A/N-I don't own Harry Potter or its characters. Wish I did but I don't. Review and enjoy!
I hate Alice. I hate her I hate her I hate her. How could she do this to me! Me! Lily her supposed best friend! Wait i'm getting ahead of my self, sorry. Hi I'm Lily Even, I'm seventeen and I attend Hogwarts School for witch craft and wizardry. And you guessed it I'm a witch. Ok it all started at the beginning of seventh year. Everything was wonderful! Petunia was going to marry vernin dursly [that's not the wonderful part] and move far far away from me and my 'freak' powers [that's the wonderful part]. I was head girl, I got excellent grades on my exams, and I would have my own common room and office all to my self with only having to share them with the head boy. I've been very curios who it would be, maybe Johnny Owen the raven claw prefect, or maybe Lenny Smith the hufflepuff quiddich caption and prefect. Or maybe even Remus. I actually like Remus he's very nice and a good worker and prefect, that is unless his friends are there! Those idiots black and Potter always being rude, trouble making prats! But any ways the year started out great with me boarding the Hogwarts express for the last time as a student going to Hogwarts School of witch craft and wizardry.
On the train
After lugging my trunk and my brand new owl Rose [a birthday present from mum and dad] on to the train I went in search of my two best friends Alice McMillan and Kimera Sanders. I found Alice in a compartment with her steady boyfriend for two years Frank Longbottom. I joined them, and a few minutes before 11:00 Kimera jumped on to the train, she's never on time, and joined us. Alice has curly honey blond hair, a sweet round face and she was short at about 5/4. Kimera was the essence of beauty, tall, tan, and curvy, with waist length wavy brown hair and eye lashes longer than most countries that framed eyes that never stay one color and always change. After the usual summer talk and catching up Frank left to go talk to some friends. The second he was out of the compartment and the door shut we all shouted out "I've got big news!" after giggling for a few minutes Kimera said "Let Lily say hers first before she explodes from anticipation" After shooting her a glare I opened my mouth to start but before I could get a word out the compartment door opened.
It was Remus and behind him, yep you guessed it, were James potter Sirius black and Peter Pettigrew. "Hello Remus" I said while completely ignoring the others. Remus chuckled at my immaturity "Lily the prefects are meeting in five minutes and we need our head girl" "How did you know, I haven't told any one yet!" "yes but who else would it be?" "Fair enough are you head boy?" "Err noo but" "But what? Is it Lenny?" "No" "is it Jonny?"" No" "oh god is it a slytherin!" "No! No uhh lily its well it's uhh" Suddenly Sirius pushed past him and plopped down right next to Alice who cringed away from him and said "Damn Remus grow some balls and tell her already!" Remus blushed and I shot Black a glare "Alright, Lily its its James " there was a moment of shocked silence before a shouted "WHAT!" filled the air, but it wasn't from me it was from Kimera who looked shocked and wide eyed, Alice did not look much better. Me? I just sat their in disbelief starring at the shiny head boy badge gleaming innocently on Potters chest. Suddenly there was laughter and we all looked at Sirius who was about falling off his chair in mirth. I Looked at Remus with wide pleading eyes hoping, praying it was not true" Remus "I gasped. "please please please tell me this be a prank. Please say that this is one of their idiotic pranks." I felt like crying when he gave me an apologetic smile that clearly said it wasn't. "Ahh what's wrong Evens I thought you liked Jamesy!" said a smirking Black. "Shut up Siri-poo" I snarled, that wiped the smirk off his face; he hated that name after Amilia Jones started calling him that when they dated in fifth year. "Now if you excuses me I have a prefects meeting to attend to." With that I strode out of the compartment.
The meeting went well enough, with all the prefects just as surprised as I was at James new head boyship. What really surprised me was how polite he was, he even blew off the slytherins insults and jeering. He was even polite and nice to me! It was unnerving. After the meeting I went back to my compartment and found Alice and Kimera. "So how was it?" asked Kimera. "It was… okay" I said "But I mean James as head boy! Who would have thought!" I sat down shaking my head as though that would get rid of the thought "Please lets not talk about it." "Okay. So on to big news! Lily's was that she was head girl no surprise their, Alice what's yours?" "We the girls of the seventh year dormitory are going to play a year long game of truth or dare! It'll be a contest with a big prize at the end of the year for who ever wins!" Alice was bouncing by the time she finished talking. Kimera grinned showing all of her even brilliantly white teeth then said "Brilliant I love truth or dare!" I was not a big fan of the game but I loved it when Alice looked this happy so I murmured my consent as well. "All right Kimmy, what's your big news." Asked an elated Alice. Kimera blushed a deep scarlet and I leaned forward in interest. Kimera never blushes. "Umm well okay, now don't freak out because it's no big deal, its probably temporary, and just for fun, you know just a fling and" "Kimmy shut up and spill!" I said my interest highly peaked. She took a deep breath and said "okay. I'm I'm dating Sirius Black!" "YOU WHAT!" Alice shrieked. I just sat there shaking my head and grinning like an idiot. "What part of 'its no big deal' don't you understand!" Asked a now grinning Kimera. "Okay spill!" sang out a now officially elated Alice. Kimera and Black have played a teasing game of tag through out the years and are always flirting, they were voted couple of the year without being a couple! The rest of the train ride was filled with giggling and truth or dare ideas.
At one point of the ride Sirius came in and we made an excuses to get Kimera out of the compartment. "Okay Black were going to make this nice and simple." Started Alice. We stood in front of the exit with identical scowls and are arms folded across our chests. I stated in a calm yet threatening voice "While dating Kimera you will not cheat on her with out pain of death, you will not use her with out pain of death, you will not hurt her with out pain of death and you will not take her for granted or treat her anything less than a princess with out pain of a slow, long, public death do we make our selves clear?" He looked torn between fear and amusement "Crystal" he stated calmly. "Good, just warning you against public castration " I said in a tone to match his own. Kimera walked in right after I finished talking took one look at the situation and sighed, looking at Black she said "Did they threaten you with public castration, public nude dancing , or a public nude marriage with the giant squid?" Sirius grinned widely and laughed "Marriage with the giant squid, you guys are more dangerous than I thought!" With that he stood up kissed Kimera's cheek and brushed past us into the hallway, but before he went he said"Ohh and Evens, I know your dying to see me naked". The trip off the train and into the horse-less carriages was uneventful and familiar. Past the gates topped with winged boars and to the front of the castle. Past the entree hall through the double doors and into the great hall. I'm home I thought peacefully. After we were all seated Professor McGonagall entered with the new first years who looked all pale and nervous and a worn hat and a three legged stool. I thought fondly back to my own sorting, was it really only seven years ago? I was snapped out of my thoughts by McGonagall calling up the first student Alverez, Samuel. A blond, pale and nervous boy walked forward and put on the hat. A hole widened in the brim and shouted out "HUFFLEPUFF!" Samuel Alverez emerged from the hat and grinning wildly scurried over to the table filled with cheering hufflepuffs. The sorting continued until the last ring of "RAVENCLAW" left the room. Dumbledore stood in robes of midnight blue and said "There are many times for long,winded, wonderful, time consuming speeches, and now is not one of them. Tuck in!" He sat down and the golden plates filled with all of the delicious food made by the house elves. Talk and laughter filled the hall and we all stuffed our selves full. After the last traces of treacle tart faced from the plates Dumbledore made to stand up but before he could a voice rang out across the hall. "Excuses me, but may I have your attention." Every one looked up at a pale mousy looking boy who was standing on the benches of the Gryffindor table looking terrified, it was Peter Pettigrew. This could not be good. "I'm afraid my good friend Sirius here" He gestured to a grumpy looking Sirius "has lost a bet here with my other dear friend James and so now he must sing a song written by our very own Remus Lupin." At this Remus blushed and looked down at the table. "So now I give you Sirius Black singing the new Hogwarts anthem!" He sat down looking quit proud, only to be replaced by Sirius Who for the first time since I've known him was scowling. "Before I begin I would first like to point out that i'm doing this against my will and that if you would like to attend my three friends funerals you are welcome to. Also this song is dedicated to a special girl in my life whose initials' are K.S. you know who you are." At this Kimera looked like she would die if this continued and alot of girls looked excited and and some even sighed . "Now to your entrainment pleasure"
Then he bellowed out

As the last ringing notes faded the hall were filled with clapping and laughter. I was leaning against Alice with tears streaming down my face as I laughed and Kimera was on the floor practically choking on her laughter. Sirius grinned and said a bit hoarsely "Thank you you have been a wonderful audience now if you excuses I must commit a murder or two or three" With that the other three boys jumped up and ran out of the great hall still laughing and were closely followed by Sirius who was screaming POTTER, LUPIN, PETTIGREW GET BACK HERE!" More laughter filled the hall, but as a smiling Dumbledore stood the halls finally quieted. "Well after that unexpected treat we must get back to business, first years please note that the forbidden forest is forbidden! Also there is a detailed list of items that are banned on Mr. Filches door on the third floor. I'm also sad to say that after that unfortunate incident involving the cauldron and tweezers that Mr. Zip has quit as defense against the dark arts teacher and his role will now by taken miss Joanna Rays." Scattered applause filled the hall along with a few snickers about the Mr. Zip incident. Some one had enchanted a cauldron to fallow him and sing in a shrill soprano voice "ZIPPITY DOO DAA ZIPPITY ZAA MY OHH MY WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!" when ever any one said the words carrot, potions, what, hippogriff, or Snape. They also enchanted a pair of tweezers to pluck various facial hair such as his mustache, ear hair, nose hair or his eyebrows. Every one, including me, made his life hell, we all hated him! Dumbledore finished his speech and right as every one was getting up to leave, Sirius Remus, James and Peter all came sprinting in to the hall all laughing. James hair was purple and Remus was a florid pink, while Peter was covered in boils . There sudden arrival brought on a fresh batch of laugher. Professor McGonagall's stern voice rang out across the hall "Mr. Potter, Ms. Evens please accompany me to my office."
We followed her past the talking and laughing crowd and up the stairs towered her office. Once inside she settled a stern gaze on us. "Now i'm very proud to have two Gryffindors as heads and I will not tolerate any foolishness that may disgrace the name of your house, I expect you to act cooperatively and push aside any old rivalries. You two are partners now and so see to it you act as partners not bickering first years." she then proceeded to tell us our duties and the patrol schedule then she let us leave. Once out side potter pulled my aside and said "I know we have our differences but lets try to work together at least in public. Deal?" at this he stuck out his hand as though to shake mine. I pondered the idea then gave his hand a firm shake. "Deal" I said with a nod. We made our way up to Gryffindor tower in silence. We parted with a curt nod and a murmured goodbye then we went to our separate stair cases. I had not fully walked in before I was ambushed by a girl clad in pajamas with a black pixie cut hair style. "Hello Paisley" "Hi Lily!" Paisley Short is a short pretty girl with wide brown doe eyes and an innocent face that's always smiling we call her the pixie because on the rare times she gets mad she gets mad!. "Hello Denim" "Lily" was the short reply. Denim Brown was as rich and snobby as you could get, she's the school gossip queen and head bitch, and before you ask, yes Denim is her actual name. Her mother moved here from the U.S. were she was a famous fashion designer from California. She acted as though her presence was a gift to those around her, a trait she passed onto her daughter. Denim is tall, spray tanned, bleached blond and yet still popular among the male student body. Alice arranged us all in a circle and said in chipper all to cheerful voice " Okay! Lets set some rules first! Lily can you right them down please!" She passed me a quill and some parchment. "Great! Now rule one: dares can not harm the person doing them or harm people affected by the dare. Rule two: try to avoid a dare resulting in punishment. Rule three: Every Saturday night is strip Truth or dare! Rule four: No telling anyone about the game. And rule five: HAVE FUN!" I gave Alice a disbelieving look "Strip truth or dare! Alice we change in front of each other every day!" Alice giggled and said "I know but this adds to the fun!" I shake my head laughing. "Alright let the games begin!" Alice trilled.
A/N- I love that song! I have it memerized and my friends and I sing it all the time. Love you all! Review!
