Chapter 5
After another hour the girls had run out of things to do.
"Did you ask Dumbledore why we couldn't have flown? You know by plane. I mean it is practically on the other side of the country." Rachel asked.
"Yes actually I did."
"And?"
"He mentioned something about fear of heights and flying hippos." Lily responded with a confused look on her face.
"Maybe it's time Dumbledore gave up teaching. I think it's damaging his health!" Clarrisa said worriedly.
"Hum." The other girls replied simultaneously.
"So what do you want to do now?" Lily enquired.
"I don." Began Clarrisa.
"Hello pretty ladies!" Came the voice of the one and only Sirius Black. He was standing in the doorway with the rest of the occupants of the train behind him. Everyone crowded in and all ten of them sat down.
"I know we can play truth or dare!" Cried out Jackie.
"Fine with me!" Said Josh with a sly grin.
"I don." Rachel began being interrupted for the second time.
"Great we're all playing." Vanessa said happily eyeing James.
"Ok me first." Said Jackie.
"Clarrisa! Truth or dare?"
"Err. Dare."
"Yes! I dare you to run down the train with just your underwear on."
"Fine." A very unhappy Clarrisa stripped of her robes down to her under wear.
"Nice knickers Holmes." Laughed Sirius, looking at her pink knickers with hearts on and matching bra.
"Shut up!" Clarrisa yelled at him as she started off down the train.
She appeared again in a few minutes looking very embarrassed.
"What happened?" Asked Rachel as Clarrisa began to dress.
"I ran into Professor McGonagall."
The whole carriage laughed.
"It wasn't funny! Now she thinks I'm strange!" Said Clarrisa.
"Ummm no offence Riz but she thought that before." Lily said sympathetically.
"Oh. Never mind then. Let's get on. Sirius. Truth or dare?"
"I'm not chicken! Dare!"
"Go up to Professor Tronum and say that he's your hero and that when you grow up you want to be just like him!"
"Damn." Growled Sirius but went of anyway.
"A minute later he came running and shouted "Lock the door quick!"
The others looked at him strangely.
"Are you feeling all right mate?" Asked James putting his hand on Sirius' forehead.
"No I'm not!" Sirius said while swotting James' hand away. "I did the dare and then Tronum looked at me really weird like. Before I knew it he had thrown himself at me and was saying how long he had waited to hear me say that. I am scarred for life."
Everyone looked at the door as though scared that Professor Tronum would bust through at any minute.
"Right now it's my turn. Lily truth or dare?"
Lily seemed to be pondering the question. "Dare." She said finally.
"Fine I dare you to kiss James." (A.N. Like you didn't see that one coming)
Lily and James looked at each other. Slowly they leaned forwards and their lips touched. Lily felt as though her lips were on fire. The rest of the room melted away and there was only the two of them. She felt James' tongue gently brush her closed lips and
*Cough*
James and Lily broke apart to see that they were the centre of attention.
Sirius grinned madly.
After the kiss Lily and James did everything to avoid looking at each other. About twenty minutes later the came ended and every one left.
As the boys were walking down the corridor Sirius began to sing.
"Lily and James sitting in a tree"
"Sirius shut up." Said James.
"H. U. M." Sirius carried on ignoring James' request.
"I'll whack you!"
Sirius carried on "First comes."
"I'm warning you!"
"Then comes-OW!!!"
"He did warn you." Said Remus to Sirius who had just got punched in the eye.
"God! James there was no need for physical violence!" Sirius yelled after James.

In the girls carriage a not too different conversation was going on.
"So what was it like?"
"Did you like it?" Both Clarrisa and Rachel asked at the same time.
"I don't want to talk about it!" Lily responded.
"Somebody's got a cruuush!" Sang Rachel in Lily's ear.
*I will never hear the end of this* Thought Lily trying to block out Rachel's voice.

No more than an hour later the train had pulled up to the station.
All of the passengers got out and stood looking around the platform. Well all except Lily who was walking towards the exit. She glanced over her shoulder and realised that no one was following her.
"Are you coming?" Lily asked impatiently.
The rest of the teenagers grabbed their belongings and started off after Lily. Five minutes later they were all in the open air looking around them.
A man in a black suit walked towards them.
"Hello. Are you the pupils from Hogwarts?" The man demanded.
"Ummm. Yes." Said James a few seconds later.
"Good! This way please."
The ten students followed the tight lipped man to a car park a minutes walk away from the station. In the parking lot were three cars.
"Oh my god! Roberto! You brought my car." Lily shouted looking like she was about to cry with happiness.
She quickly ran, well sort of waddled due to the heavy trunk she was lugging behind her, to the car and promptly dropped her luggage. She lent forward on the bonnet of the black open toped convertible and began to mutter.
"Oh my baby sssshhhh mummy will never leave you again there there. Don't worry." Whispered Lily to the car but everyone heard her.
Rachel put two fingers to the bridge of her nose and began to shake her head.
"Well there goes her reputation." Mumbled Clarrisa to herself.
The others watched in shock as lily petted her car.
"Right sane one you've chosen James." Said Sirius in amusement.
Lily, after the car seemed to have accepted her apology carefully placed her trunk in the boot and climbed in.
"Clarrisa! Rachel are you coming?" Lily shouted anxious to get the motor started.
Rachel and Clarrisa dragged their trunks to the car and put them in and climbed in after.
"Will the rest of you please disperse yourselves equally between the other two cars please" said the man the now knew as Roberto.
