Chapter 1: The Journey to Hogwarts

It was a bright sunny day on platform 9 and ¾. A girl with shoulder length red hair and sparkling green eyes that looked like emeralds was impatiently standing near the end of the train. She was dressed in a baby yellow tee, which hugged her curves. Her flat stomach was slightly exposed between the shirt and her dark blue hip huggers. This girl's name was Lily Evans. It appeared as if she was waiting for her friend Allison. She paced slowly back and forth in a straight line. Then after 10 minutes of waiting, she pulled out her cell phone and irritably dialed in her friend's number. While the line was connecting she impatiently tapped her foot, bit her lip and looked at the sky rolling her eyes. When the connection didn't go through she slammed the phone and took a seat on the platform.

Unknown to Lily, one young man was carefully watching her every move. A handsome, well-built young man was staring at her with longing and love clearly shining through dark hazel eyes. His designer blue jeans were casually draped over black tennis shoes. A red and white shirt showed his muscular body shaped over years of Quidditch. This young man's name was James Potter. He watched her pace back and forth, biting her lip, and looking at the sky. Oh, how James wished he could place his lips upon her raspberry red mouth. How he wished he could hold her in his arms run his hands through her beautiful hair. He signed wistfully as he realized that she hated him with a passion. James sighed wishing that she would realize that he played pranks just so she would acknowledge his presence.

James' reverie was broken by his best friend, Sirius Black, who slapped him on the head.

" Why did you do that Padfoot," complained James

" You were staring a little to hard at her face Jamey. Or should I say her chest." Sirius slyly said.

" I WAS NOT STARING AT HER CHEST! God, she's too good for me. I wish she would become my friend at least." Sighed James.

Sirius looked over at James and sighed in pity. Sirius Black was tall and devastatingly handsome with a body to match. His hair fell across his forehead with a grace James would never achieve. Girls fell at his feet whenever he flashed them his megawatt smile. Not that James was any less handsome. Girls swooned at his messy hair and eight-pack and would give all their money just to kiss him. James and Sirius were the two most eligible bachelors at Hogwarts. Sirius felt his mood go down slightly as he looked at James. James had once again taken to staring at Lily with a sad longing in his eyes. Sirius knew that this was a huge blow to James. James had never been used to being rejected and he knew that the amount of passion that Lily hated James with tore James to the core.

However, James' reverie was again ruined by the arrival of his last friend; Remus Lupin. Remus Lupin was also good looking but his illness made him weaker and frail than his two best friends. Remus has soft brown hair that flopped on his forehead. Remus was the least mischievous of the Marauders and the one Marauder Lily respected. As soon as Remus arrived, Allison too arrived, the bell clanged, and they climbed the train to Hogwarts.
