Apparating Texts-

It fell from the sky. No correction, it appeared above us and fell. It couldn't possibly has fallen for the sky, mainly due to the fact that we were sitting in our cosy little common room, planning our pranks for the upcoming term and not lounging outside by the Black Lake thinking of ways to get our dear Lily Evans to love our unspoken leader. Most people wouldn't dream of plotting while surrounded by fellow students, especially as sitting to my right was the infamous James Harold Potter with his newly acquired Head Boy badge pinned to his robes. We however were permitted as we; James, Remus, Peter (wherever he was) and myself were Gryffindor royalty. We were The Marauders.

Despite this we still could not comprehend how a book could materialise from thin air. "Bloody Hell" James yelled as it fell on his untameable black hair. This yelling got us some unwanted attention from Lily and her gang, well I say gang but I don't really mean it. More like a group of girls who were extremely smart and beautiful; they, like us are a group of four, including Alice Stevens (girlfriend of Frank Longbottom who is a year older, and is now training to be an Auror,) Cassandra 'Cassie' Vincent (my future wife if I had anything to do with it,) Fate Oliver (who in my opinion is a complete nutter, because she believes in nargles and the Crumple-Horned Snorkack, the girls however disagree because they think she's just quirky) and finally the glorious Lily Evans, who like James, is the unspoken leader of the group. She's also Head Girl and has been the love of James' life since about third year, and although they are getting closer he still had a long way to go before she would willingly call him her boyfriend.

"Stop making such a racket James!" Lily said rather loudly while walking to the sofas in front of the fire that we were sitting on. The fact that she now called him 'James' was one of the reasons that we know that they are almost friends, as they both used to call each other by their surnames. "Goodness only knows why Dumbledore choose you as Head Boy." James however was too busy rubbing the spot on his head where the hardback book had struck, so like any brother I spoke on his behalf,

"My dear Lily flower, I too wonder why my stupid friend here was made Head boy," If looks could kill I would be dead on the floor as both Lily and James were giving me a look of death; Lily because I'd called her 'Lily flower' and James because I'd called him stupid. "but I know why you were, because you're a straight O student, so with that in mind would you, or one of your followers, care to explain how a book can appear out of thin air." For a moment Lily just looked at each of us, as did Fate, Cassie and Alice their expressions filled with confusion as to how I could have created such an 'unlikely' story.

"Sirius what are you talking about?" Cassie asked. She no longer appeared to be confused, but instead was on the verge of bursting out with laughter.

"He isn't joking Cas, it hit me on the head."

"Well maybe it was to knock some sense into you" Cassie retorted. "Remus, what happened?" As James and I had found out over the years, Remus was the only one of us that any of the girls would even think of trusting. Probably because he too was a star student, who did his homework and studied for exams, little do they know that he has a furry little secret of his own.

"They aren't lying Cassie. It literally did just appear from no were and fall on James." And with that he picked the book up from the floor and handed it to Lily.

"Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone? I've never heard of it. Potter? Is he a famous relative of yours?" She asked looking at Prongs. He had never mentioned a Harry to me before, and so he shook his head.

"The Philosophers Stone…" Fate whispered. Here we go… I thought.

"What is it Fate? Do you know what it is?" Alice asked her. Although all of them were friends with Fate, Alice trusted Fate's little theories more than Cassie and Lily did.

"It's legendary… and has astonishing powers. It can to great things, like turn any metal into pure gold. The stone is also an ingredient used when producing the Elixir of Life; it makes the drinker immortal." Fate said.

"No Fate that's impossible…" Cassie started to say but both Lily and Moony interrupted her.

"I've read about it" They both said at the exact same time. Nerds.

"Maybe we should read it…" Alice said. I was thinking the exact same thing and that's saying something because I don't like reading. Just as she spoke a sheet of parchment, like the book, appears above us, it however floated down. Prongs picked it up and read it out loud,

"This novel, and the ones that follow, contain future events. Many of the people here are the people who will be effected. Read them now, change what is to come, and hopefully stop You Know Who before he rises for a second time.

Yours Sincerely, Hermione Weasley

Minister of Magic (2005)"

"2005?" I said looking at everyone.

"That's what is says…" Prongs answered.

"I really think that we should read it. If it wasn't important, why would she send it back" Remus said. Everyone agreed.

"So who wants to read first?" I asked.

AN- So that's the first chapter, if you liked it please feel free to review, I would love to hear if you like it and I'm open to constructive criticism just please no hate.

Just in case you missed my explanations here is the characters again...

James Potter- hopefully you know that one. (Note: I know that in a lot of fan fiction Lily and James get together in sixth year but I wanted to show them getting closer, like when things happen in the book that they are reading and lily getting upset and James comforting her etc)

Sirius Black- narrator. I know that normally in fan fictions Sirius is often portrayed as quite stupid, and although I will keep the prankster side of his teenage character, I want to show that he is intelligent so hopefully that works out.

Remus Lupin- again hopefully you know him

Lily Evans

Alice Stevens- Obviously I mentioned her boyfriend Frank, meaning she is Neville's mum

Fate Oliver- I tried to make references to Luna but I get why you might be confused, but I couldn't find out what Luna's mothers name was just like I couldn't find out Neville's mothers maiden name, so both of those I created myself

Cassandra 'Cassie' Vincent- My Own Character. Sirius' love interest and I will either find I way to show her dying in the future (because she obviously isn't in the novel) or will eventually get her with a different character, who will then get married and have a child the same age as Harry but I haven't decided yet

But yeah... thanks for reading, hopefully you enjoyed it, and please review :)
