I let go of James' throat and sat down next to him and looked at my nails. Even though I was looking down I could see Remus and Sirius starring at me, then the cape. James stopped gasping and got up quickly. He sat down next to Sirius. They all starred at me for a few more minutes, and then the train started to move. Sirius finally said something,' Why didn't you tell us about the cape?! We could have used it for a prank!' Remus said,' Yeah, Lil, why didn't you tell us?!' James glared at me, then he said in a hoarse voice, 'Never. Do. That. Again.' I smiled and said ok, then picked up the cloak, put in the trunk and said, 'I'm for a walk, I'll be back, ok?' None of them heard me, they were playing Exploding Snap. None of them noticed as I slipped out.
I left the compartment and quietly laughed. They couldn't resist me. I mean, they couldn't resist forgiving me. I walked towards the back of the train, trying to find an empty compartment, so I could clear my head. I finally found one at the very end of the train and stepped in. It wasn't until I closed the door that I realised I wasn't alone.
'Hi baby,' he said. He looked just as hot as ever and had his green eyes just on me. 'Well, aren't you gonna sit down?' His voice some special power and I suddenly found myself sitting down across from him. 'So, Lily, tell me the truth, what's up with you and Sirius? I wanna know if I have a chance,' he said moving to sit next to me. When I didn't say anything, he put his arm around my shoulder, sending chills up and down my spine. 'Well aren't you gonna say something?' he said with a small smile on his lips. 'I have nothing to say to you. I'm leaving,' I said, getting up and starting to get nearer to the door. He gave me chills and made me feel unsafe, as usual. He grab my arm,' Oh, no you don't, we're gonna talk. SIT DOWN,' he said forcefully, twisting my arm so forcefully that I fell into his lap. He acted surprised, like I did it on purpose. He smiled and asked, 'Lily, you like sitting on my lap?' 'No,' I said coldly, trying to get up. He held on to my waist, but I wriggled out of his grip and started running. He grabbed me and slapped me, then quickly left the compartment. 'Watch out Mudblood. Watch out,' he said fiercely before he left. I was shocked. No one had ever slapped me that hard before. My cheek felt like it was burning and my head hurt. James, even though we fought, would always be 'gentler' on me because I was a girl.
I walked back to the boy's compartment and sat down near the wall, putting the cheek he slapped up against the cool window. I was almost asleep when Remus came over and sat down on the floor so he could peer into my eyes. Sirius and James, now best friends again, were talking about Quidditch.
Remus looked into my eyes and could immediately tell that something was wrong. He brushed a strand of my red hair behind my ear. 'Your shine is gone Lil. What happened? We're not mad at you, you know that, right?' he said, his eyes full of concern. I lifted my cheek away from the glass and tilted my head. I knew there was a bruise by the look in his eyes. 'Who?' he said, a little bit too loud, because he was really upset.
'Who what?' said Sirius, looking up from his conversation with James. James also looked up and glared at me. 'Nothing Sirius.' I said, trying hard to look innocent. He seemed to believe me and turned back to James. 'No, wait Sirius, there is something,' Remus said. I tugged at his arm, trying to get him to stop. He had Sirius' and James' full attention. 'Someone hit Lily.' James surprised me. He looked confused, then yelled, 'What?' Sirius ran over to me and looked at my cheek. 'Who?' he said, barely able to get the words out of his mouth, he was so angry. I shook my head and said,' No one worth talking about, ok? Let's just forget about it.' 'Sirius looked at my eyes and then asked, 'Malfoy?'
I nodded my head and the next thing I knew the three boys were already out of the compartment and on their way. I ran after them, Sirius in the lead, James last. I couldn't catch up to them and I lost track of them.
Then I heard cheering and walked into the compartment where it was coming from. James was on top of a 4th year Slytherin boy, who I recognised as Malfoy's 'friend'. Remus was under another of Malfoy's 'friends', getting beaten. But the crowd was cheering on Malfoy and Sirius, who were rolling around on the floor; Sirius was getting the most punches in. Malfoy looked absolutely terrified.
The three fights soon ended, as the conductor and two 7th year prefects (both of which I recognised from my earlier fight with James). They smiled at me, then rushed in to stop Sirius and Malfoy from beating each other to a pulp. They succeeded (eventually) and Sirius, James and Remus left the compartment with me, all looking extremely battered, but happy. We talked until the train started to slow, then quickly got dressed in our black robes.
After the Sorting and the Feast, our Headmaster, Professor Dumbledore, made a few notices and then said, 'Would Misters Black, Potter, Lupin and Miss Evans please come to my office after the hall is cleared?' We nodded slowly. This wasn't the first time we had been called to his office and we weren't afraid. After the hall was emptied, we walked to Dumbledore's office. He was waiting outside, in front of the gargoyle with a smile on his lips, his eyes twinkling. 'Did you have a good reason for it?' he said, knowing that we would know what he meant. 'Yes Professor,' James said. 'Ok then, you may go to bed then,' he said, laughing. 'Lily and Sirius, I still need to talk to you.' He said this with a note of sterness in his voice. Remus and James walked away, as Dumbledore said the password (Golden Eggs) and the gargoyle sprung open.
We sat down in to big armchairs, while Dumbledore walked around his desk and sat down. 'Lily and Sirius, I have a very important matter to speak with you about.
