"You didn't tell her did you?" James asked as he and Remus followed Sirius and Peter to the train.
"No, Prongs, I told you I wouldn't. Although I still think it's a bad idea not to give her some warning."
"Come on, Moony. I want to see the look on her face when she realizes," Sirius put in.
"You're not even going to be there, Padfoot," Remus argued.
"Well, you can describe it to me then." Remus just shook his head as the four boys boarded the train. Sirius and Peter went to find a compartment as James and Remus made their way to the Prefect's carriage. They walked in silence, but Remus could almost feel the glee radiating off James.
When they reached the Prefect's carriage, James motioned for Remus to enter first. Remus slid the door open and stepped in. Lily had her back to them, speaking with one of the other Prefects, but she turned on Remus' entrance, smile lighting up her face. Remus returned it, his stomach squirming at the scene that was sure to come and he stepped aside to let James enter.
"Potter?" Lily questioned. "What are you doing here?"
"Good morning, Ev-, I mean, Lily," James replied politely. Lily's eyes narrowed when James used her first name.
"You're not a Prefect."
"No, I'm not." Her eyes narrowed further. "I am, however, the new Head Boy." James reached into his pocket and pulled out his Head Boy badge, wide grin on his face as he showed it to her.
Lily's mouth gaped open, then closed, then opened again. Remus was reminded of the goldfish his grandmother used to have.
"But you…you can't…that's not," she trailed off shaking her head in disbelief. Finally remembering Remus, she looked at him as if begging him to tell her it was just another one of their pranks.
"Sorry Lily." Lily scowled and made some kind of noise of frustration. She stalked up to James and poked him in the chest.
"Just watch yourself Potter. We may have to work together, but that doesn't mean I have to like it." James held up his hands in surrender. Lily spun back around and James glanced at Remus with a grin. Remus just rolled his eyes and shook his head. This year was definitely going to be interesting.
