Well Lily you are mistaken.
Chapter 1 – A not so peaceful train ride
Lily POV
I was going to miss home, not Tunie and her horrible boyfriend Vernon, but the peace and quiet. I gave a final wave to my parents and walked through the barrier. The platform was empty, which meant I could wheel my trolley to the luggage compartment at ease. I then went to find a compartment, which took about a minute. It was the usual one that I occupy; it still had the musty old carpet and it still smelt of the Bertie Botts beans that Tay exploded. I was there 30 minutes early so I was going to be alone for a while. I settled into the compartment, resting my head on one of the plush cushions that thankfully smelt like strawberry rather than vomit, and drifted of to sleep.
I awoke as the compartment door slid open but I kept my eyes still closed, not wanting to wake up from my dreams. I felt someone slowly sit beside me and lean closer and closer. I was scared but jerked upright to meet face to face with Remus Lupin. Indeed inches away, so so close, he looked slightly hurt and it made my heart flutter. Hang on - my heart flutter? What is wrong with me, it's Remus. He blushed and tucked a stray hair behind my ear before switching to a seat opposite me. I just stared like an idiot. He had changed over summer; his caramel hair was now golden and slightly straighter, his body was more muscular, with a small scar on his cheek bone, but his amber eyes were still the same; big and beautiful. There was something there that seemed to capture me, mesmerize almost.
"Lily…Lily? Anyone home?" I snapped out of it, realising that he was talking to me.
"Sorry Remus, what did you say?" I had got off myself and looked up at him with interest.
"I said how were your holidays?" He said softly, the corner of his mouth twitching into his lopsided smile, which made me go weak at the knees.
Remus POV
I practically ran to the train looking for my friends, the empty platform creeped out wolf and made me anxious. I looked at my watch again. Damn it, I was 20 minutes early. I leant against the luggage compartment thinking about how to pass the time. Rubbing my painful jaw I headed towards the usual marauder compartment. It was the perfect one really that James had located in our second year; one away from the girls and one away from where the food trolley started, which was just as well because we completely clear it when it gets to us.
As I walked closer I saw that the girl's compartment was slightly open and that Lily was lying snuggled up on the seat. I slipped in, admiring her flaming hair and her pale complexion. Some strands of her hair fell from her ear to in front of her pale lips. I longed to touch them, but knew I couldn't. Wolf spurred me onto do so, but instead I just sat by her and leaned closer to look. As if she sensed intrusion she sat straight upright just centimetres away from me, her emerald eyes wide, and her lips so close I could have just reached out and taken them in mine. But I didn't. I just reached forward and tucked the strand of hair back behind her ear. She looked shocked, which meant I shouldn't have done it. I could feel the chagrin on my face so I looked away and sat opposite her.
Silence followed but she seemed kind of distant.
"So how were your holidays Lily?" I start but she doesn't reply, just gazes at my eyes which was rather uncomfortable.
"Lily ...Lily?" She was starting to set wolf of in panic. She slowly gained light back in her eyes and blinked several times.
"What was that Remus?" Her voice sounded beautiful, it bubbled like water. Wait a minute - her voice is beautiful… did I just think that?
"I said, how were your holidays?" I can't help but smile as I ask her, the lighting was making her eyes twinkle. But as I say it she seems to look at me in a new way, like the way that you do when you want something or someone.
Wolf decided to take over and I slowly leaned towards her and, surprisingly, she mimicked my movements. I could feel her breath on me, she smelt like rose bubble bath and bubblegum, she was so close still, with her eyes locked with mine but our lips millimetres apart when the compartment door clicking open pulled us into reality. I pulled away, leaving her partly stranded leaning forward. Moyra, Tay and Essie lingered slightly before Moyra decided to speak.
"Oh hi Remus, I didn't realise you were in here, anyway, Sirius is looking for you." She moved out of the door way and plonked herself down by Lily, Essie followed suit but nodded to me quickly before sitting. I got a hug from Tay before turning round and saying awkwardly
"It was nice to see you Lily," and slipping from the compartment into the one next door.
Lily POV
My eyes lingered on the place where he had been standing, while Essie and the others were giggling.
"Oh Lily you still fancy him don't you?" Moyra asked sympathetically.
"Yes, she does, but I must say he has grown" Essie added with a wink. I sighed inwardly, if only I didn't sleep talk.
Flashback
"Essie is Lily asleep?"
"Gone, out like a light" Tay said moving away from Lily's sleeping form.
"Maybe we should be going to sleep too" Essie issued.
"Remus" Tay squealed and gripped Essie,
"Moyra, what was that?" Moyra looked over to Lily's bed where her mouth was slightly open.
"Remus!" It came louder this time.
"It is Lily, she's sleep talking." Moyra hissed at the others,
"look." She pointed,
"Remus don't leave, I …I… I have feelings for you!" Lily muttered before turning over. The girls were in stitches, rolling around on the floor.
"F..F..Feelings" snorted Tay through tears of laughter,
"Oh Lily it's called a crush."
End flashback
"Very funny girls now pack it in" I growl looking at them each in turn. They fell silent knowing to stop.
"So Tay, how are you and Peter doing?" Tay jumped to this question, informing us with all the details of their date to a muggle cinema. I had to admit Peter is a wimp but Tay brings out the best in him. He acts much better now when tormented.
"You two are just perfect together," sighed Essie, running a hand through her cropped hair. She was sporting a very soppy look.
"Who do you like Essie? We know Tay is in true love land and that Lily is in denial, but who floats your boat?"
"Me of course!" We all looked round to see the marauders standing in the doorway; Sirius at the front with his shaggy black hair in front of his face, James behind with his glasses lopsided and his hair sticking out at all angles, Peter followed with his baby blue eyes and finally Remus, my Remus. Wait – WHAT? Did I just say he was my Remus? Get a grip Lily, get a grip.
James, who had spoken, waltzed towards Essie before sitting on her knee and trying to look cute.
"Do you wuv me Essie?" He asked pouting at her.
"All right Potter, don't make her feel eternally sick."
"You can hardly talk Black!" James yanked Sirius's leg so that he fell to the floor at Moyra's feet.
"Well hello there Miss Dreams" Sirius smugly said as he looked Moyra up and down.
"You wish Sirius! Don't want what you can't have." Moyra laughed moving to the floor so Peter could sit with Tay. Remus seemed to hover; the only seat left was next to me.
"Sit down Moony my man," Sirius laughed, bringing out a milk bottle. I groaned, what was it with Sirius and games?
"Now, who wants to play magic spin the bottle?" He said cheerily. The others looked perfectly happy about it but me.
"How is it magic Padz?" Remus asked weakly. "Basically Moonington the bottle will scream at you until you do it properly."
"Oh!" Sirius motioned us to sit on the floor so we were in a circle.
"Right lets go!" James said, tapping the bottle with his wand. The bottle span round once and stopped on Essie.
"Right kiss the one over there, the one with long hair," the bottle issued. Essie leaned over to kiss Sirius on the cheek until the last second, when Sirius turned his head to allow his lips to meet hers.
"That's it, get a bit of passion in there!" Cried the bottle as they broke apart. James looked like he wanted to punch Sirius, but he just cheerily tapped the bottle. I ran a hand through my hair and sighed, we were far too old to be playing such games, come on 5th year students!
"To old to be doing this are you? Well, for that you'll have to kiss Goldie over there – on the lips!" I looked at Remus, his face was pale and he was trying not to look at anyone.
"Sirius, what happens if they don't kiss?" Tay enquired.
"Um, you have to other wise something pretty nasty will happen" Sirius replied beaming. Tay, Essie, Moyra and Peter smiled too.
"Moony, man up."
"Err, thanks Wormtail?" I sighed. This wasn't good. Stupid bottle. I turned to Remus who was looking rather concentrated. I tried to shut the others out, looking deep into his gold eyes. I slowly leaned forwards towards him. I could feel his breath on my face; Hot and shallow. I closed my eyes and our lips met.
Remus POV
The world seemed to spin around us. All I could concentrate on was Lily's lips on mine. I felt her hand move in my hair and I leaned closer, my tongue asking permission.
"Cough, cough – errm Lily…" We pulled apart slightly looking at James who had spoken.
"There's no need to snog his face off." Lily gave a small gasp, tears welling up in her eyes as she ran from the compartment. Tay unwound herself from Pete.
"She needs me sweetie, Essie, Moyra you coming?" Essie got up and followed, but Moyra lingered.
"What the hell was that for James, and Sirius, don't even try and say PMS. You may be cute but you have no clue about girls," her voice was quiet, which made Wolf feel threatened. She smiled slightly at me and left the compartment.
"Remus old bean, it looks like Lily likes you" Sirius said, laughing with James. I sighed, truly annoyed about it, and worried for Lily.
"Sirius, a word of advice; Moyra is never going to like you if you carry on treating her friends like that. Same goes to you James!" And with that I left to patrol the corridors.
