Chapter 41 The last Year

Chapter - 41 The Last Year,

The time for their last year of schooling had arrived. Lily was very excited about going to school and moving on to her choice of career. Lily met up with James to leave for Kingscross together. Lily was standing by the car with James when a voice spoke up behind her.

“Can I get a ride?”

Lily turned with a smile on her cute face, her hair bouncing out around her head.

“Sev, of course you can.” Lily gave Snape a hug while the two guys glared at each other over her shoulder.

“Are you ready for our last year?” Lily asked Snape once they released each other.

“Yeah I am, it’ll be good to get out and do other things besides school.”

“Like killing and torturing people.” James mumbled as he glared at Snape.

Lily chooses to ignore that comment. “Let’s get into the car” Boys she thought were tough on her nerves.

The three piled into the back of the car as Mr. Evans climbed into the car and started it up.

“Lily’s mom is unable to go with us this morning, but she says to have a great year.”

“Tell her thank you for me.” James piped up.

“Me too Mr. Evans, and thanks for the ride to the train station.” Snape added on.

“Yeah I really appreciate it; I was going to have to walk otherwise.” This wasn’t true but James wanted to sound more appreciated then Snape.

“Same here, it’s real hard not having parents anymore.” Snape said as he shot a dirty look at James.

 James glared right back at Snape a retort ready on his lips when Lily put her hand up.

“Enough boys, my dad; isn’t stupid you know, so stop sucking up.”

Why me? Lily thought exasperated as she sat between two angry young men.

Both boys looked shamed face and stayed quiet after that. The ride was a lot more pleasant after that neither looked at each other, they looked at Lily or out their window; they arrived in good time for the train.

Lily hugged her father good bye and walked into the barrier with James and Severus in tow.

Lily saw many friends walking around the station saying good-bye to their parents and little siblings.

“Come on let’s find a place to sit.” Lily hauled her trunk to the train along with her cat carrier.

“Hey Prongs.”

James looked around to see his best friend Sirius Black. “Hey Padfoot, come on let’s get a place set up for us.”

Sirius walked over to them as they all started up the steps into the train. They carried their things along the corridor looking for an empty car.

Snape stopped and let the other two boys go past him.

“I’m going to sit in here Li; I have no desire to sit with your friends.” Snape shot them another dirty look as they walked down the corridor.

“I’d much prefer you with my friends then your own.” Lily told him honestly looking up into his eyes sadly.

Snape looked shamed face. “I’m really sorry Li, please understand.” Severus gave her a hug and fast kisses to the cheek and her lips. “See ya at school, Li.”

Snape turned and walked up to the door where his friends were and went inside.

Lily felt a pain in her heart as he left her there. Lily sighed and walked on to the compartment keeping her eyes turned away from where Snape was sitting with his friends. Lily didn’t think she could stand to see their hated faces. Lily walked on down looking into the other compartments until she saw the one that James was sharing with his friends. Lily walked inside and sat down next to James.
