Lily woke up to her mother beaming from the kitchen. She rubbed her eyes and slowly got out of bed.
"LILY! LILY!" her mother was shouting. When Lily finally got downstairs, she realized what was going on. Her owl, Flip Flop, had come to deliver some kind of note to her, but hadn't found a way out of the house and was flying around like a crazy maniac.
"Mum, chill it's Flip Flop, he just can't find a way out to get more mail for me, sheesh." She said laughing.She opened a window and the bird flew out happily. Next, her attention went to the letter that was now under the kitchen table from her mother trying to hit Flip Flop with a broom. She bent over, picked it up, and held it in her hand a moment. What could this be? She thought. Her mother rushed over to her.
"Well open it already!" Her mother, a muggle, didn't know what this could possibly be either. So Lily opened the envelope slowly. Inside was a letter that read:
Dear Ms. Lily Evans,
It is my honor to send this letter to you, telling you that you have been made head girl for your seventh year at Hogwarts. You will find out who head boy is when you get on the train in the Heads compartment.
Yours sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
Lily couldn't believe it! Head Girl! She had never been happier! It was also not much of a surprise to her. She had been the best prefect, and had the best grades in her class. Dumbledore had told her himself. Anyway, she was beaming! Her mother had no idea what was going on, but by Lily's expression it was a good thing. She looked at her watch, 9:15. The Hogwarts express left promptly at 11. She was already packed and everything, but she had to get ready. She went upstairs and looked through her wardrobe.
What to wear, what to wear. Hmmm this might work. She pulled out a pink tank top she had gotten for her birthday, and a denim mini skirt. Perfect! She thought. Now for what shoes to wear. She stood looking at the shoes she hadn't packed for Hogwarts, and found a pair of white flip flops with rhinestones on them. She slid them on and went to fix her hair. Her bright red hair, and her emerald green eyes, was what made Lily Evans, Lily Evans. It matched her personality perfectly. Once she was finished doing her hair and make up, she found her sister Petunia.
"How do I look?" she asked. Petunia just scoffed and went to go find her cat that she regularly lost. Lily rolled her eyes and went to find her father. She asked him the same question.
"Oh wow! You look gorgeous dear! Have a terrific year, I wish I could go to the train station with you, but the office needs me for a meeting. Love you!" and with that, he gave her a hug and kiss and he was out the door. It had always been that way with her father really. The office needed him for this; the office needed him for that. She didn't mind it, considering she wasn't home 9 months out of 12. It was now 10:15 and Lily's mother asked if she was ready to go.
"Yes mum" she replied, pulling her trunk behind her. When they finally got to platform 9 ¾ Lily told her mother goodbye, and she ran through the brick wall to the other side.
Within the next 30 seconds, Lily's 3 friends Flora, Amelia and Caitlyn came running up to her. They decided to get on the train and find a compartment before starting their conversations that always seemed to go on forever. Lily agreed but told them that she would soon have to move to the Head's compartment and find out who the Head boy was. Her friends were so excited for her. They all knew who they head boy was, from Caitlyn, who was good friends with him and they had talked over the summer. He had told her that the letter had said that he would find out who the head girl was on the train, but he wanted to know sooner, so he asked her. But she refused to tell him.
"I know who the Head Boy is!" Caitlyn exclaimed when Lily announced that she was Head Girl.
"Who? It better not be that scandalizing James Potter, I swear I will ring Dumbledore's neck if it's him." Lily said, sounding very serious.
"I'm not telling who it is!" Caitlyn replied.
"Can you tell meeee?" Flora asked excitedly. Caitlyn whispered his name into Flora's ear, and immediately started laughing. "Well this will be an interesting year won't it?" she giggled. Lily still looked confused but shook it off. They continued talking and a little while later Lily looked at her watch.
"I better be off to the Head's compartment" she said, and told her friends that she would see them at school. She brought a book with her; figuring whoever the Head Boy was wouldn't be there when she was. And she was right. She sat down and began to read. A few minutes a familiar voice spoke.
"Hey Evans" the voice said, and sat down across from her. Lily was stunned. No, no, no, this can't be who I think it is. She thought, but of course it was.
"What are you doing here Potter? You're not Head Boy are you?" She questioned.
"Oh, no, he's coming, but I just wanted to talk to you." James said casually.
"If you're here to ask me out again Potter, I'm going to strangle you!" She said this and put her book down next to her.
"Errrm…I'd best be going, I think the Head Boy is coming." He rushed out the Head's compartment and went back to his own with his friends. A few minutes another person stopped at the Head compartment.
"And what do you want, Sirius? I'm not in the mood for marauderishness right now, James was already here." She looked up from her book.
"Oh, James sent me, he wanted me to ask you something…oh what was it…OH! Right he wants you to go out –"
"GET OUT! AND TELL HIM NO!" She pushed Sirius out of the compartment and dragged him by his ear back to the compartment with the marauders. "I think he belongs to you" she said, and shoved him in.
"That really hurt by the way" Sirius said, referring to his ear.
"Well if James wasn't such a prat I wouldn't have had to do that!" She put an escape piece of hair back behind her ear and walked off. She went to her friend's compartment to tell them what had just happened.
"Prats" they all said.
She started walking back to the Head's compartment and looked in at the marauders compartment just to make sure none of them was trying to annoy her again. She noticed that Remus was missing. She poked her head in.
"UGH! Where's Remus? Is he going to try and get me to go out with the big fat prat to my left?" She gestured to James.
"He just went to the Head's box, said something about having to pass out things to prefects or something" Sirius responded. James was glaring at her, and somehow Sirius had gotten an ice pack for his ear. Oh my God, it couldn't have hurt that bad, I wasn't even pulling that hard! … Prat. Lily thought. She was so caught up in thinking; she didn't realize what Sirius had just said.
"HE'S WHERE?" Lily beamed. She ran to the Head's compartment and looked in, and sure enough, Remus was sitting across from where Lily was earlier, and looking at the book that she had left there. He figured out who Head Girl was by pure thinking, and a few inventions from Zonko's to make him hear better of course.
"'ello Miss Evans" he said smiling. Lily smiled back.
"Head Boy eh?" she asked shyly. (You see, Remus and Lily had dated the previous year, but he broke up with her for some girl named Alison. Lily thought she still had feelings for Remus, but was soon to find out she was wrong)
"Uh, yeah, Head Girl?" She nodded. Why did Dumbledore do this? Didn't he know this would be awkward! She thought. (Lily thinks a lot…haven't you noticed?)
"Er, should we pass out the schedules to the Prefects?" Lily asked.
"Yeah" Remus replied, and opened the door of the compartment for Lily to walk out. After passing out schedules and changing into their robes, they just started chatting.
"So this will be an interesting year won't it?" Remus asked.
"Yeah" Lily replied, still a little shy around him. Gawd, stop liking him, he broke up with you for ALLI! Of all people that was the worst. Stop being a lovesick puppy. She told herself.
"You know James really likes you Lily" He smiled and looked at her.
"I know…" she looked down "it's quite annoying actually. He's been trying to get me to go out with him since basically 1st year. I don't know… he's just…" she trailed off.
"You like him too?"
"OF COURSE NOT! THAT IDIOTIC PRAT!" she was getting a little defensive.
"Ok, ok...sorry"
"No, its ok…it's just getting on my nerves. I know he likes me…but what if I like some one else? Or I just don't want to go out with him…"
"Got it"
The Hogwarts Express slowed to a halt. The first years went with McGonagall and the rest of the students filed into the Great Hall and took their seats. Flora sat next to Lily on her left side, Amelia to her right. Caitlyn sat across from them. A little ways down sat the marauders. Remus on James' left, Peter on his right. Sirius next to Remus. Once everyone was settled, Professor Dumbledore stood.
"SILLLEENNCCEEE!" The entire hall went silent and his voice softened. "The ceremony will now begin" The Great Hall's door's opened and in flooded the first years. They stood in front of stool with the sorting hat on it. One by one, their names were called and each student was sorted into the house that fit them the best.
Once every student was sorted, and seated, Dumbledore rose again. He gave his usual shpeal about the forbidden parts of the campus and what was expected of each student. He then went on to explain what house points and such were, so that the first years weren't clueless. His speech finally ended.
"Let the feast begin!" he rose his hands and magically, food appeared on the tables. Everyone dug in. Remus looked at Lily from the other end of the table, she didn't notice, but Flora did.
"Aw, that's sweet, he still likes you" she said.
"I know Potter likes me, that prat." Lily replied, taking a bite of pizza that had just appeared in front of her.
"No not Potter. Remus, he's looking at you"
Lily took a sip of Butterbeer. "So? A lot of people look at me"
"No, it's different, look" Lily looked at Remus, who immediately looked away. She shrugged and went back to her plate.
"It's probably a trick. I bet the marauders have it all planned out. Since they know that I still liked Remus over the summer, they think that they can get him to try and get me to like him again so that Potter can get me to go out with him or something" She pointed a finger at Flora.
"Don't point your finger at me!" She laughed and shook a finger at Lily.
"I don't know, I talked to him over the summer and he said he still really likes you Lily" Caitlyn said. She wasn't much of a talker, only with her friends, but she was a major gossiper. All three of them were.
"Gawd, what is it with you two? What if I just wanna be single for a bit? Hmmmm?" Neither of them answered. A moment later, Peter came up to her.
"Hey Evans, Potter wants to know if you would-"
"NO!" All three girls cut him off.
"Let me finish at least…geeze" he said.
"Fine, finish. But quickly please. I don't have time for this" Lily said, turning around to look at him.
"He wants to know if you would like to come sit with us for the rest of the feast…All of you, if you would like."
"Give us a minute" she said. He nodded and started to walk off. "No, No! Stay here."
The three girls huddled over the table and decided that if they were going to go, they would need a plan. They decided to, and had their plan in place.
The Plan:
Lily would be extra flirty with Remus and James although she didn't want to
Caitlyn would be flirty with Peter she wanted to do this, she had liked him and he had never noticed her
Flora would be flirty with Sirius she didn't mind it, but she would rather James, but they were sort of friends, and she wouldn't try to steal him away from him liking Lily.
Be flirty, but don't accept any date offers.
If one of them is being too forward, slap him in the face.
Don't be stupid.
Caitlyn saw Peter tapping his foot on the ground, waiting. James, Sirius and Remus were looking at him, as if to ask "well are they coming or not" he shot a look back that said "they're doing one of those huddles where they decide everything." The boys laughed and continued to wait for the girls.
"We'll go" The girls all said. And they stood up and walked to where the marauders were sitting.
Authors Note: Hehe, hope you liked it! Don't worry, not much will happen with Lily and Remus. And be patient my children, Lily and James will eventually get together…I don't know when…but they will.
