Chapter Starts

Summer has began. Petunia will now be getting in her fourth year while Lucius will be in his sixth year. Lily will now be entering in her 2nd year. Lily is already in top of her classes along with the marauders.

Severus is now informed of her mother's condition by his head of house Pr.Slughorn and is warned to be careful arround her. This frustates him as he is now isolated from his own family and even his two friends which are his real friends are now separated from him due to rivalry in houses. Though Lily and Petunia say that they will always be his friends.

Petunia has already written to Lucius twice. The two are now a couple apparently but since no one has asked the one out they are not official.

Lily always wonders that how the four boys in her house who call themselves Marauders are always on top despite being the ones who always get in trouble and usually spend their time in detention or pranking others.

Marauders have now grown very close. Although they were a bit suspicious of how Remus manages to get home or better that how Remus's relative get to manage in some serious condition and Remus gets leave four a few days every month. Is it that simple ?

Lily's POV:

Summers are boring. Tunney is busy in her homework and I have already finished as mine was much less. Next week we will be going to Diagon alley.

Today we are gonna go to Diagon alley. As we approached the leaky cauldron , I found Severus over there with Pr.Slughorn. " Hi Sev ! " I exclaimed. He waved his hand . " I thought you will be coming here next week.' " Oh yeah but my mum will be busy this month so Pr.Slughorn kindly consented to escort me here." As he finished Pr. Slughorn glanced at Sev once but then nodded in agreement. I found Sev's behaviour a bit strange. I thought he is hiding something from me but Tunney didn't mind much. Does she know something which I don't. But yes she is hiding at least something. Why the two of my favorites are hiding stuff from me.

Tunney and Dad were purchasing new robes from Madam Malkin's shop as she needs new one this year. Her height has increased significantly. I found Marlene my friend and dorm mate from Hogwarts. So we found ourselves in Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour for an ice cream treat. Then I found the students I can barely tolerate. The marauders or so they called themselves. However, they say this name was given by Pr. Mcgonagall. There is one with long black hairs , very mischievous named Sirius Black. He belongs to one of the most ancient pureblood family. His whole family is in Slytherin but he ended up in Gryffindor. Then there is a Raven haired boy which are mess by the way named James Potter who is also pureblood and is an arrogant toe rag!! Then there is a boy who usually acts like of leave their group he can't survive named Peter Pettigrew. At last there is a shaby looking boy named Remus Lupin. Something is off about him. He is mysterious. Although he is the most tolerable one , and the only of them whom I found actually studying. He is nice always try to stop them from bulling innocent ones but not try very hard as he too believes that if he try that , he will loose his friends. I and Remus are friends since he is the only one of them whom I can talk actually.

Narrator's POV:

They came in where I was sitting. " Hello Flower girl" spoke James in a teasing voice. " What is it Potter ? " Lily snapped without even turning back to see who has spoken to her. " Looks like someone is angry James " said Sirius in teasing voice. They all laughed while James blushed a little. " Spit it out what do you want! " said Lily directly seeing into his eyes. " All I want is you Lily come out with me " said James in much serious voice with a grin in his face. " How come you ever thought that I will be with someone like you " said Lily and turned her back walking away making Marlene realise that she should follow her. James was still seeing lily.' I will marry her.' muttered James. " I don't think so " said Remus.
