Chapter Five
The Hogwarts Express
The rest of the summer flew by for Lily she saw Ash two or three more times and other then that was constantly being tortured by her sister Petunia and practicing spells and reading all her books over and over again. She started packing a week in advance for Hogwarts and she was incredibly nervous and couldn't wait at the same time to see Ash and meet the other students. Lily was so happy for the end of the holiday, which was the next morning. Lily had it all planed out she would wake up at 8:30, take a shower, double check her trunk and slide it down the stairs, she would then go to breakfast and then finally she would leave and arrive at Kings Cross for 10:45 and board her train at platform 9 ¾ her and Ash were going to meet at platform 9. She went over the plan in her head until she fell asleep.
Ash was sooooooooooo hyper the day before she left that her Mum almost locked her in her room. Ash finally calmed down and decided to take a shower. After her shower she returned her room where she packed her stuff. Ash had casually looked over her textbooks and had then thrown them into the open trunk along with her uniforms and lots of cloths and everything else she could fit in it. Ash's Mum was going to wake her up at 9:30 and then drive her to breakfast before they went to meet Lily at the station. Ash worried about everything but she was sure she would be fine as long as she had Lily. Ash finally fell asleep.
James and Sirius were so busy planning pranks that they completely lost track of time and were shocked when Mrs. Potter yelled at them to make sure they were packed for the morning. They scrambled to pack everything in the few hours they had before bed and then Mrs. Potter had to do a spell so that everything was packed and would fit into their trunks. The next morning at 10:45 they flooed to the station and said their good-byes.
"Now boys" said Mrs. Potter " I don't want any letters from Dumbledore saying that you've blown up toilet seats or stolen anything do you understand?"
"Yes mum we won't blow up toilet seats," said James and then he murmured to Sirius "we don't have enough explosives to do that yet."
At that remark Sirius burst out laughing "Bloody hell James I done EVER want to see you with that much explosive power" said Sirius between breaths. James was now laughing.
"Now boys I mean it one letter and you can just try to fund the Quiditch supplies next holiday" said Mrs. Potter in a tone that shut them both up in a hurry. "Now come on get through that barrier and remember what I said."
James and Sirius both hugged Mrs. Potter goodbye and ran through the wall. After making it through the "solid" wall the kept running well in James case running but Sirius was standing on the trolley whooping as he beat James to the train. "Well Sirius that was very cheap" exclaimed James as the two boys walked down the train looking for a compartment.
"Your just jealous because I beat you" said Sirius after a brief pause he added "again" and then shot James a smile that little did he know would make girls melt in his presence in about two years.
James chose to ignore his best friend's comment as they reached the end of the train and they open the last compartment and saw a boy who looked about their age he had sandy blonde hair and calm Grey eyes James thought that he looked nice so he said "hi I'm James Potter and this is my mate Sirius Black all of the other compartments are full soooooo could we sit with you?"
"Sure" replied the boy "this journey would have been very boring if you hadn't come along by the way my name is Remus. Remus Lupin." He finished.
"We are pleased to meet you Remus" Sirius said "so do u like…" but Sirius never got to finish that thought because a small mousy looking boy banged through the door looking utterly terrified.
"Please help me Malfoy and Snape are chasing me and well this is the only place that hasn't laughed and slammed the door" said the boy.
"Ya sure" said Remus as he and James got up to help the boy with his trunk. All of the sudden a set of finger grabbed the compartment door and when James saw them he grabbed the other end of the door and slammed them into wall fast and hard.
"BLOODYHELL I think that arrogant little ass broke my fingers Luciouse (AN: SP if u no let me no lol) said a male voice that Remus, James and Sirius assumed was Snape's voice. The compartment door flew open and two very ugly people stood in the threshold. One of them had an almost albino look to him and that would have been terrific grounds for taunts to start on but alas he had piercing blue eyes. They assumed him to be Malfoy because an extremely greasy boy with a large hooked nose was cradling his fingers and cussing silently under his breath.
"James Potter and these are my best mates Remus Lupin and Sirius Black how may we be of service to you gentle men," asked James in a chipper voice.
"By giving back that little butterball you are hiding and then apologizing for breaking my fingers" said the greasy boy.
"Sorry didn't catch your names," said Sirius a bit sarcastically.
The almost albino stepped forward and said "I'm Luciouse Malfoy and this is Servos Snape this is our first year, is it yours?"
"Yes it is," said Remus and then he continued " We don't like the fowl stench that is radiating from the door so if you two would please leave we'd be much obliged!"
Snape scowled and Malfoy drew his wand but James and Sirius were faster they both fired the Jelly leg jinx and Snape and Malfoy wobbled away down the hall.
"Wow" said Peter "How did you learn that" he asked in awe as he stared after Snape and Malfoy.
"Well we've spent some time ummmmmmmmmm pondering over my parents books," said Sirius who then let out a bark-like laugh.
"What's your name?" asked James.
"My name is Peter it's my first year," said Peter.
The boys spent the rest of the journey trying to teach Peter all the basic Jinxes and Hexes that they knew. It wasn't going well.
LILY AND ASH
"LILY" Ash screamed as she saw her friend standing near platform 9. "How do we get into Platform 9 ¾ I've already asked the station master and he just laughed." She said.
"Well that girl over there has an Owl so we could ask her" reasoned Lily as she pointed to the girl with black hair and brown eyes.
"OK" said Ash as she and Lily headed towards the girl.
"Hi" said Lily "We're first years at the school to so we were wondering if you tell us how to get platform 9 ¾?"
"Ya no problem" said the girl "Just walk straight at that barrier" she said pointing at the barrier between platforms 9 and 10.
Lily and ash looked at her like she was crazy but followed her instructions and ran one at a time through the barrier and were amazed to find themselves in front of a large scarlet steam engine that said "Hogwarts Express" in shiny gold lettering.
"Wow" said Ash as they boarded the train and went in search of a compartment. After about fifteen minutes of searching they found an empty compartment at the end of the train. The girl they had met followed them and Ash said, "hey who are you"
"My name is Alice, Alice Pruwet," said the girl "I am a first year too."
"How did you know about the way onto the train?" asked Lily
"I'm pureblood so I know all about Hogwarts" she replied "don't worry you probably know as much as the rest of the first years" she said when she noticed the worried looks on their faces. Alice continued to explain Hogwarts and the rest of the wizarding world to Ash and Lily as the pulled to a halt at the Hogsmead.
The trip across the lake went smoothly for the first years except for when Frank Longbottom fell into the lake everyone got a good laugh at that but especially a group of four in a boat on the other side of the Fleet. Lily swore that she saw James Potter from her camp but quickly dismissed the Idea. They arrived at the great hall and watched in fascination as an old battered hat sang a song from a stool. Soon the Sorting began and a lady who had introduced herself as Professor McGonagall called out the first name…. "SIRIUS BLACK" Ash and Lily's mouths dropped and the just stared as the boy whom was at their summer camp appeared and the disappeared under the hat. A few minutes later the hat screamed "GRYFINDOR!" there were a lot of gasps from the table decked out in green and silver and loud cheers from the Gryfindor as Sirius took a seat at the table. After many more names Professor McGonagall called out "Lily Evans" this time Sirius and James gasped but there was no mistaking the fiery redhead. After a minute the hat screamed "GRYFINDOR" and Lily joined the table while she was cheered for and save two seats. Remus Lupin, Peter Petigrew, Frank Longbottom and Alice Pruwet (SP?) were all sorted into Gryfindor while Severus Snape and Luciuse Malfoy were sorted into Slytherin. Other people were sorted into Huffelpuff and Ravenclaw and finally Professor McGonagall called out "ASHLEY PAITON" and Ash disappeared under the hat and it called out "GRYFINDOR" Lily cheered as Sirius had his mouth wide open while he was sitting next to Peter (DIRTY F A wipe) and Remus. Professor McGonagall called out "JAMES POTTER" and surly the messy haired boy from camp walk onto stage but before the hat touched his head it screamed "GRYFINDOR" and then the sorting finished. After Dinner they all returned to their respective dormitories but in both the First year dormitories four people who never expected to see the two members of the opposite sex were in total shock.
