A/N: Please review! Nobody's listening! (lol)
At long last the train arrived at Hogwarts. Lily, still not talking to Regina, stepped down from the train with Regina and Miranda as James and his gang did the same. When they entered the magnificent great hall, both groups went their separate ways and looked for seats. Lily saw the timid, scared-looking first years and recalled her first time arriving at Hogwarts.
Flashback:
Lily entered the great hall without much confidence. She was muggle-born so it was hard for her to make friends, sadly. After being sorted into Gryffindor, she sat down at the Gryffindor table and met Regina Lin, also a first year. The next day, they met Miranda Leslie during Transfiguration, and the three of them have been friends ever since.
End Flashback.
When the sorting and the feast ended and Dumbledore finished his speech, Lily and her group of friends went to the Gryffindor common room entrance. Then, they realized none of them knew the new password.
"Allow me." Said a suave voice behind them. The girls turned around to find that James and his group were walking towards them.
James cleared his throat and said clearly and grandly, "Cornish Pixie."
"Correct, said the Fat Lady as she swung open the portrait, revealing a large opening behind it.
"Ladies first." Said Sirius to Lily and her friends.
Ignoring their snide comments, the girls entered the portrait hole and stepped into the common room. The room was filled with a warm light coming from the fire in the fireplace. Red and gold showered the room and immediately made everyone feel right at home.
Lily went up to the girls' dormitories to find that her trunk and caged brown and white spotted owl, Olive, were standing neatly beside her bed. Lily looked around to find Regina and suddenly stumbled across her.
"I am so sorry!" they said to each other at the same time.
"You were right. I should've never gone out with him after knowing how much you despise them." Regina pleaded.
"No, if anyone's sorry, it's me. I was unfair and a total jerk towards you. If you really want to see him, go right ahead." Argued Lily.
"You're not a jerk. Only guys can be jerks. You're a jerkette." Regina teased.
Lily laughed at that and they both went to look for the missing third girl.
When they reached the common room, Regina told Lily that she's going to look for Remus. Lily and Regina said their goodbyes and went their separate ways. Looking for Miranda, Lily didn't pay much attention to where she was going or the fact that she was walking backwards now. Because of that, Lily tripped and stumbled backwards, falling into the arms of James Potter.
