Disclaimer: I own nothing. Harry Potter and all the characters belong to
JK Rowling and I hope she doesn't mind I borrow them. I would also like to
say that the whole Prince of Griffindor thing belongs to the author of the
Gilded Lily, which I myself enjoy. I would like to say that I only
borrowed the title (Prince of Griffindor) and will not be anything like the
Gilded Lily.
A Life in a Moment
Chapter 12: A New Semester
I was almost late getting to the train I ran onto through the barrier onto the platform. Everyone had boarded.
"Wait for me!"
"Lils I swear. I didn't think you were going to make it." Said Bella through the window. She jumped down and I ran up to them dragging my trunk. We hugged and thanked each other for the presents. I had given her a book on dragons. She had a temper just like them and I said so in the note.
Me and her heaved my trunk into her compartment and I climbed in after her and took a seat. I looked up.
"Potter what the hell are you doing in this compartment?"
"Well, I was here first."
"Lily there wasn't any left so we were forced to share." Bella answered.
"Oh." Sirius, Remus and Peter were there too. I got up and hugged Remus. "I hope you had a good Christmas!"
"Thanks. I liked the gift." I had given him a set of Gobstones.
"Well you know I thought you might have more luck at it that chess." He laughed.
"Oh now we are going to have to have a show down."
"Just like Al Burr and Alexander Hamilton." Everyone looked at me like I was on crack. "What? I read a book about early America…" [sorry had a discussion about the milk commercial about this]
"Lils you are too funny." Bella said in-between laughs.
"Funny, more like insane." Snorted Potter. I casually smacked him upside the head. "Ouch!"
The rest of the train ride flew by and was relatively calm except for the Bernie Botts every flavor bean fight. After a welcome back mean we headed up to the common room and discussed our vacations then went up to bed. I shook my hair out of the ponytail and several beans clattered to the floor. I smiled and put on my pjs and went to bed.
"Ssshhh! So you want them to wake up!" James whispered harshly to Wormtail. They were right outside the girl's dorm.
"Sorry." He said meekly.
"Come on lets go. We have a room to rig and I still want to get some sleep!" Sirius mumbled pushing his way through. They covered the room in waxing charms and transfigured all of Lily's robes into carrot costumes or a least James did.
They then turned and looked at her desk and her pictures. There was some pretty horrific one of them after then had been pranked. There were some from when they had glued feathers all over the marauders and they were pretty frantic to get them off. It was rather embarrassing watching the picture image of you look like a chicken and dance around.
"Lets steal them!" James whispered motioning.
Sirius and Potter then crept up and reached out a hand when it started to ring. They jumped and fell back. There was a burglarproof charm on them. They slid all over the floors trying to get to the door picking Peter up and tossing him out as they went. They scurried all the way back up to their room giggling at the screams of the girls as they slipped and thuds of them landing on their rear ends. They then collapsed on the bed and put a locking charm on the door.
"You know one of these days she is going to kill you." Remus mumbled turning over. He hadn't participated in tonight's little raid.
Lily didn't find the robes till the next morning.

The new semester wore on. Rude insults and pranks flying everywhere and soon we were in the last week of February. I was walking back from the potions room. I had been practicing some of the upcoming assignments. Severus had been there and he was occupying my thoughts he was always nice to me and mean to the rest of the Griffindors. I will never understand. I sighed.
BAM! I had crashed into someone and I fell back on my butt and dropped my books. Potter just my luck. I looked up and saw him staring at me. Man I am loosing my touch I didn't even take him down with me. He was several inches bigger than me.
"Do you ever watch where you are going?"
"Actually I was looking for you and I was just standing there and you walked into me." He said matter of factly.
"Don't be a smart ass."
"Language Lily. So you looked pretty deep in thought." A red flag was now being waved in front of my eyes.
"Why would you care?" He was helping me pick up my stuff.
"Oh no reason." He stood up with me.
"Alright I'll be going know. And maybe you should have your head examined. I think I might have knocked something loose." I turned and walked away as he started to laugh.
"Wait!" He suddenly came to his senses and grabbed my arm.
"What?"
"I talked to Remus about it and he doesn't seem to want to tell me what's going on."
"Like I would know?"
"Where he really goes once a month." My mouth opened.
"Sorry I don't know what to tell you. Because I was under the impression he was at his Mother's."
"You and I both know it isn't true."
"Listen Potter… I don't know what you want me to tell you but-"
"I am his friend and I know something is wrong. I know it is serious and I can't help him unless I know what is wrong." Wow wasn't expecting that. The stuck up Potter really does care about his friends.
"You know I can't tell you anything even if I did know." He looked down and I kept walking. Remus you have to work up the courage soon. He's on to you. I ran off to find him. Potter called after me.
"He's in the library." I turned he met my eyes. They were so blue and deep. He was truly worried. I turned my heel and kept going.

[James POV]
"What is up with you man, you have been spending all this free time in the library."
"So. Its only two and a half months to final exams."
"Yeah but you never studied before and frankly you don't need too." Sirius felt the need to inform me.
"Listen. Give me and hour here and when I get back to the common room we'll make plans to break into slytherin common room." James replied without even looking up from his book.
"Know your talking… I was beginning to worry. I'll put up the bat signal…"
"What?" James was looking at him like he was a freak.
"Its from a muggle comic book." He stated.
"Where did you get a muggle comic book?" He smiled mischievously. James laughed.
"Do I want to know?"
"Not really."
"Okay see ya later." Sirius then exited leaving James to his pile of books.
Forty-five minutes later Lily walked in.
"What are you doing here Potter?"
She looked down at the book he was reading. It was open to a page on werewolves. She looked down.
"I know now."
"I guess so." I said meeting his eyes. "You happy?"
"No. I won't tell anyone. Remus has to do it. Sorry I put you on the spot."
"No problem." She then left. She was more loyal than I was. She kept his secret while I shamelessly asked her to tell me since Remus skirted it. I would never let Remus down again.

The Slytherin 1st year boys woke up with freezing water being dumped on them. When they looked in the mirror they had red hair, and gold tinted skin. Their screams could be heard all the way to Griffindor tower.
