Chapter 2 Roommates

"So Harry, does that start to show you your parent's relationship in the beginning?" Remus asked.

"Yeah, I can see why you thought my dad was crazy. I would tell him he was crazy after years of that too!" Harry answered.

"He was. Crazy in love. For a girl who would have NONE of it. Hmm what happened after that. Oh! Lily and my conversion in the Head's compartment! Here give me Lily's journal. Lily's thoughts of your father are changing so I think her perspective is a good one" Remus said and Harry handed Remus the old leather book.

Lily

Lily stormed her way up to the heads compartment she couldn't believe that James had not only tripped her but was stupid enough to sit there and help her without her having any idea what was going on. Wait that wasn't stupid… that was nice. He could have let me fall and left me there, but he didn't he took me to a place to sit down and helped me. Is he different now? No. Lily thought. By the time she made it to the compartment she was angry and confused. Remus just sat there, waiting patiently.

"Good morning Lily." Remus said.

"Good morning Remus. Great to see that you are the Head boy. You are the most responsible guy in our year, even though your friends are a tad wild." Lily said.

"Thanks I think. You really should give them a chance, they are great once you get to know them." Remus told her.

"Yeah, maybe. Well lets not start on Potter. We have other things to disscuss." Lily explained.

"Well first there is prefect meetings, hogsmeade visits, dances and last but not least graduation. Oh and patrols…" Remus said quickly.

"Well give me a second Remus! We will have enough time for that stuff. I wanted to start by asking if you're the one snoring loudly at night. We will be roommates you know."

"No that's not me that is a mix of Peter and Sirius." Remus laughed at his friends sleeping habits. Sirius had a growl like snore and Peter's was just well strange!

"Great! Because the whole dorm can here you guys downstairs."

"Yeah it is really loud except when Sirius has… company." Remus said. "We made a deal about that."

"What kind of deal?" Lily asked.

"A the Marauder's sex code is this tell all Marauders in advance of any possibilities of a date moving to the bedroom and please lock the door. Rendevous must end by midnight so that we can go back into our room. Usually it prevented all Sirius problems."

"That's kinda funny. But I guess it works. Since I won't have a falling staircase you are welcome to come up except when the door is locked I guess, and when you can hear a shower running." Lily said.

"Ok same deal here. Just try to tell each other in advance since we have private head dorms, so dates WILL want to see them." Remus explained.

"Remus, Do you have a girlfriend you want to tell me about?" Lily asked. Remus blushed.

"No." Remus said slowly.

"Ok then. You did turn a nice red color. You are interested in someone aren't you?"

"Yes. But don't tell anyone. I kinda like Mandy" Remus stated.

"AWW! How cute Remus. No I wont tell anyone."

"What about you? Are you interested in anyone?"

"Potter kinda makes the rest of the guys around here afraid of me so I don't have anyone." Lily said.

"Yeah, I remember in 5th year when you went to hogsmeade with Amos Diggory. James went and punched him and told him to leave his Lily alone." Remus retold.

"That's why he never would talk to me after that date." Lily said.

"James only does it because he cares for some reason he really cares about you even though you hate him."

"I just don't understand that about him, you have to admire his persistence though. What he did today was really helpful and I freaked! I might have to go apologize." Lily said.

"Lily apologize to James? THE APOCOLYPSE IS COMING! KILL ME NOW GOD KILL ME NOW!" Remus shouted.

"REMUS shut up your making a scene!"

"But it is the end of the world, I should be able to make a scene or two before we go."

James and Sirius walked into the Head's compartment. They heard Remus's yells and needed to know what Lily was doing to their poor friend. They ran in to see that the two were just sitting there talking. "And why my friend is the end of the world on its way?" James asked.

"Lily has something to say to you."

"REMUS!" Lily hissed.

"What do you need to say Evans?" James asked nervously. It must be something major to make Moony call for the apocalypse.

"I was just telling Remus that I should apologize for yelling since what you did was kind and it had nothing to do with your love with me." Lily stated calmly.

"Yep that's the end of the world right there!" Sirius said and huddled into a corner. "Please take us painlessly!" he said loudly.

"Oh come on boys its not that bug of a deal. Thanks Evans for the apology. Sorry about my imbecile friends…" James said grabbing Sirius's collar and dragging him out of the compartment.

"He… He… He acted ma…ma…mature!" Lily exclaimed.

"Yeah. He got mature over the summer, after his father's death." Remus explained.

"His father died? That's terrible. I fear for my parents lives all the time. Voldermort loves killing muggleborns families. He's going to get worse I feel it. Its just the occasional murder now but its going to get worse, I feel it."

"Yes I know. No one understands how serious this could be. So when do you want to have Prefect meetings?" Remus asked.

"Well last year we had them Tuesday's at 7. I think that we should have them on Monday's at 8. Have it at the beginning of the week so if planning is involved for something the next weekend we have 4 nights to spare." Lily explained. Remus nodded. Just then the train pulled into the station. "Talk to you later Remus!" Lily yelled and head off to her friends.

Kelly

Kelly had enjoyed her ride with Sirius Black. He was quite entertaining with his stories of what happened behind the famous pranks. And he didn't treat her like he treated those bimbos. She actually had a real conversion with them not some rant on how great they are. She was kinda sad that the train had stopped but she rushed to see her best friend Lily.

"LILY!" She screamed and ran down the platform, almost toppling the poor little first years.

"KELLY!" Lily screamed and hugged her friend. She hadn't seen her in two months and had some much to tell her.

"There is so much stuff I want to tell you! First you can't believe the conversion I had with Sirius Black." Kelly told her friend.

"A good conversion with Black? Didn't think it was possible. Well let's get to the feast!" The girls got into a chariot with Mandy and Suzy making the emeralds complete. They headed up to the castle talking excitedly about what the last year at Hogwarts. The Great hall was beautifully decorated as usual and the girls took their spot at the table. Mandy told them that the famous marauders had something planned for the feast so they remained alert. The boys had sat down but had their wands out, a clear sign something was about to go on. The sorting went through uninterputed and then as Dumbledore started his speech the wands disappeared a clear sign that something was happening.

"So student that was the night that I learned NOT to hex a gringly- ROAR!" Dumbledore roared like the Gryffindor lion he continued roaring and started to say things like GRYFFINDORS SHALL RULE! And SLYTHERINS ARE JUST HIISSSTORY! And finally the finale THE MARAUDERS HAVE PROVIDED TONIGHTS ENTERTAINMENT ALL HAIL THEM IN THEIR LAST YEAR. Finally the old wizard stopped roaring and got back to talking. "Black, Potter, Lupin, and Pettigrew you have outsmarted me again. From this day forth all before feast speeches will be short and simple so I don't ever get fooled again. By the way, Professor McGonagall would like to see you in her office after the feast. LET'S EAT!" The crowd erupted in cheers for the marauders and their prank and everyone got right into the food.

And that began another year.
