Chapter 4
The way to HogwartsThe time flew by for Remus and Lily until it was two days before they had to get on the Hogwarts express to go to their new school, when Remus had some important news to tell Lily.
"Lils I have to tell you something" Remus said to Lily as they were sitting in Lily's back garden.
"What is it?" Lily asked.
"Well see, you know the day after tomorrow we get on the train, well tomorrow I have to go and see the headmaster of Hogwarts to talk about my situation and how I'm going to cope with it, and I won't be back until really late probably, but you're going to London tomorrow so I guess I'll just meet you on the train" Remus said.
"Ok a lot to take in at once but still, ok no problem" Lily said.
"I love the way you handle things," Remus said to Lily.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Lily asked.
"Well you just say 'ok' and things just really easily when someone's telling you something," Remus explained.
" Is this a compliment mister Lupin?" Lily asked in a smart voice.
"Well it's meant to be" Remus said with a smile on his face.
"Right, so I have to go onto the train by myself? Lily asked
"Well yes but I'll meet you on there" Remus said.
"Ok, look I better go in, petunia's supposed to be looking after me, but lets face it she couldn't even look after a pen" Lily said getting up.
"Ok see you later" Remus said jumping over the fence to his house.
The next day Lily was all packed and ready for the drive up to London; she had packed all of her Hogwarts things including her owl, her and her Mum and Dad got into the car, Petunia didn't want to come because she said she hated the noises that the owl would make on the way up there, when Remus came to the car.
"Right well I guess I'll see you on the train tomorrow" Remus said talking to Lily as she winded down the window.
"Yeah, hey good luck today with Dumbledore" Lily said.
"Thanks" Remus replied.
"Well we better get going" Claire said from the front seat.
"Ok see you later Remus" Lily said putting her seatbelt on.
"Yeah see you" Remus said stepping away from the car and waving as it left the driveway and down the road, and then Sophie came out to see where Remus was.
"Oh there you are" Sophie said, "Have you said goodbye to Lily?"
"Yeah" Remus replied.
"Ok come on then lets go and see Dumbledore" Sophie said as she and Remus walked though the front door and into the fireplace.
The next morning it was the day that Lily and Remus had to get on the Hogwarts express and Lily's Mum and Dad were driving Lily from the hotel to kings cross station.
"Look Lily sorry we can't see you off, it's just we have got to get back to the hotel to pack our things as soon as possible, because we'll hit traffic if were any later" Claire said looking at her daughter as she got out of the car outside the station.
"I understand see you then" Lily said giving her Mum a hug and a kiss and the same to her Dad.
"Have a good time sweetheart," Sean said as Lily walked though the door of the station.
"I will" Lily yelled back at the car, as it was about to drive off.
As Lily got into the station it was full with businessmen waiting for trains and all sorts but the one thing she couldn't find was platform 9 and ¾, she looked down at her letter, which had the platform number on, and it definitely said 9 and ¾, as she was looking round she saw the boy who she bumped into in Diagon alley running up to the wall with 9 and 10 on the sides and to her very surprise her went though the wall, as she turned round see saw another boy who was about to go though it but stopped him.
"Excuse me, I was wondering if you could help me?" she said to the boy walking up to him.
"Of course, anything for a damsel in distress, my name is Sirius, Sirius Black and you would be?" Sirius asked.
"Oh my names Lily Evans" Lily said to Sirius.
"So you're the lovely Lily, I've been wanting to meet you for ages" Sirius said.
"Excuse me but I don't know what you mean" Lily said with a confused look on her face.
"You are the girl who James bumped into in Diagon Alley aren't you? Sirius asked.
"Oh yes I am, so could you tell me how you do that?" Lily asked.
"How you do what?" Sirius asked.
"You know walk though the wall, I suppose it's to get onto the platform" Lily said.
"Oh just run though it and it will take you to the platform" Sirius said, " you can go first, just run towards it"
As Lily started to run towards the barrier all she could think of is that she was going to crash into the wall and as she got close to it she was about to scream when she found out that she was running and opened her eyes and in front of her was a big red steam engine with a cresset on the side of it, and she walked to it a man with a uniform on took her bags off her and put them in a bag compartment on the train and the man told her to go and find a compartment as the train was about to leave.
As she got onto the train she walked down the long corridor full with compartments and all of them had different people in and Lily was starting to lose hope but she found a compartment that had nobody on and went to sit in it, about 45 minutes since she had got in there, she was reading a book when two girls came and in the compartment.
"Hi can we sit here?" one of the girls asked.
"Sure, why not" Lily replied and put down the book as the two girls smiled at her and sat down.
"So what's your name? The other girl asked.
"My names Lily Evans, what are you're names?" Lily said.
"Mines Louise Figg and hers in Michelle White" Louise said.
" But you can call us Lou and Shell" Michelle said.
"And you can call me Lil or Lils, everyone else does" Lily said.
"So are you muggle born or wizard family?" Louise asked.
"Oh I'm muggle born" Lily said.
"Hey so am I, I've just meet Lou outside on the platform" Michelle explained.
"Oh that's cool" Lily said.
"So you don't know anybody here?" Louise said.
"Well I've meet a few boys and my best friend got excepted here to and he's from a wizard family" Lily said, "Actually I've got to go and find him," Lily said.
"Well before you leave, what house do you want to be in?" Michelle asked Lily.
"Um Gryffindor sounds by far the best so I guess that" Lily said.
"Good because that's what we want to be in to," Lou said.
"Right I've got to go and find my friend but I'll see you later, yeah" Lily said getting up.
"Sure" Louise said.
"Bye" Michelle said.
"Bye" Lily answered and walked out the door into the corridor.
Remus had just gotten on the train and found an empty compartment and sat down and all of a sudden he heard a shout and load footsteps, Remus got up and looked out the door to see where all the noise was coming from, and he saw two boys about his age arguing about something and he noticed that one of them had pick hair and was wearing a pick flower dress and another boy was sitting one the floor laughing his head off so hard that his glasses were falling off his face, not wanting to get involved Remus went back into the compartment. A few minutes later the boy that was laughing walked into the compartment.
"Hi can me and my friend sit here?" the boy asked.
"Sure" Remus said.
"I'm James Potter by the way," the boy said.
"Oh I'm Remus Lupin" Remus answered.
"So Remus what house do you want to be in?" James asked.
Gryffindor, how about you?" Remus said.
"Gryffindor to" James said.
"What was that all about outside" Remus asked.
"Oh well my mate Sirius played a prank on this greasy haired kid Snape, and as you might have heard or seen Snape didn't take it very well" James explained.
"Oh" Remus said and just then another boy walked into the compartment, Remus remembered him as the one that was arguing with that boy Snape.
"Hi Sirius, right Sirius this is Remus Lupin and Remus this is Sirius Black" James introduced the two boys to each other.
"I'm not serious though, quite the opposite" Sirius said with a smile and Remus and James let out a small laugh.
"Hey Sirius Remus wants to be in gryffindor to" James said.
"Oh that's good" Sirius said, "I was…"
Sirius was cut of by a girl walking though the door who he remembered as Lily Evans the girl he helped onto the platform, Sirius was going to enjoy this because he knew that James had the slightest crush on Lily since he had meet her in Diagon Alley.
"Remus there you are!" the girl said and walked over to Remus.
"Hi Lily, these are…" Remus started to explain.
"Don't worry about introducing us we already know each other" Lily said.
"Really how?" Remus asked.
"Well I bumped into James in Diagon Alley and Sirius helped me onto the platform" Lily explained.
"Oh ok" Remus said "have a seat Lils"
"Hi James" Lily said as she sat between him and Remus as she couldn't get onto the other seat because Sirius was lying on it with his head leaning on his elbow.
"Oh hi…hi Lily" James managed to say and Sirius stiffed a laugh in his throat.
"And you Sirius, hi" Lily said to him.
"Hi Lils" Sirius said as the train stopped at the station in Hogsmeade village and as the four of them were walking out they saw a giant man standing there asking for first years.
"First years, all the fist years here please" (A/N: I'm not even going to attempt the accent) the giant man said.
"Hi Hagrid" James said as the four walked up to him.
"Oh hello James, Sirius, how've you two been?" Hagrid asked.
"Not bad" Sirius answered.
As all the first years were gathered together Hagrid led them to a line of boats and told them to all get in with 5 in a boat, in James boat there was James, Sirius, Remus, Lily and a boy called Frank, when they were in the boat for about 10 minutes they could see the first view of Hogwarts and Lily opened her mouth slightly 'it's amazing' Lily thought.
