-James' POV-

I get into my room and flop on my bed. Merlin, this is going to be hard. Lily is a tough nut to crack. I mean seriously. Ever since 4th year I have been trying to show how that I'm not so 'arrogant' and 'pig headed' and all the other things I've been called by her over the years. But of course, she's fixated on this idea of me being an immature little brat. Can't she see how much I've changed? I'm bloody Head Boy for a reason. I wish she would just give me a chance.

I change out of my robes into some long pajama pants and no shirt, because I really can't be bothered unpacking right now. I get into my new comfy bed and stare up at the ceiling. I wonder if she's thinking about me right now, like I'm thinking of her. Which is obviously a stupid question. Of course she isn't. She despises me. I toss and turn for a few hours trying to get her out of my head. When I finally fall asleep, she's still there. I can't even escape from her in my dreams.

I wake up to the sun shining on my face. I look to my clock and see that its 8:30am. I need a shower. I walk down stairs and o to open the door but it's locked. I sigh. Lily must be in there already. I knock lightly on the door.

"Just one second," she calls.

"One..." I say smiling at my own joke.

I hear her sigh and head over to the door. She opens it and her eyes are staring straight forward. I realise now, that I'm still shirtless, standing in front of Lily. I smirk at her as she avoids eye contact and walks past me. My natural instincts are to say 'Like what you see Evans?' But I know she'll get annoyed at that, so instead I say,"Morning"

"Good Morning," she says, pulling her bag over her shoulder.

"Are you going down for breakfast?" I ask.

"Yeah, aren't you?" she says with a confused look.

"Nah, I'm heading down to the quidditch pitch, can you tell Sirius where I am, if you see him?" I say smiling as is saying 'pleaseeeeeeeeee.'

"Yeah okay, if I see him," she replies to my surprise. I was expecting her to tell me to bugger off, or to tell him myself.

"Thankyou," I say.

"No worries," she says, heading out the portrait hole.

After my quick fly at the quidditch pitch, I head to the Gryffindor common room to see Sirius and the boys, because I missed sharing a dorm with them. I walk in to see them in their usual positions. Remus is reading on his bed, Sirius is practising some weird spell to test on the slytherins and Peter is eating a box of bertie bots and a few chocolate frogs. When I walk in Sirius smiles at me.

"Hey mate! How's the new dorm?" he says, jumping up from his bed and giving me a brotherly hug.

"Yeah it's great, I just wish you guys were there with me,"

"And how's Evans?" Sirius asks. Remus and Peter both stop what they're doing and look at me.

"Hmmm, alright I guess... I'll deal with her. No progress yet really, but she's a little more civil towards me?" I say mumbling the last few words.

"She'll come round Prongs, you'll see," Remus said with a smile.

"Yeah, she'll realise what she's missing out on soon enough James," Peter adds.

"Anyway, did you guys want to come see the dorm? Maybe play a few games of exploding snap or something?" I asked.

"Yeah, come on guys! I wanna go see James' room," Sirius said with a nod towards the door.

"I'm up for it? How bout you Pete?" Remus says.

"I'm not really feeling well after those sweets, I'll come by another time," Peter said sighing and lying back on his bed.

"Alright, see you later Pete," Sirius calls, heading out the door.

The boys and I are playing a game of exploding snap when Lily comes in with her best friend Marlene McKinnon.

"Hey Guys," Marlene says politely, as Lily comes up behind her with a confused look.

"I thought you were at the pitch, Potter?" she sounded a little annoyed.

"I just went there for a quick fly, and then I invited the boys up here?" I answered.

"Alright, whatever... Marlene and I are going to my room," she says heading up her stair case.

"Lily, don't be rude, come spend some time with your room mate and his friends," Marlene said sitting down next to Sirius.

Lily rolled her eyes and mumbled a small 'fine'.

"So James what are your plans for the quidditch season this year?" Marlene asked taking interest immediately. She was a chaser with me last year for our team, and a bloody good one at that. She could maybe even give me a run for my money.

"Well obviously, it being our last year I'm planning a win for the cup, but I hope we have a replacement seeker seeing as ours left last year," I said with a slight frown.

"Yeah, hopefully we can grab the cup for the third time in a row. When are try outs?" she asked.

"Probably in two weeks time, you're trying out again right?" I asked hopefully.

"Yeah of course! I wouldn't miss out on my last year here," she said with a smile,"What about you Sirius, you going for beater again?"

"Definitely," He said evilly smiling at me.

"Can we change the subject, sure I love watching quidditch but this is getting boring," Lily complains.

"I agree with Lily," Remus says sitting back in his chair.

"Alright, well... whens the first Hogsmeade trip Prongs? You and Evans are heads now, so you should know," Sirius asks.

"Well, we haven't had a meeting with Dumbledore about the events this year, but I'll let you know as soon as I know," I reply.

"Why so eager Sirius? Got a date already lined up have you?" Marlene asks.

"Nah, not yet at least. I just need to go to Honeydukes, I haven't had a sugerquill in forever," he said smiling patting his stomach. Everyone let out a small laugh at Sirius' gesture, and we continued talking about different things that were happening this year.

Later in the evening Marlene had just left, when Lily came straight up to my room.

"Potter, can I have a word," she sounded annoyed.

"Yeah Evans," I said opening the door.

"Can you let me know next time you're going to have people here, I was hoping to sit by the fire with Marlene alone, but all your friends were here," she said folding her arms.

"Ugh, yeah sure... I'll tell you next time," I said, not seeing what the big deal was.

She heard the confusion in my voice and her posture softened a little,"Sorry, I just wasn't expecting anyone to be here and I wanted to have a long talk to Marlene," she said.

"About what?" I asked, curiously.

Her expression went a little hard, but it relaxed a little. At least she was trying to get along with me,"Just about things here at Hogwarts... nothing big," she said.

"Alright, alright... well we are heads together, so you know you can always talk to me about things," I said.

"Yeah whatever Potter, good night," she laughed and walked back to her dorm.

"Night," I called down the staircase. She turned around and smiled slightly at me.

Our first day back, and no one got hexed? Thats a start, right?

Thanks for reading! Another chapter will be up soon! I promise!
