Author's Note: Just started writing this today, but I have a whole bunch of ideas for it! Please review!

Disclaimer: All characters and settings from the Harry Potter series belong to JK Rowling, not me. I'm borrowing them.
Lily Evans stepped onto Platform 9 ¾ for the first time rather apprehensively. Her parents had to drop her off alone because they both had something already going on.

She sighed dejectedly. You would think that they would have been able to find the time to see their youngest daughter leave for wizarding school for an entire year!

Her mom had been planning on coming, but Petunia decided that she just HAD to go to her friend's birthday party early, because, "She's my friend, Mom, and when you have friends you have certain responsibilities!"

This was of coarse said with a significant glance thrown in Lily's direction. Like it was her fault that she got accepted into a school for witches and wizards.

Lily was still finding the whole thing surreal, having just discovered that magic does actually exist!

She was interrupted from her thoughts by someone tapping her on the back.

"Hi, I'm Remus Lupin!"

Lily turned around to see a thin, pale boy with soft brown eyes, "Oh hi! I'm Lily Evans! Is this your first year too?"

"Yeah. Want to go pick a compartment?" he motioned towards the waiting train. Almost everyone has already boarded.

"Ooo yeah, we'd better get going."

They stepped into the train and began searching for a seat as the train began to move. The only places left were in a compartment with 4 people already in it.

"Mind if we sit here?" Remus inquired politely.

"Sure, feel free!" said the nearest person, a young boy with a lopsided grin and dark, shaggy hair, "I'm Sirius Black, and you are..."

"Lily Evans"

"Remus Lupin"

"I'm James Potter," said Sirius's seat mate, who had unruly black hair and hazel eyes, "This is Peter Pettigrew," he continued, pointing to the but sitting opposite him, with mousy hair and a pointed nose.

The remaining occupant spoke up, "I'm Severus Snape," he said softly. His lank, dark hair hung limply around his face and his dark eyes glittered as he stared fixedly at Lily.

She shifted uncomfortably in her seat, and coughed slightly. James noticed and reached forward, poking Severus in the shoulder.

"Do you mind? You're making Lily uncomfortable."

Severus switched his sharp gaze to James and narrowed his eyes, "Why don't you keep your hands to yourself, Potter?" he replied coolly, "I believe Lily would speak for herself if she really minded."

"No one cares what you believe, so either keep your eyes and your thoughts to yourself, or you can leave right now!" James stood up aggressively.

"I'm quite comfortable right here, thank you."

"Too bad for you it would be a lot more comfortable for everyone else if you were out in the hall," Sirius and Peter stood up behind James, as if to verify what he said.

"You guys, it's ok! Let him be, alright?" Lily tried to make the three angry boys sit back down.

Everyone ignored her. Even Remus seemed to prefer for Sirius to leave.

Severus picked up a copy of the Daily Prophet and started to read.

Without another word, James picked Severus up by the front of his robes and threw him bodily out into the hallway, then shut and locked the door.

"Nice work, mate!" congratulated Sirius, "If he had stayed in here any longer some of his greasiness might have rubbed of on me." All of the guys in the compartment laughed nastily.

Lily however, grabbed her bag and jumped up.

James leaned forward and grabbed her wrist, "Where are you going? There's plenty of room right here," he said, patting the space besides him with a wink.

Lily tore her arm out of his grip, turned and ran, slamming the door on her way out.

Behind her in the compartment were four stunned boys, with their mouths hanging open.

A/N: So there we go! I know it's really short, but hopefully the other chapters will be a lot longer! Hope you liked it and I will try to have the next chapter up soon! Remember to review!
