Thanks to Pink Padfoot for reviewing the last chapter!
Recap:
They ended up liking the feeling of pranking, and named themselves the Marauders and pranked whenever was possible.
The girl's initials spelled out 'COOL' so some anonymous person began calling them the Cool girls, and the name stuck for them.

June came all too quickly and their first year came to a close.
They said their goodbyes before exiting the barrier, and began a hot summer.
Ok, so… time for summer! The next chapter will begin second year.
Anyways, Petunia is actually going to be nice to Lily for awhile, until later on, where she becomes what you know her to be today! So, just letting you know that they are going to be nice sisters to each other! Anyways, on with the story!

"LILY!" Jasmine screamed, and ran to Lily and gave her a bear hug.
"Jas, honestly, there is no need to squeal like that." George told his wife. He turned to Lily, "Lily! How've you been?" He asked and gave her a fatherly hug.
"I've been fine dad! Hogwarts is really cool! Where's Pet?" Lily asked. Using a name that she had given her sister Petunia when she was only a few months old. 'Petunia' was too long and hard to say, so she called her Pet.
"Oh, she is still at school, it's her last day!" Jasmine said.
"Oh ok! Can we go home now?" Lily said, laughing.
"Oh yeah! I knew we were forgetting something! Let's go!" George said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"LILY!" Petunia shrieked when she came home from school. She had the same reaction as when Jasmine first saw her.
"Pet!" Lily said happily.
"Oh my goodness! You look gorgeous!" Petunia exclaimed.
"You look pretty good yourself!" Lily said.
Petunia had medium lengthed, dark brown curly hair, with lighter brown highlights in it. She was tall and slim, and was very popular at her old school. She was very pretty, and attracted many boys.
"So, who's the boyfriend of the month?" Lily asked teasingly. Petunia smacked her shoulder playfully.
"Lily!" Petunia exclaimed.
"Girls! Time for dinner! Get down here!" Called their mother from downstairs.
"OK!" they yelled back.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The family was eating dinner peacefully, when suddenly Jasmine screamed.
"GEORGE! GEORGE! WHAT IS THAT?" She exclaimed, pointing at a bird in the window.
"Oh it's alright mum, that's an owl! We use it for mail and post!" Lily explained. She took the letter from the brown owl and read it.
Dear Lily,
How has your summer been? Mine is ok I guess. I miss all of you a lot! It is really boring without you here! We should get together sometime! When we get the letter from Hogwarts let's meet up at Diagon Alley ok? Write back!
Love,
Crystal
"Mum! Is it ok if I go and reply to Crystal?" Lily asked. She had just finished explaining all of her friends.
"Only if you finished dear." Jasmine said.
Lily finished her dinner and ran up to her room.
Dear Crystal,
My summer is ok I guess, it just started! But it feels like it has been forever! We really should meet up soon! Oh wait hold on there is another owl-
She heard a pecking at her window and saw another owl. She took the letter and read it.
Dear Lilikins,
Can I call you that? It looks really cool when I spell it out! Anyways, how has your summer been? Mine is extremely boring! My parents annual summer party is coming up on July 17 and I was just wondering if you could come! Their party would be downstairs, and ours would be much smaller and upstairs. Just a little get together. Sirius, Remus, and Peter are coming, I already sent a letter to Crystal, Oriana, and Oribelle about it. Hope you can come!
Your extremely hot friend,
James
Lily rolled her eyes at the last part and yelled downstairs.
"Mum! Can I go to James' party on July 17?" Lily asked. There was a short pause of silence.
"Will there be other people there?" George called up suspiciously. Lily laughed.
"Of course! Crystal, Oriana, and Oribelle! But I'm not sure if they are going." Lily replied.
"You can go if they are!" Jasmine called.
Lily began finished her letter to Crystal.
-wow! That is amazing! It is the answer to our little get together! I can only go if you, Oriana, and Oribelle go! I hope you can go! Answer ASAP!
Love,
Lily
She began her reply to James.
Dear James,
Ha ha, very funny. Extremely hot? You wish! Just kidding there! But anyways, I can only go if Crystal, Oriana, and Oribelle can go! Thanks for the invite. Oh, and my summer has been boring too. And you do know that it has only been about a day since school ended? Well anyways, bye!
Your friend,
Lily. (Not 'Lilikins')
She sent it off with the same owl, when another owl came along.
Dear Lily,
Hi! Are you going to James' party? We are! Even though it has only been one day since school ended, it feels like forever! Oriana is taking a bubble bath or whatever, and told me to write a letter to you. I wanted to anyways, so don't get any wrong ideas! Reply with this owl ok?
Love,
Oriana and Oribelle
Dear Oriana and Oribelle,
I am going as long as you guys and Crystal can go! So pretty much, yes! I need to go to sleep now! So this letter is pretty short, sorry! Can't wait to see you guys!
Love,
Lily
She sent the letter off, and went to sleep.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
She was awoken in the middle of the night by another pecking at the window.
She took the letter and read it sleepily.
Dear Lily,
Sorry to send this letter so late! I hope I haven't woken you up, but I was too excited and couldn't sleep. My parents said I could go! Do you know if the Oreos are going? The Oreos are Oriana and Oribelle. I just thought of it. Makes it easier than to write out both their names. Anyways, I'll sleep as soon as I get a reply from you! So you better send a reply so I can get some sleep!
Love,
Crystal
Lily smiled and wrote back.
Dear Crystal,
Don't worry! You woke me up! But that's ok, I'm glad you are going, Oreos huh? Nice name! Anyways, they wrote to me and said they could go! My hand is pretty sore since you, James, and the Oreos wrote me practically all at once. Now get some sleep! Night!
Love,
Lily
She sent the owl off, and quickly fell back to sleep.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Morning!" Lily said, as she entered the kitchen.
"Morning Lils, you've got mail!" Her mother said from the stove.
She took the letter and read it.
Dear Lilikins,
Too bad! I like the name so it's sticking! Well, Oriana, Oribelle, and Crystal said they could come, so I am guessing that you are too! That is good. Since you probably don't have floo powder, and you can't apparate, you can go to Diagon Alley at 12:00 p.m. I'm having everyone else meet us there. We will eat lunch and then we are going to my house all together. Just wait by 'the Malsder'; it's a restaurant near Ollivanders. See you then!
The Irrisistable,
James
Lily grinned and told her mother about the plans.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Several weeks passed, and July 22 arrived. Jasmine dropped her daughter to Diagon Alley and arrived a bit early.
"Bye dear! Have a good time!" Jasmine called out as she left Lily at the Leaky Cauldron.
"Bye mom!" Lily replied.
She went to the bricks and hit the right order and saw the entrance to the live and busy Diagon Alley.
She walked around a bit until she reached 'The Malsder', where she saw James waiting by himself.
"Hi James!" Lily said. James grinned as he turned around to see Lily.
When he saw her he felt a strange feeling inside of him that tingled. He shook it off and replied in his normal happy mood, "Hi my Lilikins! How are you this fine day?"
Lily rolled her eyes. "Ok I guess? Where is everyone else?" She asked.
"Oh, if you mean I parents, they aren't joining us. Sirius is in the bathroom. For the rest of them, if you haven't noticed my dear Lilikins, you are way early." He replied.
Lily blushed, "If I am so early, why are you and Sirius here even earlier?" She questioned.
"Well we brought Sirius, and my parents had to do something here earlier, so I just waited here with Sirius. Speaking of Sirius, what is taking him so long? He has been there for practically half an hour!" James exclaimed.
"Uhhh-" Lily was suddenly cut off.
"No need to wait, SIRIUS is has arrived!" Sirius said, pretending he was an announcer.
"Hi Sirius!" Lily said.
"Hello my fair lady!" Sirius said, as he went down on one knee and kissed Lily's hand.
Lily rolled her eyes and wiped her hand off, as James smacked Sirius.
"What took you so long? You've been away for practically half and hour!" James asked.
"Oh, I went to the bathroom, and then when I came out I saw this HOT girl. So I talked to her, then she had to go so I was going to go back. But then I saw Lily came, so I thought it would be entertaining to watch you guys." He explained.
Lily and James smacked him on both arms.
"You were listening to us?" Lily asked.
"No! Of course not! I was merely spectating." He replied.
"Sirius-" James was cut off.
"James! Sirius! Lily! Good to see you guys!" Remus came in with Peter trailing behind.
"Hi Remus, Peter" Lily replied.
"What's up my home skizzlebits?" Sirius suddenly said.
Everyone burst out laughing.
"SKIZZLEBITS!" James yelled, still laughing hardly.
"Where- did- you – learn- that-?" Remus said, trying to choke back laughter.
Finally when the laughter died down, the decided to go inside to get a table.
"Table for eight please." Lily said politely to the man at the desk.
"LILY!" There was a sudden shriek from the entrance. Crystal, Oriana, and Oribelle had just entered.
"Crys! Ana! Belle!" Lily said. She used her own nicknames for them, Crystal was Crys, Oriana was Ana, and Oribelle was Belle.
They embraced before joining the boys at their table. There was another boy that looked a bit older than them.
"Hi, My name is Chris. I am going to be your server today." He said. "What do you guys want to drink?"
"Butterbeer" said Sirius.
"Butterbeer" said Remus.
"Butterbeer" said Peter.
"Butterbeer" said Oribelle.
"Water" said Oriana.
"Butterbeer" said Crystal.
"Pumpkin Juice" said Lily.
"Butterbeer" said James.
"Ok, so that's 6 butterbeers, one water, and one Pumpkin Juice for this beautiful lady." He said, and winked at Lily.
He walked away with the orders for drinks.
"I think he was hitting on you Lils" Crystal said.
Lily blushed. "No he wasn't!"
"Yeah he was!" Oriana and Oribelle said at the same time. The boys rolled their eyes.
The argument would have continued but Chris the waiter had come back.
"6 butterbeers, one water, and one pumpkin juice." He said, handing it to the right people.
"What's a young guy like you doing in a place like this?" Oriana asked flirtatiously.
"Oh, my parents own the restaurant, I am just visiting from America. I go there for my school." He replied.
"Oh, what's it like in America?" Remus asked.
"Oh its lovely, I go to a school in Southern California. The weather is wonderful." Chris replied. "So, can I take your orders?" He asked.
The group gave their orders to Chris.
After awhile, everyone had finished eating, and left the restaurant.
"Time for James' house!" Sirius exclaimed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
James' parents flooed them to James' house.
Once Lily went in, she was breathless.
As they entered the house, or mansion rather, there was a beautiful crystal chandelier, and the room was very spacious.
"Take them upstairs James! The guests are coming soon!" Mary said, doing last minute decorations.
The group went upstairs to find a large room made just for playing around with kids around their age.
The party finally ended at 8:00, and everyone said their goodbyes and flooed back. Lily was the only one left over because she could not floo to her muggle home.
Lily mentally smacked herself for not planning ahead and knowing how to get home.
"Hey where do you live?" James asked.
"Uh, 11215 Rue Street."
"Are you serious? We are 11213 Rue Street!" James exclaimed. "We are neighbors!"
"No, that's not possible because the people that live next door to us have a small house that is plain." Lily said.
"Oh, we have an enlargement charm, we made it look like that on the outside." James explained. He then laughed.
"Oh." Lily said, her eyes widening as she realized who her neighbor was.
"Come on, I'll walk you home." James offered.
When they reached outside, they could feel the hot and humid heat of summer around them.
"Well, bye Lily!" James said cheerfully as Lily got to her door.
"Bye James." She replied, and went inside her house.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next day, she received her letter from Hogwarts.
Dear Ms. Lily Evans,
A reminder that school begins once again on September 1st. Included is a list of the books you will need.
Sincerely,
Headmistress McGonagall
Lily smiled at the thought of going back to Hogwarts. She saw another letter from someone else.
Dear Lilikins,
Since you have muggle parents, my parents wanted to know if you wanted to come with us to Diagon Alley to buy books. You got your book list right? Please reply by this owl.
Your neighbor,
James
After reading the letter, she asked her mother if she could go with James to Diagon Alley. Her mother approved of it, and said only if the Potters came for dinner that night.
Dear James,
My mum says sure, but on one condition. She is inviting your family to dinner tonight as a thank you.
Waiting,
Lily
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The month of August passed by quickly and it was finally September 1st. Lily had to go with James to King Cross Station because her parents were away at work, and Petunia had already gone to school.
They left a note for her.
Dear Lily,
Good Luck in your second year of Hogwarts! We will miss you!
Love,
Your Parents & Petunia
There was another note from Petunia.
Dear Lily,
Have a great time! Sorry I'm not here to send you off, I'll miss you sooo much! Don't forget to send mail dearie! Haha! Have a great year!
Love,
Pet
Lily smiled, and went with the Potters and quickly joined the other six in a compartment.
The Second year had begun.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ok, so I know Petunia doesn't look like that, but stuff will happen later on.
Does anyone know what time period the Lily and James time period was? Year wise? If you could tell me that would be great. If no one knows then I will just make it up.
Does anyone want to tell me when Lily, James, and the rest of the people's birthdays are? Just give me a month for each person. I don't know when I should make their birthdays, so just a certain month would be good. I know JKR never really says when all of their birthdays were. Thanks!
The address for Lily is based on my awesome best friend!
REVIEW! please?
