Disclamier:I do not own Harry Potter...If I did I would be rich, and Im not...
Lily Evans watched slowly as the Hogwarts express pulled in. 'This is my last year,' she thought. She savored the moment, as it was to be the last time that she would ever board the Hogwarts express. The entire image to her was so serene and peaceful.
"Hey! Evans!" James Potter's voice shattered the calm and tranquility. "Hey!" James Potter approached her along with his friends, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin.
"Hello Potter," she said coolly.
"Aren't you gonna board the train, Lily?" asked James, running his hand through his hair.
Lily cringed at the sound of her name being uttered from his lips. "I was just taking in the whole experience Potter." James looked slightly taken aback. Lily mentally slapped her self on the head. She hadn't meant for that to come out as rude as it did, but who could blame her, after all, this was James Potter, the boy who caused more trouble and hexed more people than anyone else she knew, well other than his best buddy, Sirius Black.
"I see you made Head Girl!" said James brightly, jerking his thumb at her badge that said very clearly "Head Girl".
"Well, yes…" Lily replied. This is good, she thought, maybe the new head boy will be nice and I can avoid spending so much time running into Potter in the common room…
"Yeah, and guess what!" Sirius smiled punching James playfully in the back. "Little James here made Head Boy…" Lily nearly doubled over. She looked at James.
"What?" she said out of pure shock. James produced his Head Boy badge from the pocket of his robes.
"Yeah, I made Head Boy!" said James, fingering his badge.
"Well, umm, that's very good… I think I better board the train now…" Lily trailed off into the distance.
"Hmm…I wonder what's wrong with her?" said James beginning to smile, slightly.
"Maybe it's the fact that she has to spend all that time with you, share the heads common room, and work with you almost 24/7 nearly every day." teased Sirius.
"No, that can't be it…" said James, mock thoughtfully
"Lets face it, spending that much time with you would drive any sane person mad!" said Sirius.
"I don't see you complaining living with me" said James.
"Ahh, yes but you see I was already mad to begin with!" said Sirius playfully.
"Yeah, more than you know," said James, "lets board the train, its leaving soon…"
By the time James, Sirius and Remus had entered the train, there where almost no compartments left. "I hope wormtail saved us a seat" said Sirius, eyeing the full compartments with dislike. Just as Sirius said this, Peter Pettigrew ran on to the train, panting.
"Hey! Guys!" Peter ran over to his fellow marauders. "I almost missed the train." Peter said, clutching his chest.
"So I take it you didn't save us a seat?" said Sirius, grimly. Remus, hearing this rolled his eyes and attempted to lead his friends to search vainly for a compartment. After 10 minutes of unsuccessful searching, (they obviously aren't very perseverant ) James came up with two solutions:
"We can either, A) find Snivellus and kick him out of his compartment, or B) find a couple of first years and curse them out of-" His sentence was interrupted by Lily Evans walking up to him. "Oh! Hi Lily!" said James.
"Our Head boy off to curse a few first years, what a wonderful example to set, really! Come on, professor McGonagall is waiting for us!" Lily said, looking annoyed.
"Oh! Crud!" said James, looking at his watch.
"You where so late I had to come find you…"said Lily "How did you become Head Boy anyway?"
"I dunno, I just kind of did." Said James, caught off guard.
"Now, before you address the perfects, I would like to lay down a few rules" said the strict professor. "I have noticed that you do not address each other by your first names. I request you do so, as it adds an air of friendliness that would set an example for the other students.Secondly, although you have your own common room and dormitories, your curfew remains the same. Thirdly, neither of you are to curse other students or play pranks on classes, as this does not portray the essence of being a Head. Fourthly, Mr. Potter, being a head, you will be required to stay awake while I speak to you." James was indeed asleep, his head back, and snoring rather loudly.
"Wake up you prat" said Lily knocking his head with a book as McGonagall left.
"Huh? Arrgh! I'm awake!" said James rubbing drool off his chin.
"Disgusting" Lily muttered as she walked past him. James followed her to the prefect's compartment. As he watched her give out passwords and instruct the prefects, he sighed. She did everything so well. A wisp of red hair escaped from the tight bun. James stared at it, a beautiful red strand, floating in the wind and being breathed upon by the glowing sun. "Pot-James! Snap out of it!" Lily smacked the side of his head.
"Hey you called me James!" He said smiling.
"That's because I have to, if you were listening to Professor McGonagall at all, then you would know that we have to call each other by their first names." James heard her words, transfixed on how her lips were moving in such a beautiful way… "Hey! Are you listening to me?" said Lily glaring.
"Umm, yeah, of course, Lily." James replied. 'Im going to have to stop day dreaming, or else I never be able to focus!'James thought to himself.
"Well good. It's time to go, the train stopped." Lily gestured to the door. James nodded and began to walk out through the door. "Unbelievable. Rude, obnoxious, and he doesn't listen." Lily muttered on her way out.
