Chapter 1

"Hey Evans!" shouted James as he spotted her on platform 9 3/4. "How was your summer?"

"Get lost," Replied Lily.

They were getting on the train to go to Hogwarts for their 7th year. The only thing bad about Hogwarts was James, according to Lily.

According to James, Lily was the best thing about Hogwarts. He loved the way her beautiful orange hair sparkled when she turned away from him. He also loved the way her face would turn the colour of her hair when she was angry at him.

"So do you wanna-" James started but before he could finish Lily ran off into the crowd of students and up to Sirius.

"She knows she can't resist me" said James to himself.

"Hey Sirius how was your summer?" asked Lily batting her eyelashes.

"Don't let James see you doing that!" warned Sirius. "Anyway, it was quite like all summers, spent the whole time reading my mail."

"Oooo! Did you get my letter?"

"Um…yeah…All 1256 of them" He smiled

"Oops." She said quietly as her face turned beet red.

"Hey Lily!"

Lily turned to see her two best friends Siobhan and Dallis waving from their compartment.

"Hurry up! We saved you a seat!" Dallis yelled.

"And James and Sirius" added Siobhan.

Lily stepped into the compartment while Sirius went off to find James.

"Where's Sirius? I thought he was with you." Dallis asked

"He went to find James….and why do you care?"

"Oh….um..No reason " Dallis stammered and she felt her cheeks go warm and quickly changed the subject. "Siobhan, do you still like James?"

"Well….Kinda…"

"You know you have no chance with him, why don't you just give up?" asked Dallis.

"What's with you and James anyway?" asked Lily to Siobhan, "he's really annoying, and arrogant and-"

"I know, I know but he's hot!" cut Siobhan.

"Awww" Dallis Cooed

At this Siobhan went bright red just as James entered the compartment followed by Sirius.

"Who's hot?" inquired James.

"What do you mean?' asked Siobhan innocently.

"I just thought I heard …oh never mind" said James.

"So Siobhan, trying out for quiddich this year?" asked Sirius

"Probably chaser"

"Did you know that James is the captain this year," he asked.

"Really? Nice James! Good job!"

At this moment Remus Lupin entered the compartment "Hey guys. Can I sit in here?"

"Yeah sure. " Dallis said and moved over a bit so Remus could have some room.

"I heard you're the new head boy, so who's head girl?" asked Siobhan.

"Ohh just that Lai girl from ravenclaw, you know the smart one."

"Rebecca? Yeah she's kinda nice." Added Dallis.

"Really? I heard she got caught snogging that Ravenclaw prefect….what's-his-name….Byron Daniels?

"Ewww really? Daniels?" Siobhan asked.

"Yep."

They spent the rest of the trip talking about their classes and what the new first years would be like.

"I sure hope they aren't as snotty as last year."

"Man some of those kids. I just wanted to…WHAM!" Dallis imitated punching one of them to a rain of laughter from her friends.

"Wow. I think you've gotten more violent over the summer." Sirius laughed.

Dallis just smiled.

The hours passed by and the five friends were shocked to discover that they only had a few minutes left until the train would start to slow down. Dallis, Siobhan and Lily shoved the guys out of the compartment while they quickly got changed into their school robes. And try as he might James couldn't see around the curtain that was in front of the tiny window on the door to get a glimpse of lily changing.

Finally the train slowed down in front of the glowing school.

"Wow." Dallis Whispered. "This is going to be the last time we get to pull into this station as students."

"yeah…" Lily replied with a sad look on her face.

The five friends sat in silence for a few seconds until Sirius looked around at them all and stated.

"I don't know about you but I'm hungry so lets hurry up!"

"To our new students, welcome! To our older students, welcome back!" Dumbledore's powerful voice rang out over the sea of students sitting at the tables, including the newly sorted first years who all looked like they wanted to disappear into thin air. One first year sitting beside Sirius stared at the headmaster with his mouth almost touching the floor and his eyes as wide as watermelons.

"Is it just me or do these first years get smaller every year?" Sirius whispered to his friends while examining the first year beside him.

Instantly, the first year whipped around and his eyes grew even wider as he stared at the five 7th years sitting beside him.

"Sirius!" Lily hissed at him. Then she turned to the terrified first year and smiled.

"I'm just saying!" Sirius replied defensively.

The feast was amazing as usual and everyone ended up eating more then they should have.

The night ended with the Hogwarts song before all the students slowly made there way up to their dormitories with the usual sound of the prefects directing the first years up the flights of moving staircases.

Finally, after saying good night to the girls, James, Sirius and Remus made there way up into their dormitories.

Sirius dashed up the stairs and flopped down onto his favorite bed.

"Ahhhh." Sirius sighed. "There is nothing I love more then laying on my comfortable bed after a great feast."

Ever since the first year, Sirius had been telling James about how wonderful and comfortable his bed was. James didn't show it, but it was driving him insane.

"That bed can't be any more comfortable then any of the other ones, can it?" James asked himself for the millionth time.

Sirius just smirked.
