SECOND CHAPTER:
LIFE AS A HEAD BOY AND GIRL---7th YEAR.
"YO PRONGS! PLEASE TELL ME IT'S NOT TRUE! PLEASE!" Sirius Black exclaimed at James Potter, an experated expression spread on his face. He looked down at the small piece of parchment that had just arrived along with a "Head Boy" badge for James and then back at the face of his stunned friend.
"Hey Moony, my friend, please, look at this lying piece of paper, please tell me it is forged or whatever, just tell me that what it contains is a figment of my imagination or somethin', I beg of you---HEY! Stop laughing! It's not funny!"
"Calm down Padfoot, I'm sure it's not all that dramatic as you're making it sound….here show me---WHOA." Remus Lupin came to a halt and gazed down at him. "Dude, you have got to be kidding me."
"I know! Insane, right?" James grinned, looking at his dumbstruck friends.
"Blimey…what was old dumbly thinking?
"Yeah! James Potter, Head Boy? No way!" now Sirius even began to smile a little, but still had a deep expression of shock etched upon his handsome face.
Remus was still looking worried, "You guys, I'm not sure this is correct. I mean there must be some kind of mistake … the most troublesome guy in the whole wide school with the messiest record, Head Boy?" he glanced at his friends.
"Aww c'mon Mister I'm-the-perfect-prefect-Lupin, take a chill pill, man." Sirius relaxed and slumped himself on the nearest leather couch.
"I don't recall you as relaxed as when we received the news." Remus frowned, and before Sirius could retort, and a heated argument would take place, James said "come on Moony, Sirius's right… think of the possibilities, he advantages, the torture of ol' snivellus" he hesitated at the sharp look from Remus, but continued " but see, one of the marauders, a prefect and the other, a freaking Head Boy…"
He looked dreamy, as if imagining luxuries, but Remus still looked a tiny bit troubled. Glancing again at his friend he murmured in a low voice, "oh and Moony? Think of the interest Lily Evans is bound to take in me now."
It had worked and Remus smiled a little, and his face relaxed.
"Yeah you're probably right."
"Of course we are. Now pass the crisps, if you please." Sirius said, his feat resting on the coffee table and a bar of chocolate in his hand.
James settled himself comfortably around his best friend, gulping down some soda. He muttered thoughtfully, "wonder who the Head Girl is… hope it's my Evans."
And he grinned to himself.

At Lily's….
"Lily Evans! Gosh, I am soooooo happy for you!" Edona Tyles screeched at the top of her lungs, her arms wrapped around her best friend, Lily Evans.
"Thanks so much, you guys! I still can't believe its me!" Lily answered in a small voice, her hands still clutching the letter.
"Yeah it was really unexpected----not! We so knew it was going to be you, Lils, I mean who can compete with miss goody two shoes? Sandy Manor chuckled, punching Lily friendly on her arm.
"Right sandy, Lily's record is as smooth as the nimbus broomsticks!' Edona laughed.
"Hey stop it, you guys, you're embarrassing me!' Lily pretended to throw her hands to her face, as the other two doubled with giggles.
"Ooooh I can't wait to go to Hogwarts! I hope Slughorn worships us well, since were now the official friends of the headgirl!" sandy elbowed Edona, who chuckled.
"Yeah, we require special treatment now, don't we? I swear, buddy, the professors are going to fawn over Lily even more than usual!"
"Yeah you wish!' Lily laughed and all the friends settled down to admire the badge once more.
