jily: more than friends

Lily

Ahh, finally back at Platform 9 3/4. I hug Mum and Dad goodbye, Petunia didn't bother coming, it upsets me that my own sister thinks I am a freak.  I tried to persuade Dumbledore into letting her come to Hogwarts in my first year but she never had magic, ever.

I see my best friend, Severus, I wave to him, he sees me but ignores it and goes to see his mean Slytherin friends. I see my other best friends, Marlene and Alice. I jog over to them and we talk about our summer break. Soon we must board the Hogwarts Express. We are looking for an empty compartment.

Full.

Full.

Full.

Full.

They are all full! We spot a last compartment at the end of the train. There are people in it but there are still empty spots, who's the worst who could be in there?

"Here let's go in here!" Marlene says. 

"Hello ladies, come to sit with us I suppose?" A voice says. Sirius Black. Ugh, this just means one thing.

"Take a seat, take a seat," James says. Oh, great James bloody Potter. The last person I would want to see. 

Marlene sits across from Black, Alice sits across from Remus, the only Marauder I actually somewhat like. And that leaves the last spot, across from Potter. Only two hours, you can do this Lily  I repeat to myself. 

Alice asks "where is that other friend of yours? The short one?" "I think you mean Peter" Remus replies, "he is out to get some snacks."  I scoff, of course, he is. 

Soon enough Pettigrew is back the pockets full of sweets. I'm starting to wonder is Potter is okay, as he has not ONCE tried to hit on m- speak of the devil... "Hey, Lily-flower I hea-" I cut I'm off, "shut it, Potter." This will be one long ride.
