The Normal Us: Hi! We're back with a brand new chapter! The chapters will start being longer from now. Sorry for the short chapters. Right now, we have 10 good reviews. We changed the number of reviews from 15 to 19. Oh, and guess what?! We now have a third person helping us! She's our new editor! Yay!

Carrie: Yay! This secret keeping is killing me!

Lily: You're not having any trouble hiding the story. It just adds more suspense. People keep wondering what we're always writing and discussing. They're also wondering why we keep hiding what we're writing.

Carrie:*blank expression* Yeah, whatever. I just really wanna see the looks on their faces when they find out that we're the authors of the super amazing series called 'Harry Potter: Carrie and Lily'!

Lily: They won't really be surprised. You basically shouted out to half the class that you're Carrie and I'm Lily. And you wrote on the board 'Carrie & Lily'.

Carrie: Be quiet! What if some of the readers are actually some of our classmates?

Lily: Lets just start the story already.

Carrie: Welcome to Chapter 2: The Hogwarts' Express! Lily's part first!

Lily: I think they know that my part is first in every chapter. Just let it go, Carrie. Oh no, why did I just say that?!

Carrie: Let it go, Let it go. Can't hold it back anymore. Let it go, let it go…

Lily: You can just start reading now.

Lily

"Bye!" said Lily, waving to her mom. She turned around with a sigh as the train began to move. Hermione had gone to help a frightened boy look for a lost toad.

"I better get a seat" she thought. The only compartment that wasn't full was a compartment with 2 boys and a girl. Lily opened the door and shyly stood there.

Carrie

Carrie waved to her brother and her mom. She went and searched for a random compartment. She found one, that had one boy with black hair and glasses. He had emerald green eyes, too. Just change a few features, take the glasses off, change the eye shade to sea green, make him tanned and make him taller and you'd get a perfect Percy. As in Carrie's brother Percy.

Carrie asked him, while slightly tilting her head to the side,"Hi-hi! I'm Carrie! Can I sit here?" The boy nodded slowly. Carrie sat down and asked,"Whats your name?!" The boy replied, "I'm Harry." "Oh wait, you're the one who defeated Mr. Noseless at a year old, right? I jumped from a 20-story high window and landed on my feet without a scratch at that age. It was fun!"

Harry just stared at her like she was crazy. He said," By Mr. Noseless, you mean Voldemort, right?" He ignored the jumping from a window part.

Carrie replied," Yeah! Voldemort! I like to call him Moldy Shorts, Voldy, Mr. Noseless, Baldy or Volder Bolt. I have some more names, but those 5 are my favorite."

Just then, a boy with bright red hair came in. He said," Is it okay if I sit here with you? Everywhere else is full." Carrie said," Yeah, you can sit here!" Harry just nodded.

After introductions, it was quiet for a while, and then the train started moving.

Just then, the compartment door slid open, and a pretty girl with auburn hair and blue-grey-green eyes stood there shyly.

Both

Harry stared at the girl until Carrie said," Hi-hi! I'm Carrie!" Lily said shyly, "Umm… hi, my name is Lily." She looked at Harry and spoke up shyly," I know you. You're Harry Potter, right? I've read all about you!" "Have you?" He said a little dazed and a little dazzled.

Lily asked Ron, "And who are you?" Ron replied, "I'm Ron. Ron Weasley." Harry was still staring at Lily. Noticing this Carrie said, "Uh… Harry, can you pleeeeaaaase stop staring at her? Its not nice. Its weird. It makes me feel weird too." Lily spoke up, "So, can I sit?" Harry brightened up and pushed Carrie to the other side and then said, "Yeah! Sure. You can sit next to me!" Carrie muttered, "Ow, that hurt." Then shouted, "YA KNOW, YA DIDN'T HAVE TO PUSH ME YOU KNOW." Lily said, "You said 'ya know' twice." Carrie said with her normal big grin, "That's not the point here!" Lily sat down beside Harry, much to his relief.

Meanwhile, Carrie was poking Ron trying to get the window.

"Can I have the window seat?"

"No, go away."

"I won't jump out."

"Promise?"

"Yeah!"

"Please stop poking me."

"No." Ron gave her the window seat, but Carrie still kept on poking him. "Stop!"

"Sorry, I'm in a poky-ish mood. Yay! I created a new word!"

Ron was fed up.

And then they heard the food trolley. Carrie bought 7 packs of Drooble's best blowing gum and 10 packs of licorice wands. Harry bought some of everything and Lily bought chocolate cauldrons and chocolate frogs. After buying the food, they all went back inside.

Carrie stuffed 5 pieces of gum (That's one pack) in her mouth. Ron looked alarmed and pulled Harry and Lily outside with him. Lily asked, "Why did you do that?" Ron replied, "Wait and watch."

Suddenly, they heard a loud pop, and a very grumpy, pink Carrie walked out. "The whole place plus me is pink! I hate it!" Carrie said. "I hate, hate, hate pink!" They all looked inside the compartment. Even their trunks, Carrie's backpack, and even the windows were a bright bubblegum pink. "Even my favorite backpack's pink! You can't even see a bit of black, sea green or green!" Carrie screamed.

Hearing all the noise, Percy the prefect popped in. "Whats going on?" He asked pompously. "Well…" Ron started. "Carrie was blowing 5 gums at once, and when it popped, the whole compartment was covered." Carrie said, "I got covered in sticky pinkishness, too! I hate pink! Its so freakishly bright and girly!" Percy the perfect said snobbishly, "You shouldn't have done that. Now I'll have to clean it up!"

"With a toothbrush?" Carrie joked.

"No, with magic." said Percy the perfect prefect, cleaning the compartment and Carrie up with a flick of his wand. Lily said, "I think she was joking about the toothbrush." Percy the snob said, "NOT FUNNY! If you weren't new, then it would be detention for you!" Carrie said," Wow, you're a snobbishly, snobbishly, snobbishly, snobbishly, snobbishly, snobbishly, snobbishly, snobbishly, snobbishly, snobbishly slob. I mean snob." "That's it! Detention!" Lily said, "You know, you can't do that since the train does not count as the term, and the term starts at the castle, so anything that happens on the train is not counted."

Percy the idiot (at least that's what he is according to Carrie) mumbled to himself, "Too bad there's someone who memorized all the rules." Then he said out loud, "How would you now?" Lily said, "I memorized all the rules." Carrie said, "She reads way too much. I think she's like a walking encyclo-, encyclo-…" Lily said, "

Encyclopedia."

"Yeah! Encyclopedia!"

Lily asked, "How would you know? We only met an hour ago."

"I sorta figured it out after you said all that stuff about reading and memorizing and rules." Carrie said all of that with her random, crazy smile. (It's called random 'cause it appears a completely random times.)

"You're creeping me out!" said Ron, looking scared.

"Who? How?" Carrie asked. Lily said, "Well I think its your eyes, you smile that appears for no reason and…well, you. You look creepy like that."

"You should see me on Halloween!" said Carrie.

"Yeah, I'll pass."

"But I just wear a mermaid warrior costume. No makeup or anything. Just a costume."

"Oh. Okaaay… Fine."

After a minute, Harry asked Lily, "Is that your owl?" He had just seen it.

"Uh-huh. Her name is Snowy. I think that Hedwig and Snowy are sisters. Is Hedwig your owl?"

"Yeah."

Carrie asked," I thought Hedwig was a boy."

"Hedwig is a girl's name." said Lily

"Oh, oh, ooohhhhhh…"

Carrie finally notices Percy the stupid standing there, staring at them, and Carrie heard him speak without using his mouth - "These three kids and Ron must be crazy!"

Carrie then says, "So you're still here? I thought ya left, like, a few minutes ago or something. Are you a ventriloquist? I heard you say, 'These kids and Ron must be crazy' without opening your mouth. And don't call us crazy!"

Percy the prefect stared at her in surprise. "How would you know? I was thinking that!" "Ha! You admitted that ya called us crazy!" shouted Carrie at the top of her voice, "Now get out!"

"Ok, ok, I'm going." Percy the evil prefect hurried out.

As soon as he was gone, Lily asked Carrie, "We didn't hear anything. How did you?"

"He did say something!" Carrie insisted.

Then Harry asked, "Can you read minds? If you can, then read mine."

Inside his mind he said "Lily's pretty" three times.

In a trance-like state, Carrie started saying, while imitating Harry's voice at his thoughts, "Harry's thinking, 'Lily's ….'"

But Harry interrupted her by saying, "Ok, we don't need to hear that!"

"But I'm not done yet! "Lily's pretty, Lily's pretty, Lily's pretty."" Carrie repeated, the same way Harry thought it.

"Uh… Is that what you think, or is it what Harry thinks?" asked Lily a little pink in the face.

"Carrie thinks that." Harry said quickly.

"No, it's what you think!" said Carrie.

Harry couldn't think of anything to say but, "Uh…."

Lily quickly figured it all out and said to Harry, "Well, you could have just told me."

Harry stuttered, "Well…umm..."

"Oh, I don't wanna hear it!" Carrie said. "I already know your little secret."

Harry shouted, "WHAT?!"

"Ya told me to read your mind." Carrie said, irritated.

Lily said, feeling a bit hurt, "You told her, and not me?"

"She read my mind!" Harry said.

Carrie retorted, "Well, you're the one who told me too!"

"Did you forget I was here?" asked Ron.

"No, we just didn't include you in our conversation." Grumbled Carrie

"Okaaaay... Do you want to see a spell?" Ron asked trying to change the subject.

Carrie said, "Sure!"

Ron took Scabbers and his wand out.

Lily started to say something, "Didn't we…" but just then, the door opened.

Suddenly Lily stood up and grinned. "Hermione!"

The Normal Us: Ok… That's all for today, people! It takes sooooo long to finish the chapters! After all, we do only write in the 'The Book' at school. We can't do it anywhere else. Oh, and just so you know, there's gonna be a big update day, October 18th, when we're gonna publish at least 2 chapters, 'cause me, Lily and the editor are gonna have a sleepover! Well, at least only me and Lily are. The editor, Susanna ( SusannaMathew ) , won't be able to stay so long. So for her, its just a playdate. 6 more days people!

Carrie: I like art class. Most people are wondering who Carrie is.

Lily: In art, the topic was primary and secondary colors. You got a crazy idea to write Carrie's name, a.k.a, your name. Though everyone already knows that Carrie and Lily aren't our real names!

Carrie: Yeah… Whatever.

Lily: You drew 'Carrie' in bubble letters and filled them in with lots of colors. Then our teacher took your book and showed the whole class.

Carrie: How was I supposed to know he would do that?!

Lily: Then, everyone started wondering who Carrie was, so we had to change it from 15 reviews to 19.

Carrie: Sorry.

Lily: Since we already have 10 reviews, we're gonna tell our class. In a few weeks.

Carrie: Bye everyone!

Lily: Bye
