Chapter three

"One hundred ninety eight, one hundred ninety nine, two hundred!" Finally, I'm done brushing my hair. No, I do not obsess, what are you talking about?

"Hey Lily!" A voice comes out of nowhere. I scream.

"James, what…how…why…you…in….my…..room?"

"Ahhh, the benefits of invisibility cloaks. Nice room, by the way."

"Thanks" I am rather proud of my room. I painted it purple, except for the ceiling, which is like the one in the Great Hall, showing the sky outside, even though there are at least six floors above me. I have a picture of a lily on my wall, and a U2 poster. Yes, the whole lily/Lily thing is rather pathetic, but my mom thought it'd be cute, and I've grown attached to the picture. I turn around into James' arms. After kissing for a while I ask:

"James, was there any reason for your visit apart from kissing me?"

"Oh yeah, there was something I wanted to show you." He pulls out a copy of The Daily Prophet "Read this article. It says here that this dark wizard Voldemort seems to be gaining more power, and is gathering followers at an alarming rate."

"But how does this effect us? Apart from the obvious, I mean."

"It says that once he gathers enough followers, his goal is to kill all the muggles, muggleborns and muggle-lovers. Which is pretty much everyone except the Slytherins."

"Oh, great fun! We're all gonna die! This has made my day that much better. Thank you James"

"No problem. Hey, I was wondering, do you want to come over to my house this summer? If we're not all dead by that point."

"Would your parents mind?"

"I doubt it. Sirius kinda moved in last summer, so I doubt they'll mind another guest. Besides, they're dying to meet you, I've told them all about you…" He blushes.

"I hope you've told them good things. But I would love to visit. I'll check with my parents. I also can't stand staying with my sister for more than… a few minutes, if that. She can be a real bitch sometimes."

"All the more reason to come." James smiles. "Plus, I can kiss you whenever I feel like it."

"Ulterior motives, eh?" Sirius pops his in the door. "Just remember to keep his hands in sight at all times." How are all these guys getting into my room? I thought that once I got my own room as Head Girl I'd have more privacy. Guess not.

"How are you guys getting in here anyway?" I ask.

"We have our ways." Says Sirius as he opens the door to let Remus and Peter in.

"Lily, what are all these guys doing in your room?" asks Molly as she comes out of the bathroom. Molly Weasley is my best friend, and she has issues with sharing showers in the locker room after Quidditch, so she tends to use mine a lot.

"That's exactly what I was wondering…Guys?"

"We thought you might be lonely in here by yourself. Besides, there are too many other people in the common room, our dorm is filthy, and James' room smells weird." Remus explains.

"Hey, I resent that! This sounds like grounds for a PILLOW FIGHT!"
