Chapter 2

Lily approached the train station pushing her trolley alone. Petunia had refused to get out of the car and wouldn't let their parents either. Lily sighed glad to be out of the screaming.

"Platform 9 3/4, wonder where that is" Lily thought out loud.

"Muggle are you?" some one whispered to her.

Lily whirled around to see a sandy hair boy with deep blue grinning at her pushing a trolley with a barn owl on it.

"What?"

"non-magic person"

"Oh yea, right"

"Here follow me"

He led her to the barrier and walked through. Lily gasped and stared dumbly at the barrier. His head popped out a second later. "Coming?" Lily took a breath and rammed toward the barrier. She sighed as she looked around and spotted the sign: Platform 9 ¾. The boy was gone.

Struggling with her luggage she searched for an empty compartment. At the last one there were only two boys sitting there chattin. Lily stuck her head in, "Uh do you mind if I um sit here? Everywhere else is ..uh… full."

"Sure need help with your luggage?"

"Yes please thank you"

When she settled inside, the boys introduced themselves.

"Hey! Sirius Black at your service" grinned the boy with shaggy with stormy grey eyes.

"James Potter." Introduced a cute boy with messy hair and brown pool eyes that Lily somehow recognized.

"You'll probably want to talk to some girls." Said Sirius

"Yea, Bella is coming back soon" James grinned exchanging evil grins with Sirius.

Suddenly the compartment door banged open. A slim girl rushed in holding a wand and dangling a silvery cloak behind her.

"Why speak of the lord, Bella, daaaaaaaaaahling!" meet our new friend, Lily!" grinned Sirius

James cut him off, "did you do it?"

"Yup! I turned the slimeball's robes invisible," grinned the girl

"Hey I know you!" interrupted Lily.

The girl twirled around and gave a curtsey. "Anastasia Isabella Maiza. Pleased ta meet ya. Call me Bella," she said in a fake French accent.

Before Lily could reply a scream could be heard through out the train, " ANASTASIA MAIZA, JAMES POTTER AND SIRIUS BLACK, I'M GONNA GET YOU FOR THIS!!!!" Seconds later a boy with greasy hair wearing only boxers stomped into the compartment followed closely by a boy with pale blond. Bella had stuffed the cloak in to her pocket. "Nice seeing you Snape and Malfoy too." Bella said smiling pleasantly.

"you you" stammered Snape with helpless rage.

"I'm what?" Bella asked shaking with laughter

"Oh never mind" glared Snape. The one named Malfoy turned around and surveyed Lily. "Who are you?"

"Lily Evans"

"What's a pretty thing like you hanging around dirt like them?"

Lily burned with helpless rage. "Shut up!"

Malfoy reached over and grabbed Lily by the wrist. "Hey sweetie I know you want m.."

Bella had whipped out her wand "Accio Lily" and Lily was pulled from his grip and pulled by invisible forces to Storm. Lily just heard Sirius mutter under his breath, "hey that's for 4th year"

"Sorry to say boys, Lily's unavailable," grinned Bella

"O yea whose the lucky winner," sneered Malfoy

James stood up and put his arm around Lily's waist causing Lily to blush 10 shades of red, "Can I help you?"

Snape glared and whipped out his wand. Lily trembled a little but before he could do anything Bella stood up. " Boy's nothing violent here. We want you to get to Hogwarts in one piece don't we?" Bella grinned mockingly and whipped out her wand and started twirling it like a baton between her fingers. Amazingly the two boys backed away with a look of terror on their faces and edged out of the compartment. "Nice boxers, Snape" Bella called after them. Finally James released Lily, "Sorry bout that. Had to"

"Way to go Bella!" the boys chorused. Bella grinned, "Well it was really nothing since your talking to the queen of prankster." Bella plopped down next to Lily. That's when Lily recognized James eyes, "Hey you and James have identical eyes only Bella's are blue and James's are brown!" exclaimed Lily to Bella. "James, you explain," smiled Storm.

"Well you see my great, great, great, great, great grandma was cousins with Bella's great, great, great, great, great grandpa. So we're distant cousins"

Now that Lily was close up to Bella she could see that there was blue glitter in her hair that had caused the shimmery affect. "I like your glitter." Bella beamed, "it's natural" "Er how?"

"Well you see, I'm 1/28th veela so I got a bit of it in my genes"

"Veela?"

"They're humans that are beautiful woman that have you know all that pretty stuff. They're all most a different species"

"OOOO"

Lily turned to the boys to, "How do y'all know each other?" Sirius replied, "Well James and Bella are Cousins and I live down the street from them. Mum also made us go to muggle school for 5 years together with (amazingly) Snape too.

Later after the food trolley came, James turned toward Lily and Bella who were chatting away about their families, "Lily, Bella, can ya gals leave so can change into our robes?"

"Right"

"Kay"

Lily and Bella slammed the compartment door behind themselves. They entered a compartment with 3 girls in it. Two of the girls immediately stood up and greeted them a little over excitedly. A tall girl with silky brown hair, "I'm Michelle Feeny and that's Chandler Hill" she gestured to the slim girl with dirty blond hair. From first impression the two seemed like flirts to Lily. Bella whispered her opinion, "Big time flirts" and made a face.

Storm turned to the third girl that was sitting alone reading Hogwarts a History.

"HI" Bella said plopping down by her.

The girl had large sincere blue eyes and dark blond hair, "Hey, I'm Adrianna Costello" Lily pointed to Bella, "That's Anastasia Maiza and I'm Lily Evans." "Call me Bella," interrupted Bella, "It's my middle name.

The Adriana smiled, "That's a pretty name"

"What's you middle name Adriana?"

"Oh. Mine is Fia"

Bella grinned, "I'm calling you Fia then."

Adianna grinned, "Sure."

Suddenly Bella turned, "Lil' you didn't tell me you middle name."

"It's Anna-Marie"

"Well I'm calling ya Lil"

Just then James Poked his head in, "Bella, Lil' you guys can come in and change. We'll give you girls some privacy." Before they could respond, Michelle and Chandler butted in, "HI there," Michelle purred winking at James. "What's your name, honey?"

Bella glared at the two girls, sighed and dragged Lily back into their compartment who had been staring at them. "Come on, James loves flirting with girls, it's okay"

Lily snapped out of it, "what? What do you mean it's okay?

"Well you do like him, don't ya?"

Lily blushed, "How did you know?"

"Everyone does, it's his *natural talent*, so he says"

"You won't tell him will you?"

"Are you kidding me? Course not. What do you think I am?"

"Thanks"

"What are friends for?"

"Best friends?"

"Best friends."
