Chapter 3

On the train

Lily's P.O.V.

"What do you think it'll be like?" Becky asked Lily while they were trying to find some way to entertain themselves instead of playing Exploding Snap for the sixth time. Lily shrugged and flipped her red hair over her shoulder.

"Who knows? Bet we'll cause mayhem though." Lily's eyes were twinkling mischeviously.

"There's already mayhem at that school, dear." The girls looked up to see the lady coming down their corridor with the lunch trolley. Becky got out her money satchel, but Lily quirked an eyebrow at the trolley lady.

"What do you mean?" she asked curiously.

"They're famous by now, dear. The Marauders of Hogwarts, that's what they call themselves. Those four cause more trouble than anyone could, you mark my words." The trolley lady sighed. "One time they caused such a fuss on the train, I swear, I had such a mess to clean after that."

"How old were they, then?"

"Oh they're in your year now, dear. But then, they were only in first year. Yes, you two will have your work cut out for you. Those two hold the record set for detentions. There is no beating them." The lady took Becky's money and handed her the Pumpkin Pasties and Licorice Wands and strolled down the hall, humming God Rest Ye Merry Hippogriffs to herself. Lily closed the compartment door.

"Woah this is so amazing." said Lily "We are going to place that actually has other troublemakers, this is going to be so weird!"

"Yeah I know and the cooler thing is we are going to a co-ed school, it's so much better than being at that Barbie-paradise, princess prep school hell." added Becky. "I swear, one more day in that place and I'll send myself to Azkaban for relief. It'll be good for a change of scenery."

"Look!" said Lily pointing towards the window. "We're here!"

"WOW, this place is so much better than that preppy girl school of ours!" stated Becky.

"As Madame Lavoongia always says 'Vamanos!' said Lily exuberantly while reaching for her bags.

"When has she ever said that?" questioned Becky.

"I don't know maybe she's really Spanish but posing French?"

"Whatever come on I don't want to miss dinner, and maybe we'll see some cute guys." said Becky

"Ok but I call dibs on the hottest one!"

Great Hall

James P.O.V.

"Guess what Jamesy boy?" said Sirius as he plopped down next to his best friend in the Great Hall for dinner.

"What?" asked James not melancholic. He had been waiting the whole day yesterday and today for something special to happen and it never came.

"I know something you don't know." sang Sirius waiting for James' expression to change from bored to curious or jealous…or both as was always preferred. James continued to sit, uninterested, and Sirius continued to sing "It's about a girl, It's about a girl."

James sat up straight he loved talking about girls no matter what his mood.

"Sirius you know you want to tell me." said James trying to keep Sirius from knowing how much he wanted to know.

"I don't know Jamesy boy, what do I get out of it?"

"A happy friend." James said, trying to make this sound as appealing as possible. Sirius went for the bait.

"Well I heard that…"

"Children, Children settle down." Sirius was interrupted by a booming voice from the teacher's table at the end of the hall. Professor Dumbledore, the headmaster, was standing up. Everyone in the Great Hall stopped to look up at him. "I have some very special news! I would like to introduce two new students Lily Evans and Rebecca Frubur." He motioned to two girls that looked like they were around 15 years old that were standing beside him. Lily and Rebecca, from what James could see, looked down at the Hall with not a trace of shyness on their faces. They were surveying their new classmates. "They came to us from an all girl school and I hope that you will make them feel very welcome!" Dumbledore concluded.

"Is this the girl news you were talking about? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

said James questioning Sirius.

"I only found out in McGonagall's class."

Wow, thought James this is the special thing that was going to happen to me!

James' eyes kept straying over to the girl that Dumbledore introduced as Lily. She moved with such poise. She captivated James as she laughed with her friend and walked toward the Slytherin Table. James had a sudden urge to join the Slytherins--something that he thought would NEVER happen in his entire Hogwarts career.

Teacher's table

Lily's P.O.V.

Dumbledore had just introduced them when he said:

"Since we had such short notice we haven't had a chance to send for the Sorting Hat. He happens to be in the Bahamas I believe." said Dumbledore chuckling. Lily and Becky couldn't tell if he was serious or not. "For now though why don't you sit with the Slytherins since you were sent here for bad behavior."

"Now, now, Albus." Professor McGonagall, a stern looking witch said. "Don't tease the students, it's their first day."

"Girls the Slytherin table is over there." said McGonagall pointing. "We will worry about getting you the proper attire tomorrow but for now get something to eat." Becky and Lily started down toward the Slytherin table. All the students seemed to be eyeing them with interest. Calling after them she added "Come to me later so you can see where your room will be."

"This is going to be so fun." said Becky as they walked to the Slytherin table.

"Yeah. No one knows us here. It's a fresh start. We could even pretend to be someone else."

"But that would be annoying." stated Becky.

"--Of course."

"Of course. And anyways why would we need to change our already perfect personalities?" Becky joked

"Well you might think that, but Madame Lavoongia sure didn't." said Lily.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, she just pretended not to like us but you knooow she loved us. We were such a change compared to those stereotypical robots." Becky reassured them

"--of course." Lily agreed with a smile

"Of course."

Great Hall

James P.O.V.

"It's like they're on the walk of death, being stared at by so many people like that. And they're just talking!" said Peter amazed. Though many things amazed him since he wasn't calm and many brains he didn't have. Although, it was noted that many of the people that were staring at them were the guys. Almost everyone from 1st to 7th year was watching them move with grace.

"How do they do that?"

"Wow."

"Just talking!"

Those were the words muttered all over the room as the girls walked towards the table.
