"Ready?" Lily asked.
"Ready." They all said in unison.
" Potter, what are you doing here?"
James took a deep breath. "I am being honest, and I am pretty sure you are going to think that Dumbledore is crazy, but I'm Head Boy."
Lily blinked at him. "You're right. I do think he is crazy. But you seem to have the badge, so I guess we will have to be civil, huh?"
James nodded. "I guess."
Lily nodded and quickly went through all of the prefects, and explained which people should never be together. "Like Slytherins and Gryffindors. However, the last heads put to two patrols on when it was the Slytherin night to patrol, because they once let a muggleborn get tortured by other Slytherins"
"Why weren't they suspened from duty?" James asked.
Lily sighed sadly. "Dumbledore had no proof that they saw the muggleborn being tortured. The victim was too scared to speak about it."
The memory dissolved and Remus shook his head. " It is true. The heads that year could not prove it."
Lily nodded and put in another memory.
"What should out password be?" Lily asked.
"Uh, how about unity?"
Lily nodded and quickly informed the portrait.
" Dumbledore said we should change it every two weeks." Lily told the portrait, it was a picture of two young siblings, a brother and a sister.
The little girl nodded and swung open, Lily and James got to admire their new common. The walls were scarlet and gold. In the middle was a staircase,and a door on the left side. On one side of the room was a medium sized bookcase. Half of it had books on it, while one half was empty. On the other side of the room was a portrait of a majestic lion. In the middle of the room was a couch and a chair. The chair and the couch were creating a half circle around a nice wooden cherry coffee table. A fireplace was across from the coffee table so you could also see the fireplace while studying.
"Wow!" Lily breathed.
"Uh huh." James said.
Lily walked up to the couch and sat down. "This couch is nicer than my bed in my old dorm." Lily exclaimed.
James smiled at her, while she wasn't looking. Her eyes were closed, relaxing in the apparently comfy couch.
The memory faded, and Sirius punched James in the shoulder. "You were giving her that love sick look Prongs!"
"Shut up Padfoot!" James exclaimed.
"What's the next memory? " Megan asked.
Lily bit her lip. "I think we decided on showing when we each let our friends explore the dorm."
"Lily can go first." James answered.
Megan, Alice and Hestia screamed as soon as they stepped in the head dorm, which made Lily cover her ears.
"You guys!" Lily whined. "I like being able to hear you know."
"Look at the couch!"Hestia exclaimed.
"The bookshelf." Alice added.
"The awesome wide staircase!" Megan declared.
Lily started to walk up the staircase, and the three girls followed her. When they got to the top, there was a small landing. Across from each other, were two doors. "That's mine." Lily told them, pointing to the door on the right.
Megan and Hestia barged into the room,and Alice shook her head and closed the door behind her.
"Amazing!You even get a queen sized bed. And a closet!For Merlin sakes, why do you need a dresser and a closet?" Hestia asked.
Lily sat down on her bed. "I love my bed."
Alice rolled her eyes. "Out of this whole dorm,you like the bed best."
"Yep!"
Remus and Sirius were laughing so hard that tears streamed down their cheeks.
"James, our reaction was not that funny or interesting." Sirius choked.
"Yeah, I can basically sum it up for you, Sirius liked the space in the bathroom, and the privacy of the whole place. And Peter…" Remus zoned off when he go to Peter.
"And Remus liked the books." Sirius said.
James chuckled. "Lily, go to your next memory, I think they just summed the whole thing up."
Lily nodded. " Okay… I think it is our first patrol."
"Want to play twenty one questions?" Lily asked. She had explained the game the night before in their dorm.
"Sure." James answered.
"Okay. You go first" Lily said.
"What is your favorite childhood memory?" James asked.
"Ah…. When I was six years old, before I knew I was a witch, during the Summer. My sister and I had just got new dress up outfits and we played with the outfits ,together, until my parents made us go to bed."
James nodded,and waited patiently for her to go.
"Favorite color?"
"Red." James answered. "What is your biggest fear?"
Lily thought about it for a moment. "I think my biggest fear would to be to lose everyone I loved. To have to live without the people I loved. My turn, hmmm, oh. If you died today would you say you had a full life?"
James seemed to think, and for awhile their was silence. "Not quite. I think I am missing something before my life is complete."
Lily wanted to ask what it was, but bit her tongue. She was nervous on what the answer would be.
Lily laughed when she thought about the next question. "If you woke up and you were the opposite gender, what would you do?"
James laughed, a twinkle in his eyes. "Scream."
Lily lauhed.
Megan smirked. "Scream, James, really?"
James nodded. "Yup."
Sirius chuckled. "What's the next memory?"
"I think we end up skipping a long time." James answered. "Nothing interesting."
Megan smirked, a mischievous glint in her eye. "I know what the next memory should be."
"What?" Lily asked.
"When you told us something very important."
" .NO!" Lily answered quickly.
"Make it the next memory, or I will just tell the story myself. And I might add something to it." Megan threatened.
Lily gasped. "Please Megan?"
Megan shook her head. "Do it."
"Stupid stupid James Potter." Lily muttered as she walked up the steps to her former dorm.
"What about Potter?" Alice asked.
Lily jumped. "Nothing."
"Really? Nothing? Then I challenge you to a girls truth or dare."
Lily winced. " That's not necessary."
"I. Challenge. You .To. A. Girls. . Dare." Alice said slowly, making sure Lily knew she wasn't giving in.
"Fine." Lily snapped.
Alice smirked. "Let the game begin."
Three minutes later, Alice, Hestia ,Megan and Lily were all sitting in a circle, they each had taken a small dose of a truth potion.
"As always, the challenger, me, asks the first question." Alice announced.
Lily sighed. They had decided these rules a long time ago, in first year.
"Lily, Truth or Dare."
"Dare." Lily answered.
"I dare you to go kiss Potter on the lips."
Lily smirked. She had a loophole for this. "I, Lily Evans, accept,"
Megan gave her a weird look.
Alice smiled smugly.
Hestia was smiling. She knew there was a loophole for this one."
Lily was glad she had taken a picture of James last year as a dare.
She quickly found the picture, kissed it quickly, and smirked at Alice.
Alice opened her mouth, than her eyes widened. " Stupid loopholes."
Lily let out a sigh of relief. The girls had agreed that each person had to ask everyone before they went back to one they already did. Meaning, that Alice couldn't ask her a question until Megan and Hestia had. Also, Alice couldn't dare her to do the same thing.
Lily would have to have down one truth by the time it Alice asked her again, because the rule was that you couldn't do the same thing for a whole round.
"So… Megan, truth or dare." Lily asked.
"Ah… .truth."
"Who was your first crush? " Lily decided to play easy, which might result in them going easier on her.
"Remus." Megan answered.
Lily barely paid attention while Megan asked Hestia,Hestia asked Alice, and Alice asked Megan.
"Lily, truth or dare?"
"Dare." Lily answered without thinking.
Alice smirked at Lily's mistake. Lily should have picked truth, because Hestia always asked questions about relationships.
"I dare you to…" Megan paused to think. She had obviously thought Lily would ask for truth, because she didn't have one prepared.
"Let me do your make up tomorrow." Megan decided.
Lily sighed. "I, Lily Evans, accept."
Megan took forever to do make up, because she was a perfectionist.
"Alice, truth or dare."
"Dare." Alice said dully.
"I dare you to ask Frank to Hogsmeade."
Alice blushed. She had had a super big crush on him starting last year, and still going this year. "I Alice, accept."
Lily nodded and smiled that she had at least helped Alice.
The game continued, until it got to Hestia.
"Lily, truth or dare."
Alice studied Lily, waiting for the answer. Lily thought about it, and sighed.
"Dare."
Hestia nodded. "I dare you to dye your hair back and keep it like that for the whole day."
"I accept."
Lily than asked Hestia truth or dare, and she decided truth.
"Did you ever have a crush on any of the Marauders?"
"Yes." Hestia answered.
Hestia than decided that Megan would go next, and she asked Alice.
Alice answered with a truth, and then she turned to Lily. "So Lily, truth or truth. "
Lily rolled her eyes.
"Do you fancy James Potter?"
Lily saw that Hestia and Megan were looking at her expectantly.
And Lily was trying to think of a spell that she could do to make her sick.
Alice was watching Lily steadily. "Lily, the answer please."
"I…."
