Disclaimer- I do not own Lily or anything else that belongs to J.K. Rowling even if I do wish it was my ingenious. But it wasn't so I can't steal. That's all I have to say.
Summer vacation passed by fast enough and it was now time for little Lily Evans to return to Hogwarts. Now, Hogwarts was no ordinary school, it was for magic folk. Witched and wizards, you know? Lily was in her 6th year, making her a soon-to-be seventeen year old.
She awoke with a stretch and bounced out of bed. Running down the stairs, she grabbed a piece of toast, shoving it in her mouth as she proceeded to rush back upstairs. Throwing on her clothes, she grabbed her trunk and shoes and ran outside to the waiting taxi, in stocking feet.
"Kings Cross Station," was the first thing out of her mouth. With a nod, the cab driver set off, weaving through traffic.
"So, where are you going?" the driver, Ed his nametag said, started a friendly conversation"
"Just to school," short and simple, that's how Lily wanted to keep this conversation.
"Oh, really? Where at?"
Lily silently groaned, "It's a um... school in Scotland called... St. James err the third. Ya..."
"Hmm, I haven't heard of that one. And let me tell you, I've heard my fair share of schools. That's what I get for becoming a taxi driver. Mum always wanted me to be a lawyer. But I said that's too dirty, I said." The rest of the trip past quickly, listening to stories from Ed's life.
Finally, stepping out of the car after hearing a story about Ed's great aunt's mother-in-law's dog being potty-trained, she grabbed her trunk and started carting it through the station on a trolley.
"Platform one, two ,three...six, seven, eight, ah! Nine!" she counted and without thinking started running towards the barrier. She faded from sight and emerged to see a great red train labeled "The Hogwarts Express" and kids of all ages mulling around greeting each other or saying farewell to their family.
"Lily! Oh, Lily! Over here!" Another girl about Lily's height, with platinum blonde hair yelled. Her name was Elizabeth, or Lizzy. The two girls had been best friends from the moment the tripped over each others' trunks back in first year. Lizzy was a very amicable person. She was rather loud and always stated her opinion. The two grabbed a compartment and began to talk. They had a whole summer to catch up on.
A/N Sorry that these chapters have been rather short, I swear they will get longer as the story goes along, but at the moment I right what I have time for and what fits in each chapter. I would like to thank the reviewers, I love you guys. I'm also looking for a beta, yes I know my grammer, etc. is horrible. If you are interested please e-mail me. Or if you have any ideas for this story that you would like me to try to put in, please feel free to tell me. Criticism is welcome and any other comment you feel like making.
