(A/N: Here we go again; I do not own Harry Potter, Lily, James & etc. JKRowling does! Happy Reading! ((P.S. Thanks for reviewing!))

CHAPTER TWO: Sticky Butt Happy 'Cause We're There!

A few minutes seeped by of silence after that little conversation, and Lily, after choosing her words, stood up.

"James, scooch over, I need to speak with your lovely friend, Sirius, was it?" she smiled sweetly. James, laughing at Sirius's look, stood up and sat on the other seat, taking Peter's place.

Lily sat down, and heard Sirius gulp.

"Sirius—" she began.

"I know that look—DON'T KILL ME!" screamed Sirius. Lily paused, staring awkwardly at him. A smile broke out, and Sirius threw his head back, laughing. The others (with an exception of Lily and Peter ((whom has yet to return))) laughed as well.

Lily smacked Sirius. Laughter stopped abruptly.

"Good," she said. "Now, listen to me; all of you. One more—" Lily stopped, and didn't know what was happening. Everyone was laughing except James, who as glaring at something above her head. Lily looked up and saw a floating sign that read; LILY & JAMES: TOGETHER FOREVER.

Sirius had conjured the sign.

"I DO NOT LIKE HER!" shouted James, at the same time as Lily shouted, "YOU THINK THAT WAS FUNNY?"

The laughing just got harder.

"Get him!" shouted James. He lunged at Sirius, and tackled him off the seat. Lily whipped out her wand, and pointed it at his chair. Remus laughed, not wanting to participate in the fight.

Once the spell was cast, James pushed an insanely laughing Sirius Black into the chair.

"Never say that, unless I do like someone," said James darkly.

"Never do that, period. Understood?" said Lily more firmly than James. Her voice, so cold and harsh, stopped all laughter. Remus ended his in a cough. Sirius slowly nodded. Satisfied, Lily sat down with a soft thunk on her chair.

"Exploding Snap, anyone?" James offered awkwardly, pulling out a deck of cards.

"Nah," said Remus.

"Later," said Sirius.

"What is Exploding Sna—"

"Ahem?" everyone turned at the sound of the rude interruption. A stern looking woman stood, her fingers drumming darkly on the trolley's handle. "Anything to eat, you ungrateful little worms?"

"SURE!" shouted the boys. Everyone stood up—except Sirius.

"What's wrong, Sirius?" said Lily with a smirk. Sirius grunted, time after time trying to hop off his seat. And time after time, he failed. Everyone laughed.

"My—butt—IS STUCK!" shouted Sirius. He glared at James and Lily. "Why—I'LL GET YOU TWO FOR THIS!"

"Payback," said Lily sweetly.

--

The Hogwarts Express screeched to a halt, and an enormous giant led the first years to four rocking boats. Lily noticed she didn't see any of the Marauders, as the boys called themselves.

But as she climbed into one of the boats, and sailed on a lake, the view of a great castle wiped away all other thoughts.

"This must be Hogwarts," Lily breathed.
