When they reached Hogwarts station and the train came to a complete stop. Lily glanced nervously over at James. James smiled at her. "It's alright Lilly we're finally there!" he said. Lilly grinned and followed James as he stepped of the train. He helped Lilly with her stuff as they joined Sirius and Remus on their way to greet Hagrid. Peter was lost somewhere in the crowd. "Firs years, follow me!" called out Hagrid. Lilly, James Sirius and Remus pushed their way through the crowd towards Hagrid. They followed him to the lake where they found a long line of rowboats. Lilly gulped, she did not know how to swim. She looked up at Hagrid. "Do you have to ride those? Isn't there a safer way to get to the school?" Hagrid chuckled. "An miss an experience like this? Besides nothing will harm you in that lake Squiddy will make sure O that." "Squiddy?" asked Lilly nervously. "The giant squid that inhabits the lake." Lilly's face drained of all color. "You alright there?" Asked Hagrid. James stepped forward. "She's fine, she just needs a breath of fresh air, away from this crowd." James led her towards a boat where Sirius and Remus were already seated. Before he had a chance to help Lilly into the boat, Peter dashed forward and fell face first in to the seat next to Sirius. "James I think we have a problem here, there's only four places to sit." Said Sirius. James looked at the boat. He was right. "Maybe Lilly can sit on someone's lap." Asked James. Lilly blushed. "No, that's ok, I'm sure I can find some other boat." "Are you sure?" Asked James. Lilly shook her head. "Yes, I'm sure." Lilly walked around looking for a boat with at least one unoccupied seat. She found one. Unfortunately Severus Snape was seated in it with a few other sinister looking boys. Lilly cautiously approached that boat. "May I sit here?" She asked. Severus smiled at Lilly. "So I see you've finally figured out who your real friends are." Lilly glared at Snape. "No, normally I wouldn't sit here but seeing as there aren't any other boats available." Snape cut her off. "No need to make up excuses now get in." Lilly sighed and looked around to double check if there were any other vacant seats, there weren't any. So she scrambled in the boat and sat next to Severus. She was so unhappy about sharing a boat with Severus, she almost forgot that they were traveling on water, almost. When they left the dock. Lilly began to panic. Surprisingly Snape took her hand and helped calm Lilly down. Once they reached the school Lilly met up with the guys. When she told them that she rode in the same boat as Snape. Sirius growled. "Snape? Arrrg! I'm sorry you had to put up with him Lilly. But Peter refused to sit in another boat he said too many other kids were picking on him, we told him James would take care of them once we reached the other side, but he wouldn't listen." Sirius looked disgustedly at Peter. Lilly smiled. "That's alright Severus isn't too bad he's a nice guy once you get to know him." James gawked at Lilly. Sirius gasped. "Have you gone mad? Snape? A nice guy? Yeah right!" Lilly rolled her eyes. She was about to reply to Sirius's comment when Professor McGonagal stepped out. And gave them instructions on the sorting ceremony. *A/n whee! I'll probably work some more on this story, soon. Until then please feel free to review (
