Chapter 3:

The Train Ride

By UltimateFairyQueen

*~*~*

The landscape of the world outside the train was beautiful. Lily was sitting in an empty compartment since she didn't have any friends at the school yet and found a tear roll down her check when no one paid her any attention. But just as she was about to stand up and go see if the strange witch with the cart full of food was near her compartment the mysterious raven- haired boy came in alone and also just as sad as Lily had been before her stomach came to mind.

"Hello... James, what's wrong?" Lily asked cautiously not wanting him to cage up like most guys did when you asked about their problems.

"None of your business," he snapped. "Sorry, I've had a bad day." This isn't going to work... I feel too much for her, why? He asked himself.

"Alright... so what's up?"

"Oh, nothing much I'm trying to find my friend Sirius but somehow he disappeared..." James trailed off thinking.

"Oookayyy!" Lily was confused, she wasn't sure what he was talking or thinking about and thought it was kind of odd. "So, you hungry?" she said changing the subject but he wasn't listening. "Hello?"

No answer.

"Hello?!"

Still, no answer.

"HELLO!?"

And the was still no answer so she walked up to him and waved a hand in front of his face, his eyes were a little unfocused.

"All right I guess there's no talking to you!" Lily said and then left.

*~*~*

Returning five minutes later Lily still saw James standing in the middle of the compartment but there was a new kid, his black hair was long and he was kind of skinny but that's all she could make out before she saw James pass out.

"What the--?" Lily asked, to no one in particular, startled.

"Well, you could at least help out here!" the boy with black hair and bright blue eyes said impatiently.

"What? Oh, yeah, uh... sure. What happened?"

The boy looked at her like the answer was obvious. "What do you think happened? He was standing one minute and now he's on the ground, lets take a wild guess," he said sarcastically.

"Well, you don't have to be so rude. All I want to know is what happened to James," Lily stated.

"Wait a second, you know him? He didn't tell me he knew any hot girls that are going to Hogwarts!" This boy, Lily soon found out, was very blunt and didn't seem embarrassed by it.

"Umm, thank you..."

"Help me put him up on the seat, then I'll try and revive him."

"What do you mean revive him?"

"Hey, babe, he passed out, now, unless you know why then I have to give him this chocolate," the boy produced a candy bar from a pocket in his jeans, "but, of course, if you do then it would be a big help." Lily shook her head; she didn't know why he passed out. "All right then..." and then the blue- eyed boy shoved a piece of chocolate into his friend's mouth and James was suddenly standing wide- eyed.

"What happened? Wait a second, when did you get here, Sirius?" James asked in a big rush.

"Stop! One question at a time, ok now breathe... good..." Lily instructed as James followed.

"Now when did you get here?"

"Just before you passed out, and I'm glad I found you because this chick didn't know what to do," Sirius answered then looked at Lily. "You must be Muggle born."

"Muggle what?"

"Muggle means that you have no magical powers," James stated knowingly.

"But I do have magical powers, my family doesn't but I do..."

"Yes, Lily we realize that or you wouldn't be on the train but you were born into a Muggle family, so you're Muggle born."

"Oh," Lily said sadly she felt so stupid.

"So what happened, why did you pass out, again?" Sirius asked his best friend.

"Well, first I saw this...uh..." he looked at Lily then went on. "I saw this scene... like I was looking into a crystal ball or something... but I saw a woman with red hair and green eyes then I saw a house and a flash of green light, that's all I remember..."

"But you passed out!!!!" Lily stated not too calmly.

"Yeah... I've been doing that a lot lately!" James said scratching his head.

"O.k. man I think you been sniffing something!" Sirius commented.

"Nothing recently!" James joked coming back to his normal state of mind.

"Good to have you back man!" Sirius remarked.
