Chapter 4- The Hogwarts Express.

Lily Evans strode towards the barrier, she looked over at her mother,

"Goodbye Lily dear! You're growing up so fast!"

"Bye mum!" Lily called and with that Mrs Evans watched her disappear through the barrier one last time.

Once Lily was on the other side of the barrier she looked around and saw only a few people on the platform as it was still only early, then again, Lily thought, my friends are always early.

Just as she thought that she heard a voice behind her,

"Oy, Lily!" Lily whipped around and saw the black haired, blue eyed girl standing behind her, arms folded, leaning to one side so you could see her brilliantly curved figure, which was enough to make any boys head turn, especially one named Sirius Black.

"Hey Shelley!", Lily called, she embraced her best friend in one huge hug, "God I've missed you!"

"Ok hun but you don't have to cut off my air supply!" chocked Shelley from Lily's shoulder, "Oops sorry Shell!

"Its ok, hey look there's Stacey and Charlie!"

When the girls saw each other they ran and screamed and the same time squeezing each other into one big group hug. They were still screaming when they heard voices behind them.

"Hey girls, aren't you four looking as sexy as ever this year!"

When they turned around they saw the cheeky smiling faces of the Marauders .

"Not so bad yourself Sirius," Shelley winked at him.

Sirius turned bright red, the rest of the Marauders grinned and the girls giggled, no sorry, laughed hysterically, everyone knew that he had a huge crush on Shelley, but only Lily, Stacey and Charlie knew that Shelley had a crush on him also.

Sirius was muttering to them to shut up when the train whistle sounded for them to board the train. Shelley kissed Sirius on the cheek, she's not one to not express her feelings, as you would have guessed by now! James wolf whistled and Lily looked at him and caught his eye, she turned away blushing furiously, why did James Potter just make me blush like that? That's weird, she thought, and with that she boarded the Hogwarts Express with the Marauders and her friends.
