How It All Began

Chapter 3
We entered the Great Hall and sat down at the Gryffindor table. Another sorting was about to begin. With Lindsey on my left and Bella on my right, I knew that I would be entertained during the long and boring sorting. There was a loud bang and everyone turned their head toward the gigantic doors. . . "The Marauders have arrived!" Potter shouted with Sirius and Remus closely behind. Potter's fan club of course started clapping, as well as Sirius and Remus's fan club.
Potter came up to the table and sat down across from me. Rachel was next to him on his left and Remus and Sirius on his right.
"Not going to sit next to your girlfriend are you Sirius?" Bella asked.
"As much as I would love to, us guys," he said pointing to Remus and James, "have got to plan our first prank of the year!"
"How about we make Snape and Malfoy girls and perform a simple charm to make any Slytherin who sees them, fall in love with them," Potter suggested. I let out an innocent snort. That would never in a million years work, and considering that Potter is horrible at Charms, it would more than likely back fire. "What is it now Evans?"
"Well, its obvious isn't it. You suck at Charms! Your idea would never work."
"Is that so Miss Know It All? Well then what do you consider doing, since you're an expert and all," Potter said in a curt tone. I noticed that Bella and Lindsey exchanged glances with one another once they realized how angry that comment made me.
"Lily, its not a big deal. Forget it," Bella whispered.
"Oh, but that's where your wrong Bella."
"Would you just swallow up your pride Evans and admit that you don't know everything!"
"I will certainly. . ." but once again I couldn't make my point because the first years were filing in.
After what seemed like hours, the sorting was over with bringing in 5 girls to Gryffindor and 6 boys.
The table filled with delicious smelling and looking food. I quickly filled my plate up with ham, potatoes, carrots, some turkey, and a chicken wing. (Hey, I was hungry!)
"Hungry are we?" Remus asked laughing.
I blushed and was about to open my mouth but realized I had a big thing of mashed potatoes in my mouth. I quickly chewed and swallowed the food, and said, "I didn't eat breakfast at all today."
"That must be it," Remus said smiling and continued to eat politely.
After about a half hour, the plates cleaned themselves and deserts filled the table.
"I think I might just have an éclair," Lindsey said picking up a chocolate one.
"What's the fun of that Linds? Have some more!" Rachel exclaimed filling her plate as well as Lindsey's with puddings and pies.
"What are you trying to do to me?" Lindsey said chuckling looking down at her mountain of food.
"You know, if you don't want it, I'll eat it!" I said.
"Evans, you might want to watch yourself a bit. If you continue to eat like that, you'll be as big as a giant, and I don't mean height wise either!" Potter said shoving a large piece of chocolate into his mouth. (Well that ruined my day!)
"Thanks for being a jerk like usual James!" (Did I just use his real name, and is that a tear running down my cheek?) I quickly wiped it away and listened intently to Professor Dumbledore trying to avoid Potter's gaze. Why did he have to be so damn mean?!
"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! I would like to announce our head boy and head girl this year! For head boy it is Justin Brennen of Ravenclaw and for head girl it is Andrea Lilithson of Gryffindor. Well done! I would also like to state that the womping willow is still off limits to those who don't wish to get severely injured. Also, there will be the first prefects meeting on Friday, the 4th of September. Now that everyone is well feed, off you all go to sleep!" Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eye.
In the Gryffindor Common Room
(Sirius's point of view)
"James, that was a really foul thing to say to her and you know it!" Lindsey shouted. Her and James have been quarreling for about 10 minutes already.
"I was only stating the obvious! Is anybody on my side for this?" Prongs looked at Remus and he looked away, he looked at me and I just shrugged. What else could I have done?
"Stop fighting about me!" Lily finally said. It was about time really.
"Lily, stay out of this. We are not fighting about you anymore, we are fighting about the principal of the whole situation," my girlfriend stated in annoyance. She was so cute when she argued. I chuckled. "What is so funny Sirius? Is this whole situation comical to you because if it is I would like to know?" Boy she can get feisty!
"Calm down, devil woman! I was laughing at the fact at how serious this conversation is, all I can think about is how cute you look when you argue," she stared at me with a look of total disbelief. "Umm, please don't hurt me!" I shouted and threw my hands up in defeat.
"I'm going to bed! This is ridiculous, and I had enough of it!" Bella screamed. Everyone was getting so frustrated.
Over in the corner where Lily sat, Remus was there. "Lils, its alright. James was just being a prat. He really didn't mean it, honest. None of us think that your fat because your not. Your beautiful!"
"What?" Lily said in disbelief. (Little known fact, Lily is in love with Remus, and a little other fact that only a select few know. . . cough. . .me. . .cough. . .Moony likes her as well. Ah yes, I know ludicrous.)
"I said you're beautiful, and you should believe it. James is just jealous that you won't give him the right time of day, that's all!"
"Thank-you Remus!"
"Anytime Lils, anytime!"
(Back to Lily)
"He said that I was beautiful Rachel!" "Congratulations Lily! Oh and Lindsey, are you still mad at Sirius?"
"No, of course I'm not. How can I be mad at such a, such a. . ."
"Hottie," Bella said from behind her curtains.
"Right you are my dear friend, right you are! Now I'm going to bed!"
Everyone went to sleep. I stayed up a while thinking, but eventually went to sleep.
The Next Morning
We all awoke to the sound of the shower running. "Lindsey must have gotten up early," moaned Bella while throwing a pillow at Rachel.
"Good morning everyone. How are you all on this lovely rainy morning?" Lindsey asked before muttering a spell that dried her hair.
"It's raining! Is there thunder and lightning, and all that good stuff?" Bella asked excitedly.
"Yup, and more! It's simply beautiful outside. I can't wait to go to the Great Hall and watch the ceiling!" Lindsey exclaimed brightly.
"What's with you two and rain?" I asked. I always knew they were fond of rain but never this much!
"Well, if you must know, Bella got her first kiss from James in an electrical storm, and Sirius asked me out during that very same electrical storm 2 years ago!"
"But Bella, you and Potter never went out after that," I said that like I stated the obvious.
"I know, but it was still me first kiss!" Bella said dreamily.
"Come on lets go," Rachel said getting annoyed at the hold up.
We entered the Great Hall and the weather according to Lindsey was 'magnificent'. It was a dreadful day, and of course my schedule for Thursday, as well as Lindsey's, Bella's, Rachel's, and the Marauder's went as followed:
Thursday
9:00- Herbology 10:30- Care Of Magical Creatures 12:00- Lunch 2:00- Arithmancy 3:30- Defense Against the Dark Arts 5:00- Dinner
Isn't that just the greatest Thursday ever? (No sarcasm there, yeah right!) The worst thing is that if I ran upstairs now to get my cloak, I would be late to Herbology, so its walking in the rain for now.
"You forgot your cloak Lindsey. Want to borrow mine?" Sirius asked her. Sometimes I get so jealous of their relationship.
"How about we share it," Lindsey suggested smiling. I watched as Sirius and Lindsey huddled under his cloak. He held her bag as well as his. He is so sweet. Remus gave his cloak to Bella to wear and Rachel brought hers with her.
"Lily, take my cloak. You're lips are turning blue, and you are drenched," Potter said. It actually sounded as if he cared for a moment.
"No thanks Potter. I'm fa-fa-fine!" I chattered. To be totally honest, I wasn't fine. I was freezing and if I stayed like this any longer I could probably develop pneumonia.
"I'm sorry Lily. Truthfully, I am sorry. Can we be friends?" Potter held out his hand and I looked at it wondering what to do. Should I accept it and become friends with him, or should I turn my back on him and continue walking. What's a girl to do?
I slowly brought my hand to his and I shook his hand firmly. "Friends," I said gradually.
"Good, now that that's settled, take my cloak!"
A/N: Hey, this is much longer than the other two. It took me so long to write this one, and I had such an ordeal with it. I was writing it the whole day, and I never saved it, and when I went online it deleted. Then like at 9:00 at night, I decided to try to rewrite it and it came back! I was so happy. Anyway, hope you like this one! Please review and I'll write more
