Chapter Two

The Hogwarts Express Part Two

Suddenly the compartment opened again, and three figures stepped in. Lily looked up to see who they were and gasped.

" Madeline, Madison, and Maurice," Lily said stonily. "What may I ask, brings the perfect three to our compartment?"

"Oh, nothing," Madison said casually, chewing loudly on a piece of bubble gum.

"Just wondering if we all can be friends again," Madeline said, tossing back her layered, black hair with blue and blond highlights.

" Thanks, but offer not excepted,'' Kate rolled her eyes. "After all those pranks you pulled on us? You guys mean nothing whatsoever to us."

"Oh c'mon," Maurice sat down and started to file her nails. "Let's forget our past."

" Well" Alice was starting to give in.

"Let me give you a hug, Lil's," Maurice threw back her long blonde hair and reached over to hug Lily.

"No! Get off of me!" Lily pushed Maurice away. "Leave, now!"

"No way," Madeline sneered.

"Make us," Madison smirked.

Lily shot the others a look. Her friends nodded. It was time. She grabbed the others' hands and formed a triangle. Lily whispered something and a wind drifted in, blowing their hair. The perfect three looked surprised, even a little sacred.

"Let's get out of here," Maurice said anxiously.

"No," Kate said. "Lockius!" The door slammed shut.

Still holding hands, the three girls chanted:

"We are the power of three

Stronger than one.

Earth, Fire, Water

Let this be done."

" Earth," They whispered and a brown light flashed from Kate's wand.

"Fire," And a red light burst from Lily's wand.

" Water,'' A blue light shot out of Alice's wand.

" Unite all together

We have no fears

We hurt the guilty

Wipe away their sneers."

The three colors twisted together and headed for the perfect three. They looked scared now. The light blasted them away. The three friends smiled and sat back down.

"Wow, we should try that more often," Alice laughed.

"That was fun!" Kate agreed. "Right Lily?"

"Umm," Alice looked at Lily. She was staring out of the window.

"Lily? Is everything okay?" Kate asked.

"Go away! Leave me alone!" Lily yelled at them. The girls looked surprised but left the room.

" Well," Alice said huffily. "Some friend she turned out to be!"

Kate silently agreed.

Back in Lily's compartment, Lily was fast asleep. She didn't notice a dark figure enter the compartment.
