Chapter Six
Are we there yet, are we there yet...
Lily had claimed the last compartment, even if the others weren't all full yet. Sirius's and her own trunks were there, along with Sirius's owl Black Owl. (Black Hole, Black Owl, Sirius found it utterly hilarious.)
"Bye, Thorne!" Lily gave her little brother a huge hug and he returned it. "Be good, stay with the Blacks as much as you want, don't let Petunia and Mum and Father get to you, 'kay? Keep your grades up, too! Promise?"
He grinned. It looked remarkably like Lily's. "I promise, Lils. I'll be good and all the crap."
Then Lily smacked him. "I don't want to hear bad words out of your mouth."
Thorne looked hurt in his big green eyes. "Crap's a bad word?" Lily laughed and told him he could say it next summer. She'd already said good-bye to the Blacks so she went to see what Vega was up to while Sirius told his family farewell.
"Hiya, Vega."
He grinned, and so did his friends. "Hey, girl. Sirius saying bye?" She nodded. "Oh, guys, this is my brother's best friend. She'll be a first year."
All his friends pretty much gawked. "She's a firsty?" "A friend of little Siris?" "She's eleven?" and so on.
"Actually, I'm ten till December," Lily told them Then they introduced themselves.
One's name was Jamal Jordan. His hair was in dreads an he looked pretty nice. Another one was Michael Bishop with blond hair and blue eyes and dimples. (How is he friends with Vega, Lily wondered.) The last was a boy with black hair and brown eyes. He was Hispanic, Lily remembered. Lily had actually met all these boys before, since they'd all visited the Black's house the summer after his first year, right before second year. This one was Vega's ablsolute best friend. His name was Diego Hernandez.
"You boys don't remember me, do you?"
Vega laughed. "Of course they remember you, Lils. Y'all remember Evan, right?" I their eyes were wide before, well...Let's just say they were big now.
"This is our little Evan, Veg? Evan, as in the one that broke my arm and made my hair blue for a whole year?" Vega nodded at Diego and the boy laughed, pulling Lily into a hug. The other two high-fived her and told her that she'd grown.
Lily grew tired of them, as they were talking like old relatives who had nothing better to do than pinch cheeks. Settling into her seat in the compartment, in walked James Potter.
"Hey, Evan." Get grinned and took a seat. "Mind if I stay in here for the ride?"
"Looks like you're already pretty comfortable, Potter." The boy shrugged.
"Guess so. Oh, by the way, I'm gonna get you for the lip thing."
Puzzled at first, then she remembered. The lip. This summer, war, Potters. She told him to dream on.
The compartment door slid open again. Nope, it wasn' Sirius as Lily thought. It was the boy Remus they'd met at Diagon Alley.
"Sure, you can sit here, Remus. I don't mind." Remus took the seat next to Lily.
"Oh, Remus. This is James Potter. Nah, he's a wuss, don't let the name get to ya." Before James could interject, she went on. "Jamie, this is Remus Lupin. Me and Siri met him in Diagon Alley not that long ago. He's a firsty, too."
They heard Sirius before they saw him. His laugh was unmistakeable. Then they heard a scream. "BLACK!!"
For the third time Lily heard the door slide open. Sirius nearly collapsed in hysterics. "Snape, the prat...Hot pink...hot pants...tube top..." He couldn't talk any more. James soon joined him in the laughter, having looked out the compartment. Lily just grinned.
"Severus Snape," Lily began to explain to Remus, "is basically Sirius's mortal enemy. Sirius, with James, and Snape, with this guy Malfoy. It's pretty funny being in the same room with the four."
"Fist prank of the school year, boys! Erm, and Lily." Lily rolled her eyes and told him to stop doing that. Sirius and James knew that Lily was just one of the guys. "Oh my God, that was priceless." Apparently he'd recovered.
"So, Severus Snape--Cross Dresser? Sounds interesting. I don't think I'll look, though. No nightmares for me tonight." Lily laughed at Remus's remark. She remembered he'd said he loved mischief.
Sirius took a seat, a grin plastered on his face. It would remain there for the rest of the ride.
The first half of the rise was all that eventful. The four sat around and talked. They all seemed to like Remus a whole lot, and vice-versa. He didn't talk about himself all that much. When asked directly, he'd cut it short and make it simple.
They talked of pranks and quidditch teams. (Okay, that was more Sirius and James. Remus, it seems, like Lily, wasn't a big fan of quidditch. They both liked the idea of dueling.) They played exploding snap and gobstones. They talked about pranks and pranks and was pranks already written down?
Around two or three a lady with a cart came around. There were sweets and sweets. Lily rode it off and said she wasn't ungry. She didn't have any money. James and Sirius bought tons and tons, and they shared, of course.
Remus didn't like chocolate, he said. He loved wizarding cards, though, it semed like! Sirius used to collect a few, and Lily didn't see the point.
"I just like to know the best of the best. Then, one day, I know who I can point and laugh at when I beat them all." Sirius stared. James looked a bit uncomfortable. Lily laughed.
"That's good way to think of things, Remus." The single girl in the group grinned. It was a nice idea, knowing who you would over come in your life. Knowing that they were once better than you, and now it was vice-versa.
Evans bit the head off of a chocolate frog, then clenched her teeth onto the card and slid it out. She looked at it.
Merlin
The man with graying hair winked at her. Lily winked back.
Merlin--Said to have lived over every period of time and has died over three times. Probably most famous for his work with King Arthur and the Sword in the Stone. Currently missing with sitings reported. Little to no information about is childhood.
Grabbing his shoulder, Lily asked Remus, "Hey, mind if I keep this one? And a Dumbledore?" Remus shook his head and told her to go ahead and take them.
"Oh!" Lily suddenly shouted, excitedly.
"What?" Chorused the other three.
Lily began to rummage in her trunk. She came up with her robed and her wand. "I'm going to change, you boys do the same. You're just lucky I'm not being that lazy today--" Here Sirius coughed and Lily kicked him hard in the shin. Yes, HARD. "--or I would've made y'all get out. Now, when I get back...Well, I just hope ou boys like surprises." With that, she left.
"What do you think she meant, Sirius?" James inquired, digging out his robes.
Sirius shook his head. "I dunno, James...But I'm a little scared."
Remus laughed. "How come Lily intimidates you two so much?"
Then Sirius and James stared. Then laughed, and then recovered.
"Lily is a very scary person, Remus. Very scary," James started.
Sirius shook his head. "No...Well, okay, to a certain extent. It's just that Lily has special circumstances. There's something about Lily..."
"What are the bruises from?"
Sirius looked uncomfortable. "Never speak of that to Lily, okay? Never. Lily is my responsibility. She had been and will be for a long time. Can we just drop it now?"
Just when Sirius finished pulling his robes over his head, Lily was back. Her wand was in her hand.
"...Lily?" James asked apprehensively.
"Change saeta puteulanus!" Pretty black hair was now a blue. Oh yes, blue. "Nice little spell, hmm? I thought so. It'll come in handy, I think."
"That's so cool!" Remus exclaimed. His gray eyes were wide. "So you say...Change saeta and then the color?"
Lily nodded. "Change saeta...then, like puteulanus, rutilus aurum, argentum, viridis, atra, or crocus. Those are all he Hogwarts colors, aren't they? Blue, red, gold, silver, green, black, and yellow."
"Pyropus, Lily. You forgot bronze." She shrugged James's comment off. "Now, my hair...?"
"Keep whining and it'll stay that way, Jamie." Grinning, she ignored his icy glare and turned back to Remus. "You also need to swish to your right, then your left, and flick. Do it in rhythm with words. To reverse...." She pointed her wand at James's head.
"Ostendo sum saeta." It was back to it's pretty black color.
"ATTENTION: We Will Be Arriving At Hogwarts Shortly."
Lily could've squealed.
