Sorry for the long wait. I remember to write fanfictions only around mindnight and one…so hahaha. I'll be a good girl. :)

Lily groaned as she took her trunk and dragged it to the barrier. Many students were pushing and rushing, trying to get through ten at a time, but with no avail. Everyone was too excited. Well, at least Lily was decent. Some girls shot her looks of jealousy and some of hatred. Others smiled at her weakly.
"Oi! Lily!"
Lily turned around, glad that that voice belonged to Remus Lupin. The only reasonable Marauder; her only friend. She didn't like to admit things like that.
"Hello Remus!" she called back and smiled at the sandy haired boy. He had nice blue eyes that girls always say that calm everyone down. Lily hates to say it, but it's true. She might even have a little crush on Remus.
"So, I heard you're going to live with James, am I correct?" he asked. Lily knew he knew. Remus knew that Lily knew. So many knews.
"I think you know the answer," she said gruffly before running through the barrier. She didn't feel like talking to a Marauder right now. Her mind was focused on one thing: WHY ME!
---
"Lily!"
"Mum!"
Mrs. Evans went to her daughter and gave her a hug. Lily had gotten her beautiful red hair from her mother. Her eyes were from her father, who was a joyful man with a great attitude. How Petunia, horse faced and mousy brown hair, was so mean and vile, Lily never knew.
"Hey, Princess!" Mr. Evans said happily as he gave her a hug also. Petunia just stood there, her nostrils flaring and her eyes filled with deep despise.
"You realize, dad, that Vernon would not be able to write to me when we're in Lily's classmate's home…or, I meant, that Freakhome!" Petunia ranted as her dad pulled away from Lily.
"Now, now, Petty. You be nice that family. They are not freaks, don't call them that," scolded Mrs. Evans.
"In fact, they're standing right there!" Mr. Evans pointed.
Sure enough, there stood two adults, both looking very young and kind. Mrs. Potter had beautiful black hair and such a young face that people would've thought she was twenty. Mr. Potter, on the other hand, looks like a replica of James, except much older, not as messy hair, gold eyes and a friendly smile, not the kind of goofy smile James and Sirius wears.
Petunia's nostrils gave a shrill sound. Lily sighed. Nothing about Petunia has changed.
"Are-are they the freaks?" she asked staring at the Potters as if trying to burn wholes into their bodies. (Too bad you aren't a witch Petunia! If you were, you might have succeeded!)
Mr. Evans gave her a stern look.
"Respect them. They are letting us stay at their house."
Petunia gave a 'hmph' and looked at the direction of the newspaper stand. What a lovely sight to see. She turned back to the direction of Lily, who was just loading her trunk to a cart with her mother.
Lily felt Petunia's gaze and smiled innocently.
Just then, Lily darted her eyes to the wall between 9 and 10, as Sirius, James and Remus rushed out, laughing like crazy. Lily glared and looked at Petunia's face, to see what she thought of them. Petunia's eyes were wandering over to James, the Sirius, and then Remus. Her lips curved into a mixture of disgust. Lily didn't know what to do. Was she going to side with the wizards, with that bullying toe-rag James? Or was she going to side with her annoying sister?
She was too confused.

"Mum! Dad!" James yelled as he dropped his trunk on Sirius' toe.
"OOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!" he screamed, causing several people to stare at him, including muggle girls who talked about how hot he looked.
"Sorry, mate…" James laughed as he took his trunk. Sirius glared. Remus sighed.
Mr. Potter laughed and patted James on the head.
"How much did you grow over these months, son?" he asked, as James was now at least four inches taller than he was at Christmas.
James shrugged. "Dunno…three?"
"So now you're…"
"Six foot one…git over here is six foot three…"
Sirius glared again. "And a half…" he growled. "I'm not a git…"
"Grow up, both of you," Mrs. Potter waved her arms around.
Sirius puffed out his chest. "I am grown up!"
Remus and James laughed. Sirius smiled inanely.
Mrs. Potter sighed. "Well, we have to go home soon. I'm sure the Evans' are tired of standing there waiting for us. We'll take our limo."
Groans and moans were heard from the boys.
"Can't we buy a monster truck?" Sirius asked pouting. James nodded. "They're really cool, mum. I read them in muggle studies, they bash things and go uphill and downhill."
Sirius nodded also. "Or we could've just gotten an airplane! Then ZOOM! We're already there."
James laughed. "No, use a rocket."
The boys imitated sounds of transportation while Remus just stood there shaking his head and rubbing his temples.
"Alright boys. No excuses. We. Are. Going. In. The. Limo," said Mr. Potter sternly.

Mr. and Mrs. Potter walked to the Evans, while Sirius and James grudgingly followed, with Sirius whispering 'We should've just used brooms…'
"Hello, Mr. Evans, Mrs. Evans," Mrs. Potter greeted curtly. The adults shook hands.
"And this is my son, James."
James smiled, but in his head, he's thinking: 'Let's see…if I carry the four to nine and a half, giving me seventeen and a quarter…then x minus y times n would equal eighty-five, right?' Instead of saying that out loud, he shook Mr. Evans hand. "Good to meet you sir."
Mr. Evans was slightly surprised, but couldn't help but feel 'proud' of the Potters' They taught their child so well.
Lily just rolled her eyes. 'Your attempts at being nice won't work that well, Potter,' she thought.
Once again, she looked at Petunia. It was like a habit now. Petunia's gaze was fixed on James, Sirius and Remus, who just stood there trying to remain calm, but their faces were turning slightly pink and if people listened to them, you could hear guffawing sounds coming from the boys. Lily glared at them, making Remus jab their ribs. At least Remus was sensible.
"This is my daughter, Lily and my eldest daughter, Petunia," introduced Mrs. Evans. Lily nodded and Petunia just stood there, clutching onto her purse that her knuckles turned white.
Mr. Evans sighed at Petunia.
"Well, might as well go," Mr. Potter suggested. Sirius, James and Remus groaned.
"Can we go on the Knight Bus?" Sirius asked. James and Remus nodded.
"Now, why do you want to go on the Knight Bus?" Mrs. Potter questioned.
"Because…because…" James started. Truth is, he didn't want to go into the limo. Lily would like the limo more than he. In Sirius' point of view, he has only been on the Knight Bus once and he loved it. And Remus just loves to talk to Stan Shunpike, the conductor's child. They're about the same age and he's going to be the Knight Bus' future conductor.
Mrs. Potter sighed. "We're not going on the Knight Bus! I already phoned Will!"
The boys looked a bit happier. Will was the driver of the guest limo, which wasn't as nice as the family one, which meant that Lily wouldn't like it as much. Sirius liked the guest one because he can throw things around there and Mr. Potter wouldn't get angry if he spilled things on the seats. Remus liked the guest limo because he can talk to Will, who was graduated from Hogwarts three years ago.
"Alright, let's go then," Mr. Potter clapped his hands and led the Evans to the door.
