Author's Note: I'm reposting this (I'm reposting everything) because it has a new title and a few minor corrections. I added Part Two also and since that, I believe, is the last part it will make this the first chapter story I've ever finished. Hooray! Not that two parts are a lot of chapters precisely…

On the Train

By: the Bumbling Firefly

*

Part One


"I've been working on the railroad all the live long daaaay, I've been working on the railroad just to pass the time awaaaay," Sirius sung as he strolled into the last compartment on the train.

"Sirius, you have a VERY serious problem. Besides yourself. Why in the world are you singing an American folk sing?" asked a girl with long black hair. "It's not very attractive."

"What are you talking about?" sniffed Sirius. "Girls just love me. They swoon whenever they get close."

"Probably from the smell," retorted the girl. She swung her hair over her shoulder and began to pointedly ignore Sirius.

"Oh come on, Kara, you know you love me," Sirius said teasingly. "Doesn't everybody love Sirius Black, Lily? Come on, I know you know the answer."

"Yes, Sirius, I know you know I know the answer and the answer is NO!" Lily emerged from the chess game she was desperately trying to win (and failing miserably).

"Okay, I'm not sure what you just said but somehow I get the feeling it was an insult," Sirius said scratching his head thoughtfully. "Well, what do you think of James? Is he attractive?"

"James is a bastard!" exclaimed Kara, giving up the pretense of ignoring Sirius.

"Care to elaborate?" inquired Sirius, thrilled to death he had a better review than James with these girls (which wasn't saying very much).

"He dumped Mary the day of the Christmas ball and that night he made out with Lynne. FIVE TIMES! The little slut. I don't like Mary but she was sobbing her heart out the whole time, of course no girl in their right MINDS would still like James," Kara sniffed disapprovingly.

"Well what did they expect?" asked Lily innocently. "He is after all James Potter the JERK."

"Did someone say my name?" yelled James popping his head through the door. "LILY! Were YOU talking about ME? I am shocked, I didn't realize you cared!"

"Would someone tell James Potter that he had better get out and stop polluting the air in this compartment with his vile self?" Kara asked.

"And would the same someone inform Potter that if he doesn't get out of here within the next three minutes another someone is going to blow her TOP OFF!" Lily was turning a most unbecoming shade of red.

"James," Sirius began. "Kara says that you need to stop pollut-"

"I heard what they said you pinhead," James said.

"Three minutes is up!" screeched Lily. She lunged at James and was attempting to throttle him when a blond boy walked in.

"James I couldn't find Lily's trunk so I couldn't put any dung- uh oh..." Peter Pettigrew stared nervously at the scene of Lily with her hands around James' neck. "Maybe I should go," he said backing up. "You look a little, um, busy."

"No, it's okay Peter," Lily said sweetly. She had always had a soft spot in her heart for the little guy. "Please continue your first sentence. It sounds rather interesting. I believe you were at the part when you couldn't put any dung....?" She looked beseechingly at Peter and batted her eyes.

"Um, well, uh," Peter dry washed his hands and flicked his glances from James to Lily again. James was shaking his head as vigorously as one could when one's neck was firmly grasped between a female's hands.

"He was going to put dungbombs in the trunk!" sang a delighted Sirius. "Dungbombs, DUNGBOMBS. He was going to put Dungbombs in your trunk and THAT'S the way my stooory goes!"

Lily tackled James with a vengeance.

"Sirius, are you trying to kill me?" choked James frantically attempting to keep Lily's hands from reattaching to his neck. "And you call yourself my best friend!"

"Okay, okay," Sirius said heaving Lily from behind easily. He'd had lot's of experience with that sort of thing. "James, Peter, let's go. We don't need any war casualties yet." He shooed them out the door.

"What are you talking about?" muttered James as he exited massaging his neck. "You're the reason I just had a near death experience!"

Sirius closed the door behind James and Peter. "Ladies, if you ever need inside info as to the where abouts and doings of James T. Potter I am always available for a small fee and-"

"SIRIUS!" bellowed James.

"Got to go," Sirius bowed and swiftly left the room.

Kara sighed with bliss and fell onto the couch. "Sirius..." she moaned dreamily.

"Kara, if you keep acting like you hate Sirius, he is never going to know that you like him," Lily said with a sniff for her friend's folly.

"I could say the same for you," Kara smiled mischievously.

"I never have and never will like James Potter," Lily said. "It takes most of my self-control to keep myself from MURDERING the bloody lunatic."

"What's James' middle name?" asked Kara.

"Tate," answered Lily absent mindedly.

"Lily if you know the guy's middle name you obviously feel SOMETHING for him," Kara looked as if she knew everything.

"That is absolutely ridiculous unless you are talking about my feelings of pure hatred. I know his middle name for material purposes only. Like sending howlers. You really need to do some background research before sending a truly good Howler," Lily defended.

"Okay," sighed Kara shaking her head. "All I can say is you'll feel better once you let you're true feelings be known."

"You really want to know how I feel about James?" Lily's voice was soft. "Is the door closed? Okay..." Lily blushed rosily. "I think James is..."

Author's Note: This is a little weirder than I remembered it but, oh well! I did get some positive reviews!
