A/N: I'm going to try to write Harry Potter again- my first attempt was a fail. Please read this, it's not a Drinny like the other one-it's a JP/LE, and MAYBE SB/OC. I'm not sure yet. Anyways, please do me the honor of clicking the little button down the bottom there, it's centered, quite obvious, and will be a big help to all of us! (me, you, and the other readers. )

Here we go!:
Selena P.O.V.
I walked out onto the platform. I gasped in wonder; it was my first time coming to Hogwarts and I was muggleborn, so I had never seen magic before. Owl cages floated in the air, parents and children were screaming everywhere, and the Hogwarts Express loomed above it all, a big, black monster towering above us. I felt especially small just looking at it.
"Mum, really! Geroff me! I'll be fine!" yelled a small black-haired boy smothered against his mother.
"Goodbye dear! We'll write every day James, and don't get into any trouble!"
The boy smirked at this last comment. He turned around, saw me, winked, and then quick as a rabbit, he ran up the steps and onto the train.
The Hogwarts Express blew its whistle as I stood there in shock, and I realized I had to get on- fast! Following James' example, I rushed onto the train. I threw open the first compartment I saw, and to my surprise, it wasn't James inside, but a pretty, red-haired girl. Figuring James had moved on, and not wanting to seem like the kind of type who hangs on to people desperately, I let myself in and sat down across from her.
"Hi."
"Hi," Red-hair said shyly.
"What's your name? I'm Selena Irrativor."
" I'm Lily Evans. Does your last name mean irritate?" she said, blushing a little.
" Actually, it does... not. But I think it should. Irritating people is what I'm good at. Not that I'd irritate you...on purpose. I usually just do it to people who really annoy me, like this kid Tom at my old school. I... am muggleborn."
" Really?"
I cringe, waiting for an accusation.
" So am I!"
"What?" This, I wasn't expecting.
"Yeah, it's no big deal though. So... about your annoying talent... can you do something for me?"
"Um..." I said cautiously. "What exactly do you want me to do?"
Fifteen minutes later, we were standing outside another compartment. I listened closely to see who was inside.
"Oh, that's real funny, Moony." a boy said sarcastically.
"You have to admit Padfoot, it was funny."
I gasped, then quickly covered my mouth. I knew that voice!
"These are the boys that drive you crazy?"
"Yeah. Well, more in particular one..." and Lily proceeded to tell me about the fateful ten minutes on the platform in which Sirius Black (Padfoot) and James Potter had insulted Lily to tears after which James had walked up to Lily and kissed her on the cheek.
"He had no right to!" said Lily.
"But it sounds as if he likes you. And you just met him. Why don't you give him a chance?"
Here I am, Selena Irrativor, the rule-breaking queen of Sarshaw Elementary school, comforting a goody-goody and giving her boy advice! What has the world come to!
"He still had no right to touch me!" hmphed Lily. And we sat in silence for the rest of the ride, outside James' compartment.
