Thanks to all of my reviewers! I heart you.

James who was stretched leisurely in the compartment rolled his eyes while the fuming sighs continued from Lily's mouth. "You think I planned this mouse?" He draped an arm casually across his leg, a small smirk played on his lips.

"Male whores shouldn't be able to make good marks!" She hissed it, her eyes locked on his and an eyebrow arched, her arms remained crossed against her chest.. which seemed to be grabbing James eyes from time to time. Noticing this she glared at him harder. "See something you like, Potter?"

"Don't flatter yourself." He smirked but his eyes turned to the scenery going by as the train continued its trip to the school.

Slightly miffed by this she fell silent, yet the glare remained, watching him before muttering. "Asshole.."

"You kiss your mother with that mouth?" He was amused by this situation; it didn't seem to take much to rile her up, the snob.

She made no comment to that, she just got up and walked out her red hair flying behind her as if it was banner.

Lily let out another frustrated sigh, Tessa giggled before taking another bite of a pumpkin pastry. The sorting had been done and everyone was about to head back to their dormitories, tomorrow was the first day of classes.

"Now Lils, you behave yourself tonight. I know James Potter is sexy, but-"

"Tessa!" Lily practically choked on her pumpkin juice, eyebrows raised and a look of disgust on her face. "Like I would like trash like him touch me!"

"Well.. I would lower my 'standards' for Sirius.. or even Remus." Courtney wheedled, a wink given to Sirius who had his attention grabbed when the girls mentioned his name a bit down the table. Tessa giggled again and even Lily had to smile.

Soon students were filing out however, and the Gryffindors followed example, except Lily had to separate from her friends to her dorm, she gave a small smile. God she was tired. "'Night you guys.. see you at breakfast."

"No snogging!" Courtney chirped in a singsong voice as they continued to their dorms. Lily rolled her eyes and stopped in front of the statue for the Head boy and girl room.

"Hershey's Kisses" She said, slightly amused by the password Dumbledore himself had given her and James earlier. The stature opened and she walked in, her frustration and tired state leaving as soon as she seen her new dorm.

The entrance hall had a coat closet and even this Lily found wonderful. The common room was done in a soft white carpet, topped with grey and black furniture. A fireplace in the centre, they even had shelves of books from all sorts.

"Bet you can't wait to drool over those books, mouse." The voice came from behind her and she spun around, James and the Marauders were there, grinning those cocky grins they had form ear to ear. She had to admit they were good looking.

"Actually, I was just thinking of what it would be like if James Potter woke up the next morning neutered." She said it a bit brightly, a hidden meaning. Yes, if he didn't stop his cocky acts and games she would personally take a pair of scissors and do every girl in this school a favour.

"Ouch. James, you're not going to let her wear the pants in this relationship are you?" Remus flopped over one of the silver chairs, his legs dangling over the edge, a lopsided grin on his face.

"Nah.. I don't want her to wear any pants at all." James leaned against the wall, eyebrow arched as he watched Lily intently, mouthing a tiger's growl to her.

"James!" Lily blushed furiously, she shook and gave a wave of dismiss to them, walking into her room and closing the door firmly. She heard laughs on the other side as she flopped over on her bed.

Her room was pretty impressive long drapes if crimson and her bed sheets were red silk as well. Yet her pillows were gold, yet before she could explore anymore of her room with her eyes she got up, heading to the bathroom connected to her room. What a surprise she got when she flung the door open.

There stood James, his shirt off and his jeans unbuckled, his green eyes locked on hers and he gave a smirk. "It's rude not to knock.."

She slammed the door shut and her blush had come back. Well no one warned her that they shared a bathroom! She heard the shower taps being fiddled with behind the door then the sound of pounding water. She blushed again as the half naked body of James came in her mind, his muscles were well defined, probably from all the quidditch he played, and the way his hair had hung loosely.. No! Bad Lily.. She erased all thoughts from the insufferable prat.

Yes, this year was definitely going to be different.
