Chapter 2

As soon as the train reached Hogwarts, Lily, Jasmine and Malerie headed into the Great Hall. They took their seats in the Gryffindor Table and watched the Sorting begin and end.

" Do you realize that that was our last tie seeing a Sorting?" said Lily.

" Yea. It seems like yesterday when we were all up there." Said Malerie reminiscently.

" Oh well. At least I got school out of my life." Said Jasmine simply.

Lily and Malerie rolled and grinned at Jasmine. Then at the corner of Lily's eyes, she saw James and the Marauders coming over.

Oh gees! Thought Lily. Malerie looked rather excited. ( Lily and Jasmine always thought she had a thing for Sirius. Which Malerie denied utterly.) Jasmine took no notice and continued with her mashed potatoes.

" Good evening, Miss Evans. Miss Johnson, Miss Miyasaki. Do you mind sit down?" said James in a tone of voice that suggested a pinnacle of maturity.

" Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?" asked Lily with her eyes narrowed.

Sirius, Remus and Peter already took their seats next to Jasmine and Malerie.

" Nothing. I just would like to sit." said James, a bit shakier voice this time with his "gentleman" voice.

" Go ahead. It's not like your not sit down even if I say no." said Lily dismissively and returned to her steak.

James opened his mouth to strike another conversation.

" So how are you doing, Remus." Interrupted Lily.

" Oh, I'm alright." Replied Remus.

James opened his mouth again to speak.

" So how are you, Sirius? I feel like we haven't had the chance to talk lately." said Lily.

" I'm ok." Said Sirius, trying hard not to laugh at James' frustrated face.

" Good. Do you know there was just a flu epidemic in London?" said Lily now starting on her salad.

James opened his mouth to speak again. Peter was a little disappointed that Lily didn't ask him how he was doing.

" Well, it is Hogwarts, Madam Gooden will probably fix that in a snap." Said Lily a little louder.

She did this throughout the entire dinner.

"Well, there is always tomorrow, Prongsie." Said Sirius reassuringly and jokingly at the same time.

" Oh shut it will you." Said James before closing his curtains of his four poster bed and drifted into a dream that involved him and Lily in the Prefects Bathroom.
