A/N: to all those readers out there, PLEASE REVIEW MY STORIES! I want to make them as good as possible! Thanx!

Walking down the aisle, James was finally able to track down his friends. He opened the compartment door the same way he did with Lily's compartment, stepped in, and closed it just the same as he did with Lily's. In the compartment sat James' three best friends: Sirius Black, the bad boy, Remus Lupin, the wiz kid, and Peter Pettigrew, the extra.

"'Bout time you got here, Prongs." Said Sirius.

"Yeah, we were starting to worry about you." Added Remus.

"I just saw Lily, again." James said to his friends.

"Oh. So how'd it go?" Asked Remus.

" How do you think?!?" Shouted James that stunned the whole group.

"That bad, huh?" Said Sirius.

"What am I doing wrong? Why won't she go out with me?!?" asked James in distress.

Sadly (and kind of pathetically), none of his friends knew the answer to that.

Back at Lily's compartment, Miranda was so shocked at how Lily was towards James.

"What is WRONG with you?!?" Shouted Miranda to Lily, looking at her like she was some sort of nutcase.

"What?!?" Lily shouted back to Miranda.

"The James Potter just asked you out and you rejected him, that's what!" Replied Miranda in a tone that could've set off firecrackers.

"Miranda, you should know by now how Lily won't go out with him." Said Regina calmly.

"Still, I would've thought she could at least give him a chance." Thought Miranda aloud.

"Look, if you love and adore him so much, why don't you go out with him?" Suggested Lily to Miranda.

"I would if he liked me half as much as he likes you." Answered Miranda.

"Please! Do you seriously think he likes me at all? If I do go out with him, he'll eventually get bored with me, dump me, and go off to search for another innocent victim." Said Lily, trying to maintain her temper towards her so-called, Potter-crazed friend.

Nobody said anything for a while. The silence was broken by Regina when she declared,

"I'm going out with Remus Lupin."

"WHAT?!?" shouted her two friends at the same time.

"I said-"

"I know damn well what you said!" Cried Lily. "How could you when you knew how I felt about Potter and his friends?!? How could you?!?"

"It's not like I'm going out with Potter!" Regina debated.

"It might as well be!"

"It's not the same!"
"Yes it is!"

"No it isn't!"

"Yes it is!"
"No it isn't"
"Uh-huh!"
"Nuh-uh!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Would you two just stop this!!" Miranda screamed that seemed to have made the entire train silent. Nobody, including the whole train, talked until a second later, then the noise of the train returned to normal volume.

In Lily's compartment, however, it couldn't be anymore quiet. If the silence could kill, nobody on the train would be alive.
