Chapter one: Train Ride to Hogwart
Polyhydrate
A particular water plant found only in magical forests. This extremely rare species of pinedrates is found only in shallow ponds, in the densest coniferous forest. Its distinguishing petals that surround the otherwise plain grayish-yellow cone are of a pale green to pink hue. The petals of this can be stewed to make a strong protection potion (i.e. Safeguard Potion) that allow the drinking to be shielded against any and all physical attack. During the Spring, this plant also produce . . ..
"Lily!"The noise caused lily to jerk awake from her monotonous reading.
"Whhhaaat" she whined, without bothering to look up from her new textbook. She sifted slightly and returned reading. A sudden gab in her side made her look up.
"Ow that hurt!" she said.
"Good you deserved that," Chris Hamilton replied. As he ducked to avoid a painful slap to his head, he caught Lily's hand.
He started to rub it gently. "Lillian Evans you mustn't read while the train is in motion, otherwise you shall get nausea"
Lily giggled, " You know that actually sounded like my mom for a moment." She rolled her eyes; " thank god I'm finally away from her, this summer was way too long"
Chris smirked and said in the same tone, " I'm very displeased to her you say that Lillian Jane Evans! apologizes right now!"
Lily's eyebrow twitched and she started playfully slapping his arm with her other hand.
"Oh you evil, evil person! Didn't I tell you to never call me by my middle name?"
The boy laughed and easily caught her other hand. He tightened his grip and then said " If you wish Ms. Lily Jane Evans." Chris stuck out his tongue at lily.
Lily just laughed and tried to pull her hands away but his grip was too strong. " Alright, you've proved your stronger then me now let me go."
He laughed and let go. "Now that you're free from my overpowering grip, what are you going to do?"
She smiled and said "This". And lily leaned towards him and kissed him. After a very long moment they parted and Chris said, " hmm much better than reading." Lily giggled and allowed her to be pulled into his arms. But before they could get to far into the snogging business the compartment door slid open and they slowly pulled their lips apart.
"Oh Lillian!" a familiar voice said.
"Betsy, if you have to ruin a moment, at least ruin it without calling me by my full names." Lily retorted. "What are you doing here?"
A thin brunette with shoulder length wavy hair walked into the compartment. She had oval blue glasses and her eyes were emereld-gray. Her mouth was thin and long with a faint pink color. She carried a book in her arms and she already had on her Hogwart robes.
"I came here to break your snogging session, and to grab some more pasties." And without another word she reached to the huge pile of pastries and helped herself to a few.
Lily rolled her eyes. " You know I almost missed you great manners over the summer, almost."
Betsy laughed, " Ah, what would you do without me lily."
Chris smiled and said, " A whole lot more."
Betsy faked a hurt look and said, " Well I guess I'll take my leave now. God knows what you lovebird will do here." She stood up and gave lily a quick hug. " I missed you over the summer, glad we're back, though you may think otherwise." Then in a whisper she said, " I need to tell you something later"
Lily hugged her best friend back and said, " you know I missed you too, so stop fishing for compliments. We'll talk later okay?"
Beth stood up and said, " yep, prepare for a long night of girl talk.
Lily smiled slightly but also gave her bff a concern look.
But Beth didn't say anymore. Right before Beth left the compartment she turned and said, " Oh and Lily don't forget to use protection!"
Lily blushed and quickly got up to slam the door. When she looked back at Chris she saw an amused look on his face.
"Oh shut up! You guys perverted!"
Chris stood up and put his arm around lily, " awww, is my sweet Lilykan embarrassed."
Lily thought better than to answer him and just stepped on his foot.
"Ow!"
"Serve you right!"
"Ok fine I'll stop, shush" And he gave Lily a passionate kiss. Lily anger softened and she kissed him back, while she let him led her back to their seats. Chris sat down and pulled Lily unto his lap. "Hmm, wanna get back to what we were doing?"
Lily just kissed him again and slid her tongue into his mouth.
But, once again the compartment door slid open. This time lily didn't bother to turn around or move at all.
"Elisabeth Longbottem! Stop barging in already, if you stay all you'll get is to see us make-out!" And she proceeded to kiss the base of Chris's neck.
But something was wrong. Chris had stopped kissing her and his hold tightened around her protectively.
"Hmm?" she whispered into his ear.
He only said, " Hello James" in an icy tone.
"Hello Chris" a person replied in an equally cold tone.
Lily sighed, when will I get a moment of peace with my boyfriend?
She turned so she could see James' hair pointing through the door. His messy jet-black hair was an object of adoration to many girls, but to Lily it was just something that's always annoyingly close to her.
" You might as well come in." Lily said.
James quickly stepped in. The first thing that lily noticed about him was his body. Wow, he worked out this summer. Lily gave herself a mental shake.
"What is it Potter?" Chris barked.
"Tsk, tsk so cold Hamilton, you'd think I was a villain or something." James replied as he stroked his own hair.
"From here I don't see too much of a difference." Chris growled. He and James never really had gotten along very well, especially after James helped the Gryffindor quitich team bet his (Hufflepuff) quitich team last year.
"Well villain or not I wanted to talk to lily."
"Well here I am" Lily replied wearily. He better not is trying to ask me out in front of Chris. The guy has no tact!
James looked around nervously, " Actually I was wondering if I could speak to you alone."
Before Lily could answer Chris said, " N-O, understand potter? I do not want you rapping her once I'm out of site."
James gave him a disgusting/angry look. " I would never do that you filthy mouth scum! You know I should just kick the living sht out of you for saying that!"
Chris took out his wand as if to jinx him well lily lied her hand on his arm.
"Can't you guys have a civil conversation? Look, I'll talk to you Potter if you make it quick."
"But Lily-" Chris started.
"Shush, I'll be back in a sec." And lily gave him one last parting kiss on the lips before she got up.
She followed James into an empty corridor.
"What is it potter . . . if you couldn't see I was having a um…….. . Good time before you barged in!"
But instead of listening James just turned her back away from her and stared out a window. The train was passing the English Countryside and it was raining slightly.
Lily gave him a pondering look. Hmm that's strange, he normally would have just shouted back at me.
"Look lily I was going to ask you to go to Hogmeade with me but I guess you already have plans." His sounded hurt, very hurt. Even stranger, he never cared whether or not I had plans before.
"umm …well . .ya" she muttered lamely.
"So are you guys an item?" he still didn't look at her, instead he ruffled his hair again.
"Kinda . . . well ya. We got together during the summer." She said, answering his unasked question. God I sound stupid.
"Oh . . . well I guess you better get back." He turned and started to walk towards the door.
He stopped for a moment and stared at Lily intensely, almost desperately. Lily felt some…. Thing… Some…strong emotion washed over her. Suddenly she felt vulnerable as if her sharp tongue (which was the only way she could stand James with) was suddenly lost. His stare hypnotized her as James grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him. Their lips were just inches apart, and unknowingly coming closer --- but before Lily even realized what would have happened, He was gone, the swish of his cloak sounding next to the closing door.
