"So, where's Kyla?" Lily asked Liz.
Lily and James were sitting in the Head Compartment along with their friends. They had managed to get there without killing each other.
Liz shrugged. "Probably off searching for the food cart", she said looking up from her book.
Kyla Barns was Liz and Lily's best friend. She had a huge sweet tooth. But some how, she managed to keep her slim figure. Probably because she was a chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
Moments later, Kyla stumbled into the compartment, her arms filled with candy and pastries.
"Here, I got these from the lady with the cart", Kyla said grinning. She dumped everything on the seat beside Lily. She sat down right next to them and starting helping herself to Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans., oblivious to boys sitting across from her. But them pouncing towards the candy made her notice them.
"What are they doing here?" Kyla asked, swallowing the remains of her chocolate frog.
"Potter's head boy", Lily grumbled, grabbing a sugar quill.
Kyla started coughing. She was choking on a pumpkin pasty. Sirius starting patting her on the back. He had just walked in, smelling the food.
"Lily, I think Kyla is having a fit", Liz said, without taking her eyes away from her charms book.
"Whatever", Lily mumbled, still upset at James for being Head Boy.
Sirius frowned before giving Kyla one last thumb on the back. She finally stopped choking but was still red in the face.
Obviously, Sirius was confused at why Lily didn't care that her best friend was choking (which he was confused about too).
James, seeing the look on Sirius's face, said "Ignore her Pad. She's just wallowing in her misery. She's still mad at me" Sirius gave him another confused look. "I'm Head Boy".
Sirius screamed.
"Oh, Remus, look! Our little boy is all grown up! Head Boy!" Sirius gushed wiping away a fake tear.
Remus shook his head slowly back and forth, amazed at the stupidity in what Sirius just said.
James ignored Sirius. Instead he said, "So where were you? I didn't see you at all until you came, attracted by the scent of the candy.
"Oh, I was off with Kenna"
"What happened to Ashley?"
"Dumped her", Sirius said shrugging. Kyla snorted, rolling her eyes. Sirius turned to face her. "I see you've stopped choking"
Kyla glared. "I'm sorry; I was just laughing at the thought of James as Head Boy. By the way, do you know what Dumbledore's on? I mean, only a chain smoker would choose him", Kyla jerked her head towards James," As Head Boy"
Lily and Liz burst into laughter while Remus fought not to smile. James fumed and Peter snored, he had fallen asleep.
"Well it's obvious why Dumbledore choose Miss Obnoxious over there. She's always got her huge head stuck in a book. She never has time for her social life. That's why nobody likes her"
Kyla jumped up, her fist ready to strike.
"Will you two just go out together already!" Lily said exasperatedly, choosing to ignore what Sirius said.
Kyla opened her mouth in protest, but before she could say anything, Sirius said, "I'm not going out with a slut!"
Kyla looked like she was ready to slap him. "Well, I think it's a bit too late for that!"
"Name one!" Kyla laughed.
"Oh, I can name plenty more than that! Let's see, there's Hannah, Gaby, Kat, Lana, Sophia, Jess, Mandy, Faye", Kyla counted off on her hand," Julie, Katie-"
"Okay, I get the point!"
"Alright then. But if you had let me finish, there would have been about 37. But those are the only one's I know about. I'm sure there's plenty more notches on you bed post than 37. But, it's none of my business anyways", Kyla said with a grin.
Sirius opened his mouth, but decided to shut-up and sit down. For the rest of the ride, the girls talked about their summer and the boys played Exploding Snap, which something Peter (he had woken up at all the shouting) was actually good at.
Finally, once it was pitch black out side and pouring, the train stopped and everyone got off.
The marauders ran to the nearest thestral-pulled carriage and scrambled in, trying not to get wet (which they failed miserably at). They waited for about twenty minutes, for that was about how long it took for everyone to get into a carriage.
"Where do you think Lily is? It doesn't take that long to find a carriage" James pondered out loud.
"Maybe she's stuck in the crowd trying to find us", Sirius said, obviously not caring. He was still mad at Kyla.
Right when he said this, the carriage door swung open revealing a soaked Lily. Her hair hung around her face lifelessly, dripping with water. Her robes were completely drenched, clinging to her. Behind her stood Kyla and Liz, who looked the same as Lily.
"POTTER!" Lily shouted at the top of her lungs.
"What?" James asked, confused at why he was being shouted at.
"Where were you!"
"In here, where were you? We thought you were lost, trying to find us" James said in response. He extended his hand towards her, wanting to help her in. Lily slapped it away and climbed in herself, followed by the two other girls. James looked taken back.
"We were not lost. I was doing my Head duties, helping other students find their way. Heads are supposed to be the last one to board a carriage. The Head students are supposed to help the first years to the lake. I was doing my job. You were sitting in here, nice and cozy when you were supposed to be helping me!" Lily sat down and took out her wand to perform the hair drying charm.
"I didn't know I was supposed to do that!" James said protested.
"You don't know anything", Lily replied shortly. "You're just an arrogant, big headed jerk"
James snorted. "You should talk", James said under his breath. But Lily still heard him.
"Excuse me!" Lily said, raising her voice.
"Here we go again", Kyla and Sirius said at the same time. They glared at each other. Remus and Liz grinned. They were both amused at the two pairs of people fighting over ridiculous things. They both turned to Peter to see his reaction, but he was asleep. Again.
The carriage took off and landed with a soft thump 30 minutes later. Everyone got off quickly, not wanting to get wet again and ran to the entrance of the school.
Once they were inside, James decided it was best to find Lily and apologize but she had scurried off, not wanting to talk to hi.
After everyone was seated, the first years walked in looking like they had swam through the lake rather tan sailing across it. The sorting went quickly and the food disappeared as fast as it had appeared. In no time, the feast was over and everyone went to bed, bloated and tired. While everyone lay peacefully in their beds asleep, miles and miles away, a man named 'Lord Voldemort' was planning an attack.
