"Lily will you go out with me?"

These words were randomly blurted out by James about half way through the train ride. Lily looks over at him in disbelief.

"And why would I do that? I have known you for all of one hour and while you helped me then, you're turning out to be quite the jerk." Lily spat these words out and they seemed to surprise James. He sat there with a dumbfounded look on his face the rest of the train ride. Throughout the entire ordeal of James asking Lily out, Bianca and Remus sat there rolling their eyes and giving each other knowing looks.

They both knew at that moment that Lily and James would end up together.

Sirius, meanwhile was infuriating Lily even more than James by doing everything in his power to egg her into either accepting James' bouts of love, or committing suicide.

Right after James had asked Lily to go out with him; a greasy haired, long nosed, lanky boy walked into their carriage and sat down next to Lily, who greeted him like an old friend. His name was Severus Snape. It turned out that Lily and him had been friends in elementary school. The rest of us couldn't see how she put up with him. And then we got to the devastating subject of school houses.

"Of course I'm going to be in Gryffindor." James and Sirius both stated at the same time. They both turned to Snape with expecting looks. Snape glared right back at them before answering.

"I, as a matter of fact, would prefer to be in Slytherin." At this, all four boys tuned to glare at him with horror.

"Lilyflower, you hang out with this…this evil bastard?" Sirius said, using his nickname for Lily. This was definitely the wrong thing to say.

Lily jumped up and slapped Sirius in the face.

"Sirius Black, if you ever insult one of my friends again I swear I will… I will kill you myself." When Lily had started that threat she had been yelling but by the time she was finished she had a deathly whisper going. She then proceeded to storm out of the cabin. Bianca, who had been relatively quiet throughout the entire ride stood up.

"Oh, really great you guys, all of you. That was really smooth. First, you infuriate her by asking her out, and then you insult her best friend. Nice going." Then she, too, proceeded to storm out in hopes of finding Lily.

Bianca did find Lily, in the girl's bathroom. She was about to boil over because she was so angry. When Bianca walked in, Lily punched the wall next to the mirror. It didn't do much good, seeing as she came away with a bloody knuckle and a string of curses.

"Lily, calm down, he's just a boy. Just learn to ignore him; your life will be a lot better. He may be infatuated with you but that's it. He'll get over it and then he'll be fine to hang out with. For now though, just power through it." Bianca surprised herself by standing up to this woman who would probably take Bianca's head off if she said the wrong thing. Obviously she said the right thing though, because Lily seemed to calm down and start to control herself.

"You're right, he's just a boy, and I can't let him get to my head." Lily repeated this to herself for several minutes before she gathered herself and motioned for them to go back the carriage.

When they got back, the first thing James did was wink flirtatiously at Lily. Lily shot him a glare. Sirius started to pester Lily, but Bianca pulled out some shred of anger from within herself and shot him the most powerful glare she could muster. He promptly closed his mouth.

Remus looked at her in surprise."Wow, I've never seen anyone shut Sirius up with a glare. I'm impressed." Bianca blushed and shot him a playful glare. Sirius caught on to this immediately. He turned to James, and in a stage whisper said…

"James, look, Remus and Bianca are flirting. Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I never thought Remus had it in him." Sirius then pretended to cry.

Bianca and Lily both were surprised by the boys in general. Even though they had only known each other for a few hours, they seemed to know every single little detail about every single one of them. Except Peter. While they tried to include him in their conversations, they didn't seem as comfortable around him as they did around each other.

After Bianca was done contemplating this, what Sirius had said sunk in.

"Hey, I've known him for, like, two hours. We are NOT flirting. We are being friendly, ever heard of it?" She spat these words out. Sirius was really making her mad. Fortunately, Remus was there to calm her down.

"Bianca, calm down, he's just being Sirius. Unfortunately you're going to have to learn to live with him for the next seven years." As he said this Bianca groaned playfully. She had been successfully calmed down.

Although, her sudden anger surprised even her. Normally she didn't get mad very easily. These people, ever though they had only known her for a few hours, seemed to guess that and seemed worried. Bianca stood up and walked out of the cabin to calm herself.

After a few minutes Remus came out to see how she was doing. When he saw her face, which was confused, deep in thought, and angry at the same time, he sighed and went back into the carriage.

Binaca sighed. This was going to be a long year.
