° Back to Hogwarts! - °
Lily Evans sat on the ground of her best friend Kathy Robinson's light blue bedroom, along with her other best friend Jennifer Grisdale, all of them were talking about what they were going to do once they were back at Hogwarts for their 7th year, which they have been looking forward to, and not looking forward to in some ways at the same time. Lily was happy about being Head Girl, and was planning to try and make the best of her last year at Hogwarts…but she was not so happy that James Potter was Head Boy, because she knew he was going to do nothing but cause trouble. Of course, she was planning to set a good example and make a name for herself, and not let Potters big-head and irresponsibility get to her no matter what the consequences.
The girls didn't know if the idea of Seventh Year should be good or bad. First, it was the last year of studying, tests and headaches. Second, they were the oldest in the school = power. But there were so many negatives to Seventh Year too. There was a hell of a lot more studying, and a hell of a lot more responsibility to match of course. There was also the whole' changing thing'. Allow an explanation. It meant that most of the Seventh Years would start to become a little more serious, realizing the terrible things that were going on in the Wizarding World right now. But they didn't know that they would also change the way they handled things and saw them.
So many things would confuse them, such as why they suddenly cared how much they were getting on tests and how well they were going to do on their N.E.W.T's, or how their life was going ot change after Hogwarts. It was all a phase they didn't know they had to go through. But right now, the girls were putting all of that aside and trying to relax and cool down their nerves for the rest of the summer, which had so far beena relaxing one for all of them. If that's what you called it.
For Lily, it was far from relaxing. Things were busy at her house; people running around planning Petunias dumb wedding zillions of years too early anyway. It was so pointless. She, of course, had a lot of duties relating to that. And that meant start decorating the dumb invitation card, start making the dumb list, and also start helping with errands and little details. Sometimes she just shut her self in her room and screamed away in her pillow, wishing the frustration would go away. Permanently.
She didn't know why her sister was marrying the bull anyway. He was a mean sort of person, who would suck up to her parents, and try to be an angel, but be as sour as anything to Lily. She wouldn't even bother to call him 'brother-in-law'. She thought of him more like 'bull dog in training'. Lily wasn't jealous of Petunia at all though. Petunia had dropped out of college, just to marry Vernon and was now a mindless twat who didn't care about anything except her wedding and giving Lily evil smiles that said 'ahaha I'm getting married and you aren't you stupid freak'. Lily fought hard not to send a hex her way when she did that, of course.
But now, she was trying to forget all of that stuff that gave her a headache and enjoy the last few days of the summer with her best friends.
Kathy sat with her back against her large light blue bed, Jen sitting next to her and Lily facing her. All of them were still in their clothes, even though it was late at night and most people would be getting ready for bed. They had some junk food around them as well as magazines and their wands to do silly things.
"Thanks for letting us stay, Kathy." Lily said and smiled after they just closed a conversation about what they wanted to do after Hogwarts. She really was thankful, because if it wasn't for that, she would have had to stay in her house and bear her sisters dreadful comments about her going to Hogwarts and how great it was going to be without her ugly and freaky face there anymore.
"Yeah!" Jen said and grinned. She was also happy since her father was getting married to another woman, which meant a step-mom, which meant all hell broke loose for Jen who would never accept someone other than her mother, being the stubborn and determined person that she is. Jen had been constantly fighting with her and the woman staying in their house, which Jen had concluded to be one of Satan's evilest demons. She didn't bother to give her a chance, because she loved her mother and her mother only. And when Jen was mad about something, she meant business.
Kathy smiled back, "No problems, there is no need to thank me anyway. Did you think I would let the chance of us getting together for our last Hogwarts summer slip away?" she said and laughed.
Lily and Jen were staying at Kathy's house for three days, the last three glorious, important days of the summer, and then its off to Diagon Alley to get their school supplies tomorrow then they go to King's Cross station the next day and get on the train to Hogwarts for their final year at Hogwarts. All these 'last train rides' and 'last summer of Hogwarts' and 'last year at Hogwarts' were devastating Lily a lot.
"Do you think you'll see him Lil?" Kathy grinned, her different colored eyes twinkling happily, her grin widening evilly, as if she was ready to start tormenting Lily about James. It was time for another 'Lily WILL marry James some day' conversation which lead to a screaming match sometimes, depending on the teasing level being done by Jen and Kathy.
"See who?" Lily and Jen said in unison. Lily turned to look at Kathy when an eyebrow raised. She hoped it wasn't who she thought it was. That was just pure evil. She sighed frustratedly as Jen smirked and Kathy snickered.
"Well .. you know..James!" they both said in a state-the-obvious tone as Lily glared at them both and whacked each of them with her pillow. Why oh why her God, WHY?!
Lily groaned, "I sure hope I don't!" she said and turned away huffily, trying to shut James Potters' face out of her mind. She had been thinking a lot about him lately, strangely enough. She had been wondering if he had actually changed since she last met hin, and was finding it hard to believe. But everytime she looked to his eyes, his deep, hazel eyes, she knew that somewhere in her heart, she wanted him to change. Sometimes she slapped herself for thinking such thoughts, but again a lot of the time she found herself daydreaming about him.
She had to admit that he wasn't a bad person most of the time, yet being a mean person consumed most of his personality in her eyes, no matter how much her friends attempted to tell her that it wasn't the way he really was once you got to know him. But there was one problem, she didn't want to get to know him she wanted him to get away from her.
Jen laughed "Ooooh!" she grinned and poked and poked Lily. Jen always thought that James liked Lily, and that they would one day be Hogwarts most promising couple. Even though Lily, on the other hand, seemed to think that saying that would be being sarcastic more than needed.
Lily scowled.
Kathy pushed a strand of her chocolate brown hair out of her eyes and eyed Lily skeptically. Her hair fell to her shoulders, then the longer hair descended down to her chest. She had one blue eye and one green eye, and she was usually smiling. She had a tanned complexion and had dimples that showed up when she smiled, or when she was talking. Her heart-shaped face was usually happy, and that made people want to be around her a lot. Kathy was also a very cheerful, happy girl who was sort of sensitive, and sometimes let people push her around, which drove Jen crazy and it all resulted in Jen shooting death glares at anyone who annoyed Kathy.
"We know you want to see James, admit it Lily!" Jen said, tying her long blonde curls that almost fell to her waist into a ponytail, her dark gray eyes shining, and her naturally dark red lips curving into a smirk, her pale face turning to look at Lily. Jens hair was a shade of blonde that looked good with her pale face, and her curls were always bouncy, giving off the effect that it was almost the kind of persons he was. Jen's eyes were everchanging shades of gray, and they were small, mysterious eyes framed by long eyelashes, the most meaningful thing on Jens face was her eyes. Jen was tall, curvy and had a certain charm, almost like Sirius'. She was certainly a bit insane, and always loved a bit of trouble, being the type of person who had no intention of letting people push her or her friends around, but also had an understanding, caring side to her. Jen was very outgoing and wild, and sometimes with crazy ideas that lead to not so good things…
Lily threw her head back and laughed hysterically, like that was the most hilarious thing she had ever heard in her whole life. Lily was really pretty, with beautiful dark red hair that fell to her shoulders, it was thick and always well kept of, curling at the ends. Her hair was quite unusual, making her quite unique and a point of attention. Her hair contrasted amazingly with her ivory-ish complexion and her amazing, almond shaped emerald green eyes that usually had a bright twinkle in them and reflected when she was feeling happy. Lily was short, and petite, also very nice to look at. She had an attractive, pleasant smile and a nice attitude, with a smart and kind edge to her. No one didn't like to have the usual small chat with Lily.
"Me? Want to see James Potter?! NEVER! I'd rather have a conversation with the Giant Squid.. its already enough torture that he's Head Boy this year … and I have to put up with him because I'm Head Girl this year!" she said dryly. "Stop bugging me about him, its driving me crazy, I don't want to think about him so put a sock in it, both of you, wont you?"
Kathy laughed, "Oh, come off it Lily! Give the poor guy a break! You know he has feelings for you, no matter how stuck up and immature he may seem!" she said, raising an eyebrow at her friend seriously. She knew that more than once, Lily had thought about James, and given his feelings about her some consideration, but in the end, there was something that just might always keep Lily from James.
Jen grinned "Just you wait ..we'll be at her wedding one of these days Kathy, can you imagine what kind of dress she'll be wearing.. oh I might even cry!" she teased, smirking as Lily banged her head against the wall next to her.
Lily looked horrified, a glare coming across her face as she thwacked her friend with the pillow again and again. "That's not even funny. It's scary. And it's never ever going to happen, not in a million years!"
Jen was too busy laughing to say anything.
Kathy sniggered, standing up and walking around her room, standing at her desk and pulling out a photo, it was James, and he had a dazed expression on his face, and he was staring at Lily "Everyone knows you and James like each other, its just that you don't seem to want to admit it! … Oh and Jen, I think we'll be at her wedding one of these days, yes we will!" she added just as Lily opened her mouth to protest and attempt to snatch the photo out of her friends hands, chasing her around the room.
Lily sniffed disapprovingly as she tackled Kathy on to the bed and attempted to snatch the picture of her screaming friends hands, "James Potter is the last person on Earth people would think I like .. Let alone MARRY you clowns! Now hand the photo over or I will tell Sean Pomroy that you love him!" she said and smirked, Sean Pomroy was the most stuck up Slytherin in the school.
This made Kathy shut her mouth, and Jen laugh even harder as Lily successfully burned the picture and sat on Kathy's back, ignoring her protests about wanting to be able to walk for the rest of her life.
"I'll be you anything he has changed this year Lily!"
Lily frowned "He is an arrogant, bullying, toe rag who thinks its okay for him to hex people when he feels like it just because he can, and he doesn't care about people's feelings! The only person he likes, is him, and the only person he respects, is, well, him! And he doesn't care about what people think about him or wether or not he has a respectable reputation, he doesn't know shit for his own good! He probably doesn't even like me, by the way he acts, all he does is follow me around and badger me to go out with him, which will never happen!..I bet he hasn't changed one little bit, still a prat..Potter the Prat! When will you guys register that he does not like me. He has never even had a relationship longer than a week.."
Jen snorted, shaking her head and waving her hand as though to dismiss all that was just said by an outraged, and though they didn't notice, hurt Lily. She was hurt to think that James was trying so hard just to have her for a week then leave. "Well his bestfriend is hot, so I'll forgive him!" she joked, rolling her eyes. She did think Sirius was good looking, but she also thought he was a jack ass and more of a player than Jame. ".. and he did change!"
Lily rolled her eyes, opening a magazine and hiding her face from her friends while she pretended to read. "Sirius is too thick for his own good.. and I still don't like James, no matter what you two say anyway.." she trailed off quietly as she wondered if this year meant more James-teasing than ever.
Kathy grinned and looked up at Lily from where she was still seated on her back. "Well, I still think you like him Lily! He's really nice to you, and you're so mean to him! You haven't even given him a chance! Which is quite unfair, if you ask me." she said seriously and nodded.
Lily smiled evilly, shaking her head slightly as she thought about it. She was mean to him for reasons, not one only, "Well, he deserves it. Potter thinks he can get every girl he wants, and i'm not going to let him get me … teach him a lesson … I'm not going to be one of the girls he stays with for a week then dumps.. Not me! Never, you guys, im not going that low just so he can leave me alone…"
Kathy shrugged "I dunno Lily. I still think your being unfair and in denial.."
Jen looked at Lily and started singing, "James and Lily sitting in a tree, k-I-s-s-I-n-g, first comes love then comes marriage!" she grinned and immediately got hit with a pillow by Lily, who glared at Kathy, who was laughing so hard, she had tears coming out of her eyes.
Jen scrambled back from Lily and said, "Can we be your bridesmaids at the wedding Lils?"
Lily screamed in frustration as Kathy grinned, "Yeah .. and if you two do decide to get married .. me and Jen get 50 Galleons..each!" she said and smiled, raising an eyebrow teasingly as she pushed Lily off her.
Lily smirked "Alright then, since that's never going to happen .. your on!" she said, putting the magazine she was holding back down and wondering if her friends were still in their right minds.
Mrs.Robinson poked her head into the room and smiled "You'd better get to sleep girls, if you want to wake up in time for Diagon Alley tomorrow!"
The girls nodded and changed into their pajamas then got into bed.
[Next Morning!]
"LILY! GET UP, YOU HAVE TO HELP ME WAKE UP JEN!" Kathy's light and cheerful voice shouted with laughter as she jumped from bed to bed, singing and screaming at the top of her lungs, then throwing water on both of her friends out of an ice cold bucket, her hair flying wildly around her tanned face as she giggled and continued to hop around like an over excited rabbit, the water slipping out of the bucket. Quite a scene.
Lily yelped in surprise "ARGH!" she said and bolted right up, dripping freezing water, her dark red hair seemingly darker from the water as she rubbed her eyes and groaned, throwing her pillow at Kathy lazily and missing, as Kathy scrambled off her bed and moved to Jens bed, tipping the water over Jen.
Jen screamed and fell off her bed, tangled with the covers, then muttered under her breath as she tried to get her tangled curly hair out of her face.
Kathy laughed and prodded them both with her finger, singing again.
"Get dressed get dressed!" she said, attempting to fix her hair, which had gotten messy after doing so much jumping. She smiled and ran a brush through it several times, before it was neat and brushed back again, usual Kathy style while she tossed the brush to Jennifer, whose hair looked like a rats nest.
"Fine, fine, alright.." Jen muttered and started to change, still fussing with her hair while Lily groaned and did the same.
Jen started brushing her long hair on the way downstairs and Lily tied her flame-coloured hair into a high ponytail.
"Good morning girls!" Mrs. Robinson smiled cheerfully, setting down a mug of coffee for herself on the table as the girls all seated themselves around the table for breakfast, yawning slightly and taking in the sent of delicious pancakes.
"Morning Mrs. Robinson!" Lily said and smiled, nodding her head to politely to her best friends rather friendly mother.
"Good Morning!" Jen said, trying not to sound grumpy and sat down.
They all had breakfast quickly then went to Diagon Alley using Floo Powder.
[At Diagon Alley]
The girls walked out of Flourish and Blotts after buying the books they needed, trying not let the weight of the books weigh them down. The sun was still shining brightly, and there kids and parents of all ages bustling around getting their shopping for the school year done, the younger ones squeaking about which house they would rather be in.
"What else do we need?" Lily asked her friends, raising an eyebrow at them as she heaved her sack of books up, but not frustratedly. The feeling of all the people around her would not allow her to feel negative as she smiled softly and looked back at her friends.
"I need some quills and some ink!" Jen said, checking her list and looking back at her friends, who nodded in agreement.
"Ah, me too!" Lily said and smiled, remembering that her old quills had become pretty worn out.
"Me three!" Kathy grinned as they set off towards the store, waving to random people that they knew on their way. So far, they had seen Bellatrix Black looking obnoxious as usual, the two twins in their dorm, who they stopped to chat with for a while and some other boys in their year and in Sixth Year.
"I hope we run into them!" Jen said enthusiastically after they walked out with quills and ink to last them the whole year, along with parachment, almost dropping some of the books she was holding and bumping into Lily, who frowned and started her rant about not wanting to see him again. The only reason Jen wanted to run in to them was because she wanted to see if James had really changed and prove Lily wrong about James.
On the way out of the store, they ran into none other than James Potter and Sirius Black, who were holding some books and parachment. They seemed to be in a good mood, like most of the people around.
"Hello Ladies!" Sirius said and grinned, nodding his head slightly at all of them.
"Hi," James said and smiled, and Lily noticed it wasn't his usual arrogant smile, strangely enough though since that smile was nearly his trademark.
"Hi!" Kathy said cheerfully and grinned.
"Hey," Jen said and smiled slightly, putting the quills in the book sack and setting it down for a moment and glancing at James, and also noticed that his smile wasn't the same. She glanced at Lily, but couldn't catch her eye.
"Hello.." Lily said and smiled, avoiding James slightly as he stared at her.
"Hello Lily, looking wonderful as usual!" James said and grinned, winking jokingly at her and smiling slightly as she rolled her eyes at him. She was so cute when she did that…
Lily rolled her eyes as Jen and Kathy laughed slightly. She glared at them but then smiled slightly, not wanting to be stuck in a bad mood for the rest of the day because of some random remark made by James Potter anyway. She regained her happy attitude and tucked a strand of red hair behind her ear.
"Want to go for some ice cream?" Sirius suggested, smiling slightly as he looked from one girl to the other then around at all the shops and people pushing around.
"Sure!" Kathy and Jen agreed.
Lily tried not to glare at her friends, as she knew all they wanted to do was to try and get her to talk to James somehow without trying to bite his head off. Jen and Kathy stifled laughs and ignored her, chatting animatedly to Sirius, and attempting to drive him mad by talking too fast on purpose. Lily and James laughed at this as they followed them into Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor, to find Remus and Peter waiting for all of them.
They ordered ice cream and then Sirius and Jen started arguing about which spell was best to use to hex someone like Lucius Malfoy, and it seemed like a heated discussion. Kathy was talking in her usual cheerful tone to Remus and Peter about who she heard was going to be their new DADA teacher this year.
"I heard she's nice and used to be an auror..hehe. I hope she's nicer than last years teacher."
James turned and looked at Lily, "so..whats up?" he asked her in a casual conversational tone, turning his head to look at her. She was so pretty. He loved absolutely everything about her, if only she knew, if only she knew how much he cared about her. Inwardly, he knew that someday, she was going to be with him.
Lily shrugged slightly, moving her spoon around her ice cream and glancing back at James. "Nothing." She said and brushed a strand of hair away from her face, trying to avoid his eyes, the thing that always got her about him. She loved his eyes.
Soon enough, James and Lily where having a conversation, with Lily looking slightly surprised James wasn't asking her out a hundred time already, though she was surprised in a good way. (A/N : Can I be anymore complicated? XD). She smiled slightly as the conversation continued and then she glanced off at the books he had set on the table and remembered that there was one book she had planned to buy, but obviously forgotten.
"Erm… I have to go buy a book! Ill be right back!" she said and jumped up from her chair then ran to Flourish and Blotts, dodging little kids on her way and muttering apologies to people.
'This is not happening .. this is not happening .. James Potter is being nice?!' she thought wildy as she pushed the door to the bookstore open, and bumped right into Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape outside the store, making him drop all his things and herself to fly backwards onto the floor as some passers by laughed as she brushed her red hair out of her face to see who she had very shamefully run in to.
"Sorry," she muttered and she started to stand up to apologise again, picking up one of Malfoy's books to hand it to him, still not knowing who it was she had bumped in to since she was blushing so much and refused to look up.
"Watch it mudblood!" Lucius sputtered, his cold voice sending a shiver down her spine while he was dusting off his robes where Lily bumped into him as if it was something disgusting, and snatching his book from her and examining it "No filth on it," he mumbled to himself and smiled meanly, putting the book in a bag and then glared at Lily, his icy blue eyes turning to slits while he bore holes in to her face, which turned even redder at the insults.
Snape looked at her as if she were some kind of toe fungus and stepped back, smirking at her evilly.
"Its not like I wanted to bump into you Malfoy!" she yelled angrily, stomping her foot slightly and tossed his stupid book at him as she felt her temper rise. Uh-oh. Not good. When Lily's temper started to flare, the most thing advised to do was to step back. All people knew this and were more than happy to step out of the way when she was angry and in reach of a wand.
Snape sniggered as Malfoy withdrew his wand from his robes and pointed it Lily. "Watch your mouth, your piece of crap." He said dangerously as he glared at her.
Lily took out her own wand and glared fiercly at Malfoy and Snape. "You had best leave me alone, you two low lives who will turn out to be useless tramps for the rest of your useless, dark filled lives!" she raged at them.
James appeared next to her, obviously seething by the cold of fury on his face as she shoved Malfoy out of the way.
"Back off," he said dangerously.
"Oh look, Potter has a crush on the mudblood," Snape smirked, forgetting just what James might do to him if he and the Marauders caught him somewhere. Hex, hex, hex….
Malfoy laughed coldly, his eyes showing no emotion as he pushed James back, glaring at him with hatred quite evident on his face.
James hexed them both then turned and started walking back to Florean Fortescue's Ice cream parlor with Lily, ignoring their groans and calls for help as he tried to calm himself down slightly, still not looking at Lily.
"Thanks .. but I could have handled them by myself!" she said angrily, glaring at James as she shoved her wand in to her robe pocket irritatedly.
"I was only trying to help!" he said, slightly angrily and turned away from her, walking a little bit ahead of her and muttering things about ungrateful people these days and waving a hand in sarcasm. Lily shook her head and wondered why her best friends where running over to her looking panicked, well Kathy to be exact.
"We have to go!" they said at the same time.
"We're late, we were supposed to be home half an hour ago!" Kathy said, sounding exasperated and worried as she brushed her hair away from her face. "Ack, where have you been Lily, why didn't you tell us you were going to the book store?"
"Relax!" Jen snapped, hating the feeling of people panicking around her.
They all said their Goodbye's and the girls went back home.
"Bye!" James called after them and sighed slightly, walking back into Florean Fortescue's Ice cream parlor and wondering if he could be any stupider.
[Back at the house!]
"Katherine Mary Robinson, where have you been!? Do you realize that you are 30 minutes late girls?!" Mrs. Robinson said angrily, frowning slightly as she walked over to them crossing her arms over her chest and looking from one to the other as thought expecting an answer, and they all started talking at once.
"Sorry we lost track of time-"
"We were doing allot of things-"
They all started talking at the same time but then Mrs. Robinson forgave them.
"Alright, alright, but don't let it happen again.. now you girls might want to go to bed a bit early today if you don't want to miss the train tomorrow!" Mrs. Robinson added as a reminder as the girls started going up the stairs to Kathy's room. "And girls, please start being more responsible, you are in your Seventh Year now, and you are all seventeen and that means that you have to start growing up and taking things more seriously!"
Kathy sighed with relief, rolling her eyes slightly as she shook her head at her moms words. Jeez the woman made it sound like they had just commited a crime!
"Well that went better than you were expecting, didn't it Kath?..argh I hate it when you panick like it's the end of the damn world!" Jen said and frowned, plopping down on Kathy's bed after they walked in.
Lily laughed.
Kathy rolled her eyes at Jen and threw her pillow at her, and then her eyes lit up. "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys, look!" she said and walked over to a bad cheerfully, pulling out a wizard camera, "I figured since this is our last year at Hogwarts I'd fool around with this! It'll be fun taking pictures of certain occasions and keeping them as memores." she grinned "Hehe.."
Jen snatched it from her "I'm already getting ideas!" she said and grinned evilly, running a hand over the camera thoughtfully. You could nearly see the wheels turning behind her eyes. Some people were in for it, this year, with that thing around.
Lily rolled her eyes, "don't start Jen.." she said exasperatedly, knowing her best friends antics all too well to forget what Jen could do when in close tough with an object that could cause much trouble.
Jen's eyes glittered mischievously "Just think of all the stuff we can do with this camera!" she squeaked, smiling at the camera fondly.
Kathy laughed and took it from her, "Yes we'll have to wait and see then."
[Next Day]
Lily, Jen, and Kathy all rushed around in Kathy's room, Jen screaming about having to brush her long, slightly tangled, curly hair and was packing her trunk and trying to find her stuff at the same time while Lily sat on her trunk, trying to close it and French braiding her hair while she was sitting on it, Kathy was pulling on her shoes and yelling at Jen to shut up and Lily to hurry up. After 10 minutes of stumbling around, the girls were dragging their trunks out of Kathy's room, wearing Muggle clothes. Lily was wearing denim jeans and a white turtleneck, Kathy was wearing a lavender t-shirt and a jean skirt, and Jen was wearing a blue jacket, a yellow tank and black bootleg pants. (A/N : I jus had to mention that … -_- ..)
After wolfing down breakfast quickly, the girls rushed outside to stuff their trunks and pet cages into the car and then set off to King's Cross Station.
[Hogwarts Express!]
"Oh my God, that was the most rushed event of my life!" Kathy said and sighed relivedly, leaning against the wall. "Phew..the door was just closing when we jumped in..unbelievable!" she said, running a hand through her hair slightly and adjusting her top. Jen nodded in agreement, looking slightly bewildered. She was the one who had to nearly die squished between her friends while the door closed, of course. Lily was looking slightly skeptical. She was late for arriving at the Prefects carriage, and watching everything go in order, and that wasn't good.
She quickly waved to her friends and made her way to the Prefects carriage, a frown growing on her face as she saw the person waiting for her, leaning against the door frame with a smirk on his face.
"Your late, you know." James said, smirking at Lily slightly. He knew that she hated to be late, or disorganized, or out of order. Well, everyone knew.
"Shut it Potter.." she growled and pushed past him, frowning slightly as the tall boy didn't even seem offended by her actions.
He followed her, "we have to tell the other Prefects what to do now.." he said, raising an eyebrow at her attitude so far. He didn't really ask to be Head Boy, did he? He and the other Marauders agreed that Dumbledore was drunk when he picked this years Head Boy.
"Fine." She said and shrugged, not looking at James as she stepped in to the room with all the Prefects in it. She gave a little speech, instructing the Prefects to set a good example fo rthe younger ones, and also to please make sure everything was in order, and James did the same, except he had to get in to more detail and answer the questions then both of them had to patrol the corridors and check everything was okay.
After an hour and a half of doing this, both Lily and James decided to find their friends, and they were both surprised to see their friends sitting together, strange, really strange indeed. Lily raised an eyebrow at her friends, wanting to kill them both. They were mad went they? Did they just really, really want her to like James or something or was it that Mrs. Robinson had put something mysterious in their food?
Jen smiled at them. "Hallo!" she said happily and nodded her head at the smiling James and the dark-looking Lily. She knew Lily was mad at them because she knew that Lily knew what they were up to.
Kathy was laughing so hard at Peter because he just chocked on an Earwax flavoured bean, she almost didn't notice Lily and James come in, she was trying to catch her breath while Remus half tried not to laugh at her while he helped Peter then going back to his book.
Sirius grinned as he looked over to Lily and James, nodding his head in a rather casual fashion as he sat back in his chair "Hey Prongsie and Evans! How's it going?!". Lily snarled at him and sat down quietly.
"Fine," Lily answered and poked Kathy hard so she would stop laughing and glared at James as he sat down next to her, grinning slightly. James decided to ignore her might make her feel better and turned away, shaking his head slightly with a sigh.
James looked over at Remus "Hey Remus, what are you reading?" he asked conversationally, noticing the book in his friends hands. Books were a part of his appearance anyway.
Remus shrugged "Our new DADA book." He said casually. Remus usually read the new DADA book before every year out of interest more than anything really.
Sirius frowned, "and why haven't you fallen asleep yet reading that thing?" he asked and raised an eyebrow at him like reading a school bookw as the most ridiculous thing ever. "I mean, its so useless mate!" he said seriously and nodded while Lily shook her head at him, as though she pitied him grately.
"Because he's not as thick as you are," Lily answered for Remus and rolled her eyes at Sirius, who glared at her with a slight pout.
"Hi Lovebirds!" Kathy says to Lily and James.
Lily shot daggers at Kathy and started yelling about how she would never like James, even if her life depended on it, and stormed out of the compartment, leaving everyone inside laughing, excluding Remus, and partly James of course.
Lily muttered angrily to herself after telling off some third years for setting off a dungbomb in the hall.
She changed into her school robes quickly and ran over to the compartment her friends were in and dragged James out without a glance at her friends or anyone else in the compartment.
"What?" James asked, a slightly confused look on his face at the sudden actions.
"The train is going to stop anytime now, we have to supervise everything, that's what!" she snapped impatiently, shaking her head at James.
James glared at her "I know that!" he said stubbornly and turned away from her.
Lily rolled her eyes and started making her way through the crowd as the train stopped, the doors to the train were opened, and people where quickly piling out nearly stepping on each other and not watching where they where going.
"NO PUSHING!"Lily bellowed over the noise of the crowd, and started making her way out of the train after James, to supervise what was going on outside, they had to make sure everyone got onto the carriages and no trouble was going on. She sighed as she saw James sort of neglect an argument between two people going on near himself. She sighed.
This was going to be a long year./

A/N: *freaks out* eeeeeeeeh!*squeals* This is my first fic, I know its not that good and I just hope that you make some suggestions if you review, which im hoping you'll do! * grins * ahhh, no flames please! Okey, so this took me about 5 days to make because all my evil ideas and stuff were jumbled .. I have a feeling its not good but I want to know what you guys think ! I would be so happy if you reviewed my story @_@..hehe..im going to thank all my reviewers personally (when I get any XD). I hope I got what the Prefects do right, because im not very sure about it, J.K Rowling was never descriptive about the Prefect tasks and duties and stuff .. and sorry if theres any errors or anything!
