Chapter 3

"Hey Lily I can't believe you and Sirius on the train back there!" Liz said excitedly. They had just stepped off the train and they were now following a large man with a big bushy beard to the lake. Liz was dancing around her.

Lily now embarrassed by her moment with Black tried to shrug of the attention she was getting from Liz about it.

"It was nothing, really. We just got caught up in the moment."

"What do you mean it was nothing?" Came a voice from behind her. She swivelled round to see Sirius standing there. Lily blushed " I... erm...I don't" she stuttered.

Black grabbed her around the waist and pulled her close to him. A soft growl uttered from his lips. Lily giggled. "Easy tiger." She joked teasingly.

"You know," he whispered in her ear. "If before that was nothing then later, I will have to make it something." He winked, let go of her and walked to catch up with James and the others.

Lily stood there speechless. "Lily I swear you are the luckiest girl ever!" Liz exclaimed. Who had apparently heard everything. "He is so romantic...and hot."

They entered the great hall for their sorting. Lily was really nervous. "What if I'm not put with Liz or Katie?" She thought. The older years all stared as Lily, Liz and Katie walked past them up to the teachers tabled. This made Lily uncomfortable she didn't like being watched. "Oh god, oh god, please don't make me fall over now." Lily thought "that would be so embarrassing please, please don't make me fall over."

"Yeah well Remus is quite cute." Stated Liz from next to her. Lily rolled her eyes. Does that girl think of anything but boys? "Because you have black and Katie has potter so who have I got? Well yeah I suppose that Remus is pretty cute. Shall I ask him out? What do you think?" Lily looked at Liz. She thought that if she answered that question then she would be sick and that would be more embarrassing then falling over. Fortunately Professor Mcgonagall started speaking which silenced Liz.

"I would like to welcome three new students to our school. Lily Evans, Katie smith and Liz kaybu, now when you come to hogwarts you need to be sorted into house's so when i call out your name put on the hat and it will choose which house you will be good in." Lily heard her name being called out. Her mind went numb. She walked up to the stool; everything seemed to be on mute. She placed the hat on her head, "hmmm Evans, Evans, Evans." The hat spoke "I know where to put you...GRYFFINDOR!"

Suddenly the great hall suddenly came into noise. A table to her left was clapping loudly. She could see Sirius smiling up at her. She smiled back and went and sat opposite him. "Nice one." Sirius said when she sat down. Liz and Katie where also both sorted into Gryffindor. Peter came and sat down to Lily. Lily didn't like him. He was so creepy. He kept staring at her and leaning over her. It made her feel very uncomfortable.

A prefect lead Liup to the common room after their meal. On the way up she stopped to tie her shoelace. Everyone went ahead of her. She was just about to start running to catch them up when someone grabbed her hand. she turned around to see James potter gazing down at her. Lily gave a laugh. "oh not you and your laughing again Lily." he said grinning. Lily gave a smile. "As a matter of fact James Potter laughing is very good for you."

"ooo I like a girl that has a come-back."

"Well I do try."

"Yeah well at least you try, unlike Katie." Lily's face fell. "What do you mean you don't like her?"

"Well yeah I do, but she's just so quiet. I like a bit of fire in my girl."

He grabbed Lily around the waist and pulled close. She looked into his eyes. "He didn't look this good before." She thought. "Oh no. This is mean to Katie." She pulled away from his grip.

"Oh I'm sorry." James quickly said. " I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

"No, It's ok really." Lily replied "now, shouldn't we catch up with the others?"

"Um.. Yeah we should."

*********************************************************************

They ran up trying to catch up with their classmates but could not find them anywhere. Then they bumped into a Gryffindor prefect. "There you are!" She said. " I have been looking everywhere for you. Now follow me!"

He walked up to a painting of a fat lady and said "cobby wobbles" and the painting swung open to reveal a hole in the wall. They walked through into the common room. It seemed that everyone had gone to bed. The sofas and armchairs that went round the edge of the common room were deserted.

Lily said goodnight to James and went up to her dormitory. She opened the door expecting to see Katie or Liz standing there but they weren't. Instead Black was.

Lily's lips curved into a smile. She could not deny it. She was pleased that Sirius was there. Sirius grinned at her. "Pleased to see me?" He questioned "why wouldn't I be?" Lily replied walking up to him and running her hands through his hair while he put his hands around her waist. He brought her face to his and held it there so their noses were just centimetres apart. "Wanna make up for what we didn't do earlier baby?" Black asked. Lily was just about to answer when they heard a cough from the doorway. They both turned to see James leaning against the doorway his eyebrows raised. "Really Sirius." Said James "sneaking around dormitories. I thought I brought you up better than that."

"Well what the hell are you doing in here then?" Shot back Sirius.

" Just coming to see my baby Katie."

"Look both of you should go." Lily told them "if one of the prefect's catch us. We will be dead."

"Oh is poor baby Lily scared of the scary teachers?" Teased James pouting.

"Get stuffed!" Lily replied sending him a look of pure hatred.

"God!" She thought "he was so nice just a minute ago why did he have to change?"

Sirius kissed her forehead and gestured to James to leave. "Night, night Lily." James whispered. "Don't let the scary teachers bite!"
