Chapter Two: The Platform

James Potter ruffled his already dishevelled hair as he walked between the barrier separating platforms nine and ten. He suppressed an inward gasp as he fell into the platform that held the majestic hogwarts express. He would never get used to slipping in-between the platforms. He bent down to grab his hogwarts trunk and was nearly clasping the handle when a hand clapped on his back and someone yelled, "PRONGS!"

James whipped around his face grinning, "PADFOOT! Mate, how have you been?" He hugged Sirius Black, his oldest and best friend. They pulled out from the embrace and James caught his vivid azure eyes gleaming. "I've been alright you?"

"Same old, same old, Sirius."

"So, you gonna help me find a compartment with Peter?" Sirius asked pointing towards a scrawny looking boy, the boys' friend Peter Pettigrew. "Remus, naturally is going to sit with his old prefect chums for a while, but he'll be back," Sirius lowered his voice, "He's not head boy like we'd expected…wonder who is." He said looking pensive

James gulped, he hadn't thought about what it would be like for Remus. Out of all the boys Remus was the most sensible, he took heed of the rules, he deserved the head boy badge, at least everyone thought so. Why on earth had Dumbledore given the badge to him?

"Something troubling you mate?" Sirius asked as both Remus and Peter approached.

"I…I," James stammered as he looked at James. Remus was his friend, a good friend, he wouldn't get upset…"I'm head boy, so, no I can't help you look for a compartment, I have to sit with the prefects and head girl." James mumbled.

Sirius, Peter and Remus stood there dumbfounded for a while.

Then Remus smiled, and clapped him on the back, "Well done mate."

James looked at him, and grinned, "Thanks."

Then Remus' attention swung from his friend to something or rather someone at the other side of the platform…marching towards James.

"POTTER!" James cringed as the girl of his dreams screeched his name with such loathing.

"Yes, Lily?"

"Is this a joke?" She spat her beautiful emerald eyes flashing with anger and was that a hint of worry?

"Excuse me?" James replied, simply starring at her as her auburn hair drifted in the wind.

Lily narrowed her eyes, why was James being so… nice. Was this a prank?

"MJ told me that you were head boy, she said she over heard you."

MJ was Lily's closest friend, she had known her for all her seven years in Hogwarts and she also knew that her raven-haired friend had a slight crush on Sirius Black. But she would never tell, to her a secret was a secret.

James sighed, ready to get his eardrums broken, why did he have to fall for the only girl on this planet that hated his guts? "It's not a joke, Lily, it's true. I am head boy. Here." He opened his hand that held his shiny red and gold badge. "And here," he gave her the letter containing the information about his appointment as head boy if she thought that he had taken Remus' badge or something.

Lily stood there shocked and confused. "Why would Dumbledore give it you, I mean you're like the biggest trouble maker on this planet Potter!"

James bit his tongue, as he kept himself from retorting with an evil remark. Stay cool James, if you want her you have to be nice, show her you've matured, changed.

"Well, frankly I don't know myself, but I suppose Dumbledore has his reasons," he peered at the trunk she was hauling behind her, "You want me to carry that?" Taking her silence as a 'yes' he garbbed the handle of Lily's trunk as well as his own and with much effort began to slowly drag the trunks into the train.

Lily Evans' eyebrows shot up as she saw her mortal enemy almost drag her trunk along, with his to the prefects department. She whirled around to see the rest of James' gang also starring in disbelief.

MJ skipped along to converse with her friend and rescue her from the clutches of Potter, and to see Sirius, naturally but could only say one thing as she watched the scene before her amused.

"Lily, is that James Potter doing a decent thing for another human being?"
