To Gild a Lily- 7
The first three years at Hogwarts were more a dream for Lily than anything else. She made excellent marks in Potions and Charms, and did very well in all of her other classes. Her relationship with her friends had grown too, especially with Eva who turned out to live just one street over from Lily's house. They were together almost everyday of the summer holidays. Lily had also been introduced to Eva's charming cousin Jasson, who despite looking almost identical to Eva was quite opposite. He was arrogant and unruly and had unfortunately developed a ridiculous obsession with Lily.
Eva had matured as well, though still managed to supply the group with more than enough insanity with her psychotic antics. She received average marks and just enjoyed being at Hogwarts in general. Even though she and Sirius fought like cats and dogs, Lily suspected that she liked him a lot. A whole lot.
Fiona eventually came out of her shell after a few weeks and became almost (almost), as loud as any of them, although she became quite flustered when it came to Remus, obviously having a crush on him. She received above average marks, though not quite as good as Lily.
James had become quite the popular young man, making the quidditch team in his second year to play chaser. With his constant hair rumpling and gorgeous roguish grin, girls practically threw themselves at him, much to the dismay of Lily who had developed a whopping crush on him. And despite his spending almost everyday in detention for a prank of some sort, he got fairly good marks.
To be quite frank, Sirius hadn't gotten any less attractive over the years. Quite the opposite, in fact, he quickly became the most sought after boy at Hogwarts with his perfectly tanned skin, medium length dark hair and perfectly proportioned face. He had an inordinate number of girlfriends and had inhabited almost every known broom closet n the school (and perhaps some unknown ones). In third year, he had made beater on the Gryffindor quidditch team. He shared the detention hall with James quite frequently and they had become quickly known for their daring pranks and dashing good looks.
Remus has become the logical one in the group, getting top marks to rival Lily's although he didn't try half as hard. He and James and Sirius had become known as the Marauders in school and he was renowned for his witty remarks and sarcastic comments. Despite his wryness, Lily found him to be quite sweet and caring of his friends.
In their third year, a small boy had joined their group. His name was Peter Pettigrew and Lily thought he was a bit of a dimwit, to be honest. He was short on brains, even shorter on comebacks, and followed James and Sirius around like a little lapdog and practically worshipped the ground that they walked on.
Now in their fourth year, the six friends will be able to expect some changes coming their way very soon.
