This was it. My first day as Head Girl. Head Girl! I had been counting down the days to today since I first got my letter in the mail from Hogwarts informing me of my new position at the school. I was freakin' Head Girl!
It was unusually cold for September 1st, but I didn't really mind. All I could think about was as soon as I boarded the Hogwarts Express for the last time, my duties as Head Girl started. Eep!
Wow, I thought.This is actually my last year at Hogwarts. I honestly had been so wrapped up in the excitement of my position that it hadn't really sunk in that this was my seventh, and final, year at my favorite place in the world.
I threw the rest of my things in my trunk, then looked around my room one last time. Sure, I'd be back here eventually, but after I finished my seventh year, I was going to go on to Auror Training.. then start a life of my own in the real world. It was all bittersweet, really, I was excited to grow up, yet scared shitless at the same time.
"LILY! Let's go! You cannot be late for the train!" I heard my mum yell from downstairs.
"Coming!" I screamed back, as I grabbed my cat off of my bed. "We're going to have a great time this year, Iz. I can just feel it." Her only response was a little purr, and a quick nip of my finger. Typical.
I ran down the stairs and out to the car, throwing my luggage into the backseat. This was it. This was really it.
I scanned the train for an empty compartment, just wanting to relax before I had to go the the Prefect meeting. Considering I am Head Girl, I'm actually supposed to be in charge of that meeting, along with Head Boy.
Wait a minute. Who was Head Boy? I was sure it would be Remus, but he never mentioned it in any of his letters from over the summer. Remus Lupin was a good friend of mine, the only one of the "Marauders" that I actually could stand. He got good marks and was a Prefect alongside me. He had to be Head Boy, he just had to.
After eating a chocolate frog and changing into my robes (I was a tad early, I know), I made my way down to the Prefect cart to get ready for the first meeting of the school year. On my way there, I had the misfortune of running into the most annoying person I had ever met.
"What are you doing back here Potter? There's a meeting for the Head Boy and Girl right now... leave," I spat. God, I hated Potter.
"You don't think I know that, Lily dear? Being Head Boy and all, I'm kind of supposed to be here," he said with a wink.
"You know, after six years of winking at me with rejection, you'd think you'd stop after awhile. You are such an ign- wait. Head Boy?! YOU?! Potter, get out of here. You're so immature. You and I both know Remus is Head Boy."
"Ahh, Evans. That's where you're wrong," he said, and while smirking that stupid smirk of his, he pulled out a freakin' Head Boy badge, and pinned it to his shirt. I looked from his face to the badge several times, and then I fainted.
"Evans, get up! Wake up!" Ugh. I hated that voice. "Come on Lily, seriously, get up! You're scaring me!" Good. Be scared. I don't care. Now leave me alone Potter. "Remus! Remus, help me! She won't wake up!" Remus was here? Thank goodness, somebody normal. I considered opening my eyes and letting the boys know I wasn't actually still unconscious, but I kind of liked hearing James panic. It was funny. "Sirius! Get somebody! My goodness Lily, wake up!" All of a sudden, somebody slapped me in the face.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU POTTER? YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST HIT A GIRL?! YOU WONDER WHY I BLOODY HATE YOU SO MUCH!" I screamed. I looked at my surroundings, and realized Potter, Remus, and Sirius were not alone. My best friend, Adriana, was standing over me.
"Shut up you idiot, I'm the one who hit you. Now get up! You're starting to scare us," Adriana said. She stuck out her hand and helped me off the ground. The five of us walked into a compartment, and sat down. I glared at Potter from across the tiny room.
"Jeeze, Lily. I just saved your life and all I get in thanks is that dirty look? Really? That's how you treat your knight in shining armor?" Potter said, doing that stupid smirk thing again. That's it. I've had it.
Before anybody could stop me, I had lunged from my seat and jumped onto Potter. Pulling his stupid messy hair with one hand and beating him with the other, I started screaming at him.
"You," slap. "Are," slap. "NOT," slap. "My," slap. "Knight," slap. "In," slap. "Shiny," slap. "Freakin'," slap. "Armor!" slap. "I," slap. "HATE YOU!" I would have slapped him again, but Adriana and Remus had pulled me off of him and were holding me back against my will. I started to claw at their arms, but they weren't letting go anytime soon. Stupid friends.
"Bloody hell, Lily. If you wanted to get on top of me that bad, all you had to do was ask," the newly beaten half to death Potter said, with a smirk and a wink.
