James heard the cabin door slide open and looked up to see Lily standing at the door. Her hair was loosely tied, a few strands falling over her face. She was staring right at James wearing a very perplexed expression. James couldn't blame her; when he received his Hogwarts letter and was told that he had been made Head Boy he was sure he had been delivered the wrong letter.
"Good morning, Evans" he said in an attempt to break the trance she was in. She jumped in surprise as if just realising that she had been staring at him for almost a full minute. Luckily the other prefects hadn't arrived yet. James had wanted to be the first one at the meeting to prove that he was taking his duties seriously. She looked at him puzzled and glance back at his badge.
"You're Head Boy?" she asked raising her eyebrows. James couldn't help but feel slightly offended by her tone.
"Surprised?" he asked her, waiting for her reaction.
She cracked a smile,"Okay, who put you up to this? Was it Remus?" she asked, confusing James for a moment until he realised what she meant.
"What? You think this is a joke?"
"Of course it is. Now where's Remus? He's going to be late for the meeting."
"Evans, I'm Head Boy. Can't you see the badge," he said pointing at the prestigious piece of metal gleaming on his chest. "You don't have to be so insensitive," he said, feigning hurt.
Her face dropped. "WHAT? You're kidding right?" She was almost yelling. "Who in their right mind would make YOU Head Boy?" the expression on her face was priceless and James found himself holding back a laugh.
"Well obviously Dumbledore thought it'd be a good idea."
"Why in the name of Merlin would he appoint you? Does he want to get the castle burnt down?"
"I know!" James said, now thoroughly enjoying himself, he didn't let Lily's words sting because she was taking it better than he could ever imagine. "He's off his rocker!"
"This is MENTAL!" she shrieked. James couldn't help but notice how pretty she looked when she was angry. 'No.' he thought to himself. ' You are not going to think of Evans.' Over the summer, James had promised himself that he would not chase Lily this year. She didn't like him, nor would she ever. He had tried enough and now he had to move on. It hurt him just to think like that but he knew it was true. Lily was never going to be his so why should he carry on making an absolute fool of himself?
Just then a group of prefects entered the carriage and when they noticed James, the stopped dead in their tracks. They stared at him as if he had grown another head. They carried on staring at him as they took their seats, waiting for the meeting to start. Once all the prefects had assembled, Lily and James addressed the students before them. They reminded them of the rules, their duties and gave them schedules they would have to follow in the new school year. James could tell that Lily was surprised by his participation in the meeting. She probably expected him to sit with his feet up and let her do all the work.
James was determined to change the schools perspective of him. He wanted to show them that there was more to him than the Quidditch Captain-playboy-pranker they all knew.
