CHAPTER 2

Okay, so there I was, standing on platforms 9 and 10, without a single clue what to do next. I was attracting quite a few funny looks. My mom was also standing there, looking fairly uncomfortable, every few seconds checking her watch. 10:45, 10:46... 10:50. By that time, I was desperate. I was feeling dizzy so I leaned on the wall for support, clutching hard onto the wooden truck on the trolley. Mom also stood next to me. Suddenly, I started falling; I felt like I was sucked through the wall. On instinct, I used my free hand to grope for something to stop me from falling. My hand found my mom's sleeve and we both and the trolley tumbled and fell over to the other side of the wall.

People were laughing at us. We hastily stood us and brushed the dirt off our clothes.

Then a voice came behind us. "You've never been on the platform before, have you?"

Whirling around, I saw myself looking into the eyes of a cute boy, around my age.Oh my god, did I just say cute! He had medium-long dark brown hair and the most amazing liquid-chocolate eyes. He was grinning to one side, he looked so daft. But he's cute. Shut up. Well he is. I know he is – just don't say it.

Trying to sound casual, I said, "Yeah, was it really that obvious?"

He laughed. "Noooo, of course not." Something in his voice started to annoy me.

I frowned. "You're making fun of me. I don't like people who make fun of me."

He stopped smiling, noting the look in my eyes. "Sorry, I was just trying to be friendly."

I snorted. "Well you're doing a pretty lousy job."

He smirked. "Yeah? Well I've never been much good at conversations. Hey, what's your name?"

"Lily Evans."

He smiled. "Yeah well, I'm Sirius Black. Listen, I have to go. I'll be in the last compartment. Come for a visit. Cya!" He waved and started walking towards the back of the train.

I started hunting around for an empty compartment and near the end, I found a nearly empty one with a girl sitting inside. As I slid open the door, she looked up. She was bottle blonde with blue eyes. Wahhh! I want to have her blonde hair, blue eyes!

I smiled weakly. "Hey, is this seat free? Everywhere else is full."

She smiled. Wow, she must get through 10 bottles of teeth whitener a week. "Sure, this seat is free."

I sat down opposite her. Five minutes passed in silence. As the train started to leave, I leaned out of the window to wave to my mom. When I sat back down, I started to talk. "Soooo...I'm Lily Evans."

She blinked. "Oh, I'm Susannah Falcov."

I started yabbering on. I tend to yabber when I meet new people. "I turned 11 a month ago. I like dogs, cats, fish, mice, turtles; practically everything that has to do with animals. I also have a sister she is like soooo annoying and she doesn't appreciate ANYTHING I do and she's a total freak and dyes her hair blonde. Did I happen to mention that I like turtles? Well, I used to have a turtle called Merlin. He died after Petunia, that's my sis tried to flush him down the toilet, I was 3 and she was 5. And yeah, that was the end of Merlin. Also I used to like t...What?" I suddenly stopped when I looked at Susannah's expression.

She started laughing like mad and after a while, I started laughing too. A few minutes later we stopped laughing and wiped the last of our tears away.

I started talking again. "What were we laughing about?"

She shrugged. "Dunno, I don't know. I tend to laugh at everything. I can look at a tree and laugh, I can look at a teacher and laugh straight into their face; I'm just a laughaholic."

I grinned and at that precise moment, the door slid open and in came three boys. I recognized Sirius.

Sirius smiled at me. "Hey Lil. This is James Potter," gesturing towards the black-haired, blue-eyed boy, " and Remus Lupin." He motioned towards the brown-haired, grey-eyed boy.

I raised my eyebrows. "Yeah, well this is Susannah Falcov."

Sirius laughed. "So in this compartment are two pretty girls, eh?"

I flushed and went, "Yeah, sure."

It was then that I had this peculiar feeling in my stomach, like someone was watching me. I looked up and saw James. He was looking at me like I was a ghost or something. He's sooooooo hot! I cannot believe you just said that. Well, he is, no denying it. Still Lil, you've NEVER said that anyone's hot... well, this is the first time. Oooooo, Lil's in love. Shut up. I quickly looked down.

Sirius apparently started speaking again. "...yeah, so guys, I think we'd better go and leave Lil and Sav in their girl compartment."

I glared at him.

Sirius waved yet again and pulled James and Remus out of our compartment. The door slid closed.

Savannah broke the silence. "Well...I was wondering what was going on between you and James."

My throat felt dry. "What do you mean!"

Savannah smiled impishly. "Weellllll...he just couldn't keep his eyes off you and your eyes off him, could you?"

I threw my jacket at her.

From that day on, Savannah became my best friend. It's been five years since that day and Savannah still laughs at everything. We have completely different personalities but as they say, opposites attract.
