As the Hogwarts Express rattled around me I whined, "it's going to be so weird not having you live in the same dorm as us." I pushed my impossible wavy black hair out of my face, "it's not fair."

Lily rolled her eyes, "I think you will be fine."

"Come on Charlie, Lily worked really hard and totally deserves head girl. We should be proud of her," Clementine said reasonably. "The head dorm is attached to the common room. She won't be that far away."

I glared at Clementine, "but it's our last year together and we will not be living together."

Clementine shook her head swishing her short blond hair around, "you're ridiculous. You act like we won't even be friends after Hogwa-"

The door to our compartment abruptly opened and we looked over to find James Potter casually leaning in the doorframe looking smug, "afternoon ladies."

"What do you want Potter?" Lily spat at him.

"Lily be nice," I said putting one hand on her arm reassuringly.

"Charlie just because you are friends with him and his band of idiots doesn't mean I need to be."

"Yes, well you might want to start trying to be my friend," James said grinning.

"And why would I need to do that?"

"Maybe because I'm head boy," he said as Lily's mouth dropped open.

I tightened my grip on Lily's arm as I felt her beginning to rise out of her seat, "congratulations James. How did the boys take the news that you would be moving out?"

"They are actually pretty excited to hangout in the head dorm with me," James said as his grin deepened.

With this comment I couldn't hold Lily down by just holding her arm. She popped out of her seat, "they will be doing nothing of the sort!"

James laughed, "don't worry Evans we will still get enough one on one time."

"In your dreams," Lily shouted turning a bright red colour. I couldn't tell if her change in colour was from anger or if she was blushing.

Clementine stood up and and cautiously said, "Lils, he's just trying to work you up."

Lily turned to look at her, then sighed and sat down. James appeared to be bored now that Lily had calmed down about the situation. "Well ladies it has been fun. See you later Evans," just before leaving he turned and looked at me, "Oh Charlie, Sirius says hello."

"You can tell Sirius to say hello himself," I said rolling my eyes. James did not reply he just sauntered off.

I ran my fingers through my long hair grumbling, "I love him to bits but I just don't get him sometimes."

"Sirius?" Clementine asked wrinkling her forehead.

I could feel my face beginning to warm but I shook my head quickly, "James. He's like a child picking on his playground crush. Does he actually think that winding Lils up that way is going to get her to like him?"

"He doesn't actually like me," Lily said hitting her hand to her forehead. "He only does that because I am the only girl in school who doesn't give him the time of day."

Clementine shrugged and cautiously said, "I don't know about that Lils." She could see Lily starting to get upset so she decided to change the subject, " are we going to talk about Sirius?"

"There's nothing to talk about," I said firmly. Sirius and I had been friends for almost as long as I had been friends with Lily and Clementine. Before last summer I began dating a guy, by the name of Josh. Sirius lost it when he saw us kissing in the common room, we had no spoken ever since then.

Clementine shrugged, clearly frustrated with steering through the minefield of conversations. "Okay, how are things with Josh?"

"They are pretty good," I said shortly while examining a chip in the nailpolish on one of my nails.

"Come on spill," Lily pushed me.

"I don't know. I went to visit him for a week and it was just weird. Something felt off. Maybe it was because I hadn't seen him in awhile," I admitted to them. "We will be fine."
