I was sitting with Erin, talking in disbelief at how we had both been made prefects. We were both abnormally excited and were looking to have an awesome year. I had just finished my supper when Professor Flitwick came over to me and asked me to lead the first year Ravenclaw's to our common room. I agreed and stood up calling the first years over, and we left the great hall. We ended up passing the first year Gryffindor's on the way to the common room being lead by none other then James Potter himself. I was remotely surprised that he had been made a prefect after all those pranks he pulled, but then again, I had been made a prefect as well. I grinned at the thought. In front of me I saw James stop and look at me.
"Hi, so you're a prefect too. Congratulations." He said with a smile on his face.

"Yep. Same to you."

"Thanks." With that we both went our separate ways, leading the way to our alternate common rooms. I had no sooner gotten the first years to the common room and through the portrait hole (the password was "stardust") when the rest of the Ravenclaw house burst in behind us. I quickly directed the boys and girls to their respective dorms and sunk down into one of the plush blue couches. No sooner had I sat down than Erin burst through the portrait hole and pounced on me.

"What was that?"

"What was what?" I asked, not having any clue what she was talking about.

"You. Talking to James Potter. In the entrance hall."

"That was us exchanging congratulations on becoming prefects."

"Uh huh. Just admit it Lily, you like him." Excuse me? Since when did I like James Potter?

"Umm. No, I don't really think I do like him."

"Yes you do. Lily, you're in love with him."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"Nope, sorry."

"But you are."

"I'm not!"

"Yes you are, you're in love with him!" I was getting really fed up with all the pestering so finally I said in a loud sarcastic voice for the whole common room to hear.

"Yes! You're right! I am head over heals in love with James Potter!" Well it kind of worked, I now had Erin laughing so hard she was in danger of falling out of her chair, I grinned and then I heard the voice form behind me.

"Well, well, well, this definitely interesting." I knew that voice. I turned around to see another good friend of mine, Kalle, grinning at me like an idiot. I did not like that look.

"I wonder what would happen if James Potter was suddenly aware of you're feelings for him."

"You wouldn't." I said, as a smile played on my lips, knowing full well that he would tell him. "You don't even know James Potter."

"Yes I do. He's in my Care of Magical Creatures class." He grinned wickedly at me. I rolled my eyes.

"Fine tell him. Tell him whatever you want to."

"Ok then, I will." He walked away, hardly able to contain his laughter.

Erin looked at me, grinning, and said,

"Come on, we should get to bed." I nodded and followed her up the staircase to our dorm, where I collapsed on the bed and finally started to laugh my head off at the amusement of the situation.

I was walking down the hall with Remus on our way to… well… no where really. We had a free class and were looking forward to roaming the halls for absolutely no reason. I suddenly heard a voice behind me that sounded strangely familiar.

"James! Hey James! Wait up." I turned around and saw this guy from my Care of Magical Creatures class last year running towards me, his name was Kalle.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked as he skidded to a halt in front of me. He grinned, this truly wicked grin that I would have been proud to be able to duplicate and said,

"Well, you know who Lily Evans is right?" I nodded, wondering what on earth Kalle had to tell me about Lily Evans. His grin grew wider.

"Well, it's just that, I overheard her in the common room last night, announcing in a rather loud voice that…" I was afraid his face might split in two from how much he was grinning, "she's in love with you." Oh. That had been the last thing that I was expecting to hear! Did I even hear that right? Did he actually say that- My thought s were interrupted as a voice came floating down the hall towards us.

"Kalle! Kalle, what the HELL are you doing?" Kalle spun around and saw none other the Lily Evans herself, making her way towards us along with a girl who had short brown hair, and blue eyes. I looked at Kalle and saw that he had paled visibly at the sight of Lily. This was funny. Hmmm, I should remember this. Kalle mumbled something that sounded like 'goodbye' and practically fled in the opposite direction. I turned my direction back to Lily and her friend who by now were right in front of us. She surprised me by saying aloud.

"The Loser! Did he actually just do that?" She seemed to be talking more to herself then anybody else.

"Umm, yes Lil, I believe he did." The girl with brown hair commented looking more then a little amused.

"Damn." I looked at Lily, she looked angry, but you could see amusement dancing around in her brilliant green eyes. She rolled her eyes at me before speaking.
"Ok, I'm going to be incredibly blunt and ask you. Did Kalle just by any chance tell you that I was in love with you?" She looked like she was about to burst out laughing.

"Umm, yes, yes he did. Something wrong with that?" I asked innocently. Beside me Remus snorted, trying not to laugh.

"Dammit! I'm going to kill him! Damn! Sorry, I guess I owe you an explanation. Well, actually, it's really all Erin's fault." She said turning on the girl beside her.

"My fault? How is this my fault? I'm not the one who went around pronouncing my love for James Potter in front of the whole common room!"

"You know I only said that to shut you up!" This was apparently too much for Erin, and for Remus who both burst out laughing. Lily rolled her eyes again before speaking.

"Erin here, saw us talking yesterday in the entrance hall. Remember?" I nodded, unsure of where this was going. "Well she burst into the common room demanding to know what it was we were talking about. As I'm sure you remember we had a perfectly innocent conversation." I nodded again and she continued, her eyes sparkling. "She then came up with the most ridiculous accusation. Apparently I liked you." She rolled her eyes again. "I told her what a stupid accusation that was, and she proceeded to tell me again. This continued for several minutes until she finally proclaimed 'Lily why don't you just admit it, you're in love with him!' By now I was fed up with all these comments and said in a highly sarcastic voice for the whole common room to hear:' Yes! You're right! I am head over heals in love with James Potter!' Kalle hearing the last part of our conversation, took it upon himself to tell you. Which brings us back to today." She finished with a grin and shot a look toward s Erin and Remus who by now were both laughing so hard they were leaning onto each other for support. She waited calmly until they regained their composure, and then Erin said,

"Right, now Lily, we really should be going considering all we have to plan." She accented this with a wink at Lily who nodded and waved goodbye to us. They were only a few steps away when Lily called out,

"Hey James, you're coming to the prefect meeting tonight right?"

"Yeah, when is it?"

"8:30 in the transfiguration room."

"Ok, see you then." She smiled at me and turned around linked her arm through Erin's and walked off. I started wondering exactly what it was they had to plan.

I waited until we were a few steps away from James and Remus before saying calmly to Erin,

"So how do you think we should kill him?" She grinned and pointed to the library. I nodded and before we danced through the door, we heard Remus and James explode into laughter. I grinned at Erin as we sat down at a table near the door, and began plotting several different ways to kill and torture Kalle, each more inventive then the last. Erin was explaining something to me about disembowelment when a relatively good looking boy our age with black hair burst through the door of the library, and looked around wildly until his gaze landed on us. We exchanged confused looks and I was particularly surprised when he sat down beside me and gave me a huge hug. I guess my shock clearly showed on my face because he grinned and introduced himself.

"Sirius Black at you're service." Erin's mouth flew open in shock; the look on her face was priceless! I turned my attention back to Sirius, and noticed James and Remus appear in the Library, spot us, come over and sit down. I figured it was my turn to say something.

"Umm, nice to meet you? Any particular reason you just hugged me?" I asked, amusement clearly noticeable in my voice. I saw Remus and James grin out of the corner of my eye, and turned my attention to them. "Oh, so I guess you told him?" I said grinning. They nodded and Sirius hugged me again.

"I just wish I could have been there to see the look on James' face. Was it funny?" He asked eagerly. I nodded and unable to contain it anymore, burst out laughing. Soon all five of us were in fits of laughter and receiving evil looks from Madame Pince, the Librarian. We calmed down and Erin, with that mischievous look still evident on her face asked me,

"So what do you think Lil, personally I vote for turning Kalle's hair purple." I grinned at the image, and added"Sounds good, but what do you think about charming his robes so that they're invisible to everyone, except him of course?" I saw the grin on Erin's face grow wider, but she shook her head."Naw, that's too evil. He would never speak to us again.""True." I suddenly noticed that James, Remus and Sirius were staring at us with identical looks of shock on their faces. "What?" I asked completely bewildered at what had provoked such expressions. James recovered first,"Sorry, I guess we just didn't realize."
"Realize what?""That you, you pulled pranks on people.""Oh." Was my reply, it was all I could manage because I had started smirking, and Erin was trying, unsuccessfully, to contain her laughter. I saw Sirius open his mouth, about to ask the unavoidable question, so I quickly cut him off by saying, "Oh, we should get to class, don't want to be late, it's the first day after all." And with that I quickly packed up my bag and left the library with Erin close behind me.
