Gemini Calling
This is the first part of a planned trilogy. Part I, Gemini Calling covers Lily, James, and company through their 7th year at Hogwarts (Marauder Era). The second part covers life after Hogwarts until the "fateful" (?) day when Voldemort comes a knocking. The third and final installment is my version of the Harry Potter books. In a nutshell, Lily and James survive, Sirius gets married and reproduces...Life is never boring with the Evan twins in your life and the Marauders in your bed!! I bet your thinking what is wrong with this girl!! Please review and all comments are appreciated.

Chapter 1
Lily Cornelia Evans felt like she was looking in a mirror, sitting across from her in the plush compartment on the Hogwarts Express she saw the same porcelain skin dusted with freckles, the same long thick layered dark red hair, the same sparkling almond shaped green eyes alight with the promise of learning and mischief. But in reality Lily was looking at her twin sister, Rose Cordelia Evans who up in till recently was educated at the French school, Beauxbatons.
The Evan twins were always called "The twins" and after eleven years of being known as one single identity "the twins" were sick of it. So when they got the chance to go their separate ways but still be close to one another they jumped at the chance. However this year Lily begged, pleaded and quite frankly coerced her twin sister and best friend to join her at Hogwarts for their last year at schooling. Lily has apparently decided that they had enough "alone" time and that they had indeed created their own separate personalities and now could be together without fear of becoming "the twins." How likely this plan is to succeed is relatively unknown.
"Oh Rosie, I am so glad you decided to join me this year," Lily sighed, "I missed you so much."
"I know it was weird being apart," Rose said. Glancing at the shiny Head Girl badge pinned on Lily's robes Rose remarked, "Hey shouldn't you be getting to the head's compartment to have that meeting. I bet your dying to know who the Head boy is."
"You're right Rose.."
"Naturally"
With a mock glare at her sister Lily stood up and shook imaginary dust from her robes and said, "Are you sure you will be okay here, I mean you can always come with me."
"Lily, I will be fine I am more that capable of taking care of myself just as you are."
"I know, it's just that your new and the Slytherins play dirty."
"I will be fine, go, lead the students, be an example," Rose expressed pushing Lily out of the compartment.
"Fine, this shouldn't take more than a half an hour tops. Okay? I love you."
"Yeah, yeah, I love you too."

Just as Rose sank once more into the plush covered seat of the train, the compartment door burst open once again. Rose closed her eyes in annoyance.
"Lily! I swear I'll be fine!" Rose said exasperated.
"Um, aren't YOU Lily?" a male's voice echoed throughout the compartment.
Rose opened her eyes in a flash to see three young men waiting to come in.
"Do you mind if we sit here, everywhere else is full," a young man with sandy blonde hair and warm brown eyes said.
"No not at all" Rose said, reinforcing her statement with a sweet smile.
"What were you referring to earlier? Aren't you Lily?" another young man with shaggy black hair and startling gray eyes asked.
"Actually no," Rose replied, "I am Lily's sister, Rose Evans, up till recently I attended Beauxbatons."
"So your like twins??" the black haired man asked with a slightly confused expression on his handsome face.
The blond haired man punched the black haired man on the arm and turned to Rose offering his hand for her to shake.
"I'm Remus Lupin and these are my friends Sirius Black pointing to the dark haired man and Peter Pettigrew pointing to another boy Rose didn't notice before who was quite plump, had blonde hair plastered to his round head and small watery blue eyes.
Rose returned the shake with a "its nice to meet you." Thinking to herself, This year is going to be interesting goodbye dull and normal. I mean after all, being normal Is vastly overrated.

As Lily Evans walked to the Head's compartment she pondered the mysterious identity of the Head boy. Opening the door, Lily immediately gasped in horror, sitting there already waiting for her proudly displaying his Head boy badge and Quidditch captain badge was drop dead gorgeous handsome hazel eyed and messy raven haired James Potter.
"Not you, please, anyone just not you," Lily moaned.
James's grin immediately fell from his attractive face. "Ohy Evans, I'm not that bad."
"You see Potter that's where we have our "creative differences." Lily sighed, "I feel like crying. Years of hard work all building up towards this moment..You know what Potter? God hates me. Yes, you heard right," Lily answered looking at Potter's face who was obviously wondering if she was a few grapes short of a fruit salad. "God hates me, what else is the reason for my rotten luck."
James Potter hesitantly stood up and ran a nervous hand through his shaggy black hair.
"Evans, contrary to popular belief, I really don't like arguing with you...so...um..
how about this year we try to be civil to each other maybe even friends?" Potter replied with a hesitant tone in his voice.
Lily pondered to herself: she had two options she could either make the best of bad situation or make the bad situtaion worse. Lily Evans was a practical person prone to logic and facts and she decided not to make her seventh and final year harder than it had to be. "Fine Potter, shaking her head, er James, I'll try."
James's grin instantly reappeared on his face, "That's all I'm asking for Lily. Okay lets get down to business and discuss what we want to say to the prefects."
With a mixture of surprize and shock of her face for the first time, Lily Evans sat down to work side by side with James Potter.


Authors's Note:
Note Lily and Rose's middle names are different
In this story James Potter's hair mirrors the way in which Daniel Radclife wears his in HP movie #4 (kinda long and shaggy- perfect for runnning your fingers through)- I Love it like this!!
Pairings are eventually Lily/James and Rose/Sirius don't know about Remus maybe Remus/Tonks??
