Enjoy:)

"Rise and Shine Lily!"

Lily's eyes burst open. Her mother was pulling the curtains, revealing a stormy blue covering the sky. Mr Evans and Petunia were standing over her bed, one grinning, and the other looking like they'd been sentenced to death…you can guess who was who.
"What is this?" Lily moaned. "A bloody family meeting?"
"1st of September Lily!" Her dad beamed.
"Hogwarts!"
Lily closed her eyes and swore under her breath.
This was it; the day she'd been dreading. Today she would have to face the dreadful consequences of the happenings over the summer. The girls still weren't talking to her and she hadn't received any letters from the marauders. She'd not even seen Severus since the night he had taken her home.

In fact, her only confident at the moment was Amos Diggory…her boyfriend. Lily shivered slightly despite the warmth of her bedroom.
"Everything alright?" Lily's mum asked, placing a hand on her forehead. "Not feeling sick, are you?"
Lily shook her head. "No, I'm fine. I'll get ready now."
Mr and Mrs Evans nodded, Petunia glared.
Lily raised her hands. "Get out?"
"Oh, of course honey," Lily's mother gushed. "We'll be downstairs, breakfast is ready!"

Her family departed from her room, leaving Lily with her thoughts. What the bloody hell was she going to do?

Lily got dressed quickly but took her time doing her hair and applying more make up than usual. What with the lack of contact during the summer, she'd taken to walking every morning with her mother, and Lily supposed the softness on her stomach and thighs had disappeared. She'd let her hair grow longer than it had ever been. It now reached just to her hips.
"Come on Lily, you'll be late!"
Her father's voice sounded from downstairs and she looked at her watch; it was later than she had thought. Only half an hour to get to the train!
Lily closed up her trunk and scooted across to the door. She looked around her room quickly before heading downstairs.

"This is it, my dear friends." Sirius shouted gleefully, his arms slung around Peter and James's shoulders. They were stood just beyond the barrier that marked Platform 9 and ¾, feeling the familiar tingle of excitement at returning to school. "Hogwarts here we come!"
James rolled his eyes. "Padfoot you idiot."
Her grinned though, and Sirius laughed.
Their feud had burned itself out after the night of the full moon; they'd never been able to stay angry at each other for very long.

Remus was across the room, checking on his trunk yet again. He was doing this on purpose, James knew.
When he had arrived in his friend's bedroom on crutches the morning after the full moon, Remus had been distraught, frantic about the state of James's health.
Although they'd reassured him, Remus was acting differently.
He was distant, trying his best to exclude himself from all activities. James felt horrible about it too, he hated not being able to comfortably speak to the boy and there was an awkward sort of tension about the whole situation.

"Let us venture aboard the mighty Hogwarts Express!" Sirius bounded forward, knocking into more than a few students and parents. Peter hurried along behind, and James was about to follow when a bit of hair flew up at him and caught itself in his glasses. James turned around, looking at the strand. His eyes led him up to the owner and…
"Oh my merlin…" Said James, he was staring open mouthed into the eyes of Lily Evans.
Lily Evans, who was no longer ridiculously shorter than him, not even reaching the middle of his shoulder, but a good difference of height; she now reached his chin.
Lily, whose red hair was shining and flowing around her face, all except for the part caught in the leg of his glasses.
"Sorry James." Lily said, frantically untwisting her hair but finding it challenging due to her shaking hands. He reached up to help her and his fingers touched hers. A jolt of electricity ran through him and Lily looked up, startled.
"Electric shock, my hair's rather static I suppose."
James raised an eyebrow as she continued to untangle her hair. He watched her bite her lip in frustration. "Bloody hair," She muttered, freeing herself. "Knew I should of cut it."
"No!" James said, far too loudly. She stepped back a couple of steps, startled.
James pushed a hand through his hair. "I, uh…your hair is nice."
Lily looked confused. "Thanks?"

James was about to reply when an arm slid around Lily's waist. Amos Diggory.
"Lily why are you talking to Potter?" He looked down at her. "We talked about this." He said and James noticed his grip on Lily tightening. She winced ever so slightly.
"Let go of her!" James said abruptly. Amos looked up and laughed. "Really Potter? I can't touch my own girlfriend?"
Lily visibly stiffened, and James clenched his jaw. "Girlfriend?" His voice was steady.
Amos nodded. "Isn't that right, dear?"
Lily looked up at James with wide eyes. "Yes."

James stepped back, his hands on his trunk. "Okay." He stared at Amos, before walking right up to his ear. "Hurt her," He whispered sharply. "And I will kill you."
Amos smiled. "Thanks for the blessing."
The couple walked to the doors at the end of the train and boarded, and James noted how Amos refused to let go of Lily the entire time. He sighed, walking to the closest entrance, which was beginning to close.
Something was not right and he was going to find out what as soon as possible.

Lily settled herself into the compartment with Amos. She had wanted to sit alone and read for the journey, but that wasn't going to happen. The incident with James had been horrible, but at least he seemed to have gotten over what had happened at the party. Lily took a bobble off her wrist and tied her hair up into a plait, she was definitely going to cut it when she arrived at Hogwarts.
"I told you Lily." Amos said. "Don't talk to the marauders. If I see you talking to them again…" He trailed off, perhaps not able to think of a suitable threat.
Lily nodded.
"What?" Amos said, smirking.
"Yes." Lily said though gritted teeth.
"You're rubbish at acting," He continued. "Better improve if you want the werewolf to continue his life."
She turned away from him and looked out of the window. They were already out of the city and she was surrounded by a blur of green and grey.

"What an arsehole!" James ranted to his friends. He'd told them the whole story and they were just as furious. "Oh you should have seen him, Padfoot."
"I would have punched him so hard his head would fall off!"
"I should have!" Said James. Although Sirius had never been Lily's biggest fan, he agreed that it sounded like something worrying was up.
Peter was sat forward, taking in all of the information. Remus was absent. He'd left as soon as they'd sat down.
"Once we get to Hogwarts we need to watch him…see if anything happens with Lily." Said James, pushing his glasses up. Sirius and Peter nodded.
"I'm worried about her." James continued.
"Marlene and the girls aren't talking to her." Sirius said.
"Why?"
"Amos."
James frowned. "This really isn't good, guys."
