*Chapter 5*
Lily opened the door to the last compartment on the train, it was empty, 'thank god' she thought as she heaved her trunk under the seat, and collapsed on the seat. Ryan had gone to find her little sister; she was starting Hogwarts this year. Lily took out her CD player, she wasn't the best at charms for nothing, she had found a charm to make it work at Hogwarts, thankfully, she didn't think she could live without it. She started softly singing along to the strums of the gin blossoms, as was her habit.
James opened the door to the last compartment, he hadn't seen his friends anywhere. Lily was sitting there staring out the windows singing softly, her hair looked like it had been thrown carelessly into a bun running out the door; she had on a black 'hello kitty' t-shirt, green cargo pants, and sneakers. She hadn't noticed him yet as she was looking out the window. And although he couldn't take her eyes off of her, what really amazed him was her voice. Sure, he'd heard her sing before, but it always amazed him when he heard it, he never thought anything could sound so. perfect.
"Hello, these seats taken?" he asked when he realized he was staring.
She over at him and grinned "Yup sorry" but she motioned for him to sit down. They hadn't seen each other since the day after the concert, they had ended up sleeping at James's house, which was in London, that night. The next day though, Ryan, Remus, and herself had flooed back to Remus's house.
"Have you seen anyone else?" James questioned as he sat.
"Well, Ry is looking for her little sister, Remus. well. it's a full moon tonight.. so he flooed directly to Hogsmeade so there would be no problems., and I havn't seen Sirius" she replied "or Peter" she added as an after thought
James just shrugged then took out a book and began to reading, as lily went back to looking at the families outside.
"You know Prongs, you never fulfilled your promise."
He started at her blankly for a minute before... "Oh. yeah. right."
"Well. no one is around now."
"Alright. you promise not to tell.. anyone? Even Ryan"
"Pinky swear."
"What?"
"Never mind, muggle thing, I promise"
"Alright.. well. When the guys and I found out in second year, that Remus was. well.. you know.. we really wanted to do something to help him. Anyway, we did a lot of research, and we found out werewolf's wont harm animals."
"keep going"
"Well. then had that transfiguration class on animagus's." At this Lily blinked, then a look of understanding came onto her face.
"And you didn't let me in on this why?"
"Well. We planned on telling you. its just." her trailed off.
"Never seemed the right time... I get it. but still that's wicked cool... Dangerous. but wicked cool. so. what are you? Wait... Let me guess. prongs.. So.. Something with antlers.." She startled to grin slyly "so. are you a moose?" James chocked and nearly fell of the seat.
Sputtering her replied "NO!"
"Relax Jamie, I was just kidding" now smirking "so what are you really moose boy?"
After casting her an evil glare he replied "a stag, Sirius is a big black dog, Peter is a rat."
"Wicked. You should tell Ryan too. Anyway, how long did it take you?"
This is when the compartment door slid open and Sirius walked in, tailed by Peter.
"LILY-BILLY! JAMSIE! I've been looking all over for you!" Sirius exclaimed with a grin. Sirius was tall, about the same height as James, he had short black hair, and mischievous dark blue eyes, He had a round face. He wasn't thin, but he wasn't bulky. His figure had come from years on the Gryffindor house team. He played as beater, while James played as chaser.
"About three years Lils and if you really want you can tell her, and we've been here the whole time Sirius, but its good to see you still alive." James said standing up and clapping Sirius on the back. "and oh yeah.DON'T CALL ME THAT!" But he was grinning.
"Awww but Jamsie" James shot him a glare. He shut up.
"Hello Peter, how was your summer?" Lily asked politely
"Fine thanks for asking" replied the slightly chubby blond haired brown eyed boy slumping down into a chair taking out a bar of chocolate, which he opened and began eating.
The compartment slid open again to reveal Ryan and a nevus looking little girl, with hair a little lighter than Ryan's, but her same, warm brown eyes.
"Hey everyone, This is Lindsay. Linds this is. James, Sirius, Peter, and you know Lils" She waved shyly at the boys before grinning at Lily and running up to hug her.
"Hey Linds, how was your summer? Did you like New York?" Lily asked hugging the girl.
"It was soooo much fun! we went in the statue of liberty and climbed a WHOLE bunch of stairs."
"That's cool; I heard you went to plays, which was your favorite?
"The lion king!"
"So are you going to sit with us, or are you going to find some other first years?"
Lindsay looked around shyly from her seat between lily and Ryan. The boys were sitting on the other side. Sirius and James had started a game of cards; Peter was still munching on his chocolate.
"Will you come help me find first years Lily?"
"Of course, let's go a'huntin'"
Lindsay giggled and hugged her sister good bye, waving shyly to the boys. And the two girls set off in search of first years.
Walking down the hall, looking into compartment windows, they finally found a compartment with two boys and a girl, who looked extremely nervous. Opening the compartment door, and walking in, Lily smiled at them. "Hello, My name is Lily Evens, this is Lindsay Daniels, could she sit with you?"
The other girl smiled, and looked relived that she would not be alone with the two boys anymore. "Yup! I'm Kayla Picot, but you can call me Kay" And she patted the seat next to her.
Lily left the compartment a short while later, looking back in the window, she saw the girls chatting away like they had known each other forever. She smiled as she remembered When she had met Ryan.
~Flashback~
Lily had entered the Ravenclaw first year dorm, feeling sad. She had wanted to be placed in the same house as Remus, But he had been sorted into Gryffindor. She was happy to be in Ravenclaw, excited in fact, but she would miss being able to see Remus whenever she wanted. She sighed and looked around the room. There were five beds, two beds between the Door to the hall and the bathroom, on the right side of the room, with a window and a nightstand in-between them, three on the other half of the circular doom. Two nightstands shared between the tree beds. Her trunk was at the end of the bed on the right side of the room closest to the door. It was a beautiful Four-poster bed made of maple; it had light blue sheets and a silver comforter and dark blue drapes. She smiled as she went over to her trunk and pulled out a picture of her family and set it on the nightstand. She looked up as another girl entered the dorm, looking around eyes finally landing on the bed next to Lily's as she started to walk over, Lily had said, in a quiet voice.
"Hi, I'm Lily"
The girl started as her head snapped to Lily.
"You scared me! I didn't see you! I'm Ryan"
"Isn't that a boys name? no offence or anything, I think its cool"
"Well, its usually a boys name, but its not only a boys name. I like it too, I never wanted a girly name." Ryan answered with a shrug. "But you can call me Ry, that's what my little sister calls me, she couldn't pronounce Ryan when she was little and it kinda stuck, she's six, and she's the cutest kid alive; want to see a picture of my family?"
"Sure!"
They had stayed up really late talking about everything, they didn't' have classes the next day, as it was the first day, luckily. They hadn't even noticed when their other three dorm mates entered.
~End Flashback~
Lily was snapped out of her memories when someone pushed her.
"You in the way Mudblood move."
"Fuck of Snape, There is plenty of room walk around me."
"Why should I walk around a piece of filth like you?"
Lily felt someone walk up behind her, and heard a deep voice say "Get the Fuck out of here Snape."
"Or What Potter?" Snape spat.
"GO" James said glaring
Snape glared back, but walked away down the corridor.
"Thanks James, but I could of handled him"
"I know you could have. But he was blocking my way to the food cart" James replied with a cocky smile.
"I'm proud of you" Lily said as she hit him playfully
"What? Why?" Asked a confused James
"You didn't hex him, or punch his face in" She stated as they continued down the corridor to the food cart.
"Ah. Thanks."
"What can I get you dearies?" They had reached the food cart. James ended up buying almost the whole cart. Seeing Lily laughing at him out of the corner of his eye he turned to her. "Something funny?"
"Are you really going to eat that all?"
"Course not, I took orders before I left, ¾ of this is for Sirius." This only succeeded in making Lily laugh harder as they walked back towards the compartment. The next couple hours past uneventfully until the train jerked to a stop at Hogsmeade. Ryan glanced out the window.
"Damn, its raining."
"Just run" was Sirius's reply
"I feel bad for the first years" James said thoughtfully
The five hoped of the train and took off towards the carriages. Skidding to a halt before one and climbing in. Lily looked out the window gasped shook her had and looked again, eyes wide.
"What is it Lils?" Ryan asked leaning over to look where lily was staring in front of one of the other carriages.
"What.? Do you see.?" Lily answered waving her had weakly at where she was staring.
"See what Lils? You're staring at empty space."
"What are you two talking about?" Sirius asked.
"Lily is staring at something but I don't know what" Ryan answered
"Sirius leaned over James, who was sitting across from lily, and looked out the window, following the girl's line of vision. Shrugged and started talking to Peter about some new product from Zonko's. James who had been gazing absentmindedly out the window, looked at Lily, and followed her gaze, before looking back at her.
"Who was it then?" he asked calmly, but with a hint of sadness in his voice. Lily looked at him curiously, "Who was who?"
"You can see the thestrals; you can only see them after you see someone die. Who did you see die?"
~ THIS IS WHERE I STOPED BEFORE!~
Lily gasped, looked back out the window, then back at James, then at Ryan whose eyes were wide, then to Sirius and peter who were still talking about whatever it was, then back at James. She sighed, "Second week of break, Remus and I were just walking around and we came across this small deli, we were hungry so we decided to eat. We were sitting outside just chatting when this little boy only about five walking down the street with his mother and sisters, there were three of them, one older, two younger, bouncing a ball, dropped the ball and ran out into the street." She had begun to cry. "His mother tried to keep him back, both Remus and I noticed her shouts and started towards the boy, but we were to late, a car hit him, he was killed instantly. We found out later the driver was drunk." Lily was sobbing by this point, Ryan had pulled her into a hug and James was looking at her sadly. Sirius and Peter were looking at the three questioningly.
"What happened?" Sirius whispered to James. James just shook his head and mouthed 'later'.
Looking at her cry James realized he wanted nothing more than to never see her cry again. He crossed to the other side of the carriage, where Ryan and lily were hugging in the middle of the seat, lily still crying softly, sat on the side Ryan wasn't one, and joined the hug. She turned towards him and put her arms around his neck, crying into his shoulder. By the time they reached the entrench hall, lily had calmed down, her eyes showed tell-tale signed of crying, being red and poofy, But Sirius was trying his damnedest to get her to laugh, and their was a smile on her face, as he tried to do cartwheels threw the entrance hall, with a pom-pom hat on, singing Mary had a Little Lamb. By the end of the feast she was back to normal, laughing so hard, she and Ryan had to lean on one another for support, at the Maurders beginning of the year prank. (putting all the Slitherin's into pink clothing and making them sing I'm blue da-ba de dab a die)
i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i! i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
Woo! I think that was my longest chapter! Aren't you proud! Ok.. I put lily and Ryan in Ravenclaw because I always see lily as a Ravenclaw kind of person. I think she's really brave and adventurous, but I also see her as really smart and witty. So DON'T SHOOT ME if you think of her as a Gryffindor. I mean.. it could swing either way. but. in here she's going to be a Ravenclaw.
I added the second part because if it was a new chapter it would have been to short.. I think. anyway.. I hate that song.. im blue.. but its all I could think of.
Anyway... review if you wish. I like reading them Ta!
