" Gee Lily, you didn't have to start a fight with him. He seemed nice enough!" Remus said

" Nice?! Remus he was a total jerk to me, can't you see that! I have to stick up for myself you know!" She snapped back breaking her arm free of Remus' grasp

They walked down the street, silently steamed. Lily's face was a deep crimson and Remus had his arms crossed. He muttered something about going into the pet shop. Lily came with him, because, even if they were mad at each other, they were still friends. Remus asked the old witch for a rat. He found a gray one with white stripes. Lily got a ginger owl.

"What are you gonna call that rat Remus?" Lily asked, with a touch of coldness in her voice

"Dotty." He replied, equally as cold

" mmm..." Lily replied

There was a long silence as they walked through the busy street. Neither of them were good at apologising, for they were both too stubborn. At one point, Remus turned to Lily, as if to say something, but quickly returned to looking straight ahead. When they reached the end of Diagon ally, they turned to each other

"I'm sorry!" they both blurted out at the same time. There was a brief moment of silence and then they both laughed. Then they walked off to find Remus' parents and go home.

****************************************

"Oi! Lily!" Remus called "Over here!"

Lily had just arrived at the train station. The train for Hogwarts was leaving at 10:00 am and she was still not sure where the platform was. She knew there couldn't be such thing as platform 9 and 3/4! She wore her Hogwarts uniform.

"Remus!" she yelled, running up to him "Where do we catch the train?!" she said in a panicked way

" Calm down Lily! I found out where it is. All we have to do is go through that brick wall over there!" he said, pointing towards a wall between platforms 9 and 10

"Walk through a wall? Is that all! We may as well go walk on water while were at it!" Lily said sarcastically.

" C'mon Lily, let's just try. I'll even go first to show you that I'm right!"

" And If you're not you'll end up a big splat on the wall!" She said sternly

" Well I'm going. Here I go..." he said, his voice a bit unsure. He ran full till at the wall and then... he went right through it. Lily was shocked. She took a step back and followed Remus through the wall.

" Lily! I was right!" Remus said smugly. Lily held up her fist and Remus shut up. They dropped their bags off at the Hogwarts Express ( A huge scarlet steam engine that took everyone to Hogwarts) and boarded the train. It took them a while to find a compartment, but they did eventually. Lily was exited.

" Well this aught to be fun as long as I don't see Potter!" She said cheerfully

At that, the compartment door slid open...
