Chapter twelve: Starting Over
Lily entered the train on September the first looking for her two best friends, Macy and Hallie. She made a round through the train, but didn't find them so she decided to get a compartment.
She got a rather big one near the front of the train. She hauled her trunk inside and put it in the compartment nicely and left her sweater on the seat, a clue to others that the cabin was taken. Then she went out to look for Macy and Hallie.
Her hair was now rather short. It went until her shoulders and fell back into bouncy curls tied in a ponytail. She wore a pair of jeans and a blue tank top and a pair of sneakers. She was so concentrated in looking for Darleen that she didn't see James and Darleen getting into a compartment and went crashed headlong into James. Lily was knocked to the floor. "Ow." she moaned "My head." James noticing her, extended a hand and helped her up. He didn't recognize her. "Oh. I'm terribly sorry." Then he said. "You look familiar, but, are you new? I'm James Potter." Lily looked at him and raised an eyebrow. " Funny you don't recognize me James." she said skeptically. James took a closer look and noticed her jade eyes. " Lily?" he said uncertainly. "About time." answered Lily. "Oh, I didn't recognize you. You've changed so much." he exclaimed. Lily blushed. "Yeah. Maybe a bit." Just then Darleen came out of the compartment. She saw Lily and didn't recognize her. " Oh hello. You must be new. I'm Darleen Harper." Lily shot a piercing gaze at Darleen and then spoke up. " I see you've forgotten my name Harper." Darleen's face suddenly darkened. "Evans. What are you doing here?" "Searching for Macy and Hallie." "Then go search for them and get out of here before you contaminate our compartment." "Fine. I'll leave. I don't want to be here anyways in the precence of a TRAITOR". Lily threw out the last word as if it were poison, then she turned and left.
Lily walked fast down the hallway, straight to her compartment. She had decided that she wasn't going to look for Macy and Hallie. If they wanted to be with her, they would find her and it was final. Lily didn't look forward to bumping into Darleen again or even worse, Paul. So she just decided that it would be best if she just sat in her compartment and waited.
And so she did. The minutes slid by slowly and endlessly. It seemed an eternity till 11 o'clock. And she found herself angry and upset. Then, in the middle of her thoughts the compartment door slid open. Lily awakened form her angry trance and looked up expectantly hoping to see Hallie and Macy in the doorway. But instead stood a rather short girl with a messy brown-haired braid. "Oh. Sorry, it's just that all the compartments are taken, I thought this one wasn't. May I come here?" she said. Lily nodded. The girl sighed. "Thanks man. I'll just get my trunk inside." Moments later she hauled her trunk inside and placed it nicely in the compartment. Then she slumped down beside Lily. She blew a stray lock of hair and tucked it behind her ear. " Oh. How rude of me. I'm Arabella Figg, and you?" said the girl suddenly. "Lily Evans." said Lily cheerfully, yet she still had a rather glum expression on her face. Arabella noticed this and waisted not time in pointing it out. "Hey girl, why are you so glum?" she said. Lily shrugged. "Nothing important." "Awwwwwww come on, tell old Bella about it." Arabella insisted.
Lily didn't really care, so she told her. "I ran into someone I miss and someone that I hate." Arabella smiled sympathetically. "Darleen and James?" she asked. Lily was shocked. "How'd you know about that?" she asked. Arabella grinned. "I just know those things hun." Lily looked skeptical. "Yeah right Bella. You want me to believe that?" she said ironically. Arabella gave up. "All right. I ran into you when you ran into them. And Macy and Hallie updated me on all the gossip since they're not comming this year..." but Arabella was cut off by Lily. "WHATDOYOUMEANTHEY'RENOTCOMING????!!!!" she screeched. Arabella backed off. "Oh. They didn't. Tell you?" she said stuttering. "No." said Lily angrily. "Well..." Arabella hesitated " ...they were transferred to Beuxbatons. They were told a week ago. They told me everything because they needed someone to carry on their gossip legacy. I was transferred in Macy's place and a nut called Rita Skeeter was transferred in Hallie's." Lily fell silent and muttered an "Oh. SOrry Bella." Then the train ride began.
