-The Marauder in Me-

I smiled as I snuck on the train. And they said I wasn't going to Hogwarts this year. Grandma was going to be tutoring me. That was not going to work. The train started to roll. It would probably be five minutes before I got the howler. I went into a compartment. Finally, alone. I pulled out my spell books.

"There has to be a spell in here...." I mumbled, flipping the well worn pages.

Finally, I found the spell, and was able to duplicate my school robes. Well, the top half anyways. Now I needed to go return them-

"Hi. Do you mind if I sit here?"

"Um... Yes."

"Please?" She said, giving me a puppy dog look.

"Fine. Sit."

"Thank yo-"

"You wouldn't happen to have a Hogwarts skirt on you..."

"Yeah. Here." She said, handing me here skirt. I did the spell.

"Thanks." I muttered, tossing the original back.

"Don't you have your own?"

"Nope."

"Why not?"

"Because."

"I get it. Your one of those people."

"What people?"

"The people that are secretive and don't trust others."

"Look. It's nothing personal. My mom just died."

"Oh... I'm sorry."

"Don't be." My owl dropped a letter in my lap.

"My howler is here."

"You got a howler? What for?"

"Stop asking questions!" I said, as I opened it.

"MARY-JANE!!!HOW DARE YOU RUN AWAY LIKE THAT! YOU ARE COMING STRAIGHT HOME!!!! AND DON'T GET ANY IDEAS!!! YOU ARE NOT BEING SORTED, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SCHOOL AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET OFF THE TRAIN!!!!" I ripped up the letter before it could finish.

"You have a pretty name."

"I hate it. Never call me it. Ever."

"Then what do-"

"Call me Jane. Most people don't even know my full name anyways."

"I'm Lily. Lily Evens."

"Cool."

"So what house are you in?"

"I don't know."

"How do you not know?"

"I'm new. My mom use to home school me. What house are you in?"

"Gryffindor."

"Ahh.... But you seemed so nice." I joked, but when I saw the shocked look on her face, I quickly laughed.

"I'm joking Lily. Lighten up."

"Oh. Good. So, which house do you think you'll be in?"

"My family thinks that its a four way split. It could be any house."

"You mean you could be in Slytherin?"

"Pureblooded girl, cunningness, semi-evil. Yep."

"So your obsessed with purebloods?"

"NOOO!!! My family may be full of purebloods, but I'm a good person. Honestly."

"Good."

"Good."

Silence. I pulled out my book. I was actually a very studious person. The train ride went by in a breeze, making small talk with Lily, and changing into my robes.

"Your not going to go through with it. Did you not hear the howler?"

"I did. And it's not going to stop me. I have rights."

"Your crazy."

"You don't say."

"Don't do it Jane."

"That's going to happen. Look, I just want to be sorted."

"Don't."

"We are now playing the opposite game where you say the opposite of what you mean." I said, as I left the compartment.

"JANE! GET SORTED RIGHT NOW!"

"Okay Lily. Just stop pressuring me things I don't want to do." I said, laughing.
