Chapter 6: School preparations
The days turned into week's way to fast to Lily's opinion. By the time she was getting used to her friendship with James, it was august the 30th. Lily couldn't wait for school to start, by now she had finished reading all her school books and spend her day shooting hoops, while James watched in amusement. "You know Lil; you should try out for your house team." "Why?" Lily said while scoring again. "Cause you haven't missed a shot." He smiled, "You could be a fabulous chaser." Lily just shrugged. "Maybe I'll check it out, if I'm not in Slytherin." James and his father had told her everything about the houses. Gryffindor: The best of all, Ravenclaw: The bookworm house, Hufflepuff: For the losers and Slytherin: The house with an evil rate from England till Tokyo. "You really think I'm any good? I don't even know how to fly." "You're going to learn that in school Lil. And besides, I can teach you a thing or two." She smiled at him, "I don't have a death wish just yet Potter." "Huh?" "Letting you teach me to fly, do you think I have a death wish or something?" James shrugged, "Well if you want to learn its fine by me." Lily laughed, "I'll learn it from a teacher, but if I need you're help I'll let you know." "Cool! Then I get to save the damsel in distress." Lily snorted and James began laughing.
The next day Lily was packing and re-packing her trunk. "So you're going to leave to that freak-place you call school?" Petunia said sarcastically. "Is that ANY of your business?" Lily asked. "No, it's just...Soooooooooooooo great! Now I'll have mom and dad all to myself, they will forget all about you." She grinned at Lily. "Oh really, didn't you see the two owls in the corner." Lily pointed towards a corner near her window. "What do you freaks do with them?" Petunia never liked animals, but they didn't deserve to be treated like this. "We use them to carry our mail, one is mine and one is for mom and dad to mail me. Mr. Potter gave them." "I thought you where an animal lover." "What do you mean by that?" Lily snapped and her trunk-lid fell close with a big thud. "You freaks use owls to carry your mail, that's cruelty." Lily opened her lid again, "What ever Pet." She rolled her eyes and took out her wand to polish, "Now get out of my room." Petunia left quickly, she thought Lily was going to curse her.
Finally September first had come; their parents had ordered Petunia to come along to King's cross station to drop off Lily. Lily was hyper and nervous at the same time all the way to the station. It was a good thing James was there to steady her, or she would have fainted when she saw the massive brick wall she had to run through to get to the platform. She hugged her parent's goodbye and left through the wall with James. "They grow up so fast." Mrs. Potter said and walked with the others back to the car they had come with.
Lily on the other hand was having trouble keeping up with James. "Hey wait up!" She shouted through the crowd. After 10 minutes she found him again, "Where were you?" They said simultaneously and laughed. "That was freaky Lil." "Tell me about it."
James helped her with her trunk and they went through the train to find an empty compartment. They found a compartment where a boy with patted clothes was laying on one side of the benches. He was sleeping, but when they sat down he woke up. Lily thought he looked rather good, chocolate eyes, light brown hear. "Sorry mate didn't want to wake you." James said and was about to leave, "It's ok, I'm a light sleeper anyway." He had a hurting look in his eyes. Lily pulled James back down and whispered in his ears, "We can't go, look at him, he's offended because we are leaving. Let's just stay here for the ride, in that way he won't be alone." James nodded. "What's you're name?" Lily asked out loud. "Remus, Remus Lupin." "Still sorry for waking you up Remus, you look kind off tired." James said and Lily nudged him in the ribs. "Don't be so rude James; pay no attention to him Remus. This is James by the way, James Potter and I'm Lily, Lily Evans." "Nice to meet you both." Remus said politely. They chatted until a witch with a cart came past. "Want something dears?" "I'd like some Mars', a Coke and a bag off skittles." The witch, James and Remus stared at her. "What?" "Erm.In the wizarding world we have other things Lil." James replied, "We'll take a bit of everything." The witch started giving them things of the cart, "That will be 2 galleon's, 5 sickels." He paid the witch and she left to the next compartment.
Lily had the rest of the journey to discover the many sweets that they had bought and everything was gone when a voice echoed through the train saying that in 5 minutes they would reach their destination. The boys left the compartment so that Lily could change; when she was done it was her turn to wait outside. By the time the boys where done the train was slowing down. "Time to go guys." She said and took a deep breath before she stepped out the train.
