Chapter 3- Surprise!
"Potter?" I exclaimed.
Potter snickered.
"Surprise?" He said with a smirk on his big ugly face…Okay, fine, kinda cute face.
"You're Head Boy?" Potter nodded. "What's Dumbledore on?" I yelled, throwing my hands up in the air.
He looked a little take aback…and scared.
"Actually, Pads—I mean Sirius—and I were asking ourselves the same thing. When we got our letters, I mean. He lives with me. Evans, you've got to help me. I know nothing about being a Head! I wasn't a Prefect! I dunno—"
"Potter! Shut up! Your loud voice is giving me a headache!" I sat down next to him on the booth seat.
"Sorry," he whispered. "Listen, Evans, can we start over and just be friends? I know I've annoyed the heck out of you for the last six years, and I'm sorry for that. I swear I won't ask you out or anything. I just want to be friends. I've been thinking about it all summer."
James Potter…the boy who's been crazy for me for six years…wants to be just friends? I thought.
"Uh…Sure?"
"Then can we call each other by our real names?"
"Wait, you mean Potter isn't your first name?" I joked.
"Shut it, Lily," James said.
I giggled.
"Sorry, this is going to take some getting used to…"
James laughed.
"I know, right?"
"Okay, so down to business. We have to plan the whole year out…" I heard James groan.
"Are you serious?"
"No, that would be me!" We turned around to see Sirius Black and Remus Lupin standing in the doorway of the carriage.
"Remus! How are you?" I jumped up to give my good friend—and one of the only Marauders I actually enjoy talking to, might I add—a hug.
He laughed.
"Good, how have you been?" He replied.
"Wow, Prongs, you're going to lose Evans to Remy here!" Black said. Merlin, I bloody hate him.
