Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. I know this used to be a title for another story that I have started. But that fell through. I have now deemed myself as "Mary Sue" free. I don't think I will created another Mary Sue unless it's that...A Mary Sue that doesn't get involved with other main characters. Well, this is my first shot of a Lily/James story.
§§§§§§§§§§§§
A young girl, about seventeen, stood on Platform 9 ¾ at King's Cross in London. She was petite in size, only standing at 5'1", her straight auburn red hair fell to her waist, her electric green eyes were searching the crowd for something or someone, and her toned sun kissed body had curves in all the right places. She wore a mint green a-line dress that went down to her knees and had a decorative pink satin ribbon tied around her waist with the bow to her left side. She had slipped on a pair of white dressy sandals and wore very little makeup.
She bent down and picked up her trunk. She began to drag her trunk towards the train. She boarded with heir trunk and her cat, Crookshanks. After finding an empty compartment, she sat down, reached in her pocket, and took out the shiny silver badge. The letters seemed to shine miraculously in the little sunlight that was provided. The redhead read the words for the millionth time, Head Girl. It was something that she had worked hard for the past six years.
A few minutes later, the whistle blew and three boys walked in the compartment. They were all extremely tall compared to her small stature, but all amazingly different.
"Why hello Miss Lily Evans," the tall boy with messy dark hair and glasses greeted the girl.
"Potter," Lily responded with a curt nod of the head.
"What? No running to great your fellow Head? How rude. And to think you were the brightest witch," Potter answered.
"Leave her alone James," the tall boy with wavy sandy hair said, as he put his hand on his friend's shoulder.
"Oh, come on Remus. Can't you tell that these two need to be alone?" the other boy answered. His black hair was past his shoulders.
"It's great to see you two, too. Where's Peter? I thought you four were staying at Godric's Hallow this summer?" Lily asked as she petted Crookshanks absentmindedly.
"He canceled on us," James stated, sitting next to Lily.
"Like always," Sirius added. He and Remus took seats across of the other two.
"Only because his mother told him should stay home this time," Remus acknowledged.
"But last summer he did the same thing," James said.
"With the same excuse," Sirius added. Remus and Lily rolled their eyes.
"I just asked where he was, not the whole story," Lily said.
"He's not here, yet," Remus answered. "If he is, we haven't seen him at all."
"Well, he better be on the train. The whistle just blew. Do you really think he would miss he last year at Hogwarts?" Lily asked.
"It would be a miracle if he made it through is last year at Hogwarts," Sirius smirked.
"Now Sirius, do you think Peter would fail?" Lily protested.
"Evans, you and I both know that Peter ain't the best at anything," Sirius answered.
"I know that, but still, he won't just not show up," Lily said. Crookshanks stretched out on Lily's lap and jumped down. He walked over to James and rubbed up against him.
"Arg," James muttered and moved his leg to push the ginger cat away. "Damn cat. Lily, why did you even buy that thing?"
"James, Crooks isn't a thing. He's a noble pet and he's a sweetheart, isn't that right Crookshanks," Lily said in a singsong voice. She picked up the cat and set him on her lap again. Crookshanks purred slightly when her hand scratched behind his ears. "Besides James, he likes you. And that says something."
"Yeah. That someone actually likes James," Sirius said laughing. "Too bad it has to Lily's cat."
"Shut up Padfoot. At least the I don't attract fleas," James shot back, as he scratched Crookshanks back.
"That was low. Really low," Sirius said, smile gone.
Lily smiled. Six years ago she would have just rolled her eyes and walked out of the compartment. She couldn't believe that she would have been a friend with these boys. Well, with Sirius and James anyway. Remus was much like her, but to himself. She could understand that. If she had to go through what he had to go through every month, she might just be as shy and forlorn as him. But she began to like them. Something about them bending the rules appealed to her. Maybe that's why she began to like James the year before.
She couldn't stand him from her first year to her fifth, but after the Halloween Feast her sixth year, her feelings changed. Now the two were in each other's pocket, but not in the way Sirius thought the saying meant. They still acted the way they did before they were together, but they both thought it was great. She found herself attracted more towards James when they pretended to loathe each other and visa versa.
"Earth to Lily," James said, waving his hand in front of her face. Lily blinked from being interrupted by her thoughts and smiled at her boyfriend. "We need to get to the Prefect meeting," he said.
"Oh yeah. How could I have forgot?" Lily said, handing Crookshanks to Remus. "Better be off then." James grabbed her hand and led her out of the compartment.
When the door slammed Sirius smiled broaden. "Just think Moony, they will be sharing a common room and all."
"Like to see how that works," Remus smiled.
A/N: Wow looks like the plot and whole story line changed.
