Chapter 3
Then without any outward signs of remorse, he draped one arm over Sirius's shoulders and the other over Remus's, Peter stood beside Remus, and all four heads, bent down, low enough so that James could whisper, "Ok, here's what we'll do."
The train station was noisy, it was always noisy, and now was no exception. Lily saw other Hogwarts students struggling with heavy trunks and unwieldy trolleys, some of them were probably first years, desperately trying to fit in and not stand out.
Petunia had dropped her off at the train station, and without as much as a goodbye, she drove away quickly as possible. Her relationship with her sister was strained ever since she had started Hogwarts, no ever since she had gotten her first owl letter. And becoming a prefect had only made things worse. Lily wanted to have a normal relationship with her sister, but Petunia only pushed her away. A small sigh escaped her lips, and she resolutely pushed her trolley forward.
At last she reached the barrier, only to find several younger students standing around it looking lost. Must be first years, she thought. "Alright everybody, to get on to the platform, all you have to do is walk through the barrier, now if you're a little scared you might want to run, but it's the only way to get on the platform."
They all wore identical, I don't believe you expressions. We really need to include something about getting on the platform in the acceptance letter, she thought.
Suppressing a frustrated noise in the back of her throat, and spying James close by, and plan hit Lily like lightening. "Alright, since you don't believe me then, perhaps what you need is a demonstration." Raising her voice a little more, "James, could you please show these students how to get on the platform?"
James, looked up at the sound of his name, and saw an obviously, very frustrated Lily, "No problem, Lils," and with a wave to all the first years he took a run at the barrier, and ran right though it.
Several gasps could be heard, and then Sirius, Remus, and Peter went through too. "Alright everyone, line up, and go though one at a time. Remember it's easier at a bit of a run."
This time they listened, and as the last one went through Lily followed.
Her feet were moving, and the rest of her body wasn't with them, panicking slightly, she tried to regain her balance only to further propel herself down harder to the ground, her eyes closed as she landed on her back, and laid very still. Pain shot through her body, and after it faded she realized her foot was in something wet.
Great, I've slipped on a puddle of water, she thought, maybe nobody noticed.
Her eyes flickered open, and she saw people standing around her watching her carefully. She looked at the train and saw that every window was crammed with at least two faces all silently regarding her.
So much for anonynomity, again that sigh was heard.
Somebody held out a hand, gratefully she grabbed it, and was pulled up to her feet only to look at the face of Snape. "Are you ok," he asked, concern was etched in his features.
"I'm fine," she said with a little nod, and then winched as pain once again coursed through her body, "thank you."
"It was nothing, after all we can't have you disgracing the image of a prefect," he said, the smirk was back, and he turned around and walked away.
"Hey, Lily, was Snape just talking to you," a boisterous Sirius made his way into Lily's field of vision.
"Yes," she said calmly, "He was helping me up, because I tripped."
The rest of the Marauders now joined Sirius. Lily could see the Prefect pin on James's shoulder, darn, she had hoped it was just one of their jokes. It was probably too much for James to take his responsibilities seriously.
"Hey Lily, do you need any help putting your trunk on the train?" it was Peter, he smiled.
Lily looked him over carefully; she didn't trust any of the Marauders not to pull some sort of a prank with her things. He looked trustworthy, but could she be sure? "Thanks Peter." She said gratefully.
Peter grabbed her trunk, and made his way to the back of the train where the baggage was being loaded.
"We saved you a compartment, Lily." Sirius was trying to keep a straight face and failing miserably.
Lily was immediately alert. "What are you all up to?" She demanded. "I don't have a problem with taking points away from Griffindor, if that's what I have to do to keep you in line."
"Lily," James said with an angelic tone, but a twinkle in his eyes, "I'm a prefect now. I'll keep these jokers in line."
"The only question I have is which line you're talking about," and with that as a final statement, Lily got onto the train, and went to find her own compartment.
They were up to something. The question is WHAT? And could she find out before they had a chance to implement it. It was going to be an interesting year, that was for sure. Hopefully she wouldn't have to take too many points away from Griffindor.
Lily pulled out Charms for all Occasions, the other night she had gotten half way though it and she thought she should be able to finish it up on the train ride.

Lily didn't have many friends, she worked hard at school, like she had something to prove, but that seemed to be enough for her. She had earned the respect of most of the school with her diligence; even a couple Slytherins respected her.
"Ok, so part one went well," James said, he was in his element, designing and carrying out pranks. The Remus, Sirius and himself had taken over a compartment and covered the walls with maps and lists and potion recipes and spells and anything else they could possibly use in this The First Prank of the Year. They were just waiting for Peter.
At that exact moment, Peter burst into the compartment, "Its all ready." He huffed, "But Snape almost caught me, he looked suspicious when I left him."
"That's ok," James said, "Now does everyone know what they're doing?"
"Yep," chorused the boys, they were excited, this was the most extravagant prank they had ever undertaken.
"Lily's trunk is ready," Peter piped up.
"The Potion is ready," Remus said with a grin, he loved a good prank.
"And I've mastered the charm to distract the professors," Sirius said, his grin even wider than Remus's.
"Good," James said, "We're ready, all I have to do is distract Lily."
Thanks to my reviewers, you've given me the enthusiasm to write another chapter.
Buggy-such - I'm not very good at summaries, actually this my first story, but I'll work on it.
Sagaxus - Yes, Arabella, is Arabella Figg sorry if that was confusing. She'll have a bigger part later on, but not too big.
Prankster Queen - THANKYOU
A/N: Well, what do you think, Keep it or leave it; I'm still not sure which.
