Lily sat in the train compartment gazing out of the steamed up window at the bustling families still clustered on the platform saying hasty goodbyes as the minutes wore on. She glanced up at the clock and not for the first time wondered where the hell her friends were.
I mean it isn't like they're always on time, but they're never this late.Then with a jolt Lily recognized a jet-black head among the crowd, but a moment later and it was gone. Lily pressed her head against the pane disbelievingly.
"You'll bang your head like that."
Lily jumped at the sudden noise and bashed her head against the window frame.
"Told you."
She turned to face her friend. She smiled, a rather short individual sat before her, a lot of people wouldn't have thought she was in fifth year but, lily reminisced, they were usually made to see the mistake. A sheet of ebony hair framed an impish face and large electric blue eyes faced her for the first time in weeks.
"God I've missed you Ebony."
Lily mumbled which was greeted with giggles and a rather enveloping yet bony hug.
"Feelings mutual."
"What do we have here then?"
A rather smooth voice enquired from the compartment door. Ebony grinned.
" You're lookin' a bit ruff Sirius."
He maturely returned her comment by sticking his tongue out and threw himself into the opposite seat. A grinning James, an apologetic looking Remus and a wreck of a peter filed in behind him.
"Hey hey hey, what's with stealing our compartment?"
Ebony protested loudly as the boys tried to squash in. To which James replied,
"Oh there's plenty of room if you and Lily squish up a bit."
A lot of groaning and bruises later, a rather disgruntled looking Ebony sat leaning against the compartment door, Remus to her left who looked the worst for wear after being repeatedly wacked over the head by James's case, then Lily sat by the window, James opposite who was running his hands through his hair nervously, Sirius sat grinning insanely at them all and Peter looked like he was about to explode huddled up in the corner of the compartment.
"Well this is cosy"
"Shut it dog-boy"
"Yeah shut up Padfoot"
"Well I know when I'm not wanted."
Ebony looked at him expectantly, glanced at the door, and back at Sirius.
"I'm not leaving Sharpe, forget it."
Ebony mumbled something about flea collars and turned to face the compartment door. After a rather tense and silent half an hour Sirius sat up in his seat grinning and pointed out of the compartment door.
"Hey look! Its Snivellus!"
The girls rolled their eyes as James and Sirius shuffled past them in an effort to reach the door. Ebony protested as the door slid out from underneath her head and James' elbow was shoved into her face.
"Hey Snivellus! What shampoo do you use? 'Cause I was thinking of going with the greasy slime ball look this year. Oh wait you don't use shampoo do you."
Ebony sighed,
this is going to be a long year…
