A/N: Hey everone! my name is Emily and this is my first story I have put on this loverly website! I know it is super short but I just needed to get this posted and from here on they should be way longer! I hope you enjoy!

P.S. If you like it I'll continue! maybe I'll continue if you all hate it because I have this story in my head and I need to get... But we'll cross that bridge when we get there!

"Lily!" A voice, that Lily could recognize from anywhere, yelled from behind her as she looked around platform 9 ¾.

"Celeste!" Lily greeted her friend as she came up and wrapped her arms around her in a hug.

"Oh Lily! It's so good to see you! How have you been?" Celeste asked, with excitement seeping into every word. Lily took in the sight of her best friend. They were so different from each other, Celeste was quite tall and had auburn hair that fell to her waist, she had brown eyes that were always touched with a smile. The only thing that stopped Celeste from looking as perfect as was humanly possible, was her nose. It was slightly larger than most peoples, but she had a confidence about her that was enough to distract from it. She would never let anyone but Lily know how insecure she was truly about it.

"I've been good! I feel like I haven't seen you in so long!" Lily said wrapping her in another hug. They had been best friend since first year when Celeste kicked a boy in the groin for making fun of Lily. Lily was by no means unattractive, quite the opposite really, but she did not want to draw attention to herself so she dressed in subtle colors and would never be seen in tight clothing. Her grades came first. She had two more years left at Hogwarts and she was not going to let anything distract her from her studies. She had been given the honor of being a prefect for the second year in a row and had her heart set on being Head Girl for her last year at Hogwarts.

Celeste was about to speak when something large slammed into her, causing her to smack in to Lily, making them both fall to the ground with an audible gasp as they both landed on the cold hard cement.

"Oi!," Celeste yelled. "what the bloody hell was that for?" she demanded.

Lily lifted her head to see three boys standing over them, looking amused at the sight of the two girls on the ground, with the exception of one who looked at his other laughing friends with a tired expression, as he leaned over to help the girls up. Lily realized it was Remus Lupin who, like Lily, was a prefect last year and assumed he was on this year.

"sorry about them, I assume they were dropped on their heads as babys." Remus said as he eyed his friends as they laughed at the girls expense much to Lily's embarrassment. Lily's face turned red and she looked down at her feet.

"Oi, Lilac! You're face was priceless!" the boy Lily recognized as Sirius Black. Lily cringed at being called Lilac but was not surprised that the handsome boys standing in front of her did not know her name.

"You too Celeste!" Sirius laughed while the other boy she knew as James Potter snickered. It was no surprise that these boys had know Celeste's name but not lily's. Celeste was popular and Lily often wondered why Celeste had befriended her.

Lily looked up at James and when he caught her eyes she looked away and flushed even more. She was not going to correct them but Remus spoke up in a voice that was calm and even.

"Sirius, her name is Lily not Lilac." He corrected with a apologetic look directed at Lily. Remus and Lily were not close but as he looked at the quiet girl already in her uniform, that was slightly too large, he felt like he should defend her, knowing from prefect duty that she was a soft spoken and would not defend herself.

Sirius eyed the girl and then laughed silently as he took in her appearance. "well in knew it was a flower," he muttered while Lily shifted uncomfortably, while at her side Celeste sensing she was uncomfortable smoothed out Lily's sweater that wrinkled when she fell to the ground.

Remus eyed his friends expectantly and when Sirius did not step forward with and apology, Lily was shocked to see James step forward.

"Sorry about that ladies." He said as he ran his hand through his already disheveled hair. Lily could not meet his eyes as she looked at the boy standing in front of her. He was quite attractive she noted mentally, he had dark hair that stuck up in different directions, wire rimmed glasses, but she could not tell his eye color for she could not stand to meet his eyes, and she noticed he was quite tall and muscular.

"Lily not Lilac, eh?" he asked lily. All she could do was nod, for she did not trust her voice. Just then the train sounded, warning that the train was departing soon.

James put his hands in his pockets and looked behind his left shoulder at the scarlet train, "well later Lily not Lilac," he said with a wink and a sly smile. The two other boys walked off with him.

All Lily could do was stare after James until Celeste pulled her out of her trance as she dragged her to board for their sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry.
