The Head Boy

Lily opened her eyes and looked at the clock. Se squealed in delight when she saw the clock. The Hogwarts Express would be leaving in three hours! She would be returning to school for her last year and she was HEAD GIRL!!! Even Petunia's deadly glare that Lily received in thanks for waking her was not enough to dampen her spirit.

After a hurried breakfast, Mr. Evans helped Lily put her things in the car. Petunia sat on the front step, a scowl on her face. Lily and her parents were getting in the car when Mrs. Evans turned to look for her older daughter. "Petty, why are you wearing you pajamas still? Aren't you coming with us? You won't see your sister for almost a year!"

"No, I am not going. I can't say that I'm not happy to see her go away, but no WAY am I going to go to the station. There'll be more freaks like her at there!" She stuck her bony nose up into the air and entered the house, leaving her mother and father looking disappointed and her sister hurt. Sure, Lily was used to Petunia saying things like that, but that didn't mean that they didn't hurt.

The car ride was quiet. It took about an hour and a half to reach Kings Cross Station. When they arrived, Mr. Evans went to find a trolley for Lily's things. Lily was so excited that all thoughts of Petunia's snide remarks left her. She said goodbye to her parents on the muggle side of the platform, as they could not cross the barrier with her. After a few tears and one last hug, Lily entered Platform 9 ¾. The scarlet train was in front of her and smoke bellowed out of the top. All around her there were students saying farewell to their parents and moving their trunks onto the train.

Lily paused to watch for only a moment and then heaved her trunk towards the front of the train. As she was the Head Girl, she didn't need to worry about finding a place to sit on the train. There was a compartment just for her and whoever the Head Boy was to be that year. The letter that Lily had received had not said who would be the other Head Student, so she was curious about who would be in the compartment when she reached it.

When Lily opened the door into the Head Car, she let out a gasp. It was beautiful!!! She had been in the Prefect Car for meetings before, and that was nice, but this was ten times nicer!!! And bigger!!! The seats were made of velvet and there was a chessboard over in one corner. Across from it was a cart that had as many sweets on it as the one the lady brought around for students. She pulled out her robes and badge and change into them. She placed her trunk and other belongings away and then sat on one of the plush couches. She smiled, but then she noticed something.everything was red and gold! That meant that both Head Students had to be from Griffindor! Remus Lupin must be the Head Boy! True, he may not have been the person that Lily herself would have chosen to be a Head Student, but at least it wasn't Remus's best friend James Potter! Could you imagine if James were Head Boy! Ha!!!

Just then, the door to the compartment and in walked Remus Lupin, along with the other Marauders: James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew. Lily stood up to greet Remus and congratulate him. "Hi! How was your summer? Congrats on making Head Boy, Remus!"

"What do you mean? I'm not the Head Boy! Prongs here is! Sirius, Peter, and I are only here because of him!"

"You mean I have to deal with him all year! No Way!!!"

"You make it seem as though I want to work with you! Well, let me tell you, I DON'T!" James said.

"Fine! I'm going to find Frank. Don't break anything guys. I don't want to get into trouble for ruining the Head Car when I wasn't even in it for more than ten minutes!" Lily then turned and walked out the door to look for her boyfriend.

"Prongs, why do you act like such a jerk when Evans' around? We all know that you like her, why do you make her hate you?" Sirius said.

"What do you mean, I like her?! I hate Lily Evans! She's a jerk! How could I like her! Plus, she has a boyfriend! Frank Longbottom, remember?"

"Sure, Prongsie.whatever you say." Then they all went quiet. Each boy knew that Sirius was right; James did like Lily, he just didn't know what to do about it. She would never like him.
