A/N: Hey, I haven't written in a long time, I know, I've just been so busy with school and AP classes yanno, but anyways here is chapter two, so prolonged but finally here. / Dogfur

Dearborne

All students were safely seated inside the Hogwarts Express excitedly awaiting the arrival. First years fidgeted in their seats and seventh years sat thinking about classes this year. James was with the rest of his group in their compartment and anyone walking by could hear by the laughter that it was them.

James was playing with the snitch they had snagged the year before and Peter was choking on his candy and laughing at Sirius who was badly impersonating professors. Remus was trying to hide his smile but could no longer and burst out laughing with the rest of them.

In Lily's compartment she sat with Mary, Marlene, Dorcas Meadowes, and her other friend, Jade Vasquez. Mary had yet to tell the news she had spoke about in her letter to Lily and Lily was becoming quite anxious. "Mary, will you tell me or not?"

Mary giggled and looked to all the girls, "Lily, Lincoln Dearborne likes you!"

"What?" Lily's eyes grew wide and her face a little red, "What do you mean?"

"Wait- Lincoln?! Seventh year Lincoln?" Jade questioned. She stared at Mary who just smiled, "Yeah! I found out during the summer, but I wanted to tell you when school started."

Lily burst out laughing seeming a little mad to her friends around her, the three of them stared at her quizzically and Lily stopped. "Are you sure?" She asked stifling a laugh.

"What is so funny about that?" Marlene asked.

"Oh- er, I just don't know what to think exactly.." Lily regrettably said.

"You don't know what to think?! Lily, this is Lincoln Dearborn! Like, THE Lincoln Dearborne!" Mary screeched, "HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW WHAT TO THINK?"

"I'm sorry! I just don't know him that well, I guess…"

"Lily, honey, you HAVE to go for it!" Mary emphasized, quite dramatically, "He's the hottest bloke in school!" She gushed. Lily rolled her eyes and looked away.

"He is pretty good looking." Dorcas blurted out, "Besides what's the harm? He's hot and nice, and he likes YOU."

Dorcas Meadowes had brown curly hair and dark skin, she outshone everyone else in her own way. Though, she didn't try to at all, for she just didn't care.

Lily hesitated before continuing, "Uh, yeah but are you sure?" She pressed her lips together, Mary rolled her eyes and Jade sighed. "Uhm, Lily, don't be stupid, he's so lucky to get you, and he pays well." Jade pointed out. All the girls looked at her very confused, "Pays well?" Marlene asked.

"Oh, right," Jade laughed, "He asked me to draw him and he's paying me." Jade giggled, she happened to be an artist, pretty good her friends and most her class thought, she did lot's of different types of work, make-up, drawing, even graphiti. She was more rebellious in the group, wearing leather jackets and having dark curly hair that, she was essentially the girl verson of Sirius Black, only much cooler. Although she complete opposite of Dorcas, who was more accustomed to following the rules in the group.

"Cool, but Lily you gotta go get that." Mary smirked and winked at her, a very bad wink might I add. "Can't miss out on this chance!"

Lily smiled and giggled, "Alright maybe I'll talk to him." Mary shrieked and hugged her tightly. "But now I have to go to the prefect meeting, see you guys later." She waved and walked out of the compartment. Jade stood up and asked if the girls wanted to go with her to "work on her art" which specifically meant graffiti the place, with magic paint of course.

"Oh, I don't know if we should go do that…" Dorcas murmured.

"I'll only go if your hot artist friends will be there." Mary said popping gum into her mouth.

"They will be there, and Mar, come on, the paint'll wear off!" Jade beckoned. All four walked out into the corridor and going to the special compartment that Jade and some of her friends worked in.

James

James walked back into his compartment after getting snacks from the cart in the hall. "So blokes, what do we do now?"

"Well, I smelled Snivellus' greasy hair come by here, maybe we should go check up on him?" Sirius asked raising an eyebrow.

"Eh, we always do that, why not something different?" James whined.

"How about we not bother anyone and just stay here?" Remus insisted with a face of guilt.

"Booorinng, Moony you know us, we don't just sit around." Sirius groaned, "But I did see Jade walk by just a second ago, I'd go for that." He smirked.

"You also saw Marlene, Mary and Dorcas go by with her, they're Lily's friends, you know that if you go try her, Lily'll hex you out of this country, right?" Remus warned.

"Who cares? Jade is right in my league, and she's hot, just like me!" Sirius walked out of the compartment and after Jade, Mary, Dorcas and Marlene. Peter grabbed a handful of the food James got and stayed quiet, Remus rolled his eyes.

"No one's going to stop him? Either Jade or Lily will hex him, so don't blame it on me." Remus said exhausted.

"Oh don't worry Moony, he won't get hurt, him and Jade have had a history, plus he'll never get into the compartment she went to, it's like a secret club thing." James comforted. A moment later Lincoln Dearborne walked by and stopped at their door, "Hey boys." He waved.

"Hey Dearborne, how's quidditch?" James asked.

"Great, but I just hit the jackpot with girls, Lily Evans is into me!" Lincoln divulged.

"Lily?" Remus asked.

"Evans is into you? What a stretch." James smirked.

"Truth. Just ran into her in the hall, I had Mary put in a good word for me and now she wants to hang out."

"Be careful with her, her stares and scary." Peter muttered with a mouth full of food.

"Are you even really into her?" James blurted, he didn't even know why he got so angered in that moment, but something came to him for just a quick second.

"Of course, she's great, and so cool, I mean have you seen her hex someone?" Lincoln exclaimed.

James rolled his eyes, "Yeah, she's hexed me." Lincoln laughed and waved goodbye, walking out of the compartment.

"Good for Lily." Remus shrugged.

"Yeah, I guess." James muttered.
