Disclaimer: Yeah… okay. J.K. Rowling would be writing stories about the books instead of writing the book.

This chapter is like the worst one I'll ever write. It's just an introduction to the story.

Lily looked out the window. She watched all of the magical parents waving to their magical children goodbye. She saw the sadness in the parent's eyes watching their children being sent off for a year at school. She wanted her parents to at least think of her while she was gone. Her parents probably were sad, not because they were going to miss her, but because six years ago she fought with her parents to go to a magical school when she found out that she was a witch.

Unwanted thoughts swarmed through Lily's mind. She remembered what a rough time her family was going through. The Potter's were stealing thousands of dollars from her father's business, and her father had to pay the loans, and all the other bills without enough money.
The picture of her parents crying in the kitchen entered her mind. She tried to push the memory out of her mind. She hated the Potters. Hated them for everything; for watching her father cry silently every night after dinner when he thought no one is watching. For confusing her seven year old sister with the troubles her family was going through. For… lately Lily had been blaming everything on the Potters. She would use their name to blame them on anything that went wrong. Which was everything.

"Everywhere else is full… do you mind if I…?" Her thoughts were interrupted by a fairly handsome boy. He had hazel eyes and ruffled brown hair. He had a slightly cleft chin.

"Yeah, sure." Lily replied as she scooted down in her seat for him to put his suitcase on the shelf on top of her seat. He sat across from her.

"Hi. I'm Lily." She stuck out her hand for him to shake.

"I'm James." She nodded.

"Are you new here?" Lily asked. He didn't look like anyone she knew for the past six years.

"Yeah. I'm a "transfer student"; I was born a wizard except I wanted to live the real world before I got too involved in this one." Lily was able to understand where he was coming from. "My parents were upset when they heard I rejected my letter." He continued.

"I was muggle born and my parents didn't want me to come to Hogwarts; but I came here anyway my first year." Lily informed him.
There was a silence.

Lily took out her scarf that was 75 done she was working on. She began to knit. James pulled out a notebook and began to write in it. Soon

they were immersed in their own interests. There was a fairly long silence. Every now and then they would look at each other to see what one another would be doing.

"Who is that for?" James asked suddenly. Lily jumped. He startled her. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you."

"Its okay. I'm not sure who it's for. I never really thought of it. I guess I'm just doing it for fun-."

"Oh."
"What are you doing?" Lily asked.

"Just scribbling some thoughts and random things." He replied.

"You write?"

"Not really. I took a poetry class when I went to school. I guess I enjoyed the class."

"Can I see?" Lily bent over.

"No!" James said defensively.

"Why not?" Lily was taken back by his reaction and bent a little further,

"Because I don't let anyone read it. Please, don't."

"Okay, I'm sorry." Lily decided she want in the mood to knit anymore. She put her scarf down and hugged her knees. James put his notebook away. She began to examine her fingernails.

Lily realized that he was staring at her.

She stared back. They watched each other for fifteen seconds until Lily looked away. She blushed.

He began to ruffle his hair.

"Why do you constantly do that?" Lily asked.

James looked uncertain for a minute. "I'm not sure actually."

"Do you know how to play chess?" James asked.

Lily shooked her head.

"You've never played chess before?" James asked shockingly.

"Nope."

"Here let me teach you."

"There are…" He taught her how to play the complicated game for about half an hour.
They set up the game board and the compartment door opened.

"Hey Lils! I was looking for-"Rachel realized that she was talking with James. "I'll catch you later Lils." She winked and quickly ran away.

"Who was that?" James asked as he chuckled.

"She's my best friend since my first year. Are you familiar with anyone here?" Lily asked.

James shook his head.

"You'll make friends. Believe me you'll be okay."
