Lily Evans, head girl, was strolling along the beautiful winter landscape of Hogwarts, when no other than James Potter came strutting around the corner of the historic school. Lily scrunched her nose in detest, as she saw he wasn't alone. The 'Marauders' or so they called themselves were just behind their ring leader.

It was the day they got off for Christmas in their final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Marauders stayed at school except for Peter Pettigrew, who wanted to go home to see his ill mother, because it was coming up to the next full moon and they weren't going to go home and let the werewolf suffer on his own! Nope they where going to join him in there animagus forms. As for Lily, she didn't want to go home to her sister calling her a freak anytime they where in the same room as each other

James' face lit up as he saw the woman he had loved since that first a on the Hogwarts express.

"Lily!" James exclaimed, his arrogant smirk made an appearance as he said her name "What are you doing, wandering around the castle at this time of night?"

The other Marauders all had different reactions to James way of talking to Lily this time: Remus Lupin rolled his eyes at the illegal stags behaviour, Sirius Black sniggered at his closes friend and waited for Lily's hot head to get the better of her.

"Potter it is none of your bisness! And I would appreciate it if you would move out of my way!" Lily said trying very hard not to raise her voice.

"Aww, come on Evans! I'm just being concerned." James said just a little bit put of that Lily was being her usual self towards him. After all, this year so far he had been trying to show her he was not the arrogant bullying toerag, she thought he was.

"Well, Potter you don't have any right-" lily was suddenly cut off by a bright white light. They all covered their eyes, protecting them from harm. When the light was gone, they opened their eyes to see they were in a room very alike the Gryffindor common room.

"What the fu-"Sirius was about to say but was cut off by Lily shouting "Black!" in his direction.

"Lily, come on, you can't say your not wandering why were here!" the animagus said with a hint of amusement in his voice.

"Yes I am, but that's no reason to swear!" Sirius just chuckled in response.

When they looked around the room, Remus found 7 books hidden behind one of the sofas. He picked the first one up and read loud "Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone." His eyebrows drew in confusion.

"PRONGS! This bloody looks like you mate!" Sirius laughed, "Is he one of your relatives?"

"Nope, can't be, I don't know a Harry Potter." James replied, looking at the books cover thinking what his friend pointed out.

"Could I see it for a minute?" Lily asked taking it out of Remus' hand as he nodded. She looked at the back of the book and her eyes nearly popped out of her head as she said "This book was released on 26 June 1997!"

"No way! I bet it's your kid from the future Jamie!" Sirius barked out in a laugh.

"It can't be. What would my future son be in these books?" James asked, in wonder.

Lily looked thoughtful for a moment.

"I think we should read them, obviously its important otherwise we wouldn't be here." She said after a minute of silence.

"Whoop! Yes, I can't wait till I hear about my godson! Sirius exclaimed with excitement.

"Godson? How do you know its going to be you?" James replied, trying to hide his amusement.

"ehh hello I'm your best mate, if you haven't noticed." He snorted.

"no, Remus is!" the stag said, trying to pull himself together and Sirius' jaw dropped in horror then turned to sit on one of the sofas.

"ahh! Stop messing around and let read this book!" Lily said covering up the fact she was amused by the two boys bickering.

James and Remus both chuckled as they sat down on the spare seat that was not taken by the other two.

"Shall I read first?" the wolf boy asked.

They all agreed and he began…

"The boy who lived."
