Chapter 9: When it hit's you it hurts.
Lily sat in her seat, and fidgeted. She was sitting in the front with her mother on the way to Kings Cross.
"Is there something wrong Lily?" Mrs. Evans asked her younger daughter.
"Just a little bit nervous" Lily said.
"Don't worry…you'll make a wonderful head girl…that's something I can promise" Mrs. Evans said, smiling at her daughter as she turned into a side road.
"I know…I'm just wondering who the head boy will be…Olivia said she knew who but she wouldn't tell me" Lily said, playing with her silver bracelet.
"I expect you and him will get on great…unless he's one of those Sutherlin types" Mrs. Evans said.
"I guess…and it's Slytherin mum" Lily said smiling at her mum.
Half an hour later, they had pulled up outside the station and Lily's mum turned to her in the car.
"Lily…now I wanted to talk to you…about boys" Lily's mums said.
"Mum…I'm 17…and I have had boyfriends…nothing serious" she said as her mothers face contorted into shock at the thought of Lily having been with someone in a certain way. "I'm grateful for you're…knowledge and stuff…but I'll be fine" Lily said.
"I know" Mrs. Evans said, kissing her on the cheek and getting out the car.
They said a rushed goodbye and kissed as Lily pushed her trolley into the station. She walked towards the platform and say Sydney stood there, waiting for her.
"Lily…when I told you yesterday I would wait for you…I did not expect to be waiting her for long" Sydney said hugging her as her cat, Peaches, hissed behind her to Lily's owl, Jammie Dodger.
"I'm sorry…my Mum wanted to have the boy talk with me" Lily said.
"My mum had that talk with me when I was 8…I was so shocked I almost cried" Sydney said thoughtfully.
"I wonder why my Mum left it so late" Lily smiled.
"Because your mother is actually human unlike mine" Sydney said as she started to push her trolley alongside Lily's.
"Where's Ellie?" Lily asked.
"I saw Remus before, and I told him I had to wait for you so he took the evil child through for me" Sydney said.
"You got a nice one there" Lily smiled.
"I know" Sydney grinned.
"So are you going to sit with us, or do you have to be in that special compartment" Sydney said, once they had gotten to the other side.
"Well…I have at least half an hour to sit with you lot then I have to go sit with the Head boy and we have to go over what were going to say to the Prefects and then when they leave we have to patrol for a while together and then were allowed to sit with our friends but we have to patrol every hour for at least ten minutes" Lily said.
"Well…you have that figured out" Sydney said.
Lily blushed, "I guess I do"
"Do you know he is then?" Sydney said, as they walked towards the bustling train.
"Absolutely no idea" Lily said.
They helped each other put their trunks in the racks and then took Lily's owl and Sydney's cat to an empty compartment. As they walked down the corridor, they walked upon an open door to see Olivia and Cassidy glaring a boy on the floor. This boy had shiny black hair flopping on to his forehead and slightly into his eyes. He had mischievous grey eyes, and a grin plastered on his face at all times. He was now sitting looking up at the girls with a slight smile on his face.
"Where is it?" Olivia said, pointing her wand at him.
"Where's what?" Sirius said with a glint in his eye.
"My wand, dung brain" Cassidy said.
"Oh that…I accidentally stuck it up Pete's bum-hole" Sirius said.
"A. that is disgusting, B. It's not true and C. Where the hell is it?" Cassidy shouted.
"Okay let's make a compromise…I'll give it to you Cass…if I get one kiss on the cheek" Sirius said.
"I will not" Cassidy said.
"Fine then…no wand" Sirius said.
"Fine" Cassidy said. Bending down she went to kiss his cheek, as he quickly turned his face so that her lips touched his own. She kept them there for at least a second, before pulling away.
"You said cheek" she said quietly to his face.
"It was a reflex…I don't know what happened" Sirius said.
"Sure…now give the girl her wand" Olivia said.
"Fine" he dug into his pockets and retrieved the long piece of wood and handed it over.
"Bye girls" Sirius said.
"Not so fast" Olivia said, waving her wand, putting the jelly-legs curse on him so he fell flat on his bottom.
"Oh come on" Sirius said, his legs moving madly.
"Lil…Syd" Olivia said running to the door, with Cassidy behind her, who had to step over an annoyed Sirius Black.
They hugged and laughed, till Sirius started to smack Cassidy on the legs demanding that his legs be returned to normal.
After Olivia said the counter-curse and freed him, he smiled at them and giving a swift kiss on a shocked Cassidy's cheek he left, walking with an extra jump in his step.
They sat down and were talking for at least five minutes when lily remembered she had to know who the Head Boy is, she quickly turned to Olivia.
"Liv…who's the Head Boy?" Lily said.
"Oh yeah…it's my brother…he's been asking me if it was you all summer and I was like not telling him" Olivia said, but it didn't matter, Lily wasn't listening. How was she going to work with someone who refused to talk to her for the rest of the year?
