"Sirius." Sixteen-year-old James Potter whispered, giving his friend a poke in the side.

"Hmmm?" Sirius looked up from the deck of wizarding cards he was shuffling, making Morgana wince as he hit her in the face with Baba Yaga.

"Who's that?" he asked, pointing to the pretty redhead who had just walked into the empty compartment across
from their's. She sat down flashing them a sweet smile and peering into a tick book in her lap, entitled "Magnificent Muggles and How They Came To Be."

"Don't you recognise her?" Sirius whispered back, smiling. "That's Lily Evans."

"You mean fat Lily? That's fat Lily?!" James cried quietly.

"Yeah." Sirius replied, looking at the back of a Merlin card. "She looks different, doesn't she?"

James nodded.

"She looks beautiful." he whispered.

Indeed she was. Over the summer, she had shed weight that had been her torment since she found out about
wizard sweets. Her bright red hair had dulled to a rich auburn and her eyes seemed larger, sparkling merrily.

"Then tell her so, go for it!" His friend encouraged as Reamus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, two of their other
companions, came stumbling into their compartment.

"Something wrong, Wormtail?" Sirius asked, seeing the boy's face paler then usual.

"N-nothing." Peter replied, emptying his pockets and splitting the sweets they had gotten from the tray between
himself and Reamus.

"We had a bit of a run-on with Serverus." Reamus explained.

"Worried ole Sapey's chasin' ya down?" Sirius said, enjoying the chance toget a laugh at their arch-enemy.

"Chase me down?" Peter gulped. "He c-couldn't o that."

"Couldn't I?" Serverus Snape swept into the room, thick eyebrows raised.

"Serverus." James said as he rose to his feet.

"Hello, Potter." Serverus sneered. "Peter and I were just talking about you."

"He said you weren't half the wi-" Peter was cut off by Serverus reaching for his wand.

"What's between you and me, Serverus, is between you and me, not you and Peter." James scorned.

"Testy, are we, Potter?" Serverus cackled.

"Would you all just stop?!"

Serverus turned around to see Lily Evans standing in the small hall that separated their compartments. Her hands
were on her hips.

"Who do you think you are?" Serverus scoffed.

"Don't you remember me, Serverus? I was the one who got the highest score on the Potions exam, oly one point
higher than you." She explained, crossing her arms.

"Fat Lily? You're Fat Lily?!?!" Serverus said as he threw backhis head and laughed. "Good Lord, you're stick thin!"

Lily's eyes narrowed. "I'll see you later, I have to find myself some fresh air." And with that, he walked off,
laughing loudly.

"Don't pay any mind to him." Reamus said wisely. "He's got a stick up his butt."

Lily smiled.

"Why don't you come and sit with us?" James offered, Sirius smiled.

"Thank you...that would be nice." She got her book and then settled into their compartment.
