A/N: First Harry Potter FanFic, I also have a Pirates of the Caribbean Fic up as well as a Rent fic up. This deals with James, Lily, Sirus, and most of all....LUPIN, as well as a character or two from my own imagination. Enjoy and Review!
The Hogwarts Express always left on time, and that time was 11 o'clock sharp. Perhaps that was what was leading to Lupin's tensed shoulders. It was already 10:55 and he had just entered the train station. Quickly he maneuvered through the muggles until finally he reached platform 9 ¾. He glanced up at the clock and its hands read: 10:58. Sighing with relief he inconspicuously pushed through the border and was on the train by 10:59. He started walking to the back looking for a compartment to sit in when he felt himself being shoved forward.
"Oof." Lupin said as he fell face first onto the carpeted floor. He felt hands helping him up and turned around to face one of his best friends, James Potter.
"Sorry, didn't mean to make you fall." James said apologetically.
"It's fine, just watch it next time will ya?" Lupin said, his eyes twinkling with laughter. James nodded his head and then pulled Lupin in the other direction from which he was going.
"We're down this way..." James said while he started walking, Lupin was fixing his shirt that he did not even notice James had stopped until he walked right into him.
"Hey, what's going on?" Lupin asked while looking over his shoulder, it was then that he saw her. The love of James Potter's life, Lily Evans, and beside her, the girl that Remus for the most part held only disgust for, Sophia Miller. "Hey, lover boy, go say 'Hi' to her or something. You never know, she may just say hey back."
James turned to his friend and grinned, "Maybe. Oi' Lily! How was your summer?" James yelled to the gorgeous red-head that stood only a few meters away.
"It was quite fine thanks, and next time you want to ask me a question, come up to me and ask, not scream it aloud for the entire train to hear like an immature prat. Oh wait, pardon my mistake, you are an immature prat!" Sophia stifled her laughter with her hand and pulled Lily into the compartment of the train in which they were already headed.
"She wants me." James said with the utmost confidence, and Lupin, not wanting to make his best friend realize the dismal reality, just shook his head and softly laughed.
Meanwhile in Lily and Sophia's compartment, Sophia asked Lily, "Why do you dislike James so, he's terribly handsome, charming, and funny, what is there not to like."
"Sophia! There is more to a person than just looks, personality, and humor."
"Lils, like um what?"
"Oh shut up, you know what I meant."
"Yeah, and you're right, who wants a handsome, funny, intelligent, charming guy? It's overrated." Sophia said while rolling her eyes, she honestly did not understand why Lily just did not stop James pain and accept a date with him. Yet, Lily was never conventional in her methods of thinking, so trying to understand her complex mannerisms would be like trying to understand a German with no tongue. It just did not work.
"It's the principal of the thing Sophie," Sophia winced, she hated being called Sophie, it sounded so childish, and the only one to get away with calling her that without getting jinxed was Lily, "sorry, it's just as much as Potter seems like a nice guy, he can be so obnoxious and stuck up as well. I don't want to be another conquest on the Potter list of things accomplished. If I were to date him, I'd want it to last."
Sophia smiled softly at her best friend. "So you do like him?"
"Of course I do, it's just I don't want a broken heart."
"I guess that makes since, and don't get upset with me but I'm about to say something really cliché, and this is it. 'It's better to have loved and ended with a broken heart, than to never have loved at all."
"Such the Romantic."
"Well, in this friendship, someone has to be, and you're ruled out because you're the pessimist. Pessimism and Romance don't go together, believe me, I know."
"Speaking of which, how are things with you and Eric?"
"Over."
"Really?"
Sophia looked out the train window at the sunlight, it was odd to her, that the day could be so happy, and yet she was so heartbroken. "Yeah, he came over last week and basically laid out all his cards on the table, when I looked at the ones in my hand, I realized they just didn't match. So much for 'Go Fish.'" She said gloomily.
"I don't understand, if you were the one to break up with him, then why are you upset."
"Because Lily, just because I broke up with him doesn't mean I didn't care for him immensely, I don't know maybe I even loved him. We're both leaving Hogwarts this year, but after that he has his life planned, and as for me I haven't a clue. I just know that my life isn't leading me in the direction of his."
"Which would be..."
"He wants to be an Auror. I respect them immensely, don't get me wrong, but I don't want to fear for my husband's life day in and day out."
"Whoa, it's a little bit early to be worrying about marriage."
Sophia punched Lily in the arm lightly, "You know what I meant."
"Yeah I know what you mean." The two girls gazed out into the grassy hills through which the Hogwarts Express was passing. Lily finally broke the silence when, still looking out at the vast beauty that was speedily going by them, "He is attractive isn't he?"
Sophia smiled, "Oh yeah."
After the brief encounter Lupin and James had, had with Lily and Sophia they headed to the compartment in which Sirus was sitting. Lupin slid open the door and walked in, putting his trunks up. Sirus stood up when Lupin and James walked in and said, "Hey, what took you guys so long?"
Lupin replied, "James had to ogle at Lily before we could come in." Sirius groaned.
"James my man, you really have to get over her. You have gone after her steadily for almost three years, she is not budging on her 'No I don't want to date you James' stance, move on, there are pretty of fine looking specimens at Hogwarts." Sirius said.
"You mean girls? Yes Sirus, I realize that, but I want Lily." James said as he plopped down onto the red velvet train seat. This time Lupin groaned.
"I don't see what the big deal is with her." Lupin said.
"Really, because I see it everyday and it grows constantly. She's beautiful, she's intelligent, she's funny, she's witty, and she has the best laughter my ears have ever been allowed to listen to. She is perfect."
"And you my dear fellow, are a lost cause. I fear I may have to take Lupin with me when I go look for the ladies from now on."
Lupin sighed, "Nope, not getting caught up in that mess."
Sirius pouted, "And why not?"
Lupin looked seriously into Sirius's dark eyes, "You know exactly why Sirius."
"Lupin, what a girl doesn't know can't hurt her."
"Actually...it can." Lupin looked down to his hands in misery. Sirius and James looked at each other for a moment before speaking.
"Look Lupin, if the girl is the one for you, it shouldn't matter that you're a werewolf." James said.
"Exactly." Sirius said, nodding enthusiastically, "I mean look at us, we didn't abandon you when we found out that you were a werewolf. We learned to be animagi so you wouldn't have to deal with it alone."
Lupin smiled at his friends, "Thanks, you have no idea how much that means to me, but the world will not be as accepting of who...of what I am."
James and Sirius looked sympathetically at Lupin who had turned his gaze to the carpet. Finally he slapped his thighs, "What's the plan for today, and what is the goal of number of detentions this year?"
James and Sirius busted out in laughter, and James spoke up, "I think this year, the total is what 500 each?"
Sirius rubbed his chin in thought, "Yeah, sounds about right."
Lupin then said to his friends, "Then I guess we better start now, the more the better." And all three guys nodded to each other and laughed. Not one of them even realized that there other "friend" was sitting in the corner watching them intently. Not one of them noticed the slight tear that etched its way down Peter Pettigrew's cheek.
After everyone had made it to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in, for the most part, one piece, everyone piled into the Great Hall. The intermingling friends split off to find their house tables and everyone looked for a friend at their own table. Sophia and Lily were the first to walk in, when they noticed Alice and a few other of their good friends sitting in a group, quickly they hurried over to where they were seated and sat down with them, absolving themselves into the ongoing conversation. James, Sirius, Peter, and Lupin came in after and headed toward their usual spot at the end of the table. They were all in deep discussion when a group of seventh year Gryffindors walked up to them. The four boys looked up at the girls trying hard to remember their names but failing to do so. Sirius spoke up first, "Hey uh-"
"Amaline." One of the girls spoke up, "But you can just call me Amy."
"Hello Amy," Sirius said appreciatively while he looked Amy up and down. In his opinion she was quite attractive. She had long flowing golden blonde hair, a light tan, blue eyes, and on her face, a slight sprinkle of freckles across her nose, not too much, but just enough to leave a darling effect.
Amy also took the time in which Sirius was staring. He was by far the most handsome man in the school. Dark hair that fell over his forehead in such a way that made a girl go weak to the knees, dark blue eyes that always seemed to twinkle, even if he was angry, red firm lips that were usually open into a smile. He had a nice build too; he had broad shoulders, towered over the girls with the height of 6'2, very muscular, and very much tanned. It really was no wonder that Sirius could have any girl that he wanted, and he did.
"Have a seat Amy." Sirius said while pointing to a seat across from him.
"Oh thanks." After being prodded by her friends she said, "And these are my friends, Bernadette, Ann, and Elizabeth." The rest of the guys smiled and asked them to be seated also.
At the other end of the table, Lily poked Sophia in the side while she was talking to their friend Maria. "Ouch! What do you want Lily."
"Look." Lily said pointing down the table at the obnoxious scene James, Remus, Peter, and Sirius were sharing with Amy, Bernadette, Ann, and Elizabeth. "Do those girls ever give up?"
"Did you seriously just ask that?"
"Good point. But you'd at least think the guys would have some class."
"Lily, look at them, every single one of them is a walking boy's fantasy. Of course they'd give into that."
"You're so understanding of men." Lily said, while rolling her eyes.
"I know, I have many brothers, and speaking of men, you're acting very jealous of a girl who seems to be going after a man that you don't want." Lily turned back to her friend and glared at her. "Sorry! Keep the ice glare to yourself please."
Dumbledore walked up to the podium and simply stated. "Eat up." And on the table before them, golden plates and platters filled with foods of all cuisines and the golden goblets with pumpkin juice. Lily kept looking down the table towards James and finally she pushed away her plate and stood up.
"I'm not very hungry; I'll see you guys at the dorm." She said before walking out of the Hall. Sophia watched James and how his eyes followed Lily out of the Hall before Lily had exited the building. For a moment Sophia debated on whether she should follow her friend or leave her to herself. Finally she just stood up and excused herself. As she was heading to the door she was stopped by Sirius's voice.
"Hey! Sophia! Long time no see!"
Sophia laughed and walked over to the place where Sirius was seated. "Hey Sirius, how was your summer."
"Boring. But now that I've seen you, it's been worth it."
Sophia grinned again, "You're full of it Sirius, you know that?"
"Yeah, and you're gorgeous, you know that?"
"Actually I did, but thank you for the reminder." Sophia winked at him.
"Be still my heart-"
"Before you go on a rampant love sonnet, I think I'm going to leave. You guys have a good feast."
"You too." Sophia turned towards the door and left the Hall. She was walking down the corridors when she heard her name being called. She turned to the voice and saw an out-of-breath-James Potter.
"Hello James." She said.
"Hey Sophia. What's going on with Lily?"
"You're guess is as good as mine."
"Are you lying to me?"
"Yeah."
"So will you tell me what's going on?"
"Not a chance." She said as turned and began to walk away.
"Why doesn't she like me?" Sophia stopped. She inhaled a deep breath and turned around to face James.
"James I don't know. That's something you'll have to ask her." She said looking at James who definitely had a defeated look in his eyes.
"Thanks. Tell her to come back down though, she's a prefect and Head Girl, she needs to help with leading the first years."
"I will. Bye James."
"Bye Sophia."
Sophia walked to the front of the Gryffindor entrance to the portrait of the Fat Lady and said the new password: Raspberry drop. The lady nodded and the portrait flung open. She walked into the girl's dormitory and saw Lily sitting on her bed with her face in her pillow. Sophia sighed and walked over to Lily. She sat on the edge of Lily's bed and put her hand on Lily's shoulder. She gently shook her while saying, "Lily? Lily? Come on Lily don't ignore me." Lily sat up.
"What do you want Sophia?"
"I just wanted to see if you were okay."
"Well I'm fine."
"Okay then. We need to go back down to the Hall." Sophia said while getting up and walking to the door.
"Wait, you're not going to contradict me on that."
"Lily my dear, I found out long ago never to contradict you." Lily laughed.
"I guess you're right."
"Come on then."
"Lead the way."
The two girls walked out of the Gryffindor dormitory and headed back down to the Hall. Sophia opened the door to the Hall and Lily walked in ahead of her. "Sure Lils, go on ahead. Leave us meager peasants to the door opening." Sophia said with a smile on her face. The two once again passed by James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter. Yet this time the girls had gone. Sirius called out to Lily and Sophia.
"Hey come sit over here Sophia." Sophia shrugged her shoulders.
"Why not." Sophia said as she walked over and sat across from Sirius. He grinned and she just laughed while flipping her hair over her shoulder. Lily sat down next to her, across from Remus. Throughout the rest of the meal, Sophia kept stealing glances at Remus. To most he was not the most attractive, especially since he was constantly compared to Sirius and James. Yet Sophia thought he was very attractive. He had deep chocolate kiss eyes that always melted Sophia's heart; his light brown almost blonde hair was cut short but not extremely so, it was still long enough for someone to run their hand through. He was only about 6'1, but the thing about Remus that intrigued Sophia the most was his intelligence. Sophia had cared for Remus since she had first met him, but he had always made his feelings about her very clear. Remus did not like her, and the reason behind that, Sophia did not know. So while Sophia continued to steal secret glances at Remus, he involved himself deeply into a conversation with Lily. Sophia tightened her fist and took a deep breath and turned her attention to Peter.
"Hey Pete. Excited that this is our last year."
Peter blushed deeply and nodded his head.
"Good." Sophia stated.
"So what's the detention hold then?" Sophia asked James.
"I think we agreed on 500 each." James said.
"Only 500, my dear James I do believe you are losing your touch."
"Am not." James said in a pitiful childish voice.
Sophia sighed and then turned to Lily. "Hey Lils, are you still spending the summer with me?"
"Of course! Do you honestly think I want to spend more time with Petunia and what's his face?"
"Good point. I could always leave my mark again." Sophia grinned mischievously.
"What?" Sirius asked, now interested in the conversation. They all knew Lily's sister, and they all despised her.
"Let's just say I may have...messed up her nose a little bit."
"You broke her nose?" Remus asked incredulously.
"Glad to know that's what gets your attention, and yes I did break her nose." Sophia said triumphantly.
"That isn't a good thing Sophia, I wouldn't be too proud of breaking a muggle's nose with magic."
Sophia's face went a deep red as she looked Remus straight in the eye, "For your information Lupin, I did NOT use magic to break her nose, I did it with my fist. Now if everyone will excuse me, I'm done wasting my time here." Sophia said getting up out of the seat and storming to the other end of the table. Lily looked apologetically to everyone before she stood up to calm down and an angry Sophia. The rumor is, a red heads temper is awful, and Sophia always proved that right. She sat down by Sophia who became severely interested in her plate. At the other end of the table, Sirius looked over at Remus.
"Congratulations, you just angered one of the nicest people here, what are you going to do now?" Sirius said sarcastically.
"Sirius?"
"Yeah Remus."
"Shut up."
"Right."

The Hogwarts Express always left on time, and that time was 11 o'clock sharp. Perhaps that was what was leading to Lupin's tensed shoulders. It was already 10:55 and he had just entered the train station. Quickly he maneuvered through the muggles until finally he reached platform 9 ¾. He glanced up at the clock and its hands read: 10:58. Sighing with relief he inconspicuously pushed through the border and was on the train by 10:59. He started walking to the back looking for a compartment to sit in when he felt himself being shoved forward.
"Oof." Lupin said as he fell face first onto the carpeted floor. He felt hands helping him up and turned around to face one of his best friends, James Potter.
"Sorry, didn't mean to make you fall." James said apologetically.
"It's fine, just watch it next time will ya?" Lupin said, his eyes twinkling with laughter. James nodded his head and then pulled Lupin in the other direction from which he was going.

"It was quite fine thanks, and next time you want to ask me a question, come up to me and ask, not scream it aloud for the entire train to hear like an immature prat. Oh wait, pardon my mistake, you are an immature prat!" Sophia stifled her laughter with her hand and pulled Lily into the compartment of the train in which they were already headed.
"She wants me." James said with the utmost confidence, and Lupin, not wanting to make his best friend realize the dismal reality, just shook his head and softly laughed.

Sophia said while rolling her eyes, she honestly did not understand why Lily just did not stop James pain and accept a date with him. Yet, Lily was never conventional in her methods of thinking, so trying to understand her complex mannerisms would be like trying to understand a German with no tongue. It just did not work.
"It's the principal of the thing Sophie," Sophia winced, she hated being called Sophie, it sounded so childish, and the only one to get away with calling her that without getting jinxed was Lily, "sorry, it's just as much as Potter seems like a nice guy, he can be so obnoxious and stuck up as well. I don't want to be another conquest on the Potter list of things accomplished. If I were to date him, I'd want it to last."
Sophia smiled softly at her best friend. "So you do like him?"
"Of course I do, it's just I don't want a broken heart."
"I guess that makes since, and don't get upset with me but I'm about to say something really cliché, and this is it. 'It's better to have loved and ended with a broken heart, than to never have loved at all."
"Such the Romantic."
"Well, in this friendship, someone has to be, and you're ruled out because you're the pessimist. Pessimism and Romance don't go together, believe me, I know."
"Speaking of which, how are things with you and Eric?"
"Over."
"Really?"
Sophia looked out the train window at the sunlight, it was odd to her, that the day could be so happy, and yet she was so heartbroken. "Yeah, he came over last week and basically laid out all his cards on the table, when I looked at the ones in my hand, I realized they just didn't match. So much for 'Go Fish.'" She said gloomily.
"I don't understand, if you were the one to break up with him, then why are you upset."
"Because Lily, just because I broke up with him doesn't mean I didn't care for him immensely, I don't know maybe I even loved him.

"Which would be..."
"He wants to be an Auror. I respect them immensely, don't get me wrong, but I don't want to fear for my husband's life day in and day out."
"Whoa, it's a little bit early to be worrying about marriage."
Sophia punched Lily in the arm lightly, "You know what I meant."
"Yeah I know what you mean." The two girls gazed out into the grassy hills through which the Hogwarts Express was passing. Lily finally broke the silence when, still looking out at the vast beauty that was speedily going by them, "He is attractive isn't he?"

James and Sirius looked sympathetically at Lupin who had turned his gaze to the carpet. Finally he slapped his thighs, "What's the plan for today, and what is the goal of number of detentions this year?"
James and Sirius busted out in laughter, and James spoke up, "I think this year, the total is what 500 each?"
Sirius rubbed his chin in thought, "Yeah, sounds about right."

"You too." Sophia turned towards the door and left the Hall. She was walking down the corridors when she heard her name being called. She turned to the voice and saw an out-of-breath-James Potter.

"I will. Bye James."
"Bye Sophia."
Sophia walked to the front of the Gryffindor entrance to the portrait of the Fat Lady and said the new password: Raspberry drop. The lady nodded and the portrait flung open. She walked into the girl's dormitory and saw Lily sitting on her bed with her face in her pillow. Sophia sighed and walked over to Lily.

Throughout the rest of the meal, Sophia kept stealing glances at Remus. To most he was not the most attractive, especially since he was constantly compared to Sirius and James. Yet Sophia thought he was very attractive. He had deep chocolate kiss eyes that always melted Sophia's heart; his light brown almost blonde hair was cut short but not extremely so, it was still long enough for someone to run their hand through. He was only about 6'1, but the thing about Remus that intrigued Sophia the most was his intelligence. Sophia had cared for Remus since she had first met him, but he had always made his feelings about her very clear. Remus did not like her, and the reason behind that, Sophia did not know. So while Sophia continued to steal secret glances at Remus, he involved himself deeply into a conversation with Lily. Sophia tightened her fist and took a deep breath and turned her attention to Peter.
"Hey Pete. Excited that this is our last year."
Peter blushed deeply and nodded his head.
"Good." Sophia stated.
"So what's the detention hold then?" Sophia asked James.
"I think we agreed on 500 each." James said.
"Only 500, my dear James I do believe you are losing your touch."
"Am not." James said in a pitiful childish voice.
Sophia sighed and then turned to Lily. "Hey Lils, are you still spending the summer with me?"
"Of course! Do you honestly think I want to spend more time with Petunia and what's his face?"
"Good point. I could always leave my mark again." Sophia grinned mischievously.
"What?" Sirius asked, now interested in the conversation. They all knew Lily's sister, and they all despised her.
"Let's just say I may have...messed up her nose a little bit."
"You broke her nose?" Remus asked incredulously.
"Glad to know that's what gets your attention, and yes I did break her nose." Sophia said triumphantly.
"That isn't a good thing Sophia, I wouldn't be too proud of breaking a muggle's nose with magic."
Sophia's face went a deep red as she looked Remus straight in the eye, "For your information Lupin, I did NOT use magic to break her nose, I did it with my fist. Now if everyone will excuse me, I'm done wasting my time here." Sophia said getting up out of the seat and storming to the other end of the table. Lily looked apologetically to everyone before she stood up to calm down and an angry Sophia. The rumor is, a red heads temper is awful, and Sophia always proved that right. She sat down by Sophia who became severely interested in her plate. At the other end of the table, Sirius looked over at Remus.
"Congratulations, you just angered one of the nicest people here, what are you going to do now?" Sirius said sarcastically.
"Sirius?"
"Yeah Remus."
"Shut up."
"Right."
