Ch 3 - Everyone is Changing
"Oh my god - you look terrific!"
"You too darling! You've grown taller on me!"
"That top looks divine on you!"
Hugs were all around as the girls were reunited. Lily was fiercely hugging a taller Tammy, thinking how beautiful she's gotten. Sara was giving air kisses to Lily while Tammy beamed at Sara. They were all getting over the shock of how different they all looked, as were the rest of the male population close by.
"Girls, 2 months was way to long, we need to stay together over the holidays, so that something like this doesn't happen again." Said an ecstatic Sara.
"Something like what?" Asked Tammy, puzzled.
"Us nearly not recognising each other because we look so different of course!" cried Lily.
Tammy raised her brows, "But there won't be anymore holidays after this you guys, this was the last one."
Lily frowned, then broke into a grin again and said happily, "All the more time for us to have fun." She linked arms with her best friends and they went to talk to their friends on the platform.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Moony old fellow, it's been to long!" greeted an excited James. Remus grinned and said,
"Still the same as ever Prongs."
"Who? Me or you?"
"Both."
Sirius clapped Remus on the back before winking at a buxom brunette going through the barrier to platform 9 ¾. James and Remus laughed, used to Sirius' second nature of flirting.
"What do ya say chaps? Let's go through together for old time's sake," Said Sirius jovially. They all looked at each other, and then ran like wild men through the barrier. They recovered their composure as soon as they were through, greeting various people on their way towards the train.
Suddenly, Sirius stopped dead in his tracks. James stopped to, followed by Remus. Sirius didn't move. James turned and followed his gaze to land on three VERY beautiful girls.
"I don't remember seeing them before." Sirius said slowly. James looked them over appreciatively and said they must be exchange students.
"No, Dumbledore always tells us at the end of the year if we're going to have exchange students." Remus said slowly. He was looking at the tallest of the three, a tall blonde one who looked very familiar. He knew those legs, that hair; he'd spent most of his years here staring at them. Recognition began to show on the boy's faces. Awe showed on all of their faces, with love and lust on Remus' part, and horror on Sirius' and James' part.
James managed to get 2 words out.
"Not good."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"They're staring."
"Of course they're staring Tammy, look at how different we are," Sara grinned wickedly.
Lily sneaked a look and saw all three staring at them. "Oh my god, they're coming over here."
James and Sirius sauntered up to them, with Remus behind them, almost like he was a trying to hide.
"We're growing into even more of a slut as the years go by, aren't we Cooper?" Sirius grinned.
"No more than you two male whores." Sara snapped back. Just because they knew she had lost her virginity, didn't mean they had to call her a slut.
"So Evans, how's your little puremud boyfriend going?" James asked. Lily's facial expression changed drastically. The hate she felt for James was one hundred times stronger that her hate for Sirius. She had also never forgotten when he had caused her to fall into the lake in fist year. The fact that he always called her muggle boyfriend puremud only made things worse.
"Getting further than you ever will Potter!" she spat. She then coloured at the double meaning in her words. James and Sirius howled with laughter.
James managed to gasp out, "Oooh is ickle Lily getting closer to being deflowered?" before bursting out laughing again. Lily glowered and was fiercely glad she and Sara had a prank planned for them later.
"Hello Tammy," said Remus shyly. Tammy blushed and tried to smile at him, before hastily busying herself about her trunk. Sara and Lily looked at each other in alarm, Tammy and Remus? Remus was no where near as bad as the other Marauders, but still, he WAS part of their group.
Lily heard a muffled squeak ant turned to see a small mousy boy trip over a trunk in his haste to get to them.
"Wormtail, I trust you've saved us a compartment?" said Sirius. Peter Pettigrew nodded and blushed when he saw the girls looking at him. James saluted mockingly at the girls and the boys walked off after Peter.
The girls pounced on Tammy.
"Just what was that blush about?"
"Since when are you too shy to say hello to Remus?" Tammy blushed and shook her head,
"I don't know what you're talking about." Sara and Lily rolled their eyes, they knew there was something going on between those two, well there will be.
Sara excused herself when she saw her boyfriend Zach Thomas beckoning her. She went over and they snogged quite openly and deeply. Lily and Tammy sniggered, Sara got a new boyfriend every few weeks and they knew Zach would be no different.
When she came back over she took one look at their faces and said, "Shut up."
Lily laughed, "We'd better get on the train or there'll be no more seats." They all looked at the train starting up and ran across the platform to get on. They found an empty carriage and went in. The train started up and they ordered a few sweets of the trolley and started to catch up.
All three looked up when the compartment door slid open to see their least two favourite people, other that James and Sirius of course. Well, only one in Lily's case.
"It's nice to see you again Severus," Lily said. She totally ignored Lucius Malfoy and his goon, George Goyle. Sara and Tammy on the other were glaring at all three with uncontained hatred. The glares grew bigger as the boys sat down.
"Just who invited you to sit here Malfoy?" Sara spat angrily.
He looked pleased with himself, "Why me, of course." He said calmly, as if stating the obvious. Snape shot a look of apology at Lily, which she just nodded at. "There is also the fact that our compartment was taken over by giggly girls." He continued.
"So that means you have to take over ours?" Tammy cut in. Lily looked at her in surprise, Tammy hardly ever got angry. Malfoy shrugged and laid his head back. The door opened again to admit more Slytherins. Lily stood up; she could stand these three for a while, but not the whole gang. Sara and Tammy followed her out the door to find another compartment.
Snape's eyes followed Lily's body and sighed as it disappeared. He would give anything to go out with her. She was the only one apart from his friends who was nice to him. But he could never work up the courage, it had almost killed him when he found out she had a boyfriend - a MUGGLE of all people.
Malfoy heard the sigh and looked over at Snape. He knew his friend had a major crush on Lily Evans, for reasons beyond him though. However, he had to admit that Sara had looked very sexy in that white mini.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"The nerve of them, walking into out compartment like that! Then bringing their awful gang with them!" Sara huffed. Tammy nodded silently.
"Snape's not so bad," Lily protested.
Sara shuddered, "What you see in him is beyond me honey."
Lily though to herself it was probably because both of them had always been the butt of James' jokes, which had formed a kind of secret kinship between them, but it was nothing more than friends. Lily could never like Snape in that way, but it was nice to have a friend in Slytherin.
They trailed along the train, finding no empty or half full carriages.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile - at the same time the girls were in their compartment catching up, they boys were doing a little catching up of their own.
"Did you see them?"
"Of course I saw them, we were talking to them," Said Remus wearily.
"No, we were talking to them; you were talking to a certain blonde." James trailed of suggestively. Remus coloured admirably and fell silent. Sirius laughed and clapped him on the back,
"Don't worry Moony old pal, we'll keep your little secret of being in love with a veela."
"She is not a veela!" Remus shouted, then coloured even more, "She's just very tall, and blonde and. perfect." Sirius and James howled with laughter at Remus' last word. Remus sighed and knew that they never saw girls as useful apart from one thing. Something that Remus was not so easygoing about until the right time and person. He was pretty sure that person was Tammy.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Has the Hogwarts population doubled or something? There is absolutely no more seats anywhere!" Lily said angrily.
"Shhhhh." said Sara, ear up against the last compartment in the last carriage. Lily and Tammy raised their brows at each other and went and lent up against the door with Sara.
".sure no one knows Moony, no one has said anything."
"But sometimes people ask me where I go, and I can't say the same thing every time!"
"Well then think of a different thing."
"I'm sure people have questioned you before too and how it's all at the same time Prongs."
"Ah, that's where Quidditch comes in handy."
"For a WHOLE night?"
By now Lily was curious, she was sure she recognised these voices, even the odd names. Sara stood up and slid open the door. Lily gaped. Sirius, James, Remus and Peter all looked up in equal shock and. fear?
"What goes for a whole night?" Sara asked suspiciously. "I know you guys can't live without sex for more than 24 hours but." her voice trailed off.
"How much did you hear?" asked Remus.
"Enough to suspect you." Lily answered.
"Suspect us of what?" asked Sirius innocently.
"We haven't got that far yet have we girls?" Sara replied gaily. Plopping herself down in a seat, she pulled out a chocolate frog and started to munch, staring at all the boys in turn with a grin on her face. Lily and Tammy shrugged and sat down beside her.
"Now wait just a minute, who said you could sit here?" James asked furiously. Equally angry with himself for not realising they were eavesdropping on them before.
"Me. There is also the fact that the delightful Slytherin gang took over out compartment and every other is full." Sara stated calmly.
"So that means you can take over ours?" Sirius said, while Lily got a feeling of Déjà vu. Sara just took another bite of her chocolate frog and grinned.
"I didn't know that sluts and bitches lowered themselves even more by eavesdropping," James said, looking pointedly at Sara and Lily.
"Well then would you care to give us more information about your night time experiences or will we have to eavesdrop again. Once again Lily blushed at the double meaning in her sentence. She mentally scolded herself because she always seemed to not think about what she said before she said it around these two, but this was mostly because she hated them so much.
Sirius and James couldn't stop sniggering after this comment.
"We didn't realise you were so interested in our sex lives, perhaps we should invite you up so you don't have to eavesdrop any longer." James laughed.
"Fuck you; you both knew what I meant." Lily spat.
"No please enlighten us." Sirius said, before bursting in laughter again.
Lily looked pleadingly at Sara, who had been trying to hold back a grin herself. She nodded and stood up, slapped both Sirius and James in the face and sat back down again to resume eating her chocolate frog. The laughing stopped at once.
An awkward silence filled the compartment. No one looked at each other which meant they all ended up staring out the window. Well, except for Remus, who couldn't take his eyes of Tammy.
Inside all of their heads, they were secretly thrilled at the whole new year ahead of them, new beginnings, new pranks, new friends. The castle came into view as they came round a corner, and all the faces lifted at their true home.
~~Okay, another long one, but I hope you enjoyed it all the same. It was fun to write. A certain prank coming up in the next chapter.~~
