A/N: Here's Chapter 3!! We meet one of my favorite Original Characters in this chapter, Averi Jennings. She IS a Mary Sue, but this story isn't about her, so please withhold your flames. YES I finally have updated.

Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter, do you honestly think I'd be writing this?

Lily was reading her book intently when she heard a small voice.

"Excuse me, but is anyone sitting here?" asked a slender girl in first year, also. She was very pretty, with raven hair to her waist and icy blue eyes. She had a small mouth with rosebud lips and eyes that seemed to be glued to the floor.

"No, go ahead and sit. I was rather lonely anyway."

The girl smiled kindly, taking the seat across from Lily.

"What's that you're reading?" asked the girl conversationally.

Lily grinned sheepishly.

"Rereading some of the chapters I didn't exactly understand. I never got your name."

"Averi Jennings. Did you understand the other things? I didn't get it at all. Only, I'm from a non-magical family. We were all completely ordinary."

"Really? I am, too. I just...I don't know. I understand most of it, but, the things in later chapters... not getting it at all."

Averi nodded, grinning.

"There are so many cute boys on this train. I saw a boy here with dark hair, and, wow...I just think that-"

"Did he have hazel eyes?" asked Lily abruptly, thinking of that James Potter. Averi looked at her oddly and shook her head.

"No... he had grey eyes. Why, what did this boy look like?" asked the raven haired girl, suddenly intrigued.

Lily launched into her story of how he helped her with her things.

"Oh, Lily! That's so romantic!"

"Romantic?" asked Lily incredulously.

Averi grinned.

"Never mind. You probably wouldn't get it, but from an outsider's point of view, trust me, it's romantic."

Lily grinned.

"Okay. I'll trust you."
