It was September 1st, and Platform 9 ¾ was quite crowded, as all the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry were getting ready to depart for another year at school. The two girls had already said their goodbyes and farewells, but yet Lily had told her mother that she would wait for her cousin to arrive, before boarding the train. Daisy Darling, Lily's cousin from America, was transferring to Hogwarts, because of personal issues she had been going through during the last year. She was in the same year as Lily and her best friend, Riley Parker, a girl with short, straight brown hair and piercing blue eyes, and since Dumbledore had already sorted her into Gryffindor, the girls were excited knowing that they were finally going to share their dorm with another normal girl. Not only did they share their dorm with two very snobby girls, but they were also the presidents of the James Potter and Sirius Black fan clubs. So now all they had to do was wait for their new roommate, and pray that the Marauders wouldn't spot them. After about 5 minutes Daisy was potted heading their way.
" Daisy, it's so nice to finally meet you, I'm Lily's friend, Riley Parker, and when she told me about you transferring to Hogwarts I was overjoyed." Riley greeting," Finally we're are going to have a normal roommate." And with that they hugged each other
" It's nice to meet you too, Riley." Daisy replied, as she hugged Lily
Just so you know, Daisy Darling was a slender girl who had long slightly wavy, brown hair past her shoulder blades, and very deep hazel eyes.
They had just finished the get acquainted greetings and small talk when their conversation came to a crashing halt. It couldn't have been more than a second when Lily and James locked eyes. That's when she saw him nudge the other two boys, and like that, they'd been found.
" Okay you guys, I know we're trying to carry these very heavy trunks but-" Lily started, but Riley interrupted
" We've been spotted, haven't we?" She questioned, and Lily nodded quickly glancing into the crowd nervously, noticing that the Marauders were indeed heading their way.
" Spotted?" Daisy repeated confused
" No time," Lily replied, as she looked around for an opening that they could throw themselves into so that they might escape," The Marauders are coming."
" No, we're already here." A very masculine voice replied
Daisy turned around to find the voice belonged to a very hot boy, who looked at about their age. He had very messy jet-black hair and hypnotic hazel eyes. There were also two other very nice looking boys behind him. One had black shaggy hair, with piercing blue eyes. The other had brown spiky hair, with silver eyes.
" Leave us alone!" Riley said warningly," We're are not going to let you ruin our train ride this year." And Lily nodded in agreement
" Ah come on Evans, Parker," The same manly voice spoke," we never ruin your train ride. We just add a little adventures." At this Lily rolled her eyes
" Whatever, last year you glued us to our seats." Lily stated, and Riley shook her head
" What's going on?" Daisy was lost
" Well, well, who is this?" came a knew voice, this time from the shaggy haired boy
" Sirius you leave my cousin alone." Lily demanded, as James, the one with the messy hair, kept trying to wrap his hands around her waist
" Relax Evans, I was just checking her out." Sirius replied, grinning wolfishly
" Excuse me, but I don't even know you." Daisy stated, putting her hands on her hips
" Are you from America, love?" He asked, twirling a piece of Daisy's hair between his fingers
" Yes, I am," Daisy replied, as she swatted his hand away from her," What is your deal?" she asked, as the train's whistle blew
" We have to get on the train." Riley stated, glancing at Remus with a hint of a smile," Bye you guys." And with that all three girls took off toward the Hogwarts Express
They immediately boarded the train, and began searching for an empty compartment before the Marauders could see them again. It didn't take them long before the found one and bolted themselves inside.
" Okay, now can someone fill me in on why a boy I don't even know tried to get me to second base?" Daisy asked, quite a bit freaked out
" Those were the Marauders, a group of guys who are basically born to play pranks and stalk us. Their names are James Potter, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin." Riley explained
" Usually, it's just James with me and Remus with Riley, but now that you're here it's practically written in stone that Sirius is going to want you." Lily stated
" Well, what are we going to do about it?" Daisy asked, and that's when a tremendous knocking came on the door," Sweet Mary, what on earth is their problem?"
" That isn't the Marauders." Riley replied, looking a bit scared
" They may be annoying and a little pushing, but the person on the other in of that door sounds violent." Lily declared, and that's when the door finally burst open revealing Malfoy and his cronies to be standing in the doorway.
" This is our compartment, leave." Malfoy snarled, and Daisy looked taken aback
" I don't know who you are, and I don't care to be quite honest, but you a most certainly not going to kick us out of our compartment." Daisy stated matter-of-factly
" Excuse me, who are you?" Malfoy asked, smirking when he saw Daisy
" None of your business." Daisy replied, and that's when her charm shook off
" Well, it doesn't matter." Malfoy stated, " This is our compartment so take the freak and the mudblood with you on your way out." And that's when Daisy had about enough of this guy.
He never even saw it coming, but soon he was on the floor holding his nose. She had punched him, and Lily and Riley jerked her back.
" What are you doing?" Lily asked," Do you want to get expelled before school even starts."
" Oh come on Lil, she won't get expelled and that was bloody awesome." Riley stated, at this moment the Marauders had been walking through the hallway of the train and seen what had happened
" Are you girls alright?" Remus asked, as the boys rushed to the scene
" We're fine." Lily replied, putting her hands on her hips
" Well let go back into your compartment, let Malfoy cool down from his embarrassing defeat." James suggested and the girls nodded, as they were walking inside their compartment Sirius made sure to step on Malfoy's hand, and then give a little chuckle
For the remainder of the train ride the boys got better aquainted with Daisy, and she wasn't as freaked out as she had been about the whole situation before. Soon the train came to a halt, and despite the protests from the girls, the Marauders decided that they'd better escort the ladies to the castle in their carriage incase Malfoy and his cronies arrive again.
