Chapter 5

The alarm clock woke Lily abruptly from her dreams. She sighed and got out of bed, dressed slowly, and dragged her bags down to the Great Hall. She couldn't believe that it was the end of her 6th year at Hogwarts. Looking back, she remembered how nervous she was when she first entered through the doors, how scared she was to be sorted, and how eager she was to learn how to use her wand. Then she remembered "it."

What was "it"? Lily hated to think about it. "It" had occurred during the first week of class, when she first met "him." The arrogant, annoying, conceited jerk with messy hair. Okay, so his head probably was so blown up when he was in first year, but he was still capable of making life a living hell for anyone he chose. And that one person that he chose was none other than Severus Snape.

Lily didn't understand why he hated Severus Snape so much. Of course, being a muggleborn, she didn't understand the hostility between the two houses. As James Potter and his friend, Sirius Black Wingardium Leviousa'd Snape onto a tree, Lily ran to the rescue. She hated to be bullied, for she had experienced the same at home by the hands of her sister, Petunia.

Of course, being the "noble gentlemen" that they were, James Potter and Sirius Black gave her 3 seconds to leave before they "hexed her into oblivion." Lily wasn't a fan of threats, so she stood her place, only to find that she had sprouted donkey ears and a tail. Thoroughly embarrassed, she ran off crying to the hospital wing.

From then on, she had hated James Potter and his stupid friend, Sirius Black.

"Hey Lily." An all-too familiar voice said behind her, making her jump.

Great, the one person that she had sought to hate from day one. She ignored James and walked over to her best friend, Alice, who was sitting next to her boyfriend, Frank Longbottom.

The rest of the day passed by uneventfully, Lily lugged her bags onto the apartment and found a compartment for Alice, her boyfriend, and her to sit in. The first half of the ride back was very quiet, to Lily's delight. Looks like the Marauders weren't going to play anything stupid.

BOOM! Something exploded, causing all three of them to jump. The door to their compartment all of a sudden swung open, revealing the four Marauders, who hastily squeezed onto the seats.

"Hey Lily." James grinned, sitting down next to him, with his hand in his hair.

Lily groaned. He was the last person on earth she wanted to see. She was already on the edge because of the incident with the moving staircases the other day which caused her to blush (in which she shouted profanities in her mind the whole day, for she couldn't understand why she had such a reaction).

Ignoring him, once again, she returned to her book. James stared at the book. "Pride and Prejudice?" He thought. "What kind of name is that?"

Lily glared at him. "For your information, it's a classic muggle book. But you probably wouldn't understand."

Oops. Had he actually said that aloud? He looked over at his friends, who seemed to be enjoying themselves and playing a game of wizards chess, in which Moony was kicking Wormtail's tail in it.

The compartment once again resumed it's somewhat peacefulness when the compartment door opened again, revealing a slightly disheveled Severus Snape, covered in soot.

Alice and Frank tried to stifle a laugh while the Marauders (except for Remus) roared in laughter. Lily rolled her eyes and once again returned to her book.

"James Potter!" Severus glared.

"Yes, Snivvelus?" James asked innocently.

"Don't try to be innocent Potter. I know that you and your stupid friends played that prank on us."

"Really? How could we do that when we were here the whole time?" Sirius cut in, challenging Severus.

Severus stepped back, for he was outnumbered. "You wait Potter." He hissed. "One day, you'll be punished."

"By whom? Your Dark Lord?" James hissed back. "I bet that's what you're planning after Hogwarts, huh? You're going to be the Dark Lord's royal slave."

"You have no idea what you're talking about Potter."

At that, three wands flew out of their pockets.

"STOP!" Lily yelled, her wand out of her pocket as well. "You will not fight on this train, or I will send word and you wiping the trophies in the trophy case for the rest of your time at Hogwarts!" Lily glared at both of them, causing James and Sirius to step back this time. They knew that once Lily Evans went into prefect mode, if you angered her, her threats would most likely come true.

"I don't need to be bossed by a mudblood." Snape glared at Lily.

Lily returned the glare, her emerald eyes almost seemed like they were on fire. Peter shuddered. He would hate to be on the receiving end of that glare. Even James never received such a glare.

" Fine." Snape snapped, slightly intimidated. "We'll continue this later."

Lily returned to her seat as if nothing strange had happened and returned to her book.

The rest of the train ride proved boring and uneventful. The whistle blew, signaling that all the students were to exit the train. Lily sighed. She wasn't looking forward to the summer. She looked over at Alice, who had fallen asleep on Frank's shoulder, then at the Marauders, who were sniggering, probably about what pranks they would pull during the summer. She caught Remus's eye, and smiled.

She followed everyone off the train, gathered her bags, and started towards the barrier.

"Wait!" A familiar voice yelled behind her. "Lily! WAIT!"

She turned around, only to see James Potter running towards her.

"Uhh…" James said as he approached her.

"What is it Potter?" Lily asked, sounding annoyed. She was actually glad that she didn't have to see her family yet. More specifically, that one member in her family, her sister, Petunia.

"Uhh… have a good summer!" He said, embarrassed.

Lily was surprised that James and run all the way to tell her that. "You too." She smiled.

James turned an even deeper shade of red when Lily smiled at him. She's never smiled at me before. She smiled at me. Oh my gosh. She smiled at me. Great Godric. She smiled…

Lily stood there watching James, amused (and slightly confused) at his reaction.

"Well, see you James." Lily turned around and headed towards the barrier.

"I'll write to you!" was the last thing she heard before going through. Lily put on a smile as she saw her family, standing awkwardly and staring at the wall.

And then there was Petunia, who looked like she was going to murder her.

Great. This is going to be wonderful.

I went back and edited some of the earlier chapters, just because it was starting to annoy me. :P

Anywho, please write a review for this! :D

thanks for reading! :)
