To the anonymous reviewer:
In case you haven't noticed, only Lily and Crystal are good looking, we never said that Ceran and Melissa are. Their beauty has to do with something else that you don't even know about yet. If you didn't notice last chapter in the beginning, we mentioned that the characters in this story were based on real people. Also, you have no right whatsoever to go accusing random people of being shallow when you don't even know them. Besides, you only read one little section, you shouldn't go around judging people automatically. Next time, at least wait for other chapters. Also, this is a story which means its fictional which means that how they look is completely up to the authors. If you want to keep reading then go ahead, but stop giving harsh criticism. If you really were angry about it, you would tell us in helpful criticism instead of insulting. We really don't care if you continue reading or not, you aren't helping us at all.
Thanks to silverrstar for reviewing the last chapter!
Recap!
Lily grinned and her eyes flashed as if she just got an idea. "Hey! Can you guys sleepover tonight?"
"Yeah! That's a great idea Lils!" Ceran exclaimed.
"Thanks CC!" Lily replied.
The girls got ready to sleep and ended up talking until 2:00 in the morning, when Lily forced them to sleep, in order to be ready in the morning.
The girls quickly dozed off, feeling safe in the walls of Hogwarts.
Lily and the girls just explored her Head room, and slept over! This chapter will have more explanations, just to get you introduced to the story, so sorry, but things will get more interesting with drama and all that later, anyways, Back to the story then!

Melissa was having a wonderful dream until…
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Lily screamed.
The rest of the girls woke up.
"Geez Lils, what is it?" Ceran asked, she was not a morning person, so she was often cranky when woken up.
"We are almost late to breakfast, which means that we are almost late to the first day of classes!" She yelled, running around to get ready for the first real day of school.
The rest of the girls laughed but quickly came to their senses and began running around to get things ready as well.
Finally, after about 20 minutes, the girls were all ready and went down to breakfast.
"Morning girls!" James said, grinning.
"Stuff it Potter." Lily muttered, in a semi-bad mood.
Sirius laughed at James.
The girls plopped down away from the Marauders and ate their breakfast.
"What classes do we have today?" Ceran asked between her bites.
"Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts" replied Lily.
"Alright!" Melissa said, those two were her favorite subjects.
When the girls finished their breakfast they went to the Transfiguration classroom for good seats. Unfortunately for them, the Marauders came in after them and sat right behind them.
Transfiguration was with the Ravenclaws, so nothing too interesting happened though out the class.
"Ugh, thank goodness for free periods." James said, walking out of the classroom with his fellow Marauders.
"Ugh, I hate Potter." Lily said, her mood remaining the same as that morning.
"Suuure!" Ceran teased.
That comment resulted in a slap on the arm from Lily.
"I'm only kidding!" Ceran said, rubbing her arm.
After their free period, they went to Defense Against the Dark Arts, their last class. It was with the Hufflepuffs, and unfortunately for the girls, the Marauders were in it too.
The DADA class was much like the Transfiguration class, with not much interesting occurring.
After their last class, they had lunch, and the rest of the day to begin their large piles of homework waiting for them.
The girls walked back from DADA to go to the Great Hall. Unfortunately, they ran into another group that they hated even more than the Marauders.
They were the most annoying group in all of Hogwarts, and they were in Slytherin. Their leader was Bethany Stone. Valeria Lock, Hallie Callos, and Lindsay Jorg, followed her everywhere and copied her every move.
Bethany Stone was known for taking advantage of people, and using them, and backstabbing her friends. She was a great pretender, and few people fell for her trap.
Unfortunately, Lily was one of them that fell for her trap, because Lily saw the best in everyone, and didn't believe in rivalry. The other girls however, glared at the group. Though Melissa hated rarely anyone, even she hated Bethany Stone.
"Oh my gosh! Lily! Is that you?" Bethany asked in her high pitched voice.
"Hi Bethany." Lily replied.
"We totally need to take pictures sometime and hook up yeah?" Bethany asked.
"Uh, sure?" Lily said.
The annoying group walked away.
There was one other group that Ceran especially hated, not including the annoying girls.
They were the sluttiest, most ditsy, and meanest girls in Hogwarts. Their names were Julia Jones, Julie-Ann Koles, and Monique Hallers, and they were in Gryffindor. Julia Jones was worst, Julie-Ann Koles second worst, and Monique Hallers was nice when she was alone, but with her friends, she was just as bad.
Ceran hated girls that were always showing off too much of their body, putting on a ton of makeup, and flirted every five seconds.
This group fit in all of those categories, so she resulted in calling them 'The Slutzillas', as an insult to them. The other girls didn't mind them as much.
"Ugh! I can't stand Bethany! Every time I see her I just want to punch her in the face!" Ceran said. This caused the other girls to laugh. "How do you put up with her Lils?" She asked. "Didn't you used to not like her?"
"Well, I think she deserves a second chance, and I don't like being mean to people, it is my weakness or something." Lily said.
"Pffft! How about Potter?" Crystal asked.
"Potter is a special case." Lily muttered. The girls laughed again.
"Well, give her all the chances you want, but I am telling you, she is bad news!" Melissa said. She had known Bethany longest, because she went to her grade school a few years ago.
Lily just shrugged.
The day ended quickly, and the Ceran, Melissa, and Crystal said goodbye to Lily, and went to their own dormitories, to catch up with their dorm mates. Their dorm mates were Tessa Lianas, Allie Rhodes, Belinda Lianas, and Annabelle Karsts. Tessa and Belinda were twins, but didn't look alike at all. Tessa, Allie, Belinda, and Annabelle were Ceran, Melissa, Crystal, and Lily's friends, but the two groups of four were just close friends, but not best friends with each other.
(A/N Lily and all of them are best friends, and Tessa and all of them are best friends, but the two groups are just close friends, just to make that clear, because we don't really know how to phrase that, anyways, On with the story!)
Even though Lily had her own bed in the Head's room, she had another bed in her old dorm, incase she ever wanted to go back.
"Oh my goodness! Hi guys! You all have gotten so much taller!" Melissa said.
They all exchanged hugs and talked.
"Yeah except me!" Belinda said, she was the shortest of the group, and her twin was the second tallest in the group; Allie was tallest, and Annabelle was second shortest. The girls laughed.
"Don't worry! You will grow!" Ceran said, between laughs.
The girls continued to talk and catch up on what they did over the summer, as Ceran, Melissa, and Crystal set their beds up next to each other.
Finally when it was 12:30 a.m., each girl had finally drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The week passed fairly quickly, and it was Friday already. Melissa, Ceran, and Crystal all decided to join Lily once again in another girl's night, sleeping over at Lily's dorm.
"Hey! We should make every Friday a Girl's night officially!" Crystal suggested.
"Sure! That's a good idea!" Lily said, agreeing.
"So Lily," Ceran said, grinning mischievously, "Who do you like?" She rushed in the end.
"Ugh," Lily said, rolling her eyes, "You guys have been asking me all of last year! I though you gave up already!" She exclaimed.
"Nope!" Melissa grinned, "Besides! Since we asked all last year, I think we deserve to know this year!"
After many minutes of continuous arguing, Lily finally gave in.
"Fine! But if I tell you, promise not to tell anyone!" Lily said.
"Yeah yeah, just go on!" Crystal said.
"Ok, it's Waldron Lewis." Lily said, blushing.
"Who's that?" Melissa asked.
Ceran had her eyes wide open, before she finally burst out laughing. "WALDRON?" She continued laughing, until Lily hit her. "Waldron is in our year, Gryffindor, sits in front of us in Potions? Dark brown hair? Tall, skinny, kind of nerdy guy?" Ceran said, beginning to laugh again.
"Oh!" Melissa said, realizing who it was.
"Well, are you going to do anything? You've liked him for about a year haven't you?" Crystal asked.
"Yeah! But I don't know what to say or do!" Lily protested. "Now can we change the topic or go to sleep?" Lily said, beginning to get tired and embarrassed.
Melissa, noticing this, agreed, to not pressure Lily anymore.
The girls went to sleep, but was suddenly interrupted by a loud noise outside.
"What was that?" Crystal asked, scared.
"Let's go check!" Ceran said, excitedly.
The girls got their wands out and cautiously walked outside, with Ceran leading them. When they saw it was just the Marauders fooling around in the Head's common room, the girls just looked at Lily; she usually handled any 'cases' with the Marauders.
"WHAT WAS THAT? ARE YOU TRYING TO WAKE US ALL UP! WHY ARE YOU SUCH A PRAT AND CAN'T BE THE LEAST BIT SENSITIVE AND LET US SLEEP!" Lily screamed, she was cranky when she was woken up, when she had just fallen asleep. "PLEASE JUST SHUT UP AND LET US SLEEP!" She concluded, and went past the girls, back into her room.
The girls followed, giving the boys glances, as if saying 'sorry' for Lily. Ceran, Melissa, and Crystal only disliked the Marauders, and didn't hate them as much as Lily hated Potter. The girls even felt sorry that Lily always did that.
After that incident, the girls went back to their passive sleep.

A few weeks later…
"Hey Lily! I know you like Waldron!" Bethany said to Lily one afternoon in late September by the lake.
"What? No I don't" Lily said, hoping that she was just mistaken.
"Yes you do!" Bethany said.
"Who told you?" Lily asked, wondering where she had heard it from.
"No one, I just know." Bethany said in a somewhat mischievous way.
"Fine, yes I do, so what? Please don't tell anyone?" Lily asked while sighing.
"Sure, but I think you should tell him." Bethany suggested.
"Why?" Lily said.
"Just do it!" Bethany said.
"I don't want to; it's probably just some silly crush." Lily said.
"Do you want me to tell him for you?" Bethany implored.
"Uh," Lily thought for awhile. She knew Bethany wouldn't leave until she got what she wanted.
"Fine" Lily said, sighing.
"Alright!" Bethany said, beaming, and walked away.
Lily suddenly realized what she had just done and got up to run to her best friends for help.
"Ceran! Meliss! Crys!" Lily called in the Gryffindor common room.
"Lily? Are you ok?" Melissa asked, sensing something was wrong right away.
"Oh my goodness! You won't believe what I just did!" Lily exclaimed.
"What happened Lils?" Ceran asked.
"Well, Bethany was talking to me by the lake, and she told me that she knew I liked Waldron. Then she just randomly asked me if she could tell him that I liked him. I wanted her to go away, and knew she wouldn't unless I said yes, so I said yes, and I just realized what I just did! What am I going to do?" Lily said, panicking.
"Oh my goodness! Lily! Calm down! I'm sure it will be ok! He might like you too!" Crystal said in a comforting tone.
After awhile of coaxing Lily, they finally got her to calm down and not be embarrassed by it.
They finally took her out of the Gryffindor Common Room to find Bethany.
"Oi Bethany!" Crystal called.
"Yes?" Bethany asked.
"Did you ask yet?" Ceran asked in a threatening tone.
"Yeah!" Bethany replied.
"Well? What did he say?" Lily asked, anxious to what the answer was going to be.
Flashback:
"Hey Waldron! I have to tell you something!" Bethany said.
"What?" Waldron asked, annoyed that she pulled him away during a game of wizards chess with his best mate.
"Well, Lily wanted me to tell you that she likes you." Bethany said.
"Oh, really?" Waldron said, his face remaining expressionless.
"Yeah." Bethany replied.
"Oh, ok. Is that it?" Waldron said.
"Well, do you like her back?" Bethany questioned.
"I don't know?" Waldron replied, and walked back to his game.
"Ugh." Bethany said, rolling her eyes, and walked away.
End of flashback.
"That's it?" Lily asked.
"Yep!" Bethany said, and walked away to join her "friends"
"Oh my goodness you guys! I am so embarrassed!" Lily said, burying her hands in her face. She started to run back to her Head's room.
"Come on." Ceran said, following Lily.
Lily ran into someone right at the entrance to the Head's room, she looked up to see a curious James Potter looking back into her eyes.
The two walked into the Head's common room. "Lils? What's wrong?" James asked in a surprisingly nice voice.
"What do you care?" Lily asked, beginning to cry.
"I care Lily, but if you don't want to talk about it, I understand, we can just sit here and you can cry on my shoulder." James said. The two were now sitting on the couch.
Ceran and the other girls had seen that James took over, and quietly snuck out of the Common Room, and snickered, and walked away.
Lily cried more, and began explaining everything that happened just then.
"Oh, it's ok! Waldron is just a git, and didn't realize that a beautiful girl liked him!" James said.
Lily looked into James' hazel eyes. She was surprised that he was being so understanding, kind, and complimenting her without any smart-alec comments.
"Thanks James." Lily said, after a few minutes of silence.
James opened his eyes widely, he was surprised that Lily called him by his first name.
"No problem Lily, if you ever need me just go ahead and knock on my door." James replied.
"Thanks again." Lily said, and walked slowly back to her own room.
James burst into a wide grin and walked to his own room.
Lily lay in her bed, and thought that James had changed somewhat over the summer. She began liking this James much better than the pranking James. She dozed off.
James was lying in his bed, thinking of the progress he had gotten with Lily. He had finally been able to have a conversation with her, with out being called a git or a prat. He soon drifted off as well, dreaming about Lily.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Many weeks passed since the incident with Waldron, and James and Lily's relationship had gotten much closer to each other. Lily began liking him more and more as each day passed.
Ceran and Lily were talking to each other in Lily's room, when Melissa and Crystal had Divination. Ceran and Lily had given up on Divination.
"What's up Lily? You seem so distracted lately." Ceran said.
"C, I think I like James." Lily said suddenly.
"What? Are my ears hearing you right? THE Lily Evans likes THE James Potter? No way! Are you serious or just joking with me here?" Ceran asked.
"I'm serious!" Lily protested.
"Since when!" Ceran asked curiously.
"Well, since the whole Waldron thing. I don't know, James just has been showing this totally different side of him! He has been talking to me a lot lately at night in our common room. I don't know, I like this other side of him." Lily said, thinking about James.
"Wow." Ceran said, astonished. "Does Melissa and Crystal know about this?"
"No, please don't tell them either, only you know. Don't tell anyone ok? I am just closer to you and not as close with Meliss and Crys. Just don't ok? Please?" Lily asked.
"Sure." Ceran said, respecting her friend's one wish.
"Hey guys!" Melissa said, suddenly bursting into the room.
"Ah! Finally it is Friday! I have been waiting all week for our Girl's night!" Crystal said.
"Yep! So relaxing eh? Neither of us get any sleep!" Ceran said, chuckling to herself.
The girls laughed and followed their regular 'Girl's Night' ritual, staying up late and talking.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
In case you didn't know, 'Crys' is pronounced like 'Chris'. Just wanted you to know that.
I posted this one without letting my partner see it first, so I am so sorry! But if she sees anything in here that she doesn't like later on, we may just repost.
Anyways, please review!
