I do not own Harry Potter. Only Amanda Blinkhorn.

' Why hello Evans, I'm head boy.'

' POTTER, what sort of trick is this, you better get out now before I give you detention!' I screamed at him.

'But Lily I'm really head boy, look,' he said as he handed my over the red badge. What has Dumbledore done? I know he's eccentric, maybe a little crazy but WHAT HAS HE DONE? Has he forgotten the last six years? The years that James Potter led the Marauders, that pranked everyone, even bully my once upon a time best friend, Severus? He's gone mad. He's gone crazy. He's gone absolutely bonkers.

'Lily just calm down,' James told me but how could I calm down, Potter was head boy.

'Potter, I … emm…' I don't know what to say. I think he's telling the truth. 'Fine,' I huffed as I took my seat at the top of the table.

Slowly the room filled up with the new prefects and some of the old ones.

' Remus, it's good to see you,' I said to Remus, as I hugged him. We had always been friends of a kind, we went on prefect duties together but hadn't really talked apart from then. You probably guessed why, those stupid Marauders.

'I'm good Lily, how was your summer?' he asked politely.

'Same old, same old, you?'

'Good, I stayed at James' for a while.'

'Talking about James, is he really head boy?' I asked, hoping that he would say it was just some prank.

'I'm afraid so,' he laughed. I don't find this particularly funny. 'Lily it looks like you need to go now,' Remus said as he looked around the room, that I hadn't realised was full.

' Thanks'. I walked up to the front and asked everyone to take a seat. 'Hello everyone, I'm Lily Evans and I'm head girl. This is James Potter, he is this years head boy,' I said as I pointed to Potter. 'Today we're just going to take any questions, when you ask a question please say your name so everybody can get to know each other,' I asked them politely but most of them were staring at James. I've just realised, we have some fan girls … joy! A fifth year from hufflepuff raised her hand.

' Yes?'

'Hi, I'm Amanda Blinkhorn, I would like to ask James, how he was made head boy, not that I'm complaining,' she said as she winked at James.

'Wouldn't you like to know,' he replied flirting with her. Great, I'm stuck with this arrogant … person for one year. The room laughed at the flirting that was taking place between Potter and Amanda. Remus raised his hand,

' Lily, when will we find out her schedules for night watches?' Remus is so kind, he obviously realised that I was in no mood for Potter right now.

' That's a good question Remus, I will post a timetable in the Prefects bathroom,' I said automatically. Ever since I found out I was head girl, I have been organising everything.

'The Prefects bathroom, that's a strange place for schedules,' a boy from slytherin said cruelly. Is it really?

'Well…'

'No, I think it's a good place, where else would we all see it?' Potter said. I looked at him incredulously. Why had he said it? He usually would be the one pointing it out, just to annoy me.

'Right, I think that's us finished here,' I said as I opened the door for the prefects.

Once again Potter and I were left in the room. I was about to leave but Potter called me back.

' Lily, can we please have a word?'

' Yes, I guess so,' I replied suspiciously.

'Since we're going to be working together for the next year, I thought we better be a little more civil towards each other,' he said. I think he's trying to be nice.

'I'm not saying that we should become beffers,' I shuddered at the word, 'just on a first-name basis. After all we have to set an example to the school,' he said exasperatedly. It was obvious that he had planned this but he's right. What chance do we have of house friendships, when the head boy and girl from the same house don't even talk nicely to one another?

'All right but if you step one toe over line, first names will be the least of your worries,' I replied smirking.

'Fine by me,' he said, extending his hand to me. I shook it firmly; I don't want to appear weak. I headed towards the door but before I left I turned round and said,

'Thanks by the way … James.'

That's chapter 2. Review, please.
