Chapter 3
Lily arrived at Hogwarts after a fifteen minute or so ride in a carriage. She didn't like them much she thought they smelled. Lily was very happy to be back at Hogwarts. She absolutely loved learning and couldn't wait to start school. She went into the great hall and sat at the Gryffindor table with Amelia. Next to Amelia sat their mutual friend Hirith. Hirith was a girl of medium height with brown hair and brown eyes. She usually wore her hair in a half ponytail. Hirith had a great sense of humor and was very sarcastic. Lily, Amelia, and Hirith were best friends. They were all three muggle born witches, which meant they had a lot in common.
"Hey Hirith! Where were you on the train? The Marauders sat with us!"
Amelia exclaimed emitting a happy sigh after the Marauder bit.
"Well, you know that guy Steven Prachett?"
"Yah. That Ravenclaw? He is in my Arithmancy class, I think." Lily said thinking.
"Well, that's where I was. I was with him, in the last compartment. All by ourselves." Hirith said suggestively.
"Oh Hirith. It's only the first day back and your making your move. Hahaha. He is kinda cute, I have to admit. He's a Ravenclaw so he's smart to! Go Hirith." Lily said laughing.
"Kinda cute lily? He is H*O*T! Hot! Did u kiss him Hirith?" Amelia asked.
"Um…. I'll never tell! I'm waiting for him to make the next move." Hirith supplied.
"Well he's looking over here right now." Lily said motion with her head in the direction of the Ravenclaw table.
"ooooo He is! I hope he asks you out!"
"Oh Amelia!" Hirith said.
While they were talking people were filing into the Great Hall talking excitedly about their summers.
"ooooo Lily, Hirith here come the Marauders!" sure enough Amelia was right. The Marauders came sauntering in, Girls following behind them. The Girls were hoping that the Marauders might notice them.
"Ugh! And they've got their little fan-club following them too." Lily said disgustedly.
"Oh Lily are you jealous?" Hirith teased. Hirith thought the marauders were cute and everything, but she didn't gush over them like a lot of girls.
"No!" Before Hirith could reply the Marauders came up.
"Hey ladies!" Sirius flirted. Followed by some giggling from Amelia. "Cutie, can I sit here?" Sirius asked lily, indicating the empty seat next to her.
"Sure!" Lily replied blushing and more giggling from Amelia. Lily thought she might have heard some giggles from Hirith, also.
"Thanks, Lovely." Lily blushing again and giggling from the other two girls followed this. James, Remus, and Peter sat down next to Sirius. Next Dumbledore stood up and began the sorting. A young, stern looking witch with a tight black bun on her head led the First years in. This was Professor McGonagall; she started teaching just last year. Professor McGonagall was the Transfiguration teacher. She was young, but stern, and was a great teacher. She taught them a lot more than their old, uptight teacher, Professor Bumbkin. Lily liked her a lot.
The first years looked scared, and some of them looked like they were going to be sick. Lily remembered her sorting. She was so scared, but later relieved to be out into such a nice house like Gryffindor. Lily was so busy thinking of her own sorting that she missed the sorting her and now. She later found out that there were 12 new additions to Gryffindor, 13 to Ravenclaw, 16 to Hufflepuff, and 12 to Slytherin.
Next Dumbledore made his annual speech saying to stay out of the Forbidden Forest, and stuff like that. He also announced the head boy, girl and all the prefects. Dumbledore also said there was to be End of Year dance that the head boy and girl were going to plan.
After this they finally got to eat. Lily, The Marauders, and her friends stuffed them selves full of all the wonderful food. Lily and James were about to head out to go with Dumbledore to find out where their dormitories were. Sirius stopped Lily. He looked kind of excited. "Lily, I was wondering if you would to go to Hogsmeade sometime, with me?"
"I'd love to." Lily exclaimed blushing.
"Smashing. Catch you later, pretty lady! I think James is mad I'm holding u two up. Bye!" he giving her a suave peck on the cheek.
