Marauding isn't always a charm!

Chapter 1: The Hogwarts Express.

"POTTER!!!!" A loud angry cry was heard all over the Hogwarts Express. Followed by a roar of laughter from the rest of the people in the compartment.

Standing in the middle of the compartment was a girl with amazing green eyes, which was now flaming with fury. Lily Evans had blue and purple stripes in her normally deeply red hair. She was aiming her fury at a boy sitting relaxed in the seat by the window. He kept running his hand through his wild jet-black hair and was grinning widely. James Potter tried to look innocent and said:

"Sorry Evans, I wish I could take all the credit for your beautiful appearance but I have to say that he is responsible for the blue stripes." He pointed at a handsome boy with black hair that nearly reached his waist, Sirius Black. "Nice one, mate." he added with a grin.

"I couldn't have done it without Moony, it was him who taught me the hex" he said and nodded in the direction of Remus Lupin, who was trying to suppress a grin.

"You, better turn it back before we are there, Potter" Lily said in a icy tone, "or else...." She let the treat hang in the air, and plummeted with a sigh down in her seat between to girls. One wasn't very tall, but she was stunning. She had blond hair to her shoulders and a gorgeous smile. Her name was Janie Summers. The other girl was her opposite but no less beautiful. She had thick brown hair that reached the middle of her back. Brown deer eyes and she was pretty tall. Her name was Katherine Willows.

"Don't worry Lily" Janie said reassuringly, "Sandra will know the counter curses, you can bet on that"

"Blah" Sirius said but no one noticed.

"Where is she anyway?" Katherine asked with increasing curiosity. "I haven't seen her since we boarded the train".

"She's talking to that Ravenclaw seeker, Adam Caine" Janie said and added with sigh, "He is SO cute".

Both Sirius and Remus groaned. James added trying to sound very serious " I don't hope your friend will be fraternising to much with the enemy, Lily-kins.

Lily was just about to give him a piece of her mind, when the door opened and in came Sandra. Sandra Williams was by the looks of her an average girl with blond hair. There where nothing extraordinary about her looks, except for the blue eyes. She could pierce through anything with that blue gaze of hers. However there was nothing average about her intelligence. All of he other girls did very well in school, but it did seem that without hardly any effort, Sandra was able to top them by just a little.

All the girls got up to hug their friend and the Remus and James greeted her fondly too. Sirius however, did only nod in her direction and mumbled "Williams. Back again to torment us all by your delightful presence?"

Sandra, ignoring Sirius completely, turned and looked at Lily with a small grin twitching in the corners of her mouth.

"Let me guess" she said, trying hard not to laugh now. "Potter did this to your hair?"

"However did you get so wise?" Lily sighed "I was hoping that you knew the counter curse to this stupid prank?"

Sandra pointed her wand at Lily's hair and mumbled the counter curse and as her hair returned to it's normal colour, the train rolled into Hogsmeade.
