Lily and James, Best Years of Their Lives.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of this blah blah blah rawr rawr rawr.
A/N: So everyone. Thank you so much for the reviews. They were awesome. I'm glad you guys like the story. Don't worry --------- Jamsie will appear in this chapter (YAY! I hear you cry. : P) This is the co-written chapter. My mate Leia is helping me with this one. No wait she'll want full credit.
Mel: Leia I was only kidding! Put the chair down! PLEASE! Good girl. Now you go sit in the corner again. That's a girl.
Right anyway. Now that we have her out of the wthe 1st of September Lily awoke very early. She was full of excitement. She jumped out of bed and pulled on her 'muggle' clothes. She had been calling everyone a muggle since she had got back home from Diagon Alley. She was halfway down the stairs and heard her mum and dad arguing.
'I WILL NOT HAVE HER AT THAT SCHOOL! REMEMBER JOSEPH GARDENER HE WENT THERE AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. BEEN DEAD 10 YEARS NOW!' Shouted Mike, her father.
'But she's been looking forward to this all summer Mike. Just because your friend died doesn't mean she will.' Sophie retorted.
'I JUST WANT MY LITTLE FLOWER TO BE SAFE.'
'SHE'S NOT LITTLE, SHE'S 10 YEARS OLD FOR GODS SAKE!'
Mike and Sophie turned to the door to see Lily standing there with her mouth wide open.
'Does someone mind telling me what's going on?' Lily asked.
'Um nothing dear.'
%ike and Sophie turned to the door to see Lily standing there with her mouth wide open.
'Does someone mind telling me what's going on?' Lily asked.
'Um nothing dear.'
'MUM TELL ME! WHAT DO YOU TWO KNOW ABOUT MY WORLD!' She screamed.
'You had better sit down dear. It's a longish story.' Mike said.
Lily sat at the table.
'Spill it.'
'Okay. Well. A long time ago in a land far, far away. There was a really bad sorcerer named-' Mike started.
'DAD!' Lily shouted.
'No really it's true.' Mike said. 'Anyway just as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted.' He stared pointedly at Lily. 'Anyhoo. There was a sorcerer named Grindelwald. He had been gaining power and followers for a few years and was finally the top man in the box. Well my friend was a wizard, and a thumping good one at that, and he went to fight Grindelwald after he left school, your school in fact, anyway, he got killed in the first battle and that was the last I had ever seen of him.'
'Obviously.' Lily mumbled.
'Hey that was a true story. It hurt me when he died.'
'So if he was a wizard how did you know him?' Lily asked.
'We went to the same Primary School. We were the best of friends we told each other every thing. So when he got his letter he told me, I mean he had to tell me other wise I probably would have wondered why he wasn't at my high school he did promise you know...'
But Lily wasn't listening to him rambling on about broken promises and old friends, she was thinking about when she should interrupt him to tell him that she had to get to Kings Cross Station before 11:00am, as it was now 9:30.
'Dad, I have to get to Kings Cross by 11:00 to get the school train' Lily interrupted at last. Mike looked at her.
'Oh sorry I guess you can go to this school but only if you write to us weekly.' Mike said.
'Yes I promise I will write thank you!' with that Lily and Sophie when upstairs to get Lily's Hogwarts trunk.
When they got to Kings Cross her parents said goodbye while they cried and they made her promise to write.
'Where is platform 9 and ¾ I can't see it look there's platform 10 and there's platform 9.' Lily said to herself while she looked around for a station guard. She saw a man dressed in a black uniform. Lily walked towards him.
'Excuse me could you please tell me how to get to platform 9 and ¾?' Lily asked him.
'9 and 3/4 's. Fink you're being funny do ya?' 'No it says 9 and ¾ s on my ticket!' said Lily.
'Look missy there's platform 9 and there's platform 10 there's no 9 and ¾ s now unless you have any fink important to tell me push off and stop wasting me time!' the guard walked away angrily Lily stared after him miserably.
'Muggles' she said under her breath.
'Lets annoy the muggles one last. Come on. It'll be fun.' A boy whined. Lily turned and saw a group of three boys. The one who had spoke had brown hair that fell in front of his eyes.
'Sirius. What have Remus and I told you before. You have to calm down. No more chocolate in the morning for you.' A boy with messy black hair said.
'James is right Sirius. Now come on and lets get on the train.' Remus said pushing a hand through his sandy blonde hair.
Lily followed them. The boy called Sirius and the boy called Remus walked towards the divider next to platforms nine and ten. They casually leaned against it. Lily stared at them and then gasped as they disappeared. James had heard someone gasp and turned around.
'Uh oh.' He mumbled. He walked over to Lily. 'Hi I'm James Potter. You're having a dream.' He said all this as he circled around her swooshing his hands over her.
'Um. Okay. If you say so. I'm sure the muggles think that this is performance art. It is pretty funny. Do you mind stopping it now though because we only have 10 minutes until the Hogwarts train leaves.' Lily told him.
James stared at her then began to grin. 'Sorry about that mate. You a first year?'
'Yes. So are you.'
'Hey how did you know!'
'Huh. Lucky guess. Oh and guess what' she called as she began to run at the barrier. 'You're having a dream!'
James laughed and chased after her. Lily ran through the barrier and was faced with a scarlet train. It was very long and had children all around the outsides. She stopped. James came crashing in to the back of her.
'Oh sorry' he said 'what did you say your name was?' he asked.
'I didn't its Lily Evans.' She said rubbing her legs where they had crashed.
'Oh that's a nice-' he started but then Sirius and Remus walked up behind James who turned around quick.
'We haven't got on the train yet and you've already got your self a girl! Amazing' said Sirius playfully shoving James.
'Sirius!' James hissed.
'My name is Sirius Black and this is Remus Lupin and we see you've all ready met James he's a trouble maker you know! Ouch' James had stomped on Sirius's foot as hard as he could.
Lily giggled. She could see these guys were going to be a bundle of laughs.
'Do you want to sit with us on the train?' James asked. 'You don't have to though 'cos im sure that a pretty girl like you already has a lot of friends.'
Lily giggled again. 'Sure I would love to.'
They were the funniest people Lily had ever met they were real practical jokes. About half way there Lily saw a small boy out side the compartment she had seen him about twenty minuets before as well she pointed him out to James who opened the compartment door and said
'What do you want?'
'C...c...can I sit in here with you guys.... please?' asked the boy. He had brown hair and Lily thought he looked a lot like a mouse because he had a pointed nose and little beady eyes.
'Uh sure what ever' James replied shrugging. The boy walked in to the compartment.
'Well' said Sirius 'if your going to sit with us we might as well tell you our names I'm Sirius-'
'Yeah and I'm James' James cut in Sirius sighed.
'This is Remus and Lily and you are?' Sirius asked.
'M... my name I...is Peter Pettigrew.' Said the weird boy.
There was an awkward silence Lily didn't like Peter much. She looked at James who smiled back at her.
'wel-' Sirius started breaking the silence. Halfway through his sentene ha had decided not to talk after all.
About an hour had pasted James was sitting next to Lily showing her a book about the Quidditch team the Wimbledon Wasps. Lily could feel her eyes drooping she dropped her head on to James' shoulder and fell asleep. Sirius did thumbs up and winked at James then whispered.
'Your in mate!' James nodded and smiled watching Remus laughing silently opposite him.
'She's not the only one whose dropped off' said Remus pointing at Peter.
A/N: Good? Please don't say no. Leia worked so hard on this. Lol. She did. Honest. Well next chapter will be about the sorting and some stuff that I haven't got round to thinking of. : P. Well thanks for reading and please review.
Luv Mel and Leia.
