Belle Black, Lily Evans and Honey White the three sixteen year olds were best friends, and had been for many years. Before the three girls were all considered, well, school rejects. But this was the year when everything changed. They had always been pretty, but this year they were stunning. Blossoming at least in young woman, it seemed to have arrived at last for them.

Belle now reached 5"7; she had long, glossy, silver blonde hair; ice blue eyes; creamy, flawless skin; and a slim figure yet not lanky.

Honey was the shortest at 5"3; She was thin but still curvy; short, curly, coffee brown hair hung around her face; chocolate brown eyes; a very lightly tanned skin.

Lily reached 5"5; she had milky white skin; freckles gracing her shoulders, cheek, and nose; long, curly, ruby red hair; brilliant emerald eyes; and a perfect hourglass figure.

They were sitting in the end compartment of the Hogwarts express, as was tradition; Belle was lying along the seats, her head rested in Honey's lap. Honey was playing with Belle's hair. Lily was sitting on the floor, Belle playing with her ruby locks. They were immersed in a comfortable silence.

See back in fifth year when the boys and girl were starting to see each other more sexually, boys often found it difficult to approach the three girls who were constantly acting in this way, eventually this stemmed rumours that the three girls were lesbians. It wasn't true, but school bullies were school bullies. Which then led to the three girls being avoided at all times, as the older boys watched transfixed from a distance, and other girls in the school making sure they were never alone with the three girls.

"Well isn't this a sight for sore eyes," The three girls turned towards the door to see who had spoken. They groaned when they saw who it was.

"Wow Belle, you and your friends have changed," The person said. "I am so glad I ran into your little friends Belle." The person said, he wore a cocky grin as he pushed his black hair, which fell elegantly in front of his stormy grey eyes, away from his handsome face.

"Dear cousin, piss off," Belle said lazily at her cousin Sirius Black, as he was the one to speak.

"Now Belle, Auntie won't be happy to hear you speaking like that," Sirius said tutting, Belle snorted.

"Mother dearest only cares for what I do if she thinks it will affect the family name, by Merlin imagine ruining the name of the noblest pureblood family," Belle retorted, Sirius shrugged, it was true, but he didn't leave. "Sirius what are you doing here." Belle barked.

"Dunno," Sirius answered with a shrug, however, most unfortunately, as he did another boy turned up. This one had unruly black hair; hazel eyes; wire rimmed glasses; and a well toned body.

"Well look at this," The boy said licking his lips and staring down Lily's top.

"Honey, can you handle this?" Belle asked before Lily ripped James Potters head off.

Honey got up and looked Sirius in the eye, she walked towards him swaying her hips and licking her lips. She placed both hands on his solid chest then leaned forward as if she were going to kiss him but as their lips were just millimetres away she turned her head and whispered something into his ear. Sirius blushed crimson before Honey pushed him out of the compartment so that he fell atop of James.

Lily and Belle burst out laughing.

"What did you do to make Sirius Black blush?" Lily asked giggling as Honey shut the compartment door.

"I just told him that we've changed over summer," Honey said a devilish grin on her face.

"Gals I have to go for a while," Lily said twenty minutes later, her friends sent her questioning looks. "Sixth year Gryffindor Prefect." Lily said grinning at her friends' stupidity.

"Oh yeah," Honey realised, grinning sheepishly.

Lily made her way down the train towards the heads compartment. Once there she found she was the last to arrive.

"Sorry Steph, Nick, everyone," Lily apologised to the Head Girl, Head Boy and other prefects. She gave Nick a cheeky wink then sat down next to Remus Lupin, a lanky, brown haired boy with amber eyes, he was one of James Potter's best friends, but still managed to be really nice.

Sitting down Lily crossed her legs causing her already fairly short skirt to rise higher up her thigh, though she hadn't noticed. Nick openly stared.

"Evans, once you're quite finished," Hissed a black haired boy. Although he too was staring at Lily's milky, well toned, long legs.

Noticing people staring at her legs, Lily uncrossed them and pulled her skirt down, she didn't do slutty.

"Please. The meeting has started!" Stephanie called gaining everyone's attention.

"Well for today…"

Once the meeting had finished half an hour later Lily returned to her compartment only to nearly faint.

"What the hell are they doing here!" Lily shrieked pointing an accusing finger at James, Sirius and Peter Pettigrew, a short fat, blonde haired boys that hung out with the marauders as James, Sirius, Remus and Peter called themselves.

"Lily breathe," Honey said trying to calm Lily down. "There weren't any free compartments, we checked for ourselves." Honey said guiding Lily to a seat.

"Oh." Was all Lily could say.

"So, erm, how was your summer?" James asked doing his best to keep his eyes on Lily's face.

Lily however didn't answer.

"Mine was great. I dint have to spend much time with Bella or Cissa. I stayed at Lily's house, sorry Mansion," Belle chuckled. It was an on going joke that Lily's home was not a house like normal kids grow up in; her home was in fact a mansion.

James smiled, although it did not reach his eyes.

Belle nudged Lily who was dazed.

"Summer was ok," Lily murmured in a daze, but snapped back with relief when Remus appeared at the compartment door.

"Hey I was looking all over for you guys," Remus said mock annoyed.

Everyone smiled, but the tension didn't go, in fact it remained all the way through the journey.
