Hi ya peeps! 'Sup? I know, you're probably all ready to kill me… but, it's not my fault! I just posted this new story, and I've been getting WAY more reviews on it than on this, and so, I've been working harder to get it updated. Anyway, here I am, updating! Anyway, this is IMPORTANT! I will be doing one more chapter after this of year one. Then, it's into summer vacation, and then into second year. The next chapter WILL be the last one while they are first years! Enjoy! Oh ya, and, I want you to tell me your opinion on something. Should year two be a different story? Like a sequel? Or should it continue in this? YOU TELL ME!

Disclaimer: For what is now the 15th time, not mine.

Chapter 15: After Break

Christmas came and went, and soon, break was over, and the gang was heading back to school.

James was smiling again, and Sirius was no longer on a warpath.

Anyway, they were all sitting around on the train, in the same compartment on their way back from school.

Lily was just sitting around and eating vanilla pudding from those nifty cool little pudding cups, and listening to one of her favorite bands, 15 minutes late.

She looked out the window, and saw an owl flapping around. She quickly opened the window and grabbed it.

She saw that it had a lily (how original) and a note attached to it.

Dear Lily,

Hello! Don't you think Dear is a little formal? I don't like it, but I put it on there anyway. Anyway, how are you? I didn't dare come talk to you during the rest of break, just in case Sirius was there, which I bet he was. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I'm three compartments down from you, if you wanted to step out and see the four of us for a little while. Hope to see you soon!

-Brandon

She laughed quietly to herself. She liked his handwriting. She quickly wrote a letter back to him.

Dear Brandon,

Hi! Yes, I think dear is a little formal too. And, you were right, Sirius didn't stop tailing me all break. He even tried to come into the ladies washroom with me! Yes, thanks for letting me know that you are so close. I'll try to sneak out. I have a plan, and if it works, I should be there in about ten minutes. See you soon!

-Lily

She sent the letter back with the owl. To her surprise, there was another owl waiting there. She pulled it inside, and it flew over to Parker. The boys were watching suspiciously, but weren't saying anything. Probably because Lily put a silencing spell on them.

Parker read her letter, looked up at Lily, and they exchanged letters.

Hello, My dear Playground.

Yes, I know you hate it when I call you that. You're probably plotting my death right now. Anyway, I just wanted to say that we are three compartments down, so, stop by if you get the chance. Oh ya and Frank wants you to invite Alice. And now, apparently, judging by the way he's chanting "ask her, ask her, ask her!" Ben wants you to invite Steph. I think Brandon already sent Lily a letter. But, I don't know, because he's staring dreamily into space and won't answer us right now. So, if he didn't, invite Lily along too. Maybe she can snap Brandon out of his stupor. Hoping to see you soon!

-Ryan

Lily read Ryan's large, cursive scrawl, and laughed at his very effective joke about PARKer's name.

She waited for Parker to write her reply, before writing a note that explained her plan. Parker shared the note with Alice and Steph, and soon the plan was in motion.

They un-silenced the boys. They played a game of exploding snap. Then, Lily spoke.

"I'm going to the bathroom. NO, Sirius, I'm perfectly able to go by myself, thank you." She stood and left.

"You know, I have to go too. Too much orange juice this morning. Be right back." Parker explained. She too left.

"You know, I'm hungry. Wanna come to the front of the train to get food with me, Alice?" Steph stood.

"Sure. I'm kind of hungry too." And without another word, the two of them left.

The four girls met up out side of the compartment, laughing.

"That was good. Let's go." Parker laughed.

So, they all went and walked three compartments away from their own. And stumbled upon a group of rather unhappy Slytherins.

"Um…. I'm guessing they meant three compartments down THE OTHER WAY!" Lily said as they ran.

They finally found the right compartment.

The girl stumbled into the compartment, laughing their heads off.

Although they didn't know what was so funny, the boys started laughing too.

"So, how was your break?" Brandon asked Lily as she stepped in.

"It was fine. Thanks for the gift, all four of you." Lily said, fingering the necklace with a small lily flower on it, that they had given her.

"Yeah, thanks." The other four girls coursed. The boys had given each of them a necklace as well.

Alice and Frank were off in a corner talking about one thing or another within a few minutes.

Lily and Brandon were playing checkers, being as they were both muggle born.

Steph was talking to Ben about his move. You see, Ben used to live in America, but moved here, because there wasn't a wizarding school in America. He missed his parents, who had stayed in America, but was enjoying it here very much.

And Parker had taken her place back on Ryan's lap. They both looked as though they were very… happy… with their current positions. If you know what I mean.

Suddenly the compartment door banged open in a cloud of smoke.

Lily felt herself being hoisted onto someone's strong, broad shoulders.

Even though she couldn't see a thing, she knew it wasn't Sirius; his shoulders were much narrower.

The smoke cleared, and she saw a mess of brown, messy hair. Oh, so she was on Potter's back.

She knew that she hated him, but she also knew that his back was very comfortable.

She rested her head on his head of soft, well conditioned, and very good smelling hair, and felt very content.

Suddenly, she realized something. This was POTTER!

She struggled to get off.

"Should we let them go, Sirius?" James asked.

"No. Not in their lifetime." Sirius said, rather serious at the moment.

"Aye-aye Captain!" James said brightly, and made sure he had a good grip on Lily.

Lily looked around. For the first time, she realized that she was on James' back, not Sirius'.

She whipped her head around. Parker was on Sirius' back. And she was NOT happy about it.

"Let. Me. GO!" She kept repeating over and over. But he wasn't. As a matter of fact, he was smiling to himself.

Very confused, and not caring that this was James Potter, the boy she loathed, she put her head back on his, and somehow fell asleep, with the last thought of "Wow. It's taking a long time to move three compartments. I wonder where we're going."
