Chapter One Lily Evans point of view (When it's in some ones point of view you hear their thoughts)

I Silently crept down the stairs of the girls' dormitories. Soft whispers filled the silent of the night. I looked at my watch, it was 3:12am. As I neared the end of the staircase, I saw four dark figures in the far corner of the room. I crept slowly towards them.

"Lily is that you?" Sirius asked emerging from the darkness. Sirius Black was tall, about 6'0. He had black hair that fell into his blue eyes perfectly. He was a beater on the Gryfindor quiditch team, which made him strong; He was also one of the marauders, which made him very popular. The marauders were a group of four boys, which consisted of Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew . They were the troublemakers of Hogwarts.

"What are you doing up?" James asked standing next to Sirius. James was the same height as Sirius with Hazel eyes. His messy black hair never seemed to lie flat, it always spiked into different directions. He was also captain and seeker on the Gryfindor quiditch team, which made him strong and built

"Couldn't sleep," I simply answered.

"Why not" Remus asked. Remus was about an inch shorter than James. He had sandy blonde hair that usually spiked into the air. His beautiful blue eyes matched his sweet personality perfectly. He was a Prefect, Which meant that even though he was a marauder he had to watch the halls for any other trouble making.

The last of the four was peter. Peter was short and not very strong. He wasn't smart like the others, and wasn't that popular. Actually he didn't fit in with the other three at all, but he was a marauder, which means he was respected.

"I don't know. What are you three doing up?" I asked

"Nothing" Sirius said nervously glancing at James. 'Why is he nervous?' I asked myself

"Oh" I said simply. I walked over and sat in a squishy armchair by the fire. The guys looked at me like I was interrupting something

"Ok then I'm going to go for a walk," I said getting up and leaving quickly praying that no one would follow. But of coarse someone did, and of all people that could've followed me it was the last person I wanted to talk to.

"Evans wait up," James said catching up to me quickly. He took my arm and spun me around so I was facing him. I wasn't at all surprised by his strength.

"What's wrong?" He asked

"Nothing" I answered

"Come on tell me," He said

"Nothing James!" I snapped trying to free from his grip. But it was no use he was too strong

"Lily don't lie to me!" James said tightening his hold on me

"What do you want me to say? Do you want me to tell you that my family hates me? Or that my grades are slipping? Or that no one around here accepts me because I'm not a pureblood? Or that I hate my life and I wish I was never born to begin with? Is that what you want to hear?" I snapped. He immediately let go of me. I didn't know why but honestly I didn't care, I just ran. I didn't know where I was running or even why, but I ran.

My eyes burned and I could feel the tears forming in them. I ran out onto the quiditch pitch and sat in the stands. I felt the tears streaming down my face; I did hate my life nothing ever seemed to go right. Just to add to my misery Sirius was headed up the stands after me.

"Lils what wrong?" He asked panting hard

"Does something all of a sudden have to be wrong with me?" I snapped. Sirius was shocked at me yelling at him.

"I'm sorry," I whispered noticing what I had said.

"You just seem really upset" Sirius said

"I'm fine," I said. I shivered as the cold air went right through my robe. He must have noticed be cause he removed his jacket and wrapped it around my shoulder. Then he wrapped his arm around my waist.

"Thanks" I said quietly

"So what is going on?" he asked

"I don't really know. I'm just really confused and I guess that the fact that my parents hate me is finally getting to me now more than ever" I said

"Lils it's going to be ok" He comforted me

"I don't know," I said

"How about this summer you come stay with me instead of going home" Sirius said. A jolt of joy shot through my body

"Really?" I asked

"Yea" Sirius said

"I'd really like that" I said.

"Great" He said

"But don't you usually stay at James'?" I asked

"well this year we both can" he said. Stay at James? I thought

"I don't know about that" I said

"Come on its has to be better than your house" Sirius said

"True" I said

"And the potter mansion has way to many empty bedrooms, their always looking for guests" Sirius said.

"What about James?" asked

"What about him?" Sirius asked

"I don't think he'll want me staying there" I said

"Yea he will" Sirius said

"Why don't we head back to the common room?" I suggested

"Sure" He said helping me up. If it were my choice I would stay out there all night with him. Sirius was the best friend you could have. He was always there for you. But I could tell that he was cold. We walked back into the now empty common room.

"You should get some sleep," He said

"Yea I guess. Goodnight" I said

"Goodnight" He said. I walked halfway up the stairs before I turned around

"Sirius?" I said

"Yea" He answered

"Thanks" I said

"Love ya," He said smiling

"Love you too," I said. I walked up the stairs, fully forgetting that I still had his jacket.

I lay in bed for about two hours before I decided I should get ready. Everyone else was still asleep. I dropped my feet to the cold floor and a shiver ran up my spine. I got up and quietly walked into the bathroom to take a shower. After I had gotten out of the shower and had gotten dressed I felt a lot more relaxed. Showers seemed to have that effect on me.

I did my hair up into a high tie and walked silently down the stairs. Luckily the guys were there. I slowly walked over to Sirius and handed him his jacket.

"Thanks" I said again

"Anytime" He told me standing up. He pulled me into a hug. When we pulled apart I looked into James' eyes. Which was a mistake, inside I say hurt and pain. I quickly locked my eyes to the floor.

"You ok?" Sirius asked

"Yea I'm fine" I lied. I sat next to him on the couch. I heard footsteps on the stairs. I turned to see Amanda gracefully walking down them.

"Good morning!" She said happily. She was always happy. I hated that! I hated the fact that she could be happy about everything, and that she was always smiling. Amanda was about the same height as me. She had short blonde hair to a little above her shoulders. She had hazel brown eyes and was in good shape.

"Morning" I mumbled

"What's up?" She asked excitedly

"Nothing just chillin" Sirius said

"Cool" She said sitting on the other side of me

"So I heard your staying with me this summer evans" James said

"Only if its ok with you" I said

"It'll be great" James said

"Great" I said

"See" Sirius said to me

"What time is it?" I asked

"7:39am" Remus said I yawned

"You sleep at all this morning?" Sirius asked

"No" I said

"Maybe you should stay here today and sleep" Sirius said

"No I'm already behind" I said yawning

"Ok" He said

"You sleep?" I Asked

"No" He said

"You skipping classes" I asked

"No" he said smiling, I smiled back.

"Well we better go" James said

"Yea" Amanda said
