A/N Sorry for the delay! I know the last chapter was a little on the short side, but I wanted to get it up and I couldn't figure out what to add to the end of that. A new character is going to be introduced into the story in this chapter. (It was Hannah's idea!) He will end up playing a huge roll. While we're on the topic of sneak peaks, I will now write some rhetorical questions that will hint at things to come. Ever wonder why Remus and Sirius never got married? (I promise no slash!) What will happen when James says, "The question isn't if you want to hear the truth, Lily love, the question is can you handle the truth?" And last you see is, "I can never forgive you!" Hannah screamed. So now on to the story! 

"…So then Aden comes in and turns Malfoy into a toad with butterfly wings!" James was deep in the swing of telling his fellow Marauders about a fight with Lucious Malfoy when Jen, Hannah, Andromeda, and Lily happened into the room.

"Oh dear Merlin, is James telling war stories again?" Lily said disgustedly.

Quite oblivious to their entrance, James gaily carried on. "But then Bellatrix decides to be a thorn in our side and throws some weird curse at him. That's what's landed him in the hospital wing for the past week!"

"Potter would you shut up? Everyone has heard the story a million times!" Hannah said irritably.

"Soorry for being concerned about my friends, geez! I am an unfortunate victim of misplaced scorn!" James said dramatically.

"Ahh, the beautiful suffering of overly dramatic gits. Isn't the pain lovely?" Jen sighed, winning herself a disturbed glance from all in the room.

"Ookkaayy…" Andromeda said. "Honestly boys, we already know that you miss Aden. But I implore you, shut your exceedingly large mouths."

Lay off your brother would you?" Sirius shot at her.

"You just want to stay on Aden's good side because you're snogging his twin sister!" Lily said stingingly.

"Want to make something of it?" James said countering Lily.

"No Potter, I don't. I am simply pointing out that Sirius is being a prat."

"Like how? He didn't do anything!"

"Yes, he has!"

"No, he hasn't!"

"Has!"

"Hasn't!"

"Has!"

"Hasn't!"

"HAS!"

"HASN'T!"

"Potter!"

"Evans!"

"Honestly!"

"What?"

"Both of you SHUT UP!" Remus yelled.

"I don't care what you say, Evans, he didn't do anything." James said ignoring Remus.

"You're either dumber then I originally thought, or you're completely deaf, not to know what he did!"

"If I admit I'm wrong, then you have to go on a date with me!" James smiled triumphantly.

"NEVER! I'll have to live with the fact that I'll never hear you admit to being wrong about anything." Lily stormed away, pulling an old looking purple leather notebook from her bag as she did.

Lily closed the door behind her and locked it. She opened the book in her hand and was engulfed in light. Then quite suddenly the book fell to the ground and Lily was gone.

(Maybe I should leave you guys with a cliffie, nah!)

She found herself in a room filled with ethereal clouds, waiting to be made into memories.

"Dear Diary," Lily said and began to describe the events since her last entry, while the scenes took place in front of her. When she was satisfied every thought, feeling, and event was recorded, she was back in her room.

"Before we start, Professor Dumbledor has asked that all students be a short one question examination. This is a self evaluation, so it will be private and won't be graded." McGonagall smiled slightly and gave Sirius a pointed look.

honesty."

(The following is the gang's answers)

James: I try enough. I mean I do have a reputation to

uphold. But mostly I like when my parents are proud of me.

Lily: I want to be prepared for life. I get good grades because I give it my all.

Sirius: I could do better, but I'm just lazy. I'm not as much of a moron as my friends thinks.

Jen: My mother was the top of her class, the least I can do for her is follow in her footsteps. Exellency is in my blood.

Remus: If I'm to make something of myself I need to be

one of the best. How else will I with my condition?

Andromeda: Some of the work confuses me, I'm not as smart as Lily and Jen. But I don't really think that I need to improve.

Hannah: I get my grades yo prove my family wrong. They

love me, but don't think I'm very bright. Jen is their favorite. (Notice the slight animosity in the group?)

Later that day

"Charms, our last class of the day!" Sirius exclaimed.

"Yeah, we're doing that 'partner project' thig today, aren't we?" Lily asked.

"I think so. But don't worry, Flitwick is more empathetic then Kettleburn." Hannah replied.

"But not so nice that he doesn't enjoy at least a little sufferance." Remus said bleakly.

"Don't be such a mood killer Remy!" Jen said in an exagerated impression of one of the Marauder Fangirls. Hannah laughed.

"Ohmygod! Girls! Look, here comes James Potter! EEEEE!" Hannah squealed in mock delight as James walked up to the group.

"Alright enough! We get the point!" James growled.

"Ah, but you see Potter, there was no point. They were merely trying to annoy the –"

"Perfectly sexy!" Andromeda said teasingly.

"Perfectly wonderful!" Jen put in.

"Perfectly perfect!" Hannah added.

" -Perfectly detestable in every way Marauders." Lily finished glaring at her friends, refusing to smile.

Just then a handsome young man with messy dirty blonde hair and golden eyes with a feint violet ring around the pupils, ran up behind the group.

"Hey! I'm back!"

A/N woooh, welcome to the world of hot boys and cliffhangers! Hoped you liked the chapter, I'll have you Know I'm writing this with what might be a broken foot, so feel loved! Haha, lol. I'm serious about the foot. Any questions, opinions, does anything need tweaking?
