ooo loved it!
I guess we know why James turned Snape upside down...

RandomRaven · 02-28-2012, 01:27 AM

nice chapter, Jess!!

Enigma · 02-28-2012, 10:46 AM

Nice chapter!!

I want more! PAMS

Jessiqua · 02-28-2012, 11:48 AM

it's nice making up the pieces

The only thing I'm having a conflict with at the moment is finishing it! I don't see it finishing for 10 years haha. I wanted to go through every year like I've been doing with the days, but that would take WAY too long, but there is so so much I want to do with it. So.... sorry if it's 10 years long

And thank you all so much for reading and commenting

We'll be the happiest if you do that!

And please develop it as much as you can! We readers will always love it!
Having a background story on James and Lily and Marauders would be awesome

~~Shame that I can't seem to think of such ideas!!~~

Jessiqua · 02-28-2012, 11:18 PM

that's what I think! It's so good writing it too

You could do it for like... Snape or something? All the 1971 characters don't really have a strong background developed, so really the keyboard is your oyster

Enigma · 02-28-2012, 11:56 PM

Yeah.. I was thinking along those lines...

Planning to write a fanfic ~~or at least attempt to write one!~~ on SS.. but only after 3-4 months!
Yeah because they all don't really have much of a background, creativity is the best friend!

narnia_potter · 02-29-2012, 04:06 AM

Oooooohhh!! Hahaha

So funny and really quite adorable! Loved it and can't wait for more.

Meeting Santa Clause: Chapter Five
Part One: Christmas Eve

24 December, 1971

"So why aren't you going home Evans?" James asked Lily. It had been a while since the incident with James and Severus, but since then Lily had been angry at James. He didn't know why.
She looked up at him and said "Because I don't want to see my sister," she said.
James frowned. "Why don't you want to see your sister for Christmas?"
Lily went red and her nostrils flared, "That really isn't your concern," she said, and went up to the girls dormitories.

"I don't get it!" He said to Sirius. "She still believes Snivellus that I was the one who hexed him!"
"Well stuff her," Sirius replied.
"But I want to be with her," James said, flopping next to him in the chair by the fire.
"So why aren't You going home, James?" Remus asked.
"Er... well mother and father are just getting a bit sick, and they thought I'd have a better Christmas with my friends," he replied, having known the other boys in his dorms would be staying behind. "Why are you staying home?" he asked the rest of them.
"Well my parents are travelling," Remus said.
"I would rather spend Christmas down the loo," Sirius said, seriously.
"I... um.. my p-parents want-ted me to-to stay with my f-f-friends," Peter said.
"Oh I know Alice is staying behind, and thought I'd get to know her a bit more," Frank replied, smiling brightly.

They all went down to see everyone else off on the Hogwarts Express before going to eat their lunch in the Great Hall. James, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Frank, Alice and Marlene sat along the Gryffindor table, with students from the other years. Lily, on the other hand, walked in and went to the Slytherin table, where Severus was sitting alone.
"Obviously none of the Slytherins are staying behind," Sirius said, elbowing James.
"What! I don't believe she is sitting over THERE!" James hissed, "That pratty prat Snivelling Snivelus," he ranted, making his house mates laugh.
James hardly ate anything for lunch, and went back to the common room alone. He sat down in front of the fire and closed his eyes.

"Potter?" a gentle voice asked. "Potter?"
Something was poking James, and his eyes snapped open. "Oh," he said, sitting up in the chair, running his hand thorough his hair, "Hi Evans."
"Look, I'm sorry about everything. Remus actually told me the story, and I confronted Severus. He said that you were being really rude and that he was actually the one to hex you," she said, turning red. "I'm sorry I was angry at you. I just want you to understand that Severus is my best friend. He... he called me his friend when my ow-own sister called me a f-frea-k," she said, with a breaking voice.
This was the first time James had heard anything about her sister, calling her a freak? He was outraged, and she was so upset. Now he understood that she didn't want to go home because she didn't want to be with someone who thought she was a freak. At least staying at Hogwarts, she could be around people who understood her. Nobody at Hogwarts thought she was a freak.
"Oh Lily, I'm sorry. I didn't know... What do your parents think?" he asked.
"They are very proud of me. But not 'Tunia," she said, sitting down next to him.
"Severus told me to stay away from you," he said, wondering if she could explain it.
"Oh did he? Well he shouldn't have," she said. "I never told him to say that! He was probably just being protective, that's it," she said.
James just looked into the fire. Seriously, how could she still be friends with a lying snivelling prat like him? "Will you go for a walk with me tomorrow night?" he asked, looking back at her.
"Christmas night?" she asked, frowning, "What about dinner?"
"After dinner. I have a special cloak, we can hide under to go to the grounds. I just, I want to get to know you more, without everyone around," James said.
Lily smiled and said "Sure, Potter, I'd like that," then turned to look into the fire as well.

Enigma · 03-08-2012, 11:01 AM

Yayy! New chapter

And yayy! again! Finally Lily and James are friends again for now at least

Hehe.. why do they call each other Potter and Evans? And not James and Lily?
PAMS!

Jessiqua · 03-08-2012, 08:29 PM

I'm not really sure, they called each other those names in the 5th book and I've just continued on with it

I think in my story it's like their own little thing they have because everyone else uses their first names

Luna_Midnight · 03-09-2012, 04:36 AM

Nice Chapter

Yay, they are friends

RandomRaven · 03-09-2012, 06:20 AM

Nice chapter Jess

PAMS!

Jessiqua · 03-09-2012, 07:25 AM

Thanks heaps

I'm pretty glad I wrote it that way. I just couldn't imagine Lily irrationally hating James though the entire time at Hogwarts until 7th year. So I'm sure there will be something happening within the next few years that will make her 'dislike' him

narnia_potter · 03-11-2012, 03:57 AM

Awwww! Cute!
Absolutely adorable... the two are pretty cute together.
Glad they worked it out and I can't wait to see how she reacts to the cloak

Meeting Santa Clause: Chapter Five
Part Two: Night Time

24-25 December, 1971

The Christmas Feast was incredible! All the Professors were sitting at one long table, which felt good. There was no Professor Student separation, but they were all equals on Christmas. There were Eight Gryffindor Students, Three Hufflepuff students, and Four Ravenclaw students, and much to the Marauder's disgust, only one Snivelling Slytherin student. The food was delicious, and there was so much of it. The Marauders stuffed as much as they could into their mouths, having a suspicion that as soon as they blinked the Elves would take all their food away. Well, they weren't going to let that happen! As soon as a spot came free in their mouths, they would stuff it full again.

"Bunch of pigs," Marlene said to Alice, and they laughed. Even the Professors were finding the humour in it.
But all the boys could do was smile, and eat more.
And then dessert came.
"Mr. Potter and Mr. Black, do you have much room left?" Dumbledore said with a chuckle.
The boys rubbed their bellies and looked at each other. Well, they weren't about to have Feast without trying everything. By the end of the feast, they were so full and uncomfortable that it felt like their belly buttons would pop out. They all made their way back up to the common room. All but Lily.

"Where's your girlfriend?" Sirius asked.
"She's not my girlfriend yet, and... she's probably with Snivellus," James said in a revolted tone, then followed it up by pretending to be sick.
"Fudge Tree," they said, and they climbed into the tower.
"Oh, I'm so full," James said, lying down on the floor by the fire.
"Me too, move over," Sirius said, kicking his legs out of the way.

What seemed like a few hours later, James woke up. He was being poked. "Gerrof!" he mumbled, then turned over. It was hard. He opened his eyes and saw the fire in front of him, which scared him.
"Have a good nap?" Lily asked, laughing quietly.
"Err... yes, where is everyone?" he asked. Last he remembered, Sirius was right there next to him.
"They have all gone to bed, they tried waking you but you just kept thrashing around."
"Oh... what's the time?"
"Just after 2 in the morning," Lily said, "Are we still going for a walk?"
"Er.. yes, let me just get my cloak," he said, and ran up the stairs. Being careful not to wake anyone, he retrieved his cloak, changed his socks, and put on some warmer clothes. When he went back down, he saw Lily was all ready standing by the portrait, ready to open it.
"No, don't open it until we're in the cloak," James said.
"Why?"
"Because if the Fat Lady sees us, she could tell Filch. And then we would be in trouble."
Lily laughed, "You? Scared about getting into trouble? I thought you were brave," she said.
"I am not scared about getting into trouble, I just don't want YOU to get in trouble. And besides, Sirius and I swear we saw chains and whips in Filch's cupboard once," he said, shuddering. He had the distinct feeling Filch showed them 'accidentally' just to scare them.
Lily had a look of disgust on her face, "What? For chaining people up?"
"I assume so, he didn't say anything. Pretended he didn't notice us seeing them."
Lily shrugged and opened the door, running out.

"Lily?" James whispered, throwing the cloak over himself. What was she doing? he ran off after her, trying to find her, at the same time as keeping himself hidden. "Lily?" he whispered, then stopped dead. She was squatting down in front of him patting a cat. OH NO! "LILY! Get away, that's Mrs. Norris, Filch's cat, come here!"
"Well, well, well... look at this," James heard. His heart sank. It was Filch. Lily was going to be in trouble.

Ooo yay! loved it!

Meeting Santa Clause: Chapter Five
Part Three: Getting Away?

24-25 December, 1971

James watched through his cloak. It was awful! Lily was looking around, scared. Was she looking for him or was she looking to see where Filch was? Had she even had the misfortune of meeting him before? All that James knew was that he couldn't let Filch see him otherwise he would probably be expelled. He tried to step closer to Lily but heard an unbelievably unpleasant screech from Mrs. Norris.

"Oh hell," he muttered quietly. He looked up in terror, hoping nobody had heard him, but it didn't appear as though they had. He was watching Lily pant in fear.

"Well who do we have here?" James heard. It was his most disliked voice on EARTH!
"I..." Lily stuttered, but couldn't get the words out. Her mouth was open and moving as if she were talking, but no words were coming out.
Oh no, thought James.
"Student out of bed!" Filch said, "Well well, it does look like Christmas my love," he drawled.
YUCK! James thought. Was he saying that about Lily or the Cat? Either way it was gross.
"Come with me, you, Oh yes we are in trouble," he said.
James couldn't keep looking at Lily's face. It was falling in horror and he was sure she was about to start crying. Wasn't that what all girls did?
Filch grabbed her around the wrist and pulled her off in the direction he knew so well as his office. James stood there staring after her for a while. He heard Filch asking who else was with her, but she kept saying "Nobody, nobody, I was alone," and James felt even worse. But.... if he DID jump out and tell Filch it was him, then Lily would get in trouble. He turned around and ran back up to the common room. When he entered the boys dormitories he woke Sirius up.
"Oi Potter, bugger off I'm getting my beauty sleep," Sirius said, whacking James on the shoulder.
"FILCH HAS LILY!" he yelled, loud enough to wake up the rest of the boys.
"WHAT? James how could you let him take her?" Remus said, getting out of bed. He put his slippers and gown on and paced. What to do?
Peter kept sleeping, the big sloth.

"What were you doing?" Frank asked, getting up to give James a mock punch.
"We were planning on going for a walk in the grounds! I was going to tell her what I thought of her but she didn't realise how many rules we were breaking. She just ran out of the common room without getting under the cloak. I think she thought she was being a rebel or something but Mrs. Norris was there, and then Lily started patting her," he said.
"SHE WHAT? Why didn't she kick it?" Sirius interrupted.
"And then Filch came and I didn't have time to sneak her under the cloak and run back up. I had to stand there and watch her lie to save me and... Oh, James heard the portrait door open and close. "Must be her," he said, and threw the invisibility cloak on his bed. He almost flew down the stairs.

Lily had been crying, that much was obvious. She was also holding a red piece of paper in her hand.
"Oh Lily I'm so sorry," James said, giving her a hug.
"Bugger off Potter, you didn't even try and save me!" Lily said, still sobbing.
"Lily if he had known I was there after you told him you were alone... well do you know how much trouble you would get? He knows he can give liars more punishment! I didn't want that to happen to you," he explained. He was being honest too.
"Potter I just don't think we can be friends. I need to be good, and you make me into a bad person."
"Oh come on Evans, I don't mean to. I did want us to have a fun day but... well you ran off!"
"I ran off because I wanted you to catch me, not because I wanted to be CAUGHT by Filch," she yelled.
"I'm sorry Lily, I just didn't have time to catch up with you, and... if I did take it off and show Filch I was there he would expel me. He told me if I got any more detentions I would get expelled!
"I don't care Potter, do whatever you like but DON'T involve me in it," she said, turned around and walked up to her bed.

"Sorry mate," Sirius said when he came back up to the boys dormitories and got into bed.
"Thanks.. it will all blow over he said," doubting it as soon as it exited his mouth.

potionsmaster22 · 05-07-2012, 07:48 PM

oh poor James

hopefully she will come around.
PAMS!!
~Sam~

Luna_Midnight · 05-08-2012, 02:57 AM

Oh poor James, but he could have done something...

loves Sirius and Frank's reactions!
and Lily's reaction, aw made my day!

Jessiqua · 05-08-2012, 03:05 AM

Hehe

Yeah he was a bit naughty! But it means he has a lot of growing up to do

narnia_potter · 05-10-2012, 02:34 AM

Awww, cute! Poor James. And poor Lily. I understand both sides... but I do think he should have stuck up for her. But, then again, he's an 11 or 12 year old boy... that much cannot be expected (even of an 18 year old boy

)
