By the time both families arrived at King's Cross Station, it was pouring down rain. However, not even the dreary day could dampen Lily or James' spirits as they anticipated seeing each other again.

"Are you sure you have everything dear?" Susan asked Lily. "Yes mum (for the millionth time lily thought), I am positive I have everything, and before you even say anything yes I promise to write every week, I will send Midori to you," Lily replied, thinking at the same time that her beautiful snowy owl (Midori) would probably suffer from exhaustion by the end of this year.

"Lily", her mother warned, "you know that I don't appreciate that tone! And remember dear, as Head Girl it is your responsibility to set a good example to the younger students and that means no pranks, though perhaps that warning should be directed at James. Speaking of which, shouldn't he be here by now?"

"Yes mum", Lily whined. "I have heard this same speech a billion times before, except the bit about Head Girl of course! And I don't mean to be rude, but honestly mum I am 16, and right now I had better get on the train before it leaves without me, that wouldn't set a very good example would it", she finished sarcastically.

"LILY! I thought we brought you up better than to speak to people in that manner! However, I am going to ignore it just this once as you are correct, you must be going," her father responded.

As soon as Lily, and James who of course was getting the usual lecture involving 'behave yourself we don't want any owls home this year about your behavior', managed to get away from their parents they ran through the barrier to appear on platform 9 ¾.

As soon as James got onto the platform, his mind wasn't on the scarlet red train in front of him, but in fact on the beautiful red-headed girl with the sparkling emerald green eyes who was standing hugging her two best friends, Bianca and Roxy.

"Lily", he called as soon as he got near enough to her. "I think you got even more gorgeous over the summer holidays if that is possible my dear!" he added just before leaning down and sweeping her into a passionate kiss.

Lily was so happy to see James and when he kissed her she felt herself going weak at the knees: something she hadn't felt for about 2 months now. "Your looking pretty handsome yourself," she replied to him.

"Not as handsome as me of course, though I wouldn't actually use handsome as the only word to describe myself to describe myself, more like gorgeous and handsome!" Sirius stated, making the rest of the group laugh.

"Don't worry Padfoot old boy, everybody here knows you are no comparison to me!" James said smiling supremely.

"Whatever Prongs my boy. Oh I can't wait to get back to school; I have SOOOOO many ideas for new pranks this year! It is our last year so we HAVE to go out with a bang- we can't have anyone forgetting who the infamous Marauders were! Sirius responded to James' taunting.

"Most definitely! We really need to get Snape and Malfoy too.embarrass them as much as possible! James replied.

"JAMES! You are Head Boy! You can't just go round doing pranks! You are supposed to be setting an example!" Lily said.

"Exactly, Lils we are trying to set an example, you really should use your position of power- we WANT the younger students pranking each other! Imagine how much fun that would be!!! Sirius said excitedly.

"For starters don't call me Lils....." Lily started but was cut off by James.

"Lily my dear, don't worry, I promise I will be sensible!" James tried to use his charm on her.

"Hrmph" was Lily's only reply

James, Lily, Bianca and Oxy then decided to get on the train before it left with out them, and to look for the other Marauders.
