"Evans, wake up." James Potter shook Lily awake.
"Ungh." Lily groaned. "Where's Sirius?"
"He left." James rolled his eyes. "What, are you going out with him or something?"
Lily glared. "He and Selene are my best friends."
"Oh, I'm sorry." James said, clearly irritated.
"We did it!" Sirius let out a cry of victory as he entered the compartment again.
"Did what?" Lily asked sleepily.
"Oh, good morning, Lils." Sirius bent down and gave Lily a quick kiss on the cheek. "We brought you a chocolate frog."
Lily smiled. "Thanks. Did what?"
"Oh, nothing important." Sirius said quickly.
"Tell me," Lily whined.
"Just found Longbottom's pet." Remus said. "He was asking us where it was for hours."
"Was I really asleep that long?" Lily shook her head in disbelief.
"You slept like the dead," James scoffed. "Then again, you look like the dead, too."
"Shut up." Lily glowered at James and then stretched, revealing more of her abs than she had wanted. She blushed and tugged her shirt back down.
"We found Lune, if you want to go join her." Sirius sat down. "She has room."
Lily looked over at Potter's smirking mouth. "I want to go join her." Lily said.
"I thought so." Sirius looked at James, a reprimanding look in his dark eyes. "I'll take you over there. Do you need anything?"
"My robes and my wand, I guess." Lily said, suddenly uncomfortable about James' irritatingly sharp eyes on her. She silently thanked whatever Power there was out there that the intense look was clouded by his glasses.
"C'mon, then." Sirius took Lily's arm and handed her the black, billowing Hogwarts robes inscribed with 'Lily Evans'. He took her down the hall until they reached one of the middle compartments and then let her go. "I'll see you at Hogwarts." He smiled.
"See you." Lily hugged Sirius lightly and stepped into Selene's compartment.
Selene rose. "Oh, Lily! Was it horrible?" She embraced Lily and then invited her to sit. Lily noticed with thankfulness that Selene's compartment was one of the only two-person ones.
"I slept through most of it, thankfully." Lily sighed and sat down. "Sirius let me use him as a pillow."
"Sirius fancies you!" Selene grinned, her pale face lighting up with excitement.
"He certainly does not."
"Does to."
"Does not."
"Does to."
"Does not."
"Fine, Lily." Selene sighed. "Don't say I didn't warn you."
"I won't have an occasion to."
The train lurched to a stop. "What?" Selene and Lily exclaimed as the lights flickered off. Screams and cries of irritation filled the train.
"What happened?" Lily asked, panicking. Selene shook her head in oblivion.
"Please do not panic!" Professor McGonagall's booming voice filled the halls. Suddenly, all the screaming stopped. "We are experiencing some technical difficulties. Please remain calm. We will back on the track soon."
"Technical difficulties?" Lily heard Sirius grumble outside her and Selene's compartment. "They expect us to believe that?"
"Shh," Remus tried to shush Sirius. Lily and Selene heard an 'oof' as Remus elbowed Sirius. They exchanged a glance and laughed.
"Great job, now they know we're here!" Sirius scolded Remus.
Lily stood and opened the compartment door. "Hello, boys. What can I do for you today?" She asked sweetly.
"Hi, Lily." Remus blushed.
"We were just checking to make sure you two were okay, Lils." Sirius grinned. "I see that you are, so I'll leave you in peace now."
"Mmm hmm." Lily tugged on Remus' and Sirius' sleeves and tugged them into the compartment. "Now, explain yourselves."
"Well, you see-" Remus started, obviously flustered.
"We wanted to know if you knew anything about why the power went out." Sirius asked. "Pettigrew seems to be amused."
"Why would I know? You're the ones who hang out with him." Lily said. "I hate Pettigrew."
"Don't we all." Selene laughed. "So are you boys going back to your compartment?"
Remus caught Selene's eye for a second and blushed profusely. "Do you want us to get you anything? Or we'll stay, if you want us to stay. Or go. Or-"
"I think they get it, Remus." Sirius smiled once more at Lily and Selene and tugged Remus out of the compartment.
"He's really cute." Selene said suddenly.
Lily sat down. "Who?"
"Remus Lupin,"
"I thought you didn't like bookworms."
"He isn't a bookworm,"
"He's really shy,"
"So? He's really sexy. Sexy shy guy."
"Your names match."
"Selene Lupin. I like it."
"We're only 16. It's hardly time to be thinking about marriage." Lily scoffed.
"Selene Lupin and Lily Black." Selene teased.
"Okay, now you will die." Lily got up and began to walk over to Selene, who laughed.
"Lily Potter!" Selene cried out, doubling over with laughter. "Lily Snape!"
"Take it back!" Lily began to tickle Selene, making Selene cry out in laughter.
"I can't breathe!"
"Take it back!"
"Okay, okay. I take it back." Selene complied. Lily stood and walked back to her own seat.
"That's better." Lily grinned.
The lights flickered back on and a scratchy voice filled the halls, laughing. Lily and Selene's eyes filled with fright.
"Voldemort."
"Ungh." Lily groaned. "Where's Sirius?"
"He left." James rolled his eyes. "What, are you going out with him or something?"
Lily glared. "He and Selene are my best friends."
"Oh, I'm sorry." James said, clearly irritated.
