Lily Evans looked up from her book as her fuming best friend, Rachel Jay,
entered her train compartment, slamming the door closed behind her. She
tried to hold back her laughter when she saw Rachel's electric blue hair,
and snorted into her hands.
Rachel rounded on her friend.
"You think it's funny too don't you?" she snapped angrily "I'm supposed to be Gryffindor's Quiddich Captain. I'm supposed to be taken seriously and Sirius 'I think I'm too cool for school' Black has done THIS to my hair!" Rachel looked close to tears.
Lily got up from her seat and put her arms around her friend.
"Aww Rach. I missed you too."
Rachel laughed and returned the hug her friend was giving her.
James Potter crossed the magical barrier and greeted the sight of Platform 9 ¾ with open arms and a smile. He boarded the scarlet engine with a sparkle in his eyes that reflected in the shiny 'Head Boy' badge that was pinned to his robes.
He wandered down the narrow corridor. A few fifth year girls passed him and giggled. He shot them a 100-galleon smile, only making them blush and giggle even more, and continued down the train. He stopped outside one compartment and listened at the door. Deciding this was the compartment he was looking for, he puffed out his chest and opened the door.
Sirius was on the floor gasping for breath. His eyes widened at the arrival of his oldest and best friend. Immediately he pounced on him.
"Prongs! Where have you been? What have you been doing? Who have you been doing?"
James laughed. He'd missed this.
"I've just got here Sirius! Calm down! Y'alright Moony? Wormtail?" he greeted the other Mauderers and, after throwing Sirius off him, sat down next to Remus.
"Congratulations Lils! I knew you'd get Head Girl." Rachel praised her friend.
"You're the one that need congratulating. You're Quiddich Captain. I'm amazed it wasn't Potter."
"His shenanigans with the Mauderers probably let him down there. I mean Remus is ok, but Pettigrew, Black and Potter. They're just." Rachel made a face. "Especially Peter. Why does he hang around them anyway?"
Lily laughed. "What are we gonna do about this hair of yours Rach?" she asked.
"I dunno, but I think I'll have to at least straighten it. I look like a demented poodle!"
Lily grinned. "Ok, stay still and close your eyes." She got out her wand and performed a straightening charm on Rachel's hair. She then rummaged in her bag and found her compact mirror, transfiguring it into a full-length mirror she instructed her friend to turn around and open her eyes. Rachel was shocked. Her shoulder length curls had become poker straight and reached halfway down her back. She smiled. The blue hair didn't look so bad now, infact, it looked pretty cool.
"I think I'll go and thank Sirius for his present." She smirked.
Before Lily could stop her, she darted out of the compartment and down the corridor. After putting the compartment back the way she had found it, Lily ran after her friend.
Sirius had just finished telling the 'Blue Hair' story to James who couldn't stop laughing.
"Not clever mate! That Rachel's got a temper on her!"
"I know, but she's hot! Especially when she's angry. How else was I supposed to get her attention?" Sirius smirked
"Well," Peter squeaked up "You could try just talking to her."
Remus guffawed. James burst into fresh giggles again. Sirius just stared at him, open-mouthed.
"Wormtail," Remus choked out between chuckles. "Sirius doesn't talk. He takes."
Sirius grinned broadly. He did have a track record of having had the most girls at Hogwarts. He'd had nearly all of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Slytherin nearly twice through and a small portion of Gryffindor were yet to be his. Infact, that small portion was entering his compartment at that moment. He looked up as Rachel and Lily entered the compartment.
