"The head's common room is this way, right?" Lily said as she walked with James down one of the many corridors taking you where you need to go in Hogwarts. They had just finished their first head meeting with Dumbledore and were now looking forward to seeing their new dormitories for the first time.

"Yep, just down here." James stated as the two turned a corner.

"So, how was your summer?" Lily asked sub-consciously admiring the heads badge on her robes.

"It was normal, I suppose, Sirius stayed at my house again and apart from his birthday everything was the same as usual."

"Why what happened on his birthday?" Lily asked.

"Well, Sirius always wants to celebrate his birthday in some really strange and unusual way; last year we went to a muggle theme park and let me tell you that is not a memory I am going to easily forget." James replied. "This year he wanted to do something huge because he was coming of age and all. Well, it was huge alright!"

"What was huge about his birthday?" Lily curiously asked eyeing James suspiciously.

"We hired this massive bouncy castle but it was way better than those muggle ones I've seen! It had three stories and it was extra bouncy for better bouncability!" James bounced as he walked for emphasis.

"James Potter, how old are you exactly?"

"Well, exactly, I am seventeen years, five months, four days, sixteen hours, eighteen minuets and 2,3,4 seconds old," James replied smugly.

"Is that right, so, that would mean that you were born on 27th March 1960 at 5:42pm?"

"Yeah, err… oh look we're here at the common room!" James informed Lily whilst she smiled in the old know-it-all way.

James pushed the portrait open and let Lily in first. He shut the portrait behind him and looked into the common room – which was a lot busier than he had expected.

The common room was decorated in the Gryffindor colours; had a small kitchen in the far corner; sofas dotted all around; and a roaring fire dominating the far wall. Over the largest sofa one Sirius Black was draped looking completely at home amongst his fellow Marauders and Lily's friends – Marcia and Ellie.

"What the hell are you guys doing in here? We're not even here yet." James asked.

"Yeah, and what happened to that clever little invention called a password?" Lily waved her arms around dramatically.

"Babes, passwords don't work until you've set them." Sirius said as he arranged himself more comfortably on the sofa.

"So we thought we'd chill here for a bit." Marcia nonchalantly replied.

"Whatever, and Sirius don't call me babes. I thought we talked about this last year." As she said it Lily kicked Sirius' feet off the couch so she could sit down.

"Oh no Lils. You see I was actually talking to James over there."

"Sirius I thought we talked about that over the summer as well?" James pushed Sirius completely off the couch so he could sit next to Lily.

"Cheers for pushing me off guys, it's actually quite comfy down here so," at this point Sirius made a 'W' sign with his hands.

"Is it really comfy down there Sirius?" Marcia asked.

"Come join me and find out for yourself."

"Nah, I'll stay on top of the chair." Everyone sniggered at Sirius' rejection.

"Tough luck mate," Peter offered some comfort.

"Shut up Pete." Sirius yelled up from the floor.

The seven teenagers chatted with each other, catching up after their long summers. Sirius stayed on the floor, unwilling to move in case his pride was put in jeopardy.

"So apart from the shitty British weather our summers were alright." Remus stated. There was general agreement in the room.

Lily placed her feet on Sirius' stomach. "Gosh Sirius, you're a very comfortable foot rest. Can I transfigure you into one permanently?"

"No, but someone once told me that feet are very good for massaging. Move your feet a bit lower and we can see if that's true." Sirius winked up at Lily suggestively.

"Sirius that is rather unnecessary." Ellie piped up.

"Well, personally I'm feeling a bit -"

"Right everyone bugger off!" James shot up kicking Sirius in the process.

"Why James, do you want to get down here because you know Lily has got two feet," Sirius stood up finally.

"No, I'm not interested in Lily's feet."

"So what are you interested in, James?" Remus asked.

"Nothing… err… what… no… everyone out!" Everyone walked out leaving James and Lily alone.

"Does that include me, Potter?" Lily demanded, hands on hips.

"Of course not, I never include you!" James turned to face Lily, realisation falling upon him as he saw Lily's fierce expression. "What I mean is err…"

"Potter I am going to bed." Lily ended the conversation. She started walking up the staircase when James called after her.

"Lily, wait, what about a password? Unless you want Sirius getting in again."

"What about… Lily massages James with her feet?" Lily proposed looking over the banister innocently.

"Are you sure? You don't want people getting the wrong idea!"

"Potter it is a password; people aren't meant to know it. Anyway, Sirius isn't likely to guess that." Lily walked up the stairs and went into her room.

James set the password smiling slightly as he did, then he went up the stairs. As he admired his room, he couldn't help congratulating himself for such a smooth first day back. Everything was going great with Lily and he knew this was the year it would happen, (even if every other year had been that year too.)

The next morning, Lily woke up to the smell of pancakes. She rushed down the stairs expecting to see James attempting to butter her up with breakfast in bed. Instead, she saw someone wearing a fuchsia silk dressing gown, a blue hair net and an inappropriate apron with a naked lady on it. The person was none other than Sirius.

"What are you doing in my kitchen making pancakes, we have a password!" Lily yelled.

"Your password wasn't too hard to figure out," Sirius replied causing Lily to blush. At that moment James appeared coming down the stairs.

"Morning babes!" Sirius greeted.

"Sirius I thought we had discussed this -" Lily began.

"No, not you, James" Sirius rolled his eyes.

"Oh, ok," Lily said to Sirius, "Morning Potter nice hair."

"Thanks Evans, it's nearly as nice as your sleep wear." James replied eyeing her up.

"When you two stop flirting with each other, I happy to announce that breakfast is served." Sirius presented two plates with smiley pancakes on, "Look it's happy to see you."

James and Lily looked at Sirius with looks of pure concern on their faces.

"Sirius you should go now, get some help or some firewhisky down you." James suggested.

"Aren't you going to say thank you."

"No, now go so we can change the password." Lily said.

"Again," James added.

"Fine but I will only guess it again."

Sirius left leaving James and Lily to eat Sirius' pancakes.

"That not half bad are they" Lily said.
