Lily sighed. She had been standing at platform 9 and wondering where she had to go. "It said 9 ¾ on the letter" Lily thought silently to herself. She brushed back a strand of flaming red hair bit her lip. Although it was only September she was feeling chills. She hugged her denim jacket closer to her body. Her knee length blue skirt and white tank top were hardly enough protection for this kind of weather.
"Ahem" Lily spun around to face a boy with a mop of messy black hair falling on to a face that was smiling.
"James Potter at your service milady! You aren't looking for platform 9 ¾ are you?" The boy said.
"How did you.but I'm." Lily started
"The owl." James motioned to the cage that was now sagging on her arm.
"Now the only way to get to the platform is to flap your arms like wings. yes! You got it. now you have to spin around in circles and cluck. wait you forgot to sing the.."
James was interrupted by a shrill scream.
"JAMES HAROLD POTTER" A girl with black hair and shining blue eyes stomped towards James and Lily dragging two boys by the ears.
"Uh oh." James cursed silently under his breath.
"I can't believe you would do that, and to a muggle first year! I am going to tell your mother about this and I'm going to have your head personally." The girl yelled at James who was cowering slightly in her presence.
"Uh, Bella you mind letting us go?" Asked one of the boys who 'Bella' was dragging by the ears. He had long shaggy black hair and black eyes to match. The other boy had sandy brown hair and deep blue eyes.
"Both of you stuff it! And before you open your mouth Jamsie-poo you too!" She yelled. All three boys were quiet as she continued. Lily just stared at the girl in wonder, soon Bella noticed this.
"Oh I'm sorry, Arabella Figg 1st year. Just call me Bella.or else" She added with a smile. Lily immediately felt at ease.
"Hi, I'm Lily Evans. I was just trying to get on to the platform when." Bella cut off Lily.
"When James here made you look like a fool. Him and these two have been terrorizing people all day. I just caught Sirius and Remus here selling candy with enlargement charms on them. If you want to get on to the platform just walk thru the barrier. Here let me show you." And with that Bella (still dragging Remus and Sirius) walked through the barrier.
'Wow' was all Lily could manage to say and with that she followed them through the barrier and saw the magnificent red steam engine in front of them.
"Follow me Lily, our stuff is already in the train you can share a compartment with us." Bella waved Lily over. Once they were on the train Lily turned to James and smacked him hard on the cheek, twice.
"If you ever make me look like an idiot again, you aren't just going to have a sore cheek!" Lily screamed at James. Then when she heard him mumble 'Ooh red has a temper' she kicked him in the shins.
"Ow Lils that really hurt." James pouted and tried to make a puppy face.
"The name is Lily, Jamsie poo or should I call you pothead." Lily responded.
"Whatever you prefer Evans, as long as you can keep your hands off me I know I'm irresistible." James smirked. Lily muttered something under her breath and sat down. 'Looks like I won the first round' James thought to himself. Then James heard everyone in the compartment laughing especially Bella and Lily. Remus and Sirius were in stitches on the floor.
"God James I think that color really does look good on you." Remus said in between laughs.
*******Lupin's Cottage********
"You can't leave us hanging Professor that isn't fair!" whined Ron as Remus finished up.
"He isn't our professor anymore." Hermione reminded Ron.
"Oh god, Mione just stuff it." Ron said.
"You first"
"After you"
"Ladies first, Ronnie."
"what I've been saying all along.HEY!" Ron yelled as he realized what Hermione just said. Lupin, Sirius, and Harry all laughed as Ron turned a fine shade of peach that really clashed with his hair.
"All of you to bed" said Sirius
"But Siri." Harry was cut off by Sirius.
"NOW! Or I will lock you in the closet with those two!" Sirius said. Harry quickly scrambled off to bed, followed by the bickering couple.
