Chapter 2 The Train ride

James and Lily both looked up. "Sirius!" groaned James.

Sirius Black, the one who had spoken, was James' best friend since the first day of school. He had black hair to his shoulders, and dark brown eyes that looked almost black. He was just a bit taller than James.

Behind him was Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. . Remus had short brown hair and blue eyes. He was just a bit shorter than his other friends. Peter had short dark blond hair and brown beady eyes.

"For once, it seems as if Prongs doesn't want to see us!" said Sirius to his two friends behind him.

Lily blushed madly. "I was in the middle of a, ahem, private conversation with Evans here," said James, waving his hand towards Lily.

Sirius sighed. "Here I was all happy to see you and you don't want to see me," said Sirius in a mock hurtful tone. James shrugged.

Lily looked at her watch. "I'd better go," she told James, and she left the compartment.

"Evans! Wait!" said James, running after her.

"What?" she said, turning around.

"Let me escort you to the Prefect carriage," said James.

"How did you know..." she said.

"Your badge," he said, pointing to it.

Lily smiled. "Okay," she said. "Here it is. I wonder who the Head Boy is." Lily entered the compartment and James followed.

"What are you doing, Potter?" said Lily. "You're not supposed to come in."

James smiled, and took out something from his jeans pocket. "No...no... NO!" yelled Lily looking at the badge. James was Head Boy. "You're, you..." she said, lost for words.

"What? I didn't tell you I'm Head Boy?" said James. Lily screamed. A bunch of frightened 5th year prefects came in. They looked at Lily. Lily blushed furiously and sat down with her arms crossed.

After every one came in, Lily calmed down and talked to them about their duties as prefects. James just started at her. "God, she's beautiful," he thought.

"Potter! Anything you have to add?" snapped Lily.

"Um... be careful and mind the vanishing step on the 5th floor stair case," he said. Lily sighed.

"Kay! I almost kissed him! How could I?" said Lily, almost crying. Kay had grown over the summer. Her brown hair was now waist-length and had a million tiny braids. She had gone to Jamaica for the summer holidays.

"It's simple. You fancy him as much as he fancies you!" said Kay with a grin on her face.

"You almost kissed who?" asked Alice, coming into the compartment. Alice had beautiful blond hair and blue eyes. Her hair was elbow length and had it in a French braid.

"Potter!" said Kay, happily. Alice stared open-mouthed at her friend.

"Lily, is this true?" Alice said, sitting next to Kay. Lily sighed and nodded. Alice squealed. "Lily loves James!"

"I do not!" said Lily, blushing.

"First two signs, blushing and denying," said Kay. Lily groaned.

"'Lily Potter', nice," said Alice.

"Shut up!"

----

"Hey, mates! I almost kissed the girl of my dreams, but she got away!" said James, putting his head in his hands.

"C'mon Prongs! There are lots of girls who would love to be snogging you. Get one of them!" said Sirius.

Remus sighed. "Padfoot, my friend, do not advise James to be like you. You would snog anything with a chest bigger than yours." Sirius looked offended.

"Well, I don't see you with a girlfriend!" snapped Sirius.

Remus smiled. "You will soon."

Sirius was not expecting this. "How?"

"Well, I plan on actually asking a girl out, instead of being like you and snogging her till you're tired of her." said Remus, calmly. James wasn't paying attention to their conversation. The train was turning and James could see Lily's compartment.

"Wormtail, what do you think of Moony's logic?" asked Sirius.

"I... I don...don't know..." said Peter.

"Typical! He's never had so much of a second glance!" said Sirius with his bark-like laugh. Peter hung his head.

"Sirius! That was mean!" said Remus.

Sirius was still laughing. "You're right! I'm sorry, Wormtail," he said. Peter nodded.

"What about you, Prongs?" asked Sirius. A pause. "James?"

Peter laughed. "He's Lily-watching," he said pointing to the window. Sirius shook James.

"What?" he said.

"Never mind," said Sirius, smiling. James looked out the window again, but Lily was gone. James sighed and joined in their conversation.

Author's note: Hey, I hope you guys like the story so far. Please review! Constructive criticism please (if any)! I'll try to add a chapter every time I go on the Internet! By the way, I won't be killing any of the main characters off (but I might kill a few Death Eaters and a few families that have nothing to do with the story!). This story will be mainly romance and passion.
