Beaubaxtons to Hogwarts
Disclaimer: I wish I did own the James and Lily characters, that way I can be rich rich rich rich rich! But sadly, they are J.K. Rowling's characters not mine.
Author's Note: Aren't you happy that I'm writing more? I love these fanfics! Erm...I'm alright...just need to calm down...Did you ever notice that I don't use Peter at all? Maybe I should. But what could he do?
Summary: Lily suffers at her old school so she decides to run away. She came to Hogwarts under an alias name hoping to make friends somewhere else. However, she was wrong. She met James and his gang and they decide to play pranks on her just for the fun of it. But will James's feelings change as well as Lily's?

Chapter 7- The New Friendship
"Tia! I missed you so much!" Tia was breathless and panted a little before grinning and managing to hug Lily with luggages in her hands.
"I missed you too. Your letters never explained much about Potter. You have to tell me all about it." Lily only grinned.
"You have to tell me about the wedding." Tia nodded and smiled when she saw Professor Dumbledore.
"Hi Professor." Dumbledore acknowledged Tia with a nod and a twinkle in his eye.
"Had a safe trip?" Tia nodded, estactic to be back in school with Lily and her own bed. Lily grabbed one of Tia's luggages and dragged her up the stairs.
"No way! You and Potter kissed?" Tia munched on a chocolate frog while Lily sucked on sugar quills. Lily nodded and smiled a little. "Violet Sarin, you actually enjoyed it?!?" Lily cringed a little at the name of Violet Sarin. She nodded weakly while continuing to suck on the sugar quill. Tia cocked her head to the side. "Vi? Why are you so quiet?" This time, Lily sighed.
"Uh...Tia? I have something to tell you." Tia nodded and waited for Lily to continue.
"My...my..." Why was it so hard for her to say it. "Myname'snotVioletSarin." Lily rushed and quickly sucked on her sugar quill once again.
"Come again?" Lily slid the candy out of her mouth slowly then repeated what she had said.
"My name's not Violet Sarin. It's Lily Evans." She said quietly.
Tia took a moment to register it. After a while, she looked at Lily.
"Why?" That one simple question took Lily off balance. She had expected some arguments or screaming but she never expected Tia to be dangerously soft.
"It's a long story." Lily hesitated.
"I've got time." She said firmly and crossed her legs on Lily's bed, waiting patiently for the story. Lily repeated what she had said to James previously about her past. By the time she was done, Tia had sprung tears in her eyes.
"No, not that." Tia nodded and wiped them away.
"That's so sad. How did you ever manage to be so strong? So independant? So defiant?" Lily shrugged her shoulders and laughed. "Does Dumbledore know?" She nodded and they remained silent for a while.
"Does James know?" Lily stared surprised at the first name basis.
"Yes. He saw me crying because of my parents." Lily looked away as tears slid down her cheeks.
"Oh Lillikins." Tia crawled over and hugged Lily. "It's going to be alright. You have to be strong that's all."
"But what if I can't? What if I can't take it anymore?"
"You can. Just remember that I'll be here. I'll always be here for you." Lily realized with a start that how lucky she was to have Tia.

In the Boys' Dorimtories
James sighed as he stared up at the ceiling. It's been 10 hours, 24 minutes and 16 seconds since that kiss. It wasn't like he was counting, it was that he was incredibly bored, for once in his lifetime. And he can't come over to the girls' dormitories or else those bloody stairs will appear leaving bruises that'll last a millenium.
"Oy, Prongs. What's gotten to you today mate?" Sirius as always, hopped onto James's bed. James only stared longer, used to the movement that Sirius had always caused.
"It's nothing Sirius. It's nothing." James responded absently. This made Sirius stop the hopping.
"Chap, you don't look like it."
"Morning gentlemen. What's with James?" Sirius shrugged his shoulders, befaffled as well.
"Maybe it's a girl." Sirius guessed. Remus snorted with laughter.
"James never has trouble with girls. Minus Lily Evans."
"Oy, I thought it was Violet Sarin."
"Sirius Black, you are a thick-headed git. Everyone knows now that Lily was under an alias name. You're the only prick who doesn't know."
"Will you two shut up? I'm trying to think." This made Sirius and Remus roar with laughter. James scowled, irritated.
"What?" He snapped at them.
"Nothing Jamesie ol' boy. Nothing. Get back to your..." Sirius grimaced at this. "...thinking." Remus and Sirius shut the door quietly behind them as James rolled over. 'Lily Evans.' That name rolled onto his tongue so easily like cream. He could say it a million times and never get tired of it.
James shook his head. 'What am I thinking? I must becoming crazy.' He grinned at this and got up, looking at the mirror on his way out. As usual, his hair was messy. He could never flatten it. He rolled his eyes and made his way to the door. He could hear sniffling next door but thought best than to disturb someone. Mind you, he didn't want a bloody bruise on his arse.

In The Girls' Dormitories
After 2 packets full of tissue, Lily was fine. Tia, on the other hand, was amused by Lily.
"I suppose you cried more today than you ever had in your childhood." She mused at Lily. Lily only glared and tossed her hair. "Ah, there's the Lillikins we know."
"And I suppose you never cried once in your childhood?" Tia only smiled.
"By the way dear Lily, do you still think that our dear friend Potter is still heartless?"
"No." She answered straightforward. "I saw the real James last night. Why do you call him by Potter?" Tia shrugged.
"I like calling people by their last name Lillikins. You are an exception."
"Am I supposed to take that as a compliment?"
"You can if you want." Tia smiled showing her pearly white teeth. Lily rolled her eyes and laughed which attracted the attention of Sirius Black and Remus Lupin.
"Ah, hello ladies." Sirius grinned flirtatiously at them. They only smiled back. Usually, Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw girls would flaunt over them. Lily and Tia only calmly sat down next to them. Sirius looked as if he was offended.
"Something wrong Black?" Lily looked as if she were concerned. Remus and Tia chuckled at Sirius's expression.
"I think Sirius here is offended that you didn't fall for his wonderful charm and good-looks."
"My dear friend Lupin, what charm?" This made Sirius topple over, as if he was dying. "Oh dear, it seems as if I'm murdering him." Lily grinned. "I think I can heal him. Oh Black, you sexy, sexy beast! I love you so much!" She cooed to him. That made Sirius's eyes brighten and twinkle mischeviously and grin seductively.
"Why, my dear Lily, I never knew you liked me."
"I never said I liked you. There's a difference between like and love." Remus laughed whilst Tia slapped Sirius on the shoulder.
"You big flirt, Black." Tia scolded, her eyes twinkling. Sirius grinned.
"Ah, the wonders of flirting." He sang out as the two girls along with Remus shook their head.
James entered the common room seeing that he was outside in the cold, wandering around. He entered to find Lily's eyes red and puffy but still sparkling and dancing. Her cheeks flushed, and her smile bright. She turned to see James.
"Oh hello James. Won't you join us?" Tia turned too and gave a knowing look which left James puzzled. Sirius and Remus only laughed at their own corny jokes while the girls took notice of his entrance. James walked over and sat between Sirius and Lily.
"Hey chap. Done thinking?" James only scowled and slapped Sirius on the head.
"Ow. It seems everyone's slapping me these days."
"Only because you say the wrong things Black." Lily countered back. Sirius shrugged and gave Lily a puppy-dog face, at which Lily only rolled her eyes.
"Grow up Black."
"I have." Sirius said haughtily. He threw out his chest so much that he fell backwards onto the floor. James only shook his head and smiled. He leaned over to Lily.
"Lily, we need to talk. Can we go somewhere private?" He whispered it to her which made Lily concerned and curious. She nodded and pointed to the girls' dormitories.
"Hey where are you two going?" Tia called out as they left.
"Probably to have wild animal sex." Sirius grinned while arching a brow. A cute gesture that had girls falling for him. Lily glared at him.
"I will kill you later." James grinned.
"We are."
"James!"
"What? If they think that, they won't have to know what we're really doing."
"We're just talking! I don't want them to think we're having sex! For god sakes, we're only fourteen! Black, you with your dirty mind!" She raised her chin and continued walking towards the girls' dormitories, whereas James followed, laughing along the way. He mouthed to Sirius,
"Sex." Sirius laughed and continued chatting with Tia and Remus.
James closed the door behind him, and sat next to Lily on her bed.
"Uh...Lily, there's a matter about that kiss that happened last night."
"Look James. If you feel uncomfortable, it's fine. We can go on being friends." For a moment, a flick of disappointment flashed across James's face but he only smiled.
"If that's what you want Lily, then we could be friends." They both shook on it and both smiled.
'Friends.' they thought happily and sadly.
----------------------
Later On
"Friends?!?" Tia screeched. "You're going to continue on as friends?!? Where's the love? The romance? The spark?" She continued ranting on before Lily stopped her.
"Tia, quiet. People could hear you."
"I don't care. You can't continue on as friends."
"Are Potter and I destined together?" Lily sarcastically said.
"Yes." Tia said firmly. That made Lily laugh as Tia had a determined look across her face. "Just you wait Lily Evans. You and Potter will love each other by the end of seventh year. I'll guarantee that. You'll even go and marry and have a kid named Harry." Lily shook her head at the whole idea.
"We're going to marry and have a kid named Harry? Boy Tia, have you gone bonkers."
"Just you wait Lily." Tia said with a glitter in her eye.
