Chapter 3:
Well what can you say; boys will be boys. The last few days of their holidays went very quickly, before they knew it they only had a few minutes before they had to get on the train. And once again Lily found she was by herself at the train station, when every year her mum and dad promised her they would be there to wave her off.
Lily sighed as she looked around the train station; seeing families rush into trains; others going through the barrier and mothers yelling out to their children if they had forgotten anything. But one small elderly woman who was wearing baggy green gym pants, tennis shoes, huge glasses and a red knitted jumper caught Lily's eye; making her smile as she listened to the conversation the old woman was having with her grandson.
"Jack, Jack," called out the small woman who was only a few feet away from Lily.
"Yes grandma," replied a tall brown haired boy who was just about to go through the barrier.
"You were about to hit the wall dear," she called out as she grabbed his hand and led him away from the barrier.
"But... but grandma, this is the way to the station," he told her as he looked at her bewildered.
"Nonsense, I can't have you running into walls; now, there we go," she said as she pushed him onto a train that had just pulled into the muggle station.
"But…" was all he could say as he leant out through a window towards his grandma.
"I want you to have a good time; you hear me Jackie," she said as she looked at him with her huge glasses, that made her eyes twice as big.
"I told you not to call me that," whispered Jack as he looked around seeing if anyone heard.
"Well I must go dear, I can't leave your granddad on the toilet to long, you never know what could happen," she laughed as she waved at him before rushing off towards the car park.
Lily saw Jack shudder at his grandmother's last comment before she watched him look around and grab his trunk. He got out of the train and made his way towards the barrier.
He looked over at Lily and smiled, knowing what she was thinking he replied, "She does this every year, one time she actually stayed until the train started going and I had to get off just around the corner, the trains people weren't to happy," Jack said as he looked at his watch and quickly made his way to the barrier.
Lily laughed at his story, and watched as he walked through the barrier, she looked at her own watch realizing there was only 5 minutes until the train would be leaving
"LILY," screamed out a girl who was running at her.
"Jennifer?" Lily wondered out loud.
"Of course, who else would it be?" laughed Jennifer as she ran at Lily, giving her a huge hug.
"Wow Jen, you look great," Lily laughed as she looked at her.
"Thanks Lil,"
"Oh my god you got Head Girl, I knew you would," Jen smiled as she hugged Lily again.
Lily smiled.
"Aw, I missed you so much," Jennifer continued as they started walking towards the barrier.
"I missed you to Jen," Lily replied.
"Your parents didn't show up again did they?" Jennifer asked Lily as they walked through the barrier.
"They promised," Lily sighed.
"Don't let it get you down Lil, remember this is our last year and every year we always have fun so this year won't be any different ok," Jennifer told her as she hopped onto the train.
"Yeah your right," smiled Lily as she followed Jennifer down the train.
"LIL, JEN!" screamed out a girl from a compartment they had just past.
Lily, taking a few steps back looked into the compartment and grinned.
"Hey Nelly," Lily replied as she walked into the compartment and gave her a hug.
"Cheer up, life's not that bad," smiled Nelly as she looked at Lily whilst she gave Jennifer a hug.
"YOU GOT HEAD GIRL," Nelly screamed as she looked at the shiny badge, which was pinned onto Lily's shirt.
Lily laughed at Nelly's reaction as she put her luggage into the rack. They all sat down and chatted about their holiday and what they would be getting up to at Hogwarts this year, until they were disturbed by a small knock on the door.
"Ah, Lily," came a quiet voice from the door.
Lily got up and opened the door, looking into the face of Remus Lupin.
"Hey Remus," Lily smiled.
"What can we do for you," she continued.
"Oh, yes, you are supposed to be in the Prefects Compartment to give them a talk about the responsibilities of this year," Remus mumbled as he looked into the compartment, then looking down as Jennifer smiled at him.
"Oh, I totally forgot," laughed Lily.
"Sorry girls, I'll be back soon," she smiled as she followed Remus out, shutting the door behind her.
Lily walked after Remus, watching as he disappeared through a compartment; she walked in after him and looked around at the new prefects. As she looked through the faces she came to a face that she loathed, a face she wanted to punch over and over again.
"Why are you in here Potter?" spat Lily as she stared at James Potter.
"Well, Evans, it is one of my jobs as Head Boy," replied James as he smiled and pointed to his badge.
"Wait, I just exaggerated," Lily said as she shook her head and looked at James again.
"Remus, stop lending your badge to people," Lily smiled a bit to sweetly as she turned and looked at Remus.
"Lily, I'm not the Head Boy, James is," Remus replied as he pointed at his prefect badge that was pinned onto his robes.
Lily's smile faded. "No," she said as she looked at James again; eyes starting to flare as she felt her temper rising.
"Lily its ok, we'll talk about this after the meeting," replied Remus as he walked in between Lily and James, as they were getting ready to let loose their anger.
Lily sat down opposite of James staring out the window as James talked to the new Prefects. Lily added in a few words once in awhile but was silent for most of it, as she didn't want to lose her temper. She counted to ten, breathing in and out slowly, but her fists clenched as she saw James's smile go through her mind.
The meeting finished after what seemed like ages but had only been half an hour. Lily got up and walked towards the door, until she felt her hand get grabbed, which made her stop. She turned around and saw James's smiling face.
"So Lily, are we going to go out this year?" James asked as he looked into her beautiful green eyes.
Lily felt her breathing stop, he had done it again, she felt her face going hot as she was ready to punch him, but she breathed out again slowly, putting a sweet smile onto her face. James smile broadened as he thought he had finally won her heart.
"James," Lily said as she smiled.
"Yes, Lily," James replied.
"I would never go out with you if I was the last living woman on earth, and if I did I would surely kill myself, ok," Lily replied in a really sweet voice.
James smile fell, as Lily's smile broadened. She ripped her hand out of his grasp and slammed the compartment door in his face, and made her way back down the corridor, to the compartment her giggling friends were waiting in.
A/N So what did you all think; I liked this chapter myself as it shows some of the other characters, and the hatred between Lily and James, (evil laugh). Well I'd like to see all of your reviews.
