Lily and James- A Prophecy Fulfilled

Chapter 2: A Train, Hat, and Roommates

She shook hands with her opponent, then the judges, and jogged to the locker room for a quick shower before the awards ceremonies. Thirty minutes later she came back up, wearing a black pair of shorts and matching white top. Her braids were decorated in honor of the occasion with metallic emerald ribbons. She stood on the podium and accepted her trophy, grinning for her parents' pictures. As soon as she was allowed to leave she ran to her parents for the first time since before the match stated. She hugged them, still clutching her trophy. In fact she was so happy she was hugging everybody. She even hugged Petunia and some strangers. The boys didn't get out of her way fast enough and she hugged them, then moved on to some of her father's business associates. The next weekend they did indeed meet Nicoli Sanatini, then went out to eat pizza. The boys marveled at Lily's ability to eat an entire medium pepperoni pizza on her own. On Lily's eleventh birthday an owl flew in the window. It was bearing the Hogwarts letter, accepting Lily into their school, along with the list of supplies. Lily thought that was great until it mentioned Diagon Alley. Nobody in her family knew where Diagon Alley was, or the Leaky Cauldron. She went ahead and sent the confirmation letter to Hogwarts anyhow, she would ask James about the Diagon Alley. The Potters gave the Evans a detailed map of how to get to Diagon Alley, and what to do once they got there. But to Lily's disappointment, James didn't ask Lily to come with them. She got over it though; she couldn't expect to immediately become one of his group. On August 20th Lily and her parents went to Diagon Alley, leaving Petunia at a friend's house. They got in easily and went straight to Gringott's. There, Lily was given vault 315 with a balance of 1000 galleons, which would be added to every birthday and Christmas. Lily went to get her robes at Madame Malkins, then to the pet shop. There she bought a jet-black cat with emerald green eyes that matched her own. Towards the end of the afternoon all Lily had to was buy a wand. She was saving it for last. Her parents were resting at the cafe across the street. As it turned out, James walked through the Ollivander's door the same time as Lily. The spooky man came out and said, "Ah, the ones who will release us all. Come my children. You, Mr. Potter, may go first." after several tries James got a mahogany wand. He said, "I'll wait for you Lily, if you wanna go with Sirius and Remus and me to get some ice cream."

"Sure" she said.

"And you Miss Evans. You shall give us our freedom. Here, try this wand." in a very short while, Lily left the store with a 9-inch yew.

"Gosh, was it just me, or was he a few cards short of a full house?"

"Definitely missing something." Very soon, it was September first, and they were going to platform 9 3/4. Lily saw James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter hoisting their trunks onto the scarlet train. She started to run over to them, but her mother was telling her to be good and the like. She kept watching the boys, and she saw them get on the fifth compartment. Then she saw them hanging out the windows watching her. Her dad was saying, "Now princess, remember, if anything goes wrong or you need us for anything, we're only an owl away. We bought our own, so we will send her to you often. I love you princess, we hope to see you at Christmas."

"Yeah, Papa, I love you too."

"Now my dear, be good, work hard, and we love you." Her mother said.

"Yes mom, I love you too."

"Princess, be good, we love you, we can't live without you, you're everything to us, you're our only child, who cares about Petunia" Petunia said in an annoying voice.

When Lily walked on the train she saw James, Sirius, and Remus pretending to cry and say, "Oh, Lily, we will miss you so much."

"Would you shut up! Your parents couldn't wait to get rid of you!"

"Hey, our parents love us too!" Sirius said indignantly.

"They love it when you're not there is more like it." Lily told them sarcastically.
Remus said, "Actually, I think my parents do like the vacation away from me." earning a triumphant look from Lily and disgusted looks from James and Sirius.
Peter stuttered, "My p-parents al-always t-try to get me t-to visit a friends house."

"They're trying to get you out of your shell Peter." Sirius said sarcastically.

Peter crept over to a chair, and everybody followed, except Lily. She didn't really want to butt in, so she continued to another compartment. Nobody noticed she wasn't following until she was gone.

"Hey, where did Lily go?" Remus asked,

"Who knows." James said,

"Really, you guys ought to be a bit more concerned, she's our friend." Remus continued.

"Actually, she's mostly your friend. She wants to kill me most of the time, she ignores Sirius, but you two hang around each other like Gilligan and Skipper." James pointed out.

"Who's Gilligan, but, Remus, you like Lily don't you?" Sirius said,

"Yes I like her, but she's only a friend. I actually try to be nice to her." Remus defended himself.

"Remus has got a crush on Lily." Sirius sang, and James joined in.

"Remus and Lily sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g, first comes love, then comes marr---"

"STOP! I DO NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON LILY! GOOD LORD, THE WAY YOUR ACTING YOU WOULD THINK YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON HER JAMES" Remus cut in.

"I most certainly do NOT have a crush on Lily Evans. You could find a prettier girl at a dog pound." James said to make his point.

"James, you really went too far there." Sirius said, and James turned around and saw Lily storming out of their compartment. "Uh, I guess I probably ought to go talk to her, huh?" James asked.

"Yeah, especially if you don't want her to remain an enemy. I think she hates you more than Severus Snape. And she's a lot tougher." Sirius said.

"No joke, I'll go find her." James decided, and started walking through the compartments until he saw her sitting with Severus Snape. "Lily, don't sit with

them." James shouted,

"I don't see why I shouldn't, they don't insult me and call me names like you do." Lily told him.

"Listen, Lily, about that, I was just trying to make a point-"

"About me being uglier than any dog? Yeah, that's real flattering."

"He called you a dog?" Snape said indignantly.

"Same as, Severus. He is always mean to me. He never has anything nice to say."

"Nobody insults Lily and gets away with it." Severus said nastily, and pulled out

his wand and put a jelly-legs curse on James, causing him to collapse. "Wow, Severus, that's neat. Can you teach me to do that?" Lily asked.

"He will not, because you are coming back to our compartment, and we are going to explain a few things to you." Sirius told her forcefully.

"And just who do you think you are? Maybe you ought to be concerned with taking care of James and leave me alone." Lily said angrily.

"No, listen to us Lily, we need to tell you something. Please come back to our compartment and let us tell you something." Remus asked her.

"Umm, okay Remus. See ya later Severus." Lily gave in.

"Don't count on it." Sirius grumbled. Lily docilely followed Remus back to the compartment thinking, boy, he really is good looking. And nice. Extremely adorable. Too bad he has God-awful friends. She sat down across from Remus, but wished she hadn't' when it turned out then she would be between Sirius and James. Lily adopted the stony stubborn look she got whenever she didn't want to do something. "What do you want?"

"Lily, Snape and his crowd aren't good people to hang around." Remus started to say calmly until James broke in.

"He's the slimiest creature you'll ever meet! You can tell he doesn't know what shampoo is just by looking at him. And he dishonest! He'll sneak up behind us and use some hex on us. He's done all kinds of tricky sly things." James almost yelled.

"It all started one time in Diagon Alley when he ran into us, then stepped on us. He didn't have the decency to help us up! Then twenty minutes later, he put something in our food to make us grow spots." Sirius picked up where James left off. "Well, I don't know" Lily was still hesitant, so the boys kept telling her more stories about all of the dishonest and mean things he had done. There was no way they could make this much stuff up.

"Fine, you guys. I'm going to quit hanging around Severus, but I will NOT be mean to him." About that time a lady with a huge candy cart came by and said,

"Can I get you anything off of here?" and four boys were immediately swarming the cart. After they had bought everything except three bags of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans and two cauldron cakes, so Lily bought these.

"You guys aren't really going to eat ALL of that are you?" Lily asked in disbelief.

"You better believe it. We'll be lucky if it lasts the train ride" Remus told her.
During the train ride James and Sirius and Remus got into a long discussion about quidditch.

Lily spoke up, "What is quidditch?"

"Oh, so Miss I Know Everything About Sports doesn't know about the greatest sport of all time?" James said.

"I've never heard of quidditch before smarty."

"Well it's a game played on broomsticks, where..." and Lily was soon very informed about the greatest sport of all time.

True to their word, they had just finished the last piece of food when the five-minute call was sounded, and Lily went to change into her Hogwarts uniform.

There was a mass exodus as students were piling off the train. The first years were directed to the lake shore, where they were instructed by a huge man, Hagrid, to get into the boats, four each. Lily started walking to a different boat, because she thought that the four boys would want to sit together. She had just got sit down in the boat with James's sister and another girl who was named Adriana when Remus came running over to the boat and sat down next to Lily.

"Why aren't you sitting with them?" Lily asked, motioning to the boat James, Sirius, Peter, and now another boy was occupying.

"I didn't want you to have to sit by yourself." Remus explained, and the boats

started sailing.

When all of the first years met in a room outside of the great hall Remus received several teasing looks from James and Sirius. They had already explained the houses to Lily, and Lily truly wanted to be put in Ravenclaw, but if she couldn't be in it, she wanted to be in Gryffindor. Sirius was the first one to be sorted, and he was put into Gryffindor. Lily was next. She tried on the hat and it was saying "well, I can see you wish to be in Ravenclaw, you have a great mind. But you have immense bravery, and incredible ability. Gryffindor is the only house that can develop these abilities.. Yes Gryffindor would be a good choice. Promising things will come from you in Gryffindor. "GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted out loud. Lily was a little disappointed, but she got her second choice.

As it turned out James and Remus both got in Gryffindor, but Lily almost fell out of her chair when Peter got in.

Professor Dumbledore said, "Hello students, I think you should know this year's new rules. In addition to all other rules, you are forbidden from the forest, as always, but there is a new addition to the forest. The whomping willow is a tree that will beat the living daylights out of you if you get near it. Quidditch tryouts will begin in one month. Now everybody enjoy the feast." and everybody was able to do follow that rule easily.

After everybody had received their schedules Lily found out their first class was flying lessons. Lily immediately asked James, "Will you please teach me to play quidditch after our lesson tomorrow. I would like to play on the house team." receiving surprised looks from them all. It was obvious they didn't think she could do it, and she promised herself she would. After the feast was over they followed the prefects to their common room. They were told that they needed to remember the password that would change weekly to gain entrance. This week's was "Hobgoblin". Lily went straight up to the first year girls' dormitory where she found her new roommates. When she walked in she saw four other girls there already and she said, "Hi, my name is Lily Evans."

"Hi, I'm Adriana Malcolm." the brunette with medium height said.

"You know me, Lily, but to everyone else, I'm Gina Potter." James's sister with his black hair introduced herself.

"I'm Renee Rinaldi" said a girl with short light brown hair, glasses, and freckles.

"I'm Amelia Rengutin." said a pretty blond girl that was about five inches taller than Lily. Amelia continued, "I saw you with James Potter, and I want you to introduce me. Now."

Lily started laughing, "Who do you think you are? I don't have to do anything besides go to sleep right now."

"Yes you do. My father is the second in command to the owner of Mentinen, the computer company.", Amelia said, she was muggle-born too.

"MY father is Mitchell Evans. Does that ring a bell? Well it should. He owns Mentinen. And its sister company Mocanting. That means my dad is your dad's boss." Lily said in an equally nasty tone, two could play that game.

"Well, I never." Amelia said fussily

"Well, I have." Lily mimicked, sending Amelia flouncing to her bed, drawing the curtains.

"That was great Lily, she's been like that ever since she got here."

"Anytime Renee. I'm going to sleep as well."
