Chapter 48

Train Ride

Being a prefect, Lily had to at least start the ride at the front of the train with the other prefects. She did not mind, she sat next to Remus and chated to him about the exams and the summer holidays. She noticed that he was looking slightly peeky, he was very pale and thin, and had dark circles under his eyes. Lily rememered that he had been absent from meals for a few days last week, and wondered if he was still sick.

"Are you quite well Remus?" She asked, concernedly.

"Of course, why wouldn't I be?" He said, somewhat too defensively in Lily's mind. Then Lily rememebred that last week had been a full moon and could have slapped herself for her foolishness. Of course she should not have mentioned it in front of everyone. What had she been thinking?

"Of course you are. Are you looking forward to a relaxing summer to recover from those rigorous exams?" Lily asked, changing the subject to the only safe thing she could think of. No one had noticed. No one was listening to their convorsation. Remus shot her a greatful look and they reverted back to the former topics of discussion. Later on in the ride they walked together back to the main part of the train to find their friends. They were all in a compartment near the middle of the train. Holly, Janette, Caroline, Ben, Sirius, Janette's latest love interest Henry, and James. Lily enetered the compartment and sat down next to James, not un-noticed by the other compartment occupants.

Lily, not having eaten since earlier that morning, shared some of James's pumpkin pasties. Remus sat down across from Holly and Sirius and looked out the window. He really did not look well.

"James, I could kick myself, I'm so foolish." Lily said in a hushed tone so that no one else in the room would overhear, even though they were all her friends.

"Why could you kick yourself Lil? What did you do?" James asked, handing her another pumpkin pasty.

"Because for a moment I forgot about Remus being a, you know," Lily said, looking around swiftly, "and I asked him if he was feeling quite well as he looked a bit peeky. I'm such a dolt." She confessed.

"You're not Lil, don't say that. Anyone could have made that mistake. Besides, I'm sure he'd be glad that you had forgotten. It shows that it's not all you think about whenever you're around him." James comforted her.

"I suppose so. But James, is he quite well? He really doesn't look all right." Lily glanced at Remus's pale face again and then back at James.

"He's fine, it's always like this just before and just after a full moon." James told her.

"I feel terrible for him, he only gets one good week a month." Lily said sympathetically.

"Yes." James said. "But he never complains." James told her, sounding proud of his friend.

They spent the ride playing exploding snap and eating James's candies happily, and were all sad to see the ride end.

When they reached the platform James helped Lily to lift her trunk down from the overhead racks. They walked through te barrier and in to the muggle world, back to their parents and real lives. Lily hugged each of her friends in turn, coming lastly to James.

"Write me." He whispered into her ear as the hugged a little longer than was necessary for friends.

"I'll write if you will." She replied.

"Every day." He answered breathing into her hair and tickling her ear.

"See you in the fall." She told him.

"It will feel like an eternity." He answered, sqeazing her tightly and then releasing her. She laughed and pushed him away playfully.

"Don't be silly. See you later." She called over her shoulder to the group of people waiting to be picked up. Lily rolled her cart loaded with her trunk over to her father and mother and sister, who for the first time in a while had come along to pick her up. "Mom! Dad! Petunia!" Lily cried, hugging each in turn.

Petunia hung back a little as they walked away to the car as Lily rambled on about school and her friends and her exams. The entire car ride home Lily told them all she had learned, conveniently leaving out the bits about Voldemort and her powers.

The End

To Be Continued

Authors Note: That was the last chapter, but never fear..there will be more!! But only if you review!! hahahahah. I couldn't decide how much to tell you, but here goes nothing. I'm leaving out most of the exciting things. Oh and if you're having trouble thinking of anything to say in a review, give me advice on pranks the marauders can play next semester!!! Haha, I have a few ideas, but I need many many more, so anything you have would be greatly appreciated!

Sequal: A Rise to Power

Continues with the summer break and then Lily goes back to school. Over the summer Lily will see James...wink wink. When she goes back to school, things are different. Dumbledore needs her now more than ever, and things are at the breaking point with Slytherin house. Once good friends, Slytherin and Gryfindor are now deadly rivals for everything, house cup, quiddich cup, the attention of girls/boys (depending on your sexual orentation of course). There are fights in hallways, Slytherins and Gryfindors do not speak to eachother...except to throw curses. James too is different around Lily and she does not like it at all. Some interesting romance and conflict coming up, enter the animargi, the Marauders. Caroline and Bens relationship developes, Alice and Lily talk things out, Holly and Sirius..well, I'll let you read it... Oh, plus more on Janette's romance with Henry...

Also, my sister will be introduced as a walk on role, see if you can spot her! Actually, that task will be somewhat difficult to those of you who do not know her...ah well. She likes the show degrassi, that's the only clue I'll give you. (the character she plays doesnt wach the show...ah well, you'll get it when you read)
