2. Chapter 2

Chapter 2: I Have Plenty of Modesty, Thank You Very Much!

Authors Note: So, everyone! I noticed that the first chapter was very short, so to make up for it I uploaded this one straight afterwards! I hope you like the first one; I know it's not great! Have a nice day!

I'm away laughing on a fast camel!

Love, Caroline. ()

"I don't understand," moaned James Potter.

Remus Lupin, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew sighed. They had heard this a thousand times before.

"I mean, what's not to like? I'm stunning, smart and a Chaser on the Quidditch team! Who can resist Quidditch? Who can resist meeeeeee?"

"Clearly, your modesty is not a factor she's complaining about," Remus interjected.

James shot him a death glare. "Shut that large gaping hole you call a mouth and others call a large gaping hole."

"You could try not attacking her with 'Go out with me, Evans?' every time you see her. And honestly, James? Every day? Even god had a day off Sunday. And it was the HOLIDAYS."

"Oh, be quiet, Sirius."

Oh, be quiet, James."

"Black..."

"Potter..."

"Black..."

"Potter..."

"Black..."

"James..."

"Bla-! Hey! Not fair! You just broke the rules!"

"What rules? I live by my own rules."

"The...the RULES!"

"There are no rules!"

"Are too!"

"Are not!"

"Are too!"

"Are not!"

At this point, Remus and Peter shouted simultaneously "WOULD YOU TWO SHUT UP!"

"Says the ones talking."

James and Sirius high-fived.

James and Sirius walked around the train. They were looking for the food trolley.

"Where is it? I'm hungry, James!"

"And your point is?"

"Find me food!"

James looked at his best friend, amused.

"Wait, isn't that-"Sirius began.

"EVERTE STATUM!"

The two boys were blasted off their feet by the sheer force of the spell. Howard Mulciber grinned down at them.

Suddenly, three girls poked their heads out of their train compartments.

"No duelling on the train!"

Mulciber, a burly Slytherin sixth year, turned his wand on Marlene McKinnon, Alice Prewett and Lily Evans.

"Why if it isn't our favourite Mudbl-"

James shot up and snarled. "Don't call her that."

Mulciber's eyes glittered.

"What, going to stand up and face me like the man you aren't, Potter?"

Sirius joined James in pointing his wand at Mulciber.

He yelled "Stupefy!" at the same time as Sirius yelled "Protego!"

The curse reflected back. Mulciber ducked.

It hit Lily Evans straight in the chest.
