At the feast Lily watched the sorting, then their new headmaster of three years after Professor Dippet, Professor Dumledore made a speech.

"Welcome students! A few start of term notices: The Forbidden Forest is forbidden and no magic allowed in the corridors between classes. Next I would like to announce our prefects and Heads. Hufflepuff prefects for 5th year are Christopher Tobin and Jackie Monahan. Ravenclaw prefects for 5th year are Adam Francese and Arabella Figg. Gryffindor prefects for 5th year are Micheal Caster and Tina Decutis. Slytherin prefects for 5th year are Daniel Brim and Christen Kazarain. (AN: Christen sounds exactly like Kristen. It is the way my sis spells it. And Francese sounds like Fran see sa the a is silent in sa just the s like u would if you said sa. And Decutis is like Dachutis). Hufflepuff prefects for 6th year are Justin Roberts and Emma Williams. Ravenclaw prefects for 6th year are James Bond (AN: hehehe) and Lizzy Jones. Gryffindor prefects for 6th year are James Potter and Lily Evans. Slytherin prefects for 6th year are Serevus Snape and Narcissus (AN: spell check and I dunno her last name.) Bulstrode. Last but not least our Head boy is William Chang and our Head Girl is Kiersten Kyles (AN: most of these people are people I know and Keirsten and Kyle are two kids I baby sat. "The Kids from Hell")

As their name was called, everyone stood up. Lily looked back at James he still looked slightly depressed. Lily thought this might be a good thing for him. When she sat back down again every one began to eat. Lily was once again wrong. Tons of girls came over to him asking, "What's wrong?" and "Will a kiss make it better?" Of course, he didn't tell them what was really wrong, but he made excuse like "I just missed you."

'Pig,' Lily thought. She just lost her appetite watching James and decided to head to the common room. She sat there for a while then decided to head downstairs to help with the first years.

She made her way down and gathered the Gryffindor first years. When she saw James he had just invited his new girlfriend to a closet. She turned to the other first years and said, "Because we have a pig-headed boy 6th year prefect," the kids laughed, "I will take you to the common room. My name is Lily Evans if you need anything you can always come to me. Now follow me." She lead them up to the common room letting them take time to look at the moving pictures and ask questions. When she got there the fat lady asked:

"Password"

"Limerick," She answered. The portrait flew open and they entered. "Now remember the password, Limerick. Boys your dormitories are to the left go through door labeled first years girls same to your right. Good night!" The kids went to their separate dorms and Lily went to her own dorm.

At 12:00 am Lily woke up. She couldn't get back to sleep so she decided to head back down to the common room and read. She was wearing dark green shorts and a black t-shirt so she was pretty cold. She decided on a nice warm corner of a sofa in front of the fire. After she had read about 10 pages a figure came down the boys' dormitory steps. She didn't notice him till he sat on the other end of the couch.

She looked up from her book and back down at it again. "Potter," she said sternly.

"Flake?" he asked.

"Hmmm?" she responded not looking up from her book. She didn't want to talk to him.

"I know you think I have a little ego problem-"Lily snorted.

"Little is an understatement."

"Fine," he said sternly, "I know you think I-"Lily snorted again. "What now?"

"I don't think you have an ego problem, Potter," Lily said not looking up.

"You don't?" James asked curiously.

"No," Lily said still reading, "I know you have one."

James was getting slightly annoyed. "Anyways I want you to see things from my point of view-"Lily cut him off.

"You see, Potter, I would try that attempt but," she paused to read another line in her book, "I just can't get my head that far up my butt."

James was really annoyed, "Oh, so it is you against the rest of the female population in this school!"

Lily smiled down at her book. "You don't get it do you Potter. Girls don't go out with you for you. They go out with you for looks and a reputation. I'm sure once your ego gets smaller," she paused and looked up from her book smiling, "a girl might want to get to know you and like you for you."

James smiled back at her. It was a true smile and not his "Potter Smile" all the girls loved. "Thanks, Fla- Lily," James stated.

"Of course, but that will cost you a sandwich," Lily said as James laughed.

Suddenly James said, "I declare truce!" holding out his hand.

She hesitated but eventually accepted.

"So," James started, "Now do I get to say something about your love life?"

"Sure, why not?" Lily said and smiled.

"Dump Diggory," James said simply.

"What? Why?" Lily asked.

"He is not good enough for you," and he was in the first broom closet I tried today with, Christen Kazarain."

"Shit!" Lily cursed and she slapped her hand to her head, "Thanks, Po- James."

"Hmmmm, James, I like it!" James said sarcastically. Lily laughed and pushed him.

"So who is your new girlfriend," Lily asked.

"Tina Decutis, but I'm gonna dump her after what you said. Anyways I think she likes that Ravenclaw in her year Adam Francese."

"So are you lowering the big ego status," Lily asked hopeful.

James thought for a moment then finally said "Yeah."

Lily smiled.

"I'm probably going to be single for a long time before I can find someone for a long-term thing or a real person who will want to know me."

"After I'm dumped people wait a week before they ask me out but I'm not sure it is vise versa," Lily said.

They sat and talked for a while until they both fell asleep on opposite ends of the couch.
