Chapter 2
Lily was at King's Cross-Station. She had all of her school equipment. She had gone to Diagon Alley the previous day. She was looking around franticly. Where the hell was platform 9 3/4?! She was getting worried. The train was leaving in 5 minutes! Two girls swinging handbags and holding kittens where chatting. They had kittens! That meant that they where witches. Lily went up to them. "Do you know where platform 9 3/4 is?" Lily asked nervously.
"You must be muggle born. Well, you have to walk through that barrier. You can come with us if you want. You can't let muggles see you," one girl with straight black hair told her. She had pale skin and black lipstick on. Her eyes were hazel. The other one had a tanned face and bright blue eyes. She had light brown curly hair. "I'll show her how," the tanned girl said. She walked towards platform 10 casually. Then she made a sudden swerve and walked into the ticket barrier. Lily closed her eyes for a second. She was going to crash! But when she opened her eyes the girl had gone. Lily stared at the barrier. "Stop staring, muggles 'l get suspitions. Now you go." Lily did what the other girl did. She was on the other side of the ticket barrier. She saw a scarlet steam engine in front of her. She quickly moved out of the way as the other girl came out. "Thanks!" Lily said. "I'm Lily, what's your name?"
"I'm Sarah," the dark haired girl told her.
"Sophie," the other girl said. Lily looked at the clock. They had 30 seconds to get on the train! "We have 30 seconds to get my trunk on!" Lily shrieked.
"No prob!" Sophie said smiling. Sophie pointed her wand at the heavy trunk and said, "Windgardiam leviosa!" she said. The trunk flew up. Sarah made the trunk follow then onto the train. They got on just in time. "Whew!" Lily said. They found an empty compartment.
Sarah had brought a gameboy. She let everyone play on it. About half an hour later the train stopped. It was in the middle of the country. Then suddenly lots of people with masks entered the train. Some hooded figures came into their compartment. Lily suddenly remembered all of the bad things that had happened to her. In the distance she heard 2 voices saying, "Expelto Patrinoum!" Slowly everything started to zoom back into focus. Sophie was white and Sarah looked like a ghost. They where holding their wands. Sophie put her hand in her handbag and drew out 3 chocolate bars. They all ate one. Lily felt better instantly.
She was about to say thank you to Sophie when she noticed that they where gone. Sarah came back for a minute to tell Lily to stay in the compartment. Lily heard screams and cackles. She was in a corner, hiding so that nowbody would see her.
She heard the door slide open. 3 boys entered. One had dark, messy hair all over the place. He had shocking blue eyes and looked quite worried. He turned to another boy with brown hair and eyes. He was also looking worried and very tired. The 3rd boy was short and chubby. He had blonde hair. He was listening to the 1st boy. "Let's look for Sirius. I wonder why the death eaters are here. He turned around and saw Lily. He leaped back. "I thought you where a death eater!" he said. He then saw the kittens. "Aren't those Sophie and Sarah's?" he asked Lily. "Yea," she replied quietly.
"They must have gone after Voldemort," the boy said sighing. The boys went away.
After a little while another boy came in. He was looking a lot more relaxed. He had slimy hair and a huge nose. He was very unattractive. He saw Lily. He looked at her face for a few seconds then went away. Lily had auburn hair and bright green eyes. Boys often had asked her out.
A long time later Sophie and Sarah came back. They said that everything was under control. Lily thanked then for the chocolate. They sat in silence for a while. A lady came with food. Very odd sweeties where being sold, like Chocolate frogs and Bertie Botts every flavour beans. She had eaten a green one, which she thought would be lime or something. It turned out to be bogie. She choked on it while Sophie and Sarah laughed their heads off.
Apparently Sophie and Sarah had handbags that carried anything you wanted and where weightless. They had lamps, which if you put your wand in would zap you to a house inside. Sarah had a mansion with a huge garden outside. It was really nice. She had her bedroom painted dark red. Sophie had a beach house. The beach was private and only people in the lamp could go on it.
The train stopped at Hogsmeade station.
