Lily's POV

The scarlet steam engine was chugging away at the platform. Lily Evans stood by the barrier that opened on to platform nine and three quarters, savouring the atmosphere. This would be the last time she would be boarding the Hogwarts Express on the way to school, and she felt slightly sad about it. But she also felt happy; this year she knew would be different. This year she had added powers that would help her live her life just as she wanted. She had been made Head Girl.

She had changed into her robes already and pinned her shiny red badge onto the front of them. Her mum had been worried about her being seen in her billowing black robes, because she knew that the wizarding world had to be a secret, but Lily reassured her mother that she wouldn't be seen. There was no way that she was going to break a rule, and an important one at that. She had Apparated into a bathroom at King's Cross station, and then preformed a Disillusionment charm on herself. That way, she could walk to the barrier without being seen in her Hogwarts robes, but still didn't have to change on the train. Heaven knows she didn't want Potter and his friends spying on her getting dressed again.

As she thought of Potter, she smiled. This year, Potter wouldn't have a leg to stand on. She would be able to dock points and put him in detention if he so much as looked at her! The summer had been awful again; he had sent owls asking her out every week. Though at least it was an improvement on last year, she thought, that had been one every day! No, Potter's days of asking her out and pranking people for the hell of it were over.

'LILY!'

Lily was disrupted from her thoughts by someone squealing her name. She turned to see two people running towards her, and Lily broke out in a grin. Tossing her flaming red hair over her shoulder, she strode over to the running girls. They stopped running when they reached her and threw their arms around each other.

'Oh, I've missed you!'

These were two of Lily's friends and dorm-mates, Danni Carson and Tarragon Hodge. Danni was often considered the most beautiful girl in the school; she had long, blonde hair that waved as it got towards the end, and bright blue eyes that shone like sapphires, full lips and high cheekbones. She had all the boys chasing after her, and had been out with quite a few of them. She was the female equivalent of Sirius Black.

'Hi Danni,' Lily said with a smile. Despite her superficial nature, Lily had always liked Danni. 'How was your summer?'

'Oh, you know,' Danni replied. 'We went to the south of France, it was lovely.'

'How's Jackson?' Jackson Kennedy was a fellow seventh year, but in Ravenclaw. He was Danni's boyfriend.

'Oh, I dumped him last week,' Danni said. 'He kept on talking about Quidditch all the time. Like I cared! So I gave him the heave-ho.'

'Oh no,' Tarragon giggled and exchanged looks with Lily.

Tarragon was beautiful too, though not as much as Danni. She was the joker of their little group, and to Lily's annoyance she got on quite well with James and Sirius. She always said that Lily and James would make a great couple, though she tactfully refrained after Lily had just shouted at him and was really angry. Tarragon had brown, shoulder length hair and brown eyes that shone with mischief most of the time. Her most precious possession was her charm bracelet that Lily had never seen her without.

'Where are Mary and Celia?' Lily asked, looking about the platform.

Mary Macdonald and Celia Briggs were the other two girls that shared the dorm with Lily, Danni and Tarragon.

'Mary was just saying goodbye to her parents, and Celia's probably late, as usual!' Tarragon laughed.

'I have something to tell everyone when they get here,' Lily said. 'Something really exciting!'

'Ooh, what is it?' Danni squealed in excitement. 'Are you and James finally going out?'

'Oh my god, no!' Lily squealed, pretending to hit her friend. 'That'll never happen. No, it's something really great!'

'Oh, Lily you can't leave us in suspense like this!' Tarragon said. 'Please tell us!'

Lily smiled at her friend's excitement and decided she couldn't be cruel to them.

'I'm Head Girl!'

'Oh Lily, that's wonderful!' Danni said, and both she and Tarragon rushed forward to hug Lily again. 'How come you didn't tell us over the summer?'

'I wanted it to be a surprise. Do you realise what this means?'

'You're the most powerful student in the school?' Tarragon asked.

'You get to share a dorm with the Head Boy?' Danni said. 'Do you know who it is by the way?'

'No I don't, but they aren't the answers.' She looked round at her friends in disbelief that they didn't understand. 'Potter won't be able to harass me anymore!'

Danni laughed, and Tarragon grinned in a mischievous way. Lily knew what was coming and groaned.

'You know…' Tarragon began.

'No!' Lily said. 'I am not going to consider James Potter this year.'

'Aww, but you'd make such a sweet couple!' Tarragon protested. 'He's really grown up this past year, and he really likes you. Remember when he decorated the common room with that massive banner and all those lilies last year?'

'I know that was so sweet!' Danni said, swooning. 'If a guy did that for me, I'd definitely go out with him!'

'You go out with everyone, Danni,' Lily said with a laugh, and Tarragon giggled. 'And anyway, if you two think he's so great, why don't you go out with him?'

'I already did, remember?' Tarragon said. 'In fourth year, just after Christmas.'

Oh yes, Lily remembered now. For three, incredible weeks, she hadn't been pestered or asked out at all. It had been like a holiday.

'He was a perfect gentleman the entire time,' Tarragon was saying. 'But we both knew I was just a distraction from you. And anyway, we were better off as friends.'

'Why were you three all squealing a moment ago?'

The three girls turned round. Standing there was Mary McDonald, the fourth member of Lily's little gang.

'Hi Mary, did you have a good summer?' Lily asked.

'Never mind that,' Mary said, brushing Lily aside. 'What was all that fuss about?'

'Lily's been made Head Girl!'

There was another round of squealing as Mary congratulated Lily.

'Ooh, do you know who Head Boy is?' she asked once she'd calmed down.

'No,' Lily said. 'I expect it's Remus though. It's who I would pick if I was Dumbledore.'

Suddenly, the whistle blew, marking five minutes before the train left.

'Oh, lorks! Quick, let's get on the train! We can talk more in there. And where's Celia?' Tarragon said.

'We must have missed her,' Lily said as she grabbed her trunk, and with the help of Danni and Mary, dragged it towards the engine. 'She's probably on there already with her sister.'

They managed to get on to the train just as the doors closed for the final time. The corridor was thick with people entering their compartments, or else hanging out of the windows to talk to parents.

'Come on, let's find an empty compartment!' Mary shouted above the din.

'I can't,' Lily said. 'I've got to go and conduct the prefect meeting at the front. Would you be able to take my trunk and I'll come and find you later?'

'Of course,' Tarragon said. 'See you later!'

She, Mary and Danni walked away, taking Lily's trunk with them, while Lily herself turned and fought her way through the crowds to the front of the train, wondering just who she was going to meet as her opposite in that head's compartment.

Well there we go. I hope you enjoyed it. What will her reaction be when she sees the identity of the new Head Boy? And where is Celia? Read more to find out!
