Author's notes: This is my second chapter which is much better than the first. I hope you like it.

Disclaimer: Mostly J.K.'s. The play thing is from Monsters inc. (The idea at least) the rest is pretty much mine. (If there is a 'rest')

Shout out(s): This one goes to my sis who edited for me and to everybody who reviews this chapter!

 Fall had arrived along with an annual trip to Hogsmead. The leaves were falling, the air was crisp, and a dark wizard was coming to destroy the whole entire world because he's evil and he isn't named Bob because it was the 70's. On a happier note…

The Marauder Quartet traveled along the main roads of Hogsmead; Sirius searching for another girl to follow him around with the rest of his female friends; James, searching for Lily; Remus searching through his book about transforming one's features; and poor, poor, Peter searching for a good flavor of Bertie Botts Every Flavored Beans.

 As the group turned the corner to go to The Three Broomsticks and  grab something to drink they were startled at what they found. The door of the place was… closed. That door was neverclosed. Occasionally, you would find the door shut in the winter, but it was only October and nice and sunny at that. Sirius grabbed the door and began to yank at it with all his might but it seemed to push back causing the boy to fly back into a group of giggling girls. He got up, wiped a strand of gorgeous hair out of his face, and returned to his friends.

 "Well, I bet there's some kind of spell-mabob on that door." Sirius said, proud of his discovery.

 "Well aren't you brilliant," Remus muttered.

 Suddenly Lily Evans strolled up to the crowd that had gathered around the amazing boy who can't even open a door! "I heard a commotion and on this trip it's my duty to make sure nobody gets in to trouble, otherwise I'll tell McGonagall to deduct points," she said sternly. Lily strolled past the boys and walked up to the door. "Now, if you wanted to get in you could have just said the password like Dumbledore told us all. You know everything is slowly getting safer and safer after He came along. Goodbye." With that Miss. Evans muttered " Ntereay orfay utterbeerbay , I'may otnay Ehay."

"I didn't know she could speak Italian," Sirius whispered into James's ear.

"I didn't know she could look so bloody gorgeous in a t-shirt and jeans,"  James whispered.

 With that the four walked up to the door and Remus, the only one who could speak pig Latin, said the code and they went inside.

"Amazing! He can speak Italian too!" Sirius shouted.

 James, spotting Lily, left his group to go have an intimate conversation with her, like that would ever happen. He walked towards her little booth in a shadowed corner all by herself. She was staring blankly at her mug of butterbeer as if she was there floating in the yellowy substance.

 "Lonely?" James asked, sitting at the seat across from her. She looked up at him questioningly.

 "I'd rather spend time with a…"

"A what, Lil?"

"Oh, just go away."

"A what Lil?" James persisted.

"A humongous ape! Or a thousand venomous snakes! Or a werewolf!" Lily hissed. "Just anything but you!"

"Well, if you want an ape, Sirius is right over there." James said, laughing to himself.

"Potter, just leave me alone!"

"No."

"Why not?" Lily said, gazing up at her predator. "You have always bugged me, since we were first years, you act like you want me to marry you!" Lily said, her voice rising.

"Would you?"

"Would I what?"

 At this point Lily was quite confused. What was he asking her and why wouldn't he just go away? Her thoughts were interrupted by the boy speaking again.

"Marry me."

"What?!" Lily shouted, jumping up and hitting her head on the lamp above the booth. All eyes were on Miss Evans. "Um, we're rehearsing for the upcoming Hogwarts play. It still could use a little work but, do you like it?" With that, the people got back to what they were doing; except for Sirius, who gave James a quick wink, then got back to talking to Remus about some new transformation spells that could be used as a great prank.

"It was your suggestion Lil," James said. "You are the one who wanted to marry me." James said, hiding a laugh behind a fake, but very sincere, expression.

"I did not, why would I want to marry an oaf like you. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some, eh, shopping to do." Lily said, promptly storming out of The Three Broomsticks, only looking back once to see the goofy smile left on the boy's face.

 God, he's hott. She thought as she walked down the street. But Lily, He is still a self absorbed, over obsessed, insane, stupid, idiot! She reminded herself calmly. Then, all out of the blue, or the gray, it began to pour.

 "Oh crap!" Lily shouted running to a little overhang on the nearest building. "I still have to get my new quill." So Lily set off to get her new quill… in the rain.

 Suddenly, she felt someone breathing on her neck and the rain stopped falling onto her head. The girl turned around to be about two inches away from the sexy James Potter, gazing up into his dripping wet face.

 "Well, when it started raining right after you left, I remembered you didn't have a jacket… so I came to the rescue." He smiled, gazing into the deep emerald eyes that looked up so thankfully at him. Then, there was some sort of magnetic pull as James neared Lily's lips.

WACK!

 "Don't you even think about kissing me you immature brat! How could you even think you could get away with that! You think you can do whatever you want, whenever you want, and have any girl you want! Well, the rules have changed Mr. Potter I'm the one who will get the guy I want, and He's not you!"  She yelled walking away in a storm of rage.

 James, being used to this sort of thing shrugged and pulled, his now quite wet jacket, back around his perfectly fit torso. He watched as the fiery haired love of his life turned into a shop and he headed back to the Three Broomsticks where his three friends awaited him with an open door.

 "So?" Sirius questioned giving his friend a hard shove pushing him down into one of the bar stools. "How did things go with Lils?"

 "What are you, my mum?" James said looking up questioningly. He twiddled his thumbs around in his lap waiting for someone to break the odd silence, but no one did.  His trio of friends stared at him, they didn't even blink.

 "Ahhhh! Why do you do this every time I talk to her? She hates my bloody guts as usual, end of story." James answered glumly.

That was not indeed the end of the story as James put so bluntly, but yes the end of chapter one.
