Friends

Before long, it seemed to Lily, desserts appeared and disappeared.

"Ahem," Dumbledore said, getting to his feet again, "Just a few start of term announcements before we all fall into a deep slumber. All pupils should take that the forbidden forest is, well, forbidden. Mr. Flich, the caretaker, hopes to remind you minimal, if any, magic is to be used in the corridors. Quittich trials will be held the second week of the term. Students who wish to play should notify Madame Hooch. Now, the school song before bed. Sing to your favorite tune!"

The words started to appear and singing started:

Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts, Teach us something please, Whether we be old and bald, Or young with scabby knees, Our heads could do with filling, With some interesting stuff, For now they're bare and full of air, Dead flies and bits of fluff, So teach us things worth knowing, Bring back what we've forgot, Just do your best, we'll do the rest, And learn until our brains all rot!

The song was finished at sever different moments, and as each person finished, the applause became louder. Flitwick watched, amused.

"Off to bed now!" Dumbledore announced.

First years followed a fifth year prefect, Justin, to the Gryffindor tower. After walking through hidden corridors and moving staircases, Justin stopped at a portrait of a fat woman in a pink silk dress.

"Password?" She asked.

"Snowy Owl," Justin said. The portrait swung forward and revealed a hole, which the students scrambled through. "Boys, third door to the left, girls, third to the right."

Lily entered her dorm to find a large room decorated in deep reed and gold. There were also six four-poster beds with velvet curtains around them.

"As much as I'd like to get to know you all," Lynn started, "I'm too tired tonight."

Marie agreed, "How about tomorrow, after supper, we have a get to know each other mini-party," she suggested.

"I like it," Rebecca stated. The other girls murmured their approval while choosing their beds.

"Goodnight," Lily called after changing into her pajamas.

"Goodnight," the girls chorused.

The next morning, Lily woke up to Marie's shaking her.

"Lily, they left for breakfast all ready! We need to hurry!" She said, walking to her own robes.

"How do we get to the hall?" Lily asked.

"That's what I'm for," Rebecca said, coming from the bathroom. "Don't worry- I told the others to get, and I know the way."

Marie sighed, relieved. Rebecca led the way out of the common room. Immediately, water was poured all over the three girls, who jumped and looked up.

"Morning Ickle Firsties!" Peeves said, laughing madly.

"Oh!" Lily said, "You must be the poltergeist, Peeves! I've very pleased to meet you!" Lily held out her had to shake his.

Peeves looked shocked and slowly floated backwards. Lily shrugged and started walking again.

"Er, Lily," Marie started, "We're soaked."

"I can fix that," came a voice from behind.

The seventh year girl pointed her wand at the three, who immediately became dry. "I'm Molly Bell, by the way. I've never seem Peeves react that way before. Congratulations, Lily!" Lily grinned. "You should get going. Good luck," Molly said.

Rebecca, Lily, and Marie continued walking to the Great Hall.

"How did you know about Peeves?" Rebecca asked.

"I read about all the ghosts," Lily explained.

When the girls arrived in the Great Hall, they took the seats Marelda, Lynn, and Christine had saved for them.

Lily laughed, looking across the table. "I we weren't the only ones who slept late!"

James and Sirius had just walked in and taken the seats Remus and another boy had saved for them.

"Just in time for the post," Rebecca said, countless owls flew in.

As others were thanking their owls, Lily realized she hadn't seen Purity.

"Where's my owl?" Lily asked.

"I guess you didn't get any mail," Christine shrugged.

"No, I mean where it she?" She pressed.

"Oh. The owlery," Lynn said simply.

"Schedules are here," Marelda announced. "Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dear Arts, and Charms today."

"And Charms is with the Ravenclaws," Remus said in a tone between excited and mischievous.

"What do you have planned?" Lily asked, fully aware of some of Remus's pranks.

"Well, I happen to know a certain Ravenclaw." Remus trailed off.

"Briana!" Lily exclaimed. "We have Charms last though!"

"Wait until then to see her though. I do have something planned- just play along."

"Transfiguration is on e of the most difficult and hazardous forms of magic you will study at Hogwarts. Let it be known that any foolishness will not be tolerated in my class." McGonagall said.

She then did a short demonstration, which made even the most uneager students anxious to learn. After copying several pages of notes, McGonagall handed out matches which were to be turned into needles. Five minutes before class was over, James had successfully turned his match into a needle and turned to give the girls a smug look as McGonagall nodded her head in approval. Lily rolled her eyes and got to work on her own match, only to succeed in pointing her match.

"In Defense Against the Dark Arts this year," Professor Williams started, "you will learn basic parts of the subject, threats which will provoke the use of the subject, as well as about deadly magical creatures." After taking more notes, Professor Williams taught a few hexes for dueling. Remus was the first to achieve in this class.

"Lunch!" A small boy with a high pitched voice exclaimed.

"Who are you- I've seen you all day, but." Lily trailed off.

"Peter Pettigrew," the boy said.

Before long, lunch was over, and Remus was whispering his plan to Lily while walking to charms early.

"Briana!" Remus called a few minutes later in the Charms room. Briana turned her head, grinned widely seeing who it was, and left the group of girls she was with.

"Remus! I'm glad to see you! Hogwarts is great, isn't it?!" Remus nodded occasionally while listening to Briana chatter. "And I've all ready made a lot of friends- too bad we aren't in the same house." Briana paused for a moment.

"Speaking of mew friends," Remus started, "I made one who I think you would really get along with. Her name is Juliet-Rose, but she goes by Juliet."

"I always thought Romeo went with Juliet, but I guess it was Remus," Briana teased.

Remus laughed good-naturedly and said, "For all I know, you're right- we only just met last night. I want you to meet her thought, okay?"

"Sure. So far, any friend of yours is a friend of mine," Briana responded.

"Juliet," Remus said, "I want you to meet my friend Briana."

Lily turned and walked over to her friends. Briana's jaw dropped. "Hello Briana, I'm Juliet." She said very politely with a strong French accent. After Briana remained silent for an uneasy moment, Lily started again, "Are you all right?"

Briana shook herself out of the trance-like state. "I'm sorry," she said, "You just look incredible like one of my best friends, a Muggle."

"Oh," 'Juliet' responded, "Well, I do not think we could have met, you see, I've recently moved from France. However, I hope to be a good friend."

"Of course. Maybe we-" Briana stopped, hearing Flitwick's greeting.

"Good afternoon, class. Please take your seats," He said, causing Lily to say goodbye and to take her seat between Sirius and Marelda.

For the third time that day, first year Gryffindors were taking notes.

"Today," Flitwick said, "You will try to light the end of your wand. The spell you are to use is 'Lumos.' Most of you should get it before the end of the class."

Within five minutes, Lily was the first to perfect the charm. Upon this, Lily turned back to smile at Rebecca and Remus, then change the angle of her face to flash James a look just as smug as the one he gave her earlier that day. From across the isle, Christine and Lynn were keeping from laughing while Marie winked.

"Excellent job, Ms. Evans!" Professor Flitwick exclaimed. "She's managed to light her wand!"

*Evans?* Briana thought to herself. *That's too much of a coincidence.*

"Remus!" Briana exclaimed after class. "What are you trying to pull on me?! Lily, why would you let him do this?!"

Lily didn't move. "Are you taking to me?" She asked, noticing the others were all gone.

"Don't plat act! Why didn't you tell me?" Briana questioned.

"Tell you what?" Lily asked. "My name is Juliet, by the way."

"But you're Lily! The professor even called you Ms. Evans!" Briana insisted.

"You know Cousin Lily?" Juliet asked, shocked.

"You're related! That would explain it!" Briana exclaimed.

"When can I get to know you?" Lily asked Briana.

"How about tomorrow in the library after classes?" Briana suggested. "Sounds good. I'll see you then. Bye Briana." Lily responded.

Remus echoed her, "Bye Briana."

"Bye Remus, bye Juliet," Briana said.

"It's Lily," Lily said.

"Right," Briana said absently, "Bye Lily."
