The Stag

I woke up on September 1st, with a happy smile on my face. It was hard to fully understand why the timer said 6 am, when I remembered putting it on to ring at 8am. But of course, everything else would have been weird. I always woke up early, when there was something I really looked forward too. Today I was off to Hogwarts, and I was made Heard Girl. How cool was that?

I lay myself back on the bed, just thinking about how lucky I was. Lilly Evans; a witch and a very bright witch if that should matter. I had the best friend, Mary MacDonald, the best roommates and the coolest mum. Dad died several years ago, in a car accident, and that wasn't something I'd like to think too much about.

Finally, the clock said 8:30, and I could go up. I took the clothes, which lay on the chair next to the bed, and headed over to the shower. When the bath was finished, I hurried down to the kitchen, were mom greeted me welcome with a big smile on her face.

"Good morning sunshine! Did you sleep well and more important, are you ready for the big day?"

I just smiled back at her. "Of course mum, it's going to be the best year at Hogwarts!"

Mum was always somehow happy. Something had inherited from, except in front of those people I couldn't stand. When they were anywhere near, it was hard to be happy and smile. But these people, couldn't I care less about. I tried to always see the bright things in everything that happened.

When the clock turned 10:30, I kissed mum farewell, and apparated to King's cross. Petunia hadn't showed up, she liked to sleep long on Sundays. When I finally got to the station, it felt like home. It was kind of sad to think that this was the last time I would go to Hogwarts express, and the last time I would see this station. Until it was my own daughter or son, there should be on the train to Hogwarts. I almost slipped a tear, but couldn't get myself to do it, considering I was Head Girl, I had to get a grip on herself.

After a couple of minutes, I found myself standing on the entrance to platform 9 ¾. I remembered too well the first time I was on to Hogwarts as a 1. year, and couldn't find the platform. That was the reason why I stood here, to lead all the muggleborn 1. years to the right place. How to do it was simply just to look at the people, who stood around this, and all of them with a mysterious look on their faces, I would go over and tell them the way.


My eyes flew up. Something's wrong. Why was the sun shining that much? I looked over to the clock: 10:35. Damn, I slept over. I hurried in some pants, grabbed my suitcase and ran down the stairs. How could it be, that this always happened. Was it not my mum's job, to wake me? Maybe I shouldn't count on it anymore. I mean; I'm seventeen, and on my way to Hogwarts to be Head Boy. Yes, head boy. It is unbelievable actually. Sirius couldn't stop laughing when he found out. Sirius! Maybe I should wake him too. I hurried up the stairs to Sirius' door and crashed trough the door. Sirius yelled at me. "Whoa! Hold there James! What do you think you're doing?"

He had almost flown to the ceiling, and it was hard to hold the grin inside.

"Sirius, hurry! We're late, and if you don't get your big, fat ass down the stairs so we can apparate to King's cross, we'll miss the train!" I managed to say, without to much laughter coming out of my mouth. But just when I said that, a big grin had appeared on Sirius face.

"What is so funny?!" I managed to yell.

"Why don't we just apparate to Hogwarts that would be the coolest!"

I looked at him with big eyes.

"Because I'm head boy, that's why. And because of the fact that moony and wormtail are waiting for us on the platform".

Sirius glanced at me, but he finally got up, and was in the middle of taking some clothes on, when I hurried down again.

"Mum! Dad! Get up! Sirius and I are leaving in five minutes, and I want to say goodbye before."

My mum and dad got in the kitchen, to say goodbye, while Sirius was coming down the stairs too. We said goodbye to each other, and when Sirius and I finally apparated to King's Cross, the time was 10:47. We were going to make it.


The time was a quarter to eleven, Mary had already arrived, and so had many other people that I knew. They were all very happy for her, and the fact that she was head girl. Sirius Black and James Potter had just arrived. Sirius smiled at me.

"Good morning flower. Get it? Your name is a flower, so instead of saying your name, I'll just say flower. Isn't that funny?"

He laughed silently for himself. Potter drove his elbow in his side.

"Hey Evans. Bright day, huh? I guess we will see each other later then, or sooner, whatever you want." Potter smiled and winked at me, before they both headed to the platform.

I looked after them. Stupid boys. Why should they be in Gryffindor too? It looked like nothing has changed about them.

I was one of the first there, when Potter showed up.

"Hello". I said to him.

"Remus isn't here yet, I shall tell him you stopped by".

But then he grinned at me. What was so funny? Was my pants on backwards? I quickly took a look down on myself. Nope, everything was perfect.

"Didn't you know Evans? I'm this year head boy, and according to that badge you wear, it looks like we're going to be partners, and that'll mean we will spend much more time together".

I just looked at him. What? Could that really be true? I pinched myself in the arm. Yes, this was no dream. The real world. Not my imagination.

"Really? That was a surprise. I hope you'll make Dumbledore proud and not regretting his choice of head boy".

"Don't worry Evans, I will". He just said, and somehow I believed him.

"Well then, let's get started". I managed to say. Wasn't Potter some sort of a really immature kid? How in the world was this happening.

"Hey Evans! What about you and I, tomorrow night, talking about you know, head duties and everything else?" He smirked at me.

Nope. There was definitely no change at all.

"Only in your dreams Potter, let's get started on this. The earlier we get started, the earlier we can go".

And then I lounged myself beside some 6th years Ravenclaw prefects.


After a couple of hours, we finally were on Hogwarts, seen the sorting, ate the feast and now we was up in the dorms. I still hadn't fully understood the fact, that Potter was head boy, but it started to make sense. I was coming to the solution that he was quidditch captain, and with that, he had a lot of responsibility. That must be the reason Dumbledore had chosen him.

Mary looked at me.

"Isn't it exiting, that Potter is head boy?"

I shrugged, but unfortunately, Anna Stewart, Nikki Manson and Alexandra White had heard her, and they began to scream;

"What? Is Potter head boy? How romantic Lilly! Now you guys can snog in a broom cupboard without getting noticed!"

This was why I'd never gotten along very well with these girls. All they could talk about was how romantic things were. I mean, get a grip on your self. Life was about other stuff than boys. Mary rolled her eyes at them, and looked at me, just like she was saying "I'm sorry".

As I saw it, I now had three possibilities:

1: Head back in the common room and sit there for an hour or so, without doing anything.

2: Pretend I listen to their conversation.

3: Say I'm going to sleep.

I picked number three.

"Girls, as much as I love this conversation, I have to sleep now, to be ready for tomorrow's lesions you know. Goodnight". And that was there I lay my head on the pillow, without looking on their stunned faces.


After the dinner, we hurried down to the dorms. It was a long time ago us four had been together. Remus and his parents had been on a holiday to Australia, so most of the time it had just been me, Sirius and Peter who had enjoyed each others company.

"So, when's full moon, moony?" I heard Sirius say. He had always enjoyed this evenings. I had too, if it wasn't for the fact, that Remus wasn't himself when these trips were been holding. It was kind of sad to think about.

"For the 10th time this evening; it's on next Saturday. Padfoot is your brain still on vacation, or had you just lost your memory?"

I heard Remus smirk, before his head was covered with a pillow that Sirius had thrown on his face.

I laughed at them. It was wonderful to be back at Hogwarts.


A/N: So, I hope you liked it! This chapter was just some sort of starter. The juicy stuff hadn't started yet. So if you think that it's a boring story, please wait to the next chapter, when the story really has started!

And just for those people, who would like to know, James is getting different. As I said, this was just a start.

Please review and make my day!
