Chapter 3:

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.. btw do I have to write this at the start of every chapter..? Does anyone know?

Lily woke with a start and looked around her surroundings, where am I? She wondered to her self. Then she remembered… Howarts!

She had no idea what time it was or what time she was meant to be getting up or anything, so she decided just to lie in bed and think for a bit until someone else gets up, there was someone snoring in the room so assumed they were all still asleep.

I am so lucky to have come to Hogwarts and made such awesome friends in one day. We are all alike and get along well and we act like we have been friends for ever. I still miss California but not as much now I have such awesome friends. Lily heard someone stirring in the bed across from her, Alex? Or was it Sarah? No it was definitely Sarah. Lily decided to wake her up; she knew she was a morning person when they were younger so hopefully she still is. Come to think of it why am I up? I am not usually a morning person.

Lily got out of bed and shivered a bit when her hot feet met the cold ground. Blood cold England she thought to herself. She opened the curtains around Sarah's bed and found she was already awake. Sarah turned and smiled at her and indicated for her to come inside the curtains. She came in and closed them and Sarah said 'Silencio' so they didn't wake the others up.

"It is seriously so weird that we have met up again after all these years" Sarah said.

"I know, you have no idea how sad I was when you left, it took me ages to make new friends again" said Lily.

"Yeah me to, but thank god I met Alex and Caz, their really cool"

"Yeah I know, thanks again for being friends with me"

"Don't thank us, its like thank you" Sarah said

"Yeah so anyway moving on, tell me all about Hogwarts. Like teachers and guys and well… EVERYTHING!"

"Ok Gryffindor is by far the best house, and I know we have described this to you but I'm doing it again! We win quidditch all the time and we throw the best parties. The only thing the Marauderers are good for is getting grog for the parties. Anyway we usually have boyfriends but right now Alex is the only one of us with a boyfriend. Caz and I are single." Sarah explained then added "oh yeah and the classes are pretty hard, but you're pretty smart so it should be easy for you. The castle is pretty hard to find your way around, for the first few weeks but it gets better, don't worry. Just follow us and you'll be fine." Sarah said.

"This all sounds so good; I wish I came here earlier!"

"Yeah, we should probably start getting ready and get the others up" Sarah told her.

"Ok" Lily said then added "shotgun first shower"

Sarah gave her a 'what the fuck' look then Lily looked confused and said "you don't have shotgun here? Weird, I learned it over the summer; it's like the new, cool thing to do. It must just be like an American or a muggle thing, don't mind me!"

"Right, does 'shotgun first shower means you want it or you don't?"

"It means I want it and I'm about to get it!"

"Whatever" said Sarah.

When went into the shower, Sarah then proceeded to wake up Alex and Caz. Caz would be easy but it's always impossible to wake Alex up. She went to Alex first and nudged her a bit and nothing happened, she started shaking her and saying "Alex" but she still didn't wake up. She gave up and went over to Caz nudged Caz and Caz woke up.

"Ok get up you lazy bum and go wake Alex up, nothing is working for me!" Sarah said.

Caz walked over to Alex and almost shouted "Alex quick, get up, Amos is in the room"

Alex almost shot out of bed and looked around the room with a confused look on her face, searching for Amos. Realisation then dawned on her and she turned back to Caz and said "Damn you, I was having such a good dream"

"Whatever it's time to get up and get ready" Sarah said.

The four girls after showing and getting ready and making themselves look pretty (which they achieved) made their way down to breakfast. They all sat together at the Gryffindor table and yet again Lily was amazed at the amount of different breakfast foods. Lily reached for some toast and found some Vegemite which she was amazed by because it is extremely hard to come by in California, she would have never guessed it would be here. Her Australian friend got her onto Vegemite, everyone else hated it.

As Lily was putting the Vegemite onto the toast Caz looked over and said "you have got to be joking, you are actually eating that stuff Lily... it looks like shit!"

"I love Vegemite, have you ever even tried it?" Lily said.

James, who was sitting with the Marauderers just a few seats down heard their conversation and said "who is talking about Vegemite, I love that stuff" while taking a large bite into a piece of Vegemite toast.

"Yeah but James you also love the rain and getting wet in the rain, you're just weird!" Sirius said.

"Oh shut up Sirius, I'm not even going to get started on the weird things you love. Do you want me to tell the whole table what you tried over the summer with that girl and that you loved!"

Sirius went very red and shut up. Lily and the rest of the girls were laughing. Professor Magonagal came around and started handing out the timetables.

"There actually ok this year. But as usual first up we have potions with the Slytherins; I swear it's like a curse or something. Every year we always end up with potions with the Slytherins and I swear we ALWAYS have potions first period, first day back." Alex said.

"Yeah I reckon" Caz said.

All of the girls finished up and made their way down to potions, yay.

Lily was sitting in Transfiguration, the last lesson of the day, and bored out of her brain. They were learning about apparating, which she had already learned how to do in California. Professor Magonagle was just talking and going on and on about how to apparate and Lily, shock horror, wasn't even listening. She was letting her mind wander to what she was going to wear tonight. She was thinking about this new black dress she got for her birthday over the summer.

Finally it was time to actually apperate. They were only allowed to practise inside the classroom and to get their licence they have a test next week and have to apperate 2km away. Right now they weren't in their normal classroom because of the apparation defences around the school, so they were practising in a special classroom dedicated to this and you can only apparate inside the classroom, not to the outside and there were special charms up so you cannot leave part of yourself behind when you apperate.

Everyone, including Lily, stood up and they all tried. They were instructed to apperate to the other side of the classroom. Lily did it first attempt and the professor was astounded and got Lily to demonstrate again. Lily did so willingly but then said to everyone "in California we learn how to apperate in 6th year so I have already done this."

Lily felt like Transfiguration would never end. It just kept going and going and going. But now it was all over and the four girls had already had dinner and were getting ready for the club. The four girls were the only 7th year Gryffindor girls thank god, or it would get a little complicated.

Once they had all picked out what they were wearing and put them on Lily surveyed everyone. Everyone looked so good. Sarah was wearing a short, denim skirt, black boots and a black, strappy top. Alex was wearing tight brown, stretchy pants and a black, very low V neck top, which all looked great on her. Caz was wearing a black dress. It was halter-neck dress and there where diamantes around the top of the dress, the dress was loose but it had a tight section around the waist, like a belt, and below the belt the material was a little gathered and the bottom then went down and finished mid thigh. It was very short and the bottom was a-symmetrical. Lily was wearing a short, black skirt and with a small boob-tube on top which showed off her belly button which she got pierced over the summer.

All of the girls looked stunning and they all had their make up and hair done and were ready to go.

"Wait how do we actually sneak out, there are students walking around still?" Lily asked

"It's simple. Sarah owns her own invisibility cloak which we wear and we go to a secret passage that goes into Hogsmeade." Alex explained.

"Right…. I think I'll just stick with following you guys" Lily said.

A/N Ok hey guys! I'm going to cut the chapter off here but DON'T WORRY I have already written the next chapter and I will post it tomorrow if I get enough reviews! Na just joking I will post it tomorrow no matter what. So anyway are you guys proud of me or what!
