A.n ok. It is 1pm right now and I am exhausted. That is why this chapter is short and not that great. Please read and review. Give me ideas etc.
The train raced away from the station and Lily could see her parents waving forms slowly disappear into the distance. Great. Another year at Hogwarts is about to begin.
Lily was sitting in a compartment with her best friends Jamie and Ellie. She was reflecting on the year about to come.
Lily Evans was starting her sixth year at Hogwarts School. She was a prefect and got along well with most people she met. With an exception. The Marauders. This group contained four boys and sure Remus was Okay and so was Peter and if you caught Sirius in a good mood was a very nice person but the one and only human being on this entire world Lily hated was James Potter. He was the most arrogant, stuck up pain in the arse lily had ever come across. And her friends thought he was hot. HOT? James wasn't ugly. Lily would admit this but hot?
Lily and James never really got on well. She thought he was arrogant. He thought she was a snob. And James's favourite thing to do was bug Lily (and Snape). Basically whenever lily saw James she would promptly turn around and head in the opposite direction. The only problem was that James was in the same house as lily so he attended all her classes, sat at the same table for meals and shared the same common room. The chances that Lily would ever be free from his menacing were when she finished school, which, thankfully, was in two years time.
Lily looked at her friends who were quietly talking. Jamie was sitting directly across from her. Jamie was a strong independent girl and many people envied this quality. She had a commanding appearance about her and when she entered the room the atmosphere would change dramatically. Ellie on the other hand was a fair skinned, quiet girl. In class, when she was asked a question, she would whisper the answer; terrified that if she got it wrong a blade would come down and decapitate her. Lily was a mixture of both. She was pretty and could have a very quick temper. She could roll off insults without battering an eyelid at whomever she was arguing with. James alone was the only person who could keep up with her in this sense.
While lily was thinking the compartment door opened and four figures stood in the doorway.
Lily looked up seeing the marauders 'shit.'
'Such a charming, well spoken girl' remarked Sirius with a nod in Lily's direction.
'Sorry. Hello Remus, Peter and Sirius. Did you all have a good holiday?'
'Hey, what about me?' came the voice of James.
Lilys look said it all. Don't mess with me.
James held his hands in the air as a sign of peace. 'I'll fight with you later'
'So… Jamie…how are you?' asked Sirius. It was fairly well known knowledge that Sirius liked Jamie and she liked him back but they were both afraid of commitment.
'Yeah it was Ok.' Replied Jamie burying her head in one of the textbooks, signalling the end of any conversation that could have taken place.
Remus looked over at Ellie. Their eyes met but no sound passed from their lips. Until Ellie stood up 'I need a drink,' she said quietly and bowing her head made her way out of the compartment. Remus watched her leave and then too made himself scarce.
James and Sirius sat down in the empty seats. 'Listen guys. This is not a good time to be talking to you.' Said Jamie placing her book down. 'We'll see you at the feast.'
'What if we don't want to leave?' asked James.
Jamie stood up and the air around her bristled with energy which was almost electrifying. This was Jamie's special talent. She had also taught Lily how to do it. Electrify the air.
The boys took the hint.
'I love you too Jamie,' said James as he stood up to leave. 'Lily,' he said in a way of saying good-bye. 'I look forward to our first fight.'
'I'll be ready,' said lily as they turned to leave.
James smirked at her and with that he, Sirius and Peter left, leaving Lily feeling annoyed and short tempered and hoping that the journey would soon end.
