Chapter 1: On the Express

Lily

As she got on the train for her sixth year at Hogwarts she realised that this year would be different. She was a prefect now and entitled to a lot of privileges. She went up to the prefect's carriage. She saw some people she already knew, like Remus Lupin looking decidedly unwell, one of her friends from Ravenclaw and some others she knew from class. There was one boy she didn't know. She'd seen him before but never spoken. He was darkly charismatic with long dark hair and serious brown eyes, hidden by his dark locks. He sat away from the others, studying them carefully. He'd changed throughout the summer, gone was the lanky awkwardness replaced with tall grace and easy authority. His eyes met hers and he raised an eyebrow, saying nothing. There was no other seat so she walked towards him.

"May I sit here?" she asked. Once again he didn't speak but nodded his head to the vacant seat. She sat and took out a book to read. The boy continued to study everyone until Lily had had enough. "What?" she asked when his eyes roved to her once again. He shrugged

"Jus' gettin' a measure of everyone. He interests me." he nodded at Lupin "But never mind, who are you and what house are you in?" he spoke with a northern accent, Making him seem a little stupid.

"Lily Evans, I'm in Gryffindor."

"Kyle Xanthaine, Slytherin." He held out his hand, she took it and he kissed her on the knuckles "Charmed." He smiled, disarmingly. She was glad to get to some privacy to change and think the peculiar feeling in her gut through.

Kyle

As he walked onto platform nine and three quarters, he checked his trunk for the millionth time and brushed his hair out of his dark eyes. He looked around the platform before hopping onto the train and stowing his trunk in the prefect's carriage. He sat down and waited. The first to come in was a fellow Slytherin by the name of Cate Lewis; she was followed closely by the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw prefects. He knew none of them by name he had waved to Cate, but ignored the others. Barely minutes later one of the Gryffindor prefects came in; he looked rather ill and had huge bags under his eyes. Kyle began studying the group, keeping himself to himself, observing the subtle social machinations of the prefects. Just before the train left, the other Gryffindor appeared. She had red hair and green eyes and looked stunning. Her eyes met his and he raised his eyebrows, not trusting himself to say anything. She walked towards him and his heart sped up.

"May I sit here?" she asked indicating the seat next to him. He still didn't trust himself to speak so he nodded at the seat. She sat and got out a book, reading it avidly. He continued his studies of the others, eyes always roving back to the beautiful girl next to him. Eventually it seemed she'd had enough.

"What?" she asked indignantly as his eyes passed to her again

"Jus' getting' a measure of everyone." He needed some thing he could have noticed he cast his eyes around the room. He nodded at the ill looking boy "He interests me." He wanted to keep her talking "but never mind that, who are you and what house are you in?"

"Lily Evans, I'm in Gryffindor."

"Kyle Xanthaine, Slytherin." He surprised himself by holding out his hand, she surprised him even more by taking it and he surprised himself once again by giving her a suave kiss on the knuckles. "Charmed." He said, smiling naturally for the first time in a long while. He was glad to get some peace, when she went to change, to think about the cartwheels his stomach was doing.

Lily

When she was changed she went back into the carriage where the boy was spinning his wand on his fingers. He wasn't looking at it and seemed to be deep in thought. He opened a book on his lap and began practicing spells. He could even do it silently. She walked up to him and sat down again.

"Are you a pure blood?" she asked him

"Yes. You?" he looked at her with his serious eyes, he seemed to be staring straight into her soul.

"Muggle born…" she waited for him to say something but he smiled.

"That was very brave. Most people would have lied. Well done." He patted her on the back "For the record, I have nothing against that, but Cate might take exception." He nodded towards the other Slytherin. Kyle looked tired and worn as he settled down. Before they even noticed it Cate was standing next to them.

"Tut tut, Kylenquine. Sitting with a Gryffindor? That's bad for reputation. She probably isn't even pureblood." She grinned nastily

"Catelain, you're intelligent I assume? You have some thought impulses rattling around there? Why does it matter? Who cares about lineage?"

She looked at him like she'd been slapped in the face "Blood traitor." She murmured "Consorting with Mudbloods like her! You should be ashamed!"

"Look here, bitch! At least she is worthy of company, unlike you who's going to die all fuckin' alone" he stood up "She has more purity in her blood than you or your family will ever have!" he tied his hair in a ponytail revealing a white, blind eye. "Remember what I did for you. Now go back over there." He pointed at her seat. As he turned around she pulled out her wand. Lily pulled out hers.

"Crucio!" yelled Cate yelled pointing it at Kyle; he writhed in pain screaming at the top of his lungs.

"Stupefy!" Cate was blasted back with the sheer force of the jinx. Lily rushed to Kyle's side "Are you ok?" he opened his blind eye and then his normal one.

"That's interesting…"

"What?"

"You're the first person who ain't commented on my full name… y'know Kylenquine Xanthaine." He laughed weakly "It's a really lame name…" he coughed. "Fuck, she really meant that one…" she giggled, girlishly

"You gonna be okay?" he hacked a little

"I'll live to fight another day." He chuckled "Thanks for the save by the way… Just cuz she's the older twin she thinks she owns me."

"She's your twin?" he grinned through the pain, coughing lightly.

"Yeah… I got the looks and she got the bitchiness." He smiled again, making her heart flutter. He pulled off his hair band, letting his hair fall long again. He looked into her green eyes with his brown ones and as if caught by a sudden urge he propped himself up on his elbows and kissed her. It was a perfect moment; his tongue politely knocked on her lips for entry and was not denied. The moment lasted for five seconds but seemed an eternity for the couple locked in the kiss. As they pulled away from the kiss they looked at each other and he winked with his white eye. She stared into his eyes until she could almost see his soul.

"Wanna go out some time?" she asked breathlessly

"After that kiss, nothing could stop me." He got up and grinned like he'd just won the lottery. "I'll call you then." He smiled, handing her a parchment.

"What's this?"

"A parchment." He laughed "Whatever you write on this one will appear on mine and vice versa." He kissed her again. "Shit I'd better get changed… we're nearly there…" and he dashed off. Lily smiled to herself. Wait until James Potter heard about this!

As I said at the top, if you read this please review, I'd like to know how I'm doing… Thanks all!
