Note: Thanks guys for everything! I thought of an idea for this chapter this morning and just for heads up, this chapter won't be just Lily and James.

The rest of Holiday break went by in a flash for Lily and James. Before they knew it all of their friends were arriving back and classes would start up again the following day. Lily woke up early so that she could get down to Hogsmade for when the train arrived so she could greet Marlene. James on the other hand was still asleep and probably would be until noon or the other three Marauders woke him up themselves, and that alone if probably dangerous.

Lily was down eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Hogwarts express, when the train appeared in her sight. When the train stopped and the prefects opened the doors, Marlene was the frist one out of the train.

"Hey Lils! I was afraid you would have died from boredom here by yourself." She said

"Hey Marls." Lily said with a smile and rolled her eyes

The two girls walked back to the castle discussing what happened over the Holidays.

"Wait, so let me get this right, you and James Potter, spent all of Holidays together and you didn't once try and murder each other." Marlene said, not bothering to hide the surprise and shock in her voice.

"Yes, well at first we just avoided each other, but one night we just started talking and it went from there."

Marlene nodded, but didn't say anything else the rest on the way back to the castle, she wasn't sure how she felt about the new friendship. Sure Lily could be friends with whoever she wanted, but James Potter?!

Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew, got off the train and looked to see if James was anywhere in sight. All they saw was a ton of students, that weren't James, heading back to the castle.

"He's probably sill asleep." Remus said, "This is James we're talking about, for him anytime before noon is too early."

Sirius rolling his eyes agreed, then up on a sneaky smile, "I think we should go wake, dear Prongs up."

Peter looked at the look shared between Sirius and Lupin, but was lost so decided not to say anything.

The three marauders headed back to the castle, on there way in they saw Lily and Marlene, "Hey Evans." Sirius said cheerfully, "McKinnon." He said not so cheerfully.

"Hey Sirius." Lily replied with an unusual cheerfulness.

"Black." Marlene replied shortly and the two girls continued their way into the castle.

Up in the boys dorm James Potter was still asleep when the boy walked in.

"Aww, he looks so peaceful..." Sirius said and pretended to wipe away a fake tear, then said, "It be a shame to wake him up..."

Sirius walked over to the side of James's bed, "OI! Prongs wake up!" he yelled.

James jumped and fell off the bed, landing on the floor.

"Hey!" he said jumping up.

"It's good to see you too Prongs." Sirius grinned.

James rolled his eyes, but he couldn't stay mad at them. With in minutes they started talking about what they did.

"It's all taken care of." Sirius said.

"Really?" James asked, "Do they know?"

"They will the second I walk out the door and say, 'so long!'" Sirius said.

James saw that Sirius smile, but the look in his eyes said that he was a little sad about leaving. Not because he would miss him parents, because he wouldn't. If he missed anything it would be his little brother Regulus Black, but it was too late from him. They thought at least.

After a moment of silence, James decided to change the subject and told them about how him and Lily actually got along during Holidays.

All three boys looked at him speechless, Sirius was the first to break the silence, "Lily, Lily Evans. The same Lily Evans that couldn't stand to be in the same room as you, the same girl who you've fancied for the past 5 years."

He nodded, "The very same."

The boy exchanged a look again, but just went with it. They were glad for James.

Over that next two weeks, word had gotten around that James Potter and Lily Evans actually got along. It was a big surprise to many people, especially to one Severus Snape. He most of all couldn't believe it until he saw them actually having a conversation, smiling and not going at each others throats. He believed it and he didn't like it one bit. Sure him and Lily haven't talked since that day out by the lake, but that didn't mean he still didn't care for her, and truth be told he was jealous of Potter, though he would never admit it. So he did the last thing that he probably would ever think to do.

One day Severus saw Sirius and Marlene going at it. No one ever realized it because, Lily and James made it known that they hated each other. But Marlene and Sirius were always going at it. Walking over to them Sirius turned to face Severus.

"What do you want Snape?" He asked shortly.

Marlene didn't speak, but she did glare at him. Besides James and Lily, these two hated him almost as much. This wasn't going to be easy.

"I need to talk to you both. It's about Lily and Potter."

Note: Dun Dun Dunnnnnnnn...

Sorry I couldn't resist, but there you have it, things are about to get messy and mistakes will be made...
