Kings Cross was as busy as normal, Lily hadn't expected any less. She looked at her father, last year Petunia and her mother, as well as her father, has come. But this time it was only her father. She smiled at her.
"Fifteen minutes hun, we are doing well. Do you want me to go through with you?" He looked at the barrier that has 'platform 9' on one side and 'platform 10' on the other. Lily nodded and then clutching her trolley, she ran towards it. In a quick second she was on the busy platform of 'platform 9 ¾'. Lily's father took her trolley and guided her towards the scarlet red train. 'Hogwarts express' was its name. "Let's find you a place to sit Lily dear" her father said.
"Oh, don't worry daddy, I'll put my trunk on the train. Stay here and I'll be right back" Lily smiled. Her father listened and Lily made her way onto the train. It was packed, she recognised a lot of people either older or the same age. But then there were a few new faces. First years.
Lily found the cabin she'd been looking for. Stormy sat on one side, reading the daily prophet. Stormy was the same age as Lily, except she was a half-blood. Not a muggles-born like Lily.
Stormy was very pretty, she had long thick dark brown hair, and she was tall. But on her right arm, and neck there were huge scars. She didn't tell anyone how she'd gotten them, and didn't seem very intent on ever doing so. The only one who probably knew the truth was her brother, who as similar scars. Across from Stormy, not speaking was Severus Snape, or Sev as Lily called him. She smiled as she entered the cabin, and then Sev jumped up to greet her. They shared a long, perhaps too long, hug, before Sev help Lily lift her trunk up to the space above the seats. Lily hugged Stormy – for a lot less long than Sev – and then dashed out of the train to say goodbye to her father.

The train ride took the whole day.
Nothing very interesting happened the whole time, Stormy bought chocolate frogs and some other candy when the trolley came around – Sev, Lily and Stormy ate those all quickly. And then after about three or four hours James Potter turned up.
He liked Lily, and he hated Sev, and he really didn't have a problem with Stormy. James came into the cabin, keeping away from Sev – making a few rude jokes which Sev and Lily ignored – and then started to talk to Lily. Remus went and sat by his sister, asking a few quiet questions which no one else payed attention to. And then Sirius and Peter played along with everything.
"Do you ever use shampoo Snivellus?" Sirius laughed, opened up a chocolate frog he had found and eating it. He turned over the card. "Dumbledore again" he muttered.
Sirius Black was from the well known Black family. The Black's were all purebloods, and were proud of that. All of the black's were sorted into the Slytherin, except Sirius. He was in Gryffindor, along with Lily, James, Remus, Peter and Stormy (Sadly I've made her a Gryffindor for this, normally she is a Ravenclaw. But I figured the story would work a lot better with her being a Gryffindor….Anyway! Let's get back to the story) Sev was, sadly, in Slytherin.
Sirius was very different from his family, and wasn't a great supporter of You-Know-Who.
You-Know-Who was Lord Voldemort, but no one really mention him by name. He believed that magic was only for Purebloods, and that wizards shouldn't mix with muggles. Wizards marrying muggles caused half-bloods. You-Know-Who had a huge group of followers, the Death Eaters as they were called.
"So lily, what do you think?" James Potter asked. Lily sighed.
"No, James, I don't want to go out with you. Now please leave" Lily complained, crossing her arms.
"Okay then" James stood up. "Let's go guys" he said, looking at Peter, Sirius and Remus.
Peter Pettigrew wasn't really in their group – James, Sirius and Remus's – he was more of a follower. He was always highly amused by what James did; it was like James was his idol.
James made his way to the door, followed by Sirius and Peter. Remus was still talking to his sister.
"And if anything happens-"
"Remus, you are the one that needs to be worrying you know I'm not-" Remus nodded, cutting Stormy off. They hugged and then Remus left.

The train slowly pulled to a stop. They were In Hogsmeade the beginning of the year was nearly here.
