Chapter three- Getting To Know You

A week later Lily had not picked up the journal simply because, she had not the time. It was the end of August and she had gotten her Hogwarts letter a couple days before remarkably, she was chosen as head girl along with James Potter as head boy. This certainly sparked her interest. Her first thought on this topic was what the heck Dumbledore was ON when he sent out Potter's letter. Her second thought was how she was going to deal with him over the school year!

She had gone to Diagon Alley, and got her school stuff. Bella and her made it a girls day out and shopped till their coin bags were a few hundred sickles lighter! Lily had grown slimmer and taller over the summer out growing all of her clothes, so, of course, a whole new wardrobe was bought.

The night before September first, she cracked open her notebook to find her mystery man was in there too! Again at the same time, must be a miracle.

'Well, I certainly could have hit the snooze button a couple more times this morning.'

'I know what you mean! I should really get some sleep for the ride tomorrow, then again I could always sleep on the train…'

'yes, sleep. The perfect time to be pranked…'

'okay so I'm not going to be sleeping on the train in fear of my hair! I don't need to be hot pink for all those first years!'

'I'll try and keep that in mind when I'm talking with my friends, you won't be the one in violent pink.'

'yeah, like that will happen I get pranked at least once a year. AND I'd probably be the violent one in hot pink'

'doesn't everyone! Those dang Marauders!' James laughed at his writings.

'GOD! Don't remind me! I really hope James Potter has shrunken his ego by now, all of the girls in my house think so…they might not show it that way…but hey'

'I heard his ego shrunk a bit when his mum and dad died last month'

'did they?'

'yeah'

'alright, so I might show a little sympathy for him, though I hate my parents, whole family for that matter'

'I didn't hate mine, I have a sister somewhere. We never talk since my parents died,'

'I'm sorry'

'it's alright, you didn't know'

'so, what do you like to do?'

'ahh! That's easy! Quidditch'

'Quidditch? Really?'

'yeah…anything wrong with Quidditch?'

'no, but really, I would have said the same thing. Quidditch and friends, kodak moments really,'

'what's a kodak moment?'

'nevermind, it's a muggle thing..'

'no no, its not like we don't have the time, what is it? I'd really like to know'

'alright alright, I don't know how to explain it really, it's a moment in time that you want to snap a picture, a moment that stands out from the rest'

'oh I get it, it's a memory helper!'

'you could say that, I've wished I had a camera on me a couple of times, this being our last year I want to remember every last second'

'you know with a camcam from Time Stops in Hogsmead, you could do that!'

'what's that'

'whats what?'

'Time Stops'

'a store in Hogsmead'

'really? I've never seen it!'

'yeah no one usually does, I think they're closing this year too, you can probably get a camera for less there'

'well, how do wizard cameras work?'

'like normal ones, they just take as many pictures as you want and they pop out when you take them, kinda like a polaroid'

'cool! I should get one of those, I wonder how much they cost..'

'not very much, only like, 5 galleons' (I don't know how much that is but lets just say its around twenty bucks)

'that's not much for a camera that works for a long time!'

'yeah I know….how did we get on cameras from quidditch?'

'I wouldn't know'

'so we've gotten past family, interests, year, gen…oh my god! You're a girl right!'

'no I'm a flippin' giraffe. Of course I'm a girl!'

'okay, just makin sure!'

'so whats the first thing you are going to do at hogwarts?'

'pig out at the feast!'

'how did I se that coming?'

'intuition maybe?'

'you could call it that…'

'yeah, well I have to go, have ta sleep so the frightful Marauders won't get me!'

'I bet I'll still be hot pink…'

'sounds like you kind of want to be'

'oh no no…I'll have to watch my back tomorrow,'

'won't we all! Night,'

'night'

The next morning Lily woke up after an hour or two of sleep, dreading the pink hair issues. She bustled around the house packing last minute items for her last year at Hogwarts, determined to make it her best. Finally Bella and herself were on there way to the train station.

Later on, after climbing aboard the Hogwarts Express, engaging in many games, eating their way through two galleons and eleven sickles worth of food from the lady with the cart, Lily and Bella fell asleep. Much to the delight of the Marauders of course, except James. He, who had not wanted to participate in the first place, had unfortunately fallen asleep….uh oh.

An hour before the train pulled into the station, over half the train was hot pink, and some…most…all, were NOT happy!

"JAMES POTTER! I WILL HURT YOU WHEN I FIND YOU!" Lily, and her pink hair, screamed down the corridor of every car on the train until one compartment opened and James stepped out….with…HOT PINK HAIR!

"What is that on your head?" she said hesitating the screaming bit.

"It's probably hair. You know, tackle the usual. Messy, needs a brush, messy," said James.

"Pink," Lily added as she folded her arms and stood in an I-know-more-that-you-do pose with an I-know-more-than-you-do look on her face, noticing James had no idea yet.

"Ha ha nice one Evans, I think not. Just because I didn't take place in the yearly first prank and fell asleep instead does not mean that they-"

"Potter your hair is pink," she tried again. James reached up and pulled a single hair on his head.

"See what I mean, it's-PINK! SIRIUS!"

"Find and kill?"

"Find and kill," James repeated, and he started walking from the way Lily just came.

"Ah! James," she said and pointed the other direction.

"I knew that," said James grinning, making Lily laugh.

"Right, and I'm the Easter Bunny,"

"Well your hair sure shows it!"

"So does yours!"

"True, true. Now are we just going to stand her and argue over who looks more like the Easter Bunny or are we going to find…and kill," said James.

"Well, kill is a strong word. I say find and prank into endless oblivion,"

" Agreed, Azkaban does not need to be my home. Especially because I have it to myself now,"

"I'm sorry about your parents James,"

"It's alright, nothing good comes out of feeling sorry for some one. It just makes you feel sad yourself,"

"Lets go now,"

"Yeah"

~*~

"Ahh the sweet pleasures of revenge. I do believe they are the best pleasures in the world" said Lily twirling her wand through her fingers.

"I do believe you do believe correct Miss Evans,"

" Well thank you Mister Potter. I do believe you do believe I do believe correct too,"
