Chapter 2

The compartment door opened with a bang, and was shut quickly by a boy. He leaned on the wooden frame, breathing slightly like he had Asthma. His dirty blonde hair and tired eyes instantly gave him away, Remus Lupin.

Lily smiled, "Why hello Remus."

He smiled slightly, "-Hi, can I sit here?" He asked while taking a seat next to her.

"Yeah-- where are your fellow morons?"

Remus rolled his eyes, "There not morons Lily, maybe Sirius a bit (Airsha glared and Remus just shrugged) they're out playing pranks on the Slytherins." He said pulling out a book from his bag.

"I would have never guessed," Lily said sarcastically; Remus choose to ignore the comment and kept reading, Giant's and Goblin's Destinations II.

Suddenly the door opened quickly, and the three marauders jumped in and slammed the door. James Potter looked up and smiled at Lily, she gave him a do-what-you-want-to-but-leave-me-alone look; James ignored this and sat across from her and held her hand.

Lily looked as if he had a disease, and quickly released her hands form his grip.

"Keep your filthy hands away from me," she growled.

"I don't think I can do that, my Lily flower." He said while flashing his best smile at her.

"What a cheesy line.. really pathetic, Potter." She said, while inching away from him as he leaned forward to her.

"You know you like it cheesy." He said grinning widely.

She huffed, "Cut the bull shit Potter, and get to the point."

"Have you read my letter yet, by any chance?" He asked.

"No I haven't, and am going to burn it later; it's going to make the common room nice and toasty."

James frowned as Sirius laughed, and took a seat next to Airsha who blushed furiously.

"Oh good gawd Air! Get a grip, it's a bloody Marauder!" Lily hissed through gritted teeth.

"US Marauders are pretty sexy, if I do say myself." James said grinning.

Lily snorted, "Yeah, you think you are," she said while crossing her arms.

"Well then Miss Evans, why do you watch me practice my seeker skills on Sundays without my shirt on?" He grinned at her; he knew he caught her in the act.

Lily opened her mouth to say something, as the others watched this argument go on,.

"Well?" He asked the speechless Lily.

Lily fumed, "Come on Air, let's go change into our robes."

Lily grabbed Airsha away from Sirius and dragged her out of the compartment. When they were away from the compartment, Air pulled away from her grip, " Yeah, Miss Lily, why do you watch him on Sundays?" Her friend said smiling.

Lily glared, "I don't, and why in the world would I watch the idiot idol in the first place?" She groaned.

"Because you like him, and you enjoy the attention he gives you." Her friend smirked.

The train hit a bump and both girls fell to the floor in a heap. "I never liked him, and never will. I will die the day I actually give him a chance, and that will never happen." She replied while brushing her jeans off.

"Yeah, yeah. Let's go am getting hungry."

Lily rolled her eyes, "That's all you ever think about; Boys and food."

Airsha rubbed her flat tummy, "Stop the complaining and put your rear in gear, I'm hungry!" She whined.

Lily laughed and they walked over to another compartment to change. The girls slipped into their school robes and walked back their first compartment: Lily wanted to find another, but Airsha dragged her back to the same one with the boys in it. Lily opened the door and haulted; James was pulling off his shirt, which showed his smooth muscular chest. Lily could not help but stare and James smiled at her, "Like what you see Evans?"

"It's not like you've never seen me without a shirt on, Lily," James grinned at her; Lily scowled and sat down next to Remus and Peter. Peter was shoving down chocolate frogs by the second, and Lily watched in digust. She only inched closer to Remus when a frog jumped out of his mouth. She turned her attention to Remus who was still reading.

"What are you reading?" Lily asked politely, looking at the page he was on.

"101 ways for James to annoy Lily." He mumbled: Lily laughed and James pretended to be deaf at the moment.

After an hour or so, the sky began to darken and students started to fall asleep. Airsha was on Sirius's shoulder, smiling as she slept and Sirius had his arm around her waist. James fell asleep while reading a comic book-- so typical. Peter was sleeping with his head back on a pillow, and Remus was dozing side ways on the seat. Lily smiled and she suddenly felt pain, she touched her lips, they were dry. She checked her pockets for Chap Stick, but none was there. She groaned, she knew Airsha had some in her jacket but it was under James's hand.

She groaned louder; why did everything she did have to do with Potter? She slowly got up: making sure she did not wake anyone and sat in a seat next to James. She slowly, piece by piece tugged Air's jean jacket free. She smiled as she opened the pocket, and dug through it. Mascara.. Blush.. Eyeliner.. Blue eye shadow.. Cherry red lipstick-- Wait! Cherry red lipstick? Lily looked at James, and she ginned wickedly. She grabbed the lipstick, pulled off the cap and twisted up the lipstick tube..
