"Finally back on the Hogwarts express." Sirius Black said sitting down in the marauders usual compartment.

"Oh, it's been too long since we've been on this train." James Potter said, sitting across from Sirius.

"It hasn't been that long you dolt." Said Remus Lupin with his head stuck in a book.

"Yes it has…" Sirius started, but James held up a hand to silence him. He could hear voices. Girl's voices.

"Lily, there is no other compartments, we have to." One of the voices said pleadingly.

"No, I'm not going in there. Not if he is in there." Lily's voice said stubbornly. James pretended to look hurt.

"Fine you can go share a compartment with Luciouse Malfoy. I'm going in." A third voice said. James's hand quickly flew quickly to his hair, as the compartment door slid open. There, in the doorway, stood Aimee Loreina, Sarah Henderson and a very annoyed looking Lily Evans.

"Hi boys." Aimee said sitting down next to Sirius, who sat a little closer to her than necessary.

"Hey Sarah." Said Remus overexcited by Sarah being there.

"Oh, um…Hi Remus." She said blushing.

"Lily, how are you? You are looking spectacular as usual." James said offering her a seat.

"Oh save it Potter." Lily said rudely. She then shot a dirty look at Aimee and Sarah who were smirking at her.

James smiled at the girls and said,

"Come of it Lily. You know you love me!"

"The only one that loves you, Potter, is yourself. What with that showing off. It makes me sick." Lily replied indignantly.

"I do not love myself." James muttered and stalked out of the compartment.

"Lily, we all no you like him. He openly flirts with you, why don't you just go out with him?" Aimee said when James had left.

"I DO NOT LIKE HIM" Lily screamed making everyone but Aimee jump. They had been best friends for ages, she had gotten used to Lily's moods by now.

"Calm down Lily, I am just pointing out the obvious. Every one can see it. But if you feel that way then I believe you. OK." Aimee said in a calming voice.

"Hey Aimee you want to come for a walk?" Sirius asked offering her his hand.

"Sure, are you OK Lily?" Aimee said.

"Yeah I'm fine, you go." Lily said in a breathless voice. Aimee took Sirius's hand and they walk out of the compartment talking.

Lily settled herself down to read a book and was only half aware of the closeness between Sarah and Remus.

They arrived at the school at about half past six and when they got inside they took their seats at the table and waited the sorting to begin.
