Chapter 1- The Necklace

"So Lily, let's go!" Alexa said. She was Lily's bestfriend.

"Prof. McGonagall asked me to stay after Transfiguration" Lily replied. "So is it okay if you go ahead?"

"Yeah sure… I better make sure Gary (Lily's other friend) doesn't get too drunk" Alexa said while rolling her eyes and Lily chuckled. It was Butterbeer night in Gryffindor Tower and Gary is known as a very heavy drinker.

"Well you better go now" Alexa waved goodbye and Lily turned to McGonagall's table where she and Potter were having an argument.

"Professor! Is it fair to give me detention just because Sirius was very clumsy and let out a Firecracker which was obviously planted in my book bag?" James protested ignoring at how ridiculous the sentence sounded.

"Not just a firecracker, Mr. Potter" McGonagall corrected.

"10 Firecrackers who incidentally nearly burned your robes and Snape's hair but it was just an innocent mistake!" James explained.

"Innocent it may be as you have stubbornly stated, As your head of house it is my duty to give you a sufficient punishment that is why I have arranged a meeting with you and Ms. Evans"

"Fine but don't blame me if you can't fall asleep at night because of a guilt-ridden heart!" then suddenly recognition dawned on James face "L-Lily E-Evans?"

"That's right Mr. Potter. Ms. Evans kindly come closer please" Prof. McGonagall said.

"Yes Professor" Lily said coolly taking no notice at James hanging jaw.

"Well before we begin- Mr. Potter please close your mouth- You of course noticed that Halloween is coming up (Lily nodded) and The Headmaster wants a little play for Halloween and I want you two to head the production…"

"But professor McGonagall! You do realize that me and Pot—"

"I'd rather you address me by my name Lily"

"You do realize that me and Potter have an awful friction between us and it'll just make the play disastrous"

"I expect you to put aside your personal differences and one more thing, the play must be original and made by you" McGonagall said.

"W-What?" the other two chorused.

"I must go now.." McGonagall said crisply and swept out of the room.

"I-have-to-work-with-you?" Lily hissed.

"Sounds like it Lily love" James said nonchalantly.

"What did you do with McGonagall?"

"Professor McGonagall to you" James corrected.

"An Unforgivable? Bribery? Was that Sirius under the Polyjuice potion?" Lily accused.

"No! No! and EEW No!" James replied, "Stop overreacting! And at least try to be more mature about the situation…" James then strode out of the room.

"I can't believe this night ended with you talking about maturity…" Lily groaned and followed James. Just as they were outside they nearly bumped into Professor Dumbledore.

"Oh! Professor Dumbledore!" Lily exclaimed feeling flushed.

"Why… Professor Dumbledore having a nice evening I suppose?" James said shaking the Professor's hand.

"Of Course, Of Course…" Dumbledore then turned to Lily, "And Ms. Evans I assume Prof. McGonagall has told you about the play?"

"Y-Yes Sir…" Lily replied nervously.

Well I hope this inspires you…" Dumbledore handed Lily a silver necklace with an emerald pendant and lining it is gold.

"Sir I—" Lily stammered.

"Nonsense… I'd like to see a marvelous play"

"Thank you sir" Lily said unsurely.

"Your very welcome… Now I must go I'm afraid Mr. Black has handed me too much Butterbeer… Goodbye" and with that Dumbledore apparated. Lily was still staring at the necklace feeling a bit squeamish. Was it just her or was there something in that twinkle in Dumbledore's eye that made her nervous.

"Well that was pleasant" James commented interrupting Lily's thoughts.

"I guess… It sure was nice of him…" Lily mumbled while stuffing the necklace in her robes and spoke again. "So shall we?"

"Shall we?" James asked coyly "Well I do know it's Butterbeer night but if you"

"Don't push it…" Lily said while pushing James arm away, "I meant the play…"

"But it's Butter beer night! Making me work on a stupid play is insane!"

"I don't care even if it's 'Blowing up your neighbors hair day' now let's just go!"

"Hey marvelous idea!" James exclaimed. Lily sent him a glare similar to McGonagall's. It worked wonders.

Deep in the dark corners of the Gryffindor Common Room where there were no noises whatsoever laid two students banging there heads in the table.

"I know!" James exclaimed as he raised his bruised head from the table. "How about a"

'No read haired witch with green eyes who falls in love with a prince warlock with jet black, messy hair, brown eyes and glasses…" Lily interrupted before James could continue but James continued to open his mouth as if to say more when Lily interrupted again.

"And who is unbelievably talented and charming and has a monkey sidekick named Sirius"

'Well you've crushed my terrific idea" James finally said.

"I'm sure Hogwarts is relieved…"

The two were brainstorming ideas for the play.

"Over Here! God your puke stinks!" a voice very similar to Sirius said loudly.

"You didn't sound that annoyed when you handed Gary three cases of Firewhiskey!" a very annoyed Alexa said. "It's supposed to be Butterbeer night!" The voices were coming closer when five dark figures appeared in James and Lily's hidden area.

"Whoa! Finally worked your charms on Lily, eh mate?' a very surprised Sirius punched James shoulder, a little stronger than playful. "I owe you five galleons Peter so stop nudging my elbow"

"Ow! Sirius as much as I would want us to make out were doing something incredibly boring" James said angrily still rubbing his poor shoulder.

"Oh… Then were off!' Sirius hurriedly dashed to go out but two pairs of strong arms prevented him.

"You are not going anywhere!" Alexa said sternly.

"We have been carrying this tub of lard ( Remus indicated Gary who was currently on the floor drooling on his shoe) for too long and now that we have found the ideal place, we are staying!" Remus said sharply.

"Is it okay if I stay out there where someone is actually having fun?" Sirius said trying to get out of the tight grasps.

"No!" Alexa and Remus chorused.

"You two should try dating… You get along well" Sirius grumbled and sat down next to James.

"Trixie! I don't know how to make spaghetti!" Gary suddenly shouted.

"O-kay! I didn't need to hear that…" James muttered.

As soon as all of them were settled and Gary was snoring on the floor. ("Holy Guacamole! The marmalade! The marmalade!") Sirius spoke again.

"So what incredibly boring punishment have you set up for me?'

"McGonagall wants us to head a play for Halloween" Lily replied.

"That's easy!" Peter exclaimed.

"Sure is Peter if you get past the fact that we have to make the entire play…" James said cynically.

"You mean you have to make the entire play?" Remus asked surprised.

"Yep! That pretty much covers it!" James said.

"So any ideas?" Alexa asked.

"Well there's that-" James gulped nervously as Lily sent a death glare his way."erm- really stupid idea of mine… useless actually…"

"I have a feeling I know what it is… So Lily any ideas?' Remus said.

"Well Dumbledore gave me this but it hasn't helped one bit…" Lily showed them the necklace.

'Cool! There's an inscription!" Alexa observed.

"Really?" Lily observed the shining necklace in her hand and there indeed was an inscription on the gold lining.

"Love lasts forever and while forever still exists all I'll ever love is you…" Lily read.

"What? I didn't hear it! Let me see…" James tried to snatch it from Lily's hand but Lily moved it away so James decided to read it from her hand. "Love lasts forever and while forever still exists all I'll ever love is you…" then out of nowhere green light erupted and sucked the students inside it. Lily and James' hand gripped each other for a while but then it separated Lily held the necklace close to her heart and all spinning stopped and Lily felt herself for to the hard ground.

God hope you like it… pls.review
