Chapter 1
Twooooot-twooooot. The sound of the whistle was keeping me up. I had slept barely two hours but was as wide awake as possible! Today was September 1st! Today was the day where I would take my ticket and ride the Hogwarts Express all the way to Hogwarts, these were my thoughts as I walked through King's Cross Station. Station 9 and station 10. But where did the Professor say the platform was, somewhere inbetween. "LILY!", Sev's scream broke my thoughts. "Here we are", he says," Platform 9 3/4." "Um, where is it?" "See the sector in between 9 and 10 Lils? That's it right there. Count of three just like we practiced all right? Run straight through, 1...2...3!" We both started to jog and then we looked like we were going to crash but I kept going and soon enough I was enveloped in steam from the gorgeous steam station engine in front of me. I was in awe, I wanted to stop and take it all in but Sev was tugging on my arm and pulling me toward the train. We took our trunks onto the train and started to look for an empty compartment. Once we found one we put our stuff in it and got off the train to say good-bye to our families, only Sev's mom came his dad was in a bad mood again. I walked to my family and hugged my mom and dad and told them both that I loved them, I turned to my sister, Petunia, she turned her nose up at me, like I was a foul smell, she was still mad at me for looking at the letter. She hadn't talked to me in a week. I started to tear up," Bye Tuney. I love you, I'll miss you." I walked away with a tear streaming down my face and got onto the train. I found my compartment and sat down in the corner waiting for Severus to reenter. I heard the door open and looked up expecting to see Severus but instead finding a somewhat tall, skinny, boy around my age. He had untameable brown hair that stood in all directions, he also had square-rimmed glasses that framed his hazel brown eyes. He also had this smirk that made you think he knew someting you didn't, he was quite attractive I had to say. "Sorry, but may I sit here?", I shrugged and he came and sat down in front of me, "James Potter, and you?", "Lily Evans", he shook my hand and smirked at me. We didn't talk, I was waiting for Severus to arrive but once agin the compartment door opened and once again it did not reveal Sev, but yet again another young boy with almost the exact same features as James but with more curly, tame, dark hair. He was also slightly taller. "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt", the boy started to walk out but James stopped him, "No you didn't interrupt anything. Please sit, I'm James by the way", the boy smiled at James and said," Sirius Black." He looked at me and asked my name, I told him it was Lily. James and Sirius settled into a comfortable conversation and I brought out a book,"Lily!" I hear. Finally, I thought, Sev was here; I looked up at him and he saw the sadness in my eyes, he sat sown beside me,"What's wrong Lily?", "What's wrong! My sister hates me because we read that letter!" I started to get tears in my eyes, "But Lily, we're going! To Hogwarts! What we've been waiting for! You can't be sad!" I cheered up a bit at the talk of Hogwarts, then James started talking,"So what house do you want if youve got the choice?", "My whole family has been in Slytherin", mumbled Sirius. "AWW and I thought you were alright!", "Well where do you want to go?", "Gryfinndor! Where dwell the brave at heart! Like my dad." A scoff came from Sev,"Of course","And what's wrong with that?", "Well if you'd rather be brawny than brainy?", "Then where are you going?", "Slytherin of course", Sev drawled. The boys went back and forth for a little longer. Finally I had the last of it,"Let's go Sev, we'll get our own compartment","Oooooooooh!", exclaimed James and Sirius. "See you Snivellous!", screamed James.
