Angel Eyes
Chapter Four
Lily felt panic arise in the pit of her stomach as she stared at the person she knew, or thought she knew. Only a mere seconds passed since he asked her if he could sit in the same compartment, but to her it was hours.
"Pardon, could we sit here?" A voice interrupted her thoughts.
Lily reluctantly took her eyes off the boy she was staring at, and turned her gaze to another taller dark haired boy. She realized that he was not alone.
"Wh-wh-what?" She stuttered, trying to think of a way of escape. I could jump out the window, she desperately thought.
"My name is Siruis Black and he is," he gestured his hand towards the boy, "James Potter."
"Wh-what?" Lily stuttered again. I must look extremely stupid, she thought. She looked back at James and realized that he was not the same James, but a different boy with the same unruly black hair. The only major difference was he was slightly shorter, and wore glasses over his light blue eyes. He also looked very bewildered at Lily's behavior. Oh, boy, she thought, they must think I am retarded or something on that level.
"Sure," she finally answered their question. By this time they were both giving her strange looks. Sirius sat only a foot away from her while James sat on a chair across from him.
"So, what's your name?" Sirius asked smiling. Lily was too nervous being with two boys in a compartment alone to answer his question. She quickly turned her face and stared at the passing trees, trying to ignore her rapid heart beat.
"Ummh," Sirius cleared his throat, " A bit shy aren't you?" Oh, for goodness sakes I am being rude, thought Lily. She looked at Sirius and said, "Lily Figgs."
"Lily," repeated the boy named James. He gave her an encouraging smile.
"Figgs? What type of a wizard name is that? I have never heard of it," realization dawned on Sirius as he added, "Aww, you must be from a muggle family." He and James both nodded in agreement before Lily had a chance to reply.
"A muggle? What's that?" Curiosity overruled her fear.
"Why it is what we called non-magic people," James said smugly. I am so stupid, thought Lily. There must be a million things that I don't know; how am I ever going to fit in.
"Don't worry," James replied as if reading her thoughts, "There will be a lot of kids in our class from muggle families."
"Have you ever been to Hogwarts?" Lily asked. They both shook their heads.
"I haven't," Sirius said, "But my brother, Aschere, is in the third year."
"What is Aschere up to?" Asked James.
"Probably kissing Malfoy's ass," sneered Sirius, "He disgraced the family by getting into Slytherin, he did." Sirius became very interested in his hands as he finished his sentence. Lily felt that the conversation has entered unwanted territory, even though she desperately wanted to ask what Slytherin was and why it was a disgrace.
"Slytherin is one of the houses at Hogwarts," James explained, "There are four houses: Hufflepuff, Griffindor, Slytherin and Ravenclaw."
"Is there a good or bad house?" asked Lily desperately not wanting to sound stupid.
"My father says that….." He was interrupted by the arrival of the greasiest looking boys Lily has ever seen. One was very tall with the blondest hair ever imaginable and a sneer on his face. The other one was shorter and greasier with shoulder length black hair and a very pointy chin.
"Well, what do we have here," sneered the one with black hair, "Messy hair with glasses, you must be a Potter." He lifted up his head so his chin was pointing at James Potter.
