The crazy Metamorphmagus girl wandered the Hogwarts Express, still in her Muggle clothing. She was obviously searching for someone. She poked her head into every compartment, until she got to the last one. Since it was obvious he'd be in that one, she quickly changed her appearance: black shoulder-length hair with green highlights, and eyes the same color. Then she took a deep breath and entered the compartment.

James Potter, Peter Pettigrew, Remus Lupin, and (her heart leapt) Sirius Black were all sitting there, with Adara Black, Angelique Alli, and (her heart wanted to kill) Revenna Jones standing around. Everyone turned to face her as she walked in.

"Hey, NoL," Sirius said, smiling. To NoL's satisfaction, she saw Revenna loose a bit of her smirk at Sirius's greeting. Serves her right.

"Hey, Sirius," NoL said, smiling back. She also saw that Adara looked like she wanted to barf...but then again, that usually happened when somebody was flirting with her twin brother.

But then again, Adara liked Remus, so she really shouldn't have been one to judge.

"Okay, IGNORE the rest of us," James said after a pause. "See if we care."

"Hey Sirius," Angelique started, smirking, "isn't that the girl you--"

Sirius clamped a hand over her mouth. "Isn't Angelique sweet?" he said, forcing a laugh.

"Um...right. Look, I've gotta go...place. Bye."

And with that, NoL left. She wasn't sure why. Maybe it was cuz she thought she was about to have a heart attack, what with her heart pounding so hard and all, or maybe it was because she simply couldn't stand looking at Revenna a moment longer.

NoL slid down to the floor and pressed her ear against the compartment door.

"I dunno, mate," James was saying. "She seems kinda edgy to me."

"That's only cuz you were here," Sirius retorted.

"I personally don't see what the big deal is, Sirius," Revenna spoke up. "I don't think she likes you that much...I would just give up."

NoL clenched her fists. She could feel her eyes trying to turn red. Her face screwed up and she heard the all-too-familiar popping noise. She still didn't have total control over her powers when she got really angry. But then it got worse.

"Seriously, Sirius, I would just move on, find someone else." And then there was that awkward silence that can only be followed by somebody trying to kiss someone.

NoL couldn't take it anymore. She stood up, and burst into the compartment, stunning them all, and causing Revenna to look up from where she was leaning over Sirius. Without even pausing to ponder why Adara hadn't slapped her yet, NoL said to Revenna, "You're right. I don't LIKE Sirius that much. I love him." And with that she stormed out, and ran all the way to the other side of the train.

"Can I sit here? It's full everywhere else," NoL found herself saying to the girl sitting by herself in the front compartment of the train.

"Sure," said the girl, looking up.

"Lily?"

"NoL?"

"Woah, I was WONDERING where you were! Why aren't you with all your friends?"

"I dunno...I hadta think...what about you?"

"I um...ran away."

Lily studied her face. "Sirius?"

"Yeah...what are you thinking about, anyways?"

"You don't wanna know."

"Yes, I do."

"Fine...James."

"James POTTER?" NoL smirked. She knew that despite her constant complaints, Lily had liked James for quite some time.

"I...I think I LIKE him!"

"No kidding."

"No, it gets worse...I think I REALLY like him! I think I might even LOVE him!"

NoL rolled her eyes. "As opposed to last year, when you..."

"Last year, I only kind of liked him. This is totally different."

"Whatever. The point is, I knew it."

"Yeah...so, what happened with Sirius?"

"Do you REALLY wanna know?"

"Yeah..."

NoL sighed. "Fine."

So NoL told her. And Lily listened, even though it only took like, half a minute to explain...but that was probably a good thing, because right after NoL was done, the door burst open. James, Sirius, and Lupin were all standing there...they had left Peter and the rest of their fan club behind.

"NoL!" Sirius said. "We've been searching every compartment for you..."

Meanwhile, behind him, James was playing with his hair. "Hey, Lily," he said softly to her. To everybody's surprise, Lily blushed a bit and said, "Hey James."

But, Sirius and NoL weren't really paying attention...so I guess they don't count. They were staring at each other.

"Why?" NoL asked finally.

"Why what?"

"Why have you been looking for me?"

"Because I wanna talk to you!"

"Oh...about what?"

Sirius glanced behind him at Remus, who nodded encouragingly, before saying "About this."

And with that, Sirius pulled NoL up to him and kissed her on the lips.
