Chapter 1- Letter

Lily looked up from her Charms homework at all the other occupants left in the Gryffindor common room.

It was already ten o'clock and an hour past lights-out time.

Luckily McGonagall had caught some sort of fever and couldn't come up to inspect the common room that night. To her surprise, Lily noticed that there were very little people left in the common room. Perhaps news of McGonagall's illness hadn't spread as vastly as she suspected. To her even more surprise, Lily realised that all the people left were all sixth years she knew.

There was her best-friend, Marlene McKinnon, who was too busy reading a Quidditch magazine that she didn't realise that she was seated with her shoulder touching that of Sirius Black's.

He and James Potter, the arrogant toerag, were in a deeply concentrated game of Wizards Chess and Lily wasn't surprised at all. It was one of the few things apart from Quidditch, Transfiguration, Exploding Snap, pranking someone or asking her out that James Potter ever focused on. Ever since last year's incident with Severus, he had astonishingly restrained from asking her out to Hogsmede. It had been soo long since he had last asked her out that Lily almost missed it. Almost. Lily would never on her own accord miss Potter's voice or attention.

On the sofa opposite Lily, she saw Remus Lupin's eyes skimming through a Potions book.

Unlike the other Marauders, Lily actually liked him quite a bit. He was quiet, sensible and didn't go around annoying her or bullying her best friend. Old best friend, Lily had to remind herself after the little slip-up.

Lily looked for Peter Pettigrew, the boy who always tagged along with the Marauders but couldn't find him anywhere. Maybe he had gone off to sleep, she guessed, after all, Peter was known quite a lot for falling asleep in class.

Letting out a big sigh, Lily turned her head to the ceiling to allow her neck some relief from looking down at her homework for soo long.

Suddenly she was hit in the belly with something sharp and let out a yelp as she felt the pain.

All the heads in the room looked up at her questioningly. Lily's eyes scanned all of theirs before she stood up with the book that had hit her in her left hand.

"Who the hell threw this at me?!", she asked angrily as she began to feel her temper rising.

"Shhhhhhh!", Marlene whispered loudly praying that her friend hadn't woken anyone up.

"No one threw anything, Lily", James replied.

"Yeah, we were all minding our own business", Sirius said in an annoyed tone.

Lily's eyes widened as she speculated how he could have thrown the book.

"His telling the truth Lily, we were all minding our own business, I swear", Remus jumped into his friend's aid when he saw his fellow prefect beginning to suspect Sirius.

"Then how on Earth do any of you explain this?", she asked in a threatening voice that clearly stated that she was didn't wat to be messed with.

Everyone looked at the book she was holding up.

No one spoke a word, they all stared wide-eyed and open mouthed at the book she was holding.

James took his glasses off before wiping them and readjusting them onto his face. Sirius kept blinking while Remus just stared and Marlene looked at the book as though expecting it to pop open.

"What?", Lily asked, hoping that she didn't have something on her face or that her skirt had somehow fallen off.

"Have you read the title?", Marlene asked quietly.

Lily shook her hand and brought the book in front of her, holding it before her face.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone the title read.

"Potter, please tell me this isn't another one of your jokes", Lily asked.

"I don't pull jokes this bad, also there isn't anyone named Harry Potter in our family", James replied.

Lily wanted to find some fault in James's answer but couldn't.

"Join Harry Potter and his friends as they explore the forbidden forest, battle three-headed dogs and lose enormous amounts of house points in their first year at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry", Lily read the blurb in a loud and clear voice.

"Well he sure sounds like Potter", Lily concluded.

"So, you believe that we battle three-headed dogs on our spare time, eh Lily?", Sirius asked with a mischievous grin.

"Shut up will you", Lily responded.

"I think what Lily meant was that the blurb sounded quiet big-headed like James here", Remus said.

"Guys, please arguing U can't take it anymore, can we just read it?", Marlene asked.

"You can, I'm not about to read anything about Potter", Lily said heading the book to Marlene and sitting back down.

Marlene shook her head before taking it from Lily and turning to the first page and pulling out a piece of paper and began to read out loud like it was completely normal.

"Well, I'll read first", Sirius volunteered as Marlene handed him the book and they all sat back down in their respective seats.

"Ahem, Chapter 1, The Boy who Lived …
