FOREWORD
So, everyone like the last couple of chapters? I'm trying to make them longer. Right now my average is about 16 pages. Anyway, remember, Lily and James DO end up together but they only really start dating in Seventh Year, once he had deflated his head a bit'. Yes, yes. What you have to look forward to:
Fifth Year:
The Sirius/Snape Prank The Book 5 Canon/Pensieve Scene
Sixth Year:
I won't tell you because that would spoil it! But there may be more Remus/Chelsea fluff, although it's gonna get pretty angsty between them, remember, she learned his secret. And Kate and Sirius realize they may not be as perfect for each other as they think. Stay tuned....
---------------------------------------
James wandered down to the Great Hall for breakfast rather coolly. He stood out in front of the Marauders and acted like the prat he was. As they entered the Great Hall, James and Sirius, though he had a girlfriend, flashed everyone charming smiles. They immediately had their old fan group trailing after them as they sat down in the middle of the Gryffindor Table. The secret was out: James Potter, prankster extrodinaire, was single again.
That made for quite a scene.
Lily, Kate, and Chelsea stepped into the Great Hall shortly after. It was the first day of classes so everyone was back at Hogwarts, catching up with each other. The Reds sat at the end furthest from the Marauders, which was quite difficult since the Marauders' took up all of the middle of the table.
Then the Slytherins came in. They were looking rather smug, even though they had been beat singlehandedly by the shy and quiet Marauder, Remus Lupin. They all sat down at their table and glared at the rest of the school. Winnifred and Severus sat at the end of the table, away from the rest of the Slytherins.
"Severus, that Lupin kid beat the crap out of us," Winnifred said as her eyes wandered over to where Remus was sitting. Severus scoffed.
"Honestly, Winnifred. He did, but we were unarmed.
"Right.... I saw you put your wand in your pocket before we left." She smirked at him. "Well, I'm going to go over there, hmmm?" She stood up and left, leaving a scowling Severus behind her. She went over to the Gryffindor table and stood directly behind Sirius Black. She tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around.
"What do you want, Wilkes?
Winnifred smiled seductively at him.
"I want you to stop antagonizing Severus Snape, please. All of you." She glared at them all. "Thanks." With that she turned and left the Great Hall.
Sirius gaped after her before turning back to his friends.
"She's hot.
"What?!" the other three Marauders asked, very bewildered. Sirius shrugged. James glanced down the table at a certain gorgeous redhead. She was talking animatedly with Chelsea's older brother Andrew. He was smart, a Ravenclaw Seventh Year and very well-liked among the female population of the school. He was tall, with brown hair and grey eyes. He had even been in the top three percent for O.W.L.'s and was a prefect to boot.
Lily glanced down the table at a certain bespectacled boy who locked eyes with her momentarily. She looked away and back at Andrew to resume their conversation about different types of flying charms.
"--my personal favorite is the charm they use to activate the snitch. Quite fascinating, really. It's the--
"Chronicus Andromedus Charm. I'm rather fond of that one myself," Lily interjected enthusiastically. Andrew grinned at the girl in front of him. She was pretty and smart. No doubt would have done well in Reavenclaw, but the Sorting Hat had to put her in Gryffindor. That didn't mean all hope was lost.
"Hey, Lils, can I talk to you alone for a minute?" he asked, standing up and gestering towards the Entrance Hall. Lily nodded and followed him outside the Great Hall.
"What?" she asked.
"I sorta wanted to know if...if you'd gotoHogsmeadewithmethisweekendbecausethere'satripandIustthoughtyou'dliketogowithme.
Lily gaped at him.
"What?
Andrew took a deep breath and took two long strides over to Lily, closing the gap between them. He took her firmly by the shoulders and planted a kiss right on her lips. Lily was rigid and couldn't think well enough to stop him. He stepped back.
"Would you like to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekeng?" Lily was still in shock.
"I, well, I have to think about it. I was going to go with Chelsea and Kate...I'll...I'll think about it, okay?" He nodded and stalked off towards his next lesson, leaving Lily stairing strangely after him.
------------------------------------------
James's eyes wandered toward a pretty brunette girl that had left the Great Hall. Operation Get Lily Evans Part A is about to go under way, he thought. He jumped up.
"Sorry guys, gotta go get a date for Hogsmeade weekend. Sirius and Remus waved him off mildly and continued to eat their breakfasts.
"Hey, you! Wait!" James ran after the girl who had several books clutched in her arms. She reminds me of Lily, James thought before mentally slapping himself.
"Yes?" The brunette turned her grey blue eyes to James who was holding a stitch in his side.
"I wanted to know--if you wanted--to go to Hogsmeade with me--this--weekend." She smiled broadly.
"Certainly, James."
"Thanks, Samantha is it? Samantha Cook? Yeah, I've been hearing pretty great things about you lately. They are definitely true. Brains, looks, a great personality..." he trailed off. Samantha blushed a deep crimson and muttered her goodbyes quickly.
"Well that was easy," he said as he watched her rapidly retreating back. James turned and strode back across the Entrance Hall, whistling merrily as he went. It was then that he turned the corner by the grand staricase that he happened upon Lily, who was very red in the face, being kissed by Chelsea's brother. James's face went white. Has she already forgotten me that fast, he thought.
No, she just thinks you're a jerk, which you are.
Who are you?
I'm you.
No, really.
Yes, really.
Who sent you, Mr. I'm You?
You're even more difficult than I thought.
And proud of it!
I'm you. I've come to help you go through your childhood--
Mister, I'm fifteen years old. My childhood ended long ago. You're a little late.
Fine, I'm here to help through your torturous life.
Hey, my life is not torturous.
Is to.
Is not.
Is to.
Is not.
Fine, fine. Anything to shut you up.
Why?
Because you are stupid and incompetant, that's why.
Am not.
Are to.
Am not.
Are to.
Am not.
Fine, fine. Anything to shut you up.
Someone's getting redundant.
You can say that again.
Someone's getting redundant.
You can say that again.
Someone's getting redundant.
You can say that again.
Someone's getting redundant.
You can say that--hey! Shut up!
Why should I?
Because I rule you.
Yeah? Well, who rules you? Who sent you?
God sent me.
Really.
No.
Ha.
Hey, watch it. I'm the smart part of you, so I can mentally harm you.
How?
Scarr you for life.
How about not?
Sounds like a plan. Now, to get Miss Evans to like you--
Oh no, now you are getting to sound like Sirius. I do NOT want an insane madman running lose in my brain with complete control over every action I do.
Well, not exactly, but--
Leave me alone.
No can do.
Why.
Stop whining.
No.
Yes.
No.
Yes.
No.
Fine, fine, anything to shut you up.
Someone's getting redundant.
Not this again. Sigh You can say that again.
Thanks, I think I will. Someone's getting redundant.
You can say that again.
Someone's getting redundant.
You can say that again....

The days after that went by pretty uneventfully, unless you count Sirius spilling multiple jugs of orange juice over at the breakfast table, Sirius running around the common room accidentally only wearing his underwear [A/N: grimaces. Eww, Sirius in undies, definitely not a good mental image. I'm going to have nightmares for a week now.
No you're not.
Ack, get away from me, demon!
Cackle cackle cackle. On with the story.], Sirius accidentally jumping on James while he walked back from a tiring Quidditch practice and almost killing him, and Sirius almost admitting that Remus was a werewolf about fifteen times in one day. Amazing, even for Sirius.
[A/N: Well everyone, I wanted this chapter to be longer but for times sake I need to get the story moving. You can expect the canon in a couple of chapters and I might go and redo this one to make it long or add the next chapter to it, but I'm not sure yet. You'll just have to wait and see!
