-Simple Plan (Addicted)

Ch. 1: And the Saga Begins

Lily entered the bustling train station. Her amber hair glowed under the bright halogen lights. She glanced around, looking for her best friend, Ashton White. She felt a tiny nip on the back of her neck and turned to see Derrick Rolt, AKA, her perfect boyfriend.

"Hi!" she exclaimed, giving him a kiss. Derrick was the Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain. At 6'1 with light brown hair, and dark blue eyes, Lily thought he was very handsome. Lily and Derrick had been dating since halfway through their sixth year.

"Congratulations!" he said as soon as they broke away from the kiss. Lily had recently gotten a letter from Hogwarts telling her she was the new Head Girl, and she had immediately told anyone and everyone who would listen.

"Thanks" Lily said, smiling widely.

"So I guess this means you'll be spending even less time with us this year," said a voice behind her. Lily turned around and saw none other than Ashton. Her best friend had shoulder-length dirty-blonde hair and dark brown eyes.

"Hey, Ash!" Lily exclaimed, giving her friend a big hug.

"Hi!" Ashton replied. "Congrats on The Head Girl position!"

"Speaking of Head Girl, I have to go do my duties."

"Oh, come on Lily! Make the prefects patrol, I mean, you are Head Girl," Ashton said.

"Sorry, but I really can't!" Lily said. "I'll see you guys at dinner though." She gave Derrick a quick peck on the cheek, leaving for the compartment she was to meet the prefects in.

She walked in to find what looked like a large black porcupine poking up over the top of seat.

"What are you doing in here, Potter?" Lily sighed. A handsome face popped out from behind the seat, revealing that it was not a porcupine she was seeing, but a head of black hair. He stood up, putting down his copy of Quidditch Weekly (Is the need for speed actually a bad thing?, and An interview with the World Cup Champions, Portugal!), and smiled at Lily.

The same thing you are, my dear Lily!"

Lily gaped at him. "You're Head Boy?!" she asked incredulously.

"Yup! Aren't you excited?!" he asked, putting his arm around her. "Just think, we're gonna have sooo much fun! We're gonna share a dorm, and make smores, and tell scary ghost stories, and maybe, if you get really lucky, I'll let you wear my special fuzzy bunny slippers!"

"Oh God help me,"she muttered as the prefects began to enter the carriage.

After they had given the orders to the prefects, they began their patrol.

"So, are you still seeing that Daren guy?" James asked, checking a compartment full of first years. He winked at the giggling girls and closed the door.

Lily rolled her eyes and replied; "His name is Derrick, and yes, I'm still seeing him."

"Oh dear, that really does put a damper on my plans…" he said with a frown.

"What plans?" asked Lily, curious.

"My plans to shag you while we're roomies," James replied. Lily raised her hand to slap him. "I was only playing!" James exclaimed, throwing his hands up defensively. Lily gave him a look that could kill and checked the next compartment.

After an extremely long and annoying patrol, Lily plopped down on a seat and began ripping apart a pumpkin pastry, stuffing random pieces in to her mouth.

"Wow, you eat almost as quickly as me!" James noted as Lily licked the icing off of her fingers.

"Eating is about the only thing that keeps me from killing you."

"I love you too, Lily-kins," James replied cheerfully. He stood up and stretched. "Now what?"

"Well, I'm pretty sure we're supposed to make another round, then-"

"Hold on a minute," interrupted James. "Don't we get a break?"

Lily cocked an eyebrow and looked at James. "What do you call that thing we just had?"

"No, I mean a break from each other. I have plans."

"I suppose your snogging some girl in closet,"

"Actually, you're very close-"

"Ok, I really don't want to hear about this," Lily said, glancing at her watch. "It's 2:00 now, you had better be back by 3:30."

Lily walked into the last compartment and slammed the door. She slouched into a seat and muttered "Wake me at 3:25."

"James bothering you?" asked Ashton.

"Yeah can you believe he's Head B- wait a second, you knew?!" Lily said.

"Um, about that-" Ashton began.

"I'm going to kill you Ash!" Lily exclaimed.

"Think of it this way Lily, it wouldn't have helped anyways! If I had told you, you would have spent the whole summer being mad because you had to spend the year with Potter!"

"That's true," Lily replied with a sigh.

"Was it really that bad anyways?" questioned Ashton.

"Hmm, let me think… Me, stuck with Potter for hours on end. Sounds like fun." Lily replied sarcastically.

"Right, I'll wake you up at 3:25."

At 4:26 the door to the compartment slid open and James walked in, a fresh dark red mark on his neck and a wolfish smile on his face. Lily began immediately.

"I say 3:30, you walk in at 4:26! I swear Potter, you listen like a Centaur during an eclipse! Do you realize that if Dumbledore finds out about this we could be deprived of our positions? And yes, that would mean no more assigning detentions to Snape for you! You are an irresponsible ratfink, James Potter!"

"Listen Lily, I'm really sorry, I just completely lost track of time! And then I couldn't get Cindy Jones off of me! I swear! Scouts Honor!" James explained as Lily glowered at him. "It won't do us any good just standing here, anyways. Let's go."

After a thorough inspection of the train Lily went to ask the conductor how much further Hogwarts was.

"Only another half an hour. We better tell everybody."

Lily stepped off the train and looked up at the castle. It was illuminated by the moon and its many bright windows shone against the dark background of it's walls. She turned around and saw James talking to a pretty 5th year. He whispered something into her ear and Lily saw her blush and giggle. She felt a stab of annoyance go through her heart. Oh how that Potter got on her nerves. Even his presence in classes brought her to the point of despair. How was she supposed to share a room with him?

James looked up and saw Lily staring at him. He said goodbye to the girl, gave her one last wink, and walked towards Lily. "Don't worry babe, there's enough of this to go around."

Lily laughed and replied "In your dreams Potter." She began shooing a group of Second Years towards the carriages.

A deep booming voice resounded throughout the station. "Firs' years this way!"

"Hey, Hagrid!" James said, directing his attention towards a very large man with long scruffy black hair.

"Ello there James!" Hagrid replied. "Boy am I glad to see you! The cabbages keep turning into Muggle garden gnomes and McGonnagall has been too busy to come and fix them. I was hopin' you could come down and do a bit of transfiguration on 'em for me."

"Of course."

"And there's Miss Evans. Congratulations to the both of ye."

Lily beamed and said "Thank you," before getting into a carriage with Ashton and Derrick.

"How did your patrols with Evans go?" Sirius asked James as he entered the carriage.

"Could've been worse, I suppose. She only threatened to slap me once."

"You're making progress," Remus said.

"I like to think so."

"You'll conquer her yet, my friend!" Sirius said while patting James on the back.

"Did Potter drive you as nuts as you look, or are you just doing that for show?" questioned Ashton, pointing towards Lily's foot, which was tapping a hundred times a minute.

"Oh no, it was great fun," Lily said sarcastically.

"I'm sorry Honey," Derrick said while trying to nuzzle Lily's neck.

Lily pushed him away and said "What does it matter to you? And where were you during the train ride, anyways?"

"I was with my friends. I can't hang out with your friends all the time. No offense Ashton."

"None taken," Aston said.

Lily sighed and replied, "I'm sorry, I had no right to get mad at you. I'm frustrated about Potter and I took it out on you guys."

"No problem," said Ashton. "I'm used to it."

Lily smiled and jumped across the carriage, tackling her friend.

Lily and Ashton sat down at the Gryffindor table. James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter entered the Great Hall. Ashton sighed and gazed at Sirius wistfully. She had had a crush on him for as long as Lily could remember.

"I swear I don't see why you don't just ask him out," Lily said.

Ashton snapped out of her daze and said "Duh, because he would say no."

"You never know," Lily replied.

James looked at Lily and walked towards her. "Oh no," Lily groaned as he sat down opposite her, soon followed by his friends. Ashton smiled bashfully but Lily scowled.

"Hello Lilers!" Sirius exclaimed.

"We decided to join you," James said.

Lily was just about to comment on this when the First Years began to enter the hall. She stared ahead and tried her best to ignore James.

Following a long and painful dinner, and after Lily and James had told all the Gryffindors their new password (puffapod), they each said goodnight to their separate groups of friends and began heading to their dorm.

"Where is it again, Lily?" asked James.

"It's supposed to be on a different hall," Lily answered as the walked out of the Portrait whole. "Through a picture of a Devils Snare."

"Oh yeah," James said.

They walked down the hall and came to a corner. "I think we go to the left," said Lily.

"No, I think it's to the right," James said.

"I am the one that remembered what the portrait looked like; I think I trust my judgment over yours." Lily replied.

James followed her, but they soon found themselves at a dead end. They went back and took James' directions.

"Ha! I told you." James said as they came upon the portrait.

"How did you know? I mean, you didn't even remember what it looked like," Lily said.

"I know every corner of this castle Lily. All you have to do is tell me what you're looking for."

Lily looked at him curiously and said "Fizzing Whizbies." The portrait swung open and they entered it.

Lily gasped. It was like their new dorm was an apartment. There were two armchairs and a table set up in front of a fire, as well as a large bookcase against the wall. They walked further inside to find three doors; two bedrooms with a connecting bathroom. The sinks were marble and the beds were filled with down.

"This is wonderful," Lily said, passing her hands over copies of books such as Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them, and Transfiguration for Dummies.

James nodded his head and yawned. "I'm going to bed. Want to join me?"

"Yeah I'll be there in a minute."

"Good, I'll go ahead and get undressed."

"I didn't mean it like that, Potter!"

James chuckled and said "I know, I was only joking."

"Yeah I should hope so."

They both went to the bathroom to brush their teeth.

"What?" asked Lily as James stared at her, white foam dripping down his chin. "You look like you've got rabies when you do that."

"How long are you going to brush your teeth for?"

"Two minutes. That's how long you're supposed to."

James gaped at her, increasing the amount of toothpaste dripping down his chin.

Lily rinsed out her mouth and said "That really does make you look scary."

James swished water in his mouth and Lily pulled out her floss.

"God, you floss too?"

"Yup!"

James shook his head and said "You really are obsessed with dental hygiene."

Lily changed and walked back into the bathroom to get her hairbrush. James was standing in front of the mirror and checking his teeth in nothing more than his boxers.

"Good Lord, Potter, put some clothes on!" Lily said while shielding her eyes.

"What? This is what I sleep in."

"I don't care what you sleep in, put on a robe or something!"

"Oh come on Evans, it's not that bad! Pretend like I'm wearing swimming trunks or something."

"I would rather not see you in swimming trunks either!" Lily said, but reluctantly pulled her hand away from her eyes.

"I knew you could do it." James said with a smile. Lily glared at him and grabbed her hair brush. She ran it through her hair, pausing to rip at the tangles. James winced and asked "Doesn't that hurt?"

Lily shrugged her shoulders and continued brushing. When she was done she said "Goodnight, Potter" and walked into her room. James followed her example and went into his own room.

They both turned out their lights and the room became quiet. Lily was just beginning to fall asleep when she jumped.

"Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall, ninety-nine bottles of beer! Take one down pass it around, ninety-"

"POTTER!" she exclaimed.

"What?"

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Singing."

"Yes, I know that, but why?"

"That's how I fall asleep."

"Oh God help me," she mumbled. She then said "Could you do it a little quieter please?"

James sighed loudly and said "I suppose."

"Thank you. Goodnight."

"Goodnight," James said, and resumed his singing, now in a quieter tone.

Lily sighed and turned on to her side, gazing out the window. This really was going to be a rather long year.
