Chapter 2
Here's my next chapter, enjoy!
Lily, Zezly, Blair, Willow and Ebony had just finished changing into their robes.
"Who does he think he is? I don't have to tell him anything! Especially stuff about my personal life!" Lily vented
"Well, have you ever kissed a boy before?" Willow asked
"Of course not!" Lily exclaimed, "Or at least not how he meant…have you?"
"Uh…yea" Willow looked to the floor to hide the blush on her face
"Sirius?" Blair suggested
"Maybe" Willow blushed harder
"Well how have you" Ebony asked Lily
"How have I what?" Lily asked
"Kissed a boy" Ebony said plainly
"On the cheek" Lily said quietly
"Well that's okay! I've never kissed a boy!" Zezly tried to cheer her up
The girls stared at Zezly, not believing a word she just said
"Oh really" Willow lifted an eyebrow
"No, I lied. I just wanted to make Lily feel better" Zezly said
"Thanks Zezly" Lily smiled wryly
The train slowed to a stop.
"We're here!" Ebony smiled
Excitement filled the train.
Lily sighed, she had promised herself that she wasn't going to let James ruin this day for her. But he did, he always did. Every time Lily was in a good mood James was there to trash it.
The girls grabbed their trunks and got off the train. They then climbed into an empty carriage and waited for the ride up to Hogwarts.
"Do you have room for one more?" A male voice asked
Lily, who thought it was James, said, "No Potter we…"
She stopped herself when she saw who it was. Lily had never seen him before. The boy was slightly tan and muscular with light brown hair and gorgeous blue eyes.
"What she means to say is that there is plenty of room" Zezly responded as the rest of the girls drooled over his beauty.
The boy smiled then climbed in and sat down in a spot between Blair and the side of the carriage.
"Hi, my name is Sean Wood" The boy smiled
"Zezly Peterson"
"Willow Garret"
"Blair Zambini"
"Ebony Young"
"Lily Evans" The girls introduced
"It's nice to meet you!" Sean said
From the look on the girls' faces they were happy to meet him too.
"Are you new here?" Blair asked
"Yes, I moved here from Scotland" Sean said as the carriage began to move
Now that he said where he was from the girls noticed his cute
Scottish accent. They were quiet for the rest of the way up.
As they climbed the steps to enter Hogwarts they were joined by James, Sirius, Remus and Peter.
"Hi Evans!" James said brightly
Lily ignored him and kept on walking.
"Oh come one! You can't not talk to me! No girl can not talk to me! It's impossible!" James said arrogantly
There still was no response from Lily.
"You know I will keep on bugging you until you talk to me. I will talk to you so much that you will dream about me. Not that that would be a bad thing…"James trailed off
"I simply have no reason or want to talk to you" Lily said
She then began to walk faster hoping that James would get the hint to leave her alone. But of course he didn't.
"Look Evans, I'm sorry about what happened on the train" James said sweetly
"I'll believe that once you can call me by my first name" Lily laughed thinking that he wouldn't dare
Without knowing what was happening James grabbed Lily's hand, pulled her out of the group of eager students and pulled her to a secluded place where they could be alone.
Lily's hand was soft and petite. James was afraid that her hand would break if he squeezed too hard.
Lily stared at James still trying to figure out what he was doing.
"Lily, from the bottom of my heart I am truly sorry" James said in a charming yet serious voice
Lily stared at James in disbelief.
"You…you called me Lily" Lily said in slight confusion, he had never called her that before
James smiled
Lily pulled her hand out of James'. James instantly wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.
"What do you think your doing!" Lily said shocked
"Sh…" James said seriously
James then leaned in to kiss her. Lily quickly pushed on his chest to escape from his grasp then ran to catch up with her friends.
"What happened to you?" Zezly asked
"I got lost in the crowd" Lily shrugged
Lily noticed that Sean was missing.
"Where'd Sean go?" Lily asked
"He went to get sorted" Ebony answered
"Oh" Lily said
The girls pushed their way through the crowd and took a seat at the Gryffindor table. Ebony, Blair and Lily sat on one side and Zezly and Willow sat at the other.
"So…what do you guys think of Sean?" Ebony grinned
"He's a cutie!" Blair and Lily said at the same time making them laugh, Zezly and Willow nodded in agreement.
"Now you girls don't need to be talking about me behind my back. You can simply say anything to my face" James smirked as him, Sirius, Remus and Peter walked over to the girls
"Oh, bug off Potter" Lily said dryly
James grinned then sat down next to Lily.
"This seat is taken" Lily said panicked
"Oh really? By who?" James tested
Lily looked around desperately. She saw Sean walk into the Great Hall.
'He better be in Gryffindor' Lily thought
"Sean! Over here!" Lily waved
Sean smiled then headed towards them. Lily pushed James over so that there was an empty spot next to her so Sean could sit down.
"I'm in Gryffindor!" Sean sat down
"YAY!" Zezly exclaimed
Sirius sat down next to Willow.
"Hey" Sirius said
Willow glanced at Sirius
"Hi" Willow said quickly before turning back to Sean
Sirius and James stared at each other. They exchanged looked at clearly stated 'What does he have that we don't?'. But they weren't about to give up. If there was one thing that James and Sirius liked more then pranking people it was challenges.
The sorting was started after the hat sung its song.
"So Willow how about you and I go find a broom closet?" Sirius whispered
"How about not" Willow whispered back
"Sh…" James said
An image of Lily in James' flashed through Lily's mind. It had happened so fast that it seemed as if it were a dream. But then again Lily would never in a million years dream something like that. Lily shook her head to rid of this thought.
After the sorting finally ended Dumbledore stood up.
"Let the feast begin!" As Dumbledore's voice rang through the Great Hall the Tables filled with tons of food.
Of course James and Sirius began stuffing their faces.
"Mahn, I fergoot ow good thiz fod es!" Sirius said with a mouth full of food
"Didn't your mother ever teach you not to talk with your mouth full Blake?" Blair asked
"Nope!" Sirius smiled, he had a piece of chicken stick in his teeth.
The girls laughed at his stupidity,
"Uh Padfoot…" James pointed to his teeth
"I know! I put it there!" Sirius exclaimed
James could tell by the look on his friends face that he really didn't know it was there.
After the feast was over Lily and James, who were the Gryffindor Prefects, began to lead the first years to the Gryffindor common room.
"I can handle this Potter. You can go catch up with your friends" Lily said at they climbed the stairs
"You and I both know that you really want me to stay" Potter grinned
"Grow up!" Lily rolled her eyes
"Welcome back!" The Fat Lady greeted them
"Animagus" Lily said
"What!" James eyes widened.
"I would've at least thought you would've known the password Potter" Lily said as the portrait whole swung opened an revealed the already busy common room
After explaining everything to the first years Lily walked over to her friends who were sitting down on the floor by the fire talking.
"Well, I'm beat. I'll see you guys later" Lily sighed
"Okay" Zezly said
Lily turned and walked up to their dormitory. She quickly got ready for bed then laid down. She closed her eyes in hopes that tomorrow will be better.
James too went up to his dorm by himself. He opened his trunk. On top laid a small silver box. James picked it up and sat down on the edge of his bed then opened it. Inside rested a sliver chained necklace. On the chain hung a purple crystal. James began to turn it in his hands. He had bought it for Lily a year ago. He planned on giving it to her once she agreed to go on a date with him.
James quickly put the necklace away as the door opened and Sean walked in.
"Hi" Sean said brightly
'Great' James thought
"Hi" James said quietly
"Your James right?" Sean asked
James nodded
"I'm Sean Wood" Sean said as he held out his hand
James looked at Sean
"Yea I heard" James said, ignoring Sean's hand
James then laid down, buried himself into his blankets and fell asleep.
