Is It Love?
Second chapter: On the Hogwarts Express
James dragged Evans as fast as possible to the Gryffindor common room and when they got there Evans, who was still laughing, cast the counter curse on James's robes so that they will become normal again. Then she wanted to walk away but-
"Evans, what about the dorm?" asked a very mad and humiliated Potter.
"What dorm?" Lily pretended to sound innocent.
"My dorms! The ones you covered with pink insults!!!" Potter said while becoming even madder.
"Oh, these dorms." said Lily "Sorry can't help you there."
"What do you mean?" Potter half shouted.
"It's a twenty four hours spell, It will go off alone after that time." she answered sounding very pleased with herself.
"That's it!!!" Potter said "You are warned Evans, from now on you should be very careful with what you are doing, because revenge is coming and if I were you I wouldn't be even sleeping!" And with these words he stormed to his dormitory as fast as he could.
Lily, how ever, wasn't petrified at all, in fact she burst into a big laugh and couldn't control herself for couple of minutes. When she finally did she went up to her own dormitory and sat on her bad with a big smile on her face and waited for her friends to come in.
Meanwhile in the boys dorm James was sitting on his bad too but smiling was the last thing he thought about. The first thing on his mind was how to get back at Evans.
Just then the other Marauders came in.
"That was really." Peter didn't know what to say.
"Funny!" Sirius completed and with that everybody, except James, started laughing.
James just ignored the laughter, he was still thinking about a good prank to pull on Evans.
"I must say that this was an excellent prank." Remus added "sorry Prongs."
"Revenge!" was the only thing James said.
"But of course!" Sirius said, " the question is how?"
"It has to be good!" Peter said.
"What you really need is Lily's weak point." Remus said wisely.
"Yes, and when I will find it Evans will suffer." James said, feeling much better.
"It could take a long time to find that weak point" Remus told him.
"Yes, especially because you and Lily aren't what people call close." Siruis said.
"Thank god we're not, Padfoot." James answered, "And moony, I don't care how much I'll need to wait, it will be worth it."
All four Marauders had the same identical evil grins on their faces as their talk ended and they were starting to pack.
At the girls dormitory's the feeling was much better. When the other three girls came in they looked at Lily with amazement. Then they all started laughing again.
"It is the best prank ever pulled in Hogwarts!" Kathleen said, "Lily, you are the best!"
"People will be talking about it for years!" Anne said.
"The look on Potter's face was the best!" Lily said.
"Don't forget the look on other people's faces when they saw him!" Emily said and they all started laughing again.
Suddenly Lily remembered "Girls, we need to be on the Hogwarts Express in one hour!!!" she said, "And we didn't even started to pack!!!".
They all started to pack immediately.
All the girls were trying their best not to panic because they only had 10 minutes until the train was going to leave, they came running from their dormitory to the common room and BOOM. ran into the Marauders, that were trying to get out from there dorms too because, like the girls, they were late. (A/N the boys had a lot of pranks to pack and the girls had a lot of clothes to pack).
They all got tangled together. Remus, Sirius, Peter, Emily, Kathleen and Anne were under all the bags and Lily fell strait on James!
For a moment Lily and James just looked in each other's eyes. Lily saw in James's eyes something she never saw before.
It wasn't hate like always, but she couldn't really tell what it was.
Suddenly she understood she was looking at him in the same way, but what was that way?
James looked into Lily's eyes and just got lost in them.
As he looked harder into her eyes he saw that the evil look she had always gone.
After a moment or so they both realized that they were looking into the eyes of their biggest enemy-
"Get off Evans!" James said.
"It's not like I enjoy your company Potter!" ily said coldly, "I fell on you because of en accident!".
He looked at her again and the look she had before disappeared.
Then everybody remembered: "The Hogwarts Express!" they shouted in unison and ran to the station.
Fortunately they managed to catch the train but-
"You will have to share a compartment, because you were late and everywhere else is full" the driver explained all of them.
"NO!!!" James and Lily shouted at once.
"Sorry, but that's the only way for you lot to have place!" the driver said.
They all became very upset about this, especially Lily and James.
The Marauders went to end of the compartment and Lily and the girls sat in the beginning.
Lily kept thinking about Potter and the look he had.
If she could just be alone with her friends it would have been much better.
They would gossip a bit, talk about guys and everything.
But they couldn't do anything with the Marauders in the compartment and there was another reason why she hated being with them.
That reason came in that moment to the door -
Shouts of "James", "Siruis", "Remus" - their fan club has arrived!
The "fan club" girls came to the Marauders and sat beside them.
Lily was even more upset, because she knew she will have to hear all these heroic stories the Marauders told the girls and the girls looking at them like they were in some sort of trance, something that Lily has suspected for a long time, and answer "Oh, you are so brave!" and all these stupid comments.
But then something distracted her - a few guys that she knew came to the compartment too to be with her and her friends, which made her very happy.
To make things even better she saw that Potter didn't like the guys at all.
James felt better. He was surrounded with pretty attractive girls and not even Evans can spoil that! He was wrong.
After a minute the group of Evans and her group's guys came in. He really thought that she gave them love potions or something, if not they must be really, really stupid!
He wanted to forget them, and a chance for that came in that second-
"James, it's really cold here" said Venus, a very pretty Ravenclaw.
"You can take me jacket" he said and offered it to her.
She took it and gave him a big smile.
"You know it is really crowded here, why don't we go somewhere more privet?" he continued.
"Of course" she said and together they left the compartment to (you know.)
Lily heard that conversation and it made her mad, he was so. Potter like.
But that wasn't new.
After he left she was happy but she also felt like something was missing.
*I'm probably just missing Hogwarts* she thought. She tried to concentrate in a story that Kathleen was telling but just couldn't.
"Are you ok Lily?" asked a cute Ravenclaw called Mike.
"I'm fine." Lily replied, "Thank you for asking".
"Well, I just don't want you to be upset," He said sweetly "Do you want to go somewhere else? Maybe less crowded?".
"Yes, why not." she said, only after the words came out of her mouth she understood he did exactly what Potter did. Wait! Did she just compare a sweet Ravenclaw to the horrible Potter?
She must be going mad!
*But maybe it's not so horrible* She thought *it's always nice to try new things.*
So she just said: "Meet me in your compartment in 5 minutes, I'm going to the girls bathroom".
She went out of the compartment and headed to the bathroom.
James was busy with Venus and was happy to forget about Evans.He and Venus were in the girls bathroom, but they didn't really care.
They were leaning on the door when somebody opened it and they both fell on the floor. He looked up to see who interrupted them like that and saw-
"Potter!" The redhead said with a surprise mixed with anger.
"Evans! Don't you have a life?" He asked starting to get very, very mad.
"Yes I have, and going to the bathroom is something necessary to it." She said furious.
He got up from the floor and wanted to get out when-
"James!" an angry voice came from the floor. He looked down and saw Venus there, he totally forgot about her!
She went out quickly, giving him an angry glare.
He looked at Evans and saw her smiling.
That smile gave him a hard desire to kick someone - her! But he just walked out back to the compartment.
Lily smiled but felt disgusted, she just found Potter and an ugly girl on the floor making out in the bathroom! Yuck! She lost all her will to be with Mike and just wanted to go back to her friends.
So she came back to the compartment and just then remembered that they were sharing it with the Marauders. She knew that going out again would make Potter happy so she just went in and ignored him.
Anne gave her a surprised look because she saw her walking out with Mike, but she just gave her a look that said that she was tired.
Emily saw the look on Lily's face and in a nice way forced all the boys out and she and all the girls sat near Lily.
But Lily just said: "Want to play exploding snap?".
They all agreed and started playing when all the fan club got out. Lily was very happy to see that Potter wasn't in a good mood.
James decided that it wasn't his day so he made all the girls go out and just played exploding snap with his friends trying his best to forget Evans.
As the train stopped in King's Cross everybody were happy.
James went outside with much more high spirits because he knew he was going to a summer free of Evans.
And Lily was full with joy because she didn't have to see Potter all summer.
A/N well this is the end of the chapter. What do you think about it? Please review!
