A/N: Okay, well here is the first chapter, hope you all like it!!

Chapter 2: The Hogwarts Express

Lily stared at the brick wall in front of her that separated the muggle and magic world.

Lily sighed. 'I just never can get used to this, can I.' she thought.

She wished she didn't have to go through. She wished she could just sit here, attracting attention, until it was eleven 'o clock, and the train left. Or at least until someone came so they could go through together.

'Why hadn't I gone through with mum and dad like they asked?' She thought.

She knew very well why. It would be highly embarrasing to walk through the barrier only to be seen on the side holding on to her mothers hand for dear life.

Her mother and father had already gone through before her. They said they found it fun. Exhilarating, even. Imagine that! Sometimes, Lily thought, her parents seemed more adjusted to the magic world than she was.

She sighed again. 'Here goes-' she thought.

She ran as fast as she possibly could towards the barrier between platforms nine and ten.

"Oy, Remus! Over here!"

Remus Lupin turned to see his two best friends, James and Sirius, over by James' parents. He walked over.

"Hello, Remus. How has your summer been?" asked Mrs. Potter

"Fine, thanks. And yours?

"Very good, thanks."

"Remus, have you seen Peter?" asked James.

"No, I haven't." Said Remus.

"Who cares? You haven't gone soft, have you Jamsie?" Said Sirus.

James looked at Sirius with a look of deep disgust.

"He's our friend, Sirius."

Sirius waved a inpatient hand. "Whatever."

"Mr. Potter, how are things in the ministry?" Asked Remus.

"Oh, well crazy as usual. That Fudge, you know, my new assistant?"

Remus nodded.

"He's an odd one, he is. Does the funniest things. He has a collection of antique dolls, you know."

"Oh really? How very.... er.. interesting."

"You do not have to act intrigued, boy. He is the weirdest person I have ever met in my whole life. Well, the Lovegoods give him a run for his money, but still....."

"Remus, shut up being smart and lets go do something."

"Okay, James. Goodbye Mr. and Mrs. Potter."

"Goodbye Remus. Have a nice school year!" Said Mrs. Potter before Sirius dragged him away.

As they walked towards a large crowd that had surrounded around something, you could hear Mrs. Potter tell Mr. Potter, "Tell me again why someone like Remus would hang out with someone like James?"

Lily opened her eyes to the scarlet steam engine that was the Hogwarts Express. She shook herself slightly. She would have to get used to that.

She started to make her way to the luggage rack but was inturupted by two large lumps hitting her from behind. She could only say "What the-" before the wind was knocked out of her as she hit the ground.

"Sorry Lily!" Said a happy voice.

"Crystal! Holly!" She gave them each an equally painful tackle, not noticing that they were all on the ground attracting much attention.

Holly Nirvana and Crystal Kopra (A/N, Crystal, I did put your name in there!) were Lily's best friends at Hogwarts.

Crystal, the shorter one, was about 5'5 and skinny. She had straight brown hair that went down to the middle of her back. She was very happy all of the time.

Holly was 5'10, very tall, with shoulder length blonde hair that was slightly curly. She was a little shy, but she was so pretty that it didn't matter.

Lily was the most wanted of the group, but Crystal and Holly were not far behind. Don't get me wrong, they were both very pretty, but they had nothing on Lily. She was just drop dead gorgeous.

Okay. Back to the story.

The three girls sat there laughing for about five minutes before they thought it would be best to untangle themselves. The only problem was that they didn't know how.

"Okay- how exactly are we going to do this?" Holly said.

It was quite a pickle they were in too; Lily's heel was entangled in Crystals sweater, Holly couldn't feel her hand anymore because of the fact that Lily was sitting on it, and Crystals ankle was who knows where twisted painfully in the wrong direction.

"Need some help?" Said a boys voice. (A/N, I don't know if they are boys or men, so bear with me if it changes frequently)

"Yes, Please," Said Crystal.

Lily groaned. The four marauders stood above them, all grinning, James grinning the most. He stuck out his hand in front of him to take.

"I'm fine thanks," Lily said, trying to get herself untangled.

"Suit yourself," Said James, his grin fading.

"Oh cheer up old Jamsie! This way you get to stare at Lily for the whole time she tries to get herself untangled, and you have an excuse!" Sirius said.

"Whatever. Lily, stop being such a prat." Crystal said. "I'll take some help!"

Remus quickly ran over and pulled her out of the mess. They stared at each other for a while, until they noticed that they were still holding hands, and quickly let go, blushing.

"Thanks," said Crystal.

"No problem," said Remus.

Holly untangled herself and quickly helped Lily up.

"Holly!!" said Sirius, putting an arm around her shoulder. "How have you been! I haven't seen you in ages! And your hair! Its gorgeous! What did you do to it?"

Holly looked at him with her left eyebrow raised, and then rolled her eyes.

"And you think I'm bad with Lily." said James. "You might as well tell her you wanna go out with her."

Poor James. He never had a chance.

Sirius gave him a look of pure venom before running after him to who knows where, screaming, "I'm gonna get you prongs!!!" after him.

Actually, he did like her, yet of course no one knew that until now. Sirius had a weak spot for blondes and girls he "Didn't have to bend down to kiss" in his words. AKA: Tall girls. And Holly definitely had that- Sirius was exactly her hight.

After the laughter died down, Remus said he "Better go play peacemaker again" and Peter said something along the lines of "Food. So the three girls were left to themselves again, witch was probably good, since they had a lot of catching up to do.

A/N: Yippie!!! My first real chapter!!!! Well, Crystal, sorry if that person is nothing like you, but I don't know it just worked out that way. Sorry! If u want me to change her hair color or if you want to explain her personality some more, that would be great. And sorry to all that expected there to be truth or dare in this chapter, so did I, but it didn't work out......next chapter, I promise!!!

Oh- and just so you all know, Holly Nirvana is nothing like me, I just couldn't think of a name.

Thanks to my one reviewer, Error! Bookmark not defined.! Since she was lucky # 1, she earned a spot in my story!

Happy reviewing, all!!!
