This is my first fanfic. Please review. I would appreciate it.
Lily waved to her parents on platform nine and three quarters and without a second glance, jumped on board the steaming Hogwarts express. Her green gaze searched for her best friend. Marlene, where are you? After searching for her for quite a long time, she resolved herself to find an empty compartment.
Almost all the compartments seemed to be filled. Lily had reached the end of the train. Oh my God! I'll be late for the prefects meeting. She thought as at last she found a compartment with Sirius, Remus and Peter. "Um, can I keep my trunk here? You see no other compartment is free." she said addressing Remus more than anyone else.
Remus nodded."Of course. Had a good summer Lily?"he asked.
"Oh, yes Remus. You?" Lily asked.
"Well, I could say I was missing company running." he said with a smirk.
When she looked questioningly at him, all the three marauders grinned their famous, mischievous, cocky, marauder grin. And that was when Lily noticed the ringleader missing. "Where is Potter?" she asked spitefully.
"Why Evans? Thinking of cornering him alone?" Sirius piped up grinning crookedly.
"Shut it Black. I just wondered if he was up to any pranks. You see Potter being who he is, is the most likely, except you of course, to ever think of blowing up the train on the very first day." she said ,angry.
"We have never blown up a train, but thanks for the idea Evans. Anyways I don't think Prongs will be assisting us in pranks anymore." he added sadly.
"What? Why?" asked Lily surprised at this new piece of information, not that she believed it of course. Immature Potter would never grow up.
"Well he's got more important stuff to do. But why are you so interested?" he asked raising his eyebrows.
"It's my duty to keep things in order seeing as I'm Head Girl." she said eyeing her badge.
When none of them replied but continued grinning, she left for her Prefect meeting being late already. I wonder who the Head Boy is. If it's not Remus… she thought trailing off. She reached the Prefect's carriage and opened the door only to see the meeting in commencement and James Potter standing with a Head Boy badge pinned to his robes giving instructions to the other Prefects.
Her mouth fell open with shock. Potter could not be Head Boy, what with his criminal record…and then it struck her. Good prank Potter; you almost had me fooled for a second. She strode in and said "Potter who did you nick the badge from?" hoping to heavens she was correct.
"Evans." he acknowledged with a nod." You're late."
"I asked you a question Potter." she said.
"I didn't take it from any body! I am Head Boy." he said.
Her mouth fell open. She was in shock. Potter? Head Boy? Impossible. What was Dumbledore thinking? But then she remembered what his friends had said about him not going to be involved in any pranks again and it fit. She was so in shock that throughout the meeting she sat quiet and when the Prefects left she turned to him.
"I know you are probably gonna abuse your position and help anybody who does something wrong you being the prat you are. But I am warning you Potter. I will not let that happen. God! What the hell was Dumbledore thinking? How does he expect me to work with an arrogant, stupid, self-centered toe rag?" She screamed knowing well enough she was not setting a good example of Head Girl.
She expected Potter to ask her out or do something to embarrass her but instead he said something that surprised Lily. He caught her glance and said "I'm sorry you feel that way" hurt evident in tone. Then he turned and walked away leaving an astounded Lily behind.
