Chapter 4-
Thank you for my reviews! Now I have 8! YAY!
"Remus, Truth or Dare?" Lily asked quickly, trying to forget about the embarrassing thing that had just happened. What she didn't know was that her father had been listening to everything outside the door.
"Erm…Truth." Remus said.
"Do you know my friend Tessa?" Lily asked.
"Yea, of course! Was that my question Lily? If it was, that was a rather waste of a truth question…" Remus replied.
"No, I was wondering what you thought of her…truthfully." Lily said rather cheery.
"Well," Remus said kind of shaky," She's nice, and pretty, and very smart…she was my friend before we got sorted. We talked a little in the boats because these three abandoned me and got in the other boat." Remus said gesturing to James, Sirius, and Peter.
"Anyways, after we got sorted into the same house, I went to sit with these people and we didn't really talk much after that…I say hi to her when I see her though, so it's not like I'm ignoring her or anything."
"Well, that is a sufficient enough answer, Remus" Lily said with a grin, she couldn't wait to tell Tessa all the good things he said about her.
"Moony and Tessa, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" James and Sirius said in a sing-song voice. To them, Remus was their new teasing target. (Before, it was James and Lily.)
"Shut up, yeh bloody gits!" Remus mumbled, glaring at them. He grabbed Lily's nearest pillow and chucked it at James.
James, over reacting, found the perfect excuse to land his head right in Lily's lap. He grabbed his heart, as if he was just shot or something, and collapsed with his gorgeous head landing on Lily's thigh. He grinned and she for (it seemed) the millionth time blushed and playfully hit James's arm.
"Ow!" he said, exaggerating the pain.
At that moment, Mr. Evans walked in the door. He glared at James who quickly picked up his head off of Lily's lap.
"Um…we were just…" James's voice trailed off. He looked at the others as if to say "HELP ME!"
"Dad, we can explain…" Lily said, as if she was about to cry. It wasn't the best thing to walk in on.
James grabbed her hand to comfort her and quickly dropped it after he received a death glare from Mr. Evans.
"I'm sure you can, but I don't want to hear it. I want these 4 out within the hour, do you hear me? I have seen and heard enough." He said coldly, shot another glare at James and slammed the door behind him.
"Harsh..." said Peter. James hit him; didn't he see Lily was practically crying?
"Not.a.good.time!" said James through clenched teeth.
"I'm so…sorry guys…I…blew it." Lily said between sobs. These were the times Lily wished she wasn't so sensitive when her dad yelled at her. It just made it harder for everyone else.
James embraced her in a comforting hug and she just leaned her head against his shoulder. He was so sweet sometimes. Everyone else just sat in an awkward silence until Remus spoke.
"I guess we better get going before Mr. Evans…well I dunno what he'll do but I guessing it won't be too good." Remus said softly.
"Yea…" said the other Marauders in unison.
"Thanks for the visit, guys, it means a lot…" Lily said.
James gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek, mumbled something, and went down to the fireplace. Remus gave her a hug and mumbled "SeeyaatHogwarts" almost so Lily couldn't understand. Peter waved and Sirius gave her a bone crushing hug and said "Only six more days!"
That comment made last by Sirius made her feel better. After they left the room in silence, Lily mumbled "6 more days" to herself over and over again. She did so until she had fallen asleep still mumbling those 3 words: 6 more days.

Fast forward 6 days, 10:30 am
Lily was waiting for some of her friends before she got on the train. She was ½ hour early. She saw in the distance 5 girls running towards her. One had shoulder length blond hair and blue eyes. She was tall, thin and athletic. She was very pretty and quiet. She had glasses too which made her look smart, which of course, she was. Her name was Sarah Stanton. Another girl, maybe up to Sarah's nose, was Erin Hergert. She had shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes. She was thin, short, and very pretty. She wasn't as much of a girly girl as some people Lily knew, like Tessa. Tessa was one of the 5 girls with long, auburn hair and brown eyes and was skinny, thin, and very pretty. She liked to shop, shop, and…shop. The 4th girl was Anna Wexler. She had long brown hair with blue eyes. She was skinny (with curves) and usually curled her hair. She was the one to count on for good comebacks. The last but not least, was petite Lizzy. Liz had short black hair and glasses. She was smart and the one who could make anything sound perverted. She was Peter Pettigrew's only fan. She liked people by their personality and not their looks. Why else would she like Peter?
A/N: Sorry that was full of descriptions, but I needed you to have a visual…sorry if that paragraph bored u a little.
"LILY!" Sarah yelled. They all gave each other bone crushing hugs. They were all away during the summer so Lily saw none of them.
"Hey guys!" Lily said excitedly. She had missed them all so much!
"Hey, where's Katy?" Liz asked. Katy was another one of their friends whom Lily hadn't seen on the platform yet.
All of a sudden, a girl with medium length brownish/blond hair came running through the wall with her trolley in one hand and her cat in the other. She had braces with an aqua color.
"Hey, fools! Didja miss me?" Katy asked.
"KATY!" the six of them yelled in unison. Katy, Sarah, and Erin were all muggleborns, like Lily. Tessa was half-blood and Anna was a pureblood (the good kind).
They all ran and practically squished her.
"Ahh! Get off of me you fools!" Katy screamed at her best friends, fool was her word she often called people. The 7 of them were like the Marauders except in girl form.
Suddenly Aaron Lohr, a 7th year Ravenclaw, came through the wall. Sarah had liked him since second year. She was in advanced Transfiguration and he was in the table in front of her. She was a little…obsessed. He had come around the corner and didn't see Sarah.
CRASH!
She was knocked to the ground. He quickly rushed to her aid.
"Are you alright?" he asked
"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. What happened?" Sarah asked.
"I'm a git, and I accidentally ran into you with my trolley. Are you sure you're okay?" he asked kindly.
"Yea," she said, "I'm fine." Smiling, Aaron helped Sarah up and walked her to her compartment on the train.
By that time, the Marauders arrived.
Remus was looking at Tessa, James had his arm around Lily, and Sirius was daydreaming. He had lost interest in Anna. He was also wondering who the girl with the dark hair standing next to Lily was.
Lily noticed James grin and realized he had his arm round her. She gave him a glare and he backed off. She and her father, oddly enough, had the same glare.
They got on the train. The pairs went:
Lily & James, Sarah & Aaron, Katy & Anna (poor them, they didn't have any major crushes or boyfriends), Erin & Sirius, Liz & Peter, Tessa & Remus
Sarah was in a deep snogging session with Aaron when the others got on the train. They decided to leave them alone and got their own compartment. James enlarged it on the inside so they could all fit. They got changed into their robes and talked for a while. For what seemed like forever, they finally pulled into Hogwarts.
"FINALLY!" Lily shouted.
They all decided to get into the first year boats because they had been late getting off the train. When they got there, they made a break for the Gryffindor table (with the exception of Aaron who went to Ravenclaw) and found seats. James's little sister got sorted into Gryffindor. Her name was Laura and was a spitting image of her brother except with long, wavy hair.
They all went to bed after the delicious feast. This year is going to be great thought Lily. Little did she know, everyone else had that exact thought in their mind as well.
