Chapter One: The Beginning of a Wonderful Summer

"AH! JAMES HAROLD POTTER, GET YOUR BIG BUTT BACK HERE!"

Yep, that's me. Lily Evans. Right about now, I'm going nuts because James just poured a bucket of water on me. A bucket of cold water, mind you. Ugh, I'm so going to get that kid.

"Gosh Lily, must you get so defensive?" James said as he ran his hand through his messy hair. He tends to do that a lot. He used to do it just so it looked like he just got off his broom. But now it's become a habit of his.

"Defensive?" I started. "I'm sorry. Let me apologize for SCREAMING AT YOU FOR POURING A BUCKET OF COLD WATER ON ME AT," I looked over at the digital clock on the table next to my bed, "AT 7 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING? ARE YOU BLOODY SERIOUS?" At this point I'm off my bed screaming the hell out of James. Sigh…

"Actually, I think you got it all wrong. I'm Sirius, he's James."

"Oh no," I said as I slowly turned towards the voice coming from the door. "Not him" I continued.

"Oh, c'mon Lily dear, you know your just so ecstatic to see me" Sirius said as he leaned against my doorframe and smirked at how wet I was.

"Sirius, do you even know what ecstatic means?" James said as he gave Sirius a look that said what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-you.

"No, but I heard Remus use it before," Sirius muttered as the smirk was wiped off his face.

"Someone called?" Remus walked into my room casually but I could tell that he was trying to hide his heavy breaths.

"What took you so long, Moony?" James asked as he grinned at Remus' form.

"You guys kinda, sorta, well I don't know…LEFT ME!" Remus said. "I got lost!"

"Sorry that you couldn't keep up Moony," Sirius said as he was obviously over the whole ecstatic conversation.

"Alright, does somebody want to explain what's going on here? Why am I soaking wet at 7 in the morning?" I asked as I turned my attention to James. "You do realize that school ended a week ago. This means that I shouldn't be awake at this hour. It's almost illegal to wake up this early when there is no school." I crossed my arms across my chest waiting for an answer. "Well?" I asked as I began tapping my foot against the floor.

"Well, if you must know, we missed you Lily dear," James said as he put on his Marauder smile. He was famous for it. "And we haven't seen you since we got off the Hogwarts Express. And so, we figured we give our little friend Lily a visit"

"I told them no," Remus said. He was now sitting on my computer chair. "I told them it was way too early and that you would get mad. But they didn't listen…"

"See that?" I said. "This, this is a boy with some sense"

I think it's only fair if I explain everything here. Well, as you know, I'm Lily Evans. And annoying number one is James Potter. Well, it's not fair that I call him annoying. James Potter is, in fact, my best friend, along with the other dodo birds. He has been, actually, since first year. Professor McGonagall paired us up the second day of classes and ever since then, he hasn't stopped getting on my nerves. But somewhere along the line, we've become best friends and closer than ever. We've had our little speed bumps like everyone. Like the time where he tried fighting my battle with Snape. No, you see, I fight my own battles. But James really didn't get that through his thick head…

1st Year

"I don't understand it. Why would they allow filthy little mudbloods in this school in the first place? The whole idea just makes me sick" Severus Snape said to a group of other Slytherins. Lily Evans was on her way to the Great Hall for dinner when she was stopped by the group of Slytherins.

"Severus, move out of my way" Lily said as she tried, unsuccessfully, to get her way past them.

"What…the little Lily Evans is too scared to talk back? Now there's a shocker!" Snape said.

"I said, move" Lily said, now through clenched teeth.

"Now, don't you tell me what to do, mudbl-"

Before Snape could even finish his sentence, a hex was sent his way and he was thrown up against a wall.

"Don't you dare," James Potter said as he ran towards the now fallen Snape, "call her that."

"Ah, the famous Potter coming to rescue the mudbl-" and again was Snape thrown against the same wall.

"If I were you, I would watch your back" James said as he walked away. "Come on Lily."

James continued to walk, not bothering to wait for Lily. He was obviously ticked off and Lily could see that. She jogged up to catch up with him.

"James," Lily said. There was no reply. "James!" Lily said a little bit more loudly. Yet, still no answer. "JAMES!" Lily yelled as she went to stand in front of James.

"What?" He asked annoyed.

"You don't need to fight Snape for me. I can handle Snape fine on my own."

"Well it didn't look like that to me" James muttered.

"I don't handle my problems with violence, James!" Lily said, now annoyed as well.

"Lily, you don't understand. People like Snape mean to hurt you."

"What do you mean people like Snape?" Lily snapped.

"I mean people that are out to get muggle borns and-and" James was at a loss of words.

"James, I don't need you to fight my battles for me. I'm a big girl; I can take care of myself." And with that, Lily walked towards the Great Hall, leaving James standing there to stare at her as she departed.

Although James was an annoying, self-centered, conceited piece of crap, I saw through all of that and I found a warm, kind, and loving person. You just need to dig really, really, really…REALLY deep to find all of that. And well, James has his moments. No other girl knows James like I do. All they see is some god…go figure…

Annoying number two is Sirius Black. And this time, I mean it when I say annoying. Sirius is the kind of guy who you love one minute and you just want to kill the next. It's complicated. But, being friends with James comes with Sirius and Remus. Being friends with one Marauder requires being friends with the others. Well, being friends with Remus wasn't a HUGE loss. Remus and I have become quite close also. It's kind of like James and me, but without the constant yelling and the constant feeling of me wanting to kill him.

Now, back to this little…whatever you want to call it…

"Oh c'mon Lilykins," Sirius said as I cringed at the sound of my nickname, "Jamesie-poo here only wanted to see his beloved and betrothed!" Sirius slapped James on the back and James gave him a death glare.

"Sirius, you really have to shut up," I said as turned to look at my wet bed. "Now do you really think the bucket of water was necessary?"

"Well…no" James said as he looked at Lily guiltily. "But it adds a GREAT dramatic affect, don't you think?" James smirked.

"Haha, very funny, now let me change."

"Alright" Sirius said as he sat on my bed and stared at me.

"You perverted jerk…GET OUT!" I yelled as I pushed Sirius out the door. Remus was already out at 'let me change'.

After I kicked Sirius out, I turned to James.

"Well?"

"Oh right" James quickly scrambled towards the door.

I just shook my head and scoffed. God, their really annoying…

This is only the beginning to my...wonderful summer…

A/N: Should I continue? It sounds boring, yea, but I felt like it needed some kind of introduction…it'll get more interesting later on…should I go on or not? Review please!
