6 The Way Things Used to Be
"This is so amazing!" said Lily Evans as she twisted her red hair between her fingers. Her bright green eyes starred at the Hogwarts Express.
Arabella Figg couldn't help but laugh at her Muggle-Born friend. Bella was tall with reddish-brown hair put in a braided ponytail and grayish-blue eyes. "I know it is Lily, just like it has been for the last month."
"Shut up." Lily and Bella had been best friends since they were six. Bella was a half-blood and had only admitted to being a witch a month ago when both she and Lily had gotten their Hogwarts letters. Bella had spent the last month tell Lily every detail about magic.
Both of their parents had been so happy the girls were going to Hogwarts (Lily's parents had spent just as long learning about magic). Bella's sisters Ophelia and Janine were extremely happy for the girls. Janine was 9- years-old. Ophelia was 14-years-old. She never had any magic experiences and was a Squib. The 14-years-old Petunia Evans, who had always loved her sister deeply, had shunned her for the last month. No one thought she would ever get over the fact that her sister was a witch and she wasn't.
"Let's get on the train so we can get an compartment," said Bella. The girls dragged their trunks and the animal caged they each had (Lily had a owl named Daisy and Bella had a cat named Diana) on to the train into the nearest compartment.
"Can you believe that in a few short hours we'll be Hogwarts students?" Lily cried in excitement.
"Lily, if that is the only thing you are going to talk about for the next few hours I think I want some new friends."
"You know we should make new friends," said Lily. "We still have half an hour 'till the train leaves, how about we go outside and talk to some people. It's always good to make new friends."
"I wonder if any of my old friends are going to Hogwarts this year. I used to have two friends, Frank and Remus, when I was little and as far as we knew we were all going to Hogwarts the same year."
The two 1st years walked outside, they brought Daisy and Diana with them since they didn't trust them only with anyone. Parents were saying tearful good-byes to their children and students were meeting up with their school friends. Lily didn't look where she was going and accidentally walked right into girl who looked a little older then them. She had light brown hair and gray eyes. Daisy's cage fell to the ground.
"I'm so sorry!" said the girl as she picked up the cage and handed it to Lily.
"No it was my fault," said Lily. "I wasn't looking where I was going."
The girl looked back and forth between Lily and Bella. "Wait a minute, are you Arabella Figg?"
"Yeah," said Bella. "Wait… Audray? Audray Lupin! I haven't seen you for over 2 years!"
"I know! It's been forever. Wow, your taller then Remus now." She looked at Lily. "And this must be the famous Lily Evans I've heard so much about!"
"Lily, this is Audray Lupin. She's a 4th year; our families were friends. She was one of Ophelia best friends until – "
"I got excepted and she started to hate me," said Audray.
"She doesn't hate you! She was just mad she was a Squib."
"Anyway I have to get on the train. Remus and Frank should be around here somewhere." She scanned the crowd. "Oh, there they are. Well, bye Bella. And it was nice to finally meet you Lily. Bye." Audray left and went on the train.
"Which ones are Remus and Frank?" asked Lily.
"You'll see. Remy! Frankie! Did you two really think you could find from me all this time?" Bella yelled across the platform. Unfortunately Bella didn't yell loud enough for everyone to turn and look like she wanted.
On the other side of the platform Frank and Remus were having their own discussion.
"Let's see it's 10:42," said Remus Lupin looking at his watch. "That means you owe me 5 Gallons."
"Evil Remus, your pure evil," said Frank Longbottom as he handed Remus the money. "I was only 3 minutes off."
Remus and Frank had been friends most of their lives. Their parents had been friends and so were they. Remus had light brown hair and gray eyes and he also had an older sister named Audray in her 4th year. Frank on the other hand had dark brown hair and hazel eyes and had a younger sister named Gwen who was 9-years-old. They had also known Bella for most of their lives too. Even thought she was usually the object of their pranks and bets she was still their friend. Earlier this morning they made a bet guessing what time Bella would first see them.
They saw Bella and her friend (who they could only guess was Lily Evans) walked over to them.
"Ha! I'm taller then you Remus!" said Bella.
"Nice to see you to Bella," Remus said sarcastically.
"And Frank… you're still taller then me. That's just not fair! I'm older then you at least. Oh, and this is my friend Li – "
"Lily Evans," they said in unison.
"Do you ever talk about anything else besides me Bella?" asked Lily with a smile.
"Please Tanya!" James Potter begged. "One little prank!"
"Yeah," agreed his best friend Sirius Black. "One little prank never hurt anyone. Plus what are we going to do until the train leaves in half and hour?"
"No pranks."
"Please!"
"No!"
"Please!"
"No!"
"Please!"
"No!"
"Please!"
"Okay."
"Really?"
"No!"
"Please!"
"No!"
"Please!"
"I said no and I mean it now shut up!"
There was a short pause. "Please!"
Tanya Black slammed shut her book and looked out the compartment's window. She knew perfectly well that one little prank played by her twin brother and friend could hurt a lot of people. Well, not really hurt more then mentally damage.
"If I go against your elders words and let you do one tiny, little prank before we get to school will you promise not to do anything bad to me today?" Tanya asked. Her long black hair fell to her waist was put in pigtails and her chocolate brown eyes were usually hid behind a book. The only thing she didn't like about how she looked was the fact that she looked like her twin. Same colored hair and same colored eyes. Only Sirius was much taller. James, who had been their friends since they were babies, looked a lot like them too. Same jet black hair, only blue eyes.
"Oh, we won't do anything to you," said James with a smile.
"Yes oh-so-wonderful sister," said Sirius. "We'll wait until tomorrow to bother you."
Sirius and James ran out of the compartment before Tanya could say another word.
"I don't know what I'm going to do with them," sighed Tanya.
"I say we turn someone's pet another color," said Sirius as him and James walked out of the train.
"Sure, the next person we see." James looked around. "Who would just happen to be that little cutie over there." James pointed to a girl walk with bright red hair standing right out side the train holding an owl's cage with another girl standing next to her.
"That hair is so irresistible. I say we turn her hair a few different colors."
"May I do the honors?"
"Go right ahead," said Sirius. James pulled out his wand and muttered something under his breath. A second later the girl's hair was blue and pink.
"Oh my God, Lily!" yelled her friend. "Your hair!"
The girl, who was obviously named Lily, looked at a strand of her hair and screamed. Immediately everyone on the platform looked at her and started laughing (the students laughed anyway while parents gave them disapproving looks).
"James Potter!" Tanya's voice came from behind them. "That wasn't little! I can't believe you did that! Sirius Black why did you tell him to do that!"
Lily pushed past James and Sirius and went back into the train. Her friend quickly followed her (not noticing that she had forgotten her kitten). James and Sirius continued to laugh.
"That was one of the worse things you've ever done James," said Tanya. "You didn't even know that girl."
"Loosen up, Tan," said Sirius. Tanya punched her brother in the stomach and went in the train to find Lily and apologize.
Cecile Pettigrew didn't laugh when she saw the girl's hair change colors. However she did laugh when she saw another girl punch the other boy in the stomach.
"Stop laughing Peter!" she yelled at her brother. "That wasn't funny!"
"Cecile, you don't think anything is funny," said Peter.
The two of them were in one of the train compartments with their heads out the window watching the scene that had just happened.
Cecilia and Peter Pettigrew were sister and brother. They were only born 11 months apart, which meant they had to be in the same year in Hogwarts. Cecile had curly blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Peter also had blondish colored hair and blue eyes.
Cecile looked over and saw that the boys were going back on the train with some other kids following them.
"We should let them sit with us," said Peter. "I would like to be friends with people like them who like jokes and have a sense of humor. Unlike you."
"And I would like it if our mother stopped having kids after Trey," said Cecile. The compartment door opened and a little cat wandered in. it's collar said "Diana" and on the back their was a picture of the girl from outside with the cat. Peter heard people talking loudly outside the door. He opened it and found James and Sirius standing their talking to two other boys. (A.N. – I really don't want to go into descriptions again so I'll just tell you now that they are Frank and Remus)
"I think you can look forward to Lily doing something back to you," said Remus.
"Her friend Bella has been telling us about her for years and we know that she loved to get revenge on people," said Frank.
"I'm not scared of that little girl," said James. "She can't do anything to me."
"Excuse me," said Cecile. "Put personally I think what you did to that girl was horrible."
"No one asked your opinion," said Sirius. "I mean it's really none of your business."
"I wasn't any of your business to turn that girls hair an other color on her first day of school when you don't even know her."
Sirius stood up and went next to Cecile. "Are you going to do something about that?" Cecile punched Sirius in the stomach and left.
"Oww! Why do all girls have to do that to me?! It was James who did it!"
"Sorry about her," said Peter. "She does that to, well… everyone. She's a bit mental."
"This day was supposed to be amazing!" Lily yelled in anger. "Now everyone is going to remember me as the 'Lily who's hair changes colors'!"
Bella pulled out her wand and muttered a spell that turned Lily's hair back. "It'll be okay Lil."
There was a knock at the door, in opened a second later and a girl walked in.
"I'm Tanya Black," she said. "I am so sorry for what happened to you. James and Sirius do that to everyone. They can't help it."
"It's not your fault Tanya," said Lily. "You don't have to apologize, he should. What did you say his name is?"
"James Potter. I've known him my whole life. The other boy is Sirius Black, my twin brother. Are you both first years?"
"Yeah," said Bella. "You are too, right?"
"Yeah." There was another knock on the door and another girl walked in.
"Hi," she said, "I'm Cecile Pettigrew. I think that was horrible what that boy did to you. I think you forgot this on the platform." She put Diana in Bella's arms.
"I can't believe I forgot you Diana. I'm so sorry."
"She reminded me of my old cat Middy. I was going to bring her to Hogwarts until my brother Peter let her out and she ran away."
"I know just what you mean," said Tanya. "My brother Sirius does things like that to me too."
"When I got my letter last month my sister stopped talking to me," said Lily. "I thought that would be the worse thing that every happened to me. But I was wrong, this is!"
"Once my brother Ethan turned my hair purple and I stayed like that for two months," said Cecile.
"How many brothers do you have?" asked Bella. "All I have is two sisters."
"Three, but none of them are really my brothers. Ethan is 10 years older then me, Trey 9 years, and Peter 11 months. We're in the same year."
"Well, my parents raise me, Sirius, and James and my 9-year-old brother Astin," said Tanya. "James parents and brother were killed last year." No one said anything for a few moments.
"Sorry, I just really don't know what to say after someone you just met says that to you," said Bella, which caused the other girls to laugh.
The compartment door slide open again and James walked in. The girls could see Sirius, Frank, Remus, and Peter in the hall behind him.
"Listen Lily," said James. "It was just a joke. Don't hold a big grudge just because you didn't think it was funny."
Lily smiled sweetly at James, which surprised everyone. She then stood up and punched James in the stomach (much harder then Tanya and Cecile had punched Sirius). James fell to the ground in pain.
"Mark my words James Potter," said Lily. "I will have my revenge."
Those nine first years didn't know it then but they were going to be friends for the rest of their lives. Some would fall in love with each other and others would hold ever-lasting grudges. But one thing was for sure; they were stuck together for the rest of their short lives.

"Yeah." There was another knock on the door and another girl walked in.
"Hi," she said, "I'm Cecile Pettigrew. I think that was horrible what that boy did to you. I think you forgot this on the platform." She put Diana in Bella's arms.
