Ok everybody before I start the story I just want to tell you a couple of think
first of all: I alreads started a story that is almost exactly like this one but there were some mistakes so I decided to start over
secondly: I rated this story pg-13 because I didn't know quite how future chapters would turn out, I know it wont turn out to be rated R and it may not even turn out to be rated pg-13 but I didn't know so I just put pg-13 just in case

How could it be true? Lily Evans asked herself as she heaved her trunk onto the train. More things had happened to her in one month then had ever happened to her in her entire life. In one month she had learned stuff about her self that she had never known, stuff she had never thought possible. She had learned about a world of dreams and fantasy, a world that she was a part of and had never known. It was a world she had entered many times when she had been a little girl, a world she had dreamed of, and it was a world that she had accepted long ago didn't exist, but now however, they were telling her that it was real.
There was such things as witches and wizards, and unicorns and wands. She, Lily Evans was a witch and she was going to a school, not any ordinary school, but a boarding school for young witches and wizards where she would learn, spells and charms.
Lily hadn't been able to stop thinking since she had gotten that letter, she hadn't believed it at first, she had thought it was some evil prank one of the neighbor kids had been playing, but in the back of her mind she had hoped that it was true and it was, she was here now.
Lily took a deep breath, now all she had to do was make friends, which was not her strong point. She had had the same friends since before she could even remember. They had all grown up together and now, she felt some guilt that she was leaving them behind to go on with her life. Lily had barely had a chance to say goodbye and now she was zooming across England, to a different school and she wouldn't be back until Christmas, not to mention the fact that she hadn't even been able to tell them where she was going, all they knew was that she was going to a boarding school.
Taking a deep breath Lily opened the door to a compartment and laughter escaped into the hall.
"Then what happened?" A blond asked, trying to control her giggles as she fell over and laid her head on her friends lap.
a girl with the light brown hair stopped laughing at once and now had a very serious expression on her face "Well then I said, Why don't you ask Kristy and I could tell that Kristy was going to kill me… oh my god you should have seen the look she gave me but anyway, he turned and looked at her and she was like I swear I didn't do it and he picked her up and through her into the pool."
The group burst out laughing again and Lily felt her stomach flutter.
"Your bad" The blond said
"Yeah Chlo, that was mean"
"Well you guys haven't met her" the girl that had been telling the story leaned forward, placing her hands on her knees, "trust my, you wouldn't like her either… she is such a brat"
"Yeah but" A girl with the layered black hair paused when she saw Lily in the door "oh hello"
"Hi" Lily said shyly looking down toward her feet, now that they had spotted her there was no backing off "Umm… I w-was wondering, of course I will understand if you don't want me to" she added quickly when the story teller raised and eyebrow "b-but I was w-wondering, do you m-mind if I sit here"
The girls all looked around at each other before looking back at Lily. "Maybe we can make room for one more" The blond said, sounding unsure.
The girl that had been telling the story stood up and crossed to Lily. Chloe Ryan was a very pretty girl of 11 years old; she had light brown hair that fell to her chest and stunning gray-blue eyes. Chloe already had her entire Hogwarts life all planned out, she was determined to become the most popular girl in the school, it was going to be work and she knew it but she was ready. She knew that in order to be popular you had to get in with the right people and she already had her new friends, the girls she was going to walk though the next seven years with, she knew that if she wanted to be popular then her friends needed to be perfect, they needed to be beautiful, outgoing and rich. She looked at the girl in front of her, the girl had thick auburn hair that fell in layers to her chest and bright emerald green eyes, she was about 4'9 and very petite with a perfect complexion. Her group was already perfect, she reminded herself and she didn't want to mess it up by adding an extra person, but still Chloe held her hand out to the girl.
"Chloe" she said smiling.
Lily took her hand "Lily"
"Well Lily" Chloe smiled turning around to face her friends "this is Talia" she pointed to a girl with black her in braded pig tails and honey colored eyes. "And this is Hannah" she pointed to a girl with layered blond hair and green eyes before turning to the last girl "this is Hailey" the girl had black hair that fell in layers to her shoulders and chocolate brown eyes.
"Come on" Chloe grabbed Lily's trunk and pulled it further into the compartment before grabbing Lily's hand.
"A little shy aren't you?" Talia asked studying Lily's face.
"Honey" Chloe pushed Lily down in the seat, making Hannah giggle "its okay feel welcome we all just met"
"Really?" Lily asked, they looked like they had known each other for years.
"Yeah… well… I've know Talia forever, but she doesn't count… I just met Hailey and Hannah"
Talia reached over and slapped Chloe's head "since when do I not count? That is no way to treat your oldest and dearest friend"
"Whatever" Hannah giggled again "so tell us a little about yourself"
"Me?" Lily asked, what was she supposed to tell them about herself? She had just met them and no matter what, what ever she told them could be used against her, it would give them the ability to judge her"
"Yeah" Chloe said leaning forward "like what kind of blood do you have"
"B-blood?"
"Yeah like… wait up" Hailey paused narrowing her eyes "are you a muggle born?"
"A mug…" over the last month she had heard that word muggle, but the whole month had been more of a blur, how was she supposed to remember what everything meant"
"Are your parent's muggles?" Hailey asked at Lily's blank look "non-magic folk"
"Oh" Lily smiled nervously when Hannah giggled "yeah they are"
"So then you are a muggle born" Chloe said "that's alright, I'm a pure blood, what house do you think you will be in?"
"Huh?"
"Oh boy ladies we have our work cut out of us" Hannah giggled. "Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, hufflepuff and the last one doesn't matter because I know you won't be in it"
Talia placed her hands on her knees for support and leaned forward "Slitherin" she rolled her eyes "the last house is Slitherin… Now Gryffindor…"
"For the brave" Hannah interrupted "Ravenclaw is for the smart people, Slitherin for the evil people and Hufflepuff is for everyone else… that's the house for me"
"Hufflepuff" Chloe asked "Why do you think you will be in Hufflepuff?"
Hannah giggled again and turned to look at Chloe "because I am not smart, I am a total coward, I am not evil… I just like to have fun… plus like my whole family has always been in Hufflepuff"
"Oh," Chloe raised an eyebrow, "why you would want to be in that house I have no clue, I will be in Ravenclaw, I just know it what house do you think you will be in Lily?"
"Umm…" Lily paused a minute to consider, "maybe Ravenclaw." Mistakes
***********************************************************************
"Sirius just shut up would you; you are not going to be in Slitherin" Sirius Black frowned and sent his cousin a sidelong glance
"If I'm not then my parents are going to kill me or worse, disown me"
"They are not going to disown you, at least not today. Besides I know you will be in Gryffindor, with me, wouldn't that just be perfect?"
Sirius looked down at his feet, Andromeda was his favorite cousin, she was pretty Girl of fourteen years old with long curly black hair and dark brown eyes, he wanted more then anything to be in the some house as her but she was a Gryffindor. Almost all of Sirius's family had been in Slitherin and he knew that wasn't about to change. The only other person that had not been in Slitherin had been Uncle Alfred; his parents already favored his little brother Regulus who was definitely going to be in Slitherin.
"Unless of course" Andromeda continued "you would rather be in Slitherin, it may actually be kind of cool" sarcasm joined her voice as she looked down at her feet "you could be in the same house as Bellatrix and Narcissa who is for sure going to be in Slitherin along with Regulus next year."
Sirius rolled his eyes "I thought you couldn't wait to go back to school"
"Of course I couldn't wait to go back to school" she snapped as she flung open a compartment door and led the way in.
"Then why are you in such a bad mood?" he asked heaving his trunk into the compartment "you don't sound very happy."
She pursed her lips and turned to face him "You wouldn't exactly be in a very good mood either if your room was right next to Bellitrix's." she paused for a minute, closing her eyes "I have never met anyone who snores louder. I didn't get a single hour of sleep last night."
Sirius raised an eyebrow and for the first time realized that there were two other people in the compartment, both watching them. The girl had long golden hair that waved at the ends and honey colored eyes, she was about 5'6 and skinny and the boy was tall with messy jet black hair and gorgeous hazel eyes. Andromeda turned and smiled "This is Stephanie" she pointed to the girl "and this is Stephanie's cousin James" she said pointing to the boy "James is actually your age Sirius, he is going to be a first year also and I don't think it is going to be a great idea to let these two hang out Steph but since it is their first train ride and they don't have any friends yet I suppose it will be okay"
Stephanie raised an eyebrow and gestured for the other two to sit down "why don't you think it is a good idea for them to hang out?" she muttered.
"Because they are to much alike" Andromeda answered "anyway what house do you think you will be in James?"
"Gryffindor" James shouted and Andromeda glanced back to Sirius who still hadn't taken his seat but was leaning against the door.
"We hope Sirius is in Gryffindor to"
"Aren't you a Black?" James asked abruptly, narrowing his eyes.
"Yes" Sirius heaved a sigh "got a problem with it?"
"Well, Blacks are always in Slitherin"
Sirius looked amused as he took his seat "is that what you think?" he asked grinning.
"Andy please" Sirius's grin left his face as he turned to his cousin.
"Stephanie" Andromeda was saying "I really don't want to talk to him"
"Yes you do!" Stephanie stood up and pulled Andromeda to her feet "please. Just for me. Come on Andy please. Lets just go and see what he is doing; we'll be back in like five seconds"
"But."
"Come on"
"Sirius I be right back." she broke off as she let Stephanie drag her out of the room and Sirius drew his attention back to James.
"So." he continued "you think that just because I am a Black I will be in Slitherin"
"Yeah…"
"You willing to bet on that?"
James raised an eyebrow "are you really that confident you won't be in Slitherin?"
"You that confident I will be?" Sirius returned, "Andromeda is a Black and she aint in Slitherin."
James paused considering him "so that's what? One person out of your whole family"
"I'll bet you five galleons" Sirius began "that I am not in Slitherin"
"ten" James challenged
"Done." he paused, his grin widening "10 says I am not in Slitherin but 20 says I am in Gryffindor"
James held out his hand and Sirius put his in it "say goodbye to 30 galleons"
"30?"
"Yeah, if you are in Slitherin, which I am sure you will be then you are not in another house so that is 10 galleons and you are not it Gryffindor so that is another 20."
