Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
Authors Note: Dearc Allise, sorry about the confusion of the last chapter. If I have time at the end of this period, I'll fix it. And everyone was glaring at Snape and yelling at Snape, not at James. Sorry about that!!

Across the Lake
Lily didn't say a word to James for the rest of the train ride. When James got up to patrol the hallways, they passed in the hall and she didn't even look at him. When the train had finally slowed and the rain had ceased, Lily dashed off. She told Marissa that she was going to monitor the new prefects.
Everyone else took their time getting off the train. Remus and Selina were still immersed in discussion over the Werewolf book, and they didn't notice anything else. Sirius and Amanda were waking up from a nap and Marissa was following Peter like an annoying puppy that didn't have a home.
When everyone had lumbered off the Hogwarts Express, something was wrong. They were craning their necks to try and get a glimpse at the horseless carriages that usually brought them to school, but the search was futile. Lily was also confused. As Head Girl, she should know what is going on, and she doesn't. Abandoning all pretenses and the younger prefects, she walked over to James and asked "What's going on? Where are the carriages?"
James was just about to say that he had no idea when Hagrids' booming voice reached their ears. "All righ'. Ev'ry one this way. Firs Years! You too!" The students crowded around Hagrid and he lowered his voice. "All righ'. The thes'rals are on important business fer Dumbledore righ' now, so you'll be taking the boats. 'Cept for firs' years, only two in a boat! Firs' years, you take four in a boat."
The students were grumbling. The horseless carriage was a lot more comfortable than a boat. Most of the students climbed awkwardly into boats, and the boats took off to the middle of the lake to wait for everyone else and empty boats came to take more students.
Lily was looking around for her friends. She spotted Selina, but Selina was already getting into a boat with Remus. Lily turned and slammed into Marissa. She stumbled back, but when Lily saw who it was she said "Good. I'm glad I found you. I thought I was going to get stuck with Potter."
Marissa looked at her apologetically and said "Oh, Lil. I'm sorry. Peter and I are going together. He made me promise." With that, she grabbed Peter's reluctant hand and dragged him over to an empty boat. Lily looked around helplessly, trying to find Amanda. She spotted her indeed. Amanda and Sirius were sitting in a boat together, in the middle of the lake, waiting for everyone to get into boats. But, they didn't really mind. They were sitting close and snogging. Lily groaned.
Lily gave up. She looked around for anyone. A second year. A Slytherin. Anyone but James Potter. Anyone who had a space in their boat. She looked around and all she saw was James Potter, with a big grin on his face. He was standing next to the only remaining boat, looking at her pointedly. She crossed over to him and said sternly, "Any funny business Potter. I swear."
James said nothing but climbed into the boat after her, a mischievous grin etched on his face.
