Someone
bumped into Lily. "Watch it!" They said. "No one gets
in the way of the ever so handsome, Sirius Black." a guy who
also had black hair said.
Lily gave him an 'I-don't-think-so'
look. "Sirius Black, is it? Well, Lily Evans will get in the way
of 'the ever so handsome Sirius Black' whenever she wants..."
Sirius
Black smirked. "Oh yes she can." He said smoothly.
Then,
the other black haired guy came(The one at the barrier). "Now
now Sirius. We don't want to antagonize a girl as pretty as this one,
now do we?" He said, smirking.
Lily gave both of these guys
weird looks. "Yeeeeeeeeeeeah. Who are you?" She
asked.
"Well, I'm James Potter and this is, as you know,
Sirius Black." the black haired guy at the barrier said. "And,
may I ask what your name is?" He asked, that smirk never leaving
his lips.
"Lily Evans." Lily replied. "Now, if
you'll excuse us, Alice and I have a compartment to find." She
said, trying to push past James and Sirius.
"That won't be
nesscisary." James said, blocking Lily's way. He was a bit
taller than her, and Sirius was next to him, so it was kind of hard
to get through. "You can sit with us."
Lily smiled
sweetly. "That's very nice of you, but no thanks." She said
as she kept trying to push past.
"I insist." James
said, still trying to hold Lily back.
Lily stopped trying, then
looked up at James. "Why?" She asked.
"Why what?"
"Why should we sit with you?"
"You see, Alice
is a friend of mine, right Alice?" Alice nodded. "And we
have two seats left in the compartment Sirius and I have, so why not
have you two take up those seats?"
It wasn't a bad
explaination. Lily sighed. "Where is this compartment of
your's?" She asked, not looking at James.
James's smirk
grew. "I knew you would come around." He said as he lead
Lily and Alice to a compartment with two people already in it.
One was reading a book, and the other was looking at James and Sirius
eagerly as they aproached.
Lily rolled her eyes when James said
that. James opened the compartment and walked in, pulling Lily, who
was pulling Alice. Sirius was smirking behind them.
"Evans,
I would like you to meet Remus Lupin," James pointed to the guy
who was reading the book. He looked up and smiled. "And, Peter
Pettigrew." He pointed to the eagerly waiting boy. "Everyone,
this is Lily Evans." He sat down next to Sirius, who sat at the
window seat, and pulled Lily next to him. Alice sat next to Remus and
across from Lily. Lily gave her a 'help me' look, and Alice shrugged.
For most of the train ride, Remus, Sirius, and James would all
talk to each other, Peter and Alice would listen to what they were
saying, and Lily stared at her hands which were in her lap quietly.
James noticed this and put an arm around Lily's shoulders. "You're
a quiet one, Evans." He said.
Lily looked at his arm, then
took it off her shoulder. "I'm just...tired, that's all."
She said.
"Tired? Well, we were just talking about which
house we want to be in? Which one do you want?" He
asked.
"House?" She asked.
"Yes, how they
organize the students. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and
Slytherin." James's eyes narrowed when he said Slytherin.
"Oh."
She replied blankly. "I don't know."
"You're muggle
born, aren't you?"
"Muggle born?"
"Raised
by muggles. Non magic people."
"Oh. Well, yes." She
said.
"I want to be in any house except Slytherin.
Gryffindor would be nice though."
"Why not
Slytherin?"
"Dark wizards come from there."
"Oh.
What's so nice about Gryffindor?"
"They are the bravest,
loyalest, and best group of people."
"I see." Lily
said, slowly, not really getting a word he's saying.
"So,
what house do you want to be in?"
"I guess
Gryffindor..." She said since she didn't want to be a Dark
Wizard.
"Why? Because I'm going to be in there?" James
asked smirking.
Lily looked at him disgusted. "No." She
said. "That's not why."
"You keep telling yourself
that, Evans." He said before turning back to Sirius and
Remus.
The rest of the train ride was boring. Lily kept looking at
her hands, and James would keep trying to talk to her, but would
fail. Lily never wanted to see this guy again, but little did she
know that she would be seeing loads of him from now on...
