Okay, here is my 3rd chapter of actual story. I'm sorry if it is not very good. PLEASE review.

Oh, and White Ivy- Don't worry Lily is not pining over James, she is just trying to forget about him and how funny he was.

*********************************************************************************************

The next morning Lily woke up having totally forgotten about how cute James was. "I just thought he was funny," she thought to herself, "I'll never think of him as anything other than a friend." That thought helped her go through the rest of the summer without any thought of James Potter.

Soon it was September 1st and Lily was on her way to Kings Cross Station where she would go to Platform 9 ¾ then get on the Hogwarts Express that would take her to her new school. Her mum was driving and she was in the seat next to her. Petunia was in the Back seat (she didn't want to come, but her mum made her.) Lily's dad was on a business trip, so he couldn't come, but he had told Lily bye before he left. Lily was getting nervous and her mum could tell so she said, " Don't worry honey, you'll do great at Hogwarts, and I'm sure you'll make lots of friends." Lily felt comforted by this and slowly her nervousness went away.

When they reached the station Lily immediately got out of the car to get a trolley for her trunk and owl( Harriet) and started making her way towards the platform. When Lily got to where the platform should have been she couldn't find any Platform 9 ¾. She was just about to go ask one of the Station workers when she heard, " Do you need any help miss?" in a high Falsetto voice. "Jamie?" she asked. "Is that you?" "Of course it is silly," replied "Jamie", "don't you remember me?" Of course I do Jamie, I just didn't recognize you for a second," she replied. Lily's mum walked up and said, " Oh Lily, who is this lovely young lady?" "I don't think we have met before." "Mum," said Lily, "This is Jamie, I met her in Diagon Alley, she was the one who knocked me down." "Oh right," said her mum, "It's nice to meet you Jamie, you'll have to come visit our house sometime, we would like that." "That sounds nice, Mrs. Evans," replied James then turned to Lily and said, "We better go, the Train is leaving in five minutes." Lily agreed and said goodbye to her mother then walked through the barrier with James.

Lily was amazed that they could do something like that and James told her that it was for their protection from the Muggles. Lily asked what a muggle was and when James told her she was relieved because she thought that maybe a muggle was a bad word for non-magic folk. She didn't want to have to yell at him. James went and hid in a corner to take off his "Jamie" outfit, then they went onto the train and got themselves a compartment.

They started talking about their summers and what they did. James had just told Lily a funny joke when two boys walked in. One boy greeted James cheerfully and the other one just glanced around stopping his gaze on Lily. " So James," said the one boy, "I found Remus here looking a little lost so I told him he could share our compartment, but it looks like he can since you brought company, too, and what fine company she is." " Lily don't listen to him," said James, " he's crazy." "No I'm not, replied the boy, I'm Serius," he said pausing for a second, "Serius Black." "And I am Remus Lupin," added the quiet boy.

"Well," replied Lily, "I am Lily Evans, and it is a pleasure to meet both of you."

With the introductions having been made they all settled down for the long train ride. A ride that Lily thought was going to be very interesting with these three boys. "You can count on that," thought Lily to herself, "You can count on that."

Well there it was. What do you think? I thought about writing more, but I don't feel like it. I'll write lots this weekend, but probably not tomorrow. Mostly Saturday and Sunday. Please tell me what you think.
