'Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third into ice, and sets a fourth in a flame: it wounds one, another it kills: like lightning it begins and ends in the same moment: it makes that fort yield at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it.

-Cervantes, Miguel de

LOVE OF A FRIEND

Chapter 1- Hidden Emotions

Serena frowned as she looked in the mirror to brush her hair; she hated mirrors for mirrors showed the outer beauty of a person instead of the person's Inner Light. The summer had seemed to drag out as she couldn't wait for this year to come, for this way her seventh and last year at Hogwarts and she was happy that she would be graduating. She slowly walked through the barrier to the station 9 3/4, and immediately was greeted by Lily Evans as her boyfriend James Potter walked up behind her followed b Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and Remus Lupin. Serena giggled slightly as Lily hugged her in greeting before releasing her and smiling, the next person to greet her was James who hugged her tightly. She looked over and was surprised when the very nervous and very shy Peter hugged her and she giggled as she kissed him gently on the forehead. After Peter moved aside blushing Remus moved forward and kissed her on the cheek and hugged her tightly to him, she smiled slightly for Remus had always been her protector and friend not to mention a shoulder to lean on. The only one she hadn't hugged or been hugged by was Sirius and she knew he probably wouldn't, no matter how much she silently wished he would.

"Well, well, well what do we have here?" Smirked non-other then Severus Snape.

"Well we have here myself, Sirius, Remus...." But Serena was cut off short.

"I know who you are," snapped Severus angrily.

"Then why'd you ask?" Questioned Serena smiling innocently.

Growling but knowing he'd been beaten he grumpily walked away.

"What Seve, no hug and kiss," called out Serena with a sly smirk on her face, the group burst out in laughter as they noticed Severus, who was just boarding the Hogwarts Express, growl but his cheeks were tinted pink.

Lily smiled at her best friend and said, "Sere, I think Snape has a crush on you."

"Oh, and who can resist my beauty and charm?" Asked Serena between giggles, but to Serena this was a double-edged blade. For in reality no one could resist her as she was actually a full-blooded Veela and her beauty was that of a goddess's.

"Oh, look who's flattering themselves" chuckled Remus.

"We better board the train you guys," suggested Lily between giggles.

The group of six friends boarded the train and Serena sat between Sirius and Peter while James sat between Lily and Remus. Serena looked over towards Sirius and knew she'd never understand him, he and herself were close and yet he'd never admit to anything and sighing she looked across from her at Lily who had fallen asleep leaning against James and then looking at the two that sat next to her, she laid her head on Peters shoulder and soon fell asleep.

Sirius had been watching her out of the corner f his eye and had seen her glance at Lily and James then at himself and finally she had laid her head on Peter's shoulder and fallen asleep. Sirius wished he could just swipe the boys head off his shoulder for though he'd never admit it Serena had won his heart during their time together at Hogwarts. He chuckled mentally at the thought, for she had won many hearts and most everyone held her in their heart in one way or another and she offered everyone her friendship, even Snape. She hadn't talk to him for two weeks after his prank with Snape and the Whomping Willow, that had been the first time in his life when he discovered that he loved her and couldn't stand not talking to her and couldn't stand arguing with her. He had told only James about these feeling and James had told him that she should know and perhaps she'd return the feelings. Sighing slightly he leaned his head against the window, this would be a long ride.
