AN: The name means something but you don't understand until later.
James matures a little before 6th year and asked Lily out less and professing his undying love and all that. About the middle of the year they actually became good friends. Don't get me wrong they still fought and James still loved Lily but how could you expect them not to fight they were both very opinionated and well liked to get they points across. Lily, her friends, and the marauders became very close friends.
Lily pulled her cart through the wall onto the platform smiling. She paused for a few seconds as it sunk in it was going to be her last time getting on the train to Hogwarts. She could feel her smile shrink. No she told her self non of this last times things. Noticing she was still in the way of the platform she started to had to the train.
She started to look for a compartment with her friends in it. After looking at most in the front she tried to look in the back.
She opened the door and there were her friends; Isabelle (Is) Katie, Emily, Hannah, and Abigail (Abby) fellow 7th years. They all stopped talking and looked up as she entered. Has she turned and shut the door something turned her around fast and pulled her into a big hug. Lily could help put grin at Abby's enthusiasm.
Abby was the tallest of the girls at 5'8 with thick brown hair that was six inches passed her shoulders and beautiful bright blue eyes that always seemed happy, but normally hidden by her grasses that she hated. Her least favorite feature she freckles scattered across her pale face. She had very exuberant personality and very, very boy crazy. She was the kind of person you silently stare at for thirty seconds and she would burst out laughing. She loved music (almost as much as she loved boys). She was an average student, but not the brightest or the most talented of there group. She's a half-and-half (as she likes to call it) her dad was a wizard and her mother a muggle. "So.. How was your summer?" She asked pulling back.
"Fine" was all she could say before she was pulled into the hugs of her other friends.
Is the second tallest, was Is. Born in the Philippines and moved to England when she was three. She had the Asian dark skin and almost black brown hair with very large brown eyes. She was very artistic, always drawing or doodling. Is was a pureblood. Is was the third most talented of the girls, but she worked as hard as Lily and made the second best grades. She was quiet and shy if she didn't know you, but if you were one of her close friends she could talk almost as much as Abby. She was also very good about reading people, which is what made her ask "really?" Because she know all about Lily's sister problems.
Katie was the second shortest and resented it, but she didn't complain. She had short just barley to her shoulders length dull brown hair and very light brown eyes that always gave away her. Katie was some times clueless about what was going on and it caused her to say the wrong thing at the wrong time quite often. But she was a good laugh and would stick up for you and made a great friend. Although smarter than Abby and worked almost as hard as Is she could never beat her three other friends when it came to grade. Katie was pureblood like Is and second cousins to James Potter, but they didn't really know each other until Hogwarts. Katie always had a easy small, she believed that if there was nothing to frown about then why not smile.
Hannah was the shortest barley 5 feet tall and sort of chubby. She had strawberry blonde hair and odd blue eye, odd because though very readable they seemed dead. Her emotions were very dramatic either very happy or mad never calm. She was a pureblood. She was very dependent on her friends most of the time, but when you needed her, she was always there. She works hard, not as hard as Is but she give it her all, but her grades are only ever the same as Katie. She was a total snob their first three years at Hogwarts, but after about the middle of their 4th year she parents got killed by Lord Voldemort they were all best friends.
Emily was the almost exactly Lily's height. She had long golden brown hair that fell to her waist if she didn't have it in a hair style of some sort, dark piercing brown eye that were very water even though her almost never cried. She was fairly dark skin almost olive skin. She was more of a natural at magic than Lily, but she didn't try. She was the biggest book worm. She read everything from wizard to muggel and everything in between. You couldn't count the amount of time Professor M. scolded and gave her a detention for reading in class. She was the funniest in the group, very sarcastic and teasing and most easy going, and an amazing liar, even Is' eye reading could tell if she was. Although her friend thought they understood her Lily always felt like was a closed book and no one was allowed in. She was a muggle born from America. She had perfect grammar which surprised her friends at first but every no and then some thing southern would slip. Emily was Lily's best friend because she could keep a secret, hated gossip, she could make you laugh no matter what, you just felt comfortable around her, and most importantly to Lily she understood. Like Lily she was the only one of her siblings to be a witch, she was one of four. Also like Lily her younger sister hated her for it. So maybe it was understanding that told her not to ask.
"Yeah," Lily said a little more convincingly as she took her set. Although Is didn't believe her a look from Emily silenced her. Lily mouthed a 'thank you' to Emily. She nodded.
"Girls" Abby said deciding that they were in need of a subject change. "What are you ready for our final year at Hogwarts?"
Two yes's and three no's filled the compartment. Everyone laughed.
They were interrupted by the door flying open.
And there stood non other than Sirius Black himself. "Prongs, I think I've gone bonkers there are six veelas in here." Sirius said to James how just appeared behind him. "Who are you and what have you done with our ugly friends?" He asked pointing at the girls.
"Why silly Sirius, we haven't done any thing to James he is standing right next to you." Countered Emily. Everyone laughed even James.
"Its kind of redundant; silly, serious." Katie said.
Emily shook her head. Katie didn't get it. "Your not suppose to explain the joke Katie."
"So where are Remus and Peter?" Is asked.
"Actually we were looking for them when we came here, we thought they were with you." Said James.
"Come on lets go looking for them." Lily suggested. Then a loud laugh filled the compartment. Everyone looked to see Emily doubled over with laughter. Sirius gave Lily a has-she-gone-crazy look. Lily just shrugged.
Like always when Emily laughed Is did, she was most vulnerable to Emily's contagious laugh. Soon everyone was laughing, still no one seemed to know why.
Emily whipped a tear away from her eye, because she started to cry from laughter and took a couple deep breathes. She reached her hand into her pocket and got out a chocolate frog. "Here you go Sirius." Handing him on of the frogs.
Everyone else looked at her suspiciously, but Sirius how never mistrusted a piece of candy a day in his life popped it into his mouth. Or tried to. It jumped onto his head and messed up his trade mark hair.
"EEEEEEw" he screamed. Everyone else laughed. Hannah how seemed to have gotten bored with the joke or took pity on Sirius went over to him and got the frog off his head and handed to Emily. Emily stopped laughing to everyone surprise and grapped her wanted out of her other pocket. Her eyes turned purple as her muttered incantation at the toad. Suddenly Remus was standing in front of them laughing. Soon joined by Emily and everyone else. Sirius just pouted in .
"You have to admit I had you there Sirius." Said Emily, how was sitting on the floor, because she fell laughing.
"Yeah b-but you had a marauder with you." He tried to make an excuse.
"Yes, but she made the plan I just agreed to getting turned into a frog." He corrected as he heed out his hand to help Emily up.
"I was surprised you agreed. What if you were stuck a frog until we found Prof. M.?" She questioned and took his hand. He just laughed.
"Next to James you're the best at Transfiguration in our year."
"Na uh, you beat me on finals last year."
"Yeah, but you didn't study."
"I never study," she said sounding like a two year old. "And even if I did you still would have beaten me."
Remus opened his mouth to answer, but Katie ran over him. "Give up now, Emily always wins the argument." Emily smiled big with her eyes squeezed shut.
No one argued with that.
"That still doesn't explain where Peter is." Is wondered.
"Actually I haven't seen him. Have ya'll?" Emily asked.
Everyone laughed at her Southern accent. Emily stuck her chin up in the air. "Your are just jealous. Actually it's kind of funny see as I was born a Yankee." Everyone gave her a blank look. Of course they don't know what a Yankee is, she thought. The thought made her laugh. Well, that and their blank stares. Then remembering. "Hey, Lily, aren't you suppose to go to the heads compartment and meet the prefects?"
God, sometimes I think she's a mind reader or something, thought Lily. "Yeah, thanks for reminding me." She said as she rushed out the compartment door.
"Wait Lily," Called James. Lily stopped, but didn't turn.
"Yeah?"
"I have to go too." He said proudly pointing to his head boy bag.
"Well, congratulations, James." She said giving him a quick friendly hug.
Just then a 3rd year from Hufflepuff came out of her compartment and stared at the odd scene in the hall way. "Lily Evans and James Potter are going out." she said slightly baffled.
Lily pulled back and chuckled, slightly blushing, but sense she is a red head she was use to it and knew how to hide it. She bent down and whispered into the girl's ear and she laughed with her. And went back to her compartment.
"What did you say?" Asked James slightly worried.
"' He wishes'" She said through her laughter.
James gripped his heart and mad a hurt look as a joke. Making Lily laugh harder. But truthfully it did hurt, he really did wish that. They started walking again. Lily remembering some thing said, "Hey where's Remus?"
"Oh, he's telling the 5th year prefects where the compartment is."
"Good," was all she could say. "So how was your summer?"
James thought of a word that could sum up his boring, quitchid full summer. "Fine," he finally answered feeling lame just saying it. "So, how was your summer?"
Lily's face fell a little at the question, "same old." She lied.
They had reached the prefects compartment. James opened and held the door open for Lily. Lily smiled and said "thank you." James gave a little bow. She chuckled.
She entered the room and went into Head girl, leader mode reciting the speak she heard every year from the head girl and boy, with the occasional impute of James. Passing out patrolling schedules as the prefects left, she sighed. James gave her a questioning look. "It's going to be a long year."
James nodded in agreement. They turned to leave. They were half way down the hall way when they heard a huge bang.
Lily sighed, "how much you want to bet that come from our compartment?" James laughed.
