Hey everyone!
Review: There was the dance. Lily and her friends got caught up in the Marauders prank. She danced with Remus, and tried to make James mad.
PS, my chapters looked a lot longer when they were written down on notebook paper :/
This one might be a little bit shorter, but I'm trying to lengthen it.
Chapter 3: Going home
The train rattled on as I made my way to Alex and Mary's car. On my way to the back of the train, I passed the Marauders' compartment.
They were laughing and joking and shoving each other around, just as usual. It was clear that any amnosity that had gone between them was now gone.
Personally, I was very relieved. Nobody wants to be the reason for an argument between the closest group of friends the school has ever known.
When I got to the back of the train and into my friends' car, we talked and joked around just like always.
Several hours later, though, the train lurched to a stop. I looked out the window. Yep. We were most definitely smack dab in the middle of nowhere. Alex, Mary, and I began goofing off and chattering about all the possible (and even very definitely impossible) reasons for the train to stop.
We were laughing like crazy. But then, the compartment door slid open and the grin was immediately wiped clean off of my face.
In the doorway stood Potter and Black.
"What?" I asked, a little harser than intended, but I didn't really care anyways.
"Well… we were just coming to see whether or not you guys knew why the train had stopped," James replied.
I have no idea what happened just then or why that question infuriated me so much, but it did. I'd have to guess it was just my anger from the night before just got the best of me, and I started yelling.
"Why in the world would WE know why the train had stopped? If you really want to know the answer to that very stupid question of yours, go ask the conductor or something! Just leave us alone!"
Potter looked 100 percent, completely shocked. Sirius let out a low whistle.
"Okay then…" Sirius said.
"Well… bye." Potter added, and him and Black backed out of our compartment.
I turned around to face my two friends sitting there, and both of their faces were very shocked and their eyes were pretty darn wide at my sudden and kind of intense anger and shouting.
"What?" I spat out impatiently, after several seconds of them just staring at me like that. They both hastily picked up different books and engaged myself in that.
The train started moving again shortly, and there was no conversation in our car for the rest of the way. I had the entire trip to ponder on why exactly I got so mad at Potter just then. It wasn't like he had wronged me in asking me the question, and I actually kind of felt bad for jumping down his throat like that. But very soon, I dismissed that thought, because surely he had wronged me enough in my lifetime to make up for my quick temper just then.
When the train finally arrived at Kings Cross Station, I pulled both of my friends into a hug, and with a whispered "Sorry," and "Write me," I grabbed all of my luggage and hurried off of the train.
I quickly passed through the barrier without saying goodbye to anybody else. I ran to my parents and flung myself into their arms and said "I hate James Potter,"
Alright, that one's over. It did look a lot longer in my notebook. :/ sorry for it being so short. I'll try to make the other ones longer! Please review. What parts do you like or not like?
