The Potter's, Lily, and Sirius' first stop in Diagon Ally was, Madam Malkin's Robes for all Occasions, for their robes, then Flourish and Bloots, for books, then the Apothecary, for the potion ingredients and the dragon hide gloves, and finally after they finished all their shopping they stopped for ice-cream. "How could I ever thank you, Mrs. Potter?" Lily asked with a pleading look on her face.

"You don't have to, sweetie," Mrs. Potter cooed. They where now walking back to the Leakey Cauldron with arms stocked with school supplies.

"Lily! Are you ready?" her mom yelled from the bottom of the stairs. Lily was home now and it was September 1st. "There Potter's will be here any minute!"

"I'm almost ready, mom!" she yelled as she put her copy of The Dark Forced: A guide to Self-Protection back in her trunk. She had read all of her other books already. There, I wont be behind the other students.

(Lily's POV)

I closed the lid of my trunk, grabbed the end of it, and dragged it down the stairs as the doorbell rang. "Ding, dong."

"I'll get it mom!" I said excepting the Potter's to be there.

"Hello, Lily, are you ready?" James asked smiling.

"Yea, just let me get my trunk," but before I even around James and Sirius ran to my trunk, that was on the staircase behind me. They each took one end of my trunk and started to walk toward the door.

"After you," Sirius grinned. What the hell is going on? I was going to ask but decided betted of it. So I just walked out of the house calling back buy to my mom.

I waited outside the Potters, white Chrysler Cirrus, while the boys put my trunk in the trunk of the car. "What? You don't trust us?" James asked innocently.

"No, I don't," I answered shortly. James climbed into the car, then I did, the Sirius climbed in after me.

Great I'm between the two biggest pranksters in the world. "You all buckled up?" Mrs. Potter asked from the passenger's side of the car.

"Yup."

"Yea."

"Yes, Mrs. Potter," I said. Mr. Potter drove out of my driveway and then onto the highway, until us kids started to talk. "James?" I asked. I knew that he didn't know that I knew a lot about Hogwarts, so I asked him a question he wouldn't except, "What house do you want to be in?" I did it, his face was totally surprised.

"How do you know about the houses," he confessed.

Lire, "They're; Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin," I decided to show off a little more. "Gryffindor's are brave at heart. Hufflepuff's are just and loyal. Ravenclaw's are smart and cunning. And Slytherin's have a lot of ambition. I smiled at the expressions on both James' and faces. "Now, tell me. What house do you want to be in?"

"Gryffindor, I guess."

"You better be in Gryffindor, James, not one Potter been in any other house," his father cut in. "And by the way, we're at the train station."

We climbed out of the car, grabbed our trunks out of the trunk, grabbed trolleys, and then I realized something. "Mr. Potter, there is no platform 9 ¾ . Is there?"

(Sirius' POV)

Now here's my chance she's occupied with Mr. Potter, "James," I whispered in his ear. "I dare you to ask Lily out before Halloween. Better yet, I bet you 10 galleons," I smiled. I knew he couldn't refuse.

(James' POV)

What is he doing? Playing matchmaker! "It's a bet," the words came out of my mouth unwillingly.

"Good."

I excepted my dad told Lily how to get on the platform because she was the first to get through the brick wall. I follow her and walked faster to catch up to her. We leaned out of the train window waving good-by to my parents until the train turned and we could no longer see them. "Lily, you haven't answered my question yet," I said.

"I never said that I would answer," she said like she knew all. "Now, Sirius, what house would you like to be in?"

"I really don't know. I guess Gryffindor, but my entire family has been in Slytherin." he sighed.

(No one's POV)

That's how the first half of the train ride went. James and Sirius bugging Lily to tell. When they calmed down a young lady with a snack trolley came by. "Anything off the trolley, dears?" she asked

"Three boxes of every flavor beans and 3 chocolate frogs," James said to the witch. He got up, paid her, get the snacks, but before he got a chance to came back to the compartment, someone called his name.
