A/N: REVIEW!

In the Marauder's compartment

"So Lily, any real reason why you came?" James asked in a playful voice. Lily just smiled. She had realized for the first time that Potter had called her Lily, not Evans.

"Well James," Lily said putting an emphasize on James, "I didn't fell like watching Natalia and Sirius snog. Is that a problem?" Lily replied watching a smile play over his face.

Remus and Peter just looked at each other. Remus spoke first. "Well, me and Peter have to er… go and er… find… yeah we have to go find something." Remus said nervously.

James and Lily burst out laughing. Remus and Peter were up to something, but at the moment neither seemed to care. Lily was sitting next to James, and they were sitting very close, but neither moved. Remus and Peter walked out the door.

"You know James, that was highly suspicious. You don't think they… planned that…" Lily said very shyly. She didn't know what to expect, but she didn't care, she was happy just to be in the company with James.

Lily though had some second thoughts about being alone with James. She really did like him, she always had, but she saw what he did to girls, and she didn't want to be one of them. Yet still, Lily didn't pull away when James grabbed her hand.

"Lily, I don't know what you are thinking, but I really do like you, and I don't know what my friends are up to. They're all acting weird, well maybe not Sirius, but I'm sure he will be soon…" James said drifting off in thought.

"What do you mean Sirius might be acting weird soon?" Lily asked with a questioning smile. She wouldn't admit it, but she was worried about Natalia. She didn't want her to be hurt.

"Sirius actually cares about Natalia. He wouldn't actually hurt her. Not intentionally at least, but sometimes he is a little… Well stupid. Lily, he feels the same way about Natalia as I do you." James said. He looked into her emerald green eyes and instead of her usual hate and anger, he saw you, and a little bit of worry. "Lily, I promise you, that if you let me have one chance with you, then I'll never hurt you, it's the only chance I need, I promise Lily Evans." James said and she didn't pull away, but instead leaned into him.

"James, this is all so sudden. I've always liked you a lot, but I don't want to end up like you're other girl friends, the 'shag and go' crew I mean. I'm not like that James…" Lily replied sadly.

"Well that's a good thing, because I wouldn't care for you as much as I do if you were like that. I like you for who you are. I promise, I won't hurt you like I have others, I care to much for you…"

"I know James, I know." Lily replied sweetly. They sat talking about their summers.

Back in Lily's compartment

"Natalia, I really like you, I know you think I'm just a player, and that I only wanted to shag you, but you should know I have never felt this way about any other girl before. Natalia… I truly care about you, and James cares about Lily a lot too, if only she realized it." Sirius said.

"Oh contraire Sirius my friend, she does realize it." The compartment door had just slid open, and Remus and Peter walked in. "We left their compartment about five minutes ago. We listened outside the door. And heard him tell her he really cared, and then she said she knew, it was quiet sappy actually." Remus said laughing.

"Are you sure Remus? Lily seemed pretty keen on not wanting to be with James earlier. Then again," She turned and looked at Sirius. "I think she feels the same was as I do about you Sirius." Natalia smiled and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"We should be at Hogwarts in about five minutes," A voice from the door said, it was Alice. "Boys you want to send Lily this way? We have to change." Alice replied slyly, the boys walked out and Alice turned to Natalia. "Did I miss something?"

"I think we both did, we should wait for Lily, I think she has the best story of all to tell, but Sirius finally asked me out!" Natalia seemed extremely excited to both Alice and Lily who had just walked in.

"Wow, seems like we've all had entertaining days. James was so… Romantic." Lily said with a distant smile on her face. Alice and Natalia just laughed.

"So did you kiss him Lily?" Natalia finally asked.

"Well, no actually, he didn't try to kiss me though. That's different, but we are going out now." Lily said with a big smile. "So how's Sirius, Natalia?"

"You mean my boyfriend? Good!" She said with a smirk.

"How are things with Frank Alice? He still is treating you well?"

"Of course, we spent the train ride snogging and talking, you know the deal." Alice replied with a smirk.

"C'mon we better get changed, we're nearly there." Lily said.

They got changed into their dress robes then Lily went and met up with James to check and make sure everyone had everything.

"You take the left side I'll take the right, okay?" James said to Lily sweetly.

With that they walked down the isles and checked to make sure everyone was ready to get off the train. Everything was fine till about half way down the train when Lily opened up Snape's compartment.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the little Mudblood. What do you want?" Snape spat at Lily, before Lily could respond James was behind her and speaking.

"Listen Snape, lets not act like we're five, get you're stuff ready, we'll be getting off the train in about two minutes." With that James closed the compartment door and turned to Lily. "Sorry about that I just…" But Lily never bothered to find out what he was going to say, because at that moment she placed a light kiss on his lips.

Before James could respond Lily pulled away and continued their check. They didn't come across anyone else in the compartments; they did see Regulus Black and Niki Kenata, they were the younger siblings of Sirius and Natalia respectively, but they were both in Slytherin and they didn't get along well.

Finally they got to the last compartments, Lily and James told them it was time to go, and they walked with they're friends to the carriages. Lily, James, Sirius, Natalia, and Remus crammed into one compartment. Peter was nowhere in site. Alice had gone to sit with Frank and some of his friends.

"So anything new Remus?" Lily asked him. He looked a little sad, but she didn't know why. She hated to see him like this. When he didn't answer Lily followed his eyes and saw who he was looking at. It was Kim Woloshuk, a fellow Gryffindor seventh year. "Hey Kim, want to come sit with us?" Lily called out to her. Remus looked petrified, but Natalia then picked up on what was going on.

"C'mon Kim! There's an empty seat next to Lupin." At this Remus blushed.

"Hey everyone!" Kim said. She was about five foot six, and had long brown hair, and deep blue eyes. She had a perfect figure and seemed to be the only girl Remus ever saw, but he would never admit it. "Wow!" she said as she sat down quite close to Remus. "This has to be the weirdest thing I have ever seen, we've got Natalia and Sirius holding hands and Lily and James. How surprising. Remus I really don't know how you can deal with these four." She replied sweetly moving a little closer to him.

Remus looked nervous and when he caught James' eye he said to her, "Well Kim, I guess you just have to know how to handle them." Kim smiled.

The castle finally came into view. They didn't talk much after a while, they just sat and watched as the castle came into view.
