Lily had spent most of her Summer with her two best friends, Riley and Charlie. School was finally back and they were just entering sixth year.

Riley was absolutely stunning. Everyone thought so, well except her. She had always got on so great with guys and there was always a million chasing her. Riley was also a chaser on the Gryffindor quiddich team.

Charlie had moved to Hogwarts in 3rd year. Lily and Riley had hated Charlie when they had first met and Charlie had felt the same. But, by 4th year, they were unseperable. She was pretty in a Charlie way. Charlie had always been into books and very, very opinionated.

Lily was the smartest girl in their year. She was always top of the class. Lily had long red hair and emerald green eyes. She didn't get on with most of the year, but she had Chalrie and Riles.

When they all saw each other on the platform, they screamed and shared a group hug.

"Let's go find a compartment on the train." Suggested Charlie.

They looked for a while then finally found an empty compartment. The train eventually started and they headed to Hogwarts.

After about an hour, Charlie and Riley decided they'd go visit other friends, but Lily had chose to stay. The door slid open less then 10 minutes later to reveal James Potter, looking, dare she think it, quite attractive.

"Hello, Evans, dearest." He said with a smirk on his face.

"What do you want?" Lily asked rudely, they were'nt even at Hogwarts yet and he'd turned up.

"Calm down, love." James returned. He sat down beside her, putting his arm around her shoulder. "I missed you over Summer."

Lily rolled her eyes and removed his arm. "That's nice, Potter. Is that all you wanted to say? Because you can leave now."

"Tsk Tsk Miss Evans." James said, smirking. "Play nicely."

Lily raised her eyebrows, wishing her friends had not left her. She stayed silent.

Okay, Lily, breathe slowly and don't make eye contact, maybe he'll go

"How was your holidays?" James asked Lily, he really wanted to start a civil conversation. One that wouldn't end up in her slapping or yelling at him.

"FIne thanks." She replied.

Hey, maybe he's changed.

"How were yours?"

"Absolutely horrible."

"Oh...Why's that."

"I didn't see you."

Lily couldn't help but smile. Well she was only a human girl afterall. Lily hid her smile and turned to James, looking into his eyes but not saying anything. A few moments passed of just pure silence. Eventually, James decided he'd try his luck by slowly leaning in and --

"Hey guys!!!!" Sirius yelled as he entered the compartment. "Geez Prongs! I've been looking for you for ages!"

Lily and James looked in opposite directions, James irritated at Sirius and Lily shocked and embaressed. S nothing had happened, but it almost did.

"Err..." Sirius began. "Did I miss something?"

"Nah.." James said. "Let's get going..."

And with that, James stood up, shone an award winning smile and left. Once outside he hit Sirius over the back of the head without an explanation.

"Oi!!!!" He barked. "What was that for?"

James shook his head and walked back to their compartment.

As for Lily, she sighed and waited for her friends to return. Once they did return, Lily was silent.
