"What the hell Sirius!" They heard Emily scream from down the hall.

Lily rolled her eyes and took off down the hallway. James fallowing Lily example spend down the hall, but having longer legs and more athletic than her he soon passed her. As Lily got to their compartment see saw Sirius upside down floating in the air Emily's wand pointed at him with an angry expression on her face. James was caught between trying to get Emily to put Sirius down and laughing at the scene. Everyone else was either laughing or in shock.

"Falks put Sirius down now!" Lily ordered.

"No," she said calmly almost simply. Lily giving up on trying to pros wade her to put him down turned about to ask why Emily was holding Sirius in the air when James asked. "What you aren't going to threaten her or convince her or something." Suggesting to do one of the thing she would have down if it were any other student at Hogwarts.

"Have you ever tried to threaten or bribe Emily?" James shock his head. "Lets just say it doesn't work in the least and if I want to convince her to put in on the ground again I have to know what he did." She turned her attention back to their friends. "What did he do now?"

"Well Snivelers came insulted us and ran off. And as he was leaving Padfoot throw a hex at him and it hit Emily and she hit her head into the down shattering the glass." Remus explained.

James and Lily both looked at the door. It was in fact broken. James turned and asked, "Emily are you ok that must of hurt?" Lily looked and saw James was right; Emily had a big cut in her forehead that was bleeding down her face, although you could tell by the look in her face.

"Fawks put him down so Mikie can fix the cut." Isabelle was training to be a healer.

"Not until Sirius says he's sorry." She said calmly. She didn't sound in pain, they noticed.

"It was an accident, why should I say sorry for trying to hit Scum ball?" Sirius ranted loudly.

"Because your spell hit her not 'Scum ball'." Reasoned Remus.

"Fine, whatever. I'm sorry. You happy now?"

"No, not really. I could use a piece of chocolate." Said Emily placing Sirius on the ground. "Has any one seen my jacket?"

"Yeah, it's over here." Hannah pointed to the far corner of the compartment. "Fawks, you are really random some times you know that."

"No you twit, my chocolate is in my jacket pocket, duh." Proclaimed an impatient Emily pulling out a HUGE bar of chocolate.

"Fawks get over here already. Mikie as to fix that cut of your's." Said an impatient Lily. Emily walked over and sat in the seat next to Isabelle. Is grabbed her want and muttered an incantation. Slowly Emily's cut closed up and disappeared.

"Thanks Mikie" Emily said as she got up and walked over to Hannah. "I am sorry for calling you a twit, but you know how it is when some one hexes you into a glass door before you've had you chocolate." Hannah and soon everyone laughed.

They hold deal seemed to be forgotten and everyone was soon doing their own thing; Remus, James, and Abby started a exploding snaps game. Emily and Lily were both reading. Katie and Sirius went to find to snack trolley. And Isabelle and Hannah were discussing their summers.

James was looking at the game he was soon going to win, when the door to the compartment opened. He looked up just to see Katie and Sirius return. Then went back to the game about to move. All of a sudden something banged into his head causing the snaps to explode. "What?" he shouted at Sirius who made an innocent face and pointed at Katie.

James rolled his eyes just to get hit again. "Stop that!"

"Yeah Katie go-." Sirius also got hit. Isabelle and Hannah stopped their conversation and began to laugh. Abby was literally rolling on the floor laughing. Lily and Remus just rolled their eyes. Emily chuckled quietly not even looking up from her book.

"No seriously who is throwin-" James was interrupted by another piece of candy hitting him in the back of the head. Abby's laughter got even louder only to get hit.

"Katie really stop-" Open fire on everyone.

"Its- not- me" she said between blows.

"EMILY!" screamed Lily.

"Yes," she said as she put down her book and stared back at Lily's deathly glare. James and Sirius were surprised that she could look strait into Lily's glares with out flinching, as both of them had reserved them many times.

"Please, stop now." Lily said with much more courtesy than she would have given any of the marauders if it had been them.

"Ok," she replied with a large grin on her face. And for the second time this train ride she took out her wand. With a quick swish and flick the candy stopped pounding into people's heads. Sirius bent down and picked up one of the pieces that had hit him and ate it.

"Sirius you are so gross." complained Hannah as Remus nodded his head in agreement. Emily had already went back to her book. Isabelle got out her sketch pad as Abby watched. James and Sirius had another candy war. Katie looked at out the window and already started to zone out. Everything was back to normal and the rest of the train ride went without many more problems.

When they finally arrived Lily and James hurried to help everyone get off the train. When the lest finally joined them, the first years were just getting called over by Hagrid. Upon seeing him Lily and Emily ran over.

"Lily, 'mily" He pulled them into a huge bar hug.

"Good to see you too Hagrid, but- can't - breathe."

"Oh, sorry." he said releasing them. "Lily Hear Girl I see good for you." (A/N sorry I said speek Hagrid to save my life)

Lily blushed. And muttered a 'thank you'. "Ok, see ya both at 'da castle." The girls nodded. "First years this way!" they heard him yell before heading over to the carriages. They both smiled remembering their first time at Hogwarts. Both being muggle born they did not know what do expect. Lily remembered meeting Emily on the train and how relieved she felt that she wasn't the only one that didn't know what was going to happen.

Lily POV

I stepped off of the train and looked up at the castle it was so ominous and uninviting but the light in the window were so contradicting. The outside was cold, stone, and had a dead feeling while the inside was warm, comforting, and jolly felling. It was so intimidating. I could feel fear start to swell up in my chest. I started to even question if I even belonged here.

I looked over at Emily how stood next to me. The smile on Emily's face did not help suppress my fear, but it did intrigue me. What makes her so calm? In fact that question bugged her for years as Emily was always calm, amused actually, when put in a situation that would scare most sane people.

"First Years this way," The furry large men directed. He was smiling but still looked very scary. Emily turned away from the castle and nudged me forward encouraging her to keep going. Emily was always there to give me that extra push. I sighed deeply and started towards the odd tall man with the lantern. You wanted to come here remember, I told my self.

3rd person POV

Emily saw Katie going to a carriage with her fellow Ravenclaw Melissa and Katie's brother Jasper that was in Gryffindor. Melissa like Jasper, and of course Jasper like Melissa, but she was too shy to say any thing. And Jasper being Jasper thought he would get rejected, so another perfect match, Emily know, Katie was scheming to get together. Hannah had found the other Emily and they headed to a different carriage with Abby and Isabelle. So that left Lily, the marauders and herself.

Lily seemed to also notices this and looked over at Emily. They both made a god-please-help-us look. And then started towards a carriage.

The boys were already in when they finally reached it. Remus reached down and helped them up. It was rather crowed all five of them. Emily glared at Lily how sat spaciously on the opposite bench from her with Remus. Lily chuckled and said, "you snooze you lose." Emily's eyes narrowed. Suddenly her whole face lit up with an idea.

"Sirius could you do me a favor?" she said in the sweetest voice she could do without being sincere.

Curious Sirius agree. "Sure, what?" Stupid Sirius, Lily thought. Lily know what ever Emily planned it was either funny or hurtful or most likely both.

Emily leaned over and whispered in his ear. Sirius bark a laugh loudly. "Your dialogical"

"Thank you." Sirius got up and grasped Lily's hand pulling her off the bence ignoring her yelp of protest. Emily slid into her unoccupied set, while Sirius pushed Lily into James's lap. Sirius, Emily, and Remus laughed loudly as Lily blushed and James smiled. Lily finally got out of James' lap and slid into the set between James and Sirius. After a second of thought she stuck out her hand to Remus. He didn't know what she wanted so warily put his hand out to her. She grasped his firmly and pulled him out of his set and onto James' lap. So she could set comfortably next to Emily. James definitely liked the pervious occupier better then his current one and push Remus off his lap amd onto the floor. Emily turned and high-fived Lily as Remus got off the ground and sat back down on the bench. The game continued like this until Lily nearly cursed Sirius when he refused get out of her lap.

When they finally arrived it had started to rain. Remus conjured a very large umbrella that they all could fit under. They started to head up towards the castle when she noticed Emily was walking in a different direction, She called out to her, "Where are you going Fawks?"

"I'm giving the thestrals a treat. Duh." She explained reaching deep into her rope pocket.

"A what?" Sirius asked baffled.

Emily opened her mouth to answer, but James ran over her. "A horse like creator that only people that has seen some one die can see." His voice was dark as he started out at the horse like things. Lily looked in the same direction, but could not see any thing.

"Oh we learned about those thing a couple years ago didn't we?"

"So you were actually paying attention." Lily teased Sirius. Remus laughed and got an evil glare from Sirius, which only made him laugh harder.

"You see them too." Emily stated not asked James, turn the attention back to him.

"Yeah." he answered quietly looking downward into space. Emily just nodded and petted what looked to be air.

"Come on Emily you'll catch a cold in the rain like that." Lily insisted to Emily. Emily only rolled her eyes and went towards them and the castle.

When they got to the Gryffindor table Abby, Isabelle and Hannah were already sitting there with Emily Pierce. Emily Pierce was called Emily most of the time while Emily Johnson was called by Fawks when it came to friends. Teachers…well it could get very, very confusing. Emily P. had short dirty blond hair, and green eyes. She and Hannah were very close. Emily could be very short tempered and could easily take offence making her hard to share a room with. But she also would stand up for you no matter what and know how to keep a secret. They took the sets by them and waited for the sorting to begin.

"Arg, give me food, give me food." Sirius started to chant.

"Shut it!" snapped Lily. James laughed and Remus rolled his eyes. Emily had already started to talk to Abby. Sirius pouted.

"Anderson, Jason."

"Ravenclaw." loud applause. And so on……

"Welcome new students and welcome back to the old. This is the start of a new year at Hogwarts and want you all to make the best of it. I have but a few words to say be for begin the feast; pickle, marshmallow, flabbergasted." (A/N ok I know bad speach and they were very horribly chosen words, but I couldn't think of any thing sorry) And with that food appeared on the golden plate in front of them.

James started to pill the food onto his plate while Sirius' didn't even reach his plate before landing it into his mouth. Lily, Emily and Remus said "Ew" at almost the same time. Fifteen minutes into the feast Isabelle interrupted everyone conversation. "Look its Peter." She pointed to the portly boy setting half in shadow at the other end of the table.

"I wonder why we didn't see him on the train," James thought out loud.

"IDK." answered Abby. Emily groaned, she hated it when people talked in AIM.

"Maybe……ok I have nothing. Lily?" Isabelle seemed to hope Lily would know a good reason for this strange occurrence.

She rolled her eyes. "Why don't you ask him?" she slightly exasperated. Some times her friends had no common sense at all.

"Aw but Lily I had the best idea of what it could be. It involved pirates, and mermaids, and of course Tinker Bell." No matter what happened Emily found the need to tell a joke.

"What are pirates?"

"What relevance does that have to Peter?" Lily was once again annoyed.

"Duh, Peter Pan."

"Peter's last name isn't Pan." Emily smacked Sirius on the back of his head. "Hey, what was that for?"

"I didn't feel like smacking my own head so I smacked your's." Emily acted like she was explaining why not to eat paste to a two year old.

"James we have some very strange friends." Lily said.

He laughed. "Yes we do."

"But that's why you love us." Explained Sirius.

"Sirius did any one ever tell you that you are very scary."

Sirius made a loud fake gasp, "why Lily you hurt me deeply,"

"Good." Said not only Lily but James as well. Emily could not help but laugh at them with everyone else. Lily blushed and she and James gown in on the laughter.

It was going to be one strange year.

(A/N I am sorry it has been awile but I am trying to be better please review bye)
