She was late.

She was never late! It just didn't happen to Lily Evans! So why was she running through Kings Cross station at 10:59 on September 1? She ran through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10, and was just able to see the train pulling away.

Running as fast as she could, she tried to reach it, and ended up jumping onto the railroad. Looking around, she realized that the train was nowhere to be seen. Where did it go? Hearing a noise behind her, she snapped around just in time to see said train ramming right at her. The last thing she heard was the ringing of the train horn.

Wait a minute. What? The Hogwarts Express does not ring, and it certainly does not sound like that particular obnoxious, goose-like ring.

It sounded rather like her alarm clock. She peeled her eyes open and looked to the bedside table on her left, realizing that the loud, obnoxious ringing was the alarm clock.

Well, that was a nice dream to start off her last year of Hogwarts. Hitting the big circular button on the alarm clock, she stumbled across the room with her eyes half-shut, pulling the short, thin nightee over her head and discarded it into the dirty laundry bin. The only thing that was going through her mind was:

"Shower. Need to take a shower." She pulled open the door to her bathroom, which was conveniently connected to her bedroom and walked across the marble floor to the shower, shivering slightly as her feet hit the cold tiles. Turning the water on almost as hot as it could go, and turning on the radio that she had charmed to be waterproof, she stepped under the water, and slowly became more and more alert as she washed her hair with cinnamon scented shampoo. She started to hum along to the songs that were playing, moved her body slightly to the beat while she was scrubbing.

She squirted some face wash into her hand and looked into the small mirror she had at face level stuck right next to the shower door. Watching herself as she rubbed it onto her face to make sure she did not miss any spots, she could not help but notice the thin scar across her face. She sighed. She knew that now was not the proper time to think about that. Pushing it out of her head as she had done so many times before, she finished showing, wrapped a thin cotton bathrobe around herself, and, walking into her bedroom, she opened the big doors that led into her well-organized walk-in closet with a full-length at the end. Looking around for the perfect outfit, she pulled on a pair of olive green short shorts, and a loose top that was off the shoulder on one side and short-sleeved on the other and the word "Thriller" written in a funky way. She pulled out a black, distressed belt and tightly pulled it around her tiny waist. (A/N: I love this '80s look!!) Looking around her excessive shoe wardrobe, she selected a pair of black patent pumps (a/n: see authors note).

She walked over to her vanity, and sat down on the comfy chair. She added a little tint of blush and swiped chapstick on her lips, as she did not really like wearing that much make-up. She opened the velvet box that was perched on the vanity and took out the shiny badge that read "Head Girl" on it. She was head girl, and was so excited about it! She had not told Alice and Emmeline, her two best friends, yet, and could not wait to tell them. She carefully attached the badge to her shirt, careful not to stab herself.

Checking herself one last time in the mirror, she went to go downstairs. But instead of walking down them, she hopped on the smooth wood and slid down the banister, landing gracefully into the arms of the person who had just walked into the door.

"Ben! You came to say goodbye!" She hugged the tall, rugged blond boy, whose eyes matched Lily's. He too had an inherited the coveted family trait, along with the perfect skin that glowed as he gave her a mock offended look.

"Lily! Did you think I wouldn't come to say goodbye to my favorite cousin as she left for school?"

Lily's cousin Ben had graduated from University last year. Deciding to take the summer off to get settled before he started on his career, Ben had bought a flat for himself right near where Lily lived, and making him able to easily spend a lot of time with Lily this summer. Ben was an only child and so growing up, he had really come to think of Lily as the little sister he never had. Lily had an older sister Petunia, but that was a whole other story.

Wrapping his arm around her shoulder protectively, he led her into the kitchen where Charlotte and Preston were sitting at the table. Knowing that Ben had planned on coming, they had set up a nice breakfast for the four of the.

At 10:45, Lily could be found in the passenger seat of a red Mercedes convertible, with Ben in the drivers seat. Lily's parents had to go to work, so after saying their final goodbyes, she had Ben move her luggage into the boot and they rode off to Kings Cross Station. When they arrived five minutes later, Ben pulled her stuff onto a cart with her all white Siamese cat Tatiana in a leopard print cage on top. They walked through the banister casually, and immediately saw a bustle of crying parents and their kids and older students catching up with each other. After depositing her things onto the train, Lily and Ben started walking around the platform with Ben's arm around her, trying to pretend she was not about to leave for school.

At 10:58, Lily turned to Ben solemnly and barely managed to stutter out "I'll m-miss you!" before jumping on him completely and hugging the stuffing out of him. The students around them immediately noticed Gryffindor Princess Lily Evans acting like this with a strange, sexy blond, and the rumors started circulating. Also, said students had not failed to notice the new scar that swept under her eye. While it did not make her any less attractive, possibly making her more sexy and smoldering, it certainly was not something you expected to show up on the Perfect Head Girl after a two-month vacation!

After saying her last goodbyes, Lily took Tatiana from her cage and went to find the compartent with her two best friends in it, Alice van der Woodsen and Emmeline Vance (A/N: I couldn't resist with Alice's name). When she found the compartment, she opened the door and Alice and Em looked up for a second before jumping on her.

"Lily! We missed you! How are you?" Alice had long, straight blonde hair and blue eyes. She had rosy cheeks and a heart-shaped face, and she always seemed to be smiling (A/N: think a rounder version of Serena). Em had wavy brown hair, medium brown, and was medium height. She was was average looking, but had a fun quality to her that made her brlighter and more fun.

Lily settled in to the compartment, knowing that the ride would be full of catching up.
