"Ring, ring…ring, ring" sounded Lily's alarm clock. Lily reached out a hand and quickly hit the snooze button for the second time that morning. It was the morning of the first of September, and Lily was having a little trouble getting up early to catch the train to school after the long summer break.
Half an hour and a broken clock later, Lily finally got up to the sound of her mother banging on the door. "Wake up, Lily! You need to have breakfast before you leave!" Ginny then hurried away to help Albus, who had also just woken up and was having a little trouble juggling his broom, owl, and half-packed school trunk down the stairs. Albus was the captain and the star chaser of the Griffindor quidditch team. With his quiddich-toned body and the signature Potters' messy black hair that never seemed to lie flat, he was always popular with the ladies.
"All right, all right," Lily grumbled as she rolled out of bed. Lily looked around her room, taking in the posters of her favorite muggle icons (the soccer player David Beckham and the movie star Channing Tatum), the purple walls that she had spent a laugh-filled day painting with her mother, Ginny, and the bookshelf mounted above her desk, filled with all of her favorite books, both of the muggle and wizard variety. Thinking of leaving it for four months it until she came home for the Potter family's annual Christmas party was tough, but Lily loved Hogwarts and was looking foreword to being back in the big, stone castle with all of her good friends.
Unlike her older brother, Lily was already packed and ready to go. All she needed to do was throw on a pair of tight dark denim jeans, a cute white lacy baby doll top, and her new wedges; put back the bangs of her long and loosely curled naturally red hair with a few bobby pins; and outline her piercing green eyes--that had already caught so many boys' attention at Hogwarts for the past five year- with some soft gray eyeliner, and she was ready to go.
"LILY, WE REALLY, REALLY NEED TO GO!" Albus called up the stairs. Lily grabbed a piece of toast on her way out the door and hopped into the waiting car.
"Are we meeting the Weasley clan at the station?" Lily asked her parents. Lily was good friends with Hugo, her cousin, and she was looking forward to seeing him after the Weasley family's long vacation to the States. Rose would be there as well since she was in her 7th year with Albus.
"Yes," Harry answered, "we are going to meet them on the platform."
********
Twenty minutes later, they finally reached Kings Cross, and with a little maneuvering, Lily and Albus were able to get all their belongings onto their trolleys and make their way to platform 9 ¾. As the family crossed through the " brick wall" and onto the platform, they were greeted by the stares and excited whispers that always followed them while in the wizarding community and came with the fact that Lily's father, Harry, had saved the lives of just about everyone by killing Lord Voldemort in his 7th year at school. Lily was used to all the attention by now, but she still found it annoying and hated the fact that she never knew if people at school liked her for who she was or because of the fact that being the daughter of a hero practically made her a celebrity.
"LILLYYYYYYYYY,' someone shouted. Everyone on the platform turned to stare at the loud teenage girl who was currently making a fool of herself by screaming and running down the platform like a madwoman. Truth be told, she really was not a mad woman; she was actually the girl known to Lily Potter as "My best friend" or "Lexi" for short.
Lexi was the type of girl whom all the girls loved to hate and the type of girl whom all the guys just loved; and she definitely had the looks to go with her titles. She had endless legs that were always clad in stilettos, a perfect year-round tan, long blonde hair and eyes that were as piercing blue as Lily's were green. Although she was one of the beauties of the school, Lexi's passion for quidditch was just as strong as her passion for shoes, and she played chaser with Albus on the Griffindor team.
"I think I want to avoid the reunion, so I'm going to get onto the train and find my friends," Albus hastily said to his parents with a hint of a grin on his face. He quickly said good-bye to his parents and stepped onto the train.
Lily ran up to Lexi and gave her a huge, picture-perfect hug, making it seem like they had been apart for years rather than the few weeks it had been since Lily had visited her house. The two girls were quickly caught up in catching up and hardly noticed that the Potter family's arch enemies had just crossed onto the platform until they heard a group of girls rush by them to surround the Malfoys, or to be more specific, the Malfoys' son Scorpius. The girls quickly turned to see where they were headed, and their eyes narrowed to see whom they were flocking to.
Scorpius was the guy counterpart of Lexi when it came to looks and charm with the opposite sex. He had an amazing body (complete with washboard abs, biceps that showed through his muscle-fit polos, and a razor-shaped jaw line). To go along with the whole look, he had shaggy white blonde hair and stormy gray eyes that the girls of Hogwarts claim you can drown in. The whole picture was complete with the fact that he was captain of his own quidditch team (Slytherin, of course), and it was rumored that he was going to be Head Boy this year.
**************
Scorpius and the Potters kept to themselves while at school, only confronting when on the quidditch pitch or in class (he was in 7th year with Albus and Rose ). They would have a perfectly neutral relationship if it were not for the fact that Scorpius seemed to find it funny to play a mean trick on Lily. When she was in her 2nd year and he was in his 3rd' he told her that a certain handsome 5th year named David was in love with her and that she should tell him right away how she felt about him. Innocent little Lily was instantly taken with David and had marched right up to him in the great hall to announce to him that she was in love with him as well and that she would indeed love to be his girlfriend. Lily was humiliated and crushed when David had politely told her that he did not, after all, have any special feelings for her, though he did tell her that he thought that she would grow up to be a beautiful girl. Of course, Lily never has a problem getting guys now, but after that day Lily could never stand to be around that dratted Scorpius.
**************
Lily and Lexi quickly said good bye to the Potter family and hurried after Albus onto the train to find their other good friend, Lindsey . (They were not so secretly called "The Triple L's" by most of the school). Lily also secretly wanted to escape the deep gray eyes of Scorpius who was oddly staring after Lily as if he had something to say to her.
"Whoops, we forgot about the meeting with the Weasleys!!!" Lily exclaimed to Lexi as they were looking for their friend.
"Oh well, you spend way too much time with that cousin Hugo of yours as it is!" Lexi replied.
Lily and Lexi quickly found Lindsey in the compartment that the three girls had shared on every trip on Hogwarts Express. The girls had been thrown together from the time they were first years, when James--Lily's other older brother-- whose parents had stuck him with the task of making sure Lily got on the train safely, grabbed the first confused- looking first years he saw and stuck them all into a compartment together. The girls had been instant friends, and James took full responsibility for having started their strong friendship.
Lindsey was the most studious and responsible of the group. She excelled at making sure that her friends stayed out of getting into too much trouble, while still happening to end up in her fair share of sticky situations. The other two affectionately called her "Mother" when she annoyed them with her calls of " Have you guys finished your potions essays yet?"and even though she acted like she was twenty-six, not sixteen, the girls always had lots of fun times together. With her long brown hair, honey-colored eyes and Latin-like coloring, she too was a target for lots of boys, but she was a lot more careful than Lexi about which of the boys she chose to hang with.
"Oh god, Lindsey, we have missed you sooo much! It's a bummer that you just HAD to spend all your summer with your parents in France!" Lily exclaimed when she saw Lindsey in the compartment.
"Ya girl, you'd better have some good stories to share with us, and you know what I'm talking about," Lexi added with a wink.
"Of course I do. How could I go to France and not have any good stories?!?" Lindsey laughed back. The girls were instantly sucked into another fit of sharing about their summers until the train started moving, and Lily had to leave for her prefect meeting because she was prefect for the second year in a row.
"And don't forget to tell us who the Heads are this year," Lexi called after Lily as she was closing the compartment door. "You know how I like men with power."
"Sure thing," Lily called back, smiling as she walked down the train's corridor.
