Chapter 2

A Board the Hogwarts Express

Lily and her parent's walk thru the barrier and ended up on Platform 9 ¾ where they were greeted by of Lily's best friend.

"Lily, there you are. I have been looking all over for you. Hello Mr. and Mrs. Evans and how are you today?"
"Just fine Molly, how Arthur" Sarah Said

"I don't know I hope this is the year he asks me out" Molly said hopefully

"Now we better must be going or we'll miss the train. Bye mum, bye dad. I love you and I will see you at Christmas," Lily said giving her parents a big hug.

"Yeah see you soon Mr. and Mrs. Evans" Molly chiming in

"By the way Lily and have fun and don't forget to owl us" Sarah said.

"I won't mum," with that Lily and Molly got on the train and found an empty compartment.

The girls had just got settled, when they heard, "Here's a compartment with just enough room for us."

No not Potter and Black, why can't they sit somewhere else? Lily thought to herself.

"Well hello ladies, aren't you two looking beautiful today," Sirius said as he entered the compartment and sat down beside Lily and put his arm around her.

"Sod off Black," Lily said while moving his arm.

"So how was everyone's summer?" Remus asked as he down beside Molly

Molly smiled and said, "Great, me Lily went to beach I meet these cute guys"

The last person to enter was James. "What guys" He took the last remaining seat, which just happened to be across from Lily.

"I am just Joking, James, But you seen the look on your face" Molly trying not laugh

"Hi Lily, How are you?" James asked

"What do you want, Potter?" growled Lily at him

"Nothing Lily, Just asking how you are" James said sweetly.

"I am fine thank you Potter! I am Head Girl this year, so you and your friends better watch out" Lily said with warning tone in her voice.

"I must be going." James saying as he walked out the door.

"Where did he go? Molly asked.

"Oh I have to go to the Head's compartment, are you coming Remus?" Asked Lily

Remus chuckled and said, "Lily, I'm not Head Boy."

"Your not head boy?"

"Nope I am not."

"I wonder who is then. I guess I will find out in a couple of minutes. Molly, Remus, I will see you two at the prefects meeting in 10 minutes," Lily said as she walked out the door.

"What do you think her reactions going to be when she finds out who the Head Boy is?" Peter said.

Sirius said, "She'll probably kill him."

"I think not probably she will kill him" Molly said

Head's compartment

Lily was about to enter the Head's compartment when she heard someone rambling on and on. So she decided to listen for a couple minutes.

"Lily, I know I have been a git…no…Lily, I know how much of a arrogant toe rag…no…Lily please just give me a chance please…no… that sounded desperate…wait I am desperate…Lily I know you hate me…" James was rambling on when Lily walked in.

"James I don't hate you, I just don't like how you treat others."

"How much did you hear?" James asked slightly flushed. James was too busy being embarrassed to realize that Lily just called him James instead of his surname.

"Just 'Lily I know you hate me'," she lied.

"Oh ok," James let out a sigh.

"But what are you doing in the Head's compartment; I thought only the Head Boy and Girl could get in

"I'm Head Boy"

"WHAT!"

"YOUR HEAD BOY!"

"HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN!"

"And before you ask how I don't know I just got the letter and badge in the mail. Lily I promise to stay away from you as much as possible so your last year won't suck," James said with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"I need to sit down before I fall down" as she sat down

"Would you like glass of water, I'll get you one" then with flick of his wand a glass stood on the table in front of Lily.

"Thank you, James" as he sat down to next to Lily

Wow did she really say my name not my surname she might start warming up to me after all this time James thought,

"Look Lily I know is must be bit of shock but I know we could be great team, What with your brains and my…."

"Do I have any choice in the matter" Lily said trying to drink the water while she still shaking from shock.

"I don't think so" James said smiling

"We could actually try being friends" Lily said try not to laugh

"It not bad idea, we could try to get on" James said hopefully

"Alright then friends it is" Lily said

James eagerly grabbed Lily's hand and said, "James Steven Potter, Head Boy, nice to meet you"

Lily giggled and said, "Lily Elisabeth Evans, Head Girl. Nice to meet you too, Okay formalities aside, let's go to talk to the prefects"
