Chapter 1- The people we know! (RANDOM!)
Lily climbed out of the car and pulled her bag out after her, she paid the cab driver and made her way towards the platform she had dreamt about all summer. As she neared the barrier that would let her through, she took one last look at the muggle world and smiled. As much as she loved her parents, she never understood how they could stand being muggles. But she hated her sister, so she was glad to be far getting away from her. She'd spent the summer being and taunted and teased by the older girl who'd said she was 'Abnormal' and 'a freak'. She knew her parents loved her, a witch or not, but she couldn't stand her sister.
She walked through the barrier with pride and made her way slowly through the crowd of young witches and wizards that were saying goodbye to their families.
She smiled kindly and said "hello" as she saw her childhood friend's mother saying goodbye to her son. Lily and James had fallen out when they'd gotten to hogwarts and she sometimes reminisced bout the times when her and James were so very close. She had been so scared to tell him she was a witch and so then in the end she hadn't and then she'd gotten to school and seen him there. She was so shocked, but James had known he was a wizard his whole life. She had been very hurt that he hadn't told her and their friendship spiraled downwards from there.
She jumped onto the train and found herself an empty carriage before delving into a book she'd brought along for the ride. But soon her carriage filled with her school friends and the book lay forgotten beside her.
Her best friend was a girl named Chloe Robinson, who was a shy blonde girl that she'd met on her very first day. They took to each other very quickly and had been best friends since then. Their group was small but close.
While Lily and James were no longer friends, her friends were good friends with his friends, so their groups spent a lot of time together. Lily's good friend Amanda Murray had a crush on Sirius Black, who was James' best friend so she tried to make sure the two groups spent a lot of time together.
So sitting in the small carriage was Lily, Chloe, Amanda, Amanda's twin sister Renee, James, Sirius, and their other friend Remus. And they were all rather squashed, but laughing and having fun all the same.
Lily was keeping quiet and looking around at the people that filled the carriage. James seemed to have change since she last really looked at him properly or had a conversation with him. Now as she watched him from the seat opposite she recognized some of his traits that had made their friendship so special.
He was definitely the loudest person in the carriage; his voice carrying over the voices of all the other people who were talking.
She watched as he used lots of vivid hand gestures, beaming wildly as he spoke about Quidditch and his face then looking somber as they spoke about less happy subjects.
He definitely wore his heart on his sleeve and his face always displayed his emotions. This was very unlike Lily, although, if you looked into the depths of her eyes you could always see what she was feeling. Lily remembered that their contrasts were always something that kept them together. They weren't so alike that life got boring, but they could read each other like an open book.
She smiled as she thought of the way he used to look deep into her eyes when he wanted her to believe he was telling the truth about what he was saying. Imagining his brown eyes locked with hers made her shiver involuntarily.
"Are you okay Lily?" a deep male voice pulled her out of her reverie.
She looked up and straight into the brown eyes of her memory.
"I'm fine." She stammered, "I was just a bit dazed." She said smiling and flicked back her hair as if to recompose herself.
"You're beautiful Lily, I've always thought you were beautiful." He said, taking her hands in his.
Lily blushed and looked around at the rest of the compartment. The rest of her friends were still deep in conversation, and none of them were looking at her and James.
"Th-thank you James" she stuttered, brushing back her hair and looking down at her shoes blushing.
"I mean it Lily, I'm so sorry about what happened between us!" he said, lifting her head to look at him.
She looked into his brown eyes and saw the lust in the way he was looking at her, she remember that lust, he had looked at her that way the last time they had really spoken, at the start of second year.
**FlashBack**
"I love you Lily, but you tease me! Why wont you just kiss me? that's all I ask!" said her best friend, his hand in her hair he pulled her head up to look him in the eyes.
His brown eyes had a predatory gleam to them, and she could see his animalistic lust, she was really scared of her friend now.
"Let me go James! Please, I don't want to kiss you!" she begged, she'd never seen James look at her like that, he'd always been so sweet to her.
"You do!" he growled, pushing her back onto his bed further. She whimpered as he pushed his lips onto hers.
She finally freed her hands and slapped him hard across the face with all her might.
"LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE JAMES! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU WOULD TREAT ME LIKE THIS AFTER ALL WE'VE BEEN THROUGH TOGETHER!! GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE!" she screamed, pushing him off her and running away without a second glance.
**End FlashBack**
**************************************************************************** *** What Lily didn't know was that James had been drinking for the first time that night, and as she ran from the room he realized what he had just done and felt so terrible, he threw up. He tried to speak to her once after it and tried to tell he what had really happened, but she'd just huffed off. So he left her alone for the rest of that year, and then in the year after they had only spoken when they needed to. Never really saying more then 5 words to each other. **************************************************************************** ***
Lily gasped and pulled her hands out of his.
"Leave me alone James!" she hissed, she didn't need to go through the heartbreak that he'd created all over again. She couldn't let herself get close again; she just didn't trust him.
"Lily, I was young and drunk! Please I've changed!" he said, but she stood up and walked out of the carriage.
"LILY!" called the occupants of the carriage and Amanda stood to run after her, but Remus stood up and stopped her.
He'd watched her and James speaking and had seen the fear in her eyes.
"I think she just needs some space" he said calmly and made Amanda sit back down.

Lily ran through the train and soon found a quiet corner near some young kids' carriages. She sank down onto the floor and cried. She cried like she couldn't remember crying before, harder then she had the day James had tried to force himself on her. Her whole body shook as she sobbed into her hands and soaked her pink top.
She sat for what seemed like hours, crying solidly, curled up the fetal position. Until she heard a masculine voice whisper her name.
She looked up and her tear stained eyes met those of Remus Lupin.
"Remus!" she gasped, wiping her face fruitlessly.
He didn't say anything as he sat down beside her and placed an arm on her shoulder.
"It's okay Lily!" he said as he stroked her back.
She choked on her tears, and let some more flow. She was really worn out and had a thumping headache but she was still crying.
"Come on Lily, it's okay!" he said more forcefully as he handed her a bunch of tissues.
"Thankyou!" she sobbed as she wiped her face and then lay her head on his shoulder, "You're a good friend!"
He stroked her hair and tried to calm her down, soon she was feeling much better and he conjured her a glass of water.
"Here," he said, offering it to her. "Drink this" She smiled and drank it down, then handed the glass back to Remus before trying to stand up. She faltered a little and then soon found her feet.
"Here!" he said, handing her a black bunch of cloth "I brought your robes, go into one of toilets and get dressed and clean your face then come back to the carriage. You'll feel much better." He said, kissing her forehead softly and then turning to walk away.
"Remus!" she called out, and he turned around. "Thank you!" she said smiling, he smiled back at her and then walked off.

Half an hour later, a fresh faced and smiling Lily walked back into the compartment that held all her friends. They all smiled at her encouragingly and made room for her to sit down. She looked out of window and watched the darkening countryside speed past, soon it was too dark to see anything.
"We should be there soon" Lily vaguely heard someone say and she smiled to herself at the thought of finally being back home at Hogwarts.
