Tomorrow a new school year started at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry. Everybody in the Potter Manor was fast asleep, everybody except
James Potter. He was listening to the snoring of his two best friends,
Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. Even though it was past midnight and James
was tired, he had been playing Quidditch with his friend all day, he just
couldn't sleep because a certain red head was on his mind. Lily Evans was
the only girl in school that didn't fall for James charms, and that girl
just happens to have really stolen James' hart.
~~~~~~
James couldn't remember when he had fallen asleep, but the next morning he was awoken by a pillow merting his head. When he looked up his hazel eyes met the deep blue ones of Sirius. He heard Remus having trouble not to burst in to laughing.
"Finely decided to wake up, have you?" James answered his question by hitting his pillow in Sirius face. Now Remus was laughing his head of, within a few seconds Sirius joined.
"What?" James felt his temper rising. It was Remus who answered. "You were dreaming about Lily!"
"Was not!"
"Then why were you muttering here name?" James felt he was blushing. This made Sirius laugh even more, but Remus suddenly became serious. "You really like here, don't you Prongs?" James just nodded. Sirius stopped laughing and looked at his friend.
He opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by James' mother. "Breakfast is ready boys." The raced down and wolfed down their food.
~~~~~~
After breakfast the three of them went back upstairs to chance. They had to hurry, it was almost half past 10 and the Hogwarts express would leave at 11. They had packed yesterday, so that was one thing less to worry about. It only took the boys 5 minutes to get down again, with their stuff. They would Apparate to platform 9¾, the Marauders, with the exception of Peter Pettigrew, had past their Apparation test this summer. Failing the test was the reason Peter hadn't been staying with the Potters, his parents had grounded him. The others had noticed they didn't mind. They had been rather annoyed with him for the past few months. They didn't know why, but the beginning to think he was a hanger-on.
~~~~~~
They soon found themselves on platform 9¾. After they had dumped there trunks in an empty compartment they exited (A/N: Is that a word? Well now it is!) the train and said there goodbyes and thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Potter. When a whistle was blown they got back in and the train left.
It was 1 o'clock, after the lady and here trolley full of sweets had left, that the compartment door opened and Peter entered. "You're late Wormtail."
"Hello to you to Padfoot."
"Oh, shut up and sit down, we got a prank to plan."
"Got something in mind Prongs?"
"I sure do Moony."
"That will have to wait Prongs. Aren't you suppose to be in the Head compartment to have a meeting whit the Head Girl and Prefects?" Remus and Peter looked at James.
"You're the new Head Boy?"
"Yeah, didn't I tell you? I got the letter just before you arrived Moony."
"Well, hurry up than. The Head Girl is probably waiting for you as we speak."
"See you guys later." James exited the Marauders compartment and headed to the beginning of the train (A/N: They were in the back). When he reached the Head compartment he opened the door and was looking at the red head who was always hunting his dreams.
"Evans, you're the new Head Girl?"
"Yes I am, Potter and will you kindly remove yourself from this compartment, only the Head Boy and Girl are allowed in here." James didn't answer and sat down.
"Potter get the hell out of here or I'll......"
"Or you'll what Evans? I have every right to be here just like you have and if you will kindly hurry up with this meeting, I need to get back to my friends, before Sirius eats all the candy."
"No, this can't be true"
"Fine then don't believe me, but than I'll be going now."
'He can't be Head Boy, Dumbledore must be crazy or something. What a minute, he IS crazy, so it must be true.' "Oke, I believe you, but I'm not happy with it."
James, who was already at the compartment door, turned around with a smirk on his face. When Lily saw this she rolled her eyes.
~~~~~~
After half an hour James finally returned to the rest of the Marauders. "Hé Prongs, we thought you decided to live there."
"Ha ha Padfoot, but I had to convince Evans that I was the new Head Boy."
"Evans is Head Girl?"
"Yeah"
"Oh forget about Evans, I want to hear that master prank of yours Prongs."
"Oke, listen closely...."
~~~~~~
In a compartment in the middle of the train Lily Evans meets her friend Arabella Figg.
"Hi Lily, what took you so long, we're almost at Hogwarts."
"Don't exaggerate Bella and it took me so long because I'm Head Girl and Potter had decided to show up half an hour ago."
"Potter is Head Boy, Dumbledore must be nuts."
"That's exactly what I thought, but than again, you can't call him normal either."
"Yeah, you're right, but Potter Head Boy. I mean, he is already Quiddith captain and leader of the Marauders. He must be even more arrogant than last year."
"To be honest he wasn't when we had the meeting. He didn't even mess up his hair"
"You're joking. James Potter who doesn't mess up his already messy jet- black hair."
"If I didn't know better I'd say you had a crush on Potter, Bella."
When Lily said that Arabella's face turned red.
"You do have a crush on him, don't you?"
"Please don't get mad Lily, I just can't help it. Have you ever seen his body? He is so cute and Quiddith does wonders to him."
Lily choose not to answer. Of course she knows how handsome James Potter was. She had no clue why she turned him down every time he asked her out and she never missed the hind of disappointment in his eyes, but he just had to learn that he could not get all the girls in school by being an airhead.
´But he looked like he deflated over the summer.'
"Earth to Lily, are you there?"
"What, did you say something?"
"Thinking of Potter? You do like him, don't you?"
"No, I don't and if you tell anyone I'll kill you."
"So you do like him."
"I didn't say that."
"Oh Lily stop denying it. He is head over heels, don't you see it in his eyes every time he asks you out?"
Lily bent her head. "I guess you're right, but I don't think he'll ask me out this year, he didn't ask me during our meeting."
"Of course he will Lily. Believe it or not, but he really loves you."
"You think so?"
"I know so Lily. He wouldn't give up on you for the world."
A smile appeared on Lily's face. For the rest of the ride the subject James Potter was carefully avoided.
~~~~~~
Finally the train arrived at Hogsmeade station.
"First-years!"
"Hi Hagrid!"
"Still here Black?"
"Our last year, bet you're gonna miss chasing us out of the forest."
"Don't worry I'll find something else to do James."
"Hé, why do you call Prongs by his first name and me by my surname?"
"Because he likes me better, that's why Padfoot."
They made their way to the horseless carriages, only they weren't horseless anymore.
"What kind of horses are that?"
"What do you mean Prongs? I don't see any horses around here."
"Well those black winged horses in front of the carriages."
"Black winged horses you say? I think that what you see are Thestrals, but that would mean you saw death."
While his friends were watching all the colour drained from James' face.
~~~~~~
"Look at James, what's wrong with him?"
Lily looked in the direction Bella was pointing and what she saw was terrifying (A/N: Well at least terrifying for her). James was deathly pale and was leaning on Sirius for support. The others looked startled, but helped James into the carriage.
Suddenly Bella took Lily's hand and dragged her to the carriage the Marauders were preoccupying.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Finding out what is wrong with James."
A/N: So what do you think? Because this is my first fic you are more than welcome to help me out. Like who do you think I should make James saw die and what to do to make Peter suffer (I hate him). Please mail or write it in a review.
