Jason and just break her heart after it. And possibly more. The appearance charm we used hasn't actually gone away yet though." James said.

"I guess that explains why you looked slightly like James. Why didn't you tell us sooner, Prongs?" Remus asked.

"I don't know. You guys aren't mad, are you?" Remus and Peter shook their heads no. "Good." said James.

"So did you break Lily's heart?" Remus asked cautiously.

"Well, that's kind of where the plan backfired…" Sirius stated.

"Oh, I see. James fell for her. Didn't you?" Remus asked. James nodded reluctantly.

"Well, mate, we'll see to it that you get through this. And that you get the girl." Remus said confidently.

"You guys would really help me do this?"

"Of course, Prongsie! We're not going to just abandon you! The Marauders stick together! Now let's go to the kitchens! I'm starving!" Sirius declared.

"Sirius, we just had dinner 30 minutes ago." James said.

"So? I can't help it if I'm a growing boy! I need food, lover boy!"

"I swear, all you ever think about is your stomach. I can't believe you're not fat." Remus said.

"I have a high metabolism. Now let's go!" Sirius said. The four boys were off, Sirius leading the way.

**************

"Lily, why aren't you with Jason?" Lynn asked.

"Well, I thought he could use the night to get acquainted with his roommates. I mean, all he's got is the Marauders; he might as well become friends with them."

"True. It's kind of odd that he was transferred here. But I'm really glad he was. I don't think I could have handled a whole year of you complaining about how much you miss him!"

"Ha ha ha. Very funny, Lynn. I would not have complained. Lily, you were complaining the first day we left Hawaii. Trust me, you'd be complaining the whole year. You've just got it bad, Lils."

"Hey, you've got it just as bad. You and Sirius are just…just…ugh. I can't even describe it."

"What can I say? Men…can't live with them, can't live without them. You just have to love them."

"Oh, I do love them. Well, not them. Just Jason." Lily began to stare off into space with a dreamy look on her face.

"Well, this year should be interesting…" Lynn said as she tried to snap Lily out of dreamland.

Author's Note: Ok, so that was horrible. I'm sorry it took so long. Really, I am. I just hope you guys don't hate me for making this poor excuse for an update. Hopefully the next chapter will be out soon. And hopefully it'll be a whole lot better. The next chapter will contain more Jason/Lily action! The return of James should be in 2 or 3 chapters! So I know we'll all be looking forward to that! Now review and make me feel special! :)
