"Lily!" I groaned as my mother called my name for the 7th time that morning.
"WHAT!" My voice rang down the stairs.
"WE'RE LEAVING IN AN HOUR!" She yelled back. I look at the clock, it was 9 a.m. Now I couldn't think for any sane reason why I would have to get up at 9 in the bloody morning...
"Holy shi-"I fell to the floor with a thump. Why didn't I remember that today was THE day! I was going home! My final, or shall I say my finale. It was my last year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and of course I was late.
I rushed a quick shower and let my hair down to dry. I applied a thin layer of make up and ran into my closet. "What to wear?" I asked myself aloud. I finally chose my favorite outfit. A black mini skirt with dark green halter-top. I swished my wand and all my clothes were packed, after all I could now use magic at home. I put my Hogwarts robe on and placed my new Head Girl badge on it and ran downstairs.
"Perfect timing slut, mom and dad were getting anxious." Petunia, my sister looked at me with loathing eyes. I flashed a sarcastic smile. "Thanks Pet!" I said patting her on her head. I heard her growl and smiled, mission accomplished.
"Lily!" My mom said as I walked into the kitchen.
"Yes mam." I said with a grin as I sat beside my dad. "How goes it Pop?" I said shoving him lightly. He grinned behind his paper.
"Coffee's ready flower, and please pull that shirt down." His eyes never left the paper and the words came out of his mouth. My mouth dropped in return as I pulled down my shirt to cover my stomach.
"He always knows." My mom laughed as I just shook my head. "Uh oh, come on Lily darling, we must go. Daniel put down that paper. Lily grab a muffin and out you go." She said patting my bottom and causing my to run into the door.
"Bloody he-"I paused as my mom glared. "Helium. Bloody helium Mum, watch it!" I ran out. My father laughing as my mother scolded me from behind.
After the half-hour ride to the train station, I paused before passing through the barrier to the Hogwarts' Express. I turned to my parents and rolled my eyes. 'Why are they so bloody emotional?' My mom wiped a tear.
"Oh my little Lily! Enjoy your last year, have some fun! Write every day." She said all this through quiet sobs and while suffocating me into her shoulder. My dad pried us apart.
"Calm down Anna, she'll be home in a few months." My dad gave me a tight hug and kissed the top of my hug. "Do try and keep the dogs away." He said.
"Dogs? Now I'm sure you don't have to worry about them." I turned to see Sirius Black winking at me and shaking my dad's hand. "Good to see you again Mr. Evans, and Mrs. Evans." He said bowing his head slightly.
"Sirius! How are you darling?" My mom pulled him into a hug. They met my third year, at the train station, and have met there every year since.
"Just fine Miss, and don't worry about little flower here, I have my eye on her." Sirius said putting his arm around me. I grinned and my dad's eyes scolded. I said goodbye and passed through the barrier.
"Sirius you dog!" I said pulling him into a hug.
"Quite literally." I turned to see a grinning Remus. I jumped on him as he held me in a tight hug. "Hello Lily." He said as I kissed his cheek.
"I didn't get a kiss!" Sirius said pouting. I laughed slightly rolling my eyes.
"Good, we don't want you flaunting that around for the whole day." I turned to see none other than James Potter walking towards us. My face contorted into a sour expression, no doubt Potter noticed.
"Still hating me I see, all the same Evans." He patted my shoulder and shoved Remus and Sirius aside. They were talking amongst themselves as I sat perplexed. No pick up line, no kiss, no touching ... I came to the conclusion that James Potter was ill and set off to look for Mandi and Marla.
"No need to search babe, we're here!" Mandi spun me around and I squealed. I pulled them into a tight hug and we were all dancing in circles chanting, "Last year, last year, la la la la la la."
"Dear God, we're too late Remus!" We stopped all grinning to see Sirius on his knees.
"Why!? Why did they have to change?" Sirius was yelling at the top of his lungs, that caused many students stopped to look at him. Marla kicked him and he fell over.
"Hello chump." She said sitting in his lap and hugging him close. Mandi soon followed Marla in a hugging walk. "So! Shall we find a compartment?" Remus asked as the rest nodded.
"Actually," I started, really not wanting to leave my friends. "I have to go to the front of the train." I pointed to my badge and the girls screamed.
"You hussy! You didn't tell us!" Mandi said hugging me. I just shrugged. "Didn't seem to fit into our song very well," I grinned.
"Well I guess that means I'll follow you Evans." James said behind me.
"Um, no. Potter you can go polish your broom or something." I said with a cold tone.
"Lily darling, he did that a sec ago, after seeing you –oopmh!-"James elbowed Sirius in the stomach as the group laughed.
"I'm Head Boy Evans." James said pointing to his badge, looking quite sad even.
"Oh hell no-"James held up a hand to stop me. "I know, I'm just a bullying prick that doesn't deserve to grace your presence, or even be alive. But I have to Lily so deal with it." I was astonished as he walked away and even more... by the fact it was the first time he had ever said my name.
I found the Head's compartment with no trouble at all. The room was spectacular. It was decorated in red and gold, obviously for the Gryffindor House colors. There were two huge couches and a table with satin chair surrounding it.
"Wow." I said simply sitting at the table, looking at a note that was placed there.
Dear Mr. Potter and Miss Evans,
I would first like to congratulate you on your appointed positions. And I request that you do not kill each other before arriving at school.
I stopped and laughed out loud.
Please inform the prefects that they are to patrol the halls during the train ride, and please report to me after the opening sorting and feast. Congratulations again.
Sincerely,
Professor Dumbledore
I turned to see James in the corner. I scowled. "What?" I asked in an annoyed voice.
"Can you stop being a bitch for two minutes while we prepare for the prefect's meeting?" He asked looking me straight in the eye. I gasped totally appalled..
"Me!? You're asking me to not be a bitch? Holy hell Potter you've just the world's BIGGEST PRAT for the past 7 years! SO yes, by all means let me bow down at your feet your highness!" I was heaving deeply. James just simply stared at me. I couldn't believe what he had just said, and even more, that I saw a flicker of pain in his eyes.
"Whatever Lily, please just help me with this so I can find Padfoot." I rolled my eyes.
"You guys and your stupid nicknames." I said sitting and making notes. I grinned slightly though. I heard him sigh.
"You know what? You can do this. I'll stand there, mouth closed and let you do it all ok?" He asked me sitting down.
"Oh no no no!" I said, almost a little too loud. "You are NOT going to leave me with all the work, I don't know why Dumbledore even gave you that badge. Lord knows you don't deserve it." I saw James flinch slightly as his mouth formed a think line.
"Whatever Lily." He said getting up and walking out. I rolled my eyes and looked at notes.
"Holy shit, that's twice now." I said to myself.
"Twice what babe?" Mandi said walking into the room. I laughed.
"You'll get caught." I simply said smiling. She sat beside me. "Since when have I cared?" She asked me grinning. I looked thoughtful, "Never?" "Righto!" She told me slapping my hand.
"So, twice what?" She asked me again and I shook my head. "Nothing.' I said. That's all I needed, Mandi giving me love advice on one of her friends. After all, she and James are pretty close.
"What's wrong with Potter?" I asked her, spitting his name out like it was poison.
"Well, JAMES," she glared at me, "seems to have had an identity crisis over the summer." I was dumbfounded.
"What?" I asked simply not understanding. She sighed.
"Sirius says he's been weird ever since he got his Head Boy letter. Apparently he didn't want to work with you or something." Mandi told me shrugging slightly.
"Good." I said, "I don't want to have baby-sit Potter the whole damn year either!"
Ok! So that's another chapter! I hope you kids enjoyed it! PLEASE REVIEW!!!
