(A/N: Ok for those of you who actually responded to my announcement thank you. I have decided with the help of PottersLittleSister, HGHPlove4ever15, 08BeautifulDreamer09, andGin M. Weasley to make longer chapters, because short chapters are just boring, and tedious to read. Now that that has been covered on with the story. theme music plays)

Boys room, Lily's house (Remus moved in with James and Sirius because he got lonely sometimes, without his best mates to talk to at night.)

alarm rings in back round. (8:30 AM)

The three Marauders groaned loudly. Remus who was closest to the alarm clock, threw it against the wall so hard it shattered into thousands of pieces, so now they had no alarm.

Two hours later……

Lily and the girls were downstairs eating a well deserved breakfast, after some cough all cough last minute packing for about two hours. (Besides Lily.)

"Where are those boys? Shouldn't they be down here by now? Are they still packing!? We have to leave in like ten minutes!" Fretted Mrs. Evans.

"I don't know mum. Here we're finished we'll go check on them." Lauren said politely. Since Lauren's parents treated her so badly, she thought as Mrs. Evans as here own mum, seeing as she was always at the Evans' anyways during holidays.

"Ok thanks Lauren. You're a doll."

"No really, it's nothing. Ok come on now, we have to go get the boys, and get our trunks." Lauren exclaimed.

"Coming… Coming, jeez, hold your hippogriffs." Morgan said crankily. She still wasn't awake even though they woke up about two and a half hours ago.

The girls skipped up the stairs, and into the boy's room. Lily smiled mischievously at the sight of the sleeping boys. She whispered her plan into the girls ears, and now they all had grins on their faces.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK" All the girls shrieked, the loudest, and highest pitched shriek they have ever done.

"AAHHH!" All of the boys yelled in return.

"Bloody hell women!" Exclaimed Remus, who was not one to curse lightly, while rubbing his eyes sleepily.

"Yeah what the hell was that about?" James yelled.

"I was getting my beauty sleep. I need at LEAST 10 hours of sleep each night." Sirius said flustered.

"SSSPPPIII… SSSPPPPIIIDDD…." The girls stuttered.

"Spit it out!" Sirius exclaimed, still mad about his lack of beauty sleep.

"SPIDER!!" They all screamed.

The boys were deathly afraid of spiders, after one night in the forest. They were doing detention with Hagrid, and accidentally wandered into an Acromantula lair. So ever since at the smallest mention of a spider they all freak out.

"Eeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkk" They all shrieked, like the girls. They rapidly started lifting up their legs off the ground, pulling their sheets up, and burrowing themselves under the blankets, with a fearful look daring to cross their practically fearless features.

The girls couldn't stand it anymore, they burst out laughing holding onto each other for support. Their knees gave out and they were left literally rolling on the floor laughing. Once they saw the boys fearful look turn to one that suggested they were crazy, a fresh wave of giggles washed over them.

"What is so funny!" Remus demanded.

"The look……." Alice choked,

"…your faces.." Lauren added.

"…practically.." Lily attempted to say through her laughter.

"..priceless.." finished Morgan.

"So there was no spider??" James asked with the relief showing in his eyes.

"No James, there is no spider." Morgan said calmly.

"Phew, because we hate spiders." Sirius said matter-of-factly

"Really!!" Lily exclaimed with wide-eyes.

"Yeah. I mean one time with saw Acromantulas in the forest!" Sirius exclaimed hands flailing everywhere, so the girls could imagine how huge they were.

"I can't believe it. I mean I thought I was crazy in third year, you came running in the common room with crazed expressions on your faces. You claimed that you had seen them in the forest. I thought it was a dream." Morgan said sarcastically, with a smirk on her face.

Sirius missing the sarcasm responded, "No it wasn't a dream it was real." while nodding his head.

"Ok sorry to interrupt your little chat here, but were leaving in like five minutes." Alice said coolly.

"FIVE MINUTES!!" The boys shouted.

"Well you guys are packed right?" Lily asked fearfully.

"No we were going to do it this morning!" James said looking around the room seeing a pair of boxer conveniently laying over a lamp.

"Well I'm packed." Remus drawled with an air of common sense dripping from his voice.

"Yeah, and that's all fine and swell for you Moony, but me and Prongs here haven't even started!" Sirius fretted.

"Why don't you just use a packing charm?" Lily asked like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Packing charm?! Packing charm?" Morgan shrieked.

"You woke me up at 8 flippin' thirty in the morning to pack, when I could have done a packing charm!!" Morgan shrieked again.

"Well I thought it would be…… amusing, to see you guys all pack and stumble over your things, while I watched."

"Lily just show us the damn charm! We're going to miss the train!" Sirius shouted.

"Ok, ok keep your knickers on Sirius." Lily said irritated, rolling her eyes at his tactlessness.

"Packus rombilious." Lily said shortly.

"There happy now?"

"Yes very much so, thanks." Sirius said coolly, still upset that he was woken up.

"Ok, then we have four minutes, thanks to them." Alice said.

"Oh, and you guys might want to eat." Morgan said her hair slapping Sirius in the face as she turned on her heel, and left the room.

After four minutes of complete and utter chaos, everybody was set and ready to go. Everybody was down in the living room holding their trunks, bracing themselves to apparate to Kings Cross.

"Thanks Elizabeth and Michael for having us." Remus said politely.

"Yeah thanks Mr. and Mrs. E. We had a lot of fun." James and Sirius said groggily.

"Oh it was our pleasure." said Elizabeth waving her hand at them signaling it was nothing.

"By mum. See you at Easter!" Lauren and Lily said in unison.

"Ok dears, be good. Study hard, owl us often, and be safe." Mrs. Evans said while giving them each a hug and a kiss on the head, catching James twice.

"Ok bye!" They all chanted. With the distinct crack of apparation, they all disappeared from the Evans' house and arrived at Kings Cross with a minute to spare.

They all hastily lugged their trunks onto the scarlet steam engine. They went to the usual seventh year Gryffindor compartment, and dropped their stuff off.

"Ugh. Why does this compartment have to be at the BACK of the train. I mean it's the farthest form the front!" Alice complained.

"I know. So much walking! The Heads compartment is at the front to! I have to walk ALL the way back up there. AND I have a Slug Club meeting! This is NOT going to be a very good trip, I can tell already."

"Well come on Lily, don't want to be late for the prefects meeting." James said hurriedly.

"Wait. What are you talking about James? Your not a Head, or a prefect for that matter." A confused Morgan said.

"Well the badge on my chest states differently." James stated while pointing to his chest, and walked out of the room confidently. The rest of the compartment stood rooted to the spot, mouths agape until Remus, Alice and Lily chased after him, not wanting to be late for the meeting.

They ran until they got to the front of the train. When Remus open the door the meeting was in full swing. All of the prefects were listening to James attentively, until they saw Lily leaning on the door, clutching a stitch in her side, panting.

"Evans! Lupin! I see you've decided to join us." James said in a mock jovial manner.

"What's the mud-blood doing here?" Lucius Malfoy asked cruelly.

"I Malfoy," Lily said regaining her composure. "am Head Girl this year."

All the Slytherins groaned in protest, while James groaned in their direction.

"As if a blood traitor wasn't enough." Narcissa Malfoy grumbled.

"Detention Black!" Lily said radiating with authority, as she paced around the compartment.

"James, continue where you left off, please." Lily said calmly, sitting down in an empty seat in the process.

"Ok. Patrolling schedules.." he said clapping his hands together.

"Everyday from 9-10 two pairs will be patrolling the castle. Mondays: Gryffindor and Slytherin 7th year prefects. Alice and Remus you have floors four through seven, including the Astronomy Tower. Narcissa and Lucius you have the dungeons-the third floor. Tuesdays: Hufflepuff and Slytherin 5th year prefects. Wednesdays: Slytherin and Ravenclaw 6thyear prefects. Thursdays: Gryffindor and Ravenclaw 5th year prefects. Fridays: Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff 7th year prefects. Saturdays: Gryffindor and Hufflepuff 6th year prefects. Lily and Myself will be patrolling every night from 10-12, including Sundays. Anything to add Lily?" James said pacing the room as he did so.

"Erm, yes in fact I do. We will have a prefect meeting every Thursday at 7pm. Also you just need to patrol the train every once and a while, and you can leave. Meeting adjourned." Lily said standing up, getting ready to go to her Slug Club meeting.

Suddenly there was a huge BANG that shook the whole train.

"W-w-what was that?" A fifth year Gryffindor girl by the name of Katie asked.

"Death Eaters." Lily whispered.

"Ok everybody stay calm. Lily and I are going to go check it out. Go to the compartments and tell them there has been an attack, and to stay down." James ordered.

"Come one Lily."

James and Lily made their way to an empty compartment, and looked out the widow. There were hundreds of black cloaked figures standing in the passing field. They were shooting spells at the train like no tomorrow. The enchantments on the train were quickly fading.

"James.."

"Yeah Lily."

"I have an idea, but it is really stretching it. I think it might be our only chance against this many Death eaters though. We can't endanger all of the students soo…" Lily said shakily.

"Go for it Lil I know you can do it." James said encouragingly.

"I am going to put the Fidelius Charm on the train."

"Are you sure Lily? That is seriously advanced magic. Like Flitwick, is one of the only few people that can actually do the charm." James said unsurely.

"James it's our only chance of getting all of these kids to Hogwarts safely." Lily snapped.

"Ok try it. It takes a lot of magical ability so you might like faint." He said lamely.

"James. I'm doing the spell, they're almost through the boundaries! Break the window."

"What?" asked a bewildered James.

"Just do it!" Lily yelled exasperatedly. James broke the compartment window, and Lily stuck her willow wand out the hole, and said the incantation. Suddenly a blueish white dome enclosed the train. It burst, and a tiny piece of the light went into every single student's soul concealing it.

"James your secret keeper. Tell NOBODY except Dumbledore, and McGonagall. Got it?" she said faintly, right before everything went black and she fainted in James' arms.

Five minutes later she woke up, James holding her just like she fell.

"Hey thanks, for letting me… erm well pass out on your lap." she said jokingly, yet seriously.

"No problem. I suggest we tell the other students what happened."

"Sonorus" Lily muttered under her breath.

"Students! This is your Head Girl Lily Evans speaking! I have placed the Fidelius Charm on the train. We have a secret keeper that I would trust with my life." She looked meaningfully over at James, and smiled, then continued. "We are all safe at least until we get to Hogwarts anyways. For those of you who do not know. The Fidelius Charm is a piece of very advanced magic, that conceals one's should in the hands of a secret keeper. Should the Secret Keeper decide to release the secret, the person who they have released the secret to will be able to find, whoever's soul is concealed. So your safe, go back to what ever you were doing, and be on your guard." Lily finished.

"Lils I just want you to know that was really brave of you. Also thanks for saying you would trust me with you life. It means a lot. Oh and don't you have that meaning with Slughorn now?"

"h my gosh James, your right I've got to go." Standing on her tip-toes she gave him a lingering kiss on the cheek subconsciously.

James, felt the place on where Lily Evans the girl of his dreams', lips met with his bare skin burn. He gazed mesmerized at the girl walking away from him, with awe.

Briskly walking towards the compartment, in which the meeting was held Lily wasn't paying attention to her surroundings, and ran into something warm, hard, solid suspiciously like a person. Her and her victim both fell to the train floor with a thud.

"OH I am ssssoooo sorry!" Lily exclaimed concern flooding her face. Once she saw who it was she blushed deep red. It was Joshua Davies, the Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain. He was the fourth hottest guy in Hogwarts, next to Sirius, James, and Remus of course.

"Hey Lily." He said coolly, while standing up and regaining his composure.

"I'm so sorry for running into you like that. I-I-I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. Just so much to do, and term hasn't even officially started yet." Lily said exasperatedly, stress embedded in every word.

"Chill Lily. It's ok. It's as much as my fault as yours." Joshua apologized.

"You going to the Slug Club meeting." Joshua asked, eye-brows raised inquiringly.

"Yeah I was just on my way there." Lily said.

"May, I walk you there?" He asked flirtatiously.

"Of course kind gentleman." Lily said and took his awaiting arm.

"Hey Lily, what are you so stressed about? I mean like you said term hasn't even started yet."

"Oh well I'm Head Girl this year so I have Head responsibilities. Slughorn praising me every second, during the meeting, and classes. The attack! I mean that is the second time that has happened to me in two weeks! We got attacked at a club, by my house. Don't even get me started on NEWT's I'll go into lecture mode. All of the extra homework we're going to have, and this morning the Marauders just wouldn't wake up! We had like 10 minutes left to get ready before they woke up! Ugh." Lily said nervously putting a hand on her forehead.

"The Marauders stayed out your house this summer?" Josh asked curiously.

"Yeah only for like a week and a half though. Me and my muggle friends tried to teach them soccer." Lily said rolling her eyes.

"Soccer??"

"Muggle sport."

"Aaahh,"

"We're here." Lily said.

"Lily! Josh! My dear children. Come in, come in." Slughorn said overly jovial.

"Hello professor." Lily said sweetly, while Joshua scowled. You see Josh didn't like Slughorn that much, for unknown reasons. It could have been the fact that he won a Potions Master award over his father. That's just a guess though. Slughorn however seemed to think that Joshua would go far in life, as did his father.

Two hour and many finger sandwiches later they were free to go. By now it was dark out, and you could see Hogwarts in the distance. It had magical aura about it. (No pun intended) The stars sparkling in the crystal clear night above. From here Hogwarts looked like it was from a muggle fairytale.

As Lily made her way to her compartment, she heard a surprised shriek towards the end of the train. Knowing the possibilities she sprinted down to the corridor to find quite a scene emerging. Quickly she whipped out her want in a fluid movement, and cast a silencing charm, so her friends wouldn't attract unwanted attention.

"POTTER! BLACK! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!" Lauren shrieked. Lily turned the corner to find a fuming Lauren covered in Stinksap.

"We didn't do anything." James and Sirius whined innocently. Their tones were convincing enough, but the mischievous glints in their eyes ruined the otherwise perfect image. Oh and I forgot to mention the fact that their wands were poorly concealed behind their backs.

"Don't give me that Black!" Lauren bellowed, sounding very much like the Lestrange that she really was. (Lauren Lestrange is her name. I just didn't mention it in the beginning. Sorry about that. blushes)

"I don't know what your talking about Lestrange." James said sarcastically.

"POTTER! You know damn bloody well what I'm talking about!"

"Lauren!" Lily yelled, making her presence known.

"Lily! Thank god! Can you give these ID 10 T's a detention? Please?" Lauren pleaded. (ID 10 T Idiot for those of you who couldn't figure that out.)

"Well it was just an innocent prank Lauren, lighten up besides… Scourgify…your all clean now. No big deal." shrugged Lily.

"WHAT!!" Lauren shrieked shrilly. James, Sirius, and even Remus had triumphant smirks planted on their face, for the simple fact that Lily had never called their pranks 'innocent'. Normally it was more like idiotic, peccant, iniquitous, in short bad things.

"Lauren! Calm down! I cleaned it all off you, drop it." Lily said in a unusually harsh tone. The train came to an abrupt halt, and they arrived at the Hogsmeade station.

(AN: I know this is like a cliffy and I just really wanted to post, so here it is..)
