A/N: Hello everyone, Miss Kat here(: Ready for chapter two? But first! Important Info: James is in 4th year; Albus is in 3rd. Just to clear that up. Ok, on with the story!

"Bye Mom! Bye Dad!" Oh my god. Oh my god! OH MY GOD! Finally, I got to follow in my brothers footsteps. It was my turn to board the train, my turn to find a compartment, and at last, it was my turn to go to Hogwarts.

•••

I took all of five steps onto the train before my spirits fell. My two older brothers, James and Albus, had both gone off with their friends, not bothering to pay any attention to their little sister. Get a hold of yourself, Lily! You don't need them. But all off the compartments were full of old friends, perfectly happy in their own tightly knit groups. No room for a lonely firstie... I bit my lip and began to walk along the train's narrow corridors when I spotted another girl about my age, looking just as clueless and lost as I must have looked no more than ten seconds earlier. Feeling slightly relieved that I wasn't the only firstie stuck without a compartment, I took a deep breath and walked up to her.

"Hi, I'm Lily and I'm new here and I don't have anywhere to sit so I was wondering if you wanted to go and find a compartment."

I said all of this very fast; when it came to making friends I was nearly as shy as Al. Popularity was James forte, not mine. Her eyes, green but nothing like the familiar warm emeralds of my fathers, stared back at me, looking me over. She seemed to be trying to figure out who the hell I was, or perhaps what I had just tried to say. Then, the girls face lit up and she smiled.

"Sure!" she replied, beaming.

"I think there will be some empty ones at the back of the train; no one ever sits back there."

"Cool," she said, as we walked through the train, finally finding an empty compartment. Once we sat down, she faced me once more and said, "I'm Miya, I'm new too. God, I thought I would just be standing there forever!"

I soon found that Miya was very easy to talk to, and we were instant friends.

"My older brothers ditched me and I had no clue where I was going to sit. Thank Merlin I ran into you!"

"Same here. I probably would've ended up in the teachers' compartment!"

The sentence sparked a question into mind.

"You have older brothers too?"

When she replied, there was ice in her voice.

"No, just one. We're twins, but he's nearly as bossy as my father."

I could tell I had hit a nerve so I dropped the subject. For the rest of the train ride we talked, laughed, and ate enough chocolate frogs to last a lifetime. The compartment became quiet, however, when I noticed that Miya had stopped laughing, and was now staring from one of her chocolate frog cards to me and back to the card again.

"You're a Potter," she said slowly, turning the card around to reveal my father, smiling politely back at me. I flushed bright red, immensely embarrassed. Ever since my Dad had defeated Voldemort and became an Auror, he was even more popular than he was before.

"Yeah…." I mumbled, staring at the floor. However, when I looked up, her face was frozen in not a look of mocking but of envy. What was her problem with her family, I wondered, that made her wish for another's?

I made a mental note to find out just who her parents were, but I wouldn't be nosy. I didn't want to lose my only friend so early in the year. Besides, the train was slowing down, and as we turned around the bend, a large castle came into view. At last, I had made it to Hogwarts.

A/N: So, enjoying life from the POV of the fabulous Miss Lily Luna Potter? I know I am! If you are too, a review would be most lovely(: Tootles!
