LILY POV

"GET UP FREAK!"

I groaned and woke up to Petunia's screeches for what seemed like the hundredth time these holidays. Never had I been so happy for September 1st to arrive; escaping Petunia, seeing my friends again AND being made head girl did that to you.

I studied myself in the mirror; my striking green eyes stared back at me. The smattering of freckles across my nose had become more obvious with the sun in the past holiday. My trunk was packed, as was my style, and my outfit was all ready to go. I sprinting down the stairs to give my mother a hug and peck on the cheek before starting on my pancakes.

Joanne Evans looked exactly like her younger daughter, but with blue eyes and graying hair from the stresses that came with her job and constant arguments of her daughters. Despite being a lawyer, she struggled to settle things diplomatically and had long given up on the two getting along.

"So why do I need to be up so early? It's only 9 o'clock."

"Because I'm getting dropped off at Vernon's before u go to freak school now hurry up and eat your breakfast.'

I rolled rolled eyes, not bothering to dignify that with an answer. Petunia knew as well as her that she could easily have slept until 10 and gotten away with it. Instead, I chose to eat, reflecting that I could at least plan the prefect meeting with the head boy while I waited for 11:00 to arrive.

Now in the car on the way to Vermin, sorry, Vernon's house, I returned to pondering the question that had plagued me ever since she had received her Hogwarts letter. Exactly who was the head boy? The letter had not told me, and I was bordering on desperate now. I'd originally thought it was Remus Lupin, my fellow Gryffindor prefect for the past 2 years, but after exchanging owls, knew it not so. Remus was part of a group of pranksters in my year that called themselves the Marauders. Remus had sandy blonde hair and blue eyes that made you feel special when he listened to you talk. Lily had always wondered how someone so studious ended up with the others. Petter Pettigrew was a short, plump boy, and honestly, quite a daft one. He seemed to have a special reverence for the remaining two members of the group. Sirius black had long black hair, with grey eyes, and one of the hottest guys at school. He probably had the record for the most girlfriends ever for someone at Hogwarts – and he hadn't even begun their seventh year. Finally, James Potter, the bane of my existence, the pig headed, arrogant git who unfortunately, had an obsession with me. It didn't help that he was captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team, also one of the hottest guys in the school and also had the second most amount of girlfriends in the school, just behind Sirius.

My brow crinkled as it always did when she thought of Potter, so I thought of the other prefects in my year – Matthew Smith from Hufflepuff who I had not bothered to get to know, Gordon Riley from Ravenclaw, who I was good friends with, and Nicholas Nott of Slytherin. I very much hoped it wasn't the last one, loath I had to share head dormitories with that buffoon.

Pulling into Kings Cross, I gave my parents a most heartfelt goodbye, and stepped through the barrier to Platform 9 and ¾. It had been 7 years since I'd first learnt of its existence and it still gave me feelings of Nostalgia. It was already 10:30 given the traffic, and the platform was already packed full of people. Having changed into my robes already, with the shiny Head Girl badge resting proudly on my chest, I smiled encouragingly to the younger students as I passed, when a high squeal caught my attention just as I was tackled from behind.

"Alice!" releasing a squeal equally as high and drawing many stares from people around them, I threw my arms around my best friend, Alice Prewett. Alice was short, with a pixie cut to her soft brown hair, and had hit it off with Lily in their first year. They made their way through the train to the compartment they had been in since the very first year.

"Lily! Alice!" Three squeals of delight met our ears and we were engulfed in hugs. Recovering and finally sitting down, I couldn't help but grin at the 3 other girls. Marlene McKinnon sat near the window. Her pretty, raven black hair fell beyond her shoulders in a casual wave. Widely regarded as the most beautiful girl at Hogwarts, she soaked up all the attention, especially as she was a beater on the Gryffindor Quidditch Team and had had too many boyfriends to count. Dorcas Meadows sat next to her, with her long blonde hair and was also clearly beautiful. The tallest of the group, she preferred to shy away from the spotlight, despite playing seeker on the Quidditch team. Finally, Mary Macdonald sat next to the door. She had curly brown hair and was significantly girlier than the rest of them.

"I should go to the prefects meeting."

The others all looked at me, Marlene and Dorcas with distinct smirks on their faces. "What is it?" I asked cautiously. "Nothing!" they responded, a little too quickly. Shaking my head, I left, with calls wishing good luck and suggestive innuendos about the head boy following my ears. Reaching the Prefect compartment, I realized no one was here yet, although it was still 15 minutes before the prefect meeting was due to start. Seating myself down, I took out the letter that came with the usual pieces of parchment.

Lily Evans, I am pleased to inform you that after due consideration, we have decided to make you the Head Girl for the upcoming school term…

The click of the door opening shook me from my reverie. I looked up, half expecting to see Remus, even though he had told me it wasn't him.

It wasn't Remus.

Nor was it Gordon Riley, or Matthew Smith.

It wasn't even Nott.

It was Potter.
