Chapter 3 (so sue me if I can't come up with a creative chapter title!)
Arriving home after a stressful day at Diagon Alley, she made her way up to her quaint little room. Surprisingly, Petunia wasn't there to greet Lily with some of her usual sarcastic and petty comments. 'Whew.I bet she's at her stupid friend's house. what's her name.. Marge. yes, fat 'ol Marge' Lily laughed at the thought that Petunia was falling for Marge's similar sized, plump brother, Vernon Dursley. Honestly, she had only met Vernon once, when he briefly came to pick up Marge from her house. Words were indescribable for him, he was just revolting. The thought of him made Lily shudder from fright (not to mention made her nauseous).
She sorted through her various textbooks from Diagon Alley and couldn't wait for school to start and leave her sister. But her mother was different; she wished that her mother could move to maybe Hogsmeade so Lily could visit. But her mother refused to leave the very bland muggle-world of London.
Leafing through her favorite textbook, [a/n: come on! we all know what it is!] 'Advanced Charms', she started looking through, maybe to get a head start. But her deep desire was to maintain her high standard as the best in charms, being her ultimate goal was to see James disappointed that he was one subject less perfect.
Retiring early, Lily fell into a deep slumber, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the new day, when she would joyfully return to her second home.
**************
'Good morning Britain! It's a lovely day today, with a spot of dark cloud- - '
Groggily, Lily lazily rolled off her bed and yelped at how ice cold the floor was. [a/n: haha! that's me. lazily roll off my bed and then swear cuz it's so cold where I live!] She was once again surprised by the lack of Petunia's presence. 'I bet she finally got her own life. Fine with me' Lily thought that her sister was old enough to move away from their home, more for her own privilege of avoiding the daily harassment and torture. Lily quickly showered and ate her breakfast in one gulp, pressing for time. The large grandfather clock chimed 10:00 and she had one hour to get to King's Cross.
Arriving by a muggle-car, Lily literally jumped out the car and sped off to get her luggage from the trunk of the car as she saw the nearest clock that read: 10:55.
King's Cross Train Station was filled with the usual. Lily hated it when she had to make the journey from the door of King's Cross to Platform 9 ¾. Every year it would be the same. The usual enigmatic looks the simple- minded muggles gave to Lily as every year, Lily practically sprinted to the platform, making it on time by a mere minute. Heads turned to see the strange redheaded girl with an owl, caged up in a small container. Lily was sure someone would one day address her on the issue of animal cruelty.
Dashing towards the wall barrier, she quickly passed through the entrance to Platform 9 ¾ and emerged to see the grand, scarlet Hogwarts train. Pushing past the last-minute arrivals, Lily gave a peck on the cheek to her father and gave a warm hug for her mother. After allowing the porter to take Lily's trunk, she confidently took her first step onto the Hogwarts train, expecting a fun-filled year.
[a/n: haha. believe it or not I was going to actually stop here until I realized it was like under 2 pages. so I'm continuing]
*******************
"James! James! I know you can hear me!"
"James! Do I have to use your nickname, in public!?"
"Fine. Jamesey! My ickle fickle Jamesey- boy!"
'Damn Sirius. When is he ever serious? How cliché..' James purposely ignored his cries, and because of his last remark, he continued to ignore him. What was odd that James was actually looking to find someone else, and that someone being a girl, with red hair, and green eyes.
"James!" Sirius popped up from behind a wall, more like a wound-up Jack-in- the-Box.
"God! You scared me Sirius!"
"Well you wouldn't be if you were paying attention! Hurry up and get your arse on the train before it leaves without us! Moony and Wormtail are already in the compartment."
***************
Lily headed towards the direction of the cabin where the Head Boy and Girl could have their own private room.
'Wait, I should probably go in after I get Ari and Jen. I'm sure they'll want to see the Head Girl cabin'
Lily backtracked and found the compartment with just her best friends and found Ariana and Jennifer casually relaxing in their seats in a deep conversation.
"Lily! You're finally here! And I can see it's about five after eleven, your usual time to arrive." Jennifer was one of those know-it-all people who took notice to minor details.
"You two know me too much." Lily laughed and sat down across from Ariana and next to Jennifer.
"Hey, why aren't you sitting in the Head Girl compartment? I'm pretty sure it's more comfortable than here."
"Well, I was going to invite you two in. Plus, I still don't know who Head Boy is. If it's Malfoy, then I rather stay here, Ari."
That's right. Lily still had no idea who the mysterious Head Boy was. So naïve, she thought the coveted position would be given to Lucius Malfoy, using some inside "connections" to get the position so he could receive perks, not that he already had numerous privileges thanks to his rich father. Not saying that Lily's parents weren't wealthy, Lily preferred to earn her marks the old-fashioned way. But she still had to think about Dumbledore. She doubted he would allow Lucius to become Head Boy. So that's one down. 'Who else is there?' she thought. Snape. That greasy-haired boy with no sense of style. He was already pretty good at Potions but every other subject (besides DADA) he sucked at.
As Ariana, Jennifer and Lily got up, they decided to try to find the trolley with sweets before they went to explore the Head Girl cabin. Getting as much as they could carry with Bernie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, some pumpkin juice and chocolate frogs, they left in the direction of the compartment.
The three girls giggled as they made their way to the compartment after eating some "delectable" earwax beans. They stopped at a dead end, and Ariana and Jennifer exchanged puzzled looks.
"It's a secret compartment, you guys. You're supposed to tap your wand three times, like so." Lily did as she said and said the password 'tarantallegra' and a door appeared. For extra security measures, a second password was needed, which was 'aristophane.' Lily cautiously pushed the door and it creaked loudly. She could hear faint voices of a group of boys.
'Probably Head Boy and his friends' Lily thought.
Without fully opening the door, Lily, Ariana, and Jennifer placed their ears against the crack, straining to maybe here a familiar voice.
Just then, the door widened as all three girls fell onto the floor from surprise, and looked up to see the infamous Marauders, and James Potter, with his Head Boy badge polished and securely attached to his robes, wearing a smirk on his face.
********************
"What in God's green earth are you doing in here?" asked Lily, who was still trying to get over her shocked state.
"What does it look like? I'm Head Boy, and if I'm not mistaken, I think this is the Head Boy and Head Girl cabin!" James rolled his eyes like he was explaining why the sky was blue. Because it just was!
"And how, may I ask, did you ever become Head Boy?"
"Let's see, an owl came to my house, and gave me a letter. Probably similar to what yours said. Good grades, behaved well, yadda yadda yadda. I have to admit I'm shocked myself."
'He sounds so different.' For some reason, James was more. comfortable around her. The last time they met at the Three Broomsticks, he just sputtered out his words. Now he was matching Lily's word repartee word for word! 'Well, we can fight fire with fire, if that's how you like it, Head Boy.'
********************
a/n: yay! Done with this chapter! Hoped you liked it. was kinda boring but it will get better! Planning on big things for this little fic-lette :P woo-hoo!! I got the HP CoS DvD! LoL and so did everyone else. damn that Forbidden Forest activity! It took me FOREVER to do that! I even took notes on which way to turn to avoid the spiders and it did no good! Then my friend tells me she did it in ONE try!! Grr!! I liked Colin's Dark Room with the whole montage thingy. lol I chose every draco malfoy picture to be in it ;D*
btw, I finally updated my blog if anyone's interested to see. but beware, if you're not a Draco Malfoy or Tom Felton fan, don't visit because of the pics!! They're everywhere! Email me or IM me on AIM if you want to see!!! Took me a long time to figure out some stuff..
sooo. since I wrote the next chapter, time for you guys to do me a favor and click the button on the bottom where it says 'submit review' I'll continue the next chapter after I get * at least * 10 reviews. That's all I'm asking! Just making sure who's reading!
