Train Ride
Lily's POV
I stepped through the barrier as I waved goodbye to my mum and dad. I pushed my trolley to my usual compartment stopping for a few seconds to chat with some people. As soon as I got there, I noticed a black trunk with the initials P.M engraved in gold. On top of the trunk was a black kitten with a white belly sleeping in a basket. I stored my trunk above it and put my owl on top of it. Then I pulled my long curly auburn hair into a high side pony tail and pulled of my sunglasses. I stuck my bangs behind my ear and straightened my t-shirt and shorts. Then I walked out of the compartment and back on to the platform.
"Hey Lily," A soft voice said. I turned around and saw a boy with sandy brown hair and tired blue eyes with a scar across his cheek.
"Hey Remus," I replied
"How was your summer?"
"It was ok. How was yours?"
"It was-"
"LILY!" a voice screamed from behind me
I turned around and saw my best friend, Paige Masters, running towards me. She had very tan skin with black hair pulled into a side ponytail like mine except her hair was straight opposed to my curly pony. Her bangs were swept to the side on her forehead. Her dark chocolate eyes were lined with black eyeliner all around. She had on black shorts with an 'I heart Magic' t-shirt on.
She flashed her white teeth at me and gave me a hug. I grinned back at her and wrapped my arms around her. She pulled away and saw Remus and I saw her whole face light up.
"Remus, Hey"
She gave him a hug and he returned it happily. When he pulled back I could see his tiredness disappear. I smiled to myself.
Paige was in love with Remus and vice versa, but both of them would admit their feelings for each other. I wish they would. Paige has been in love with Remus since first year. She found out he was a werewolf and became an Animagus with me and our other best friend April in fourth year. I was a brown doe, Paige was a white wolf, and April was an amber fox. We accompanied Remus for a year before the Marauders managed to become Animagus then we stopped. Though we did go out every full moon to make sure Moony didn't escape and we did accompanied them a few times. James didn't like it very much.
Anyway back to Paige. She was the goofy carefree girl who always forgave. She got angry a little too easily. She hated waking up & sunshine for some reason. She was on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. She played Seeker and is pretty damn good. She loved sitting on the roof to think. She also loved reading and getting good grades but she gets her grades without much effort, which made me jealous. She loved pranks that's why she got along with the Marauders so easily. She is just a random girl and pretty much everyone loves her but when she gets hyper she can get on anyone's nerves. I love her anyways she's my best friend.
I liked 1/2 of the Marauders, only Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. Peter just creeped me out for some reason and James Potter is a pompous jerk.
Me on the other hand, I was pretty serious but not to serious that I was dead boring. I lost my temper more frequently than Paige. I loved to pull pranks as well and I am a bookworm. I've had a lot of boyfriends as well but when it gets serious I break it off. I've only had one serious relationship before and it was with Sirius Black. Most people might not believe it but he has a soft side and he's only revealed it to me, April, and Paige. We broke it off though but we are still best friends.
"Earth to Lily"
Paige's hand was waving in front of my face. I snapped back to reality. I notice our group got bigger. April Matthews, a girl with long straight chestnut brown hair with sparkling blue eyes, had joined us, as well as Sirius Black, he had long shaggy black hair and brilliant stormy gray eyes. James Potter, messy jet black hair with sparkling brown eyes that were hidden behind wire framed glasses, and Peter Pettigrew, pudgy little boy with brown hair and watery dull blue eyes, were there as well.
"Ah Lily Flower, I thought we lost you there for a second," Sirius said draping an arm around my shoulders.
"I'm not that easy to get rid of, darling," I replied back wrapping my arm around his waist and tickling him.
He let out a bark of a laugh and took his arm off of my shoulder. James was staring at us and it was sort of bugging me.
"So Lily Flower, the Marauders and myself were wondering if we could share a compartment with you lovely ladies," Sirius said winking at April.
"Hm, I'm not sure about you, Darling, but the rest are welcome," I said mischievously.
"Ouch, I am hurt!" He replied jokingly
"What? Are you guys dating or something?" James said sort of hurt.
"What gives you that idea Potter?" I replied
"You are just flirting a lot, Evans," He said glaring at me
"Oh shut up you guys, let's go," Paige said, helping April with her trunk.
"Let me ladies," Sirius said, winking at April.
"Thanks," April said blushing a little.
I grinned at April, I knew she liked Sirius but she's not exactly sure about him or not. I also knew that Sirius felt the same way as her and always showed off in her presence. This is going to be a train ride to remember.

The girls and the Marauders only just managed to get the trunks onto the train before it started to move. Of course they still had to store it all into one compartment. Paige and Lily help April with her trunk than Paige picked up her cat and let it curl up in her lap while Lily opted to get out a book and April started flipping through a magazine.
They made no effort to help the boys with their trunks though they did help by taking their owls. Remus being the only one to use his brain got out his wand and put his trunk up before the remaining ¾ of the Marauders could come in to see him use it. So they struggled while Remus sat down by Paige and they started talking.
"Don't you think we should tell them they are wizards?" Paige asked quietly
"Nah this is more funny." Remus replied with a grin
Paige playfully slapped Remus. He looked at her and grinned.
"Now now Miss Masters is that any way to treat a furry animal?"
"Yes." Paige said cheekily.
Remus started tickling her and Paige couldn't breathe. Slowly her face started turning red.
"Remus, I think you should let her breathe." Sirius said, plopping down by April. He lay down and put his head in April's lap. She rolled her eyes and pushed his head off of her lap. He sat up and watched James and Peter struggle with their trunks and grinned. Pulling out his wand, he muttered a spell under his breath and their trunks got bigger and heavier.
"Padfoot, put it back to normal," James said.
"Prongs, I can't believe you would believe I cast the spell. It was Moony over here that did that."
"Ah, but you see, Mr. Moony is busy flirting with Miss Masters, he can't possibly of done that."
"Fine you caught my lie, it was Lily Flower over here."
Lily didn't bother looking up and just made a hand gesture her mum would have scolded her for.
"Ouch, I'm hurt."
"Shut up!" April said taking out her wand and using a spell to put the trunks back to normal, then she flicked her wand again and the trunks put themselves up.
"Why didn't we think of that Prongs?" Peter said.
"Because its early in the morning." He replied
"It's 11 a.m., Potter." Lily said rolling her eyes.
"Exactly." James said plopping down by Lily as Peter took the seat next to him.
"So Remus, when's the wedding?" James said grinning.
"What wedding?" Remus said confused
"Yours and Miss Masters."
He decided to do what Lily did and gave him the finger. Paige was grinning.
"Actually James, it is next week and you aren't invited!"
"Ouch Paige."
She just stuck out her tongue and went back to talking to Remus.
"We need to get those two together." Lily whispered into James' ear, surprising James.
"How?"
"We'll think of something, but we'll need Sirius' and April's help."
"Hm, Okay."
"Hey how about we play a game of Truth or Dare." Sirius suggested.
"That game is so lame though Padfoot."
"So? At least it will pass time."
"Fine, I'm in," said Lily putting her book down. Everyone nodded slowly after her.
"I'll ask the first question. Lily, Truth or Dare."
"Truth."
"Who do you fancy right now?"
Lily blushed, "No one."
"LIAR."
"Fine," Lily lowered her voice considerable, "Frank Longbottom."
"Sorry didn't catch that." Sirius said grinning.
"FRANK LONGBOTTOM." She screamed as Frank walked through.
"Yes."
Lily blushed even harder, Paige burst out laughing, and James glared at him. Remus was looking at Paige laughing, April was trying to hold back her laughter, and Peter was looking at Sirius rolling on the floor with an amused look on his face.
"Um, I'll just come back another time," he said.
Sirius managed to get a grip on himself and sat back down, James looked down at his hands, April managed a straight face and Lily's cheek went back to normal. Peter was now watching Paige still laughing. She had tears down her face and Remus look bemused. Paige's laughing cracked up Sirius and April and they joined her laughing.
Finally Paige calmed down and was breathing pretty heavily while Remus wiped the tears from her face.
"Ok Lily's turn." Paige said
Lily grinned at Paige and said, "Paige, Truth or Dare."
"Truth."
Lily's grin turned evil. Paige gulped.
"Who do you fancy?"
April started cackling while Paige glared at Lily.
"Are we allowed to pass?"
"NO!" Everyone shouted. Remus' voice was the most prominent.
"Um," Paige said
"Who's um?" Sirius said. April slapped him.
"The person I like." Paige said grinning.
"Paige!" Lily said warningly
"Lily." Paige said grinning
"Fine don't answer."
"Thanks dear."
"You're not welcome."
"Let's go prank someone."
"No!" Lily said
"Why?"
"You know I hate being the first one to get points docked from."
"Fine."
So for the rest of the train ride, Lily read her book, James, Sirius, Peter, and April talked to each other and Paige and Remus were talking to each other.
"I think we should change." Lily said looking out of the window.
"Out boys." April said.
"Why?" Sirius asked innocently.
April sent a stinging hex at Sirius and he got up and left. Remus kissed Paige's cheek and left. James and Peter just got up and left without saying one word.

The train pulled into Hogsmeade Station. Paige, Lily, April, and Alice Prewett shared a carriage with the Marauder's and Frank Longbottom (much to Lily's dismay). Paige kept on looking at Frank and sniggering, James was glaring at him, and Frank was getting annoyed with Paige. Lily started poking Paige in the side to make her stop but that just made her laugh more.
"What is so funny?" Frank asked.
Lily just got out her wand and put a silencing charm on Paige.
"She was hit with a laughing jinx." Lily lied.
"Really Lily? I thought it was cause-" Sirius' mouth kept on moving but no words were coming out. He tried to yell but it didn't work so he just sat there and glared at Lily.
Frank and Alice looked at each other and shrugged.
The carriage jerked to a stop, flinging Lily against Frank. Paige, Sirius, April, and Peter cracked up (in Paige's and Sirius's case, silently), James glared at Frank, Alice shot Remus a confused look, and Remus just shrugged at Alice in an it's-sort-of-a-long-story way and looked at the scene bemused.
Everyone climbed out of the carriage. Paige and Sirius were still red from laughing and Lily was still blushing.
They got into The Great Hall just in time and sat down. The sorting went by fast and so did the feast. Before they knew it, the Marauders and the girls were tucked away in their four poster beds fast asleep.
Paige, April, Sirius, and Remus had smiles on their faces as they slept. James had a look of anger. Lily's had a look of embarrassment, and Peter's had a look of hunger.

"Albus, are you sure we should do this?" McGonagall asked.
"I've never been more sure in my life," Albus said his eyes twinkling, "Relax, Minnie! This'll be fun."
McGonagall looked at him with worry written all over her face.
"If you're sure then."
"I'll make the announcement tomorrow at breakfast."
