Lily's POV

I had just gotten onto the Hogwarts Express after saying goodbye to mum and Dad. I was so nervous but at the same time I was excited as well about what was to come. I mean, I had only found out that I was a witch a month or two ago, and I was still in shock. I heard the door of my compartment open and I turned around to see who it was. I grinned as I saw Alice enter. She and I had met last week in Diagon Alley when I had been buying my school and had instantly clicked and become great friends.

Alice and I were discussing which house we wanted to be in when all of a sudden two black haired boys came into the compartment and dropped themselves in the two seats across from us. "Hey, who are you two?" asked the one with long, silky looking hair.

"I'm Lily Evans; this is my friend Alice Prewett. Now, who are you two?" Lily replied, using the same whiney tone that the boy had.

The other one, the one with the extremely messy short hair and glasses grinned and answered Lily. "I'm James Potter, and this is Sirius Black," said James, while Sirius smirked at us before James continued yet.

"And I'd also like to say, Miss Lily, that you are the most gorgeous female I have ever had the highest privilege to meet," he said, smiling at me with a 100 watt, heart stopping smile.

I coloured a little at his comment, but I also got seriously annoyed. I hated when guys hit on me just because I looked pretty. Humph, well, if this guy was going to do that to me, I almost felt sorry because of what I was going to do to him, but hey, he did have it coming.

"OK, first of all, I don't find you or your friend attractive, so you can stop with the totally over-rated smirks that you think look soooooo hot!" I said, looking at them both in turn.

Their reactions were instantaneous. James and Sirius both stop smirking and looked at me and Alice, who wasn't affected either, with disbelief. Alice herself was giggling madly. I continued before they could get a word in at all.

"Secondly, if you are about to ask me out, I advise you against it. I might be muggle-born, but believe it or not I have read spell books and am perfectly able and willing to hex you all into oblivion, so don't even go there. And thirdly, I am going to give you both a little advice. If you ever, ever ask me out, either of you, I am going to make sure that neither you," I said, pointing my finger in between Sirius' eyes, both flickering between my finger and my probably scary expression, and then turning and stabbing James in the chest with my small, yet powerful, finger, "that neither of you can ever reproduce. Are we clear?" I demanded, blowing a stray piece of hair out of my eyes.

Alice was guffawing loudly as both boys nodded meekly at me. "Good," I huffed, getting ready to walk out of the compartment.

Alice got up to leave with me, probably eager to talk about what I had just done, but just as we were about to walk through the door, I heard potter utter the single phrase that forever labelled him as my worst enemy and my biggest annoyance.

"So, will you go out with me Evans?" said Potter, that stupid smirk obvious in his tone.

Oh, now he had done it. Alice's gleeful expression dropped, and I swear I think that she almost felt sorry for what she knew was going to befall Potter. I whipped around, fast as lightning and struck out with my leg, catching Potter between the legs. Potter went down like a sack of potatoes. Sirius just stood there, mouth gaping open, before he bent down to help Potter up. Potter just waved him off as he rolled around a little on the floor. But I wasn't done. I whipped out my wand and sent a bat bogey Hex towards his face.

His whole face was covered in bat wings and he cried out in pain. Just then a tall blonde haired girl with a pin on her chest that said HG on it came walking in. 'What is going on here?" she demanded to know.

I looked at her innocently, making my lip quiver a little, making the story I was about to tell seem more convincing. "Well, Miss, you see, me and my friend were just sitting here, minding our own business. Then these two boys came in and started teasing us something terrible. Well, me and my friend, we tried to get away, but they tried to stop us. So I tried to push that boy," here I pointed at James, quivering a little more and letting a tear or two slip down her cheeks before she continued, "I didn't mean to hurt him, I was just so scared. I hadn't met a wizard before the train ride today, and i didn't know how."

To emphasize my innocence, I flung myself towards the girl, a surprisingly teary Alice doing the same. We sobbed a little into her, subtly winking at each other while non-verbally agreeing to talk later. The older girl placed an arm around each of us and turned to glare at Potter and Black. "You two, how dare you do such things? As soon as we get to Hogwarts I will be deducting 5 points each from your house. Which house do you two belong to?" the girl demanded, glaring at Black and at Potter, who had managed to pick himself up off the ground and stand, though still a little wobbly.

Potter was the one to answer. "Um Miss, we haven't been sorted yet. We're first years, you see?" James explained quietly.

The girl thought for a moment. "That is easily fixed," she said dismissively, "What are your names?" she asked Black and Potter.

This time is was Black that answered. "My name is Sirius Black and this is James," Black said, looking incredibly sheepish for someone who had just been smirking shamelessly.

"Well, you can bet that when you get to Hogwarts I will be watching carefully for the house you two are sorted into and I will indeed be inducting 5 points from each of you. Is that clear?" she asked, still maintaining that death glare on the boys.

They just nodded, not trusting their voices. The older girl bent down to our level.

"You two tell me if these boys bother you again, won't you?" she said.

"Oh don't worry," I said, glancing briefly at Potter before returning my gaze to the girl, "I'll be sure to tell you."

She smiled at me and Alice before leaving the compartment. As soon as she was out of ear shot, I spun round to face Potter and black, both of which seemed to have gotten those annoying smirks back.

"Didn't I tell you that you would regret it Potter. I swear to Merlin (I had recently started using that phrase and it still sounded funny) that the end result will be much, much worse."

Was it just me, or did a look of sheer terror cross potter's face. Oh well, I got back at him either way.

"Now, not that humiliating you isn't fun boys, but it is rather tiring. So, until the next time where we get to exploit your stupidity, we bid you fare well," I said, grabbing Alice's hand and dragging her out of the compartment.

We hid just out of sight, but close enough so we could still hear them. Every girl knows that guys talk about them, and I couldn't resist seeing the impression I made on them.

"Wow man, though I hate to admit it, that girl is a genius. Just think we have seven years of Hogwarts to look forward to. This is going to be awesome. Finally, someone worthy to challenge us," said the voice I can only assume belonged to Black.

But Potter's next words surprised me, if nothing else.

"I don't know mate. Maybe we should leave this one alone. Did you see her strike out with that leg? Don't know about you man, but I'd like to keep my family jewels where they belong," said Potter, without a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

I turned to face Alice and made a motion with my hands. Silently we slipped away from the compartment and went to a compartment that was empty except for a couple of older girls, who completely ignored us. I can't believe it. We haven't even reached Hogwarts yet and i already have two enemies. Unbelieveable!
