They stayed that way for about five minutes until Remus cleared his throat
loudly. Both Lily and James jumped and looked over at the two.
Sirius raised both his eyebrows and said in a patronizing voice as though he were talking to small children, "Wanna tell us what's going on?"
James smiled widely and said as both he and Lily sat down next to each other, "Guys this is Lily Evans."
They both gave James a 'duh!' look.
"She was my very best friend when I lived in the muggle world for three years." James went on, ignoring the looks from Remus and Sirius. Lily was just grinning like crazy next to him. Then James turned his attention back to her.
"It's great to see you. I even ran into your sister." James said.
"Petunia? You ran into Petunia? Ooooh. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. What happened?" Lily asked.
"She scared the living daylights out of me. First, she yelled at me for almost hitting her with my trolley. An accident of course. Then I gave her 'the' look." James said, looking at Sirius and Remus at the last part because he didn't think Lily knew what 'the' look was. At that, Lily, Remus, and Sirius burst out laughing.
"What?" James asked, indignantly.
"Jamsie, after all these years you haven't figured out that trick only works on adults. I remember the first time you tried it on us. You couldn't even keep a straight face because of the confused looks we were giving you. Peter even asked if you were alright because you look constipated." Sirius managed to wheeze out. When Sirius said the last part, Lily was crying tears of mirth.
"Oh come on. I was only eight when I did that. You're telling me you still remember that? My sister must have taught me wrong when she showed me how to do it. It 'was' supposed to work on anyone, she even told me that!" James said over the laughter.
Lily stopped laughing for a moment, hearing the last part of what he said. "What do you mean your sister taught you that? 'I' taught you that when we were 4! Remember Petunia was on another one of her rampages after we rigged that bucket of hot fudge to pour over her when we woke up?"
The three boys looked at her, not laughing anymore. Remus and Sirius looked at her in awe. James stared at her, looking as though he just solved a 10 year problem. "You're right! I totally blocked that out. I thought Melly taught me that."
"'You' came up with 'the' look! I just 'have' to do this!" Sirius got up and shook her hand hyperly. (A/N- is that a word? Oh well)"Thank you sooo much. That has got me out of so many problems with my parents."
Lily burst out laughing again. The others soon followed her example. By the end of the train ride, the four, well five if you include Peter who was watching the rest talk and joke around for the whole ride, they were all as close as they could possibly get. Remus and Sirius both unofficially named themselves Lily's 'brothers' and it seemed as though they had known her as long as James had. This wasn't a bond that would ever be broken.
