Loving James Potter

Chapter One: Love at First Sight
I, Lily Rose Evans, was very unusual. More unusual than my former school friends. I know what you're thinking, "She's only eleven years old! How can she say 'former school friends?". Well, the truth is, I'm not going to a normal school anymore. No, I am going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Yes, I'm a witch. Not the green-skinned, warty nosed kind, but the plain, magical one. Here I am, leaning on the ticket box between Platforms Nine and Ten at King's Cross Station. I am really supposed to be on the Hogwarts Express right now, but I've no idea how to get on. Okay, so enough about me, now let me think so I can find a way to get on Platform Nine and Three Quarters!
I sighed, thinking that if I didn't make the train to Hogwarts, I would have to go back to my house, back to my parents (though I love them, really, I wouldn't mind sending letters to them from the best magic school in Europe!), and back to my dreaded sister, Petunia. Then, I heard a noise from in front of me. Opening my eyes, I realized a boy about my age who was pushing a cart was going to crash right into me if I didn't move. I tried to get out of the way, but he somehow managed to get faster, his cart picking me up and, believe it or not, pushed me right through the wall. Shocked at first, I suddenly became aware of the train in front. The Hogwarts Express. Jumping off the cart and grabbing my own, I looked and regarded the boy who had just shown me the way to Hogwarts. He was tall, and had messy jet black hair, with stunning amber eyes. Hey, he's pretty cute, I thought.
"Hello." I said in a calm and collected voice.
"Hi. So, you're not mad at me for crashing into you?" He asked.
"No. I had no idea how to get on the platform and then you shoved me right on to it. I'm muggle-born you know." I learned 'muggle' and 'muggle-born' from some of the books we had to buy from Diagon Alley.
"You are? Oh, so that's why you couldn't get through. By the way, my name is James Potter." He bowed so formally that I laughed.
"Lily Evans." I said after recovering from the laughter. "Is this your first year at Hogwarts?"
"Yep. But I know a lot about it because my parents both went there."
"Oh." I thought for a moment and looked at my watch. It was 10:45 AM, and we were supposed to be on the train by 10:50 AM. "Well, I suppose I'll see you on the train!" I waved and jumped on the Hogwarts Express.
Finally, I found an empty compartment at the end of the train, stuffing my luggage and my pet snowy owl, Kawaii, into the back. Finally, I thought, I get to have some quiet time to read my book, The Snow Unicorn. Whistling sounds could be heard from the roof, and then the train started to move.
"Ahh.....now I can read!" I thought out loud.
After about 5 minutes, I heard footsteps out the door and tried to ignore them by continuing to read. But that was impossible. Somewhat frustrated at the loud noise, I stood up just as something crashed into me, knocking me down onto the floor. That something was a someone. James Potter.
"James! Get off me!" I said firmly to him.
"Whoops, sorry." James' face turned red as he realized he was on top of someone and got up.
"Hey James! What were ya doin' on the floor?" asked a voice."Ahh...but you are way to young to be charming the ladies, James. Gotta leave that kinda stuff to older guys like me."
"Sirius, get real. You're only about four hours older than me. Besides, I wasn't charming her, I fell on top of her." James replied stoutly.
"Fell on top of her...?" The guy named 'Sirius' paused, waiting for an answer.
"Yes, I came into this compartment, and you came running behind me, pushing me into Lily. That caused me to fall on top of her." James explained as though Sirius was a dimwit.
"Okay!" Sirius nodded. Then he noticed me and held out a hand. " Hi! I'm Sirius Black. Mastermind Prankster." He grinned childishly at me.
"Umm....hi. My name is Lily Evans." I looked at Sirius and made a brief examination. His eyes were brown and full of mischevious, matching his hair which was so dark a brown you'd think it were black from a small distance. But he was pretty handsome.
"Lily, do you mind if me and my three friends stayed in this compartment? All the others are full." James asked pointedly.
"Three others?" I asked back.
"Uh...yeah. There's Remus Lupin..." As if on cue, a light-brown haired, hazel-eyed boy came running in. "Err...that's Remus."
"Hello, young madame. Pleasure to meet you." Remus said as he kissed my hand.
"Hi. I'm Lily Evans and I think I've said my own name a lot, today." I said, blushing at Remus' manners.
"Don't need to be so formal, Rem. James here knows Lily, anyways." said Sirius.
"Just being polite, Sirius. Like you should be. Oh, wait. I'm talking to Sirius Black, the most impolite person on Earth." Remus shot at Sirius teasingly.
"Okay, stop it, guys. Where's Peter?" And just on cue like Remus, a short, chubby boy with a small plaster of brown hair and watery blue eyes came in, looking confused.
"Hey, Pete! Where've ya been?" demanded Sirius.
"Uhh...umm...ran into some trouble with a guy named Lucius Malfoy and a guy named Severus Snape...." Peter mumbled.
"Malfoy? Snape? They've been accepted? How could moronic idiots like them make it in to Hogwarts?" Said a confused Sirius.
"Well, we don't know and we want to know, right? So anyways, Remus, Sirius, and Peter are my three friends. Know enough, Lily?" Said James as he stood up and looked at my glowing green eyes.
Tossing my aubourn hair, I replied, "Sure James. You, Sirius, Remus, and Peter are welcome to stay in my humble compartment. Now bow to the superior, a.k.a. , me." I giggled as they actually did, and then I sat down and continued reading my book.
"Aww....Lils? You are seriously going to try and read when us, Marauders, are in the same room as you?" James implied.
"Why, are you troublemakers, pranksters, or desperate guys who believe there's nothing to live for except date girls and put spiders into people's pants?" I asked. All the 'Marauders' laughed and nodded.
"Lils, let's talk instead of 'read books'." Sirius suggested.
"Fine!" I set my book down and crossed my legs."Let's talk." I put on a mischevious smile."Truth or Dare."
"Truth or Dare? Okay. Who goes first?" James asked of the Marauders. They all pointed to Sirius.
"Okay, then. Dare."Sirius said.
"Dare? Hmm...I dare you to....ahh! I dare you....to.....to kiss my owl, Kawaii, on the beak." I laughed, as did all the Marauders.
"Fine." Sirius approached the owl, and gave it a quick peck, then sat down next to me. "There! I did it!" He said, blushing furiously as me and the Marauders got into huge fits of laughter. "Grr....time to get you back, Lily Evans! I challenge you to kiss Remus right on the mouth!" Sirius glared at me until I spoke.
"Kiss.....Remus?" But I want to kiss James, I thought.
"No! I've got an idea! Why don't you kiss James, instead, Lily?" Remus insisted. Sirius and Peter agreed.
"But...but..." I looked at James as I said those two words. You know you want to, Lily Rose Evans. Just kiss him, already! My mind shouted at me.
"Uhh...I guess it's unanimous(sp?), Lils." James reminded me.
Taking a deep breath, I kissed him. It was wonderful, he was a pretty good kisser in my opinion, but then again, it was my first kiss. I could hear cat-calling from Remus, Sirius, and Peter, but my head was focused on one thing. Finally we parted after a minute or so. I just looked into James' golden eyes, as he looked into my eyes.
"Uhh....was that your first kiss?" He asked.
"Yes, was it yours?"
James nodded."You're pretty good. Not that I would know...."
Sirius pretended to cry."Absolutely marvolous. So sweet! Like honey in the sunshine!"
James and I just eyed him with venom until he looked frightened. Then everyone but Sirius laughed. After about 20 minutes of laughing and playing a wizard game, Exploding Snap, I heard the train slowing down. We were there, already?
"Let's get off the train, guys. We've got a school to attend." I told the Marauders as soon as the train pulled into a complete stop.
Then me and the gang hopped off the Hogwarts Express, dragging our luggage behind us.
