made up though.
Chapter 4: The First Head Meeting
"Welcome back to Hogwarts!" Professor Dumbledore, the Headmaster, said. "Now that the new students have been sorted and we have all been fed, I have some announcements to make. First of all, I would like to remind you that the Forbidden Forest is forbidden, hence its name. That would be directed to you, Mr. Black." Dumbledore said with a smile. "I would also like to present to you our new Head Boy and Girl. This year, the Head Boy is James Potter." Dumbledore was forced to pause as the student body erupted in cheers. "And the Head Girl is Lily Evans." Once again, applause sounded, though not as overwhelmingly. I would like to speak to both Mr. Potter and Miss Evans after the others are dismissed in my office. Prefects, make sure that the new first years are led back to the common rooms. Thank you, that will be all."
There was a scraping of chairs as the students stood up and made to leave the Great Hall. Lily and James made their way out of the hall and turned the opposite direction than their fellow Gryffindors. They stood waiting next to the gargoyle that was the entrance to the Headmaster's office, as they did not know the password. A moment later, Dumbledore walked up behind them.
"Sorry to keep you two waiting. I will require just a few minutes of your time." The old man said with a smile.
"Not at all sir." Lily said. "I don't mid at all."
"Teacher's pet" James hissed into Lily's ear. Dumbledore acted as though he had not heard, but Lily saw the corners of his beard twitch in a slight smile and wink at her. Lily's frown at James turned into a smile at the Headmaster.
The three walked up the staircase and entered the office. "Take a seat," Dumbledore offered. The two Head Students sat in armchairs across from the desk. "I want both of you to know that I thought about your appointments to Head Boy and Girl for a very long time. I know that you don't get along, but I know that both of you are strong enough people to put aside your differences and work together. As a way for you to become closer, I have arranged a separate common room and dormitory for you. The common room is located behind the painting of the mermaid in the Prefect's bathroom. The password is Pine Sap. I think that is all for now. Why don't you both head off to bed now. Your trunks have already been brought up to your rooms."
Both Lily and James said thank you to Professor Dumbledore and left the office. They headed to the Prefects' bathroom and made there way into their own common room. The room was all decorated in red and gold. There were enough couches and chairs for both Lily and James to have their respective friends to fit comfortably. On the left there was a door leading into a room with a king sized bed. The ways and everything else in the room were a pale yellow color. Opposite from this door was a room just like it with everything in a dark blue. Their trunks were at the foot of their beds and pajamas were laid out on a chair next to their desks. Lily headed into the yellow room without looking back at James, who cleared his throat loudly and said, "Good night to you too, Evans!" He turned on his heel and headed into his own room, slamming the door closed.
Both teenagers leaned back against their doors and wondered why James had to be such an ass sometimes. Lily was thinking that he wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't so haughty, and James was thinking about why he couldn't get Lily to notice him, despite his attempts to show off. Neither could understand why they always fought.
With a sigh, they each crossed their rooms and laid down. They were asleep almost as soon as their heads hit the pillow. It had been a frustrating day for both of them.
AN: What did you think? Review!!!!!!!! Sorry I skipped the Sorting, but I didn't want to make up the names of all the first years.
