James got up the next morning. No-on else was awake yet so he went down to
the Great Hall on his own. The only other person on the hall was lily. He
went and sat down next to her. Then he helped himself to some beans on
toast.
'Hello' said Lily.
'Hi' said James.
'They did not take it that well did them, huh?'
'Not even Sirius understands. My lives ruined. At the start of term when I had received the letter I thought being a Head would earn me some more respect. At the moment it's just laugh cause James is so funny'
'So, do you know where the 'Prefects and Heads bathrooms are?' he added.
'Oh yeah' said lily. 'When you get to the Entrance Hall turn right and keep walking until you see the statue of Wendelin the weird. The password is um, ah...I don't know but I'm sure you can find out' she said with a smile.
'Oh and when you do, please tell me, I'm dying for a bath'.
After James had finished his breakfast he went back to the entrance Hall and carefully followed Lily's instructions. When he reached the statue he took out his Map and saw the minute figure labeled 'James Potter' take out his wand and mutter[I] 'Apple Pie'[/I]. James repeated this and opened the door that had suddenly appeared. His first thoughts on the bathroom were 'wow'. There was a gigantic pool in the middle, 4 cubicles to the left and taps of every sort running down the length of the pool. He went to get changed in the cubicle and got into the pool wearing only his swimming trunks. Then he started experimenting with the taps. He was starting to like being Head Boy.
The great Hall soon started to fill up and Sirius came and sat down next to Lily. 'Um, Lily. I wanted to ask you last night but there were too many people. Is James Head Boy?' 'What do you think?' replied lily. 'Well it seems to me, but it can't he isn't really Head Boy?' said Sirius. 'You better believe it' replied Lily. At that moment the New Transfiguration teacher came down the Gryffindor table handing out their new time tables. Lily took her hers and examined it carefully. 'Oh no, our first lesson is with Slytherin, I hoped we'd have Care of Magical Creatures without them for once.' She said to no-one in particular. 'Ah, Miss Evans you wouldn't mind giving James his timetable when you see him' said professor McGounagall. 'No need Prof. Here he comes himself'. Lily looked up from her timetable to see James striding into the Hall. His hair was wet and the Hall immediately went silent as he walked over to the Gryffindor table. 'The password is Apple Pie' whispered James to lily as went to get his timetable. Then he went back out to go and get his books.
As James made his way down towards the start of his first lesson, he was followed by whispers of all sorts. Girls whispered excitedly as he passed. 'Oh my God is that him?' 'Who' 'The new Head Boy' 'The tall one with black hair and a.handsome body?' 'Yes' 'Oh my God he is so cute',' why is he walking alone?' 'Beats me' 'Do you think I should go talk to him?' He hoped dearly that one of these girls will summon up the guts to talk to him, as none of the boys did and he still hadn't seen Sirius. He heard footsteps behind him. He turned round. It was Lily. 'Oh, Hi' said James. There was an awkward silence. 'So' said lily. 'Care of Magical Creatures next' 'Yes' 'Do you mind if I walk with you, it's just I can't see Todd or Janet', added Lily. James eyes lit up as he heard her say Janet. 'Yes, sure' he said as the first smile in days appeared on his face. It was remarkable how it changed his appearance. And especially if it was pointed at you, you couldn't help but notice it. Then they went through the front gates talking and heading over the grass to the Care of Magical Creatures Class.
When they came to the class there were already numerous amounts of people waiting on the grass outside. Most of them from Gryffindor but there one or two Slytherins. James was glad Snape wasn't here yet. Lily spotted Janet and headed over to her. They talked for about a minute before Professor Vildewick arrived. He was holding an assortment of chains and collars, each in turn connected around the neck of small 'elephants'. 'Hello every one. Today we will be working with Nalliphants'. 'These are very dangerous so take care when feeding them. But he was cut off as the most of the class burst out laughing. 'Believe me they are dangerous for numerous reasons. Does anyone of you know what?' To everyone's surprise James's hand went into the air. He never used to answer any questions in class (that was because he and Sirius were usually in discussion over a small piece of parchment but today he was alone and Remus, Sirius and Peter were talking on their own a small distance away from James). 'Yes, James' 'Those tusks on the front are very sharp and have and acidic mixture that the Nalliphant can squirt out. It is especially harmful to us humans and is usually used to free its tusk from a tree if it ever gets stuck'. 'Yes, well done James, 5 points to Gryffindor'. The whole class was impressed; neither of them had known that. Only Snape seemed to find something bad to say. 'Oh, Mr. Head Boy Sir, you're oh so clever, will you teach me to do that?' he added before the whole of the Slytherins burst out laughing. Professor Vildewick didn't notice. Then something totally uncalled for happened. '5 points from Slytherin for insulting the Head Boy', said lily. 'And anything else and it will be more, Snape'. This did indeed wipe the smile off Snape's face, and James was (there is no other word to describe it) impressed.
The lesson soon ended and James was eager to confront Lily. He spotted her walking on her own back to the castle for lunch. 'Gee, thanks a bunch Lil, really, but I could have handled him on my own. After all I am Head Boy, I can do what I want' said James a smile appearing on his face. Lily hadn't heard anyone call her 'Lil' before and it came as a bit of a shock, but she let it go. 'Sure' she said walking off with James to the Great hall for Lunch. As soon as they entered the hall Lily spotted Todd and went to sit with him at the Hufflepuff table. James sat on his own near the end of the Gryffindor table. He quickly finished his lunch then he went out of the Great Hall. He had nothing else to do so he headed over to the library to make a start on his homework. When he entered the Library he took an empty seat overlooking the lake. It was only then that he realized he did not have any Homework so he started reading the book that Sirius had given him for Christmas (Advanced Charms and Hexes). Though James was never really seen in the Library he did read a lot and he was one of the top pupils in the school. But his previous reputation had given him a lot of popularity and now he was the good, clever and handsome Head Boy. He had only got to the 2nd Chapter when the Bell rang signaling the start of his next lesson, Transfiguration. He was eager to attend this lesson as Transfiguration was his favorite class. Mainly due to the fact that he was an illegal Animagi, called Prongs. Oh, he missed his friends. They too were Animagi, and it was due to one of them that he even became one. Moony, Wormtail and Padfoot were his names for them. Oh, he missed them. Especially Padfoot.
