Chapter 1: The Train Ride

-----

Lily sat in an empty compartment on the Hogwarts Express waiting for her friends. It was the first day of her 7th year. She had been dreading this year because it was the last. She'd always loved Hogwarts, and didn't want to leave. She wanted to spend her whole life there. Though, to tell you the truth, she didn't mind spending her live in any place, as long as it wasn't with her sister, Petunia.

Lily was stunningly beautiful, though she didn't think so herself. She had waist length red hair, and sparkling emerald eyes. She was petite, standing at around 5'5".

The compartment door slammed open and her three best friends appeared in the doorway.

"Hey, Lils!" the tall brunette exclaimed. Samantha had shoulder length hair and dark brown eyes. She was the less hyper friend out of the three Lily had. She took a seat next to Lily.

"Hey guys!" Lily said back to them. She gave all three a big smile.

"We had been looking all over for you," Alex explained. She also had brown hair, though she had blonde highlights in it. It was slightly wavy and was a little longer than shoulder length. She had beautiful blue eyes that any guy could get lost in.

The last one spoke up. "Uh, I told you guys she would be in the back, but did you listen. No. Of course not. Why? Because, as always, Julia is the dumb blonde." Julia had received that label in the fourth year, and... well... deserved it. She was right some of the time but was mostly a ditz. (A/N: sorry to any of you blondes out there, I'm not trying to diss you or anything)

"Julia, you were the one insisting Lily was in the front of the train," Samantha said.

Julia turned red and laughed nervously. "That's what I said... wasn't it?" Samantha rolled her eyes.

"So," Alex said, turning to Lily, "what did you do all summer? Did you get Head Girl?"

"Well-," Lily started before she was cut off by a loud noise down the train.

"What the hell...?" Julia said, turning around to look at what was going on. James Potter was running down the train, followed closely by Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin. Peter Pettigrew was trying to keep up in the back. The Marauders.

They stopped running and slipped into the compartment next to the girls, though they could hear the boys' voices.

"Yes, we got him this time!" they could hear a familiar voice yell. The voice belonged to none other than James Potter, the best looking guy in school. He had jet black hair and pretty hazel eyes. He was 5'9" and had a nice body from playing Quidditch.

"Oh, he's going to be so mad when he gets out of there!" chimed in a second voice. Sirius Black was also an extremely good looking boy. He was around James's height, with black hair also, though his was a bit more tamed.

Peter Pettigrew was a short, chubby boy with light brown hair. The only reason he was friends with them was because they felt guilty about something they did to him in the third year. He spoke next. "We're all going to be in so much trouble. Oh this is going to be so-"

Remus Lupin cut him off. "Aw, Peter, why don't you lighten up a bit? I mean, it's not that big off a deal. All we did was lock him in a compartment." Remus Lupin was quieter and calmer than James and Sirius, but way more daring and fun than Peter. He wasn't as wanted by girls as James and Sirius were, but he was defiantly pleasing to the eye. He had shoulder length brown hair that was always up in a low ponytail with some loose in the front.

"Lock who is a compartment?" came a voice from the now opened door. Remus, Sirius, and James stopped laughing and looked over to see who said that. It was Lily.

James immediately ran his fingers through his hair and grinned at her. "Severus Snape, of course!" Lily had a serious expression on her face.

"It was bloody brilliant!" Sirius exclaimed and Remus nudged him to shut up.

"What compartment?" Lily asked.

"Aw, Lils, you're not gonna go save him now, are you?" James asked, disappointed.

"What compartment?" Lily repeated, ignoring James's question.

"5 compartments down," he muttered and she left without saying anything else to him. She walked to the compartment. Snape was banging on the door.

"Someone help me!" came the muffled voice of the Slytherin. Lily unlocked the door with her wand and Snape ran right past her without a 'thank you' of any sort. Not that she expected it. It wasn't that she liked saving Slytherins from James's pranks. She just loved to do what James didn't want her too. She walked back to her friends who looked at her with disbelief.

"Why did you just help Snape?" Alex asked Lily. She choose not to answer.

"I need to go to the Head compartment. Later," she said, walking out. She thought that the Head Boy was going to be the Ravenclaw Sal Johnson or someone like that. But boy, was she in for a surprise. She walked into the compartment and screamed.

"Potter?!" she gasped in surprise. "What are you doing here?" Her surprised expression turned to anger.

"Isn't it obvious?" he snapped, pissed off that she was mad at him.

She snorted. "You didn't get Head Boy, did you?"

His mood changed instantly. "Uh huh!" he grinned.

She rolled her eyes as Professor O'Connell stepped into the compartment.

"Sit down, sit down..." she told Lily, practically pushing her into a chair. She explained the rules of being the Heads of the school.

"There will be a separate room for the two of you, though you are allowed to remain in your current dormitories if you prefer," she explained. The two off them nodded and were dismissed from the meeting.

"So this should be fun!" James said, putting his arm around her. She shook it off and walked faster than him, back to her compartment. She sat down and starred out the window the rest of the ride, thinking about how much she hated James potter.
