A/N: Read and Review please! Sorry for the lateness. I was down with fever.

Lily and James climbed up the gargoyle and went to Dumbledore's office. Lily gasped at how beautiful it looked. James, on the other hand, was unmoved. When he saw a phoenix sitting by the sorting hat, he called out "Hello Fawkes. How do you do?"

"Fawkes?" asked Lily.

"This is Dumbledore's phoenix, Fawkes. And looking at the condition, I think it has just burned." he said.

Phoenix is a mythical creature that, once aged, would burst into flames and be reborn again from the ashes. Their tears are said to be magical and they are known to carry immensely heavyloads. Lily wondered how James knew that Dumbledore had a phoenix when she herself didn't.

"Have you been here before?" she asked.

He wore a slightly frustrated expression."Of course I have, for detention." he said.

"Oh." Lily said as she couldn't bring herself to say anything more.

"Are my eyes deceiving me? Am I seeing Lily and James Potter be civil to each other?" a voice boomed up behind them. They both whipped around to see Dumbledore staring at them with with his piercing blue gaze.

"Ah, I've always been civil to her,Professor." said James.

Lily rolled her eyes. If you call asking her out at every chance he gets and hexing everyone near whenever she got near him and hexing all her past-boyfriends, civil, then, yes, he was very civil to her indeed.

"Now, for your duties. You will be staying in the Head dormitory for the first two days to plan things and whenever you have important things to do. Other than that you are free to use your own common room. The Head Boy and Girl have to set a good example to the other Prefects" he said this more to James than to me,"It is also your duty to patrol the corridors three days in a week. However, rather luckily imust say, you have the happy liberty of assigning Prefects to patrol instead of you when you need to study, and mind you, for no other reason."

James raised his eyebrows."Alright, also if you have any other proper reason too." Dumbledore said.

"I think that is all to be said for now. You shall figure out the rest." With those said, Dumbledore got up and walked them out of the door.

Lily and James maintained silence as they walked to their Heads room thinking their own train of thoughts. Lily was wondering at the changes in James, while James thought of nothing but Lily and his bliss at the fact that they would have to share a dormitory, all for themselves.

They reached the Heads dormitory in the front of which was a potrait of the Hogwarts founders four.

"May we go in?" Lily asked.

"Not until you decide the password, you can't", they recited together.

"Hmm…Let's think. How about dadonut?" Lily said.

James laughed outloud. Dadonut? "What?" he asked again for confirmation.

"Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titilandus. Our school's motto. Take the first letter and first vowel of each word omitting the vowel in the last word. What do you get?" Lily said rolling her eyes.

"d…a…d…o…n…u…t. dadonut. Dadonut!" gasped James."You are a genius." he said, giving her a grin that got butterflies to her stomach.

"The password is dadonut then." Lily said, smiling.

Once inside, both the people gasped simultaneously. The Heads room greatly resembled the common room, but with two armchairs beside the fire, one sofa that looked like a love seat and a table with two chairs opposite each other for work. On the right hand side was a card that read "Head Girl,Lily Evans" decorated with books. On the left hand side, the card read "Head Boy,James Potter" decorated by broomsticks and snitches.

Inside Lily's room was a comfortable bed with a bookcase on top of it, that included all her favourite books and study material. Taking a quick look around, she hopped back down and went inside James's room. It was very identical to hers but instead of the bookcase, there was his broomstick and rubber snitches that would repeat whatever you say to it and zoom around.

"Beautiful isn't it?" Lily asked.

James nodded, flabbergasted.

"Wanna see mine?" Lily asked.

"Am I allowed to come in your room?" James asked frowning.

"Oh. I forgot. Sorry" Lily said.

"Well, we have work to do." said James going to the table followed by Lily.
