Lily's POV
"So who was it?"
"How did it go?"
"Do you like being head girl?"
My friends bombarded me with questions the second I walked into the compartment. They were all obviously anxious to know what happened but I would've appreciated it if I were allowed to breathe.
"Wait, wait," I told them putting my hands up. "It was horrible. It's Potter. Potter is the new head boy."
The three of them answered at the same time.
"Oh my god!" Mary and Diana exclaimed in unison but they were drowned out by Ellie saying, "At least he's charming."
"What?" I asked Ellie. "James Potter is not charming. He is an obnoxious idiot! And now I might spend all day and all night with him!" I wailed.
"Because we'll share the Heads Dorms now," I explained, shaking my head and my face warming up (slightly) when the others wiggled their eyebrows.
When the train arrived, we all headed out moving towards the carriages.
"First Years! This way!" a voice called in the distance.
As the four of us boarded a cabin I caught a glimpse of Potter and the marauders. Potter seemed to have a big smile on his face. Probably boasting to the others about his position and being his usual obnoxious self.
"Alice!" Mary called as we shuffled into the Great Hall taking our seats on the Gryffindor table. Alice Traw(I didnt know Alice's maiden name so I made this up) sat across from us hand in hand with her boyfriend Frank Longbottom. I don't know what Frank's waiting for, he should propose already; everyone knows they'll end up together.
I scanned the crowd after the feast to make sure the prefects were doing their job. Suddenly an owl dropped a letter onto me. It was addressed by Dumbledore. It read: Miss Evans, Please come to my office after the feast so that I can show you to your new quarters. PS. I like Lemon Swirls.
I walked over to the entrance of Dumbledore's office where I saw Potter waiting helplessly.
"Lily!" he exclaimed. He calmed down then said, " I was- I was just waiting for you so that you could um. So that um we could go together! So Dumbledore wont have to repeat himself."
"You don't know the password," I stated.
"Well he didnt tell me! All he said was that he like Lemon Swirls!"
"That's the password!" then to the gargoyle I said, "Lemon Swirls."
The statue spun revealing a set of growing stairs. Potter jumped on and so did I. I tapped on Professor Dumbledore's door and walked in.
"You sent us letters, sir?" I asked politely.
"Yes, yes. Please sit," he replied gesturing towards the chairs. Once we were seated he continued, "I mentioned that you were to move into the heads dorms. Don't worry your luggage has been moved there. It's located right by the Gryffindor tower. Continue going up the stairs instead of stopping. The Password is: ostium apertum (a/n latin for open door) You may leave now."
We nodded and left heading towards the new dorms.
