Lily had to admire the band of friends that stood up for each other. While she had always viewed them as a bunch of immature boys, they really pulled together when it came to something they believed it. She watched as Sirius stood up with James, showing a very intimate part of his life with the rest of the common room. Her eyes grew wide as the whispers grew louder around her. If anyone knew of the dangers of the pureblood society, Sirius seemed to know first hand.
Her eyes followed Remus as he was the next to stand with his friends. It was probably then that her mind started to turn towards their group that they wished to form. She had always sensed that Sirius and James were quick to make rash decisions, but Remus always seemed to think things through before jumping at chances. The ideas and logic behind it did make sense...
Peter seemed to sneak in from nowhere, but he stood with his friends as well. Lily was impressed to see him make his way towards them. He had always seemed the more timid of the group and she was happy to see he would be apart of the group too. She looked around the common room at the other students. Some were exchanging looks, whispering in groups. Others were turning back to their activities or homework and only a few seemed to be taking them seriously.
Lily closed her book and stood up, walking over to where the Marauders stood. "Count me in," she said, glancing at all of them, her eyes lingering on James. She had seen the way he kept looking at her during his speech and she quickly looked away as someone handed the quill to her. She bent over to scratch her name on the parchment.
"So when is the first meeting?" she asked, her eyes going back to James.
