Chapter two * * * * The hustle and bustle of Kings Cross station was deafening. Lily found herself getting lost into the crowd. "Urggh," she said aloud as a middle aged man shoved Lily's shoulder.

With a great effort, she managed to get onto platform 9 ¾. Stopping to get her breath, she had a chance to look for the other members of the Minxes.

Through the crowd she noticed a mop of messy black hair that could never be mixed up with anyone else.

"Hi Jamie," she said as he came toward her. He had a glint in his eye.

"Hi, Chick pea," he replied, chick pea being his pet name for her. He reached out for her hand, and took it. "Ahh, you have no idea how much I missed you over the holidays," he said.

"Not as much as you missed Snape," she quipped giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. She laughed as she watched his face contort into a ball of disgust. He opened his mouth to object.

"You have got to be joking! If I never see that greasy, pureblood that thinks his farts don't stink ever again it'll be too-"

"Too what?" came a voice from behind the pair. They quickly looked around. Snape stood with his arms crossed, and behind him were Crabbe and Goyle (dads of the future Crabbe and Goyle).

"Speaking of the devil." muttered Lily. She looked at Snape and frowned. James laughed at Snape.

"Too soon. Too sodding soon." Snape's face didn't flinch.

"Get used to this face, one day you'll be working with this 24 hours a day. as my servant!" Snape retorted, looking smug. Crabbe and Goyle just guffawed.

"Yeah, the day pigs fly!" James spat, Lily laughed. Someone else laughed too. It was Sirius. He had crept up behind them.

"And you'll be one of them, those flying pigs. Great for parties!" James and Lily snorted with laughter. Imagining Snape as a pig was just about as fun as seeing (the future) Malfoy as a ferret.

Suddenly, Lucious Malfoy walked up to Snape and his gang. "Why don't you and the mudblood disappear? You're cramping our style," he said. His eyes focused on James.

"What style?" muttered Lily. Sirius tried to disguise his laughter for a cough.

"All too happy to, we'll see you around," said James, ". or smell you, whatever comes first." With that, they left, almost doubled up with laughter.

An evil glint in Sirius's eye caught James's attention. "What are you thinking of?" asked James. Lily looked over at Sirius. He was thinking of something alright.

"PleasecanweturnSnapeintoaflyingpig?" he rushed, then gasped for breath.

"Huh?" James and Lily asked in unison.

"Please. Can. We. Turn. Snape. Into. A. Flying. Pig?" Sirius repeated. The gleam (if possible) was stronger that ever.

"Perhaps my friend, perhaps.," said James, ".Only if we turn Malfoy into a ferret!" They snorted once again.

At that moment, Remus and the rest of the Marauders and Minxes caught the trio.

"Oh, there you are!" said Remus, "We were looking for you!" Eyeing them trying to stifle their laughter, he asked "What's so funny?"

With this the trio burst into laughing again. Lily calmed herself down and explained. "They're gonna turn Snape into a flying pig." Sirius butted in, "Don't forget Malfoy! We're gonna turn him into a ferret!"

"That's genius!" exclaimed Remus, his eyes shining.

"We know, we know. Problem is, we have to figure out how. A mutant version of the Polyjuice Potion?" Sirius thought aloud. "We'll think of that later, on the train. If we don't hurry up, we'll miss it!" said Remus. * * * * On the cabin, the 8 coolest people of Hogwarts sat down in their usual cabin.

The Marauders were in the corner, hatching schemes. This left time for the Minxes to catch up.

"Hey Paige," said Bella, "What's up with you?" Paige was looking out the window, watching the scenery pass.

"Nothing much," she sighed again. She had long black hair, with a slight wave to it. She was tall, sexy, naturally and her eyes were hazel green. She was a Euro-Asian, part Vietnamese and part English. Her dad was English, her mum was Vietnamese, and they were both magical.

"No, really, what's wrong?" asked Bella.

Paige sighed. "It's just that. I don't know how I'm gonna make it through Hogwarts this year."

The rest of the Minxes turned around, suddenly interested.

Lily looked thoroughly concerned, in fact, the whole group looked concerned. "Honey, what's eating you?" Emma asked gently. Emma was what you called a classic beauty. Her long chestnut hair swept down past her waist. She had blue almond shaped eyes.

Paige started to cry. "It's just that my brother died last week. The funeral was yesterday. He was one of my closest friends. He was only 10!"

The Minxes looked shocked. They had all fell in Love with Eric Lovejoy. He was an adorable 10 year. It just seemed so wrong that someone so innocent could die like that.

"I'm, I'm sorry," said Lily. The Minxes rushed around Paige to comfort her.

The rest of the trip was mainly consoling, except for right at the end. * * * *

Hmmm, bad place to leave it, but I had to put SOMETHING up by today. Anyway, The new chapter should be up soon. Keep those reviews coming!
