Somewhere Over the Rainbow. .




Chapter One: Yellow



The next day, Lily proceeded to awake at eight in the morning and apparated near to the train station around Eight Thirty with all of her stuff. Glad no one saw her, she charged into the wall before her. When she stopped, she was in a different looking station. Students her age filled the platform and a giant sign that read, "Platform Nine and Three Quarters," held high over their heads.

Her eyes scanned the crowd, looking for anyone she knew as she pulled her cart of luggage through the pack of students. Her eyes landed on a familiar head of black hair, and she smiled secretly to herself. Her smile quickly disappeared however, as she saw the boys near him.

"JAMES POTTER! Give him that back NOW!" Yelled Lily, her voice booming over half of the chatter.

The boy she was yelling at gave a foolish grin and continued to wave Severus's underwear in the air.

Her cart trailing behind her, Lily ran over. One of James's friends, Sirius Black slipped in front of her before she could reach for James.

"Hi Lily. . Have a nice summer?" He whispered, giving her a charming smile.

Lily's eyes landed on him for a moment only, and that was only to look him in the eye and tell him to move.

"No, you know I can't do that." He said softly.

"Why, would your ring leader whip you?" She asked harshly. Sirius's cheeks flushed a light pink and he stepped out of the way. She hurriedly reached for Severus's underwear from James grip, only to have him smile bigger and pull it from her reach.

"JAMES! Give them back to him!"

"No can do Lily."

Lily's eyes narrowed in disgust and she stepped on his foot hard.

"OW. . Sh--" James yelled a few select words, and Lily grabbed the under garments from his grip. She tossed at Severus's chest and gave James another dirty look.

"Your such a pig, James!"

"Yeah, you love it." Whispered James in a 'sexy voice'.

"Uh. . No." Lily stated bluntly. "I don't love ANYTHING about you. I don't even like anything about you!"

James pouted and Lily ignored him, instead acknowledging the three boys around him. "Sirius. . Remus, Peter." She nodded her head to each of them once, and flipped her dirty blond hair from her face. She shot another rude look at James and turned, grabbing Severus's hand and pulled him away from the four.

She stopped in her tracks, and gave a worried look to her friend. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah. ." He said softly, looking at the ground. He stuffed his hands in his cloak pockets. "You know, that was pretty embarrassing."

Lily gave him a questioning look.

"You coming and rescuing me and all that I mean. Besides the whole underwear waving incident. I'll never live that down." He looked at her seriously and scowled. "Thanks a lot."

Lily gave him a hurt look, before grinning. "Like you would have to begin with!" Lily scoffed. "Yellow Severus? Yellow?"

Severus's grim face broke out into a smile and he began blushing. Lily laughed.

"Come on killer, let's go find a compartment."

It was another moment before either of them moved, and Lily took this moment to look back at James. He was staring at her, and immediately looked away when he saw her turn. Something over his head caught Lily's attention. Over his head, was a beautiful double rainbow that looked like it ended almost right behind him.
