James had watched, trying to hold back his grin, but didn't succeed at the end. Lily shot a glance at him, and huffed loudly. Once she had all of her stuff on her trolley, she brushed past the pair and walked through the barrier. Once on the otherside, a man took all of her luggage and she glanced around for friends. Soon, she spotted Remus Lupin and walked over quickly. "Hello Remus, how was your summer?"
"Boring, as usual. I never got around to visiting anyone." He replied. She nodded, agreeing. "I only got to visit family, which isn't that enjoyable now that they know I'm a witch." "Well, they should be used to it, this is your seventh year!" "I know, but what can you expect? Anyway, I'm going to head onto the train, we leave in 3 minutes." "OK, I'll talk to you later, I'm waiting for Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs"
With that, Lily stepped onto the train, and walked to an empty compartment. Since she was Head Girl, she didn't have to sit with the Prefect's any longer. She slid the door shut quietly, and sat beside the window, watching everyone outside. Once a bell sounded that the train was leaving, she heard plenty giggles and chatting throughout the train. Suddenly, the compartment door flew open.
"Ah, hello Evans. Don't mind if we sit down, do you?" Before she could answer, Padfoot, Prongs, Moony and Wormtail were surrounding her. "Sure, why not." She said, inspite of herself. "How was your summer, Lily?" Peter Pettigrew asked timidly. He was always quiet and kind of shy. "It was-" Befor she could answer, she was cut off. "How many times do I have to tell you Wormtail, it's Red or Evans! Not Lily!" Sirius said, rolling his eyes. "W-well sorry Sirius. Well, how was it Evans?" He asked.
Lily glared at Sirius, wishing he would melt through the floor. She pulled her bookbag closer to her, even though she was sitting beside Remus. She pulled out a book, and opened it on her lap. "It was fine." She mumbled.
"Only fine?" James asked, winking at Sirius. They planned to not let her stop talking. "Yes, only fine" She replied, and continued reading. "What did you do?" "Visited." "Any boyfriends?" "Of course not." "Why not?" "Because I don't want one." "There goes your hope out the window, Jamesie!" Sirius laughed, and James slugged him in the shoulder.
Lily shook her head, and pulled the book up to her nose. Remus poked around in her bag, checking out the books. He pulled one out about Advanced Charms, and flipped through it. "Pretty advanced..." he mumbled. Lily smiled to herself, and nodded silently. The train began to slowly move, and soon there was a loud knock on the door. All of the 7th Years looked up.
As the door slid open, a man with bright orange hair strode in. "Good day, my fellow 7th years!" Arthur Weasley said. He was always happy, and many of the students got along with him.
"Good day, Arthur," Everyone responded, one by one. The students smiled back at him.
"I was wondering if I could sit in here. I was sitting with Lucious and Severous, but I got the feeling they didn't want me there!" He said, obviously confused.
"Well, who would have guessed!" Sirius said, trying to to grin. The two Slytherin's didn't get along with any house, especially Gryffindors. "Maybe they're just having a bad day."
"Lucious? Snivy? Bad day? NEVER!" James roared with laughter. He doubled over, almost falling onto the compartment floor. Obviously, the humor had been too much to bear.
Arthur looked around, looking helpless. He shrugged and sat beside Peter. Soon, the two were engaged in conversation about the classes they were going to be taking this year. Lily soon joined into the conversation, eagar to talk about school. James watched Lily, and Sirius laughed at James for watching Lily. Remus just looked at the moon and star filled rug.
***** Lily watched the Great Hall fill up with students. She sat near the end of the table, chatting with a few girlfriends. She was bored, and wanted the ceremony to start. Just as the thought crossed her mind, the First Years walked in. As the girls and boys were sorted, she clapped respectively, while James and Sirius made rude comments.
"Kinda dumpy, that one is!"
"Slytherin? Looks too smart for Sly..." "Gryffindor? They should make a house called UGLY just for him!"
Finally, the food came. To Lily's relief, the boys were too busy shoving their mouths to talk. The food was delicious as usual, and she ate until she could eat no more. Dumbledore stood after the plates had been cleared.
"That's a first!" Lily's friend Emily remarked.
Dumbledore glanced around the Great Hall. "The ending of a wonderful feast, and the beginning of a new school year. As usual, the Forbiddan Forest is, ironically, forbidden, as is the 3rd floor corridor. For you pranksters," he looked to the Gryffindor table, where the Mauraders beamed with pride, "should check the list on Mr. Filch's door to see what is banned. Now, Prefects please escort your houses back to the dormitories." With that, he sat back down on his chair, watching his students hustle to their common rooms.
