Disclaimer: I only own May, Sierra, Lydia, and Geminey, and Blaise. The plot is written by my best friend Charmelite and me. I, unfortunately, own nothing else.

Summary: Entering sixth year, change is definitely in the air. Life becomes a roller coaster for May Delfin and Lily Evans. New friends, attitudes, and danger make friendships tighter and new loves arise.

Chapter 2: The New World of Detention: Lily



2 September 1975

Wow! All the excitement is enough to put me in a mental institute! Yesterday was a good day, but it can't compare to today. Okay... so, it's the second day of school, and so far we have made Redcaps attack Lydia as well as made the colony of Zipperweed flies chase Sierra and Lydia. I got caught with the last one, because May and Sirius had already made a run for it when I (once again) tripped on the hem of my robes which are way too big! (Thanks Mum). I fell flat on my face. James actually stopped and helped me up, but it was too late. Filch had us. I talked our way out of it, convincing Filch that it was me who decided to pile hippogriff manure in the east wing hallway. (oh! Sirius came up with that one, and don't worry we accio-ed it to the east wing...). Filch actually believed me and gave me a detention. I'm so excited my very first detention! YEAH! You're probably wondering, 'Why the heck is she so happy? The goody goody happy?' Yup! I'm thrilled! I really can't tell you why, but I liked the feeling I got when I rebelled, plus it's a new experience. You have to try new things...

Well, that was after lunch. So, I'll tell you what happened before lunch... as you know today is Tuesday. So, this morning we had Care of Magical Creatures... Bore Fest! YAWN! All Professor Smitch did was tell us what the Maladrian Plack was; we took notes, slept (well, the Marauders did...) and mostly passed notes. I swear Professor Smitch needs to retire, he's so boring and I'm beginning to think he's going blind. He thought Melisuah Harvard's hair was the Maladrian roots!

Okay, then we had a free hour before lunch started. As always, May and I went to the Library to finish our Maladrian Plack essay, and look up some quick hexes. Nothing much.

Then we had lunch. May had chicken legs, mashed potatoes, corn, and strawberry shortcake, why am I telling you this? Well, it is the writer's style to make you care about the people in the story. The more you know about them, the more you connect...ask my old muggle English professor. Well, I can't and won't tell you what James, Sirius, and Remus had for lunch, because then this journal entry would go on forever, they never stop eating! One thing that was odd for the Marauders was they were missing one of their numbers, meaning Peter. I really don't like that guy, got funny feeling about him. Who knows where he goes... anyway, I had a chicken potpie and some salad and a cherry tart. Umm mmm mmm!

Okay, so during Divination, the same thing happened again- I almost suffocated, I'm sure May did too, but I wouldn't know because she was sitting with REMUS! They make a good pair- May I'm serious! Well... the bad thing was that I was stuck at the far table with Siena, Blaise, Geminey, and Lydia. Yes, the bimbos in our dorm. Well, I won't go into detail, but Siena left with a blue face and orange hair. Yes. Again they badmouthed us for hanging around the Marauders. We are not 'wanna bees!' as they constantly said. I mean, just because we have become new friends with James, Sirius, Remus, and well... kind of Peter, does not mean that we are doing it to get attention. Anyways, I got another detention! Yeah! This time I am less enthusiastic, although James and Sirius kept patting me on the back and referring to me as 'Young Grasshopper'.

Well, that was Divination- we still had Herbology - nothing exciting happened. We learned about Sleeping Fish Weed. Oh yeah! Just so interesting! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! NOT! Peter did seem to enjoy the lesson, though. Too bad it's the only thing he understands.

Nothing much happened after Herbology. Dinner went smoothly. James and Sirius absolutely love May, and I think Remus considers I'm a good friend. I'm not sure. Anyway, James, Sirius, and I came up with a few new pranks, and I have to research them! Well, I'd better go.

Bye for now!
