I promised my friend I'd write this and she's gotten quite annoying lately so I'm doing it I'm also pressuring everybody to read her fic she goes under Truegryffndor7 it's really a great story. It's the only one there so read that! True Love For Padfoot. Okay ready here we go!
The train ride to Hogwarts was actually pleasant. It amazed Lily that she could get on so well with two boys who made her life so miserable in the beginning. The seven housemates spoke of Summer, the oncoming school year and each other. "So wait, your sister and her fiancée hate you?" Sirius asked Lily. Maddie answered for her. "Well it's not Lily's fault Petunia's a bitch." Kelleah continued. "You know what she did to us when we met her she locked un in a closet, it's just a good thing that I didn't resort to using my wand and that Mrs. Evans found us so fast or that bitch would have been so dead." Kelleah smiled at the memory. "Oh I would have liked to see you kill her Kelleah." Sirius smiled in a condescending way. "You know who I'd like to kill next?" Kelleah asked him. "Who?" sirius asked obviously oblivious. "You, you moronic toerag." Kelleah said in a threatening voice. "Kelleah don't be so mean only Lily can call someone a toerag actually she can only call James a toerag." Maddie said in a sweet yet sort of sorry voice.
"That's true, Prongs is the only one who ever gets called a toerag." Remus added. Maddie laughed and he then looked sheepish with a blush crossing his face. "Aww, Moony's blushing." James said nudging him with his elbow. "James don't make fun, Remus it's alright, Maddie has that affect on people." She smiled him while Sirius yelled out. "Wait did you just call Prongs here by his real name? Not Potter or Toerag or Git or Prat or-"Sirius we get it." Kelleah cut him off. "Yeah I guess I did. Well it's your lucky day James." Lily told him smiling.
Getting to the castle was always a fun thing to do in Lily's opinion. Seeing the beautiful, ancient, historical castle that so many other have walked through always made Lily feel quite happy that she joined them every year. As she stared she soon forgot that she had to get a carriage to take her to that wonderful building. "Come on Evans we have to go." James said grabbing her hand and dragging her into the last carriage that Sirius, Kelleah, Remus, Maddie and Peter already occupied. "Sorry guys, I kind of got dazed over there." She told the other as she and James got onto the thestral ridden carriage. Lily the only one she figured could see the thestral's was quietly reminded of her grandmothers death the last year. Lily was in the room holding her hand as she died, a quiet, beautiful wonderful 87 year old women who lived a brilliant life in her opinion.
"Lily, earth to Lily, hello anyone there?" Kelleah said waving her hands in front of Lily's face. "Lily are you in there?" Lily shook herself out of her thoughts. "Of course I'm here, hey Potter?" She said. "Yeah?" He asked her. "You can let go of my hand now." He blushed as he realized he was still holding her hand even after being in the carriages for at least five minutes.
The sorting took place with little to no distractions. Okay there was a little mishap with Peeves and a cup of pumpkin juice but nothing out of the ordinary. "What do you think of the new firsties, quite small if I do say so myself." As Nymphadora Tonks was sorted into Gryffindor. (A/N. I know, I know she's probably still a baby at this time but she's my favorite character therefore I can put her in I am the author!) Sirius waved at his second cousin that he knew only because he loved her mother his first cousin, who had been the only Black for a very long time to marry a muggle by the surname of Tonks.
"Yes they are quite small have a bit of shifty look about them if I do say so myself." Sirius said looking down at the new first years. "That's not a shifty look that's a scared look." Lily said. "Hi, Welcome to Gryffindor. I'm Lily Evans this year's head girl. If you need any help feel free to ask me okay?" She said to two timid looking first year girls. "Yeah, I'm James Potter, I'm this years head boy if you really need to ask me a question go ahead." He winked at the two girls and sat back down to a conversation with his fellow Marauders about this years Quidditch cup. One first year giggled and sat down beside the other and began to talk in whispered conversation with glances at James the whole time.
"I don't see how he can get every single girls attention. It just doesn't make sense to me, no matter what he can get any girl. What do they all see in him?" Lily asked her two friends that night in their dormitory. The other girl Josie, was lets just say not the nicest to the Lily, Maddie and Kelleah. "Are you talking about James Potter, Lily?" Josie said coming up to them? "Maybe what's it to you?" Lily asked in a rude voice. She really disliked this girl. "Oh nothing except I can answer your question. What do they all see in him. He is so hott and so smart but did I mention how hot he is? 'Cause he is boiling and this year there will be no more of this chasing after Evans that boy is going to be mine." Josie told her.
Glaring at Josie, Lily responded with "I might not want him and he might stop chasing me but there is no way on this planet that he'd want a girl like you." Josie smiled. "Oh we'll see about that. Goodnight Lily, pleasant dreams." She said in a sickly sweet voice as she crawled into her bed.
"Ugh what a bitch." Kelleah said a couple minutes later as she and Maddie sat on Lily's bed with the curtains down and a silencing charm around the bed. "Like she could take your man Lily don't worry he's all yours." Lily laughed. "Kelleah I don't want him. He's not my type, you know that already. I just don't want him well I don't want her to date him she's a royal bitch he even deserves someone better then her." Maddie and Kelleah exchanged glances. "What?" Lily asked them. "Well Lily, if you don't want to go out with him well then he doesn't well he can date her. You might not think that she's a nice person. And don't take this the wrong way she's a very mean person. But well she can be awfully nice to boys if you get what I'm saying." Maddie told her in a quiet voice. "So James isn't going to date her just because she's a whore. I think he liked refined girls, smart girls, nice girls-" Kelleah finished her sentance for her. "Girls like Lily Evans?"
"No, just not girls who treat guys badly. He doesn't want me he only thinks he does, you know it and I know it. I'm just a game to him he doesn't really want me, he wants a girl who's nice to him. I have never been nice to him before nor have I ever bowed down to him. Why don't you two go to sleep, we have class tomorrow." She told them opening up her curtains and closing the lights. Maddie and Kelleah gave each other one last look before they too fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning at breakfast Lily found herself staring at James. She noticed things about him she never saw before, like how gray his eyes were and how supremely messy his hair was. He also seemed to not be messing it up as much as he did the year before. "See something you like Evans?" Sirius whispered into Lily's ear. She screamed at the top of her lungs as everyone stared at her. "Anything wrong Miss. Evans?" Professor McGonagall asked as she went about handing out the class lists. "No-nothing Professor."
As Professor McGonagall handed James his list he turned around and said "My dear Minerva still no word on my proposal of last year, you know I'm not going to wait around forever. But then again it is you maybe I'll wait around for a smidgen longer." He winked at her. "Yes, yes Mr. Potter, here is your list now go to class I do hope your not late for mine you know how very angry I'll be. Off you go." He bowed deeply and without further ado was off to first class Transfiguration. "That boy." Professor McGonagall whispered. "Well Miss Evans here is your list I'll be seeing you very soon well off you go with your friends." She said to all three of the girls as they walked to Newt Transfiguration.
"Did you hear what James Potter said to McGonagall?" "Oh my god isn't that James Potter so funny?" "Not to mention insanely gourgeous." "All three of those boys wonderful looking aren't they. I wonder why they hang around with that Peter Pettigrew." "Yeah he's more like their mascot." All through the hallway people were gossipping about the Marauders and it was driving Lily crazy.
"Why do people care so much about what they do?" Lily asked her friends. "Easy their good looking, funny, smart and insanely interesting that's why." Kelleah told her. "At least Maddie here thinks one of them is good looking." She said in a mock whispher. Maddie blushed bright red and buried her nose in her transfiguration textbook. As the Marauders walked in the whole class grew silent staring at them. When Lily was being objective she could say yes they were nice to look at, when she was being realistic like she was right now she knew, they were nothing more then annoying, petty, egotistical boys (with the expulsion of Remus of course) and she couldn't understand why people cared so much for them.
"Hi Lily." James said taking the desk behind hers and Maddie. "Um, Hi James." She could feel herself start to blush.
This was going to be one hell of a year she could tell already.
