CHAPTER 2.

Please read and review. Hope you like it.

As the boys were getting off the train James spotted Lily walking with Margaret and Marlene. He quickly made his way through the crowd of people surrounding them, all trying to make their way to a carriage or boat. Remus, Peter and Sirius soon followed him.

"OI! EVANS!! Over here" James shouted

Lily, refusing to budge by the sight of Potter was begging her friends in hushed tones to please hide her.

"Oh, but we wouldn't want that now would we?" Marlene cackled.

"Why not!? Come on, please? Why?" Lily responded desperately.

"We wouldn't want to miss the fun!" exclaimed Marlene.

As Lily was about to make her retort, Potter, Sirius, Remus and Peter all stumbled into her. Marlene standing at Lily's side was shoved right into Margaret, who, for support, grabbed Remus shirt, resulting in him tripping Sirius. Soon they were all lying on the floor, some laughing, and some glaring.

"Way to make an entrance" snorted Sirius in James ear, before Lily interrupted them.

"WHAT do you think you're doing, Potter?" she spat, glaring furiously.

"Oh… well..uhm, you see…"

James was getting desperate and did the only thing he could thing of and hesitantly showed her his head boy badge. Lily froze, looking completely gob smacked. The tension was reaching a new level, seeing as none of Lily's friends really liked the Marauders (with the exception of Remus, who they considered to be alright), when James' girlfriend decided this would be a great moment to make her entrée, and promptly plopped right down in James' lap. Lily (who had come back to reality when James girlfriend entered the scene), Margaret and Marlene used the diversion to flee the scene, leaving James and his friends with a really angry blond.

"What were you doing with HER? You told me you were over her when we started dating 1..2..3..4, 4 weeks ago" she spat, looking strained from all the counting.

Sirius snickered. "You haven't broken up with her YET Prongs? You told me you'd do it ages ago"

Remus, deciding his friend had taken the joke a little too far, considering James girlfriend was standing right beside him, listening to everything Sirius said, promptly kicked him in the shin. Then turned to Peter expectantly who was standing with a vacant expression drooling (obviously thinking about the feast he would soon enjoy), hoping he would have the nerve to punish Sirius as well. However at Remus discovery of Peters drawling he gave that hope up pretty quickly. Meanwhile Sirius was jumping up and down on one foot, while James was trying to soothe his girlfriend, who was in hysterics.

"MOONY… THAT REALLY HURT" Sirius screamed, still jumping around on one foot.

"Well, you deserved it"

"WHY? What did I do?" Sirius asked, his blond side kicking in.

"You just broke up with Prongs' girlfriend for him, you dolt!" Remus exclaimed

"Oh... right"

"Susie… It's okay. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, can we be friends?" James stuttered… wincing slightly.

Susie, who was hitting him furiously, while tears were running down her blue eyes, and screaming at him for embarrassing her (like she didn't do that by herself with her reaction), did not respond.


"I can't BELIEVE he got head boy" Lily exclaimed while getting inside one of the carriages.

"Neither can I, I guess we'll be spending more time with the marauders, and Remus, and stuff this year" said, Margaret trying (and failing) to keep a smile from coming to her lips.

"What are you smiling at?" wondered Marlene

"Oh, I don't know, it'll be an interesting year that's all" Margaret replied, looking more and

"You're right" Marlene responded, resigned.

"It always is, but this year won't just be interesting, it'll be TORTURE! He'll follow my every step AND he'll have an excuse to do so. I can't believe Dumbledore let this happen" Lily rambled.

"Calm down, you're giving me a headache" Marlene interrupted, glaring.

"But..but..Argghh! He completely ruined this year"

"How can he ruin a year that hasn't even begun?" teased Margaret

"Oh you wait and see, he will" said Lily, stomping away towards the entrance to the castle.

Once the girls had entered the castle Lily was met by the Head of Gryffindor and Transfiguration teacher, Minerva McGonagall. She beckoned Lily away, and Lily hurriedly said goodbye to her friends before leaving with the Professor.


"Thank goodness, we finally managed to shake her off"

"Sirius, don't be rude… although, she was getting quite annoying"

"Pheuu.. I thought she'd never leave, we practically had to run away from her"

"James, that's your girlfriend you're talking about"

"EX-girlfriend, thank you very much."

"Your welcome" Sirius snickered.

"Your sense of humor astonishes me" Remus replied

"REALLY? You think it's THAT good?" Sirius asked in glee, his blonder side kicking in once again.

"Oh, it wasn't a compliment, believe me."

"Fine, be that way"

"Hey, look! Why is McGonagall waving at me?" Peter wondered, deciding to join the conversation.

"Wormtail, she's obviously not waving at you, I mean, I'm the good one looking of us" Sirius cockily replied.

"Actually, she's waving James over" Remus pointed out.

"Oh no! What have I done NOW?"

"I figure she just wants to talk to you about head boy business. Look, Lily's there too" Remus replied.

"Lily's there? LATER GUYS!!"

With that, James sprinted over. Trying hard to conceal his excitement, and to some extent actually succeeding, seeing as Lily wasn't looking at him anyways.


"You and the prefects are to patrol the halls everyday. I will leave the dividing of the task up to you two, do not disappoint me" McGonagall said, in her usual stern voice "You will also escort the first years to their dormitories and hold a Prefect meeting every other week, more often if needed. After the feast, when you have escorted the 1st years, and kept them in line, you shall meet here in my office, and I will show you your new Head boy and Girl dormitory"

"Excuse me, Professor McGonagall, did you just say that we are to be assigned new dormitories, together?" Lily inquired, the fear in her voice obvious.

"Why, yes. You will share a common room, and have one bedroom each"

"Oh" was the only reply Lily could think of.

"Is there anything you would like to know, mister Potter?" inquired McGonagall.

"No professor."

"Then you both are dismissed, I hope you enjoy the feast."

Both Head Boy and Head Girl departed, soon to join their friends at the feast they all loved so much. James, hoping he wouldn't have to watch Wormtail eat (or Padfoot for that matter). Lily, still pondering on how the hell Potter became Head boy, and looking forward to the feast.
