At Kingscross Station, James and his good friends had already arrived and had gotten settled in compartments on the train. James had gone in and out of the barrier that separates London from Platform 9 ¾ many times. During one of these trips, he spotted Lily. She looked so beautiful today. Lily was wearing dark blue jeans, a Beatles t-shirt, and was heaving a trolley with her trunk and a peculiar wicker basket balanced on top. James slipped back through the barrier and grabbed his best friend Sirius.
"Lily! Hey Lily! Over here!" James screamed.
"There is no way that you are my friend.." Sirius said, as he acted oblivious to James. Lily walked over and noticed how cute James looked.
"Hey James, who's your friend?" Lily asked.
"Oh," grabbing Sirius and tugging him forward, "this is Sirius Black, my best friend! Well aren't you going to say hi?"
"Fine. Hi Lily" Sirius scoffed. " I bet you don't even know how to get to the train." Sirius had a feeling that this girl was going to steal his James from him.
"So?" Lily states, "I'm sure I can guess!" starts patting the wrong wall.
"Lily it's this way," James motions, pushes on the wall, and slides through and back. "See?"
"Oh well I'm sure I could have found that out on my own." Lily said.
"Rigggghhhtt, anyway lets go to the train so we can get something to eat, I'm starving!" James walked through the barrier, closely followed by Sirius and Lily was last.
On the train, talk turned to their families. Sirius was interested at how a muggle lived. While James played with his cat.
"Well my mum and dad were thrilled when I got my letter. But my sister on the other hand got extremely angry and called me a freak! She said that if I wanted to go to this "freak" school that she would never speak to me again! When I left today for Kings Cross, she didn't even come with my parents, I was very upset." Lily explained.
"Hey Lily, did you end up buying a cat when I saw you last? James asked.
"Yeah," Lily got up and opened the wicker basket. A brown and white point Siamese cat walked out daintly.
"Lily she is so cute!" Sirius said, "What is her name?"
"Her name is Gwenivere, but Gwen for short." Lily said, "and I got a collar for here too!" Lily pointed to a pink collar with a gold fob.
There was a knock at the door. "Would you children like any food? I have plenty!" a plump little witch asked. "I have Pumpkin Pasties, Acid Pops, Fizzing Wizzbees, Cauldron Cakes, Chocolate Frogs, Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans,.and if you would like any thing to drink I have Pumpkin Juice!"
"I would like some Chocolate Frogs, please." Sirius said in a rather nice voice.
"I'll have some Pumpkin Pasties and a flask of Pumpkin Juice." James said.
"What is good? I have never had magical food before.I don't know what to try!" Lily said.
"Well the Cauldron Cakes are really good and so are the Fizzing Wizzbees, and of course you need to try some Pumpkin Juice!" the plump witch stated.
"OK, I will try them all." Lily paid for her food and then so did the boys. After that the witch left.
"So Sirius how is your family?" Lily asked.
"Well, my dad is a Auror and my mum is an assistant to the Minister for the Abuse of Underage Magic. I also have a sister who is a 7th year. Her name is Penelope." Sirius started. "My best friend and I have known each other since we were really little."
"Wow! What about you James?" Lily asked.
James jumped at the mention of his name. "Um. well my mum is the Minister of Magical Fisheries, and my dad is a store owner." Sirius starts laughing.. "Shut up Sirius! He is laughing because my dad sells used toilet seats. He also sells fish tanks made out of old freezers," James continued. "I don't know how he does it, but he makes a lot of money!"
Everyone in the compartment busts out laughing.
The scenery outside the window seemed to grow wilder and darker. Everyone on the train was starting to get anxious. They were running up and down the aisles and screaming. The prefects were starting to get very angry. Then a loud announcement came over the PA system. "Anyone out of their compartments will receive a detention and 10 house points deducted before we even arrive at the school." Said a loud, angry, booming voice. All of a sudden all the doors on the train slammed shut, and almost immediately the train got silent. The prefects were now going to each compartment to talk to the students.
There was another knock on the door. This time it was a prefect. "We will be arriving at school soon, so you guys need to get dressed, and the lady too." The prefect said, then he left.
"OK well, I'll go into the bathroom and change. You guys can change in here." Lily said. "See you two soon." She walked over to her trunk and got her school uniform.
Twenty minutes later Lily came back to the compartment. Both boys were eating the last of their food and playing with the cats. "So Lily, I think we should put the cats away.we will be coming to the school soon." Sirius explained.
"Alright, but we need to be careful," James said, "the train could stop at any moment."
"Come here Gwen.we need to have you in your little basket!" James and Lily both coaxed.
"Hey Snivley, do you want to go into your case?" Snivley ran right over to Sirius and jumped on his lap. Sirius said rather non- chalantly, "See, boy cats are smarter than girl cats."
The train came to an abrupt stop. James looked out the window and saw that they were at a little town, and on a big hill he saw a huge castle.
