Lily sat alone in one of the compartments her nose in one of her books. She scrutinized the pages closely as she continued to read. She loved to read it was one of her many passions. She smiled to herself as she tucked her orangish hair behind her ear. She sighed heavily as she flipped the page and her mind began to wander.

I'm finally going back to Hogwarts for the fifth time.

She continued to smile to herself as she thought of Hogwarts as her second home.

Remus Lupin was walking down the hallway of the train looking for an empty compartment or his friends. When he could find neither he saw a compartment where Lily Evans was sitting. They had always been on rather good terms. It wasn't his fault that she didn't like Sirius or James.

"Hey Lily." Lily looked up a little surprised that someone had joined her. When she saw that it was Remus she smiled. "Mind if I sit?"

Lily looked over his shoulder checking if James or Sirius were behind him. When she saw no one she nodded.

"Go ahead." She motioned to the seat across from her and Lupin sat down. Lily put the book away being brought up to have good manners she wasn't going to read in front of Remus.

"How was your summer?" The young werewolf asked with a weak smile.

"Fine, didn't really do much. What about you?" she didn't really feel like discussing her summer much. It was boring staying with Muggles for that long.

"It was okay." He replied thinking about the monthly transformations that Lily didn't know about. "You live with Muggles right? That must make an interesting summer."

Lily stiffened at the mention of her family. "Not really. It's a lot more interesting here."

They sat in silence for about 10 minutes until she heard footsteps down the train hallway. Sirius Black came into the compartment and grinned at the sight of both of them.

"Hey their Mooney! Hitting on James girl already? You dog you!" Sirius exclaimed as he slapped Remus on the back. Lupin grimaced at the sight of Padfoot he had probably just started something with Lily.

"Listen up Mr. Black! I am not James girl and I never will be!" Lily yelled anger boiling inside of her. "Why can't you get that through your thick skull!"

Sirius just smirked and he walked over to Lily. He cupped one of his hands underneath her chin and looked into her livid green eyes. "Then would you mind being my love?"

Lily froze as Sirius touched her but she quickly came back to her senses. She kicked him in, well, his sensitive area and pulled out her wand. Sirius fell to his knees in pain. Lily pointed her wand at Sirius chest.

"I want to get through this train ride as easy as possible." Her hand was shaking. "Touch me again and it won't be!"

Lily began to gather up her things, she would rather sit in the hallway than be in the same compartment as Sirius Black. She started to exit but Sirius stepped in front of her.

"I don't think so Ms. Evans! That kick hurt and I'm not going to let it slide that easily!" he growled and Lily stepped back a bit. "Since you're none of our boyfriends you must be going out with…Snivelly. Oh yes. And everyone needs to know don't they?"

Padfoot smirked and turned on his heel. He began running down the hallway and shouting.

"Snivelly and Evans are snogging eachother!" and other random things that had to do with Severus and Lily.

Lily felt her face flush not sure if it was with anger or embarrassment.

He's so immature. But popular he could probably get people to believe him.

She turned to Remus whose cheeks were red as well. "Can you watch my stuff Remus?" He nodded absent-mindedly.

The young witch set off down the hallway after Sirius. She was quick on her feet but so was Sirius. She smirked as she got closer to Mr. Black. She pulled out her wand but the train suddenly lurched abruptly. The last thing she saw was the back of Sirius's head before she went tumbling into him and they both fell to the ground.

Her wand had gone flying out of her hands and slid down the hallway. Lily's wrist was thumping with pain. She had twisted it backwards when she had landed on Sirius.

"Just can't keep yourself off of me can you Evans?" he asked as Lily crawled over him to get to her wand but Sirius was closer and quicker.

"Accio wand!" he exclaimed and Lily's wand flew into Sirius hands. She sat on top of Sirius chest and reached for her wand but Sirius held up his arm so she continued reach it. He was almost 3 inches taller than he was so he had no problem with keeping the wand away from her.

Suddenly a compartment door opened beside them and there stood James potter with his messy black hair and circular glasses. The two of them both turned to him.

"Hey their Prongs! Your lady just threw herself on top of me not my fault!" Sirius said with a grin. As soon as Sirius had looked away Lily grabbed her wand and stood up. She brushed herself off and coughed nervously.

"How many times do I have to tell you that I am not his lady!" Lily muttered but James just grinned and helped Sirius up.

"It's not our fault that you can't stay away from us." James said as he threw his arms up in the air and smirked at Lily.

Lily scoffed and just shook her head. She started back for her compartment she pushed her way through the two boys but Sirius grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"You know I still didn't get you back for that kick." He whispered in her ear. "I would watch your back this year Evans." He smelled her hair and Lily ripped her arm away.

Lily shot one more disgusted look back at James and Sirius and then headed down to her compartment.

When she arrived back at her compartment Remus was gone but her things were still there. She spent the rest of the train ride by herself and in silence. But all she could think about was Sirius.
