-----Why did i fall for your charm?-----
"Potter" I said dryly as the arrogant jerk waltzed past, girls hanging on either arm like accessories.
"Now Evans, is that really any way to talk to a fellow class mate?"
"I dunno Potter, I was hoping you could answer, seeing as you're so bloody omniscient and know every bloody thing in the whole bloody universe" I said with a roll of the eyes. He looked slightly baffled before firing back with:
"That was really cute and all Evans, but the reason I can't answer is because I couldn't really understand a word of anything you just said" The bunch of girls clinging on to his arms, for dear life, burst into a fit of uncontrollable giggles. I rolled my eyes again, what he said wasn't even remotely quick witted or smart, not even funny in any way.
"Pets of yours?" I asked gesturing towards them. They stopped laughing and glared hard at me.
"Wow Evans, you have a great wit and a great pair of legs" He smirked looking me up and down. "I would let you also be one of the many girls hanging off these toned and muscular arms but sadly there's a 5 year waiting list"
"Thanks for the thought Potter, but I would rather be Dumbledore's personal arse wiper" I said glaring at him. He looked back at me, a slight hint of amusement etched on his physically attractive features. Wait did I say attractive? I mean Detractive (And yes it is a word…just look it up)
"Yes well…good luck with that" He said and shuffled off under the weight of 6 girls.
I rolled my eyes again and boarded the train for my sixth year at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. I blew a kiss to my dad and waved goodbye to my mum, I promised to right to her soon, though of course I would 'forget' until well into my third week at school.
I trudged along the corridor then stopped outside a compartment filled with about five 15 year old girls. O I got that wrong didn't I? Daisy was already 16, lucky bitch. Ok then four 15 year old girls and one 16 year old girl.
These were my best friends of all time.
First there was Hannah, our brainy friend. She was in Ravenclaw but we had stayed loyal friends since we spent our first ride on the Hogwarts express together. She had Raven black hair and large dark eyes.
Then there was Alice, possibly my bestest friend of all time. She had bright blonde hair that fell just bellow her shoulders, an award winning smile, perfect white teeth and bright blue eyes that shone even when she threw a tantrum, one of her favourite past times. Alice was the envy of all our friends; she could get almost any boy she wanted to get her hands on, though she only had eyes for one. Frank Longbottom had been her crush ever since he fished her out from the lake after a very fishy incident indeed, courtesy of none other than the Marauders, scum of Hogwarts.
Next there was Jenny, she was the most down to earth girl I had ever met, she was in Hufflepuff and loved Herbology with a passion, she found it the most interesting thing in the history of, well, interesting things. With her curly brown hair and big brown puppy dog heart melting eyes she got quite a few admirers for herself but she never really had much interest in boys, not after her fiasco with Remus Lupin back in their third year.
Ah Daisy, she was a feisty girl, I supposed that's why we got on so well, we both had awful tempers, hers worse than mine, for the record. She had very short and messy hair which I noticed she had died blue, she was whacky, dying her hair different colours, me and the girls reckoned that she changed her hair colour according to her mood, we still aren't quite sure if that's true yet though. I noticed she had also got herself a nose stud, she must have moaned for hours on end to get her mum to let her do that, thumbs up to her.
And last but not at all the least there was Sandy, she had, as her name suggested, long sandy coloured hair, it was wavy, but she usually just tied it up in a messy ponytail to keep it out of her eyes. She liked to think up new things, invent things, and come up with great plans to get back at the foul mouthed, scumbag, rodents that were the Marauders. I can tell you that we did often give them a run for their money.
I knew this year would be big though, we would finally get them back once and for all, make them sooo scared they'll be begging for mercy, and then for once James Potter may finally stop hassling me to go on a stupid date with him.
"Hi Lils" Alice said jumping up to give me a hug.
"Hi guys" I smiled, trying hard to store my trunk in an over head compartment above Daisy's seat. "Nice hair by the way Dream it suits you, and the new stud"
Like all good friends we had nicknames…some more inventive than others. For instance, mine was Lils. Very unoriginal but I didn't mind…much.
I called Daisy Dream because she never really listened; she was always off in another land. Just like she was now.
"Hey Daisy" Hannah said shaking her shoulders, "Lils is here"
"Oh, huh, hiya Lily" She smiled, looking content with the world for the moment.
"You're back with us then?" I laughed sitting down beside Jenny.
"So Lily what did you do over the summer?" Alice asked.
"You know the usual" I said shrugging, staring out of the window "I stole all of Petunias make up and charmed it to draw all over her face when she slept" I smiled remembering her face when she woke up, and the screaming from her and my mother that followed. She thought something was eating her daughters face.
"Oh Lils you are evil" Sandy said, chuckling lightly to herself.
"I know, I do try" I grinned.
"You're also stupid Lily; you know we aren't supposed to use magic outside of school until we come of age" Hannah said frowning.
"Oh well, it was only a simple spell, it's not like they're going to know anyway" I said shooing the situation off like a stray dog.
"Lily you make me laugh" Jenny said smiling.
"I know, I do try" I said again, smiling a horrendously sweet smile. They looked at me and while Daisy and Hannah just looked as though they wanted to slap that look right off my face, the others burst out into laughter.
"You look like a constipated donkey!" Alice laughed pointing at me. I didn't think I looked that bad. I scowled and folded my arms, pouting my famous Lily Evans pout.
"Oh Lily, don't be sour" Sandy said controlling her laughter.
"Don't be mean then" I said sounding resigned.
"Aw ok, we'll be nice from now on, won't we girls?" Jenny said looking at them.
"No!" They said in unison, soon they were holding onto each other as they shook terribly from their hysterical laughter.
People's sense of humour was really bad in this age.
I was just in the middle of a very good strop when our door slid open and standing in the doorway was the Marauders in all their 50p's worth of glory.
"Hi girls" Sirius said flashing us his trademark smile.
I mentally gagged at his attempt to woo any of us. He was a whore, a man whore. He would take anyone or anything he could get his grubby little hands on. With his infectious smirk and gorgeous hair he expected every female, and some males, to go weak in the knees. Lucky for me and my friends, we were immune to it.
"Hiya Sparky, where's dumb and dumber?" Sandy asked giving him a pointed stare.
"What about dumberest?"
"Oh you take that title" Alice laughed.
"What about Peter?"
"He's dumb"
"And Remus?"
"Remus is a decent guy, I sympathise that he has to hang out with you freaks, he doesn't need to be titled"
"Oh and I do?"
"Pretty much, yeah"
"Oh you girls do play hard to get don't you?" He asked winking at us.
"It depends, we do with pond scum like you" I shot at him, smirking also.
"Oh feisty as always Evans, no wonder Prongs likes you"
"I wish he would like some one else" I mumbled, resting my chin on my hand and my elbow on my knee.
"Speak of the devil" Hannah said. James Potter, prankster prince, and all around inferior dirt pile nudged Sirius out of the way so he could also see into our compartment.
"This isn't a freak show you know" Hannah said glaring slightly at the two 15 yr old boys leaning against the door frame.
"Well at least it wasn't until Potter showed up" Sandy said causing us girls and even Sirius to chuckle.
"I know you want me Rogers, you can't hide it" He said winking at her whilst forming a lopsided grin on his face, "sadly though, my heart already belongs to Evans"
Daisy who had been staring out of the window until now spoke up.
"Potter your mouth has more rubbish in it than a compost heap, although a compost heap sure does smell better"
I laughed so hard at this tears started forming in the corners of my eyes. Of course James didn't actually have bad breath, but it was nice to make him think he did, knowing his inflated ego it would keep him awake at night just thinking about it.
"Padfoot, Prongs" I heard Remus call. Remus was a good guy and he was actually quite a good friend of mine, but that didn't stop him being a piece of Marauder filth. If I didn't hate James Potter and Sirius Black as much as I did I may have actually felt sorry every time me and my friends smushed him. But I couldn't tell him who to be friends with; I mean…who does that?
"Yes Moony?" Sirius asked not taking his eyes off us.
"Peter's gone walk about again" He said chuckling, he slotted himself in between James and Sirius in the compartment door. It was a good thing he was skinny else he would have popped out of there like a cork.
"Hi guys" He said giving us a small smile and wave.
"Hi" we all chorused, apart from Jenny of course.
Jenny and Remus had been the best of friends in our first and second year, Remus was a strong and loyal Marauder but as I've said, there was worse and Remus would spend a lot of time with Jenny as well. Then in our third year they had finally come to their senses and told each other how they really felt. They never took theirs eyes off each other, and when I was with either of them they wouldn't stop talking about the other. They grew so close Remus couldn't take it anymore, I had found out Remus was a werewolf a little into our third year and we spent a lot of our time together discussing things to do with it and such. He just couldn't accept the fact that someone, a pretty someone, could ever love a monster, so he broke things off. Despite the many times I told him beauty was only skin deep, and that Jenny was a nice, loving and unsuperficial (and yes that is also a word…look it up!) person who would want to be with him anyway.
So back to the scene unfolding before my eyes.
"You know Padfoot, I don't think we're wanted much here" James said holding his head high and protruding his chest.
"You know Prongs, I think you might be right" Sirius said, following suit.
"And you know what guys…I think you're right too" I said smiling sweetly again, though a little less horrendously this time.
"Well fine then" Sirius said strutting off down the corridor with James behind him, leaving a grinning Remus standing in the doorway.
"Well then I better go too" He said saluting us and scurrying off after them.
"It's so sad when the good ones go bad" Hannah said shaking her head.
"Hey you rhymed" Alice smiled.
"Oh yeah, I guess I did" said Hannah also smiling, looking quite pleased with herself.
I also shook my head, and rolled my eyes, though I still had a mischievous smile plastered on my face.
-------------------------------------------------------------
When we arrived at Hogwarts me and my friends made our way to an empty carriage, we hopped in and were away before I could click my fingers…although I never actually tried to click my fingers so it doesn't really work. Anyway we were soon at the edge of the lake and boarding the little boats that we so loved to mess around in.
Alice was pretty scared of water after her close encounter with the giant squid back when Peter had a crush on her. The Marauders thought taunting her and picking on her would 'make her like him' they thought wrong.
I held her hand as she stepped into the boat, eyes shut firmly.
"Hi Alice" Frank, her crush, said from the boat next to us. He had blonde hair shoulder length and slightly curly, he had lovely brown eyes as well, he was a Hufflepuff.
Alice' eyes shot open and she smiled totally forgetting that half of her body was already in the little boat moving further and further away from the edge of the dock.
"Hi Frank" She said all seductively. He smiled at her, eyes sparkling; suddenly a look of horror arose on his face. HE called out to her.
"Alice watch out for the-" But he was too late, she lost her balance and was about to hit the waters surface when a pair of arms wrapped tight around her waist.
"Watch it Powder puff else you'll end up seriously wet, and you know I want to be the reason for that" Sirius winked at her. I wasn't sure if he meant it in a rude way but I sure looked at it like that. I grabbed her arm and dragged her away to another boat.
"Oh Lily did you see him? He looks even better this year and I had to look like a fool in front of him" She whined, throwing a tantrum. I looked at her, sometimes I just wanted to snatch those bright blue eyes right from her skull and replace them with my ugly almond shaped green ones. They were so plain, so boring.
I was so consumed in my own thoughts that I hadn't noticed I had stopped dragging Alice along but instead she was now dragging me.
"There are no boats left Lily" She was saying hurriedly, "what are we going to do?"
"What do you mean there are no boats left?" I asked with a look of confusion on my face.
"All the boats are taken; we shouldn't have left the 6th years, now we have no way of getting to the castle"
"There are always enough boats Alice, look I think I see a free one over there" I said pointing to a boat a small way off. We sprinted across the dock towards it and got there just before the Marauders.
"Excuse me what are you doing here?" I asked them, sticking one of my legs in the boat so they couldn't claim it back.
"Well Evans this is our boat"
"Oh well sorry, I didn't see your name on it" I said dragging Alice's frozen figure also into the boat.
"Well then maybe you need your eyes testing, because if you check that bench over there then you'll see our names are actually on it" James smirked stupidly.
He was right, there names were scratched onto the bench.
"So that doesn't prove anything, just that you're a bunch of vandalising miscreants" I sneered parking my arse right on top of Peter's name.
"Well we'll just have to share then won't we?" Sirius said sitting down next to Alice and slowly moving closer and closer. She hung onto my arm and shooed him away like a dog (Oh the irony, with him being a dog and all) Oh yes I do know about them being animagi, how could I not? I am one of the smartest witches in the year, found out last year actually, right at the end of it.
"So Evans, I guess I'll just have to put up with you for an hour or so" James smirked, scooting up close to me.
"Oh great, how happy I must be feeling now" I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes.
"You know Evans, if you keep that up your eyes are gonna fall out of their sockets" I glared at him and looked the other way in a huff.
I don't want to describe the horrible time that I had trying to fend off not only one Marauder but also a Sirius who was suddenly very interested in the contents of Alice's t-shirt. When we arrived at the castle I had found my sanctuary. Scuttling off to find our other friends me and Alice took our seats at the Gryffindor table mortified of what had just happened.
"You mean you spent the whole boat ride with them?" Sandy asked with a sympathising look on her face.
"Yes, and Sirius kept trying to touch me up" Alice cringed smoothing down her skirt.
"Oh yuck don't even say his name" Daisy said gagging. "Especially his first name!"
"It wasn't bad as such" I said, playing with the hem of my robes. They looked at me as though I was crazy. "It was awful" I said as Sandy and Alice chuckled and Daisy continued gagging.
I was beginning to feel hungry by the time the last first year was sorted. And was extremely thankful when Dumbledore started his little speech he did at the beginning of each year.
"Welcome back students for another year at Hogwarts, there are many things I could say right now…but I don't think I will. Now let's eat!" He said and snapped his fingers and with that the tables filled with large amounts of food. Oh how I had missed Hogwarts.
