Summary: another Lily and James story... figure the rest out for yourself
Important: First Fan fiction of any kind- sorry if my style is weird... I live in South Africa with European-ish spelling.
"For Pete's sake Lily, need I remind you, AGAIN, that this is the first day of the summer holidays?" Asked Alice, the short, bubbly and at the moment, very angry ex-6th year.
The three friends, Alice, Marlene and Lily were sitting on the Hogwarts Express. They were on their way home for the summer holidays, but Lily was complaining (read: freaking-out) about her exam marks and the year ahead work.
Marlene, being the sensible one out of the three, sensed danger and decided to quickly change the subject. Unfortunately, before she could bring up a very... random comment to distract her murderous friends, someone beated her to it.
"Ooh! Catfight, compartment 11!" claimed Sirius Black. He jumped (yes, jumped) into the compartment and slid up to Lily.
"Lily pad! I'm going to miiiiis you so much! Oh, how my mornings will be dull without your bright and beautiful face to guide me through it all!" he said while he went down on one knee and basically serenaded her.
To everyone's surprise, she laughed. Then she tugged one of his hands that were flying around while he spoke, and pulled him onto the seat next to her.
"Aw, Black. I'm going to miss you to! My mornings won't be the same without your handsome face in the dark and gloomy morning!" She proclaimed, sealing it with a wink. She wasn't flirting, she was merely joking around.
Lily had become much more free-spirited after she heard a particular group of boys call her a 'stuck-up..."-you get the picture. Through her tears, her friends told her that she was funny, but not most people got to see that side of her. So she opted to be her 'full self'.
"Sorry, he hasn't had his snack yet." Said Remus as he walked in. It was a common joke that when Sirius was acting weirdly, you just said he hasn't had his 'snack' yet. The joke originated when it was found that the 'snack' lead him to shut up.
The girls laughed, which Sirius replied to with a, "hey!" This only made the three laugh more, and caused Frank- who was sleeping on Alice's lap, to wake up and fall of the seat.
"Oomph!" he exclaimed, and the others laughed harder. With a wicked grin he pulled Alice down to the ground.
"Hey! - Ouch, Frank!" she wailed, as the others continued laughing. She smiled and climbed onto Franks lap. She then reached out her hand and pulled Remus down to.
Remus then pulled Marlene down, who pushed Lily. Lily flung to the door, but before she could brace herself for the fall, a pair of strong arms caught her.
At the sound of her rescuer and friends chuckling, Lily looked up to see James holding her in his arms. Half of her got lost in his eyes, and half of her wanted to scream at him.
Slowly James put her down and looked at her with his mesmerising eyes.
Expecting some kind of snide remark, Lily braced herself. She was shocked when all he said was,
"Are you alright?"
"Y-yes." She stammered and sat down. She shot glare at Alice, who hid in her boyfriend's arms.
"Sorry" she mumbled. She looked at Lily through her dark eyelashes.
Lily cracked with one look from the adorable pixie. It was common knowledge that she was far too nice and forgiving- if you deserve it.
"Alie it's alright" she said laughing.
Suddenly, with a great burst of sound, the train stopped and everyone fell. In the distance a scream could be heard...
