Lily boarded the train, and with a sad thought realised it would be her second last time. She didn't shed a tear though, Lily never cried. Behind her Harriet was yapping on about organising her make up or something of equal unimportance when suddenly there was silence.

She turned around to see that Harriet had entered a compartment without telling her. Not sure weather she was just visiting or had found a place for the journey Lily waited, Harriet would come and get her when she needed her.

She heard Harriet's laugh come from the compartment and smiled. Harriet's head appeared from the doorway at last and said, 'Get in here, what are you waiting for?'

She moved quickly into the compartment as not to be bowled over by the sweet trolley. She tripped on the small step of the doorway and fell straight on to the floor. There were gasps and a hurry to pick her up but when the fastest picked her up she dusted her self of and muttered a quick thank you before looking into the persons eyes,

She screamed.

'Hi to you too Evans,' James said.

'Get off me Potter.' She spat out.

'Sorry for trying to help!'

'Yeah you should be.'

'HELLO! It's only ten mins into the long journey can't you keep your fighting off till after it's been at least and hour?'

'Sorry Hettie.' James muttered.

'Sorry Harriet,' said Lily then looked up and saw Remus, 'OMG how are you Remus I haven't seen you for days!'

Remus nodded and shared a look with Harriet, they both knew why their visits had become so frequent. Lily's father had gotten out of control since her mother's death.

Lily quickly smiled at him. Reminding him that she was fine now and that she wanted it all in her past.

James saw Lily smile at Remus and briefly wished she could smile at him like that. The thought was then replaced with disgust at the thought of Evans and smile in the same sentence.

He did watch her though for the rest of the train trip out of the corner of his eye though, and he didn't like what he saw.

Lily sat down between Peter and Harriet. She glanced at everyone quickly and drew a sharp breath when she came to Sirius.

He had changed so much. His boyish grin was gone and in place was a manly smile. His short haircut had grown in the holidays and was now just past his ears. She felt herself unintentionally glancing at him ever few seconds.

He felt awkward. He could feel James watching him. He didn't know why, but it was creeping him out…

Then he saw Lily watching him too. This was too crazy. Everyone was watching him. This was it; they're all going to attack him.

'No, no, no. No, no, no! Remember what the shrink said, take it easy, think about it.'

So he did. Why was Lily watching him and James shooting him death glares? The answer, it was obvious.

James liked Lily. No scrap that….

James LOVED Lily.

'OMG!' thought Sirius, 'JAMES POTTER LOVES LILY EVANS!'

'THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END!' He yelled.

This received a giggle from Lily and a look from the marauders, excluding James who was looking surprised due to Lily's giggle. Lily never giggled.

As the train stopped Harriet grabbed Remus' hand and told everyone sadly, 'that's the last time we get of that train as students.'

She gave them all a brief smile before bursting into tears on Remus' shoulder. He simply gave the others a smile and whispered a few words in her ear.

Lily smiled at this, they had been together 2 years now and were still going strong. Now don't get them wrong they had their share of relationship 'problems.'

Like the day Harriet had walked in on Renee Campton given Remus a peek at her tongue, with his.

Or the day Harriet had 'accidentally' thrown out Remus' twelve foot Potions essay.

Like I say they had their 'bumps' but they were still going strong.

As they headed into the carriages Lily quickly found a seat next to Sirius and much to her distaste, James.

James then annoyed her further by staring at her supposedly 'discreetly'.

'POTTER! STOP IT!' she screamed long after her patience had been worn down.

'WHAT?' came the disgruntled reply, although James knew exactly what Lily was talking about.

'YOU ARE….. STARING AT ME!'

'Am not,' even James didn't believe himself.

'Whatever Potter just stay away from me eyes and all.'

James scoffed loudly, 'the day I stare at you EVANS is the day that I marry you!'

'WELL THEN STOP STARING BECAUSE I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO MARRY YOU! I DON'T EVEN WANT TO TALK TO YOU!'

Sirius was watching with some amusement as James' face went from hurt to embarrassment to hurt to thoughtful to angry then back to hurt again.

'it's gunna be a fun year!' he thought.

A:N I'm wondering your opinion on who should find out about 'FLOWER PLAN' All the Maurauders or just one of them and if so which one?

Thanks again
