Ok so thanks a ton for reviewing guys! I don't exactly have anything else to say so on with the story!

Chapter Two: Untrustworthy

As everyone got off the train and started walking toward the carriages Lily, Alexa, Kayla and the Marauders bumped into each other amid the huge crowd rushing to get a carriage.

"Why look! It is the beautiful Kayla...Something LaFave!" announced Sirius dramatically. Kayla blushed but quickly covered it up, playing along.

"Ah it is! And its Kayla Madison LaFave!" corrected Kayla.

"And what a striking name that is!" answered Sirius, bowing.

"Ok..." said James and Remus, rolling their eyes. They continued to walk when they got to their carriages.

"Come on Lily! We have to get in this carriage!" called Kayla, looking thoroughly excited as Sirius Black just entered.

"What? We do?" asked Lily, completely horrified of the idea.

"Yeah...oh..." said James. "I'll behave."

"Oh! James I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it that way!" said Lily full of regret.

"Hey you called me James!" smiled James.

"Yeah. I guess I did." laughed Lily as they both entered the carriage.

"Look, I know that we are not the best of friends. But, we need to at least be nice to each other since we are going to be working together all year." James stated.

"Yes, I definately agree." That must have been the first time Lily and James have ever agreed on anything besides hating each other.

"Ok...umm...acquaintances for now?" Lily laughed and nodded her head. They both shook hands in agreement. However they lingered that way for a good set of seconds. Then Lily broke the shake and blushed crimson, hoping that he wouldn't notice.

'This cannot be happening! How come I'm not mean to Jam- I mean, Potter. I don't like him. I don't like him. I DON'T like him! ...or do I?'

All the second through seventh years came pouring in and took seats at their correct house tables.

"I'm so hungry I could eat a hippogriff!" howled Sirius.

"Hey! That's not nice to say! You never know, you might just get posession of a hippogriff later in your life." held Alexa.

"Yeah, that will be the day." said Sirius, unbelieveably.

"It's true Padfoot. You never know." Remus supported.

"Merlin! All I did was say a simple expression and suddenly you guys bombard me with saying that I'm going to get a hippogriff!" yelled Sirius, throwing his hands up in the air out of frustration. Remus and Alexa laughed at this. When everyone sat down, all the first years entered. Some with terrified looks, some with confident looks, some with disappointed looks, and some with I- really-wish-I-wasn't-here-right-now-and-that-I-was-at-Durmstrang-or-some-other-evil-school looks. Professor McGonagall took out her very long list of students and started calling names off to get sorted. The Marauders instantly got bored.

About halfway through McGonagall called "Lockhart, Gilderoy." Immediately a blonde boy bounced (almost literally) up to the sorting hat on the old wooden stool.

"HUFFLEPUFF!" The hat screamed out in a matter of seconds. The blonde boy walked down towards his house table and the sorting continued. Finally, all the first years were called and everyone was on the brink of attacking the Head Master if he didn't hurry up and get his stupid speech over with.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our feast...yes, I said before Mr. Black. Some things must be said." started Professor Dumbledore, eyeing the Marauders. "As you might have heard, a new evil is rising rapidly into power, Lord Voldemort." Some people shuddered, some had no expression, and some were completely clueless as to who he was. "You are all safe as long as you are within Hogwarts boundaries. Rules now. No going into the Forbidden Forest," Dumbledore forced sending a look to the Marauders who were shrugging at him and mouthing 'what?' "Second, try and be nice to your fellow houses and students." The Slytherins snorted at that somment and same with some of the other houses looking directly as the Slytherins. "That is all! Let the feast begin!" and with those last words food magically blossomed onto every shining gold plate and platter.

"FOOD!" yelled Sirius, digging into his chicken wing and taking a swig of pumpkin juice.

"That is so disgusting!" exclaimed Lily while watching Sirius dig into his second course, food dribbling down his chin.

"Think about us! We have to watch him stuff his face every meal!" retorted James who was also eating large sums, but not being near as messy.

"You shouldn't be the one to talk James!" said Alexa, joining in.

"Neither should you! You're eating way too fast!" snapped James.

"It's not my fault! I'm starving over here!" cried Alexa.

"Oh that's not all she does! She stares at the veletision wrong!" added Kayla.

"It's television..." Lily corrected.

"Tomatoes, tomotoes. Same thing!" answered Kayla.

"CAN YOU STOP REVEALING SOME OF MY HABITS!" snapped Alexa. Everyone went quiet for a few seconds before the continued their chatting. Professor McGonagall came up to Lily and James and handed them each a piece of parchment. "You two will give the prefects their passwords and tomorrow you start patrolling through the school from 9 to 11 o' clock."

"What's the password?" asked Sirius, after McGonagall had retreated back to the head table.

"Lunch...lunch! Who thinks of these passwords!" laughed Lily with complete disbelief.

"Did you say its lunch! Merlin! This is great! My favorite meal of the day!" grinned Sirius. The seven of them were laughing and talking as they got to the fat lady until someone called Lily's name. Lily looked behind her and saw Matt running toward her. She ran back toward them and they both hugged and kissed quickly on the lips. Matt was a very tall guy with short brown hair that's almost bleached at the top with bright blue eyes and a nice tan probably from practicing Quidditch over the summer. He was the best chaser in the school, although Kayla was a good rival for him.

"Lily it's so great to see you! I thought of you all summer!" grinned Matt. James frowned, having a feel that it wasn't as genuine as it should be. "I don't trust him." said James, thinking.

"Yeah, don't worry. We don't either." agreed Kayla.

"Don't worry. That relationship will end. I mean, she wasn't as ecstatic to see him as he was to see her." Alexa said.

"That is true. I did notice that as well." confessed Remus.

"Awww! You guys agree on everything!" exclaimed Sirius in a mock girly voice. Remus and Alexa both blushed.

"Well, all we can do is hope for a nice break-up, cause Lily can get quite upset at times." sighed Kayla.

"Don't worry! We shall cheer when the time comes!" exclaimed Sirius putting his arm around Kayla who tried to hide the big grin she wanted to show. After talking about how much of a jerk Matt is, they all went up to their respective dormitories.

"Ugh! I'm so tired! yawned Alexa as she flicked her wand and a new set of pajamas covered her body. "Anyways, so? How was Matt?"

"He's great! Actually, he got trained by a very famous chaser over the summer. That's why he's got that great tan this year!" responded Lily, dreamily.

"Oh please Lily. I have a tan all year round, it's not that great. It'll wear off in a few weeks." argued Alexa.

"Yeah, but he is an Italian too!" exclaimed Lily.

"No way! He is not! I know an Italian when I see one! He doesn't even know that marinara is the same as tomato sauce! Nor does he know the difference between pastas! He is no Italian Lily." retorted Kayla.

"Well no one is obsesses with their heritage like that so he could be!" yelled Lily.

"Hey! I'm proud of who I am! True Italians like food and know it. He doesn't know anything except Quidditch." Kayla responded.

"That's not true. He does very well in our classes." Lily shot back. Kayla just shrugged and climbed into bed, falling asleep.

"Good Merlin! I don't know anyone who is obsessed with being Italian other than her!" said Lily with frustration.

"Lily...don't get mad at her. She just wants what's best for you. She doesn't think that Matt is good enough." Alexa defended.

"Oh! And you think James is!" Lily asked, appalled.

"Yeah! Come on Lily. I don't know anyone who would wait for someone for years without end other than James! He cares about you so much! He would do just about anything for you." Alexa informed, trying to convince her best friend.

"Whatever. I'm gonna go to the Head Dorm. G'night." Lily murmured as she headed out of the dorm room, down the flight of stairs and out the portrait hole.

.X.X.X.X.X.

"I'm afraid that Matt is going to hurt Lily." confessed James.

"We know Prongs but we can't just tell her to stop dating him." said Remus.

"But I think that Lily is beginning to soften up to you." said Sirius.

"That's because we have to work together. She can't hate me anymore."

"Whatever. You think what you want Jamesie!" finished Sirius.

"Are you going to ask Kayla out?" asked Remus to Sirius.

"No! I can't just ask her out! I need to wait...if James can wait for years then I can wait for a few weeks!" James grinned.

"Ok, well I should be heading off. Good night Marauders!" exclaimed James as he started to head out of their dormitory.

"Night." Everyone else replied in unison.

James descended down the flight of stairs and out the portrait hole. He started walking toward the Head Dormitories when he saw a flicker of red ahead of him.

"Evans!" James called out. "Wait up!"

Lily slowed down as James came jogging up to her. There was an awkward silence of quite a long time until James finally spoke up.

"So, how's Matt doing?" James asked in a I'm-trying-to-be-polite-but-not-really-meaning-it tone.

"Oh, he's fine." Lily sighed dreamily.

"You really like him don't you?" James asked, disappointed that he already knew the answer.

"Yeah, I guess I do." Lily replied kind of uncomfortably.

There was another long awkward silence, but this time Lily spoke up.

"So what about you?" she asked.

"I don't know. What about me?" he asked, obviously not getting what she was trying to say.

"Have you had any summer flings?" she asked, knowing that he probably had at least ten.

"Surprisingly, no." he answered truthfully. 'Wow, maybe Potter is actually changing.' Lily thought silently in her mind.

The two of them kept walking on quietly as they reached the portrait of a small houself.

"Pixies." Lily muttered and the portrait swung open.

The Head Common Room was similiar to the Gryffindor Common Room, but was slightly smaller. There were two doors on either side. One bore the name Lily across it in neat, cursive writing. The other, James, in a large bold print, very masculine.

James and Lily each quietly slipped into their rooms without much as a "good night" before hitting their beds and drifting off to sleep.

Ok, now that I got the whole beginning part out of the way this should be fun! Don't worry, it will definately become more and more exciting! Just keep reading and reviewing! Thanks!
