Friends Forever maybe never

Chapter 1 - Meet Lily Evans

"Hey Lil!"

Sixteen year old Lily Evans, a pretty redhead with striking emerald green eyes turned around on platform 9 3/4 to see Lindsay Okabe for the first time in months.

"Hey, how was your summer?" Lily asked, "Where is Cassie?"

"Totally boring and right behind you."

Lily felt a tap on her shoulder and flipped around to be faced with none other than her other best friend Cassie Brinks. Cassie squealed as she grabbed Lily and Lindsay in a hug that cut off their ability to breathe.

"I missed you guys so much!"

"Umm, Cass we kind of need to breathe you know." Lily strained on the last of her breath.

"Oops. Sorry."

Lily pulled back from her friends since the first year at Hogwarts and looked closely at them.

Lindsay Okabe was a girl who was about 5'4 and had light brown hair that had grown to about her mid back. She had deep brown eyes and was a master on the quidditch pitch; she was one of the three chasers.

Cassie Brinks had shoulder length blonde hair and big blue eyes. Besides being the tallest in the group at 5'9, she was also the one to go to for fashion advice.

Lindsay felt someone come up behind her and put his arm around her shoulders. She looked up to see Sirius Black standing beside her. He looked down at her with a grin.

"Hey Sirius, how was your summer?" Lily asked.

"I have solved one of the mysteries of life!" Sirius stated proudly.

"What was that?" Cassie asked suspiciously.

"Why the sky is blue!"

"Oh." The three girls said in unison.

"Yo, Sirius what are you doing over here?" James Potter asked coming up behind the group with Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew.

Lily looked at the four guys; James Potter had untamable black hair, hazel eyes and wire rim glasses. He was seeker for the quidditch team, as well as quidditch captain to boot.

He was very tall as he was about 6'3.

Sirius Black had unruly black hair, grey eyes and was a beater on the Gryffindor quidditch team and was a little shorter then James.

Remus Lupin had short dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. He was almost 6 feet tall. He wasn't on the quidditch, he said it made you lose brain cells ,always flying that high and getting hit with stuff.

"Evans what are you doing here?" James asked in a mocking tone.

"I wouldn't be here if I knew you were going to be here James." Lily joked, "but contrary to what you think, I belong here because I don't belong anywhere else."

Seeing their friend about to go into a slight depression Lindsay and Cassie put their arms around her shoulders and Lindsay said "I thought you were over the death of your parents Lils."

"I thought I was too but they were my parents you know." Came the shaky response.

After some more small talk the group of seven students boarded the Hogwarts express.

About a week later while studying in the common room Lily heard a relatively load thud.

She exited the common room to go investigate. As she was leaning over the railing to see what made the noise, she saw something that made her scream.
