Chapter 3
They all stood there, waiting for a carriage to take them to the castle. Carriages held four each, so naturally you'd think the Marauders would go in one and the girls would take another. But this wasn't how it played out. Lily and Sirius just couldn't bear to be away from each other for a minute.
"Young love," Brooke said rolling her eyes.
So Sirius and Lily got in a carriage and they were soon joined by Jessica and Remus. Sirius and Lily sat there canoodling and whispering sweet nothings in each others ears while Jessica sat there giggling and trying not to act so nervous, and while Remus blushed.
When they arrived at school, they all sat together in the Great Hall for the welcoming feast and the sorting. Once Zeke Zimmerman had been sorted into Hufflepuff Lily led the way back to Gryfinndor common room.
"Password?" asked the portrait of a particularly plump woman in a pink dress.
"Beet blossom," Lily said loudly, so that everyone could hear.
Once all the students had entered the common room, and most had filtered up to their dormitories, Lily entered. She was dog tired as was ready to go to bed, so she gave Sirius a tender good night kiss and went upstairs to her dormitory.
She got into her nightclothes inside her bed curtains and went over to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth before going to bed. She bid Esmerelda, Jessica, and Brooke goodnight and collapsed on her bed, falling asleep shortly afterward.
