Lily Evans had just said goodbye to her family and went aboard the Hogwarts
Express. In front of her she could see Ruth, and rushed up to say hi.
"Ruth, how are you?"
"Lily, how good to see you. Finally, it's been a long summer. Why didn't you write?"
"I did write. Did you not get them?"
"No I didn't. Isn't that strange?"
"Yes it is."
"I think I've found a space." Ruth said as she led Lily into the very last compartment.
Lily was never so glad to see a familiar face, spending the whole summer studying for the NEWTs. "How was your summer?" She asked.
"It was fantastic, absolutely marvelous. How was yours?" Ruth asked.
Lily was about to answer when the door slid open. Standing in the doorway was James Potter and his gang of Marauders Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew.
James Potter and Lily had an odd history and relationship. Before the end of last year, she had completely hated him. In her opinion, he was arrogant, big-headed, shallow, and everything she despised. But last year, he had changed for some odd reason, and now, they were perfectly good friends.
"Good afternoon ladies, mind if we join you?" He said.
"No, of course not." Lily moved over to give them space to sit.
When he sat down next to her, she noticed his Head Boy badge. "I see you've been made head boy. Congratulations." Lily said.
"Thank you, I see you've been made head girl. Congratulations to you also." James smiled.
"Oh that reminds me. You all remember my sister Jia don't you? She's in the 5th year and has just been made a prefect." Ruth said to Lily.
"Oh that's fantastic news," Lily said. "I think I ought to go and congratulate her." With that, Lily and Ruth left to go find Jia. When they had closed the door, James sat staring at it for a while.
"What's wrong with you my friend?" asked Remus.
"Oh, nothing." James said as he snapped back.
That was a lie. James had been thinking of Lily all summer. For some reason, her red hair, brilliant green eyes, and sparkling smile had been on his mind for ever. Was he in love with her? No he couldn't be, he thought. There were so many reasons for him not to love her. They were friends; it would be crazy for him to be in love with her. Plus, Lily only thinks of him as a friend, it would be horrible to be rejected. What if it doesn't work out? Their friendship would be ruined forever. James shook his head. This was hardly the time to be thinking about Lily Evans. The train was quickly approaching Hogwarts, and a new year was beginning.
(Thanks to all the reviewers. I made them friends even thought I knew she disliked him. Because of the confusion, I edited it. In the first version of this chapter, they've always been friends. Now they are still friends, but Lily used to hate James, but they've become friends. If you didn't read the first version, ignore this.)
