"Potter, give Remus back his Head Boy badge. Now."
"Er, Lily," James shifted his weight to his other leg while running a hand through his hair, mainly out of habit and nerves. His Head Boy badge was shining proudly on his chest. "Remus isn't Head Boy. I am."
Lily narrowed her eyes and folded her arms. "Ha-ha. Very funny, Potter. Dumbledore isn't daft."
"He's telling the truth, Lily. I was just surprised as you are when he told me," Remus explained, getting up from his seat.
Lily turned around and stared at Remus. "There is no way. This is simply another one of your pranks." Remus shook his head. The remaining Prefects stayed silent, not wanting to be pulled into a Lily and James conflict.
James walked up and hesitantly placed a hand on her shoulder. Lily shrugged it off. "Don't touch me. This can't be happening. This isn't funny. Pretending to be Head Boy? Won't you ever grow up?"
James whole physique changed as he took a step back. "What is your problem? We have a meeting we have to conduct and we're getting nothing accomplished with your inability to get over the fact I'm Head Boy," He took a deep breath and turned around to look at the Prefects. "Okay, first thing we should do is set up a patrol schedule for everyone. Times, routes, that sort of thing."
Lily couldn't believe what was happening. Was James Potter conducting a Prefect meeting? This had to be a prank. They must have gotten Dumbledore involved with it.
"Excuse me?" Lily interrupted. "I'm sorry I find it hard to believe that the most pompous, egotistical, jerk at Hogwarts is now someone who I have to work side by side with for my last year at Hogwarts. There has got to be a mistake! Quit with the act. You aren't fooling anyone."
"Do you even hear yourself, Evans? You are acting very immature about all of this."
Lily's mouth dropped open. She started at James then back to Remus and then to the Prefects who looked very scared. She walked up towards James, her hand held out.
"Give that back to Remus or whoever it was that you stole-"
"Will you please just shut up! I didn't steal this from anyone and I'm hurt you seem to think of me as a thief. Can we please deal with our personal issues later? Right now, we have to get schedules up for rounds." He gestured towards the prefects.
Lily felt like she had been smacked in the face. Potter was acting so…mature? When she look around and realized just how big of a scene she had been making, she felt her cheeks go red. She'll have to talk to Dumbledore about this later. There can't be anyway that Potter was Head Boy. He hadn't even been a Prefect before!
She looked at Remus and he just gave her a small smile. She turned her head in the direction of Potter who was talking about rounds with the others. What was wrong with him? And why did she have the sudden desire to run her hands through his hair?
AN: Hopefully, with it being the summer, I'll be able to spend more time writing! I just have a hard time thinking up of ideas hence why it takes me forever to post. Hope you enjoyed! Happy Readings!
