Disclaimer: sadly, I own nothing.

The students filed into the Great Hall looking around. As usual, it left them in awe. Lily, Candi, and Trixi sat down together on one side of the bench. To Lily's great displeasure, the Marauders (Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, James Potter, and Peter Pettigrew- Peter had blonde hair, blue eyes and for some reason or another always reminded people of a rat) sat down across from them.

The sorting went by uneventfully. James and Sirius were eyeing the first years wearily. "I swear we were not THAT small when we were 1st years…." Sirius muttered to James.

"I know! They get smaller every year!" James replied grinning. James looked up and saw Lily looking at them shaking her head, yet smiling.

"I think that every year too." She whispered to the boys.

The two boys grinned. James was about to say something, but Dumbledore stood up and James looked at him.

"Tuck in."

Cheers erupted within the halls as everyone began eating the delicious food.

Lily was engaged in a conversation with her good friend and dorm mate Alice Whitman. Alice had spent the summer with her boyfriend Frank Longbottom, who was coincidentally a dorm mate to the Marauders.

Candi and Trixi were arguing about Trixi's hair. Candi was saying that she needed to grow it out, and Trixi was saying that it was fine just the way it was.

The Marauders were planning some prank that they were planning on pulling on the Slytherins. Even though Lily knew that they were planing a prank she didn't tell them off. It was their last year here; they deserve to have some fun, right?

Before they knew it, Dumbledore was standing up and all the food had disappeared. "Welcome 1st years, and to everyone else, welcome back! A couple of things that you should know: The Forbidden Forest is indeed forbidden. A couple elder students should remember that as well", Dumbledore looked over to where the Marauders were sitting. Sirius stood up and bowed. This earned laughter from all the students, shaking heads from teachers, and forty confused first years. After Sirius had sat down, Dumbledore continued. "Also, Mr. Filch asked me to remind you that as of now, anything from Zonko's is banned. There is a list of banned items outside Mr. Filch's door. Now, off to bed!"

There was a scraping of benches and everyone filed out of the hall. James saw Lily looking around for the 5th year prefects, making sure that they were doing their job. (A/N: I just realized that I didn't have a prefects meeting in the last chapter. Sorry!) When she saw that they were she went back to her conversation with her friends. James couldn't help but smile. He was going to win her this year. It was his last year; something good had to come of it…

Lily and James said bye to their friends, the two of them were going to stay in the Head's Dorms.

"Good luck, mate." Sirius said to James.

"Yeah, make sure you're still alive tomorrow, ok?" Remus agreed.

"Thanks for the support." James replied sarcastically.

James and Lily went to a tower that was near the Gryffindor tower. They stopped in front of a portrait of a girl picking flowers in a meadow. The girl smiled at them. "Are you this years Heads?" she asked.

"Yeah, that's us!" James said happily.

"Well, I'm Lana. You have to set a password and them I can let you in." She said.

"You pick." Lily told James.

"Really?" She nodded. "Ok, Snivellus." James stated grinning.

"NO." Lily replied sharply.

"Fine, Snivellus is an ass?" he tried hopefully.

Lily laughed. OH MERLIN I MADE LILY LAUGH! James thought happily. I made her laugh, I made her laugh, I made her laugh.

"Alright. It is a good password…" Lily trailed off into silence. I just let Potter make the password Snivellus is an ass. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME? THIS IS NOT NORMAL! Lily thought.

"Well then, 'Snivellus is an ass' it is." Lana confirmed smiling, yet again. Lana swung open and they climbed in.

"WICKED!" James exclaimed.

"Yeah." Lily agreed speechless.

They had entered the Head's Common Room. Everything was red and gold. There was a large couch, a medium couch, and two small one sitter couches. All of them had red and gold pillows. In the middle of the sitting area, was a round oak table with a vase of white lilies in the middle. The was a large fireplace against the wall behind the table. The walls were red with glittery gold trim. On the other side of the common room were two staircases. One with a sign on top saying Head Girl and the other saying Head Boy. They both went up their own staircase in awe.

The Head Boy dorm room was incredible. It seemed to James that it was built especially for him. There was a king sized four poster bed, with lots of pillows, all red and gold. There was a broom holder with his brand new Cleansweep Two, the latest racing broom. There was a closet filled with his clothes, there was a desk on which his school stuff was laid out, neatly organized. There was a shelf next to the bed where his owl, Midnight- a pitch black owl, was resting with her owl treats. The floor was a dark red carpet, and the walls a pale gold.

Across the hall there was a door marked Bathroom. James practically ran across the hall in his haste. When he opened the door all he could do was stare. The bathtub was huge. There was a toilet and a sink off to the side. There were towels embroidered with JP. The floor was a gold-ish marble, and the walls a dark red.

Lily, who was on the other side of the tower, was stunned. The Head Girl dorm was incredible. There was a king sized four poster bed, with tons of pillows. One side of her room was filled with books. Her make-up was set out on her dressing table just waiting to be used. Her school stuff was set up very neatly on her desk. All her clothes in her closet. Her walls were a pale gold and her floors a dark red carpet. Lily was so absorbed in staring at her room she didn't notice that James had come up behind her.

"So this is what your room looks like. Have you looked at your bathroom yet?" James asked Lily grinning.

Lily just looked at him, unable to move or speak. James laughed as he steered her to her bathroom. Lily's bathroom was similar to James' except the towels were marked with LE instead of JP, and there was an assortment of scents, bubbles, and girly stuff.

"What about yours Potter? You've seen mine, I want to see yours." Lily demanded, finally regaining use of her voice. James showed Lily his room, Bid her goodnight and watched as she went to her dorm, knowing that a certain red-head would occupy his dreams.
