The kids were looking at the castle with amusement, Hogwarts was much bigger than Lily thought. It was black and there were lights from the windows. Lily and Snape was in one boat with Molly and Alice. Molly was a short girl with ginger hair and big eyes. Her cheeks were burning, that excited she was. Alice was very different. She was blonde tiny girl, who seemed to young for her age.

Lily liked them both, but Snape was her real friend. The only one. But Lily was open to friendships, of course. She suddenly looked to a boat near theirs.

There was that pompous boy with glasses. Lily frowned. Next to him was a boy with hair a little longer than James'. He seemed worried. Those two boys were the centre of the boat, because Lily saw the third boy, funny, plump, but cute boy who was admiringly staring at the two black haired boys. His eyes were big and blue. Lily started worrying. That little boy seemed to be nice. But with James around, how could he be ok?

Just now, Lily spotted the fourth boy. He wasn't almost seen. He was thin, his grey eyes were shining with love and warmth. However, he seemed tired, but amazed by the castle. He looked friendly.

Lily thought it unfair...so different...She wondered if the boy with longer black hair is any similar to James. It seemed so.

Finally they reached the shore. They got out of the boats and Hagrid led them to the castle. There they were entrusted to a woman with a stern look.
