Chapter Three – Back in England
The Evans family moved to a nice fair sized manor on the country side, Lily still didn't like the idea of going to Hogwarts instead of her beloved Italian school. She met a friendly giant named Hagrid from Hogwarts who took her to Diagon Alley, to get her school supplies. She spent the last month of summer reading all her books and spending time with her family (Petunia didn't count as family in her opinion).
The days soon got closer till Lily left to Hogwarts; she had become so nerves and would write to her friends back in Italy. On the morning of September the first came to quickly for her only like, she had dressed and dragged her trunk downstairs. Lily walked into the kitchen to find her parents waiting for her. "Morning darling," her mother said as Lily sat down. "Morning, where's horse fa- um… I mean Petunia?" said Lily correcting herself on time.
"She's sleeping in today and hopes you have a good school year," answered her father as he smiled. "Petunia said that! I thought she would say something with freak in it?" wondered Lily out loud. "Lillian, you know your sister loves you very much, she just doesn't show it very well," her mother assured her. Lily snorted as she drank her juice, the day her sister would be nice to her would be the day hell froze over.
After the had breakfast the Evans hurried to Kings cross station, Lily wondered how they go to the school, all she knew was that she had to go to platform 3 1/4 how weird was that? "Now Lily, where do you need to go?" asked her father as he put her trunk and pet owl on a trolley. "Well the ticket says to go to platform 3 1/4 does that help," she explained. Lily looked up to see her parents looking at her as if she were kidding.
"Lily, sweetie we don't have time for your jokes. We know that you're not happy with changing schools, but please it's almost eleven," nagged Rosaline. Lily rolled her eye, that's what happens when you lie to your parents, they don't believe you later in time. She showed them her ticket; Mark took it in his hand and read it before giving it to his wife. The Evans family walked towards the platform between nine and ten wondering where to go.
Suddenly Lily saw something that made her think that she was seeing things. Had a girl just walked into a barrier? Two boys caught her eye; she was determined to see what happens. One moment they were there the next they were gone from sight; she looked around and noticed that no one seemed to have seen the boys disappear. "Um… mum, dad I think I know how to get to the platform," Lily started.
"Really, well how it's ten to eleven," said Mark, looking at his daughter. Lily explained about going through the barrier and it being the gateway to the wizardly world. "Well, I guess you should be going then," Rosaline said as she hugged her daughter tightly. After saying good bye to her parents, Lily turned to face the barrier it looked pretty solid to her. She took a deep breath and ran towards the barrier and saw that it didn't hurt at all.
As she came through the other side, Lily's trolley crashed into someone else's trolley. Both Lily, the boy and their things came crashing to the ground. "Oy, watch where you're bloody going," cursed one of the boys. "Me, how dare you crash into me!" shouted Lily as she picked her things and put them in her trolley. Lily straighten up to se two tall and handsome boys in front of her, one of the had elegant shaggy black hair that fell to his warm gray-silver eyes and the other also had black hair although it was messier and hazel eyes behind a pair of framed glasses.
Both boys looked up to see a very pretty red headed girl stand in front of them. The beauty of the girl caught James Potter's eye; she had long red wavy hair that curled at the end, and her eyes, were a bright emerald green. James looked down toward her neck; there around it was a white gold locket that looked very familiar to him. Lily saw that one of the boys was looking at her locket, she slowly place her hand on it. James broke away from his dazed look when he heard his friend Sirius Black spoke.
"Did it hurt when you fell out of heaven because I'm looking at an angel," said Sirius Black. Lily rolled her emerald eyes, she had heard that pick up line so many times it was old. "Of the entire pick up lines you could've said, you chose the one that lost it's meaning," she mused. James thought that it was his turn now; he pushed Sirius out of the way and walked up to her. He ran a hand through his hair and flashed Lily his famous loop- sided smile.
"James, James Potter," he said as he stuck out his hand for her to shake. Lily could tell that these boys thought themselves god's gift to girls. She smiled charmly at him; he had no idea who he was talking to. "I don't care!" Lily answered nastily before turning her back on them. "Prongs, she's a feisty one!" exclaimed Sirius as he looked at his friend. "She's mine," said James as he watched the pretty red head get on the train.
In one of the compartment rooms in the back of the train sat three other girls at down; they were all in Gryffindor House, they were known as the most beautiful girls in the sixth year. They were; Alexandra "Alexa" Vine, Roxanne "Roxy" White and Jacqueline "Maddie" Midnight. They had been friends since the first year and hated the Marauders with a passion. They were all talking until someone knocked on their door. Alexa went to open it only to find a red headed girl standing there.
"Hello, do you mind if I sit with you, all the others or full?" asked Lily to her. Alexa smiled and nodded as she made room for Lily to come in, something of her told her that she was going to be a friend. "Girls this is, um… sorry I didn't get your name," said Alexa turning to Lily. "Lily Evans," replied Lily with a smile. "Well, Lily this is Jacqueline, Roxanne and I'm Alexandra," she said pointing out herself and the others. The one named Jacqueline rolled her eyes at her friend before smiling at Lily.
"Sorry about Alexa, we rather go by sorter names, I'm Maddie and this is Roxy," she explained. "So Lily, you're new to Hogwarts right?" asked Roxy. "Yes, I was studying in Italy, but my dad was transferred back to England. We used to live here, my family left to Rome when I was five," said Lily. "Oh, you're so lucky. I've heard that Rome is beautiful!" exclaimed Alexa. "Rome is beautiful, but what I've seen of London its lovely," Lily said.
In the short time the girls talked, they had become fast friends. Lily didn't think it was going to be easy gaining a new friendship, but she was happy becoming friends with Alexa, Roxy and Maddie. Every thing would be perfect if she got into Gryffindor with her new friends and kept James Potter out of her life in Hogwarts.
