Lily came through the magical barrier and looked around. 'Even the train is beautiful…' She thought, and then wheeled her trolley over to a door leading to the train. "Need some help?" A boy asked from behind her with blonde hair and a pale face. Lily turned around, thinking it was some prat that just wanted to date her before she started half-yelling at him. "LOOK, just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I'm helpless, OK?!" The boy just blinked. "Sorry, trying to be polite. My mum and dad raised me that way, Sorry to bother you." Lily winced then put a hand on his shoulder before he could turn away. "In that case…yes I would love some help, please." The boy smiled before picking up her trunk and putting it under the train in the compartment where they would be staying until they got to Hogwarts.

"By the way, what's your name?" The boy asked curiously. "I'm Lily, Lily Evans. What's your name?" She asked politely, sticking out her hand. "Remus Lupin, It's a pleasure to meet you." He shook her hand and she smiled. "Would you sit with me? I don't know anyone…" She said, looking at her feet, embarrassed.

Remus smiled. "But of course." Lily smiled and they found an empty compartment and sat down. "So, are you a muggle born?" Lily nodded. "A girl at the station already told me what it meant." Remus nodded. 'She's very pretty…' He thought. 'He's very handsome…' She thought.

Remus told Lily everything he could about the Wizarding World and what he knew of Hogwarts. The train after many hours, stopped at a platform right outside of Hogsmeade. "Firs' years this way!" They heard a man whom looked like a giant call. Remus and Lily stepped off of the train before following the man to about two dozen boats. "Four to a boat!" The giant, named Hagrid called out again. The two looked around but couldn't find a boat with anyone but two boys who were whispering then grinning to each other.

They sat down before a boy with shoulder-length black hair and gray eyes looked up at them. " Hello. I'm Sirius, and this here's James." Sirius gestured to each of them before looking curiously at them. "Who are you two?" Lily smiled before answering, "I'm Lily, this is Remus." Sirius and James nodded their heads before going back to whispering about something with Remus rolling his eyes because he could hear them.

"Here we are, get out and follow me!" Hagrid called out. Lily and the rest of them looked up, Hogwarts castle was extraordinary. "Wow…" They all breathed before getting out of the boat and following Hagrid. "Minerva." Hagrid nodded to the woman in black robes with her long brown hair falling down past her shoulders. Minerva led them to two huge wooden doors before turning back to them. "Welcome to Hogwarts. In a few moments you shall be sorted into one of the four houses. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. I'll be back in a few moments, please be quiet." She then slipped inside the huge room, leaving them alone. Lily looked at Remus. "Please be in the same house as I am, please? I couldn't live without you." Remus smiled. "Of course we'll be in the same house Lily." Minerva then motioned for them to come in and they did, awing at the beauty and size of the Great Hall. "Now, when I call your name, walk up here and sit on the stool and I shall place the sorting hat on your head and it will sort you." Minerva said before looking at her list. "Applebee, Amy." "Hufflepuff!"

"Black, Jennifer."

James turned to Sirius. "Related?" Sirius shook his head.

"Gryffindor!"

"Black, Sirius"

The hat took a few moments before shouting, "Gryffindor!"

Sirius and Jennifer happily bounded off to the Gryffindor table, waiting for their friends.

"Caldwell, Kelly."

"Ravenclaw!"

"Dalton, Seth."

"Slytherin!"

A few more students were called before "Evans, Lily." Was called and Remus pushed her forward. She sat on the stool with the hat atop her head, whispering in her ear. "Ah, studious and clever I see. Very brave and courageous though…where to put you…Ah, yes. That's the only way." The hat whispered before yelling, "Gryffindor!"

Once again, quite a few students were called before, "Lupin, Remus." He took a deep breath before sitting on the stool and the hat being placed on his head. "Ah, a werewolf. Indeed you are, my boy. But courageous and smart none the less…Better be.." The hat whispered before yelling "GRYFFINDOR!" Remus grinned and ran to the Gryffindor table before sitting next to Lily. "Yes, we're together!!" She said happily, hugging him. Remus smiled before Malfoy, Lucius was put into Slytherin; Potter, James was put into Gryffindor; Russell, Ashley was put into Gryffindor; and Snape, Severus was put into Slytherin. The headmaster stood up.

"Before we eat, I have an announcement to make. A new tree, The Whomping Willow has been planted on grounds this year. Be careful. The forbidden forest is still out of bounds. Now that that is said and done, Let's eat!" He waved his hand before food appeared everywhere on the tables. Everyone sighed with relief before eating their heart's content then filing out to their Common Rooms.

Lily and Remus sat on the couch in the common room. "Remus… I'm nervous about meeting my dorm mates… so I'm going to stay down here with you for awhile…is that ok?" Lily asked, looking at him hopefully. "Lily. Now really. I'm not going to abandon you that fast if I do abandon you at all. Which is a very, very low chance." He smiled at her and she smiled back gratefully. Lily turned and looked into the flames of the fire, her eyes a magnificent green with red touches from the fire. Remus looked at her, studying her before saying without even realizing it, "Lily…you're so pretty. I don't deserve to be your friend…." Lily looked at him, a tiny bit surprised. "How dare you say that you don't deserve to be my friend! As for that I'm pretty… Thank you even though I am very ugly. But I must say that you are quite the handsome guy Remus." She sniffed, as if making her point stand. Remus reached out and pulled Lily onto his lap and stretching his legs out on the couch. "Why thank you beautiful Lily." Remus smiled and put his arms around her waist. Lily blushed but smiled and giggled in what Remus thought was a cute way. They would maybe be more than friends some day…Remus hoped. 'Maybe,' He thought. 'I should tell her.' "Lily?"

"Yes?"

"I'm a werewolf…" He whispered in her ear.

A/N: Hahahahaha. How evil I am. Lol, just kidding. I haven't written in a LONG time…sorry if the story sucks. Flames are welcome, I need something to burn my crumpled up sheets of paper from writing failed poetry. : )
