I am sorry that it took me so long to add another chapter but the comp died and it took forever to get someone over here to fix it. However, this gave me more time to write as I wasn't spending all my time reading other peoples fics. I have several chapters to post and I will try to do so at least once a week. Just keep in mind that school starts in less than a month for me.
Also, I forgot to put a disclaimer in my last chapter so this gets to count for both:
No I do not own Lily or the Marauders or Hogwarts or much of anything in this story for that matter, this is just my version of what happened before Harry Potter existed. Anything you recognize doesn't belong to me, other than that this is from my own mind.
"Lily, we missed you so much! Come on, we already have our usual compartment saved."
"Hey Jen, its good to see you too, are the others here yet?" she replied hugging Jenna Gruben, a fellow sixth year Gryffindor.
"Yep, you're probably the only student in the entire school who waits until five minutes before eleven to make an appearance.
"Well what are you waiting for? Let's get going before we miss the train."
On The Train…
"Why do you do this to me every year?" Jenna panted as they made their way towards the back of the train.
"What are you talking about?"
"You know exactly what I mean, every year we nearly miss the train because I stay behind to wait for you, we then chase the train while dragging your trunk and owl. Someday you should try to be on time for once."
Oh come on, we both know that you love tradition, you would hate it if I wasn't late every time." Lily replied laughing.
"I'd probably die of shock. This is our compartment."
"Lils, it's about time, I was beginning to think that you had finally missed the train, it's a miracle that you haven't before now."
"It's great to see you too Temp, did you have a good summer?"
"Absolutely smashing, yourself?"
"Wonderful, how else would it be, spending that much time without seeing Potter even once? By the way, where are our beloved roomies?" she asked sitting down on top of Tempest.
"Out on a scouting mission, they wanted to check out the male population of Hogwarts, now get off me big butt." She replied laughing as she shoved Lily onto the floor.
"Typical, its become a tradition of sorts hasn't it?" Jenna asked, chuckling as Lily picked herself up from the floor.
In Another Compartment Not Far From There…
"James?"
"Yeah?"
"Am I the only one who feels like this trip is more boring than usual?"
"Well, I guess by now we would have already run into Snivelly and Co. or blown something up…"
"…Thus inducing a visit by our favorite Gryffindor girls…"
"…Lead by none other than the lovely Lily Evans…"
"…And her evil counterpart Tempest Shacklebolt."
"Do you two have any idea how freakish and weird it is that you finish eachothers sentences?" Remus asked, from behind the book that he was reading.
"According to Lily and Tempest the reason for their similar thought patterns is that they share one brain between the two of them." Peter said glancing up from the Potions essay he was writing.
"Yes, well at least our one brain thought to finish the summer homework before boarding the train to Hogwarts." Sirius said grinning.
"Touché." Peter replied smiling as he returned to his essay writing.
"Will you two please wait for me to go to the prefects meeting before you pull off whatever it is you plan to do so that when Lily tries to get information from me then I can truthfully tell her that I didn't help you?" Remus asked, smiling knowingly at their identical, evil grins.
"Oh come on, she won't suspect a thing." Sirius whined.
"Wanna bet?" Meara asked as she slid the compartment door open.
"Yeah, you should have heard her ranting a few minutes ago: "The Marauders are up to something, I hate it when they get of schedule. They are way past due for starting some sort of terrible chaos, usually by now they'd have blown something up, or 'accidentally' hitting some poor, unsuspecting first year in the crossfire while jinxing those foul Slytherins. I can't just sit here and wait for them to do whatever they are planning, I'm going to the prefect's compartment, I'll see you guys later." Jenna said in a perfect imitation of Lily.
"Wow, she knows them way too well," Remus chuckled, "And I had better get going so she doesn't give me her speech about being a responsible prefect, good luck on the prank."
"See ya Moony, have fun."
"Thanks Prongs but I'm afraid that only you could get enjoyment out of Lily's wrath, personally, I'm terrified of her when she's angry. Don't forget, the more fun you have with this prank, the less Lily will like it."
myumi-8805Thank you so much, you are my first reviewer. I am not planning on making Lily into a spoiled brat-a little bitter maybe-however, if she starts sounding too bratty please let me know.
Ami-ImATomLOVER Thank you for your review, I plan too add more chapters whenever possible and I am sorry I took so long on this one.
taiyourshoes Thank you for reading and reviewing, I love your story!
I know it wasn't very long but what you see is what you get, I'll try to make the next one longer. Please R&R, Thankies.
