A/N: Hey ya'll! I'm trying to make the chapters longer. I know how it feels to finish a chapter in like, 2 seconds and I'm still working on it. Sorry! Keep reading though! It gets better! :-D
Chapter 4: Lily
Kelsey and I took a deep breath. Realizing we were in the "Marauders Era" (as we called it); it flipped our stomachs to think that we would be living, so to speak, with them! We knew a lot about them, although we didn't necessarily know if all our information was true. But it would make the adaptation to Hogwarts (until we figured out how to get back to 2003) much more enjoyable, easier, and exciting. I decided to take a fun risk and ask the others about James Potter or Sirius, Remus or whatever, but before I could speak, we heard hard stomping up the staircase. Kathleen put her hand up to hush us and we watched at the iron handle on the door slam down for it to open. And in stormed a disgruntled girl with thick, dark red hair that hung smoothly to her shoulders. I swallowed in my excitement, and felt Kelsey hit me slightly telling me that she knew too. The girl turned around to reveal bright green eyes, just like Harry's. Her brow was creased in the middle from some sort of agitation. She let out an aggravated groan and slumped the floor beside Kelsey. Kelsey stiffened slightly and glanced at me with an expression of anticipation. I kept my breath even, but dared myself to talk.
"Something wrong, Lily?" I asked as calmly as possible. Lily scoffed and smiled weakly at me as though she'd known me for ages.
"Yeah. The great prat just had to be down in the common room," she moaned, rubbing her temples. I blinked largely. I noticed Kelsey's eyebrows shoot up and a slight smile form, right until she bit her lip to keep it in.
"Well, what do you expect?" Serena said. "Probably setting up some oh- so-clever booby trap for everyone to fall into tomorrow morning," We chuckled because she was probably right. Kelsey and I knew instantly they were talking about James Potter.
"What'd he do this time?" Kate asked. Lily lolled her head to the side momentarily before speaking.
"He asked me how my summer went," she began, rolling her eyes. That's not so incredibly bad. I thought to myself, but Lily wasn't finished.
"Then he said Remus was a prefect too, but no shit. Then of course, he messed up his hair and just said the most annoying pick-up lines and stuff! He just went on and on! I can't remember half of them," she continued in a pained voice. Cecily laughed.
"It's so pathetic! Couldn't he bother some other girl? There are plenty of other girls here who would WANT him to pester them!" she exclaimed. Dora nodded in agreement.
"Ya know?" I started. I was becoming a lot more relaxed. "He wouldn't be so bad, if he deflated his head a bit, decided it was best that snitches are for Quidditch and not for throwing around, and stopped cursing people for fun," The others laughed, including Lily. Kathleen leaned back on her elbows.
"Well, it's a new year, the whole lot of them are older, maybe other the next few months, things will change. In a mature kind of way," she said reasonably. I grinned. So did Kelsey. They know so little.
"Well, that meeting made me tired." Lily said, yawning. "I'm off to bed. See you all tomorrow at breakfast,"
After all the good night giggles and whispers, we changed and climbed into our four-poster beds for the first night at Hogwarts. I hate never slept in a four-poster bed before, let alone at Hogwarts. For a boarding school, the beds were VERY comfortable! After I made sure that Lily, Dora, Serena, Cecily, Kathleen and Kate we asleep, I crept across the room and sat on the corner of Kelsey's bed. She was awake too.
"This is fun," I heard her whisper to me. I nodded, smiling in the dark. I sat there for another minute, not knowing that Kelsey had drifted off to sleep. Tiptoeing back to my own bed, I curled but under the crimson comforter and cream sheets. I smiled to myself, before my eyes closed on my and I slept. **********************
The next morning I woke up to Kelsey shaking me.
"Get up! It's the first day of Hogwarts!" she said giggling. I turned my head toward the other beds. Dora, Serena, and Lily were already dressed and packing their book bags. Cecily and Kathleen were getting dressed and Kate was still waking up, like me. I was up rather quickly, from the excitement of going to Hogwarts classes. All of us had decided to go down to breakfast together as a group. We walked briskly, gossiping as we went. I learned many things about other students that I found rather amusing. Gilderoy Lockhart almost blew up Professor McGonnagal after seeing her in her cat form, thinking it was a huge monster. This make Kelsey laughed hysterically since we had read The Chamber of Secrets. We were talking about so many things and I wasn't looking where I was going. Suddenly,
SMACK!
I had run right into somebody. I tumbled to the floor with a small yelp. Brushing my hair out of my eyes, I noticed a hand extend down in front of me. I grabbed it as it pulled me up.
"Sorry about that, I wasn't looking where I was goin-"I said glancing up at who ever it was. I stopped short. My breath failed. I heard Kelsey make a small gasp and Lily make a soft groan. I had run into Sirius Black. James, Remus, and Peter we there too.
