Lily Evans was sitting on the Hogwarts Express Train waiting for it to move, making it's was to Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry, Lily was going into her seventh and final year of Hogwarts as head girl, a position she had dreamed of since her first year.
"I wonder who will be head boy…maybe Remus" Lily thought, she had been on the train for at least ten minutes and was starting to get annoyed and looked at the watch, it read 10:58.
"Another two minutes to go!" Lily thought and got up of her seat and picked up a book that was lying on the other side of the compartment and started to read.
"Ouch, Peter you Bozo, why'd you run into me for?" Lily heard from outside her carriage, there was only one person that voice belonged to…James Potter! The one person Lily could not stand at Hogwarts, she was friendly with the other Marauders, but not James, there was just something about him that got her really annoyed and wanting her to just jump up out of nowhere and slap him hard in the face.
Suddenly there was a bang on the door and Lily looked up to find four lads looking in from the door banging on it for her to let them in, Lily got up and opened the door for them, she just didn't want any commotion on the train, or at least that's what she told herself.
"Come on Lily you can handle them…just ignore Potter…he's not even worth bothering about!" Lily thought to herself as she opened the door, and braced herself with what was to come.
"LILYKINS!!! How are you chuck!" Sirius Black shouted and hugged Lily.
"Sirius, breathing has become an issue!" Lily said and Sirius let go of the girl to let her breath.
"Hi Remus, Pete" Lily said simply sitting down.
"Hi Lils" the boys replied and then there was complete silence…Lily knew that this would get James' attention, as she completely ignored him, she was just waiting for him to reply…which he did in the end.
"And where's my 'Hello' Evans" James said sitting down next to her and Lily scooted away a little so he wasn't that close to her.
"It went down the toilet, which is where your personality should go!" Lily snapped, knowing that she couldn't ignore him…but why?
"No need to be harsh Miss Evans, it was only a simple question!" James said slyly.
"Nothings simple to you Potter!" Lily said going back to her book.
"Meaning?" James said.
"Figure it out!" Lily snapped not taking her eyes off the book. Knowing that he couldn't win James left it at that and there was another awkward silence.
"Why did you guys come in here anyway…isn't there any other compartments?" Lily asked breaking the silence but still not taking her eyes of her book, this gave James a reason to talk to her again but he looked at Remus who glared at him, telling him to shut his mouth.
"He obviously wants to keep the peace!" James thought slumping in his chair.
"Well beside the fact that we wanted to see you Lilykins, there was no other compartments, and besides why would you rather be on your own than with us?" Sirius said with the charming smile that got him famous.
"I can think of a couple of reasons," Lily said glaring at James, who saw this and slumped even more into his chair.
"I can't win with this girl can I?" James thought.
"So um Lily, are you head girl this year?" Remus asked.
"Yeah, are you head boy?" Lily asked and Remus shook his head and Sirius and James smiled slightly.
"Alas I'm not bound to that honour," Remus said sounding strangely like Dumbledore and the carriage burst into laughter.
"Well if you're not then that leaves, Amos Diggory, Brian Dover and Snape, wonderful; I hope it's not Snape, I don't even want to begin thinking of what it would be like if I had to live with him for the whole year!" Lily said with a look of disgust on her face.
"Actually Lily…Jamie over here has that privilege this year!" Sirius said before heading into fits of laughter and James glared at Sirius.
"He's not telling the truth is he?" Lily asked Remus, whom she knew would never lie to her.
"Actually Lils, for once in his life he's telling the truth, surprising isn't it?" Remus asked Lily who was in a state of shock.
"Surprising about what, Sirius telling the truth or James being head boy?" Peter asked.
"Both" Lily said simply and then she turned to James and spoke.
"How is Dumbledore's name did you, Potter, become head boy?" Lily said with disgust, obviously believing that James wasn't 'up to scratch' for the job.
"I don't know, but do you know what that means Evans, it means that you'll have to live with me for a whole year!" James said with a gigantic smile on his face.
"I think I'd rather have Snape!" Lily said.
"Now Lilykins, we know that Jamie is ugly beyond belief but Snape, don't you think that's going a bit to far?" Sirius said with a shocked face.
"Wait whose side are you on, I'm not that ugly!" James said and Lily let out the tiniest of snorts.
"Whatever, look I didn't get that much sleep last night and I would like to have a tiny sleep before we get to Hogwarts, so if you continue to stay in here, please do it quietly!" James said and shifted James and Sirius over to the other side of the compartment, to squeeze in with Remus and Peter, which wasn't easy, so that she could sleep.
Lily woke up to a loud bang and someone screaming 'YES!' at the top of their breath and then someone saying in a slight whisper,
"Shut up or you'll wake up Evans"
"You'd mind that wouldn't you James, you can freely stare at her without her slapping you when she's asleep" Lily heard Sirius say as she lifted her head.
"Now look what you've done with your loud gob!" James said.
"I didn't know you cared Potter!" Lily said sitting up and seeing a table in the middle of the compartment with a game of exploding snap on it and about ten big packets of sweets surrounding the game and Peter sitting on the floor so Remus, James and Sirius could all fit onto the chair.
"Come and sit on here Pete" Lily offered and Peter stood up and sat across from Lily.
"Oh by the way I'd like to thank you all for waking me up" Lily added sarcastically.
"No problem" Sirius added with a smile.
"We're really sorry Lils" Remus said.
"Well I'd expect nothing less from him" Lily said nodding her head towards James, who sighed and went back to his game.
"Lils can't you give him a break, He's changed" Sirius said sticking up for his best friend.
"What…his underwear" Lily said and Remus stiffened and Laugh under his breath.
"No Lily, his personality, the way he treats people, I mean look at you, he hasn't even asked you out yet, like he usually does when you enter a room" Sirius said and Lily thought about this statement for a while.
"That's true, he hasn't asked me out yet, maybe he has changed, Wait Evans this is Potter we're talking about here, he's still the arrogant pig head until proven innocent"
Suddenly before Lily could answer the train halted to a stop and Lily looked out of her window and saw Hogsmeade station the same as it always was, with Hagrid standing outside waiting for all the first years to get out of the train to take them up to the castle, he saw her and waved, and she waved back until he looked away looking at the train door that was closest to me which now had dozens of Hogwarts students cramming out of it, all ready for a new year at Hogwarts.
Lily got up with the boys and walked out the door, they all said a quick hello to Hagrid and then they all walked up to the carriages that would take them to Hogwarts when Sirius said a little word to Lily, without the others hearing,
"He had changed Lily, just give him a chance, he really likes you, and believe me, he's worth a chance" He said and went to the closest carriage and jumped in, Remus followed, then Peter but James stayed behind to keep the carriage door open for Lily to get in.
"Thank you" Lily said simply and sat down inside the carriage and James jumped in a closed the door.
"My pleasure" He answered.
"Maybe Sirius is right, he has changed, and this year is going to be completely different to any other, hopefully" Lily thought and a giant smile arrived onto her face.
