A/N: Ok first of all I just want to let you know that I hate Peter so in this story he never existed.

It was Lily Evans 18th birthday and she threw a major party. Her parents went to the states for the summer so she was by herself.

"Lily"

Lily looked in the direction of the voice.

"Ally, Maria," Lily cried running over and hugging her two best friends. "What are you doing here?"

"Well," Ally started "our mom's said..."

"That if you said it was okay..." Maria cut in.

"That us and some of our friends could stay here for the rest of the summer here with you," Ally finished.

"Sure," Lily replied ecstatically "but who are these friends you guys were talking about."

All of a sudden she felt a pair of strong arms pick her up and throw her into the pool. When she looked up she felt herself start drowning in a pair of gorgeous deep hazel eyes.

"Need help," the handsome young man asked holding out his hand.

"Why yes," Lily said taking the hand he offered her and then yanking him into the pool.

No sooner had he sputtered to the surface than Lily launched herself into his arms.

"JAMES," she squealed.

"Good to see you too Lily but do you think you could let me breathe," James asked.

"Sorry," Lily said as they climbed out of the pool and wrapped themselves in towels.

"Hey James Lily over here," another male voice called.

"Sirius, Remus you guys are here." Lily cried running over and giving them both a hug.

"Lily," said another guy coming up behind them and putting his arm around Lily "are you going to introduce me to your friends?"

"Sure," Lily replied shrugging "Steve this is James, Remus, Ally, Maria and Sirius though he rarely is"

"Hey I resent that," Sirius said crossing his arms and sticking his nose in the air "I can be Sirius"

"Sure Sirius you just keep thinking that anyway as I was saying...you guys this is Steve my..."

"Boyfriend," Steve cut in "I'm her boyfriend."
