What Does Remus Mean?
Lily, Alice, and Ash were sitting in the only open compartment on the Hogwarts Express 15 minutes before it had to leave. Lily had her Tattoo covered even though she had gotten such a positive response from all her friends.
"I'm thinking about getting a rose to intertwine with it during Christmas Vacation. What do you guys think?" asked Lily.
"Great idea but kind of freaky on the grounds that you'll have almost your full name in tattoos, except for Evans," replied Ash while she sucked on a Sugar Quill that she had bought with Alice and Lily three days earlier.
"How would I tattoo Evans on myself?" Lily asked Ash.
"You could get tattoo of a bottle of Evian water on you" replied Ash smartly.
"WHAT?" asked Lily "how the hell would that work?"
"Evans Evian kinda the same. Umm, no not really forget I said it," said Ash as she returned to sucking her Sugar Quill.
"Ignore the sugar sucker over here," Alice said as she dodged a half-eaten sugar quill thrown by a very disgruntle Ash, "I think it'll be really cute Lily, to get a blood red rose but no more pink." After she finished she whipped the quill back at Ash and hit her smack in the middle of the face.
"Thanks for the opinions," said a now laughing Lily. "I haven't heard any havoc and the train leaves in three minutes. So maybe the Marauders missed the-" she was cut off by none other than the Marauders who walked through the door to their compartment.
"Can we sit with you Lily? Everywhere else is full," said Remus looking at his fellow prefect with his stony gray eyes.
"Ok Remus ONLY if the two animals promise to behave," She replied with out finishing her thought. She was now eyeing James and Sirius suspiciously. They were both trying to look innocent but failing miserably…
"Ok we promise Evans GOD," said Sirius crossing over to sit next to Ash who looked semi-disgusted but happy at the same time.
Only Alice and Lily knew about her long time crush on Sirius even though Ash didn't know about it quite yet. She was in denial or as Lily and Alice liked to call it "being a stupid ignorant prat who likes to ignore her emotions". But either way… facts were facts. Remus was sitting near Alice even though she was going out with Frank. The only seat left was next to Lily so an eager James took it.
"Well, you guys do something um well different to your selves every year so what did you do this year," asked a clueless Sirius who was clearly trying to pick out something different about the three Gryfindor girls. "I see that you've pierce your ears again, Ash re-died her hair, new cloths that look positively scrumptious and well if you adjusted your uniforms anymore you'd be hanging out, not that I'd mind that," said Sirius.
"But what's new!" He shouted as Ash hit him in the chest. HARD!
"Well girls what do you think? Should we show them?" asked Ash looking at her two best friends with seductive eyes.
"As soon as Frank get here, why the hell not?" said Alice who glanced at her two compadres who both nodded because Frank walked through the door and sat next to Alice's other side. Remus was now squished between the couple and the wall.
Looking sincerely amused, the girls all walked to the middle of the compartment and each faced in a different direction (Ash towards Sirius, Alice towards Frank and Remus and Lily towards James.)
"Are y'all ready for this?" asked Lily eyeing James seductively with a certain flirting quality that made everyone else's jaw drop. James hoped and prayed to god that he wouldn't go hard in front of Lily.
"On three girls," said Lily still keeping eye contact with James.
"One" said Ash flirting with Sirius. All three girls grabbed the bottom of their shirts with their perfectly French manicured hands (in a sexy way just picture a strip tease).
"Two," said Alice as the girls started to raise their shirts to just below their navels, (I HATE that world lol) she was shamelessly flirting with Frank who was practically drooling at her perfectly (Like Lily and Ash's) tan skin.
"Three," said Lily all the girls slowly lifted their shirts to expose their new piercing. All four guys gasped and leaned forward to touch them but all of the sudden the turned around and the train stopped with such a sudden lurch that all three girls fell over and landed in one of the Marauder's (Except Alice who fell on Frank) laps. Ash and Lily remained on James and Sirius's Laps.
"Well, well, well, what is that?" asked James as he put is chin over Lily's shoulder and noticed her Tattoo, which was peeking out of her skirt. Lily hastily tried to cover it but the damage was done.
"What's what? What's what?" asked Sirius who was now bouncing up and down with Ash still on his Lap now bouncing with him looking very disgruntled.
"Its nothing," said Lily a little to quickly as she continued to sit on James, not catching the odd looks that she was getting from her friends and the Marauders.
"Lilyyyyyyyyyyyyy," whined Sirius "I SAW the pink outlined in black." Sirius thought for a minute the he gasped in and said "HOLY poop it's a Tattoo ohohoh show us pleaseeeeeeeeeee!" and gave her puppy eyes…Literally.
A very pissed Lily stood up and James put his hands on her waist to steady her and she didn't smack his hands away or call him a bloody Toe rag. She allowed his hands to stay. She started to show Sirius and the turned to James first "You noticed it first so I'll show it to you first. And if Sirius doesn't stop grumbling then you'll will also be the last to see it ok James?" she said, looking into his hazel eyes with her piercing green eyes. Sirius had shut-up and Lily slowly lowered her skirt and show the small pink Lily which was now imbedded into her perfect tan stomach.
"Wow Lily that's hot," said James and he traced it with his fingers. Lily smiled and showed off her tattoo to Remus, Frank and lastly Sirius who let out a dog-like howl and smiled. Lily sat down but on the seat this time.
"Ummmmmmmm, we have to change. So, if you guys don't mind leaving so we could change we'll open the door when we're done" said Ash who was eyeing James and Lily suspiciously.
"No problem babe," said Sirius as he moved her off his lap winked and walked out of the compartment.
"Lets go find Peter." he murmured to the marauders as they left to give the girls privacy.
"Ok Lily spill now," said Alice as she pulled her robes and tie on. Something they obviously could have done in front of the guys. "You and James looked very cozy."
"I dunno," said Lily. "He seems different. Maybe just maybe if James would stay this way, so grown up, I'd give him a chance on that stupid date that he been after since third year." said Lily then she yawned and continued "but that will never happen."
The Marauders were standing just outside the door, "Well Prongs you have yourself a challenge. What do you guys say to helping Prongs?" asked Sirius.
"Ok," said Remus and Peter without an ounce of emotion as they were let inside by the now properly dressed girls.
Ash, Alice, Lily and the Marauders all sat and talked until they arrived at Hogsmead station. The two groups sat together in the carriages and in the Great hall, which was a surprise to all because Lily and James were within five feet of each other and they weren't going at it.
Professor McGonagall walked swiftly into the hall with the stool and school sorting hat under her arm and a scroll that had the names of the new first years on it. The hat began its song about the houses and their founders. The sorting started with "Anilla, Caspian" who was sorted into Ravenclaw and finished with "Zimmer, Caddy" who was sorted into Gryfindor.
Dumbledore stood up and said, "We have a new sixth year girl transferring from John Simmers School for Witches and Wizards in Los Angeles, California. Please welcome Joey Spencer!" at that the great hall doors burst open and a sixteen year old witch stood in the door.
She was wearing the Hogwarts robes. She had darkly tanned skin, honey-blonde hair and eyes that almost looked violet in the light of the torches. She walked with her head held high and sat on the stool. The hall watched as she waited to be sorted. After about five minutes the hat screamed "Gryffindor". The Gryfindor table broke into applause as she walked over and sat next to a fifth year named Nattily Hollard and began to eat.
"Well girls," said Lily as the dessert disappeared "it looks like we've a new dorm mate let's go collect her."
"But Lily don't you have to show the first year their dorms?" asked Ash.
"Nope," said Lily happily "Fifth year prefect's job. Not mine." She walked over to Joey and greeted her happily, "Hi I'm Lily and I'm in your dorm. My friends Ash and Alice are waiting by the door with the Marauders who are the sixth year Gryfindor boys so come on," she grabbed Joey's hand without waiting for a response.
"Ok," said Joey as Lily dragged her to the doors.
"Ok Joey this is Ash, Alice, James, Peter, Sirius and Remus who is a prefect along with myself and everyone this is Joey. Now lets go up to the common room, Remus and I have patrol duty," said Lily and the group started off to the Gryfindor tower until…
"Hey follow us," said James as he got off at the third floor and ran towards a large oak door. Lily looked at the Marauders and her friends as they all ran after James. When they caught up with him he was standing in front of a tapestry with a unicorn and a waterfall on it.
"Ok this is a passage that us Marauders have been using for years and we are going to show it to you girls but you CAN NOT tell anyone," said James very firmly. "Do you all agree?" Ash Alice Joey and Lily nodded.
"Follow us," said Sirius as he and James patted the unicorn. All of the sudden the waterfall parted and there was an opening in the stone wall behind the tapestry. All four girls' jaws dropped and they followed the Marauders into the passage. Inside there was a white staircase that curved around a gold column. "Step on," said Sirius from the white staircase. Once they were all on the staircase he said "Gryfindor tower please" and the stairs lurched upwards and in a total of 35 seconds the stairs stopped and a stone wall opened and the walked out inside the Gryfindor tower.
"Welcome to your new home Joey," Remus said looking at the beach beauty in front of him who mesmerized him. When he finally snapped out of his trance he turned to Lily and said, "Lily if we don't leave now we might be late for patrolling."
"Its times like these I hate being a Prefect!" grumbled Lily as she and Remus walked out the portrait hole.
"Well Joey lets go upstairs and unpack. Lily will be back in an hour and then maybe you can tell us about L.A!" said Ash as they walked up the stairs to their dorm.
Lily and Remus
Remus and Lily had already made it to the third floor (the started in the dungeons and were working up to the common room) and had just finished talking about their summers.
"Remus," said Lily as she turned to face him "what happened to James?"
"What do you mean?" asked Remus who looked like he was hiding something.
"James has actually been acting like a human being and well… tolerable," Lily said honestly "Why?"
"Well Lily, James might be trying to change for you," said Remus "He may act like a pompous, arrogant, twit but he's not really like that maybe today you saw the real James. But you can't expect him to change overnight, it takes time," he finished. "Now let's just go upstairs were only a floor away anyway."
Lily nodded and followed. But in reality she was totally lost in thought. Remus and Lily entered the empty common room and bid each other good night and climbed the stairs to their dorms.
When Remus arrived in his dorm all his friends were sleeping so he took a shower and climbed into bed and fell into a deep dream-filled sleep about a certain new Gryfindor girl…
Lily
Lily quickly climbed the stairs to her dorm where she expected to find everyone asleep as it was 10:30 and a school night. The sight she saw upon entering the dorm was shocking to say the least. Ash, Alice and Joey were standing next to her empty trunk. "Where is all my stuff?" asked Lily a little nervously.
"We put it away so we could get straight to talking and stuff…" said Ash "now come on girls night!" and with that they pounced on her with a wide variety of cosmetics.
An hour later all four girls lay on the beds, which they had pushed into the center of the room to form one huge bed.
"So Joey do you have a boyfriend back in the U.S.?" asked Lily from behind her facial mask.
"Nope single all American girl who lives in London," replied Joey. "Ok this stuff is really starting to itch lets take it off," she said removing the cucumbers from her eyes and sitting up. Over the past hour Joey had told her new friends all about her old life in LA. From cheerleading to surfing and meeting famous people and modeling. She shared it all except for one thing… but that would be kept to her self she didn't need help. It wasn't a problem and she was going to stop…soon.
Lily flicked her wand and the green apple mask had vanished from their faces. While listening to Joey talk they had charmed nail polish to paint their nails and toes, had everything that needed to be shaved had been shaved and had done facials. Joey fascinated Lily but she had the feeling that she was keeping something from them. But if she wanted to tell them she would.
Ash yawned and said, "Let's go to bed we have classes in 8 hours and we have to get up and ready."
"Ok," the others agreed and ran to the showers then to bed.
The next morning after the girls had fought over the mirror and other things they arrived in the great hall. Lily was in a good mood until she saw James sitting at their house table snogging a blonde Huffelpuff senseless. She threw an old look of her utmost loathing at James and the rest of the Marauders before going to sit at the opposite end of the table. She sat down and grabbed two waffles which were covered in maple syrup (The good stuff not the fake shit from like Ego and such) and butter, then she grabbed some bacon and a glass of pumpkin juice and began to eat. Ash and Alice stared at her before filling their plates and eating.
"What's with Lily?" asked Joey for she knew not the relationship that James and Lily share. Ash and Alice gave a hurried explanation of the two Gryfindor relationship and said they would go into more explanation later.
Soon after that Professor McGonagall came around with the new timetables. Lily, Ash and Joey had the same schedules. All O.W.L. classes, which meant Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, DADA, Herbology, Muggle Studies, Care of Magical Creatures, History of Magic and Ancient Ruins. (Spread out over the week Repeating) with the exception of Alice who had mostly O.W.L. classes with the exception of potions and transfiguration. So it was a Monday the first Monday of the term and Ash, Joey, Lily, and three of the Marauders had this schedule.
Monday

2:35- 4:45 double potions

9:30-11:30- Double Charms
11:30-12:00 lunch
12:15-2:15 Double Muggle Studies
2:15-3:00 Herbology
3:00-4:00- Ancient Ruins
4:00-5:00- Free
The schedules were like that every day with the doubles switching about.
"Homework is going to be a pain in the ass this year," thought Ash and Sirius to themselves as they headed to History of Magic, where they could rely on Lily to set her notes quill to take notes for her and then all eight of them would place a softening charm on the desks and chairs and sleep.
By the end of the first week the sixth years were LOADED with homework and couldn't wait for the weekend so they could catch up on the sleep that they were so deprived of. But the new Gryfindor Quiditch captain had different ideas for his team…
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that it for this chapter it's a little longer than the others. Now on a different note… drill surgeon voice THESE REVIEWS ARE WEAK! I need something to get my creative juices flowing (NOT LIKE THAT YOU PERVERTS I'm A GIRL!) so until I have twenty-five reviews and not three from the same person! There will be no chapter eight. And to add to my evilness here a preview
"There will be a Winter Ball for fifth years and up and a new source of entertainment" said Professor Dumbledore with a twinkle in his blue eyes. And… "Up Up UP" screamed the Gryfindor Quiditch Captain "I booked the field from five-thirty till three this afternoon and we will be there the entire time so we can see what we need to do before the other teams start practicing." He then was pelted with pillows and called many curses especially after he sent the drapes soaring open and sprayed water all over his team in that dorm. 'Now on the next dorm he thought eagerly' as he hurried off. So review! And lets all snap for my Beta and Best Friend LIZZIE! Now if you don't review you will al be damned to have NO LOVE/SOCIAL LIFE until you do review no slammers please Puppy Eyes
