Thanx to those who reviewed. I love you.

I changed a little in the first chapter so that Lily was born in January instead.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The days flew past, and Lily told her friends she would go to a boarding school, she did just not tell them that it was a boarding school for witches and wizards. Her mother bought her regular cloths too, so she wouldn't have to dress in robes at weekends and between classes to. "If everybody else dress in robes, you can wear them to, but if everyone dress in normal cloths, then you don't want to be without them." Her mother told her.

Petunia had birthday, and was very glad for the book about Merlin. Way too soon it was time for them to go to King's Cross.

When they came there, with plenty of time left, Lily said goodbye to her parents and Petunia and went on to the platform nine and three quarters. She went along the scarlet train, lifted on her trunk and went looking for a compartment. She found what she thought was the best compartment on the train, and since it was empty and she guessed that someone else would want to sit there, when it was such a good compartment, she sat there, thinking that she could make friends with whoever came in.

When the clock was almost eleven she started to fear that no one would come and sit in her compartment. No one had even opened the door and looked inside. She sighed and took up her book.

Suddenly the door was opened, and (guess who) four boys stepped inside. They seemed to be a bit older than her.

"Hey, what are you doing in our compartment?" the tallest guy asked. He had messy black hair and glasses.

"Eh." Lily didn't really know what to say. This was not how she expected to be greeted. Sure, maybe she was in their compartment, and she was younger than them, but they could still sound a little nice. She had thought it would be easy to get friends, but if all wizards and witches were like those, then she could just go home immediately.

"HELLO, can you talk at all?" another tall guy asked and smirked. He had black hair down to his shoulders and piercing blue eyes. She understood that maybe she had thought a bit to long.

One of the other boys was short and had blond hair and watery blue eyes. He looked afraid and Lily saw on him that he was no one to count on. The fourth boy had sandy hair and quite yellow eyes. He looked very nice, and Lily knew by instinct that he was going to defend her.

"Give us a very good answer, or leave this compartment now." The guy who looked nice said, he too smirking.

Lily bent down her head so they wouldn't see the tears glittering in the corners of her eyes. She took Satan's cage and started to leave.

"Hey, give him a chance, he won't disturb us and the compartment is big enough. I think that all other compartments are already full." Lily looked up, and to her surprise it was the short blonde boy who had spoken. She smiled at him.

"Thanks, but I'm not." she had planned to tell them she was not a boy, but the first guy sneered: "Don't disturb us, didn't you understand?" He glared at the blond boy.

"Good, Peter, now we have to baby-sit this kid all the train ride," the sandy-haired boy said.

Lily almost started to cry, and decided that they wouldn't have to baby-sit her. She took her book and continued reading. The boys talked, three of them sometimes turning around to glare at her, but they soon forgot about her. They talked about a lot of things Lily did not understand, like quidditch, and quodpot and Bertie Botts and muggles and Exploding Snap and Hogsmeade and Gryffindor and Slytherin and someone named Snape. She thought that maybe if she had read Hogwarts a History she would have known, but she hadn't found the time.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

When they got nearer Hogwarts the boys started to change cloths, without asking her to leave or anything. She wondered what she would do, she understood that they thought she was a boy, and if she told them now that she wasn't they would not be to happy with her. They would find out later anyway, and then she did not want to be near. Maybe if she had told them the first time they called her 'he' but they wouldn't let her talk.

She went on reading when they changed, trying hard not to blush. When they were finished she sighed quietly. Unfortunately it was to soon. The boy, Peter, said; "Yo, kid, aren't you going to change?" She looked up. Maybe it was time for her to change, but with them there. never. She took her robes and put them on over her normal cloths and went on reading. The boys didn't seem to care that she had regular cloths under.

After a while she found that she had made a mistake. With only her normal cloths, and probably with only robes the temperature on the train was perfect, but with both on it was way too warm. Well, it was already too late to change.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

When the train stopped she went off and saw that in the end of the platform stood an enormous man waving screaming: "First-years here! First-years come here!" She supposed that she was a first-year, so she went over to him. She and a bunch of other kids followed him down to a lake where they sat in boats four in every boat.

Lily took place in a boat where it already sat three nice-looking girls. She hoped to be able to make friends with them on the boat-ride, but they seemed to be good friends already and didn't talk to her at all.

When the enormous castle came into view everyone gasped. When Lily heard the word 'school' she thought about a big, grey, low building like her last school, and even if she had hoped this may be better she had not expected a castle. She blinked, but it was still there.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

When they got in the castle they were greeted by and stern-looking woman, maybe in her late forties. She told them that she was professor McGonagall and that they soon would be sorted into houses, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff or Slytherin.

In a great hall stood a stool with an old hat on. To Lily surprise the hat started to sing (I won't write the song. If a good person with no life and way much time comes by, he or she can write a song for me). When it was finished every one clapped hands.

Lily looked at the bigger students, sitting looking up the stage. After a while she saw the boys from the train. They didn't see her. Probably they didn't even recognize her. McGonagal started saying names of students that should go up and try the hat. Lily got a bit of worried. What if some one of the other students had lice? She did not want to get lice.

David Abbot was sorted in Hufflepuff, and when Lily heard that McGonagall said the names she got very pleased. The boys would hear that she was a girl, and that would be really fun.

Jessica Advorne was the first Slytherin. The first girl from Lily's boat got in Gryffindor, and Lily saw that the boys from the train were in Gryffindor. She did not want to be in the same house as them, she did absolutely not want to be in Gryffindor.

Joeseph Etter also got sorted into Gryffindor and then McGonagall yelled "Leonard Evans."

Please review. I just want to know if anyone really reads this or if I shall just give up.
