I solemnly swear that I am up to no good...

Hi Fellow Marauders! This is my first story. I would really appreciate reviews, good or bad! I am always looking to improve!

Lily Evans waited outside McGonagall's office, tapping her foot, impatiently. After what seemed like forver, James Potter and his fellow Marauders strolled down the corridors quite oblivious to the fact that Lily was fuming. "Hurry up, Potter," snapped Lily. "You're over 10 minutes late for patrol. I had to cover for you when McGonagall asked where you were."
"It's not like anyone's going to be doing anything naughty right now anyway," said James, before adding gratefully, "but thanks for covering for me."
"Let's go, we have to be at the Astronomy tower- NOW!"
James bid a quick farewell to his friends, who skipped back merrily tothe common room, singing 'Potter and evans, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G...' loudly.
Lily rolled her eyes. "Merlin... I can't believe Dumbledore made YOU Head Boy. He could have at least put someone like Remus as Head Boy."
James whined. "Am I not as good as Moony? He's a Marauder too!"
"Yes, but he's more sensible, not as much of a prat, and easier to study with."
"Our NEWT's aren't until June."
"Already?! We don't have much time."
"Evans... it's February."
"Precisely."
They walked over the moonlit battlements of Hogwarts castle and entered the Astronomy tower. James looked at the waxing moon, with a worried expression. "Almost time..."
"What's that, Potter?" Lily whipped her head round, staring at James with her shockingly green eyes.
James returned his usual grin. "Nothing, Evans."
Lily glared at him suspiciously, before spinning back around, and marched on into the classroom in front of them and yelled. "Hurry up, Potter. Merlin, if you were any slower you'd be walking backwards."
James rolled his eyes and followed casually. "You're too serious, Evans. You need to let your hair down."
"You're too laid back. You need to knuckle down and work."
James thought for a second, and then said with a mischeivous grin, "Maybe you could help me."
"What?"
"Help me study."
"I can't, I study with Remus."
"You can study with more than one person!"
Lily looked at him, irritated. "But if I tried to study with you and Remus, then all you'd do would muck about."
James looked at her with pleading eyes, almost as if he were a toddler wishing for sweets. "That's not mucking about! That's... extensive research into the art of Maraudery." He smiled innocently. "Please let me study with you?"
Lily sighed. "FINE, Potter. But if you get us kicked out of the library, I will permanently Petrify you and smother you with your own Invisibility Cloak. I'm on a good roll with Madam Pince."
"How do you know about my cloak?"
"Partly because you are so irritatingly loud, and, besides- it doesn't cover you properly anymore. You're really tall."
"Is being tall a good thing?
"Well... I suppose so."
James smiled and muttered "Get in..." under his breath. He looked up and said, "I promise you I won't get you kicked out of the library. Maybe we won't even have to go to the library."
Lily looked at him warily. "What do you mean?"
James winked. "You'll see."
Lily sighed, and wondered what sort of hell she had let herself in for.

Thanks for reading! Before I go... Please review! And if you like it, favourite or follow it. But you have to review first. It is rather annoying when people favourite but don't review. Goodbye!

Mischief managed...
