Why? Why me? That was all James Potter could ask himself on his final train ride to Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. Head boy?! I mean sure he got good grades, well amazing grades if he was being honest, but Head boy?! He was a marauder, a prankster, a trouble maker and he enjoyed it! This was his last year, the one where he was suppose to go mental, pranks non stop, and to just have a laugh. But now because of some title he had to look after first years and organize shite. Of course it was a honour to be given the title of head boy ( his mother had giddily informed him after he had received his letter) but he couldn't help think that Dumbledore might have been off his face on something at the moment the decision was made. Why on earth would anyone choose him for head boy!?
"Come on mate it wont be that bad!" Sirius voice snapped him out of his thoughts, and he turned to give him a secptible look.
"Well ok , you wont be able to do any of the pranks that we planned for this year because you will have to be all responsible and a ( he shuddered ) role model, but at least you can watch us do them!"
James sighed, and looked at Sirius, saying dryly " Thanks mate, thanks. You really know how to kick a bloke when he's down eh ?"
Sirius looked ready to retort when Remus butted in.
"Jamie, its not that bad, you will have a great time this year, and you get all the head boy privileges. Your own room, a common room to share with the head girl…."
James head snapped to Remus " You mean I'll be living with a girl ?!"
"Brilliant" Sirius shouted, " wonder who she is? Hope she's hot"
Remus rolled his eyes " why, your not living with her?"
"Yeah well I just want her to be good enough for Jamie poo to shag"
" You are an insensitive pig, you know that?"
James rested his head against the window once more, and blocked out Remus and Sirius bickering. If he was being honest there was only one girl at Hogwarts he would be interested in sharing living space with, and she barely spoke to, let alone shagged anyone. It was going to be a long year.
"James…………. Jamsie poo…..Prong?……….JAMES!" The shouting snapped him out of his day thoughts , and he turned to Sirius, annoyed.
"What?" he asked irritably.
"We are here".

Lily Evans sat how she always did on the Hogwarts express. Alone and quiet. This was how it had always been. It was nobody's fault. It was just the way it had to be, and nobody could change it. Lily Evans knew her place and purpose in the world, and she was not about to burden anyone else with it. It wouldn't be fair for her to make relationships because in the end everyone would get hurt. And she knew if she did care for anyone it would make her destiny harder for her to accept. So she stayed alone, cause that way it would be easy. As she sat in her quiet compartment a tear ran down her pale cheek. She was shocked to feel it. She had never once cried over her situation, only ever accepted it, and the part she had to play. But for some reason on her last journey to Hogwarts she could not help but feel more alone than ever, and wished that she could have a normal life. Wished she could be sitting with friends, joking and gossiping over pointless things, looking forward to the year ahead. She wished she didn't have the fate of the world on her shoulders, and for once, she could just be Lily. Because when it came down to it, that's all she is. Wiping the tears off her face, she breathed in deeply, and continued watching out the window, the world passing by quickly. She couldn't help but feel that it personified her situation perfectly.
