Chapter One…A Nice Reunion

Lily practically ran onto the train, excited beyond belief. Her friend, whom she hadn't seen in four long years, was coming to Hogwarts for her last school year. Lily knew her to be a wild, fierce, and sometimes-rude person, but she loved her just the same. She was the only person Lily could really talk to. Everyone else figured she was just fine and happy with her life. But Lucy knew better. She could always see when Lily was upset, no matter how good the façade. And that was why she loved her. She was like a sister. A real sister, not like Petunia.

But as great a friend as she is, it'd be nice if she quit all that drinking, and smoking that awful stuff, Lily thought. and the just being plain crazy…

Lily sighed in frustration when she found that the only compartment on the train that was not full was the one James was sitting in, with his friends, the "Marauders".

No, she told herself, I will NOT let him ruin my day. Pasting on a fake smile, Lily opened the door.

Ignoring James and Sirius, she looked to Remus. He was really the only one of the group that she could stand. "Can I sit here? The others are full."

"Sure!" James answered before Remus could reply.

Lily spared him a glance before sitting down opposite from him. Her heart thudded in her chest, and she was practically bouncing in her seat in anticipation.

Sirius looked at her. "What's with you? Are you excited about our last year? Seventh year is the worst, believe me. Too much work."

"No…" she replied half-heartedly, as though she wasn't completely there.

Sirius arched a brow. "Then what is it?"

Lily sighed happily, deciding to tell them. "I…my friend is coming here for her last year. I haven't seen her in four years, since she lives in America."

"She's American?" Sirius asked, suddenly very interested. "Is she hot? I heard most American girls are."

Lily glowered at him. "Really, is that all you think about?"

He was about the reply when the compartment door opened, and a girl walked in. "Lily, hi! God, it's been so long!"

The boys stared. The girl was indeed, as Sirius put it, 'hot'. She was tall, with long supermodel legs and a slim figure with curves in all the right places, the type of body that would make every guy want to go out with her and every girl take a hit on her self esteem. Her skin was porcelain-pale, her strawberry-blonde curls cascading down her back. Her honey-colored eyes were wide and filled with happiness, her 'snake-bite' pierced lips tugged up in a smile. She was dressed already in her long black school robes.

"Catty! It's so good to see you." Lily hugged the girl, Catty.

Catty laughed. "Same to you." She let go and stood back, looking at the boys. "Friends of yours?"

Lily started to tell her not when Sirius and James stepped forward. "Yes, as a matter of fact, we are." Sirius extended his hand. "Sirius Black."

Catty looked at him, rolling her eyes. "So not interested." She turned back to Lily. "So what is there to do there?" They began chatting about the school.

James chuckled at the look of astonishment on his friend's face. "Oh dear god, Moony. A girl turned Sirius down! Oh save us, the apocalypse has finally come."

Remus couldn't help but laugh. "Looks like it. Sorry Padfoot. Guess your charms are wearing off."

"Ha!" James laughed.

Sirius glowered at them as his shock wore off. "Oh do shut up."

"Ooh look Moony, Padfoot's mad!" James' eyes twinkled with merriment. "Now I wonder why that would happen."

Before it could escalate even further, the train stopped, announcing they were there. The two girls left, not waiting for the boys.

"Man, were those guys obnoxious! Jeez…" Catty followed Lily up the castle stairs. "Why do you hang with them?"

Lily rolled her eyes. "I don't. They're all loud and rude and obnoxious. Especially James."

The blonde smiled. "He's actually kinda' cute. Not my type, but cute nonetheless."

Lily sighed. "Yeah, and every other girl in this school thinks so too."

Still talking steadily on about the four boys, the two girls moved on. They entered the Great Hall, and were soon lost in the crowd.
