Lily Molly Marauders

As Lily was lying there in her familiar four poster bed thoughts were slipping in and out of her mind. She had spent most of her night, and morning, thinking about how she'd acted towards James that very evening. She had thought about it, she had obsessed about it and she had obsessed about it some more. Finally she'd fallen asleep with the comforting thought that it was all James' fault.

"Molly! MOO! wake up! We are going to be late!" Lily was running around with rolls in her hair and a terrified expression on her face.

"What? What's the time?" mumbled Molly rising up from her sleeping position and rubbing her eyes.

"It's almost 5:30! We're going to be late!"

"brlbrlslslrbrsl" mumbled Molly falling back into her sleeping position.

Lily ran towards Molly's bed and ripped open the blinds. Behind them Molly was sleeping on her stomach, drooling on her sheet.

"MOO! Moo! Moo! Moo! Moo! Moo!"

"OK! Ok! Ok! Ok! Ok! Ok! I'm getting up!" Once again Molly rose up, and sat herself on the edge of the bed. "How you get to be more annoying each first day of each year, I do not know" said Molly as she stood up and walked towards the bathroom. While Molly was locked inside the bathroom, Lily was pacing back and forth, stressing about what her schedule would be and going through her yearly ritual of insanity when thinking that she was going to fail this year and be forced to become a waiter in the Leaky Cauldron, get married to Tom and have 12 kids.

"Moo! Get out!" Lily was banging as hard as she could on the bathroom door. Molly opened the bathroom door so quickly that Lily accidentally punched Molly in the face, causing her to fall over with blood pouring out of her nose.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry!" Lily bent down to help her up but Molly shook her off.

"Lily, you need to calm down, ok?" Molly pulled herself up and walked over to the sink and grabbed the tissue box, pulled out a tissue, broke it in half and put some in her nostrils and bent her head back to stop the bleeding.

"I'm sorry…I'm"

"Lily…Lily listen to me…breathe" Molly interrupted her while she walked over to her best friend and shook her gently.

"I'm calm…I'm calm" Lily did some of her breathing exercises and when she was perfectly calm she walked over to Molly and examined her nose. Lily had always wanted to be a healer and this was her chance to prove herself.

"It looks like your nose it broken, so I would suggest you go to Madam Pomfrey"

"Ok I will before breakfast, now we don't have school for another few hours so you can go downstairs and get ready and I'll be with you in a few hours ok?" Molly walked towards her bed and fell back on it and in a minute she was snoring again.

Lily did what Molly said and got ready for her first day. Lily really believed in first impressions so every first day she would put on an extra shade of lipstick and some mascara. She went down the stairs to find the Gryffindor common room. She went over to the fireplace and without thinking she sat down on the couch, where, incidentally, James was sleeping. Lily accidentally sat on his foot and without looking at him she rapidly said:

"Oh my god I'm so sorry! Gosh what's wrong with me today I keep hurting people" she said burying her face in her hands.

"That's alright" James said rubbing his left foot.

"Oh it's you" Lily mumbled quietly. "Why are you sleeping here?"

"What? Should it make a difference whether is me or anyone else you hurt?" James said after being hurt by her rude reaction when she knew it had been him she had sat on.

"Why do you always have to make me feel so bad?" snapped Lily.

"You hurt me, and to answer your question, I'm sleeping here because Sirius accidentally, or not, broke my bed and my Reparo spellisn't strong enough so I couldn't fix it, so I had to sleep here" James replied. He was set on making her feel bad for hurting him the way he always hurts her.

Lily sat down quietly on the armchair next to the fireplace. This was her favorite chair and mornings were her favorite time. She loved watching the sunrise which she could barely see from her chair but if she leaned slightly the left she could see the suns rays hitting the lake and the forbidden forest, but this morning was different, because the whole morning had been ruined by the appearance of James Potter.

Why she hated him she didn't know. Whenever she had asked herself that question she had to sit for a while and ponder. She would finally come to the conclusion that he had a quality. "What kind of quality?" they would ask and she would answer "he just…has a quality".

"Lily? Lily wake up! We're going to be late!" Molly whispered softly in Lily's ear.

"WHAT?" Lily woke up in a flash and being so caught in the moment she flung up her hand and hit Molly in the face yet again, giving her huge scratch marks on her cheek. "Oh my god Moo I'm so sorry!"

Molly took a deep breath before she started talking:

"It's time to go to breakfast now Lily"

At that moment Sirius entered the room with an uncontrollable hair-do and bloodshot eyes.

"Woah! Molly, what happened? Went for a walk in the forbidden forest?" Sirius let out a batch of hysterical laughter.

"Lily happened" At this Sirius ran over to Molly and put his arm around her.

"She could be a Marauder" he said trying furiously to make eye contact with James. "I'm telling you, she could be… I've never been so proud"

Molly left to go to the bathroom to wipe of the blood from the scratches that were actually quite deep. While she had been in the bathroom, James, Lily and Peter had left and Sirius was sitting on the couch staring intensively into the flames in the fireplace and Remus was gathering his books.

"They look like they're dancing, it's so…visual"

"Oh my god, I swear I think it is not possible for anyone can make less sense" said Remus as he stuffed his book in his bag and looked at Molly.

"Are you coming to breakfast Molly?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm coming I just have to get my stuff, I'll see you outside" she answered as she walked up the stairs to the girls dormitory. When she came back down Sirius was on his way out the portrait hole.

"You wanna join me?"

"Sure, Remus is waiting for me outside" Molly walked down the final two steps and walked up to Sirius who held the portrait hole open for her. When she was going through in front of him he couldn't help but let his eyes wonder to her 'hind quarters'.

James Lily Peter

"Hello James" it was Daniella Pedron. She was part of the trio of Marauders most loyal fans.

"Hey James, you look good today" this time it was Joan Villings.

"Um…thank you?" answered James who had gotten quite used to these hallway attacks from thee 5th years girls.

What he didn't know was that ahead of him a certain red haired girl was so jealous that her head was blowing up to the size of a hot air balloon, so just incase, Lily decided to swing her hips a little extra to each side incase he was watching.

For the rest of the day the lessons were as usual, except harder, the Professors were as usual, except stricter and the students were as usual, except dumber.

"LUNCH!" exclaimed Sirius. "Oh how I've missed you sweet food"

"You had breakfast like five hours ago!" said Remus rolling his light brown eyes.

"Exactly, a lifetime, and a guys gotta eat!"

"Oh dear…" sighed James.

"Leave him alone, its inspiring" said Molly smiling at Sirius who was stuffing his face with bacon. At this moment Sirius stopped in his tracks of and stared at Molly.

"I'm gonna marry her" he whispered to James just loud enough for Molly to hear. Blushing, she went back to eating her salad.
