They paraded into the compartment and sat across from Lily, at least Remus
and Sirius did, and James sat next to her. There was an awkward silence for
a moment before Remus asked, "Are you in Gryffindor? What year ARE you in?"
"Yes, I am in Gryffindor and I'm in 7th year, same as you."
"But we've never seen you before? And we know all the girls in 7th year."
Lily smiled at him briefly before turning her attention back to her book. The trio stared at her for a while before completely forgetting her existence and talking about their latest prank they were going to pull on Snape and Malfoy. Something about charming their chairs to say what underwear they were wearing. They were also talking about the fact that since James was Head Boy, he wouldn't be able to get anymore detentions, meaning that Sirius would win the competition for who would win the most detentions and break the detention record.
This brought Lily back to earth; she was probably going to stay in the Head dorms, with James Potter. With James Potter, her mind reeled from that revelation; she would have to share her dorm with one of the most popular boys in Hogwarts, but then, she thought, he'd probably spend most of his time doing something like playing pranks or snogging a girl or something.so she didn't think about it any longer.
If you are curious, Lily did know about their secrets. This was as during fifth year, she succeeded becoming an animagus herself and she saw them after one of their raids, turning back into humans. The fact of the matter was that she knew most of the secrets in Hogwarts due to the fact that she was never noticed by anyone. Even some of the teachers tend to forget who said the correct answer and pass by here when she raises her hand.
"I know what charm to use on Snape and Malfoy, fernunculas, its perfect! I mean having boils on their faces? Perfect!" Sirius grinned.
"Its fernunculus actually." Lily said absent mindedly.
Of course, Sirius corrected himself and forgot who said all that. The rest of the Marauders started suggesting all sorts of strange things. James then took a look out of the window and saw Lily's face. He took a double take, "I say, weren't you the girl in Diagon Alley?"
Startled, Lily looked at him strangely, "Yes, why?"
"Well, why did you run away anyway?"
"Hard day."
"Oh, ok." James trailed off, before continuing on about how they should prank Severus Snape.
Lily looked out at the scenery outside. It was getting dark soon and they should be reaching Hogwarts soon as well. Just as well, at least at Hogwarts, no one really bothered her much. Argus Flitch (AN: I'm not really sure about the spelling, can someone tell me if I'm wrong?) and Mrs. Norris both acted like the rest of the world and ignored her, same with the ghosts.
As she predicted, minutes later, the train pulled into Hogwarts and disembarked the train. As she was a prefect, she was one of the first people to reach Hogwarts. She went to the end of the Gryffindor table. The students filed in slowly, walking in talking and laughing, for many, it was the end of their days in Hogwarts and most intended to make the most of it.
When all the students were seated, the sorting hat was brought it and the 1st years escorted in by Professor McGonagall, the sorting hat broke into song:
"You may not think I'm pretty, But don't judge on what you see, I'll eat myself if you can find, A smarter hat than me. You can keep your bowlers black, Your top hats sleek and tall, For I'm the Hogwarts sorting hat And I can cap them all. There's nothing hidden in your head, The sorting hat can't see, So try me on and I'll tell you Where you ought to be. You might belong in Gryffindor Where dwell the brave at heart Their daring, nerve and chivalry set the Gryffindor's apart; You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they're just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuff's true and unafraid of toil; Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, If you've a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, Always find their kind; Or perhaps in Slytherin You'll make your real friends, Those cunning folk use any means To achieve their ends. So put me on! Don't be afraid! And don't get in a flap. Your in safe hands (thought I have none) For I'm a thinking cap!
Lily smiled to herself; the sorting cap almost didn't know where to put her. It actually almost put her in Slytherin. The first years were being sorted as usual, from Ai, Hayate in Gryffindor to Zenth, Spike in Slytherin. She shook her head as Professor Dumbledore sang the school song and said his normal nonsensical speech before beginning the feast.
