Chapter 3
The Hogwarts Express
A week and a half passed and today Lily was going to Hogwarts. "Lily, wake up dear," Grace Evans said as she shook her.
"Whattimeisit"? Lily yawned
"10:00" her mom responded. Lily jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. She brushed her teeth, took a quick 5 minute shower, and pulled on jean shorts and a black fitting t-shirt. She threw a few last minute things into her trunk and almost tripped down the stairs. Scott Evans carried his daughter's trunk into the car as Lily grabbed a muffin and a bottle of water, hoping that the muffin was chocolate chip instead of blueberry. She ran to the car, seeing her parents were already inside. Taking one last look at her house, she stepped into the yellow hummer. When the three got to Kings Cross Station it was already 10:52. Her parents walked with her to Platform 9 and hugged her.
"Don't forget to write Lily" Grace Evans yelled.
"I won't, love ya" Lily yelled back and ran her trolley between the two platforms 9 and 10. Once she got onto the platform, she saw the sign Platform 9 ¾ Hogwarts express and boarded. The only thing left to do was to find her friends. She looked through 4 compartments with one of them being a Slytherin one and calling her "Mudblood". Three compartments up, she heard an explosion. Definitely the Marauders she thought. She slid the compartment door open.
"Hey Lilikens," greeted Sirius.
"Hey, Lils," greeted James.
"Hello, Lily," greeted Remus.
"Hey Siri, Jamie and Remmie." The three looked confused.
"What's up with the nicknames Lilikins?" Sirius asked
"Oh that; I made up new nicknames on the car ride here, so why not use them." Lily responded. "Anyway, why's everyone so quiet and what the heck was that explosion before?"
"That was our new prank on the Slytherins. It's just like a dungbomb but it also squirts any color paint out onto their clothes too," Sirius said with a mischievous look on his face.
"And the reason why Peter, Natalie, Alice and Frank are so quiet is because they are working on that 2 foot charms essay that Professor Flitwick assigned us for summer homework." James said quietly, trying not to disturb the four so concentrating people.
"So Lily, ready for 4th year?" Sirius asked
"Yeah, I…" and was cut off by a sudden blackout.
"What's happening?" asked a frightened Natalie.
"I don't know," Lily replied. "I'll go out and check."
"And I'll come with you," said a brave voice she recognized being James'. The two walked along the compartments and saw nothing and headed back. There was a black hooded thing floating into one of the compartments. It happened to be a compartment of 3 Hufflepuff boys and 2 Ravenclaw girls all in the same year as them. The dementor was moving towards one of the Ravenclaw girls she was small but a really pretty Asian with the name of Marian Cho.
"Expecto Patronum" James shouted. He thought of the first time he rode a broomstick. It was when he was 7 years old. A silver shaped stag came out of his wand and made the dementor back away. Unfortunately the girl already fainted. Lily and James ran back to their compartment and found the rest of their friends eager to knowing what was out there.
"There are dementors out there," James said quickly. "Can anyone else do the Patronus charm?"
"I can" Lily and Sirius said in unison. Everybody looked at Sirius in amazement, wondering if he was joking or not.
"What, why is everybody looking at me?" Sirius asked
"You can produce the Patronus charm?" asked shocked Natalie
"Seriously, you guys underestimate me. You know when my mom and dad try to teach me dark arts and make me a follower of Voldemort?" Peter flinched at the name. "They also taught me all other complicated spells so if anything's attacking me, then I can block it."
"Okay." Alice said. "What should we do?"
"The three of us will fight the dementors while Peter, Alice and Natalie write to Dumbledore. Remus and Frank, you two need to help the people who have fainted or if they're feeling dizzy, give them chocolate" James ordered. After the three fought off the last 4 dementors, Professor Dumbledore came with a dozen aurors including James' mom and dad, Theresa and Rob Potter. James' parents came and hugged the 3 of them.
"What exactly happened?" Theresa Potter asked while Rob and a few other aurors were making portkeys to Hogwarts. James, Lily and Sirius explained everything to her. Three compartments at a time touched the portkeys which led them to the great Hall in Hogwarts. Shortly after, everyone arrived.
