When All is Said and Done

An average height 17-year-old girl leaned against a pillar in a train station, opposite a long, red train. She had long auburn hair and amazingly emerald eyes. She was looking in to the crowd with an air of looking for someone. Then, she gasped and shouted

"Mary! Over here!" A tall girl came running over. Mary MacDonald had long black hair and hazel eyes.

"Lily Jade Evans, I have missed you so much!" Mary cried. "And, look who the cat, aka me, dragged in!"

"Alice!" Lily shrieked. A petite dirty-blond haired girl with big blue eyes had emerged from the steam around Mary and Lily.

"That's right; Alice Taylor has arrived!" Alice said pompously, before she collapsed in giggles with her best friends.

"And she brought her boyfriend with her," a voice said from behind Alice. Frank Longbottom was right behind Alice, as usual. They were all catching up on each other's summers when a musical voice called out-

"Hey, Lily, Mary, Alice!"

"Kylie!" the girls shrieked, and ran to greet the last member of their group. An average height blonde, with purplish-blue eyes, Kylie Adair was an Irish girl, come to Scotland for Hogwarts.

"What about me, huh?" Frank pouted. As he was around Alice so much, he was practically a member of their group and therefore wanted the proper greeting too.

"Yeah, hi, Frank!" Kylie ran to give her friend a hug, too. They soon resumed catching up with each other.

Not too far away, while Lily was finding Mary, Alice and Kylie, two boys stood waiting for their friends. One had unruly jet-black hair and sparkling hazel eyes behind round glasses. The other had dark black hair, chocolate brown eyes and an air of rugged handsomeness. They were peering into the mist when one gave a shout of welcome and, pulling the other, ran towards a boy. This boy had sandy blond hair, and while he looked slightly unhealthy, his face broke into a joyous smile when he saw his two friends.

"Remus! Ready for the start of term feast?" Sirius said as they caught up with Remus.

"Why, what are we doing to the poor unsuspecting Hogwarts souls this year?" The sandy-haired boy looked worried.

"We'll tell you on the train." Sirius looked at his friend mischievously. Any chance of Remus continuing the conversation, however, was drowned out by a shout of "Wormtail, over here!" from James. A small, mousy haired boy, watered eyed boy had come to join them, and the circle of Marauders was complete.
