Chap. 2

TY webling-girl 05 you were my first reviewer!

"So guys, what pranks are we gunna pull on the slytherins this year?" James asked. Sirius, Remus, and Peter were staying at his house for a week until school started.

"Hmm," said Sirius deep in thought.

"Maybe we should write them love letters like we did in fourth year." Peter said, excitement showing in his face

"Hahaha…that was funny," said Sirius "Snivellus brought Narcissa flowers and everything." Remus looked at Sirius with disgust

"Oh c'mon Moony you have to agree it was funny," Sirius said to Remus

"Well, yes I suppose so, but we didn't have to embarrass him in front of the whole school," said Remus.

"No, no, no," James said shaking his head "That's old, and besides they would know it was us. We have to think of something new.

"But we've done everything," Peter said in an exasperated tone.

"WHAT?" said Sirius "Peter, we're the marauders remember? We can come up with anything!"

"Yeah!" said James with a determined voice "We can do anything we want to!" Remus just rolled his eyes.

"Right moony?" said Sirius.

"Uh huh," Remus said dryly

"So how'd your summer go Lily?" Casey asked

"Ugh! I hate Petunia!" Lily said

"What did she do this time?" Jade asked in an angry tone

"I just don't understand why she can't accept the fact that I'm a witch! I mean you'd think she would have gotten over it after seven years, but nooo; She has to be a stubborn prat!" said Lily

"I'm sorry Lily," said Casey "Just forget about her. She's probably just jealous anyway."

"You know, you should just use magic on her." Jade said

"Are you kidding me?" Lily looked at Jade like she was crazy "I would get expelled if I did that!"

"No. The first time you just get a warning. Remember how Sirius hexed his brother and he never got expelled?" Jade said

"Well I guess," said Lily "But still! I'm Head Girl. How do you think that would look on my record? 'Head Girl Gone Bad' it would be all over the papers!" By this time Casey and Jade were laughing.

"W-we know," said Casey still laughing

"That's the funny part," said Jade

"So what are we gunna do!" Peter said

"Uhhh," said James "I haven't gotten that far yet." The boys thought in silence for few moments.

"Aha!" said Sirius breaking the silence. "We should give Severous a poisonous potion!" James frowned as if he was pondering something.

"You're crazy! We are not poisoning Severous! You're joking right?" At the look on Sirius's face Remus went on "We would kill him! James please tell Padfoot we are not poisoning Severous." James looked at Remus with a mischievous look in his eyes. "JAMES?" yelled Remus "You aren't actually thinking about poisoning Snape right?"

"Well actually mate, I was just starting think it wasn't such a bad idea," said James with a huge grin on his face.

After Casey and Jade explained how their summers had gone Casey said, "Lily I really do think you should give James a chance this year." Lily stared at Casey, her mouth wide open.

"Well, I mean he's so sweet to you and-and it wouldn't hurt to give him a chance would it?" Casey said.

"Hurt?" demanded Lily "hurt? I would have to be the craziest person on this earth to go out with Potter. He's an arrogant, self-centered,-"

"Good for nothing jerk?" finished Jade "Yes, yes we know."

"Well I don't think he's a good for nothing jerk. He may be a little arrogant at times but-" said Casey

"At times? You mean twenty-four seven? He actually thinks that I'm going to start liking him! He's so full of himself!" said Lily

"You didn't let me finish!" said Casey

"Well no, because no matter what anybody says I'm never going to go out with Potter! And that's-that! I mean he asks me out all the time like- like it means nothing. Like I'm just another part of his daily routine! I just don't understand how he can be such a jerk!" said Lily, now very irritated.

"You don't understand," Casey said.

"Casey, it doesn't matter, if she doesn't want to go out with James then she's not going to," said Jade. Although she did agree with Casey she understood how Lily felt about it and thought that it was Lily's choice to make.

"Understand what?" Lily said to Casey completely ignoring Jade "You see the way he acts towards me!"

"Yes but, that's just his way of trying to get your attention. He doesn't know how to do it any other way. That's why he asks you out all the time and-"

"Casey," said Jade

"I'm sorry but I just think you should give him a chance, that's all," Casey said backing down once she realized how upset Lily had become.

"Well I don't think Potter deserves any chances so he's not about to get any!" Lily said.

"Remus! Remus! Stop! We were just kidding!" James yelled. Remus was now whacking Sirius and James upside their heads.

"We aren't actually going to kill Severous! What kind of people do you think we are?" demanded James as Remus slowly stopped whacking him and Sirius.

"See!" said Remus "I knew I could whack some sense into you nutters!"

"Yeah well, you didn't have to whack so hard," said Sirius rubbing the back of his head. "What are you laughing at!" Sirius said to Peter.

Peter stopped laughing abruptly.

"Uhh…nothing," Peter said

"That's right! You better not be!" said Sirius "Remus could have ruined my o-so-beautiful face."

"Pshh," said James as he started cracking up with laughter.

"C'mon guys," said James as he kicked two first graders out of a compartment "here's an empty compartment." The four boys chuckled as they dropped down in seats, throwing their belongings in all directions. It was September first, the day in which all kids who attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft an Wizardry board a train that take them to the school.

"Everybody settle down and find a compartment," the boys heard Lily Evans say.

"Oh, that reminds me," said James "I have to go to the head compartment. I'll be back later." James, being Head Boy, was entrusted with a number of duties. He put on his Head Boy badge and left the compartment.

"Here, let me help you," James said to Lily

"C'mon stupid kids! Hurry up and sit down in a bloody compartment before I go over there and help you get into one! Trust me…it won't be pretty," James yelled at the top of his lungs. A couple of first and second years that were standing near James dashed into the nearest compartment they could find. The rest of the students moaned and groaned, but quickly stopped their chatting and found a compartment.

"Potter!" Lily scolded "I could write you up for that you know."

"Well I did the job for you, didn't I?" said James. Lily was silent for a moment.

"Yeah well, I didn't ask for your help. I'm Head Girl, I think I can take care of it by myself, thank-you very much! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go to the head compartment," Lily said.

"What a coincidence. So do I, so we can go together." James said playing with Lily. He knew that Lily had no idea that he was Head Boy.

"Potter, only prefects and Head Boy and Girl go to that compartment."

"Exactly!" James said with a smile pointing to his Head Boy badge on his chest.

Lily's eyes went wide in amazement as she read the badge: HEAD BOY – James Potter of Gryffindor.

"What?" said Lily "You cannot be Head Boy."

"Is that such a surprise to you?" said James

"Dumbledore must have gone crazy! No sane person would make YOU head boy! I can't believe this!" Said Lily

"Well, I am. So ya better believe it Evans," James said coolly as he walked off towards the head compartment.

"Hey," Sirius said as James climbed back into the boys compartment.

"How did it go?" asked Remus.

"It was alright. I gave Lily quite a shock when she found out I was Head Boy," James chuckled as Lily's shocked face reappeared in his head. The boys bought a number of sweets. In fact, they bought so many treats that they couldn't even eat them all; and that's saying something. They chatted for hours, sometimes laughing at each others jokes, or remembering comical things they had done in the past.

"Speaking of pranks," said Sirius "We never came up with any pranks to pull. We have to at least come up with one prank to start off the year for now."

"Oh yeah," said James

"I thought we were gunna give Snivellous a love potion….or maybe it was a poisonous potion," said Peter

"Haha, you twit," said Sirius

"Wait! That's just it!" said James.

Just then their compartment door slid open.

"What were you guys talking about?" Lily asked

Oh, nothing," Sirius said. Lily eyed them suspiciously.

"Well, we are about to get there, so James we have to instruct everyone as to where they need to go and everything," said Lily

"Alright, I'll be right out on a second," said James. He quickly put on his robes and hurried after Lily.
