((Alright. I didn't make most of these characters. JK Rowling did. I did make Theia, though. And any other characters not from the books. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW! Thanks!))

"Lily! Slow down!" Theia Talus called after her friend.

"I want to see my Head Girl compartment!" Lily Evans said eagerly, dragging Theia by the arm. She stopped as she spotted the compartment at the back of the train, with HEAD BOY HEAD GIRL shining at her in gold letters. And standing beside the door, was Remus Lupin.

"Good to see you again, Evans." Moony greeted. He was looking pale, but then again, he usually did.

"Hey, Remus. Don't tell me one of your friends is in there....?" Lily asked. Out of Remus, Peter, James and Sirius, Remus was the only one she could stand. He, too, loved school and books, and didn't go out of his way to cause trouble.

"I'm afraid so. James has been made Head Boy this year. Dumbledore's always loved him. And he's insisted that we join him in his room. Peter isn't feeling too well, mind you. So he isn't. But the rest of us are in there."

"BUT ITS MINE TOO!" Lily protested.

"I never said you weren't welcome." Remus answered, looking startled.

"Fine. Theia. Come on." Lily said, barging in. Theia followed her angered friend with an apologetic look at Lupin.

Lily stopped. Very suddenly, as she entered the room. Theia crashed into her, and Lily was knocked into the wall, Theia tumbling after her.

"Evans! Are you alright?" James called. It was his fault that she had stopped after dragging Theia, and Theia crashed into her. He had no shirt on, and was standing in his boxers. Sirius was the same. James reached over to help Lily up, but she brushed away his hand. Both girls stood up. Lily's fiery red hair seemed to crackle in rage, and her green eyes narrowed.

"How dare you! This is my compartment, too! I'm not about to share it with two naked men!"

"Calm down, Evans. That's why we had the door closed. We need to get into our robes."

Both Theia and Sirius were silent. Sirius had gotten into his robes, and was now grinning casually at Theia. Theia caught his eye and smiled, tossing her long chestnut brown hair.

"Fine." Lily said calming down, "put on your robes, because we're staying." she said.

James threw on his long black Hogwarts robes, and peered out the door.

"Moony! You let them in while we were changing." James accused playfully.

"I wasn't aware you had told me you would be."

"You were too busy reading that werewolf story to hear your friends?" Sirius kidded.

"Yes. The author of this book needs to be re-informed of some werewolf traits. Many of these facts are wrong." grinned Remus.

"Are all three of you staying here?" Theia asked, looking directly at Sirius.

"Yup." Sirius replied.

"Come in already, Moony, so we can shut the door." James said, closing the door behind Remus.

There was a moment of silence. Remus sat down on one of the crimson couches, his nose buried in the book.

Both Sirius and Theia made to sit next to him, but both stopped awkwardly, and gestured that the other sit first. Lily beat them both, and plopped down next to Remus. She had no intention of sitting next to Sirius, or especially James. And she had a right to. They were in their Seventh year, and James had asked her out all of their sixth year, fifth year, and even in their fourth year! But to her amazement, James ran his hands casually through his hair, and sat down on the other couch. Sirius and Theia sat down beside him. The silence grew awkward. Remus seemed oblivious to it, and it was Lily who broke it. She turned to Remus.

"So you're a Prefect again?" she asked.

"Yes." Remus said, his eyes snapping back to Lily.

"Ah. I hope you're taking Arithmancy again. We could study together, then."

James' mouth opened in shock. Lily wanted to hang out with Moony, but disliked him. And yet they were friends! But a nagging vocie in his head reminded him that he was not at all like Moony, no matter how close they were. Sirius, on the other hand, was more like him. Both had girls swooning over them since their first year at Hogwarts. Sirius had a trademark smile that seemed to attract girls like a moth to a flame. And James, too, had stunning good looks, and was outstanding at Quidditch. Plus, all the girls they had ever been with loved their sense of mischief.

Amused, James noted that Theia was flirting with Sirius. And suddenly, it hit him. He hadn't thought about another girl since last year. All he thought about was Lily, when he could have any girl in the school. What had changed? He and Sirius were famous for one night stands with more than half the female population...and Sirius seemed ready to keep that reputation this year. But James was not. The only girl he wanted was the girl it seemed he could not have. Lily Evans. Moony's response jerked him out of his thoughts.

"Yes. Prongs will also be in Arithmancy." Remus said. James felt a wave of gratitude towards Remus.

"Oh." Lily said in a monotone, her gaze turning to James. Her brilliant green eyes rested their only a moment before flickering towards Theia and Sirius. "Oh." she repeated again, sounding disgusted.

James and Remus both turned towards Sirius and Theia, to find them kissing, and moaning softly. Sirius pushed himself on top of Theia, and James found himself forced to the corner of the couch. He sighed, and rose off of it, to join Lily and Remus. Lily did not look pleased at this, but for a change, said nothing.

"I'm sorry...Theia's not usually like this." she told the two.

"Ah. Sirius is." James answered.

"I know." Lily stated. James noticed how close her was to her. The closest he'd ever been without Lily getting pissy. But then again, he usually deserved it. Too many times he had pulled pranks on her. But he wouldn't anymore.

"Listen, Evans..." he began. But he stopped, when he felt his manhood start to harden. Oh no. Please don't let Lily notice... he thought desperately, gazing down at the bulge that was appearing in his robes.

"What?" Lily asked, as he trailed off.

"I'm sorry about the way I acted...all of last year. And the years before that. I've changed. And I'm sorry."

Lily said nothing, but James heard a light snort. Turning slightly away, so he wouldn't see her perfect face...he pale skin highlighted by her curly red hair. So he couldn't gaze at her emerald eyes, on notice the ripples in her robes from her perfect thighs. Instead, he forced himself to think of Snivellus, and the pains in between his legs lessened, and he shuddered in disgust.

This year he had promised himself not to tease Snivellus as much, too. He found it difficult to think about being nice, but decided he simply would avoid the greasy teen.

Another long silence passed, broken only by the grunting of Theia, as Sirius fondled her. She was moaning, he was panting, and as Theia sat, stradling him, he began to unbutton her robes.

"Honestly, Padfoot. We're still here. Keep your clothes on!" James groaned.

"Huh....oh...yeah..." Sirius said, suddenly remembering. He slid out from under Theia looking sheepish. Theia fixed her clothing, and they sat quietly for the rest of the trip.

Lily was startled. The James Potter she knew would have been laughing at Sirius, saying he was going to have a turn. Was James really new and improved? She didn't have time to consider it more, because the train came to a stop.

"We're here." stated Remus.

"Accio luggage!" James said, and his stuff flew into his hand.

"Honestly, James. You could have just picked it up." Lily said. For once, James didn't argue. Silently, he left the compartment. Lily turned to Remus, who gave a shurg, and followed with his stuff. Sirius, too, left, after a quick kiss to Theia.

"All set, Lily?" Theia asked.

"Yeah...I think so. Where's Misty?" Lily wondered. As if on cue, a white cat meowed, and slunk out from under the coach. She had a few copper spots, and a couple of silver ones on her back. The top of her head was a swirling mass of brown, copper and silver, while there was a brown smudge on the side of her nose. She purred at the sight of Lily, and leapt into her arms.

"Hey, kitty." Lily said, stroking Misty's soft fur.

"Alright. Let's go." Theia said, her own cat, Skye, was solid white with long fur tagged along at her heels.

The two swept out of the train, all set for their final year at Hogwarts.
