Three girls strutted down the corridor of the Hogwarts Express, their trunks dragging closely behind them. One of the girls had vibrant red hair and brilliant green eyes. She adorned a shiny silver badge on her dark robes. To her left was a petite girl with short blonde hair that went a little bit past her shoulders and piercing blue eyes. She had a certain bounce to her step. And to her left, was another girl, with dark hair that fell in perfect waves down her shoulders. She was walking with the upmost poise and grace, confidence radiating off of her every step she took.
"None of these are empty," said the frustrated redhead.
"I told you Lily. We should have just sat with the boys," answered the blonde.
"So they can annoy the hell out of us? No thank you Cas. I, for one, would like to catch up on some much needed sleep." Lily turned to face the other girl which was staring avidly into another compartment. "Mar? Marlene? You okay?"
The girl snapped out of her thoughts. "Better them than the Slytherins," she said in disgust, jerking her trunk around. Dorcas followed. Lily peered into the window to see whom she was looking at. She caught the eyes of none other than Regulas Black who was smirking back at her. With a scowl on her face, she rushed after her two other friends.
Four boys were sitting lazily inside the compartment. Having gone on their midnight escapade the night before, the boys were all presumably tired. One of which, was already snoring with his head against the window.
"I still can't believe Dumbledore gave it to you instead of Remus, James," said the boy with black, shaggy hair.
"You better believe it baby. Dumbledore gave it to the man with the most character," James said wiggling his brows and pointing to himself.
Sirius scoffed. "Your detention records thus far sure proved that. Init right Peter?"
"All I know is, Evan's will flip a shit once she finds out," said the blonde boy sitting across Remus.
As if on cue, there was a knock on the compartment door and in walked Lily Evans, Marlene Mckinnon, and Dorcas Meadowes.
"Well, well. If it isn't Dorcas Meadowes," Sirius laughed.
"In the flesh," She smiled back as she bounced over to hug him.
"Mind if we sit here boys?" Lily asked. "The rest are full."
James took his legs off the seat beside him, "Knew you would come around eventually Evans."
Lily rolled her eyes. "Whatever you say Potter. Mind waking up sleepy over there. We got our heads meeting to go to."
Sirius laughed. "Oh, that wont be neccessary."
"What are you on about Black?" Lily asked suspiciously eyeing him and Peter who was battling a grin, and losing.
"I think I'll just let James over here tell you," said Sirius, winking at James.
James looked amused, "Remus isn't the head boy Evans."
"Then who is?" Lily questioned, fear forming inside of her.
James ran a hand through his messy black hair. "I am."
Lily stood speechless. Everyone was staring at her. Lily, outraged beyond words, screamed out of frustration before storming out of the compartment.
A startled Remus jolted up, searching frantically for the source of the scream.
"Good to know you're still alive Remus," Marlene said, smiling.
Remus grinned sheepishly, "Barely. So I'm guessing she found out about the news."
"Took it better than we expected actually," Sirius commented.
"Well she is mad. You better not make it worse by starting off on the wrong foot Prongs. You have a meeting to go to." Without another word, James dashed out of the compartment.
"They are so going to kill each other," said Dorcas.
