Lily woke and quickly showered and dressed. She put her books in her bag and scribbled her name on a piece of parchment.

She walked into the Great Hall and found James and the rest of the Marauders already sitting at the Gryffindor table. She put the piece of parchment into the hat sitting on the stool and sat down with Julie and Alice.

A few other girls and boys put their names in.

"Did you put your name in?" Julie asked Lily.

"Yeah." Lily replied. "What about you two?"

"Yeah." Alice replied for the both of them.

"Lily." James called across the table.

"Yes?" she asked.

"Did you put your name in?"

"Yes." Lily said again. "You?"

"Yeah." James said cracking a grin.

Lily smiled back.

The plates were cleared away and Dumbledore stood.

"Professor McGonagall is going to draw the names out of the hat." Dumbledore announced. "She will call the role then the name. If you are picked, please come to the front."

Professor McGonagall went to the hat and stirred the names around with her wand. She pulled out a piece of parchment.

"This is Landen's group." She called. "To play Jessica, Alice Whitney."

Alice smiled and ran to the front.

"For Ashley, Julie Whitney."

Julie smiled and followed her sister.

"For Eric, Remus Lupin."

Remus gaped at the Marauders and followed the girls to the front.

"For Matt, Sirius Black."

Sirius was stunned but smiled and went to the front. McGonagall gaped for a split second then continued on.

"The boy in the beginning is Peter Pettigrew. Preacher Sullivan, Jamie's father, is Matt Calisto."

Everyone whose name was called went to the front and smiled around at the Great Hall. James looked at Lily and she looked at him.

"Now for the lead's." McGonagall called.

Lily and James shrugged at each other, hoping but not really believing.

"Landen will be played by James Potter and Jamie will be played by Lily Evans."

Lily and James looked at each other, smiling, and ran to the front with their friends.

"Congratulations, James." Lily said sincerely.

"You too, Lily." James replied.

They looked at each other once more and faced the Great Hall again.

"Give a hand for these student here. They have applied their name and have got in. Congratulations!" Dumbledore applauded.

"Follow me." Professor McGonagall said.

The students followed her to a room off the Great Hall.

"Now, I expect all of you, especially those in my house, to keep up with your school work and give school and the play the same amount of practice. If, Mr. Calisto, you do not, I personally will pull you out of the play and give someone else your part. Is that clear?" Professor McGonagall announced.

"Yes Professor." The students echoed back to her.

"Good. Now here are your scripts." She said, handing each person their script. "Work hard on this please. The harder you work, you might earn house points."

"Thank you professor." They said.

They left the room and back out to the Great Hall and sat down at their seats.

Lily, James, Julie, Alice, Sirius, Remus and Peter all immediately engaged in conversation about the play and their parts.

So, therefore, Lily and James didn't notice the twinkle of Dumbledore's eye when they sat back down.

As Lily walked to her class with Julie and Alice she thought about her part and knew the movie this was based on. She didn't hear Julie and Alice talking to her. She was lost in thought until James rushed past her to catch up to Sirius. She shook her head.

This should be interesting, she thought.
