Chapter 2
Lily sat in a compartment on the Hogwarts Express, alone, and scowling at her reflection in the window. Today she would be returning hoe to her awful sister for the Christmas holidays. Her sister Petunia was always jealous of Lily because of her looks, and her intelligence.
Lily had oval shaped emerald eyes that were enchanting to anyone who looked in them. Lily also had dark red hair that fell just below her shoulders, but right now Lily's red hair was not its usual color. It was colored an emerald green to match her eyes, courtesy of James Potter.
She had 'accidentally' bumped into him on the platform, and he turned her hair green. This, however, was normal for James; he was always hexing students in the hallway, just because he could. The arrogant prat! However she couldn't be too mad, because after he hexed her she kneed hi where she knew it hurt. Lily smiled in satisfaction as she remembered his face afterwards, she showed him not to mess with Lily Evans.
Deep down, although Lily would never admit it, she kind of liked James. He had a boyish charm that secretly drove her crazy, and no matter how much she self denied it, she really did like James.
Lily knew Katie would flip if she found out about her crush though. She would probably tease Lily for secretly liking hi all along, and because of this Lily vowed never to tell a soul.
Katie and Lily had always been best friends since the first few days at Hogwarts. The other girls in their dorm didn't especially take to Lily because of her heritage, but Katie never judged Lily because she was a muggleborn. Despite who her family was, all of them had been sorted into Slytherin. Katie had two sisters in Hogwarts Kelly, and Cassandra, both were sent into Slytherin. Kelly was a year younger, and Cassandra was a 7th year. Lily had met both of them and found them very fowl people.
Lily also kept one of Katie's biggest secrets. Her family were followers of the Dark Lord, and Katie too was expected to become a death eater on her 17th birthday. As a result of this Katie knew the dark arts better than most of the Slytherins. Katie of course was against becoming a death eater, and always said one-day she'd run away from it all.
Lily too knew some dark arts, but for different reasons. She always believed that in order to eat something you have to know it first, and beating the dark side was exactly what she planned to do. Although she was muggleborn she was not completely unaware of the murders taking place in the Wizarding World. Lily knew that she was in danger of becoming a victim of the death eaters because she was a muggleborn, and a powerful witch (according to the sorting hat). She was also was afraid for her family. Mostly her parents and her younger sister Rose, she was not too fond of Petunia at the moment.
James was frustrated; he had been going from compartment to compartment looking for Remus and Peter. They had been seperated in the crowd.
He felt slightly bad for hexing Evans, but at the same time he loved to see her mad. Her beautiful eyes flashed, and her face turned as red as her hair. He cringed as he remembered the sensitive area she kneed him in. He hadn't expected her to do that, but that was Lily, fierce and unpredictable.
James liked Lily, but she never seemed interested. In fact she flat out detested him, but this only made him try harder to impress her. However she never showed anything but annoyance when he showed off to her,
Why didn't she like him? He got top marks, was good looking, and was a chaser on the Gryffindor quiditch team. No one knew about his crush though. If Sirius found out he would probably think it was a joke, but James had a sneaking suspicion he already knew. He could sense things like that, unlike Peter who was totally oblivious.
James went into the next compartment, noticing Remus and Peter weren't there, he was about to leave until he noticed who was in it.
"All right Evans?" James asked with a smirk.
Lily's head snapped from the window and when her eyes fell on James they narrowed. "Just fine Potter," she spat then mumbled "Until you got here."
James just smirked more and sat down across from her. He was about to make a rude comment about her hair when the train lurched forward, sending Lily flying onto James's lap.
James took advantage of this opportunity and quickly wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer. Smiling coyly he said, "Why Evans I had no idea you felt this way about me.
Lily turned as red as her hair, and began fighting against his grip. She seemed, to James, more embarrassed then mad. "I don-" was all she managed to say before James closed the distance between them.
Their lips barely brushed, causing an electric shock run through both their bodies, when the compartment door slid open and they jerked apart.
"Prongs.oh so that's where you've been" came Remus's voice for the doorway. James scowled at him for ruining the moment, and made a mental note to get back at him later.
Lily immediately jumped up finally being able to get out of his grip and said, "I've got to go" before dashing out of the compartment.
Remus grinned knowingly at James, and Peter stayed oblivious as usual. A few minutes later peter broke the silence; "Hey did you turn Evans hair green?"
