(Bring It All Back by S Club 7)

My Life is wicked! My family couldn't be any better, well maybe except for Petunia. My mum Ana and my dad Paul are the best parents ever. My mum is a nurse at a nearby hospital, and she works in the labor ward. My dad is a lawyer and a highly respected one too. Many people call on my dad when they need a lawyer. Then there is Petunia, and she is three years older than I. We used to be the best of sisters, until I got my Hogwarts letter seven years ago. She wants nothing to do with me now. But then there is my baby sister Clover who started at Hogwarts this year. There is a 6-year difference between us. Lo and I connected when we were younger. Petunia was very angry that mum had another baby and didn't want anything to do with Lo. She especially doesn't want to even live in the same house now that Lo got her Hogwarts letter. I took Lo into my care since my parents were gone a lot. I taught Clover everything I know. I taught her how to play softball, I taught her spells at age five, and I taught her how to ignore Petunia's constant whisperings of 'freak'. That's my family for you.

My friends also make my life worthwhile. I have five incredible best friends. I like each of them for their own style. Tay is quiet, Sam is athletic, Em is perky, Mac is funny, and Ala is stylin'. I'm just your average 17-year-old girl. Well at Hogwarts people like to believe my group is Hogwarts "most wanted females", which we don't really care about. Ala only really cares about looks and fashion sense. Here is further information about my fabulous five friends.

Samantha Lee Bogolyn is 5'7" and has back length dirty blonde hair. Her baby blue eyes accent her Mexican and German culture. She has very tan skin, and we mostly call her Sam, Sami, or Samlee, but mostly Sam. Sam is outgoing, witty, and very athletic. She plays seeker on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Sam is half and half. Her father is a wizard and her mother is a muggle. She is also in Gryffindor. And which leads me too . . .

Taylor Lyn Bogolyn, Sam's twin. Although Tay is 5'7" and has long dirty blond hair, they act nothing alike. Tay has hazel eyes and tan skin. She is quiet and mellow and is one of the biggest book worms you would ever meet. She is always carrying a book around. But I would have to say that Taylor is probably the prettiest out of the Metals. Tay is very different from all her other friends since she doesn't like to get out much. Tay is also a Gryffindor.

Emily Nova Richard is the smallest one standing at 5'4". Her chocolate brown eyes and back length dark, chestnut hair that accents her pale skin very well. Emily is formally known as Em, Emma, Emmiez, Emerz, Emmy, and Emilie. Em comes from a pureblood family that roots are from Switzerland. She is very tough; you might not think that if you judge her by her looks. Emmy plays a chaser on the Quidditch team for Gryffindor. And she works long and hard on conditioning so she can probably beat any guy at running, lifting, etc.

Makala Raquel Smerian is originally from Hawaii. Her parents moved to London when she was very young, not yet one year old. Makala a.k.a. Kay, Lala, or Mac is extremely funny and catty. She has shiny black hair and big black eyes, and is also 5'6". Mac is a mix of all my friends. She is in Gryffindor, but has a boyfriend, Austin Goldenburg, in Ravenclaw. We think that they are the cutest couple. Mac is also a muggleborn.

Last but not least is Alana Michelle Cruz. Ali, Ala, Lana, or Cruz is 5'7" and has long beach blonde hair with pale green eyes. She has a Mexican accent since she is from Mexico. Lana was actually born in Mexico and lived there till she was about five then moved because her father wanted to live in the wizarding community. She is a pureblood and is the girly girl of our group. Lana is also rather quiet, and has a boyfriend Ryan Matel. Who we think is not worth her while. Ala is in Gryffindor too.

Then there is me, Lily Jordan Evans. I am 5'7" and have emerald green eyes and vibrant auburn hair that cascades down my shoulders. My friends call me Lily, Lil, Lils, and L.J. My group claims that I am the smartest one and the prettiest one out of them all. I disagree with both. I think Tay is the prettiest and Em is the smartest. You mostly know about my family already and that I am a muggleborn.

We also have a really big secret that no one knows about! We all have our own nicknames too. Mac's is Wings, Em's is B.B., Tay's is Patches, Ala's is Sneaky, Sam's is Snowy, and I am Glow. Maybe you can figure it out?!

Those are my fabulous 5 best friends! They make life exciting and very surprising. We'll see what is in store for us in our 7th year!!

Onto Hogwarts...

"Lily? L.J.!" yelled Sam waving her hand in front of my face.

"Sorry, what did you say?" I asked changing my gaze from the countryside.

"As I was saying," continued Sam, dirty blonde hair blowing in the breeze from the open train window. Sam's sparkling blue eyes were catching the shining sun from outside. "How was your summer?"

"I've only told you twenty times Sam!" I exclaimed, brushing a piece of my hair out of my eyes.

"It's so interesting though," droned Emily. Emma's dark, brown hair shone brightly in the sun from the clear glass.

"Yeah, America sounds bloody wicked," said Tay looking up from her book.

Makala laughed, "You guys are funny! Give poor L.J. a break, she needs to breath."

"Thanks Mac," I said happily.

"Plus she needs time to think about James," cooed Mac.

"Oh yeah I really need to spend my time thinking about Potter," I said sarcastically.

"Then tell us more about America," demanded Alana.

"What about America?" came a deep male voice from the compartment door.

We all turned our heads to let our gazes fall upon the Marauders.

"No one invited you Black," said Sam playfully.

"Did someone go to America?" asked Sirius.

"Lily did," stated Emmy.

"Ah, the wonderful country," said Sirius letting himself into our compartment and sitting down next to Sam, ignoring her protests.

Sam was probably the only one who hadn't fallen for the "Black Charm or Potter Charm". As along with Em, Tay, Mac, and I. Lala fell for it in 3rd year. Sirius Black, where to start? He is one of James Potter's best friends and is no doubt very handsome. His jet, black hair which is always falling into his almond colored eyes. Sirius is a complete charmer and almost every girl can fall for his charmer act. Although Sirius flirts a lot, I don't think he has ever had a long term relationship. His longest one has probably been 2 or 3 weeks.

James Potter walked into the compartment behind Sirius. James was also a very good-looking man with his bright hazel eyes behind his wire trimmed glasses. Then there was his untidy black mop he called hair. James is the captain of the Quidditch team, and has been since 5th year. James plays chaser along with Em.

Third to follow into the now compact compartment is Remus Lupin. A quiet guy that didn't take his looks for granted. He was into his studies as Tay was. Remus has light brown hair pulled back in a low ponytail and brown eyes that are filled with wisdom and knowledge. Remus and James were always competing for the top scores in every class. James was always amazingly ahead of him. Sirius was right behind them too.

Peter Pettigrew (should Die!) entered the little room. Peter was a small plump boy that really never did fit in with the other three. But yet he still hangs around with them.

"So tell us about America L.J.," said James.

All the Marauders call me by my nickname L.J. now instead of Evans, which I am very thankful for.

"Again! I might as well write a book about my trip," I said exasperated.

Everyone laughed then went into their own conversations with the people they were sitting next to. Remus was eyeing up Em while she gabbed about a good book she had just read, with Tay popping into the conversation every once in awhile. Sam, Sirius, and Mac were talking about Quidditch while Ala read a magazine. Peter was sitting quietly, looking out the window at the passing landscape

"Guys I am going to go find Mary," Peter resided and slipped silently out the compartment door.

"Aw, Wormtail's found himself a girlfriend," teased James.

"Shut up! I think its sweet," stated Tay.

"Uh-huh. Whatever you say," replied James.

"Oh shut it!" I said swatting his arm.

A little while later James said, "Sorry my fellow friends but I need to go. Duties call."

He exited the door and I quickly followed him. "Duties?" I asked.

"Yes," said James in an airy way, "if you haven't noticed I'm Head Boy."

"Are you serious?" I asked stunned.

"No, he's Sirius," said James pointing to the compartment which we had just left.

"Ha, ha. That is so old its not ever funny," I said sarcastically, "but you? Head Boy? What about Remus?"

"That's what I thought," he replied with a grin. "He's to googly eyed over Emily to even care about the position."

I laughed, "Well let's get a move on. We can't be late for our first meeting. Plus we have to make a plan to get Em and Remus together.

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Heads Compartment

"Nice of you two to finally join me," Professor McGonagall said with a hint of anger in her voice.

"Sorry lost track of time," replied James smartly.

"Of course," McGonagall sighed. "Anyway here is the list of prefects. Two prefects from each house; 5th thru 7th year. I read the list first.

After I read the parchment I passed it over to James so he could read it.

"Do you think Sam and Sirius know?" asked James, as we were leaving the nice compartment after we finished talking with McGonagall.

"No," I said, "don't you remember? The prefects don't know they are prefects until shortly before the Sorting Ceremony."

"Never noticed," James said blankly. I rolled my eyes. He could be such a git sometimes.

"I should go check and make sure my sis okay," I said to James as we patrolled the corridors of the train.

"Okay, what does she look like so I can point her out," asked James.

"Like a miniature me," I replied.

"And her name is Clover, right?" he asked.

"Yes," I said bewildered, "how did you know that?"

"I am not sure," James answered looking up to the ceiling.

We walked for a short while longer until I spotted my sister sitting with two other girls and three boys. One girl had bright blonde curls and pale green eyes and the other girl had smooth black hair and had small black glasses surrounding her brown eyes. The boy sitting across from Lo had messy black hair and hazy blue eyes. The one sitting next to him had brown hair and brown eyes, and the last one had pale brown hair and black eyes.

I knocked on the door and Lo recognized me instantly and jumped out of her seat to get to the door.

"Hey L.J.," said Lo happily. "These are my friends Blair Rose Antony," the girl with the curls said a small high. "And Naomi May Lewis." This had to be the other girl. "And this is Jason Potter, Mikey Boarman, and Tyler Fisher."

'Potter!' I thought to myself. He defiantly looked like a Potter with the messy black hair. But why did my sister have to be friends with one!

"Hey Jason, I didn't see you there," said James giving his brother a high five.

"Hey bro," said Jason smiling.

"We just came to check in on you," I said, "let's get going Prongs."

James was gazing at my sister but snapped out of his trance after I called him that.

We walked a little further down the corridor until he said something.

"Why did you say that in front of them?" he asked.

"You were gazing at my sister and it was kind of scaring me," I stated.

"Your sister is really beautiful."

'Great he is hitting on my sister.'

"You two look exactly alike," said James.

'Did he just give me a compliment? No he couldn't have. Wait! He just called me beautiful.'

"Thanks," I muttered as we continued down the corridor.

After awhile I said, "So what are we going to do about Em and Remus?"

"Well I am not sure yet," said James, "but I don't think I am going to be able to stand them apart any longer. Whenever Em's over my house all she talks about is Remus. It gets quite annoying after awhile."

"How much is Em over there," I laughed.

"A lot, since we are cousins. Which sometimes sucks," said James.

"So it's your dad and her mom that are sibling?" I asked curiously.

"Yeah, why?" answered James.

"Just wondering," I smiled. "Does Emma's mom have the same messy hair as you?"

"Ha, ha," he said sarcastically.

We walked in silence for a while. Then we noticed bright flashes of light coming from underneath the next door. James ran ahead of me and I followed closely behind him.

James threw open the compartment door and we stared at the scene before us. Two 3rd year boys, one Gryffindor and one Slytherin, were on top of one another. James had to pry them both off of each other.

"What is the meaning of this?" yelled James calmly.

"He was calling Candice a... a... a...," stuttered the Gryffindor boy. James recognized him, he was Kenny Highpost.

"What was he calling you?" James asked sweetly, kneeling down next to the curly haired girl. James flashed his famous smile that could make any girl at Hogwarts melt.

"He, he was calling me a mud... mudblood," squeaked Candice. James looked over at me thinking the same thing I was thinking.

"What's your name boy?" asked James, directing the Slytherin.

"I don't need to tell you," spat the Slytherin.

"I beg to differ," James stated. I stifled a laugh.

"Why should I care?" said the Slytherin disgustedly.

"Because, you are talking to the Head Boy and Girl," he acknowledged pointing over to me.

"His name is Pip Walker," piped Candice.

"Thank you Candice," James said giving her a sweet smile. "Ten points from Slytherin, for inappropriate name calling and for dueling. Five points from Gryffindor for fighting back as well.

"You can't do that!" cried Pip.

"As a matter of fact I can. Do you want me to make it twenty?" said James dangerously. Pip shook his head then bounded down the rest of the train.

"You two can get back to your compartment now," James said turning to the two Gryffindor's.

Candice whispered, "Thank you," before fleeing down the corridor to see her friends.

"Well, Potter, you handled that pretty well," I said, still in shock of the matter.

"Thank you dear L.J. I am not as cold hearted as you think," he replied with a cheeky smile. He continued down the corridor, patrolling. He left me standing there staring at his back, wondering what the hell he was talking about.

After a good half an hour I went to get changed into my school robes. I had just left one corridor when I heard someone calling my name. I spun around to see Gilderoy Lockhart skipping gaily towards me. Someone grabbed my arm and pulled me into a dark loo.

Come and give Gilderoy a good kiss," he called.

"Ugh!" I muttered. The person in front of me sniggered.

"Ah James! What the heck are you doing in here?" I yelped trying to break free from his grip.

"Hiding," he replied simply.

"From Amber, who else!" cried James. "I tell her no and I mean it, but she doesn't get it. a/n sound familiar? And you?"

"Who do you think?" I asked impatiently. "Gilderoy Lockhart is the most conceited person ever."

"Even worst than me," mumbled James.

"Sorry didn't catch that," I said.

"Nothing."

"Anyways, I don't know what people see in him. He is very annoying and won't give the heck up on me," I said exasperated.

I shifted under James arms, which were in a very awkward position. I was backed up against the wall, and James had his hands on my shoulders. His arms surrounded my body and had a very firm grip on me. James' face was lingering quite close to mine so that I could feel his warm breath tickling my face. My spine was tingling, and a blush crept onto my face.

"Can you hear anything," I whispered.

"Nope, coast is clear," said James, then he realized the position we were in. "Oh sorry."

"It's okay, let's just go," I said reaching for the door.

"You go, I have to finish getting my robes on," he added and closed the door from behind me.

I walked back to the compartment with my robes now on. I opened the door to see Tay curled up reading one of her many books. Emmy's head was resting in Remus' lap. Sam was leaning against a sleeping Sirius.

I thought to myself, 'It must be tired riding a train.' I giggled as I looked over to Ala and Mac who were finishing up some undone homework.

James walked up from behind me and poked my sides. I screamed but he covered my mouth with his hand. He surveyed the scene before and laughed, which resulted in me having to cover his mouth with my hand.

"Should we wake them up?" asked James quietly.

"Yes, we are almost to Hogwarts. You do the honors," I replied.

He smiled and nodded his head. He cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled, "Fire!"

Everyone suddenly sat up. Ala, Mac, Tay, James, and I were clutching our sides from laughing so hard.

"Why are you five laughing if there is a fire?" asked Emmy looking wildly at us.

"There is no fire!" cried Mac through fits of laughter.

"Then why did you do that mate?" asked Sirius.

"We're almost there," stated James. He didn't have to say where because we all knew it was Hogwarts.

"How much longer?" asked Tay.

"Half an hour," replied Lana.

"Okay, how bout we play a game?" I suggested.

"Like what?" said Remus.

"Truth or Dare?" said Sam.

"Otay, Metal style?" asked Emmy.

"Of course," replied Mac.

"If you fail to complete a truth or dare you must do whatever the evil twins want you to do," smiled Emily dangerously.

"Yeah!" shouted Tay giving Sam a high five.

"Great," groaned Sirius.

"Oh suck it up," said Sam.

"Well does everyone understand?" I asked.

"Yes," everyone replied.

"I'll go first," Lana suggested. "Tay, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you too... reveal your deepest, darkest secret," said Ali.

"Okay, um, I have never kissed a guy," revealed Tay truthfully.

Everyone gasped.

"Okay Sirius, truth or dare?"

"Dare of course," boasted Sirius.

"Alright, I dare you to snog a girl in here for 5 whole minutes," said Tay.

"Man!" said Sirius, and he had a tough time deciding. Emily, no Remus would kill him. Taylor, I don't want to spoil her first kiss. Lily, no James would kill him. Makala, boyfriend. Alana, boyfriend. That leaves, ugh, Sam.

"Take whomever you pick to the back of the train and we will send for you in 5 minutes," I said.

"Or maybe a little more," muttered James.

"We will be able to tell if you did it or not by how you act," said Remus as an after thought.

Sirius stood up and grabbed Sam by her and strode out of the compartment.

"Ha I knew it!" exclaimed James.

"Alright how about I go while we wait," said Mac. "Lily, truth or dare?"

I thought for a moment, knowing Mac she would either; (a) dare me to kiss James or (b) ask me something about James.

"Truth."

"Bugger," sighed Mac, "well, what is your most favorite thing to do in the whole world? Something, if you could, do for the rest of your life?"

"That's easy," I said. "My favorite thing to do is play softball on my traveling team."

"What's softball?" asked Remus.

"Muggle sport," I answered.

"Do you think its time to go rescue Sam?" asked Ali.

"A couple more minutes," said James.

"I am going to go get them. But I will take my time," I said.

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Sirius and Sam

"Okay you can stop dragging me now," complained Sam as they entered the room.

"Sorry," mumbled Sirius.

"Why the hell did you pick me?" asked Sam outraged.

"Because you were the only one that I wouldn't get killed if I snogged you," stated Sirius.

"Why?" asked Sam.

"I didn't want to spoil your sister's first kiss, and Ala and Mac are already going out with people. James and Remus would kill me if I snogged Lily or Emily," explained Sirius.

"You've good morals Sirius. Although you act stupid you have a heart," stated Sam.

"Well thanks," muttered Sirius. "I know you don't want to do this, so if you don't like it just tell me and we can put a spell on to look like we did it."

"Alright, whatever is best," said Sam.

"How do you want to do this?" asked Sirius.

"God Sirius! You ask too many questions," complained Sam. "Just shut up and kiss me!"

Sirius was so taken aback he didn't move right away. Sam walked up to him and closed the distance quickly. She slid her hand behind his neck and lifted her lips to his. Sirius didn't react at first, but after tasting Sam for the first time ever he wanted more. He cupped his hands around her rosy cheeks and kissed back with so much passion he didn't know where it was coming from. Sam was on a whirlwind of emotions. She usually hated Sirius and now here she was snogging him like there was no tomorrow. One thing that she didn't get was that she actually liked this. Sirius was also. Sirius slid his tongue on the bottom of Sam's lip and she opened it up, letting Sirius' tongue slide and massage against hers. Their tongues were in a constant battle. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. They broke apart as fast as lighting. Sam wiped her lips with the back of her hand and opened the door.

Sam saw me standing at the door. She looked somewhat disheveled and had a smile creeping up on her lips. I smiled at her and was also in shock, she hadn't killed Sirius. Since I saw him come out of the doorway after her having a big smile plastered to his face. We made our way back to our compartment where everyone was waiting anxiously for the answers of Sam and Sirius. They wouldn't give any details besides that they did snogged. Only too soon we were at Hogwarts; the lovely castle loomed in the distance. The lights in the castle sparkled like stars in the night.

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Hogwarts

"Hurry, we want to actually get a carriage this year!" cried Lana, referring to last year when we missed all the carriages and had to walk to the castle.

"Chill Ali, we have a carriage right here," stated Sirius gesturing to the carriage next to him. All my friends were sitting on one side when I climbed into the carriage last. I unluckily got myself placed between James and Remus.

There was little conversation on the up to the castle. We were all really tired and excited to be coming back.

As we saw the castle rapidly approaching, Sirius shouted, "Welcome home, my fair lads and ladies!" I smiled goofily, happy to be back at Hogwarts for another whole year, but yet said because it was the last one.

The carriages came to a halt in front of the steps that led up to the great and sparkling castle, Hogwarts.

"Oh yeah, L.J. Dumbledore needs to see us before the sorting ceremony," said James. "Hurry let's go!"

"Okay. Bye guys, save us a seat!" I called to my friends.

James took hold of my wrist and dragged me through hoards of black robes milling their way to the great oak doors that lead into the entry hall of Hogwarts.

"James slow down. You're hurting my wrist!" I cried.

"Sorry, we're here anyways." Light illuminated James' face as he entered the Great Hall. "Welcome back," he whispered to my ear.

I gawked at the hall, still amazed by how this could actually be here. I was so happy to be back words couldn't describe it.

"It's great to be back," I sighed as we made our way to the Head Table where Dumbledore was already seated.

"Ah, welcome Ms. Evans and Mr. Potter," said Dumbledore with the usual twinkle in his eyes. "I first off want to congratulate you both on becoming the new Head Boy and Girl. Second, I would like to inform you of your new sleeping quarters. You are required to sleep in your Head Dormitories during the week, but on the weekend you may stay in either your old Tower or the Head's room. The Dormitory is concealed by an old looking photograph of Godric Gryffindor. The password is 'Patronus'. Also you two will be in charge of organizing prefect meetings. There shall be one in need soon for are Ball's this year. I know I can count on you two. You may leave now."

We nodded and left to find our friends at the Gryffindor table.

Dumbledore announced the prefects before the first years came in to get sorted. Everyone was ecstatic for Sirius and Sam receiving their badges. Sirius was still in shock of becoming a prefect. Then the first years made their way down the aisle and halted in front of the Head Table.

A young Professor McGonagall stepped forward with a bunch of frightened looking first years, "Now when I call your name, step forward and I will put the hat on you. When it calls out your house, you will go and sit at that designated table. First, Antony, Blair."

'Ah yes, very smart. Also very loyal to her friends and peers. Only one place for you,' The hat yelled, "Gryffindor!"

Our table erupted with cheers as Blair took a spot next to me. The order of our table went;

Lana, Sam, James, Me

----------------table----------------

Tay, Mac, Sirius, Em, Remus

"Evans, Clover," called McGonagall. My sister stepped forward trembling slightly and sat down on the stool.

'Another Evans. I have been waiting for another one for sometime now. Just like your sister. No other place than,' "Gryffindor!"

I stood up clapping, as did my friends, as Lo joined our table. She took a seat next to Mikey and Tyler, who were both put in Gryffindor.

Some more first years were sorted, and then Lo's other friend Naomi was next.

"Lewis, Naomi."

'A true heart. Very brave, yes very brave. And an excellent flyer.'

"Gryffindor!" shouted the hat.

Lo and Blair stood up and congratulated their friend.

After a few more people were sorted James' brother was up.

"Potter, Jason."

'Exactly like your brother. Another decent flyer, but also a very loyal friend. Very brave too.' "Gryffindor!"

The sorting continued on and on. Finally the sorting ended and Dumbledore made his usual speech. Then with a wave of his hand food appeared on their plates. The first year's faces lit up with amazed expressions at the suddenly appearing food.

"Sirius do you always eat like that?" complained Ali.

"Of course," he said while chewing on his food.

"Pig," muttered Tay.

"What Taylor dear?" asked Sirius sweetly.

"Oh nothing," she replied.

"Anyways, how was everyone's summer?" asked Remus.

"Bloody boring if you ask me," said Sirius. "I was cooped up in that place until I left for Prongsie-boys house."

"L.J. tell us more about America," Remus said. "Where did you go?"

"Well," I began, "I went to a count of five states. One of which my mum was born in. First we went to Florida, where it is warm most of the year round but is hit with very powerful tropical storms. There we went to Disney World which is like a really big amusement park. Then we went to New York, where my mum was born in Buffalo. I saw the Twin Towers and statue of Liberty. Next we went to Minnesota and I learned how to play ice hockey. Then, off we went to California, where Hollywood and a lot of famous actors and actresses are shooting films and such. Finally we went to Texas, where we stayed by an enormous amount of water called the Gulf of Mexico. I had a fantastic time; well everything except for Petunia's constant whining."

They all stared at me like I just had spoken another language.

"Okay, apparently no one has any idea what I am talking about," I stated, laughing slightly.

"That's wicked though," breathed Sirius.

"Yeah, bloody fantastic if you ask me," added James.

"Haven't any of you guys been to America?" I asked.

"I have," stated James, "when I was seven though. I hardly remember a thing."

"Where did you go?" I asked eagerly.

"Well began," began James, "I only went to New York, Ohio, California, and Caribbean Islands."

"Awesome," everyone chorused.

Before anyone could continue, Dumbledore clapped his hands together and the hall immediately fell silent. "Ah, another year at Hogwarts is about to begin. One great feast I might add. Prefects should lead the first years back to their dormitories. Finally, I would like to see Ms. Evans and Mr. Potter before they retire to their chambers. Happy dreams all!"

"Let's go little ones!" yelled Sirius.

"Honestly Sirius, be a little less quiet," retorted Sam. "I don't think the dead people heard you."

"Oh stop it you two," cut in Taylor.

James and I stood up and went over to Dumbledore together.

"Sorry to have to bother you two again," Dumbledore smiled, his periwinkle eyes glistening.

"That's okay Professor," I said quickly.

"Anyways, I felt that I rushed my conversation with you last time," he began, "I hope you understood everything about the Head Rooms." We nodded. "Okay good. I was planning on having you two describe what to do with the Christmas Ball. Also we are going to have a Halloween Ball, but not an actual formal Ball. I think it would interesting to hold some sort of singing contest where groups of people or singles sing to songs that they now by heart. Also they are to choreograph their songs into dances. Do you follow me so far?"We nodded yet again."Okay, that's all I can think of right now. You two can think of other ideas too. Just run them by me or another teacher when you get the chance. Now off to your dorms, hurry now. Good night."

"Night Professor," we said before slinking away into the brightly lit corridor.

"This should be a fun thing to organize!" I exclaimed.

"The whole singing contest thing does sound appealing," said James.

"Yeah, we will need to plan things soon. How about this Saturday sine we shouldn't have too much homework yet," I suggested.

"Sounds good, 'Patronus'," said James to the portrait of Godric Gryffindor. The portrait swung open to reveal...

This is my first fic so I hope it didn't suck to back! Please tell me what you think about it. This chapter was probably on of the most boring ones I have written so far, it will definitely get more interesting in a couple more chapters to come.

Questions to Ponder

What do Lily and James think of their new rooms and living arrangements?

Who will sing at the Halloween Ball, and what?

Upcoming

softball game
