Chapter 3. On the way.

  Lily handed over her large trunk to a conductor who lifted it up as she climbed onto the Hogwarts train. “Thanks.” Lily took her trunk back and quickly made her way to an empty compartment. Lily set her cat carrier down on the empty seat then lifted her trunk up to store above her head. While Lily struggled to push it up a hand reached up and started to push it farther up and in.

“Hey thanks…. James.” Lily wasn’t sure how to deal with James he always seemed to make her feel like a can full of worms were let loose in her stomach. This time was no exception.

“No problem, shall we share this one?” James started to put his own trunk up while Lily started to talk.

“Fine but you better not bother Sev; he’s sharing this compartment with me.” Lily gave him a look as though daring him to argue with her. She knew he wouldn’t dare, he always acted sappy around her.

“Fine if that’s what you want we won’t bother Snively until we get there at least.” James chuckled at his own wit.

Lily smacked his chest lightly, trying to sound angry.

“I mean now and when we get there, just grow up already!” Lily growled as she stormed out

James looked after her, his mouth dropped open as he tried to fathom girls.

“Barking mad, that’s what she is barking mad!” James sat down on a seat making sure to leave room for Lily to sit by him.

James watched the many students walked by the compartment he occupied. A few girls were throwing out kisses and waves to him. James smiled politely back loving the attention but waiting to see Lily’s face at the glass door and not with Snape.

After several more minutes Lily appeared followed by Snape who walked in giving James a dirty look.

“Potter,” Snape said as though it was foul in his mouth and was going to make him sick.

“Snape,” James gave it right back preferring to not keep this filth Snape was trying to give to him.

“Just stop it boys.” Lily said with exasperation she sat down on the empty seat by the window. Snape sat down next to her so their legs were touching, giving a small smirk to James who glared back.

The door slid open to allow Lupin and Sirius into the compartment.

“Ah look we have entertainment on the way to school.” Sirius barked out a laughed. He stored his own trunk and sat down with a flip of his hair. Lupin sat down after storing his trunk above and gave a warm smile to the other two.

“Hey Lily, ready for school,” Lupin asked gently.

“I sure am; I love learning all this magic and everything I can’t wait to try out new classes. What are you looking forward too?” Lily asked eagerly. She knew Remus would be more civil then the other two.

“I don’t know, maybe Care of Magical Creatures I hear that should be a good class, umm what’s that teachers name again?” Lupin looked to the other two who shrugged their shoulders as though talking about teachers was as thrilling as cursing themselves.

“I think it was Kettleburn or something like that.” Lily spoke softly as a force silence built in the small compartment.

    After several tense minutes of no one talking, but several looks of distrust and disliking the door finally slid open again to allow Peter Pettigrew inside which much to Lily’s pleasure seem to stop the guys from looking as though a duel was a good idea.

“Hey guys, sorry so late, my mom was fussing over everything and we almost didn’t make it here.” Peter struggled to put his trunk above, still oblivious to Snape and Lily in the seat opposite of James, Sirius and Lupin.
