A/N: This chapter isn't that long, but I hope you like it, even though it's more like a leader on to the next chapters! Also, I've noticed some of you have put the story on story-alert, but haven't reviewed.. I really like advice and reviews! Hint-hint :P
Chapter 3
"Zailian, Thomas"
Lily and James arrived at the sound of the last person being called up to the sorting hat (whom by the way got in Hufflepuff). Lily quickly left James to go sit with her friends, and after a few seconds James found his friends to. The two groups were sitting with some space between each other, but not out of earshot.
"So guess what?"
"Okay, hold on, let me guess. You and James made out in the corridor? Really, you didn't? McGonagall and Dumbledore have a thing going? Wrong again? Hmm… You got Head-Girl? Oh... yeah. We already established that. Nah. I don't know. Tell me" Margaret said.
"Wait.. Let me guess too!! Uhm.. You just found out that you're part-veela? I'm wrong too, huh? Weird, with the looks you're getting I was sure I'd be right" Marlene teased.
"Who's looking?" Lily said, turning her head "Well apart from Potter I mean" Which earned her a few sniggers from the Marauders who had been listening in on the conversation. "Well, anyways. That's not the point. The point is I get my own dormitory, and you can come visit all you like! The only downside is that Potter will probably be there with his mates too, but I'm sure we'll survive"
"It's not really that much of a downside" muttered Marlene, while she stole a quick glance at Remus, unnoticed by the others.
"Really? Oh, Yay! We can have sleepovers, and food, and games and everything; it'll be so much fun" Exclaimed Marlene.
She soon noticed that she was being observed by quite a few people and quickly sunk back down in her seat, her cheeks turning bright-red.
Meanwhile Peter was stuffing his face with food while the other Marauders were talking in between gulps of food, seeing as James and Sirius were quite the wolfs themselves when it came to eating.
"Peter! That is just disgusting." Remus cried out
"Sorry" mumbled Peter, with his mouth full of food, leading to some of it falling back on the plate again.
"Gross" said Sirius' girlfriend for the week, who had decided to stop watching Sirius in awe for a minute to bitch on Peter
"I agree, with… what's your name again?"
"Rebbecca! Hello? Don't you remember me James; we used to date, like back in, third year"
"Oh yeah" said James, looking utterly perplexed, obviously not remembering her
"I'm going to trade her out soon" muttered Sirius in James ear "she tends to get quite annoying, but she's an excellent kisser"
After the feast Lily and James got the password form McGonagall and left to their new dormitory.
"Perksonaplat" James said to the portrait, and he and Lily climbed inside.
Lily gaped. She was gazing at the most beautiful room she had ever seen. The room was hidden behind a portrait in the left corridor, right by the Gryffindor common room. Her gaze flickered over the fire place, to the inviting sofa, over to the marble walls and lastly to a beautiful painting hanging directly over the fireplace. It featured a woman and a man in an embrace. Carved in the picture frame it said; friendship and love matter most. Beneath was a note.
"I hope this picture can be an inspiration for co-operation and friendship to this year's Head Boy and Girl
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore" Lily read aloud.
James snickered, and got a glare in response.
Seems like this co-operation thingy is going quite well, Evans really took it to heart he thought sarcastically while leaning against a wall on the left side of the room.
His attention, however, was quickly diverted when a door materialized the place his body had been resting.
"Wow. Check this out Evans!" He removed his hand, and the door disappeared. He put it back and the door appeared again.
"Hmm. It must be activated by our touch, so that if anyone got in here they couldn't get in our rooms" Lily said.
God, she's so bloody smart James thought, even though he really wasn't all that dumb himself.
Lily felt her way around the room, until she discovered her own room and quickly disappeared inside it. Meanwhile James checked out the bathroom, and found it to his liking. There was a huge bathtub there in Victorian style, plus a shower, sink and toilet.
When Lily returned James decided to try to strike up a conversation, but Lily beat him to it.
"I don't know how you got the Head-Boy position, and I would rather not find out, but seeing as you are Head Boy there are a few rules that have got to be made"
"And what would these be?" asked James
"1st of all, you are not to, under any circumstances, give me pet names like Lily-Flower, Fiery-Temptress and so on. Second of all you are to take the responsibilities you have gotten seriously, and third of all you are to keep this relationship or what you would like to call it strictly professional, and don't get any ideas"
Relationship? Did she just say RELATIONSHIP? I must be in heaven! Hey wait…professional? Don't get any ideas? Oh. Darn.
"Yes Lily-Flower" James replied cheekily.
Lily shot him another one of her infamous glares before leaving him alone with his thoughts.
I REALLY have to stop pissing her of. I don't understand why I keep doing it, I mean, it's not like it should be hard being nice to the person you're in love with. Gah Prongs, you need to grow up. Come on, you can do it for her, can't you?
The next week was all about classes. Lily found she had a lot to catch up on (even though she had been studying a lot over the summer break), James found he actually cared about his grades this year and that being responsible wasn't all that hard, and Sirius realized that there's never such a thing as to many detentions. Remus had a lot to do, seeing as he was a prefect, but still managed to have time with his friends, Peter slouched in the background, and Margaret was overly thrilled that Remus was going to be her tutor (She was mostly a top-class student but didn't quite manage the Potions work). Marlene was just as shy as ever, especially in transfiguration class, where she had been assigned to work with Sirius. She was, however starting to loosen up a little bit, and really wanted to work on her "shyness problem".
A/N: So, I know this chapter is kind of short but I was really having some problems with writing it. I had no clue to what I wanted to do in the chapter, even though I have like a golden line for how I want my story to end and progress and all that. I am pretty sure the next chapter will be much longer.
I hope you enjoyed the chapter and please Review!!
