The rest of the train ride went smoothly, and to the guys' shock, when Snape, Malfoy, and Flint came by, they didn't so anything, on Snape's bidding and left them alone. Only Lily knew why, but she wouldn't tell them, no matter how much they bugged, and bugged her. They headed over to the carriages, and that's when Mundungus Fletcher, Arabella Figg, and Harley Trepen saved Lily. Lily was quick to climb into a carriage with the three of them, ditching the Marauders to their own carriage. "So Lily, why'd you look like you were in such a hurry to loose the guys?" Harley asked. "They were bugging me as to why, on the train, Snape didn't bother them while they were in a compartment with me." Lily said softly. She knew she could trust these three not to start bugging her about it they the Marauders did. "Okay. So Bella, what did you do over the summer?" Lily asked, and they all sighed as one, having been through it before, but everyone needed to know. The carriage ride was filled with talk about the summer, but when Lily told them about her summer, she omitted the part about staying at Sirius' for a few days. They reached the castle in what seemed like quicker time then usual, and the students started filling into the school, and into the great hall. Professor Kettleburn came up to Lily. "Congrats on becoming Head Girl Ms. Evans. The Headmaster needs to see you for a moment." "Of course Professor. Where is he?" "At the head table. He just needs a short word with you before the sorting ceremony." Lily nodded and moved from her friends and went straight the head table, in front of the headmaster. "Professor Dumbledore, you wished to speak to me sir?" "Yes Miss Evans. We just need to wait for the head boy. As yes, here he comes now. Mr. Kildare." Lily turned to see and old friend of hers that she had from first to third year. That year they had stopped being friends because she wouldn't date him. "Now as you both know you are obligated to get along. I know the history between the two of you. The word I wanted to have with you two is that there will be a meeting with the two of you, the prefects, and the staff late this evening. One prefect though is to stay behind for each house to keep on eye on the other students. Now as both of you are from different houses, I will expect word of the meeting to get to the Prefects fast. Jeffory I expect you to inform your own house, as well as Slytherin, Lily, your own house and Ravenclaw." The two of them nodded, and moved back to their own tables. "So Jeff's Head boy Lil?" asked Kevin Finnigan, who was also a sixth year Gryffindor and friend to the Marauders. "Yeah. How much does that suck?" No one could answer though as the sorting ceremony began. The Sorting Hat did its usual song, and Lily noticed some teary eyes 7th year girls mumble about how much they'll miss hearing that at the beginning of the year. By the end of the sorting ceremony, Gryffindor had 20 new first years, as did the rest of the houses, one of the largest class of first years Hogwarts has seen yet. The rest of the feast went as well as it always did. Dumbledore doing his usual welcome speeches, and forbidding students from wandering into Dungeons 21-30 anytime during the year. As soon as the feast was almost over, Lily went around to each prefect and told them about the meeting at midnight in the staff lounge. She then moved on to the Ravenclaw table and did the same. As she sat back down at her table, she noticed Jeff get up and do the same thing as she had just done. As she sat back down, James who was next to her poked her side.
