"Lily! Wait for me!" A voice rang through Kings Cross Station. Lily Evans turned around to see who the voice belonged to, and her red hair swung around gracefully. Her green eyes lit up at the sight of her best friend, Kimmie Avila. Kimmie's black hair was put into neat twisties, and her deep, dark brown eyes were lit up and happy.

"I haven't seen you forever!" She grinned, showing off her braces, which looked amazingly cute on her.

"Honestly!" Lily giggling while hugging her tightly.

"Lily, come on!" Lily's mother said, motioning for the girls to follow her. "You don't want to miss your train."

"Look, there's Lily..." A boy behind them muttered to his friend

"That's Lily??" The boy's mother said loudly.

"Mum...!!" The boy groaned as Lily and Kimmie turned around at the sound of her voice.

The boy's mother rushed up to them and stuck out her hand. "Hello, I am Genevieve Potter, James's mother. You can call me Gen."

Lily grinned and shook hands with her. "I'm Lily Evans, and this is my best friend Kimmie Avila."

"Of course I know who both of you are - James and Sirius here always talk very highly about you. Since you know James, you must know Sirius - Sirius Black."

"Of course." Lily grinned, as Kimmie waved cutely to Sirius, who was standing with James behind Gen, talking in low whispers. "It's not like anybody in the school don't know who they are. Did you say they talk about us?" Lily asked.

"Only all the time! He said you were beautiful, and I can see he was right. And when Sirius spends the night - which is usually every night - it's Kimmie this and Kimmie that and remember when Kimmie said this and remember when Kimmie did that..."

"Erm - mum...I think it's time for us to get on the train..." James blushed.

But Gen had rushed over to Lily's mother and father and introduced herself, leaving Lily and Kimmie to face Sirius and James.

"Hey, guys!" Kimmie grinned at them.

Sirius simply nodded at her, keeping his eyes to the floor.

"So...you spend a lot of time at James's?" Lily asked Sirius, trying to start a conversation.

"Yep, I don't like being at home." Sirius answered, examining his right arm carefully.

"Why not?" Kimmie asked.

"Because I hate my family and James's family is my family." Sirius answered truthfully. James grinned and pushed Sirius's shoulder.

"Awww, flattering, Padfoot." James laughed.

"Not at all, Prongs." Sirius answered, grinning.

"Anyway...how was your summer?" Lily asked James.

"It was awesome, I got -"

"HEAD BOY!" They heard Gen yell proudly. "Yep, my son's Head Boy!"

"Yeah, that." James laughed loudly.

Lily's mother, Rose, smiled. "My baby Lily got Head Girl too - not that I completely understand what it is - but I am still so proud of her."

"Sorry to interrupt, mum, Gen, but we have to get on the train." Lily said firmly. They finally all went through the platform as they heard Gen and Rose exchanging phone numbers.

"Come on, we've got to get a compartment..." Kimmie and Sirius said in unison. They glanced at each other, surprised.

"Can't, we're Head boy and Girl." James and Lily replied at the same time. They looked at each other, grinning. They went down to the prefect compartment and explained to them what they had to do.

Then they went to their own compartment for Head Boy and Head Girl. Lily collapsed onto the seat, leaning against the side while looking out the window. James laid down on the seat, watching Lily.

"It's great we're Head Boy and Girl, eh?" James asked her, grinning.

"Hm? Oh yeah, right, really great..." Lily said. She had never really liked James, or his friends for that matter. They had always been too loud and obnoxious for her, except perhaps Remus Lupin, who wasn't as nearly as stupid as James and Sirius.

"Hey, we're going to be spending a lot of time together, as we're the Head Boy and Girl, so we need to get along." James protested.

"How Dumbledore ever made you Head Boy is beyond me..." Lily muttered, examining her nails.

James fell silent, watching her. He had liked her for the past seven years, experiencing love at first sight at an early age during their first year, when they met on the Hogwarts Express. Every time they had contact, she treated him like a little boy or someone not worth her time, even though he stuck up for her various times against a boy named Severus Snape, otherwise known as Snivillus to James and Sirius, who often called Lily a mudblood.

"Guess he just likes me, huh?" James laughed. "Aw, come on Lily, please?"

"Fine, James, alright? Let's get to know each other, and we'll get along." Lily sighed.

"Okay." James smiled. "So...tell me about your family."

"My parents are both Muggles, but they're great. My mum works at the news station as the weather lady, and my dad works on cars. I have a sister named Petunia, I hate her, she thinks I'm a freak for being a witch, but she's boring and gross, and has this weird boyfriend who's even worse then her. What about you?" Lily asked.

"My mum is...crazy. As you saw." James laughed. "She works at the Daily Prophet. My dad is a healer at St. Mungo's. I'm an only child. But I have a couple cousins, and the best aunt and uncle in the world. They bought me my broomstick for my birthday. It's a Meteorite737." James said, proudly.

"Wow, those are pretty expensive!" Lily replied in awe.
