Chapter 1:
"Are you ready for a night of fun?"
"And girls?"
"Yes, Sirius, girls too."
"Then I'm ready."
"You Remus?"
"I suppose."
"Then let's hit it!"
And with that, the three marauders who had newly graduated from Hogwarts began to stroll toward Lily's house. She was throwing a party because Petunia had just married Vernon and moved out. That was a reason to celebrate.
"Are you sure Peter won't mind?" Remus said, breaking the silence.
"What? That we're going without him?" James asked, ruffling his hair. "Course not. He knows he's not really a marauder."
"Yea," Sirius said. "He's not in out caliber!"
"Okay." Said Remus, uncertainly. "I just don't think it's right that he doesn't even know there's a party."
"Who cares?" exclaimed Sirius, but seeing the look on Remus' face, said, "Look, Moony, you hate him too! You know you do! He made you do his homework!"
"So did you."
"But I could beat you up."
"Intimidation will get you nowhere."
"Oh cut it out you two!" said James, moving to walk between the two. "I'm just looking forward to a night with my lady!"
At once, Sirius began yelling something like, "why can't you shut up about her for two seconds??" And even though Remus joined in, he felt his heart break. It did every time James talked about Lily. Remus loved Lily. And there was no way he could ever have her. He was just hoping for one dance tonight.
When Remus came back from his daydream about waltzing with Lily, James was saying, "Oh yeah? And why don't you have a girlfriend, dog-boy?"
"Firstly, I resent that dog remark," Sirius began. "Secondly, do you honestly expect me to stay tied down to one girl for more than a week?"
"Well, if you recall, I used to be like that and now me and Lily have been together for-"
"Seven months." Remus and Sirius finished with an exasperated sigh.
"Yes!" James continued, ignoring the annoyed looks on his friends' faces. "Almost eight actually!"
Does he have to remind me? Remus thought, groaning inwardly.
At that moment, they came to Lily's house. James bounded up the path and knocked boisterously on her door. Seconds later, Lily came to the door wearing a short green evening dress that contrasted her hair and matched her eyes perfectly. Remus almost fell over and James actually did. But he scrambled up and regained his composure as Lily giggled. James grabbed her hand, gave it a soft kiss, and whisked her into the party, leaving the other marauders on the doorstep. They looked at each other, shrugged, and went inside, Remus closing the door behind them.
