I'd like to thank all 13 reviewer for chapter 1:
Vatagurl1989:Yes,Dumbledore was headmaster then. From what I know he became headmaster a few years before the Marauders came to Hogwarts. If Dumbedore wasn't headmaster I doubt Remus would be at Hogwarts because of his. . .'furry problem',lol. I read your story,'Karma'. I don't usually read crossover or anything other than Harry Potter,but your story was very good,with lots of twists to it. Tell me if you ever want me to R&R any other stories! Thanks for reviewing!

Chapter 2- 8 Baskets of Chocolate and 'Get Well Soon' Cards
"So I'm an only child?"
"Yep. A rich one at that." Sirius said as he,Remus,and Peter sat around James' bed the next day.
James had been given some potions for his headache last night. He felt well enough to leave,but it seemed as though Madame Pomfrey had him on lock down.
"And spoiled." Peter added.
"And a bit conceited." Remus added.
"We can't forget self-centered can we?" Sirius asked.
"Oh,and prickish!" Peter added.
James glared at them,"Is this Point Out James' Fault's Day? I don't even know the guy!"
"You are the guy!" Remus pointed out.
"So!" James protested lamely.
"Write 'Likes to argue' too." Sirius said poking Peter,who had a notepad out and was taking notes of all of James' faults.
"Your taking notes!" James asked.
Sirius shrugged,"Yep. Your right it's Point Out James' Fault's Day. Celebrated every November 31st."
Remus rolled his eyes and grabbed the notepad from Peter's hands,"Hey!" He yelled.
"Don't listen to them,James. Their moronic idiots all the time. You'll get used to it. You did before. . .actually you were a moronic idiot with them most of the time." Remus added after a small pause.
James ignored the last part of Remus' comment and bit into a chocolate frog.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Er,James?" Peter started.
It was just after lunch and James was learning how to play a game of explode and snap with Peter,while Sirius and Remus played their own game of explode and snap.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"Your left eyebrow's smoking." Peter pointed out. Sirius and Remus looked over at James in amusement.
It was true. James' left was smoking. It must have caught a spark from the game.
"What!" James yelled,scrambling around the bed,until he fell off the edge,"Oof. . .ow! It's still smoking! Ah,HOT!" James said grabbing a glass of water and pouring it on top of his head.
"Is it out?" James asked feeling around at his eyebrow.
Sirius snorted and tried to hid his laughter,"Uh,yeah,James the fire's gone. . .along with half your eyebrow."
James paled and his hand froze.
"Is that the new style?" A voice asked.
The Marauders turned to see Lily Evans standing by James' bed looking at James on the floor with half of his eyebrow gone.
"Er,hee hee." James quickly stood up and leaned against his bed awkwardly.
Everyone else raised their eyebrows at him.
Remus spoke finally,"Hi,Lily. What's up?"
Lily's lips pursed,"I've become the messenger girl for Emma apparently. She wanted me to deliever this to you,"She said handing James a piece of paper."It's also for you Black. Emma would have come,but she had detention with Professor Flitwick. . .Why do it smell like smoke? You four haven't been experimenting with potion,then blowing them,have you?" Lily asked wearily.
"Nah,James just caught his eyebrow on fire while he was playing explode and snap with Petey Boy." Sirius explain,poking James' eyebrow with his wand.
James pushed the wand away,irritated,"You know the eyebrow is still sore. It's burned."
"You should go get Madame Pomfrey to fix it up for you." Lily advised looking closely at his eyebrow.
"Yeah,sure." James replied slowly,looking at Lily.
"Yes,well,I'm off. Pettigrew don't forget the group study meeting tomorrow in the library. 2:30pm. Bye." Lily said,spinning around and walking quickly out of the hospital wing.
"What's with her?" James asked as he watched Lily walk off.
Remus chuckled,"You two have never been on good terms with each other."
"Than why was I watching her at the quidditch game? Why was I distracted by her?" James asked.
"I said you were glaring at her,Mate. Evans just does that to you. She gets you all wound up and distracted from what your doing." Sirius replied.
"She's strange." James said.
"Yeah,well,all girls are,Jamesie boy." Sirius said patting James' back.
"What's on the paper?" Peter asked,looking curiously at the paper in James' hands.
James opened it and read it aloud,"Potter,you and Black meet tomorrow me at the quidditch pitch,9:30am sharp. Not whenever you two drag yourselves out of bed,but at 9:30am sharp! Do as told or face the consquences!
Sincerely,
Emma"
"Well,she sure is friendly,don't you think? Especially the part where she says 'Do as told or face the consquences!' " Sirius said cheerfully,looking over the letter he grabbed from James. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
James' dream/flashback/memory/whatever else you want to call it:
Potter did it,Professor!" A voice said.
James looked towards the voice. It seemed to be Lily Evans,Professor Mcgongall,and. . .there he was!
Dream James scowled at Dream Lily. Dream Lily scowled back at Dream James.
"Is this true,Potter?" Dream Mcgongall asked,looking at Dream James tiredly.
"No,Evans is lying!" Dream James yelled.
"I saw you transfigure Snape into a Snake!" Dream Lily argued back.
"He's better that way,don't you think?" Dream James smirked. Along with the real James. That was a pretty witty comment if he didn' say say so himself.
"Professor!" Dream Lily whined to Dream Mcgongall.
"Professor!" Dream James mimicked Lily.
Dream Lily huffed.
Dream James huffed.
Dream Lily stomped her foot and pull out her wand.
Dream James did the same.
"Children! Stop this at once!" Dream Mcgongall said trying to grab at Dream James and Dream Lily's wands.
"James Potter you are the stupidest,most horrid boy alive!" Dream Lily hissed.
"James Potter you are the st. . .hey!" Dream James scowled as he realized what he was about to say.
Dream Lily laughed,"Wake up,James."
"What?" Dream James asked. Real James also asked this.
"Come on up!" Dream Lily called.
Dream/flashback/memory/whatever you want to call it ends
"Mmmm,Lily,you didn't trick me. I'm not the stupidest. . .zzzzzzzzzzz. . .mffffummffff. . .mmdlLilyduuufff." James continued mumbling in his sleep.
"James wake UP!" Sirius called,pinching James' arm.
James shot up and looked around groggily,"I didn't eat the alligator jelly! I swe. . .oh,hey,guys." James said embarressed.
The Marauders stared at him.
"Dreaming about Evans,are you? Tsk,tsk,tsk. Not good,James. " Sirius said amused.
"I didn't dream about Lily. . .actually I forgot what I was dream about." James mumbled.
"Obviously about Lily not tricking you and not eating alligator jelly." Remus said.
"So,what are you guys doing here?" James asked,changing the subject by looking at a nearby clock,which read 1:45am.
"We're saving you,that's what." Sirius said.
"Saving me from what? And where's Peter?" James asked.
"Ah,the little git wouldn't get out of bed to go with us so he's still asleep." Sirius explained.
"I wish I could still be asleep." Remus muttered.
Sirius shot Remus a look,then turned back to James,"We're saving you from Pomfrey of course. Now get up,and let's go." Sirius said hastily grabbing two baskets of James' get well candy and flowers,"Whoa,these things are heavy! Remus you get the other baskets."
Remus looked at the 'other baskets' There were about 6 'other baskets'. Remus groaned,"If you think for one minute I'm carrying 6 baskets all the way to Gryffindor tower your wrong."
James chuckled and grabbed three of the other baskets,leaving three for Remus. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Uh,aren't you worried we're going to get caught?" James asked,as they walked down a corridor on the second floor.
Sirius looked thoughtful,"Well,I'm not worried we'll get caught,but we probably will get caught. Your so protective of your invisibility cloak you hid it away,and we couldn't find it." Sirius explained.
"I have an invisibility cloak?" James asked himself.
"Well he has good reason to,don't you think? After that marvelous event." Remus asked sarcastically.
"Yeah,but was it really necessary to hid it?" Sirius asked.
"Hmmm,I don't know. After having the cloak thrown up on by Peter and having a toxic smell for 5 months. . .the smell was so bad Filch caught us three times just by following the smell!" Remus added
James grimaced,"Ew. . ."
"Yeah,I really don't blame you James. I lock everything I own in my trunk when I go to sleep at night. Merlin knows how many things of my have been destroyed." Remus said bitterly.
"Oh,your not still whining over that charms book,are you? I was doing it a favor. It was all worn and tattered,so I tried to glue it together-"
"Which made all the pages stick together and have an odd smell to it." Remus cut in.
"Right,but come on it was an old worn out book,why would you want to read that?" Sirius asked.
"Well,let's see. A)It was interesting. B)It was from the 12th century C)It cost around 1,500 galleons. . .and if I remember correctly it was your birthday present to me. So really you threw out 1,500 of your galleons. I only lost the wonderful and inspiring knowledge of the book,but you lost 1,500 galleons,my friend." Remus said chuckling. James joined in.
Sirius gaped in horror at Remus,"I spent 1,500 galleons on you? I could have gotten like 10 new Nimbus 1400's!"
"Thanks,Sirius. It's nice to know you think so highly of me." Remus replied dryly.
"What would you need 10 brooms for?" James asked.
"Yes,Sirius,what would you need 10 brooms for?" Remus asked as well.
"Er,one for every day of the week,and three for special occasions." Sirius replied.
"You don't even use your only broom every day!" Remus exclaimed.
"So? It would still be cool just to say I have a different broom for each day,and three for special occasions." Sirius protested.
"Yes,I'm sure all of your adoring fans will just come pouring in." Remus said sarcastically.
" 'Oh,Sirius,let me have a go on your broom,please? Pretty please? I'll do your charms homework for 2 weeks!' or 'Oh,Sirius,take me on a broom ride! Whisk me away,then snog me senselessly in the moon light!' " James mimicked,batting his eyelashes at Sirius.
"Hahaha." Sirius said slowly,glaring at James and Remus,who were laughing up a storm. "Laugh it up,boys. Just don't come crying to me when your alone and depressed while I have 30 broom babes surrounding me and the Minister of Magic congratulating me."
Remus stopped laughing and look at Sirius funny,"'Broom Babes?'? 'The Minister of Magic'? I don't think so. More like 15 lst year girl's making a Sirius Black Fan Club and stalking you while your ride your brooms."
Remus and James snorted and start laughing again. Sirius narrows his eyes and chucked a jelly bean at each of their heads.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Your late." Emma said curtly the next day. It was 9:34am. Oh the horror.
"It's 9:34am,Vance! 4 minutes late. That's all!" Sirius exclaimed grumpily. He,Remus,James didn't get back until well after 2:00 last night and didn't get much sleep.
"Yes,but we don't have very much time to train him! A month,Black! A month!" Emma shreeched.
"I hope you get Potter trained. We had to listen to Emma rant over and over again all. . .night. . .long. All. Night. Long. . .Do you know how long All Night Long is!" Lily asked,as she and Alice walked up,holding brooms. Hestia also walked up carrying a broom and levitating a large chest.
Alice nodded tiredly.
"Oh,I did not rant all night long. Just till 10:30,when I went to sleep." Emma argued. Lily snorted,"Yeah right. You think you stopped then,but no. Once you went to sleep I can only guess what you dreamt about. 'Black. . .Potter. . .kill. . .Potter not. . .trained. . .face. . .consquences. . .I don't want to. . .ride the troll. . .Mummy!. . .mmm,kill. . .Black. . .Pott-No. . .I don't want to ride the. . .troll. . .zzz. . .' "
Everyone except Emma laughed.
"What are you three doing here at this hour?" Remus asked looking at Hestis,Lily,and Alice.
They rolled their eyes in unison and pointed to Emma.
Emma ignored this and mounted her broom.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Your a natural,Potter!" Emma shouted in glee an hour later.
James grinned and did a dive,pulling up just before he hit the ground.
Lily grumbled as she held on tighter to her broom,watching Potter show off. She wasn't having very much luck with her broom. Lily had never been the best at riding a broomstick. She wasn't afraid of height really,but she was clumsy when it came it flying around in the air. If there was a race between her and Peter Pettigrew,who was awful by the way,Peter would probably win.
It just made her blood boil seeing Potter so great at everything. He didn't even know how to ride a broom an hour ago and now he was acting as if he'd done it all his life. . .well he had done it all his life,and he didn't just learn. He already knew how to fly. Well,he did know how to fly. . .he just forgot. . .but he use to know. . .so he's always known. . .but he just learned a while ago. . .oh,bugger.
"Whoa!" Lily cried as she lost her balence and fell over,still holding the broom tightly,just upside down now. "Er. . .can someone. . .help me?" She asked in a small voice.
Someone did help her,but not the someone she wanted to help her.
"Hi,Lily." Lily was a bit suprised at 'Lily',but shook it off,"Potter why don't you go back to doing flips or something." She asked cooly.
James smirked and tilted his head at her position,"It looks like you need help."
"I don't need help. I can take care of myself." Lily argued,"Watch."
James nodded and watched her.
Lily begin to swing back and forth,trying to bring her leg over the top of the broom. She didn't succeed. She finally stopped,sighed,and glared at a curious Potter.
"Er,I don't think you got anywhere." He pointed out.
Lily scoffed and rolled her eyes,"You think?"
James shrugged and began to fly off when Lily sighed again and called,"Potter!"
James stopped and look at her with a smug smirk on his face,"Yes,Lily?"
"Will you. . .help. . .stop smirking!" Lily barked to Potter,then continued,"Will you help. . .me?"
"I thought you didn't need help." James pretending to be confused.
"I don't. I just need some. . .guidance." Lily protested.
James laughed and messed his hair up.
Lily's eyes narrowed,"Stupid Potter and his stupid bloody hair." She muttered to herself.
"What was that?" James asked.
"Oh,nothing. . .now will you help me?" Lily asked. She was getting a bit dizzy.
James chuckled and moved closer to Lily's broom,"Alright,but you owe me. Here I'll grab your broom and bring it to the ground. Hold on."
"Oh,believe me. I'm holding on." Lily muttered.
And so Lily glided down to the ground upside down with Potter having a smug smirk on his face the whole way.
Lily landed gently on the ground,staring at the sky with her broom on top her. James also landed and got off his broom. He was walked over to her and knelt down. "I hope I was good. . .guidance."
Lily glare at him and scrambled up,holding her broom,"Thank you,Potter."
She said stiffly.
"Anytime." James said breezily,grinning at her.
Lily huffed and walked off the quidditch pitch,not bothering to tell her friends she was leaving. She had had enough of broomsticks and definitely enough of James Sodding Potter the Prat.
