Chapter 2: A New Beginning

Lily Evans walked onto the great Hogwarts Express, exactly fifteen minutes early. She placed her trunk in the overhead and smiled, she knew she was very lucky to be here. As a muggleborn she had no idea how her name had been in the list. Her muggle headmistress, she had been accepted to an elite free privet school. She had hated lying – she hated it, lying – but it had almost been worth it, she would talk to a teacher at the school about it. Thankfully, the old foster parent ate it right up. This was the first good thing to happen to her since she was removed from the Durslys; they were her adopted parents after hers gave her away. This was about a month ago, during one of … No, she scolded herself, that stays at the house! She calmed down and looked around.

"This is it." She said to herself, "This is my new home, it has to be."

All at once a shaggy haired eleven-year-old waltzed into the car. He had blue eyes and a wide smile that Lilly assumed never left her face. He had nice green robes with a white – well for some reason pink- shirt.

"Is this car free?" he said, "or do you plan on meeting someone here, a cute girl like yourself."

Lilly blushed, "Yea, the cars free. I don`t know anyone here so…"

The boy smiled, "Well, I can fix that. I`m Sirius, "the boy put out his hand, "Sirius Black. Crap" He finished when he said his last name. He looked at his feet.

"Oh, "She replied, "Well I`m Lillian Evans , but just call me Lily."

Sirius looked up from his feet, "Aren't you concerned about my last name? As I am part of the notouris Black family."

"I don't know what that means." Said Lily in a reply, "I`m a muggleborn."

"Really?" Sirius said, "That's odd, you see my dumb parents only signed me up here because your parents had to sign you up as a baby, and muggles don't have that option. There is no way a muggle could sign you up."

"I don't know how it worked out, I guess we`ll find out." She said, "Don't worry about the last name thing, I don't even have a last name, I made up Evans, well I got it from this book by J. K. Rowling."

Just then a short red-head girl with flat hair and bangs bursted in. She had short hair with bangs and a matching grin. She put her hands on her knees and panted, when she had caught her breath she stood up and smiled. "Thank god!" She then noticed them in the car, "I`m sorry. I stepped into a Slitherin car by accident, and when I innocently dropped a dung bomb, they got upset. I don't know what's up, but they seem to have their wands in a twist."

Lilly laughed, she had read all about the houses with their rivalries. "It's okay, I'm Lilly Evans and this is Sirius B- Sirius." She could have slapped herself, from what he had said, she might have just killed his chance of a friendship with her. Hopefully she didn't notice.

"Cool," the spunky red head replied, "I'm Alice Curter." She thought for a minute. "Wait a sec…. Sirius Black? Is this another slitherin car? Should I be concerned for my safety?"

Crap, she noticed. Lilly thought. Thankfully Sirius didn't seem mad.

"I hope not," he said ," Gryffindor is my preference, course you look more like a 'puff. "

Alice smiled, but the initial suspicion was still there in her eyes. "Okay, well, I`ll believe it when I see it. When it happens , well, welcome to the family."

There was something about Alice's bluntness that calmed Sirius down. It made him want to believe her, so he did. "Okay, just know, I`m not like my family, and if my brothers prolonged exposure to my parents doesn't change anything, he won't be either."

Lilly spoke up, "What's with all of the depressing talk? We are Hogwarts Express , the best school known to magical man! Cheer up guys, give me a smile, what happened to that grin I used to know?" She finished it with a sing song voice.

Alice laughed, "Lilly, what's that from?"

Lily replied," It`s from a muggle musical, the or- my parents took me with my brothers and sisters to see it before I left, a sort of goodbye summer hello school thing."

Sirius gave her a weird look, but seemed to decide to not bring it up.

"You're a muggle born?" Alice said, not bothering to hide her surprise, yet again being blunt.

"Yea," she replied,"don`tbother asking how I'm here, because I don't know."

She shook her head, "No, I was going to but I understand," she then looked at her watch, "well, we be getting there soon, so we`d best get into our robes."
