The Hogwarts Express

" Oh jeez it's Potter.", sighed Lily.

Lily took both arms on the trolley and started to push it to the line.

"Lily!", someone shouted from the line of people behind her. "Lily!", it shouted again.

Lily turned around and before she could even she anything she was engulfed into a big bear hug and a mass of straight black hair. Instantly, Lily knew who this was.

" Urghh, Arabella ger off me." grunted Lily as she wiped dust off of her. Arabella got off, but reluctantly and a wide smile spread out on her face. "Lily it's so great to see you." she said cheerfully. " Hey Arabella, what's up? You look great. How was your summer?" asked Lily.

"You know the usual. How was yours?"replied Arabella.

" Same, but this year Petunia was constantly at Vernon's so I had the whole house to myself."answered Lily.

"Come, let's go see Sirius." called Arabella.

" No way, "Lily said pulling Arabella back, "Potter's there."

" Oh come on Lily, it's not like your going to see him, you are just going because you are simply following me and I'm going there. Now come on."

And with that Arabella grabbed hold of Lily's arm and yanked her towards the line of waiting students. They headed to the middle of the line where two boys were standing. One had a look of disgust on his face and the other was jumping for joy.

The girls stopped at their destination with two loud clanks from their trolleys and owls screaming at them. Almost immediately after Arabella parked the trolley, she jumped onto Sirius. Lily made sure both trolleys would not roll off.

Arabella was already off of Sirius when Lily looked up. "Potter, Black."Lily greeted formally with a light nod to each of them. And as if on cue, a tall sandy brown haired boy and a medium height brown haired girl stepped forward to meet them. Danielle Edwards was a medium heighted girl with brown hair. Her eyes were an amazing blue and her smile showed perfect white, straight teeth. Remus Lupin, a 6'0 ft tall boy with sandy brown hair and grey eyes, was another one of the group called Marauders. The Marauders consisted of James, being the ringleader, Sirius, Remus, and Peter. James, Sirius, and Remus were all tall, dashing, smart, and popular. Peter on the other hand, was the odd one of the group. He was short, chubby, dumb, and had little friends. He had blond hair and watery blue eyes. Hardly any girls liked him and if they did they usually used him to get to the other three. Today Peter had been with his girlfriend Margey, who was just as daft and ugly as him. The Maraudars usually caused trouble, making pranks on most of the Slytherins, especially Snape and Malfoy. All the girls adored them except for the Slytherins and even though they caused much trouble they still had time to make good grades. Remus was also the only one Lily could stand. They had been prefects together and Lily thought he was responsible enough.

Remus came over to the girls and gave them each a peck on the cheek and then walked over to the guys to talk about their summers. Danielle did the same with the guys and then ran back to the girls to give them each one of her giant backbreaking, can't-breath hugs.

Both groups talked to each other about their summers until it was their turn to run through the barriers. Sirius and Arabella went through first followed by Remus and Danielle. After making sure everything was in order and nothing had been left or forgotten Lily and james went through.

Once all six were safely through the barrier, they put their luggage in the baggage line and headed onto the train in search for an empty compartment. They found one right in the middle of the train that was completely empty. They filed in slowly and each took a seat. The six filed in and sat down with Lily and James sitting across from each other on the aisle side. Sirius sat next to James while Arabella sat in his lap. Next to Lily was Danielle and Remus took a seat next to her by the window.

They all sat down and a silence fell upon them. They all just sat there in silence as if they all knew what the other was saying. Finally Sirius, one who could not take silence, decided to break it.

"Since I am the bravest one here," Sirius said in a superman pose," I think we should play truth or dare." Everyone agreed except for lily.

"No, I don't want to. I don't feel like it. I think i'll just watch and read a book."

"What Evans, too afraid to play." James teased.

" No, it's because I don't feel like playing." Lily retorted.

" Oh whatever Evans, you're just to afraid to play. C'mon just ditch the book and play." James teased again testing his luck.

"Am not." Lily repeated.

"Are too." James teased again.

" Am not." Lily said, a little louder.

"Are too." James said louder than Lily.

"Am not."

"Are too."

Lily finally could not take it. "Am not!" she shouted so loud that many students even stuck their heads out of the windows.

" Fine then prove it and play." James replied.

" I will, Potter." Lily said her eyes as cold as ice.

" Great, now that we have that all settled, why don't we actually get started on playing the game." Sirius stated.

" Okay now whose going to go first?" Arabella questioned.

" Why don't you go first Sirius since you suggested the idea." implied Remus.

"Alright then, so Remmie truth or dare?"

"Do you even have to ask, duh marauder hello dare!"

"Okay hmmm." Sirius thought hard, something Sirius naturedly would not do. "Ha, ha, ha, okay here's what you have to do. Go up to Malfoy and give him a wet sloppy kiss on the lips."

" No way, Sirius I thought you were my friend."Remus said anxiously, thinking he would really have to do it.

" I am, but think about it Remmie. I love Arabella, James and Evans would've killed me and i would never make Dani kiss Malfoy cause that is mean and besides I hate that bastard, foul-smelling, pureblood, dark arted..........So you were my only choice. And I wouldn't not do this because I've got to see this."

"Glad that you thought through this dare before you said it Black. I'm impressed, I didn't even know you had a brain." Said Lily sarcastically.

" Well Sirius, what if I don't do this dare then." Remus said cutting back in.

" But Remmie, I thought you were a marauder. You're supposed to be strong and brave and and and promising." Dani whined.

"I am all those things but doing this is like suicide and you cannot kill yourself, marauder law." Remus said wisely.

" Oooooooooooooh Ooooooooooh, I have a brilliant idea. Why don't we play strip truth or dare! When you don't want to answer a truth or do a dare then you have to take off one piece of clothing." Lily squealed.

"Wow Evans didn't know you were that desperate to see three hot guys with their shirts off." James remarked.

" Ha ha, very funny Potter. Now I know you are truly gay. You said three hot guys, meaning Remmie and Black saying it as if you checked them out too. He he he." Lily smart-assed back.

"Ooooooooh, someone was told." was heard from Remus and Sirius.

"Can we please get on with the game."pouted Arabella.

"Yes we can, and I'm sorry Sirius but today is not your lucky day."mumbled Remus as he removed his shirt shyly, revealing a nice toned stomach.

"Damn" muttered Dani as she saw the nice toned stomach.

She thought nobody had heard her but little did she know that Lily had exactly been leaning over that minute and heard. "So you like Remus don't you?" whispered Lily into her ear. Lily saw Danielle's cheecks turn a light shade of red and knew she had been right.

But back in the louder world, Remus had chosen Bella to be his next victim. "So Bella truth or dare?" Remus asked using her old nickname. "How about truth?" Bella decided.

"Okay so how far have you and Sirius gotten to?" Remus asked.

"Remus out of all the Marauders, you I cannot believe this. I thought you had so much more sense than this." Bella said as she removed her socks. "Hmmmm let me see who my next victim is." she thought. "How bout Lily."

Bella had just begun to think of a dare when suddenly a loud voice cracked over the loud intercom of the Hogwarts Express. "May the Head Boy and Girl Please head to the front compartment. Lily had been saved by the bell or more like saved by the intercom. "Thank God!"Lily thought to herself.

"Alright guys I gotta go. C'mon Remus." Lily said happily as if her dream finally came true...it had. Six years of hard work had definetely paid off for this.

"Actually Lily I was not appointed this year for Head Boy." Remus said with no emotion or didn't show any.

"What?! Then who is?"Lily stormed.

"Wait Evans, did you just say that you were Head Girl this year." James asked.

"No Potter, I've only been saying that for the last ten miutes." Lily said completely furious.

"Holy Shit!"James exclaimed.

"Why what happened?"Lily asked curiously.

James said nothing only pulled out his robe to show a brand new shining head Boy badge pinned onto his inner shirt. "Holy crap!" Lily said as she covered her mouth. "This cannot be happening." she thought. Silence filled the compartment once again until James said,"I guess we better go."

"Yeah let's go." said Lily stepping out of the open compartment door held by James.

The door closed and once Lily and James were out of earshot, the compartment filled with noise. "So how long do you think it will take for them to notice what just happened." Sirius questioned.

Everyone thought quietly for a moment before they all muttered,"Before they reach the compartment, for sure."

''Which one do you think is going to come out alive?" Remus asked. All of them thought now even more harder selecting out the pro's and con's of each person. Finally after a while they muttered the name Lily.

"Why don't we just continue on with the game?" Bella supplied.

Everyone agreed and the game went on.

Meanwhile both Lily and James had been walking down the long pathways of the train. Finally, reaching the front of the train, together Lily and James saw the special compartment that was covered in Gryffindor colors. And placed in the middle of the door was a bronze plate with words engraved into it. it said:

James Potter and Lily Evans

Head Boy and Girl Year of 1977

Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Both stared in awe at the palate for a while until James hand started to move to the knob. And just as his hand brushed against the doorknob, a small crevice appeared between the two doors. The crevice got bigger and bigger until the door was open wide ajar.

They lifted their eyes only to meet with the familiar twinkling blue eyes that were covered by a pair of half spectacled glasses that could only belong to the one and only Professor Dumbledore.

"Good Morning, Mr. Potter, Ms. Evans." he said with a slight nod to each student.

"Good Morning, Professor Dumbledore."replied Lily and James.

"Oh please do come in." Dumbledore answered stepping aside.

Inside Lily and James got the full view of the compartment. There was a whole table full of muggle and wizard food and a fireplace burning next to it. There were two couches and on each side of the room there were tables and chairs for the prefect. The room had also been designed with Gryffindor spirit as the room was decorated in red and gold with lions everywhere.

"Good Morning, Ms. Evans and Mr. Potter." greeted Professor McGonnagall.

"Good Morning Professor." they peeped.

"Now I know that you two have had bad past experiences, but i hope that you guys can set aside your differences." said McGonnagall cheerfully. You could tell she had been excited about this year. It was a great honor to her that both head students had come from her head of house.

"I chose both of you to become heads I believe you will be great ones and wish you the best but remember even though being heads mean a lot of advantages don't forget it can be taken away."inquired Professor Dumbledore with a slight stare at James. James flushed red as the professor continued giving passwords and such. He then ended with a farewell of a wave of a hand and both professors disappeared.

"Come on lets get busy. We have a lot to do."Lily said in a bossy tone.

"Why do I have to listen to you!" James exclaimed in a I-want -to -annoy-you-tone.

"James, do you remember what Dumbledore said? Well hey if you want Snape to take over or something then......................" Lily said but was interrupted by someone plopping down next to her.

Lily and James walked out of the head compartment and headed back to the other one. The meeting had gone well, Lily and James had been civil and except some horrible Slytherins the meeting had pretty much gone the way both of them had expected.

The others had been surprised to see both Lily and James both arrive back together with all limbs still attached to them and they were also not bickering. But, both Lily and James stared in horror as they saw a large amount of clothing on the floor.

"So how did the meeting go?'' asked Dani.

"Why the hell is there that many clothes on the floor."Lily exclaimed.

"Oh well you see we had been playing truth or dare before you guys came in and in kind of got maybe a little out of hand." Remus said slightly ashamed that even though he was a prefect he had still let this happen on the train.

"It's okay I was just wondering." Lily said mad at herself for bursting out loud like that.

"But now that you two are here you must each take five pieces of clothing off for the game to be fair." said a smirking Sirius.

"And the group will come together to decide on the ultimate dare for you guys." added Remus now normal with an evil laugh.

" What no way, ughh I hate you guys."replied a defeated James. He didn't even try because he knew Sirius and the others would eventually make them do it.

"Yep we know that's why you guys love us so much." said Bella sweetly.

The rest had already bustled out, leaving Lily and James wondering. About five minutes later all four students came back in with a smile plastered on to their face. Both Lily and James now were almost completely naked. They stood there now even more worried by their friends smiling faces that did not even for a second show them any kind of assurance that it would be alright.

"Nice thong Evans." Sirius cat-called out.

"How dare you Black!" yelled an infuriated Lily as he continued to check her out.

A loud smack followed by a cru of pain ensued moments later as a hand from behind Sirius reached out and smacked the back of his head. The smack had come from none other than the one the only Arabella Figg.

"Hello remember I'm your girlfriend." Bella shouted in anger and speaking to Sirius as if he was a mentally challenged person.

"Sorry." Sirius whined through a wave of pain.

Wanting to skip the next show of PDA, Remus called out loud enough to disrupt the couple,"Moving on.", Lily, James your dare is for the both of you to kiss on the lips and french for two minutes.

"No way."

"Hell no." came out in strangled cries right after.

"Anyone but Evans, please I'll even kiss Snape I don't care." begged James.

"Don't be so sure of yourself Potter. I don't even want to look at you let alone kiss you." said Lily.

"I thought you guys were my friends."

And many more of these complaints followed on with bargains and deals. Sirius had almost been bribed into a certain deal but the others made sure to pull him back. They resisted each and every one until finally James and Lily couldn't come up with any more bargains and were worn out and just totally gave in. Everyone then quieted down at the defeat and waited for Remus to give them the signal to start.

He finally sent the signal and both teenagers leaned close together until their noses were touching and they closed their eyes and lips touched. Not soon after they had their tongues in each others mouths. The kiss had first given them both a shock but then a pleasureable feeling came along. But both Lily and James were so intent on getting this over with that they though the slightest of it. Time went up and both pulled apart abruptly.

James transfiguered a shirt into a toothbrush and immediately began scrubbing. Lily conjured up a sink and rinsed her mouth quickly.

"So how was it?" said Sirius once again smirking.

Together Lily and James glared at Sirius before James replied," Lily you are a horrible kisser."

" What! I'm good and for your information Potter I wasn't trying, I'm surprised you did." Lily retorted.

Suddenly, the intercom went on once again and it announced that they would be arriving shortly. The conversation dropped as all six Gryffindors placed their minds toward the new year.
