Sorry it took so LONG to write more-been busy!! Well hope ya like!
As the train came o a halt, Lily exited the compartment and joined the long line of students getting off the train. She slowly ran a hand through her soft, red, curly hair. Curly? She didn't want it to be curly. Even though she liked her loose curls, she still wanted hair like Tiffany's. Long, straight, beautiful. Instead hers was long and curly. She had to think up a way to get rid of her curls.
When she was about 10 feet away from the exit, James, Sirius, Remus and Peter all came out. James pushed past her, but gently. Not like he normally did. He normally shoved her out of the way, making her run into a wall or the closest thing to her. Sirius just smiled and signaled for her to go on before him. She gave a weak smile back and went on after James.
James jumped off the train and held the door for Lily, offering her his hand. She gave him a weird look and he smiled a cheesy smile. She rolled her eyes, grinning and took his hand. He helped her off the train and waited for Sirius and Remus and Peter, while she waited for Tiffany and Lexi. 'Wow! What a gentleman he was being! Who would have thought.'Lily glanced at James, and pursed her lips. Maybe the girls were right. Of course, she had been saying that to herself for the past half hour. No, they cant be right. This was James Potter we were talking about.
She saw Tiffany exit and then Lexi and she smiled at them. Lexi walked up to her and whispered, "Mrs. Lily Potter. Has a nice ring don't you think?" Lily gave Lexi a shove and laughed.
"No, it doesn't have a nice ring."
"I think it does," said Tiffany, smiling. "Apparently ha thinks so too."
"What are you on about?"
"Why is he being so nice to you? He always picks on you and now..POOF! He's a changed man! Things don't happen that fast."
"So, what are you trying to say."
"Well, I'm not quite sure yet. I'm still trying to figure a few things out." Lily laughed. "I'm serious! Just bare with me here and I'll tell you what I know soon." Lily just gave her a puzzled look and Tiffany sighed, exasperated. Was it Lily's fault that she didn't catch on quickly? They walked to the carriages rather slowly, seeing as there was some sort of a hold up near the front. Students were craning their necks to see what the problem was. Lily sighed and crossed her arms across her chest. She let a small yawn escape and rubbed her eyes. She was very tired and she hadn't even been to dinner yet. What a busy day she's had so far. Her eyelids drooped slightly and she yawned yet again. She looked up at the cloudy sky above, and then, without warning, it began to rain again(the rain had stopped before and was beginning again now). Lily shielded her head with her arms. She heard several screams from girls and laughing from the boys. Lily didn't see what was so funny. And of course, Sirius, James and Remus were among those boys. They were also splashing in puddles, making sure they got some of the girls wet. Sirius tried to stomp in a puddle to splash Lily but she moved away.
"Oh no you d."Then she screamed. Water splashed up the back of her legs and soaked the bottom on her skirt, as well as her socks. She spun around to see James grinning at her. She gave him a hard stare and pretended to back up, but then stomped in a puddle in front of him, sending water up the front of his shirt and pants. "Two can play that game, James Potter." He smirked and she smirked back. Finally, the line had begun to move and they soon made their way to a dryer location. It was pitch black and they were soaking wet by the time they reached the carriages. James tried to splash Lily a couple more times but she didn't fall for his "tying his shoes" trick. Every so often he would reach back and poke her in the arm. Once, he even got her in her stomach and she squealed. He turned and smirked.
"So your ticklish, eh?" Lily pursed her lips trying to suppress a giggle, and backed up, unsure of what James was going to do. But he didn't tickle her or splash her. He didn't do anything. He just kept the smirk on his face and turned, walking up to an empty carriage. Lexi, before Lily could stop her, yelled, "Hey boys! Mind if we sit with you?"
"No! Not at all," said Remus and the other two looked at him with raised eyebrows. He didn't seem to notice this, as he was watching Lexi the entire time. Lexi smiled and her and Tiffany guided(more like pushed)Lily over to the carriage. She shot each of them a cold glance.
Remus smiled at Lexi and held the door open for her and let it slam shut in Tiffany's face. Sirius rolled his eyes and opened the door just as she was about to reach for the handle.
"Sorry 'bout him. He's love struck." Tiffany giggled and entered the carriage.
When everyone had gotten in, they sat there, silent, listening to the rain splatter on the windows. When the carriage finally did move, it lurched, causing the girls to nearly fall out of their seats. All the while, when they were holding onto the sides and the seats, the boys were snickering. The whole way to the castle it was an uphill ride. Lily, Lexi and Tiffany were sliding all over the place while the guys just sat and watched, highly amused.
"Can you guys please trade us places?" Tiffany asked, almost slipping out of her seat.
"Hmmmmm...no," said Sirius and the other two laughed. The carriage wheel ran over a rock and the three girls fell from their seats. Lexi flew into Remus, Tiffany fell to the floor and Lily was slammed into James' knees. She sat up rubbing her arm.
"James, why on earth did you have to splash me for? I'm sliding everywhere!"
'Because I was bored. Why do you complain all the time?"
"I don't complain all the ti-"
"Oh, Will you two just shut it?" Sirius yelled, above the noise. They immediately became quiet and looked over at him. "Thank you. Don't you two ever get along?" Lily and James stared at each other.
"No," they said in unison. But they both knew that that was a lie. They had gotten along when they were in the compartment with each other. They hadn't said anything but that was better then throwing insults at each other.
'Yeah. I didn't think so." Sirius had helped Tiffany back into her seat and Lexi and Remus were staring at each other. Tiffany giggled silently at the look in Remuses eyes. He really was love struck James shook his head laughing.
"I've never seen him act like this over a girl before," he said. Sirius was shaking with suppressed laughter.
"Oh you two! I think its cute," said Lily smiling at the way the two were looking at each other. "I've never seen people look at each other like that before. I've only seen it in movies."
"I have. Its nothing new."
"Maybe not to you. You have every girl falling all over you."
"No, not every girl. You don't fall all over him do you, Lily?" Sirius asked. James felt like he could've died on the spot.
"Yes she does," Tiffany said, smiling. Lily's jaw dropped.
"I do not!"
"You said that you dream about him day and night." Tiffany knew perfectly well that Lily was being sarcastic. She just wanted to see her reaction.Sirius looked over with raised eyebrows, a slight smile on his face.
"Is that so?"
"No! I was joking!" She glared at Tiffany who was doing her best not to burst out laughing. "James, you were there! Tell them I was joking!"
James had known she would never say anything like that about him. And he was trying to get on her good side. This dare was killing him.
"She was just joking, Sirius." Tiffany's jaw dropped slightly and Lily stared at him. She didn't actually think he would tell Sirius that. He glanced at her and she gave him a small, relieved smile and mouthed 'Thank you'. He gave her a quick nod to Sirius and Tiffany wouldn't notice and turned his gaze out the window. Sirius owed him big time.50 galleons wouldn't be enough.
