Chapter 2 New Friends and a Rocky beginning
Lily Evans sat in a compartment near the back on the Hogwarts Express. She had said good-bye to her parents only ten minutes ago, but it felt like eternity.
She thought of her house, a big brick one with black shutters, her bedroom with the mint green walls and the tie-dye bulletin board with pictures of her friends on it, her gentle mother, always ready with a hug, her father, always ready to hear her problems and encourage her, and her bratty older sister, Petunia, who always acted like she had a bad smell under her nose.
She then thought of the day she received her Hogwart's letter. Her parents had been puzzled at first, but then they welcomed the news with welcome arms. Her sister, however, had only said a couple of words: I always knew you were a freak! Ouch. Lily acted like the words didn't bother her, but deep down, they hurt real bad.
As the Hogwarts Express rumbled over a bridge, Lily heard someone speaking outside her compartment. She held her breath and listened to the conversation, chiding herself for listening.
"Summer, oh why did you do that? No, don't answer that. Now he's gonna be out for our heads!" a voice shrilled.
"Oh, I dunno. He got on my nerves, and before I could help it, I hexed him. But, you gotta admit, it was funny!" the person, Lily guessed, named Summer said.
"Hey, look, before he finds us, let's find a compartment and sit down, ok?" the other person said.
Before Lily could say anything, the compartment door opened revealing two girls about her age standing there. One of the girls was short with blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes and the other girl was tall with raven black hair and mysterious violet eyes. The one with black hair started to talk.
"Hi! Do you mind if we can stay here for a while?" She asked.
Lily nodded and stuck out her hand. "Hi! I don't mind at all. I don't think we've met before. I'm Lily Evans, and this is my first year going to Hogwarts," she replied cheerfully.
"Thanks a bunch! Oh, I'm Candace Minyatur, but PLEASE call me Candy. Candace sounds to, um... stuffy. Candy sounds much better," the black haired one said.
"Ahem." the petite blonde said, "what about me? Aren't you gonna introduce me to Lily?" she asked.
"Hehe, sorry Summer. This is Summer Dippet, granddaughter of the former Headmaster Dippet, twin to Autumn Dippet, and an excellent chaser, but she can't play for the team yet," Candy pouted.
Summer flashed a smile. "Don't mind Candy there. She can be a little Quidditch crazy at times," she said, earning a "HEY!" from her friend. "So, what house do you want to be sorted into? I would like to go to Grffyndor, but Ravenclaw wouldn't be that bad."
Lily looked confused. "Quidditch? House?" she asked, puzzled.\
"Your muggle bor." Candy started, but was rudely interrupted as the compartment door slammed open for the second time that day.
Lily, Candy and Summer stood stock still like deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming car. I took all Lily had to keep from laughing.
Four boys stood in the doorway if the compartment. One of them was short and pudgy, and the other three of them were tall, one with sandy hair and the other with shoulder length black hair. The fourth boy's hair was hard to determine what its natural color because it had been turned bright pink. Lily heard Summer snicker, and she remembered what the two other girls had been talking about when they came in. That was too much for Lily, and she burst out laughing.
Pink hair boy's face turned bright red as he scanned the compartment. His gaze landed on Summer, who was bent double with laughter.
"You," he growled.
"Me," Summer squeaked, gasping for air. She stood up and walked around the boy, wand at the ready. "Hum... I think that next time we should go a little bit lighter, pink isn't your most flattering color. I think that you need to expand your horizon," she said, looking like she was in deep thought. Then she pointed at his hair and muttered something under her breath. Lily got just a wisp of what she said, but she only heard "Colra..."
"Uh oh..." Candy said when she saw what Summer had done. Everyone burst out laughing, except for former pink hair boy.
"What are you laughing at?" He asked, totally confused. Summer stepped aside and bowed, and then he caught a glimpse of his reflection in the window, and screamed bloody murder.
Summer had charmed his hair so that it changed color every time he turned. Lily and Candy leaned against each other, laughing.
"You little..." The boy began.
"I'm little? Why thank you, but I've always been told that I'm petite!" Summer retorted innocently.
The boy's face got redder and redder, and Lily felt sorry for him. She decided that as funny as it was, Summer should turn him back.
"Hey Summer, I think you should turn his hair back," she told her friend.
"Really? I think that this is verry him. The pink was too much, but this show's his inner beauty," Summer pouted.
"Calm down James. She's just a girl," the sandy haired boy said to his friend, trying to clam him down somewhat.
Judging by the look on Summer's face, Lily guessed that he had said the wrong thing.
"Just a girl? I'm JUST a girl? Hey, lemme tell you this buddy, I know enough hexes to make you feel like a newborn kitten that can't even meow. Take that back and I'll personally make sure that James's hair stays like that permanently and that you get a new 'do," Summer hissed.
"Alright alright! I take that back. Now change his hair back!" The sandy haired boy pleaded, pulling a puppy dog face at them.
Summer laughed and murmured the counter curse. James's hair returned to its natural color, black, much to his relief.
"Now that that's taken care of, I think that I do not know you guys," the one with shoulder length black hair said. "Now, let me introduce myself. I am Sirius Black, drama king extordinare, that one whose hair was once, um... Multicolored is James Potter, an excellent chaser, (at this Summer snorted) that loudmouth over there Remus Lupin," he said, indicating the sandy haired boy, "and this is Peter Pettigrew," he finished, pointing to the short boy behind him. "And you are.?"
Candy elected herself as spoke person of the girls. "I am Candy Minyatur, the hexing one over there who is a better chaser than James is Summer Dippet, and the red head is Lily Evans," she reported.
Over the rest of the train ride, the new friends played exploding snap and talked about what house they wanted to be in. All went smooth until for the third time the compartment door banged open.
Lily found herself looking at four bleach blonde, gray eyed people. When they saw who was in the compartment, they sneered with disgust and left.
"Who were they?" Lily asked.
"Malfoys Danielle, Michelle, Nicole, and Lucius, but they are all slimy gits. Pay no attention to them," James said with out looking up. Lily made a mental note not to get in their way and continued to beat James at exploding snap, much to his dismay.
