A/N: Well, you made it through the first chapter. If you're still reading, you are awesome. If you review, you are even better! Flames will be used to light my cigarettes, so feel free. Plus, they'll give me something to laugh at…

Chapter Two:

Roxy checked her watch after she finished her homework. She felt like there was somewhere she was supposed to be, but she couldn't figure out where. She leapt up out of her seat and darted out of the compartment. She had completely forgotten the Prefect meeting. Perhaps because she was dreading seeing her older brother, she had blocked it from her mind.

Kane looked into the compartment and saw two rather pretty girls who were both reading. "So, can I sit here until the Prefect meeting?"

Cat glanced up from her book and smiled. "Sure thing, Tako. How was your summer?" She put her book away and glanced at Audrey, who was still reading.

"Thanks, Moon. I had a chance to visit Japan over the holidays. It was very interesting and I came back with an accent! I only had it for a week, thank Merlin. How was yours?"

"Very good. Cat and I went on a tour of France. We try to go every year, but this is the first tine in a while. What did you do in
Japan? I've never been there."

"I walked around Kyoto and Tokyo, practiced some of the Muggle sword fighting techniques, and bought some Muggle candy. Pocky?" He offered her a chocolate covered biscuit stick. "I've never been to France. It sounds like a lot of fun."

"It is. We stayed in a friend's chateaux. Do you know the Delacours? Probably not, as they've never come to England. They have a son a few years older than us." Audrey seemed undaunted by the conversation going on around her, but she occasionally looked up.

"Nope, never met any of them. It sounds like you had fun. Did you get any time to shop?"

"Of course. I'm actually wearing one now." She showed of the robes she was wearing which had a different cut than most of the ones other students were wearing. It only had one clasp in the front and satin lining.

"I like it! It suits your figure."

Cat blushed. "Thanks…"

He noticed that she was uncomfortable and changed the subject. "So, are you ready for your last year at Hogwarts?"

"Yes, definitely. It's hard to believe that this will be the last time we get on this train to come to Hogwarts. I'm going to miss it, I'll admit."

"Yeah, it's sad. What are you planning on doing after you graduate?"

"I'd like to go into research. You know, spell creation. It seems interesting. I've been working on a few already."

"Awesome. You're a Ravenclaw, so I bet you'll be pretty good at it.

"It's difficult but fun. What are you planning on doing? Going back to Japan?"

"Nah, I'll probably go to Romania and work with the dragons. It's a dream of mine."

"That sounds interesting." Cat glanced at her watch. "It's almost time for the Prefects meeting. We should probably be going soon. Audrey?" she addressed the quiet girl who was still wrapped up in a book. "The meeting starts in ten. We'll see you there. Okay?"

Audrey nodded.

"Shall we, milady?" Kane offered Cat his arm.

"Let's," she laughed and put her arm through his.

Audrey marked her place in her book and carefully placed it in her bag. She didn't want to bend the pages or anything. She glanced at her watch and saw that they had only been gone for around three minutes. She checked her bag to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything and headed off to the Prefect's compartment. She quickly reached the door and paused before entering. For some reason, her heart was pounding. 'I don't think I've ever been so nervous for no reason,' she thought to herself as she stepped inside. She glanced around her to see who else was a Prefect. Lupin, Turner, both Snapes, a few others she didn't know as well, as well as Evans, Moon, and Tako. She was only a Prefect because the boy who had been one had stepped down from the position and no one else wanted it. So the seventh year Ravenclaws had two female Prefects, a rarity.

Lily glanced around the compartment. Black had yet to show up, as had the Head Boy. She hoped that they weren't one and the same.

"Okay," she said. "First, I'd like to welcome you to a new year as a Prefect. For some of you," she smiled at the seventh years, "this will be the last time you hear this little speech. If you haven't already noticed, our Head Boy, along with a Prefect or two, has yet to show up. We can't really wait any longer, so we'll have to start without them. Now, first we need to plan out patrols. If you have a-" She was interrupted by someone busting in the door.

Sylia smiled at Sirius. "You should really try for the Quidditch team. I bet you would get in easily."

Mark rolled his eyes. "Only because you're the captain," he said with a smirk.

Suddenly, Sirius jumped out of his seat. "Shit! I have to go to the meeting!" He waved good-bye to everyone and ran to the Prefect's compartment. Sirius barged through the door and slid into his seat in one easy movement. "Sorry I'm late. I was distracted by this girl, you see. She was in danger…" He stopped talking when he realized everyone was staring at him.

Sylia looked dejectedly at the now empty seat beside her. She looked back at Mark. "Way to go." She crossed her arms and looked out the window at the nature rolling past.

Lyra sighed. She had nothing to do in her little compartment. Michael and Ferguson were still sleeping. "Townshend!" she prodded him. "Wake up!"

He stirred. "Wha-"

"Entertain me." Michael just looked at her. She sighed. "Do you wanna play Exploding Snap?"

Michael grinned definitely.

Lily looked around the room. They were still missing a fifth year, sixth year, and the Head Boy. She didn't really expect the fifth year to show up, as she was a Slytherin. It was possible that the Head Boy was, as well. All she knew was that he was not a former Prefect. All of them were present.

"Okay, I guess we should continue. As I was saying, you will all patrol the corridors regularly. I will owl you the schedules as soon as your Head Boy and I get them set up." She paused. "Whoever he is. You will report to us whenever a problem-"

Just then, James Potter burst through the door and into the meeting. "I'm here!" he said as he ran his fingers through his already messed up hair. He grinned at Lily. "I couldn't find the compartment. You know, they really should mark these better." He sat down in the open chair next to Lily. "So, what'd I miss?"

Sirius tried to hold back his laughter, but it was to no avail. He hunched over in his seat, holding his stomach because he laughing so hard.

James blinked a few times and scratched his head in confusion. "Wait, did you start without me?" He frowned at Lily. "I'm the Head Boy. You're not supposed to start without me."

Roxy had slipped into the compartment as James said he made Head Boy. She tried to slip into her seat without making eye contact with her brother. Instead, she stared at James admiringly.

Audrey scoffed and looked at James. 'Figures he'd be late,' she thought to herself, then caught herself. She had almost been late herself. She decided to just watch the events play out. Surely Lily wouldn't let James get away with it.

Roxy turned to Audrey and whispered, "How in Merlin's name did he make Head Boy?"

"Excellent question. I only wish I knew the answer," Audrey replied in a hushed voice.

Roxy laughed under her breath. "So, what did you do over the holiday?"

"Nothing too interesting. I mainly hung around London, practiced Quidditch, and did my homework. You know how it is. What about you? How was your holiday?"

She chuckled. "Well, I forgot about some of my homework until about twenty minutes ago. How I ended up in Ravenclaw, I'll never know… I did travel around a bit, though. I went to the States and Egypt for a while. Pretty much tried to avoid my brother all summer. The usual. I did stumble upon him coming home one night dressed in those bellbottom pants Muggles wear!"

Audrey tried to stifle a laugh, but it was pointless. "You caught him in bellbottoms?" She wiped tears of mirth from her eyes. "That's hilarious!"

"Yeah. I'm just glad I had my camera on me at the time. I got a few pictures. The embarrassing moments are the only benefits of being that git's sister. Sometimes I feel sorry for him, though. No girl would ever go near him! But that's his fault, too, I guess."

Audrey nodded and glanced at Snape. 'I'd go near him,' she thought to herself. Audrey wasn't the biggest fan of his personality, but his looks didn't dissuade her as much as they seemed to the other girls.

She glanced up at Lily and James. "Maybe we should pay more attention to them. We might miss something important," she finally said.

"Nah." Roxy looked around. "They're just fighting. Besides, it can't be anything that we won't hear a million times later."

"Yeah, you're right. I bet this would go much more smoothly if we had a Head Boy who could be on time."

"Well, it is James. I doubt he'd be on time for his own wedding!"

Audrey giggled. "Heck, he'd be late for his own bloody funeral!"

Roxy laughed. "I'd rather not think about James dying, but at least then our Quidditch team might win, right?"

Audrey smiled a little. "Maybe…"

"Eh, we'll beat them this year." She looked up at Lily. "I think they're done fighting. We should listen, I guess."

"Yes, we should."

George slept on, not realizing that she was missing the Prefect's meeting. Regulus didn't have the heart to wake her. Or he didn't notice. Whatever.

Lily's mouth had dropped open when James had announced he was Head Boy. Then, when he rebuked her for not waiting, she exploded. "WHY DIDN'T I WAIT ON YOU?! Well, maybe if you weren't twenty minutes late, we could have started the meeting together. As it was, I though the Head Boy was an irresponsible git! I guess I was right."

She rounded on Sirius. "And you! Stop laughing this instant! You could have told me he was Head Boy! I'm sure you knew. Why did no one inform me?" At this point she was addressing both of them. "You two are insufferable! How does Professor Dumbledore expect me to deal with the both of you? I can barely handle you in the classes we have together, much less having to plan everything with you!" She was incredibly upset, breathing heavily through her nose.

James shrank back at Lily's words. He bit his lower lip and bowed his head a bit, hiding slight laughter. "Sorry, Lily."

Sirius didn't even try to hide his laughter. He put his hand behind his head and let loose. "I kinda forgot he was the Head Boy." He gave an 'oops' smile before continuing. "Sorry 'bout that."

Lily fumed. "I cannot believe the two of you!" She held back from screaming and turned to James. "This is your one screw up this year. Any more and I swear I'll kill you myself." She turned back to the rest of the compartment. "Now that your glorious Head Boy has decided to grace us with his presence, we can continue. We need to set up a few committees to plan the Hogsmeade weekends and the Yule Ball. If you'd like to volunteer, please see me after the feast. I'll be patrolling tonight until eleven."

"Or you could come to me," James said. "I'll be around."

Lily glared at him. "Please see me. At least that way, I'll know you're in the right group. Oh! I just realized! I never introduced myself, did I? Okay, for the new fifth years, I'm Lily Evans and your Head Boy is-"

"Hey, Evans!" James interrupted. "Guess what I found out this summer? Your name is a plant that grows in water!"

"Yeah," Sirius added. "And isn't your sister's name Begonia?"

Lily ignored them and continued. "Is James Potter. He's a bit of an idiot, so if you have any problems, come to me. I think that's about it," she said over James's protests, "so you're all free to go."

As the Prefects were leaving, James grabbed Lily's arm. "What do you want?" she asked.

"Listen to me for a second. I really don't appreciate you making me look like an irresponsible jerk in front of everyone. How are they supposed to respect me if they think like that?"

"Well, you should have thought of that before you behaved like a git! You come in late, refuse to say anything that's pertinent to the meeting, and now you say that you didn't appreciate the way I treated you? James, you need to grow up."

She left him standing in the compartment wondering what he did wrong.
