Disclaimer- it's not mine, it all belongs to J.K Rowling- bow down and
worship!.Too much??? Yeah, I thought so too. Anyway, on with the story.
Chapter 2
Ginny, or Lily as she was now called smoothed down her plain school robes- she was to be sorted that night and so had not been given her traditional house robes. Sighing she wandered over to the bay window of her room, tonight she would be sleeping in her house dormitory.
As she had already been sorted once, came from a long line of Gryffindors and now seemed to be playing out the role of a well-known Gryffindor, she shouldn't have been worried about another sorting, but she was panicking.
Firstly their was Riddle, after her disastrous encounter with him in first year he had charmed her eyes green- what if he had changed more about her? What if she was now part Slytherin?
Shuddering at the thought, she examined the only other option, Gryffindor. She knew with out a doubt that was where she belonged and she apparently was fated to be there with James but still, she was tempted to try and run from her fate.
'Snags in time,' that's what Professor Dumbledore had called it. He had been adamant that Ginny did not reveal the future to him or anyone else. When he had chosen the name Lily Evans for her she had laughed, and informed him that there was already a Lily Evans in Gryffindor.
They had no idea what she was talking about.
Dumbledore had come to the conclusion that she was meant to find her way back in time, she had a role to play in the past. And when she had achieved it, the fates would send her back to her own time.
Glancing at her watch, she nervously headed down towards the entrance hall to await the new first years for the sorting ceremony. Standing side by side with Professor McGonagall, who had warmed to the red head's presence, she nervously fiddled with her robes.
The main hall was exactly the same as Ginny remembered it, apparently something's don't change with age. Standing as patiently as she could she watched the first years get sorted one by one.
Finally the cheering for the last student died down, and the Head master stood to make Lily's introduction. "Welcome back to Hogwarts. This year we have a new student joining us." He paused and smiled kindly over at Lily/Ginny.
"Lily Evans will be joining our fifth year." Professor McGonagall raised the sorting hat so that Lily could sit on the short wooden stool again.
The last thing she saw before the grey felt material covered her eyes was four boys, about her age, half standing, half sitting, craning their necks to see her better from the Gryffindor table. One of which looked exactly like.
'Well, well, well. Aren't you a mystery.' The sorting hats familiar voice filled Lily's head and she smiled.
'Don't you know where to put me?' She answered back in her head, dreading yet excited about the impending sorting. The hat chuckled softly, 'No, no, I know exactly where you belong. It's just that if I didn't know better, I'd have sworn I'd sorted you before.'
Lily bit her lip, 'Oh well.' the sorting hat sighed softly in her mind before shouting out to the hall, "Gryffindor!"
Pulling the tattered hat off her head, Lily glanced over to the Gryffindor table, they were cheering wildly. Fear swept through her, her mind kept telling her to walk away; 'If I go know none of this well ever happen, Riddle wont get me, or James.'
McGonagall stepped forward, misinterpreting the student's fears she said softly. "I know they seem a bit rowdy, but don't worry they're quite harmless. You had better watch out for your fellow classmates though. There are no other girls in year five Gryffindor and there are seven boys, four of which like to call themselves."
The professor paused, as if she couldn't quite bare to say the name, ".the Marauders." She finished with slight distaste.
Smiling encouragingly at the girl she turned and walked away. Leaving Lily no other option but to go and sit with her new classmates.

"Cut that out, Padfoot!" James Potter looked up to see two of his best friends having a miniature food fight across the table, they'd been arguing about a scam Sirius had planned since they got on the Hogwarts express.
"Come on Moony, where's your sense of adventure, it will be just like when we." Sirius Black's speech was cut of by the main halls doors swinging open with a dull thud.
James watched the familiar sight of old McGonagall leading the new first years, half of which looked absolutely petrified, to the front of the hall to be sorted.
Only something was different this year, as the final dregs of the first years entered the hall a girl followed them through, no he corrected himself, she was not just a girl. She was at least a foot taller than the others and had long sleek fire red hair.
"Well she certainly doesn't look eleven." Murmured Padfoot, who was sitting to James's left. Remus and Peter nodded in agreement, whilst James continued watching the girl as she made her way to the front of the hall- there was something about her.
Noticing he was being ignored Sirius decided to give Prongs a swift kick under the table. It gave the desired effect; James stopped starring at the girl but only for a few seconds.
As the headmaster explained that the girl, Lily, would be joining fifth year, the four marauders looked at each other and grinned. Out of their year they had seven boys and no girls in Gryffindor.
The four boys tried their hardest to get a proper look at the possible new house mate but the sorting hat now covered her head.
"Gryffindor!" The table once again burst out into applause, with some scattered cheers from the seven male year five students. Grinning James glanced over at Sirius, who had a smirk planted on his face. He would have to be watched, or Lily would be on the receiving end of some nasty practical jokes.
As she walked up the aisle looking for a seat, James moved up, pushing Remus up as well. He was oblivious to the expression that Sirius wore.
"Hey, Lily over here!"
Ginny/Lily looked up startled it was going to take her a while before she was used to that name. Searching for the source of the voice, her eyes fell on a smiling James Potter.
Despite her strong resolve that she would stay as far away from anything connected to you-know-who and the fight against him, she felt her knees go weak and she walked towards him.
Smiling at the four marauders, she sat down mentally berating herself for being so weak.
"Hi, I'm Lily." She said softly, and felt like slapping herself, of course they knew her name!
James smiled back, "I'm James Potter." He grinned at her for a second before a loud clearing of Sirius's throat caught his attention. "Oh, this is Remus, opposite is Sirius and Peter."
Lily quickly exchanged pleasantries and focused on her meal, the less she had to do with them the better. She couldn't allow anything about their future to slip.
James watched the red head bend over her plate, she seemed so shy and closed. Glancing at Padfoot it was obvious that he though the same about the girl, maybe it was because she had just come to a new school?
Whatever it was he was determined to get to the bottom of it, and make her feel welcome.
