*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily*s POV:
**Dang, it*s 12:54. The train leaves in 6 minutes!** I said, looking down at the muggle watch on my wrist. I grabbed Sirius* big strong hands with my own slim petite ones. We started to run through the King*s Cross with our trolleys. People were jumping out of the way as we flew past. We were at such a speed that no one noticed our owls and broomsticks, which was all the better.
**Sorry! Didn*t mean to fright you,** Sirius yelled as we flew past an elderly lady who looked a lot like Petunia, mean and shriveled. (Ok, so maybe my sister wasn*t that prune, but she was pretty darn close. And what*s even scarier is some people consider her pretty!)
I let out a laugh as Sirius snickered along side me. His light brown hair was all over in the breeze. The green flecks in his aqua eyes were twinkling the way they always do when he was on an adventure. Sirius grinned at me, then turned to look ahead. We were heading straight for the barrier of Platform Nine and Three Quarters. Sirius and I willed our legs to pump harder.
In a matter of seconds we were looking at a huge scarlet steam engine that was famous among the wizarding world. It had what seemed like a endless row of passenger cars connected to it. The platform was empty except for a few tearful parents waving good- bye to their children. Sirius and I ran toward the third car where we saw James Potter sitting.
**James, James, open up!!!** Sirius yelled as he pounded on the window. The train gave out a whistle. James turned his head quickly, making his midnight black hair even more unruly, his chocolate brown eyes grew wide when he saw us. He jumped from his seat and met us at the door along with Remus.
**Hurry, your stuff,** James said. Sirius and I began handing our trunks and brooms to Remus and James then quickly tossed them our owl cages. They were careful not to hurt Chamboy (my snow white owl) and Bernie (Sirius* brown owl, named after the beloved jelly beans). The train lurched and began to move. Sirius ran and grabbed the railing, jumping in. I tried desperately to do the same, but couldn*t get close enough to the door to do so safely. All three guys were hanging out the train door watching me. The same thought kept running through my mind, ~Oh, crap, oh, crap, oh crap!!! I can*t miss the train!~
Sirius leaned out and I tried to grab his hand but couldn*t quite reach. We were only fingertips apart. The engine was gaining speed while I was falling farther and farther back until I was a couple cars behind despite the fact that I was running as fast as I could. James disappeared from my view for a second then came back with my Whizz 50 broomstick. He managed to mount it from inside the train and started to fly toward me. He lowered the broom to the ground in front of me.
**Get on,** he order. I grabbed his arm and swung a leg over the broom. As soon as we were balanced, he kicked off. James flew up then turned the broom around. I put my arms around his waist as we leaned forward to gain speed. James and I head back to the door where Sirius and Remus were still leaning out to watch us. We flew past the cars, then turned tightly into the compartment, making Remus and Sirius jump out of the way. Unfortunately the brakes didn*t kick in quite fast enough. James and I ended up in a pile of arms and legs. I landed on top of the broom and James was sprawled sideways across my stomach. I let out a groan.
**James, can you, please get off my stomach?** I asked. He slowly lifted himself to his feet with the help of Remus who was making sure that he didn*t fall back. Sirius held out his hand to help me up.
**Are you okay?** James asked as he brushed himself off.
**I am fine. Are you?** I answered.
**I*ve taken much worse falls, but your broom is anything but fine,**he said hastily.
I glanced at my red broomstick, it was laying in two pieces on the white carpet. **Oh that*s nothing,** I said, then grabbing my wand out of my pocket and said, **Sampato Quatay.** The two ends of the broom flew up and stuck back together. I turned and smiled at the guys, **See as good as new,** I comment before Sirius leaned down and kissed me.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
James* POV:
I tried not to stare as Sirius covered Lily*s mouth with his. ~God, she is beautiful...~ I thought. ~NO! What am I thinking, this is Lily Evans we are talking about, Sirius* girlfriend, remember? I canÕt betray him anyway even if I could I don*t think she would want to come. They look mighty comfortable.~
Remus must have noticed my gawking, because he leaned over and whispered, **I think this our cue to leave, Prongs.** I followed him to the other side of the compartment and we sat down next to each other on the black cotton covered seats.
**Wha-** Remus looked up, seeing Sirius and Lily walking over hand in hand made him stop. **You and me, talk later,** he whispered before the couple sat down in front of us.
**You guys are pretty lucky to have caught the train,** Remus said.
Lily let out a sigh, trying to comb her wind blown, mid- back length, red hair. Giving up, she said, **I am beat after all that running. Thanks for saving me, James.**
**No prob, it was good flying practice. Now all I need to know is how to land in a train,** I said and everyone laughed.
The three started a conversation on Qudditch while I sat there wondering, ~Do I really like Lily? On one hand she is cute, funny,sweet, and happy. Plus she has that beautiful white smile. But on the other hand, she is my best friend*s girlfriend, and would probably never like me in that way. Anyway I would completely crush Sirius if I ever did date Lily. Though I must admit, her arms did fit great around me on that broom... God, I need help!!!~
It was like that all afternoon. I kept arguing (in my mind of course) over Lily. I had never stressed over a girl this much, before, especially one who isn*t even remotely interested in me.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sirius* POV:
**Sirius, wake up,** Remus whispered, his dirty blonde hair falling in his blue eyes.
**Erm, what do you want?** I asked then realizing Lily was sleeping with her head on my shoulder, whispered, **What do you want?**
**We are almost at school, we need to change into our robes,** James answered quietly.
I tried to get up, but no matter how I moved, there was no way to get up without waking Lily in the process.
**Hun, you need to get up?** I whispered in her ear. Lily only nestled deeper into my arms. **Lily, come on, please, get up,** I begged. Lily just laid there still sleeping peacefully. **Lils!** I whispered hoarsely, but still wasn*t successful.
I looked up at Prongs and Moony and gave them a look that said **Help!**
James suddenly got a huge grin on his face. Before Remus and I could ask, he screamed, **IT*S GONNA CRASH!!! WE*RE ALL GOING TO DIE!**
Lily let out a shriek, opened her emerald green eyes, then jumped up. **WE NEED TO LEAVE IM-** she started to yell then realized James was laughing and Remus and I were in pure shock over what James had done.
**Why, the heck, did you do that,** Lily screamed, then tried to tackle James. He jumped out of the way then ran out the compartment, with Lily chasing after him.
**Why don*t we take this as a opportunity to change?** Remus asked.
I nodded silently, still in shock over what James had done and how Lily had reacted
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily*s POV:
**Wow, I am beat,** I said as I flopped down on the floor of a empty compartment.
**Same here,** James commented as he lay down next to me. **I never knew a girl could run that fast.**
**I did get some practice earlier, trying to catch the train, remember? So, why did you wake me up like that anyway?**
James replied, **Well Sirius, Remus and I need to change into our robes- It was only 20 minutes until the train stopped and that was at least a quarter of an hour ago! Hurry get up!** James jumped to his feet then reached his hand down to grab mine. But for some odd reason, as we ran through the train, he didn*t let go, and for a reason even odder, I didn*t either.
