It was another year of Hogwarts. The noises of chattering students,
screeching owls and luggage being heaved off the train were heard. Lily
stepped off the train and her eyes glistened as she laid her eyes on the
castle before her.
"It really feels like home."
As she turned away to unload her belongings, five figures sauntered towards her, and then they broke into a run. Sirius plunged onto her back and embraced Lily. Startled, Lily whirled around to find five smiling companions next to her; Sirius, James, Remus, Alice and Peter.
"How was summer?" asked Remus serenely, his tired eyes twinkling.
"Good, although I'll have to say Petunia was certainly not the highlight of my summer. You wouldn't believe how tactless she is," responded Lily, grinning slightly. Lily was beaming. She was finally back at Hogwarts, where magic happens all around, and the reunion of her closest friends made her exuberant.
Sirius and Alice headed off in the other direction, meeting other friends, while Remus went to discuss about his schedule with Professor McGonagall.
"So," said a boy with untidy black hair, glasses, and a cheeky grin. "Lily's Head Girl. Excited?"
"Overwhelmed! I wonder whose Head Boy," exclaimed Lily, tugging at her luggage.
A broad grin was shown over James' face.
"You? James Potter; Head Boy? What has Dumbledore been taking?" said Lily, stifling a chuckle.
"Ha. Ha. Funny, Evans. You think I'm not fully capable of having this significant responsibility?" retorted James.
"That's precisely what I'm thinking," responded Lily with a smug look on her face, laughing. "Oh sure, James Potter being Head Boy by teaching 1st years how to plant dung bombs in classrooms and incantations for persistent burping. This is going to be a productive year."
Crowds of students headed off towards the Great Hall, chattering happily. Sirius, Remus and Peter ran to catch up with Lily and James. They all sat down at the Gryffindor table, waiting patiently for Dumbledore's speech and Sorting Ceremony to end. Soon, sumptuous food appeared before their eyes and then there were sounds of forks and spoons clinking on dishes.
"Fifty points from Slytherin for being daft, small-minded gits. Ah, yes. Music to my ears," exclaimed James, smiling slyly. Sirius chuckled merrily.
"James! This responsibility as Head Boy is not to be solely used as your own benefit! You're going to incense the Slytherins for your pompous behavior and - " shouted Lily.
"English, please," interrupted James.
Lily groaned, while everyone guffawed.
"There's no point in lecturing him, Lily. He knows his responsibility. Don't be concerned when we educate the young ones with our knowledge of mischief," said Sirius nonchalantly. "Kidding," Sirius added when Lily opened her mouth in order to protest.
Once the feast was over, the food disappeared and the dishes were clear and fully cleaned. Dumbledore bid the students to bed, who were fully fed and exhausted. Sirius, James, Lily, Remus, Alice and Peter headed back Gryffindor Tower and into their dormitories, not knowing that there would be tension between each other soon.
A/N: First Chapter! I'd appreciate if you would review this story and tell me what you think of it! There are going to be problems between the friends in the story and this is mainly a Lily and James, love/hate story.
