'The Best of Friends, The Story of Lily and Remus'

Chapter 1- They met

A small redheaded girl sat alone and nervous in a compartment near the end of the scarlet train, staring out the window. Everyone else was outside the train hugging parents goodbye, and meeting up with friends. Her father had insisted that she get on the train early to get a good compartment.

5 minutes until the train left, she checked her watch and resumed looking at the people outside. Someone opened the compartment door, lily jumped.

"May I join you?" the boy asked. He was, like her, a first year, with light brown hair and a pale face and sad grayish yellow eyes. Lily was far to nervous to speak, she just nodded. He sat across from her and moved his trunk in. Lily did not realize she was staring at the boy until he nervously introduced himself.

"Er, hello. I'm Remus" he held out his hand, she shook it. And replied so simple and gracefully;

"Lily."

"You a first year to?" he asked. She nodded, smiling at him warmly, because he to knew of the butterflies that took over her stomach earlier this morning. And trying to cheer him up because, by the look of it something else was wrong too. She sat back, The train began to move. She noticed two nearly identical girls with long dark blonde wavy hair, standing in the door way.

"Hello." lily said trying to be cheerful

"I'm Aurora" said the shorter curvy one with longer hair.

"And I'm Nymph" said the other energetically, they both had the same face and the same really light blue eyes.

"I'm lily" she said and motioned for them to sit. They obliged.

"Remus." Remus said holding out his hand politely. The girls didn't even notice him, he put it down.

"So are you first years too?"

"Um, yes" Two more girls showed up at the door.

"Aurora! Nymph!" said a very tan very blond very thin one, very excitedly. "We just saw the two cutest guys in the entire world!"

"- they're looking for a compartment! Come on!" said a shorter dark haired girl with black eyes and a warm smile.

"This is Em, " introduced Aurora the blond waved. "And ... May" the black haired one half-curtsied

"You should come by later, we're all first years, we'll be bunking together! If we get the same house that is."said nymph.

"Well, we should get back," they stood up, and all waved, and ran back to their compartment. "Come with!" May said, dragging behind. Lily shrugged.

"I'll be back, Remus ok?" he nodded. "You're in charge." he laughed quietly she waved and disappeared with the girls, two compartments down.

"So first year huh?" Em sighed.

"We can all be best friends" Nymph said excitedly. They all nodded "I think we'll be in Griffendor." she said to Aurora.

"Duh!" she replied.

"I think I'll be in ravenclaw" said May.

"I've read about the houses, I think I'll be in ravenclaw too." Lily said less nervous than before. They all nodded and chatted about houses. Then Remus appeared in the door way.

"Lily do you want anything of the cart?" he whispered to her.

"Oh guys this is my friend Remus!" he blushed. They all nodded, acknowledging his existence, but nothing more.

"What's the cart?"She leaned over and asked him quietly while all the girls chatted on.

"Come-on," he led her down the hall back to her compartment where a there was a plump witch with a trolley full of candy's she'd never heard of. Remus insisted she try some, so she bought a bit, and they sat back down

Two more boys arrived at the door, both with black hair, though one was messier than the others, and one was longer, and a bit more good looking. Although the other one wasn't ugly, on the contrary they were both quite handsome. The messy haired one looked at lily and rumpled his hair making it even worse.

"Can we join you mate?" the long haired one asked. Remus looked to lily, she nodded. "Thanks" they pulled their stuff in and sat down. "I'm Sirius by the way." he held out his hand

"Lily" she shook it.

"James Potter," the messy haired one said. Holding out his hand she shook it, but he pulled her up and close and winked over his no-wire glasses. "You can call me James." lily let out a sound of disgust and down next to Remus.

After a few moments of awkward silence and bits of dwindling conversation, lily pulled out a book, and with in a few moments had fallen into a light sleep. James and Sirius left after a few minutes to 'go find some action.'

Remus felt something slowly lean onto his shoulder, it was lily, her hair had fallen over her eyes, and she looked soft and delicate, like a porcelain angel, he wiped her hair from her face.

"Hey!" James had just walked back in followed by Sirius. "Hands off! I claim that!"

"Excuse me?" Remus asked, throughly confused "you claim her? How so?"

"Well, I've just decided that, I want her." Remus tried to conceal his laughter.

"Yes really?"

"Yes! So hands off!" Remus just shook his head, and pulled out a book.

"I think what Jamesy here is Trying - and failing - to say, is that he likes that one," Sirius gestured to lily "more than the blonde who threw herself at him" he laughed. James rolled his eyes.

After a moment of chatter they left again, but only after James reminded Remus, a bit more politely, that if he would please, just try not to do anything too nice to her. Sirius just laughed at him, Remus put his arm around her to annoy James who just laughed at him and mumbled something about never being able to get a girl like her.

About four chapters into his book, lily stirred, he lost interest in the book, and became fascinated with her face. She had soft rosy cheeks and her eyes looked beautiful, even closed. He became mesmerized with the sound of her breathing. Her eyes opened slowly, but he just couldn't make himself look away.

"Comfy?" he asked smiling, she realized she was laying on him and she sat up and mumbled an apology. Remus tried to slowly pull his arm off her so she wouldn't notice, but she did and blushed. She pulled up her book to hide her face and slid to the other side of the seat, but she couldn't read, her thoughts were elsewhere.

"So..." she said trying to make simple conversation. He laughed, making her look up from her book.

"Um, sorry 'bout the whole-" he lifted his arm in a loss for words "er... thing..."

"Oh, no really my fault!" she laughed "I shouldn't have laid on you."

"S'ok." he smiled. She felt a little more comfortable.

"What are you reading?"she asked closing her book.

"Oh, um the defense against the dark arts book for the year." he held it up. "What about you?"

"Oh, hogwarts, a history" she slid out of her corner "really fascinating..." she preceded to tell him about the school, he was a good listener. They talked until James came back in, he looked mad.

"What's wrong?" Lily asked.

"Oh I see you're awake," he eyed her "sleep well?" he shot Remus an evil look. She crossed her arms over her chest

"Yes, as a matter of fact," she leaned on Remus, he blushed. "I was very comfy." Remus looked away from James' loathing glare.

"I'm going to find Mr. Lady's man" James said getting up again, and walking out.

"Thanks" lily said sitting up again. They both burst out in laughter.

It was a while before Sirius came back but Jams returned soon, and pretended to read, while actually stealing glances at lily who continued to laugh and joke with Remus, until the train stopped and they all got off, running to boats in the rain, and rowing across the lake ...
