Chapter Two
The Great Hall was filled with the chatters of newly sorted and old Hogwarts students. The headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, stood up" To all first years and other years." Dumbledore looked over to the Marauders with a twinkle in his eye," .The Forbidden Forest is off limits. As it is a new year I would like to introduce you to this years Head Boy and Girl, Miss Lily Evans and Mr. James Potter". The Great Hall erupted into applause. Lily and James both stood up. Lily looked over to James, who gave her a lopsided grin. Her eyes threw daggers at him and thought to her self, 'Oh God, this year is going to be a nightmare working with James.' They both sat down.
" Tuck in!" Dumbledore said merrily. Lily looked at the plates in front of her that magically filled with all sorts of delicious food. She reached over and stabbed a steak with her fork.
" It is great to be home!" Aidian stated happily as she ladded mashed potatoes onto her plate.
" Yeah, it really is" answered Lily.
****
Lily lain down on her bed in Gryffindor tower and was thinking about the days events. James' head kept swimming to the front of her mind. The expression he had on his face when Lily told him off. the face of confusion and surprise kept on flashing over her eyes. Lily smiled to herself thinking of his priceless complicated look.
*****
The next morning at breakfast everyone received his or her schedules. Lily looked down at hers:
9 o clock- Transfiguration
Lunch
1 o clock- Potions
" Oh joy! My two favorite subjects!" Lily said sarcastically to Skye. Even though Lily was taking all N.E.W.T. classes, Lily still didn't care much for potions and was not exactly outstanding in Transfiguration.
" Do not worry Lily. I am here for ya!" Skye said enthusiastically. Unlike Lily, Skye excelled in Transfiguration.
" I know, I know. If only I did not care what kind of job I get" Lily said with a sigh. Lily was taking as many N.E.W.T. classes as possible to keep her options open. She wanted to get a good job in the Ministry of Magic.
*****
The first couple of weeks flew by. Lily was having an extra burden along with her exhausting N.E. W.T. classes. Her Head Girl duties were taking its toll on the seventeen-year-old physically and mentally.
Head meetings with James were almost always unbearable (A/N: I know I hate this too, but it will all turn around). James was always there with his big ego trying to flirt and ask her out every second. 'God is he annoying', Lily thought to herself.
*****
Lily headed down to Transfiguration. Professor McGonagall was there as usual. Lily took her seat in between Skye and Aidian. McGonagall started informing her students that they will have to turn a sheet of parchment into a rabbit.
Lily looked down at her parchment; pointed her wand at it and muttered the incantation. The paper did not even flutter the slightest bit. Lily tried twice more, and twice more received the same results. absolutely nothing. Now getting frustrated she looked to her right for Skye but she was gone with Aidian helping two Hufflepuffs across the room. Lily glanced to the front of the room. The scene in front of her was chaotic! There were pieces of parchment flying in every direction possible and rabbits scurrying here and there.
A flustered McGonagall was trying to repair, what looked like a hole, in the bookshelf. A sullen looking Hufflepuff was standing next to her. Only in one corner nothing seemed wrong. The Marauders were sitting and talking amongst themselves, while lazily transforming their pieces of parchment into rabbits and back again.
Lily half shouted over the commotion" Professor, I think I need help!"
" Mr. Potter please assist Miss Evans!" McGonagall answered as she fixed the hole in the bookcase.
James got up and walked over to Lily. Lily had no choice but to let him help her, she had to get this right!
" Well hello my dear, Evans! I understand that you need my help transfiguring your piece of parchment into a rabbit" James said comically.
" Yes, Potter, I am afraid I do" Lily said sarcastically.
" It is simple really" James started, " You have think about what you want your parchment to change into, say the incantation, and there you have it. A rabbit. Same thing turning it back." James showed her the transfigured rabbit and then he turned it back into a piece of paper.
' I wonder how he is so good at everthing and still is arrogant. too bad he is not compassionate or I would have gone out with him along time ago.' Lily thought to herself.
Lily followed James's instructions and much to Lily's surprise a perfect white rabbit was sitting on the table.
" I did it!" Lily said contentedly, "Why thank you, Potter."
" Any time, Evans", James replied.
*****
As Lily was walking down the corridor to lunch with Skye and Aidian, she noticed something and stopped dead in her tracks.
" Lils, what is wrong?" Aidian asked concertedly. Skye turned around to face Lily.
" Oh my gosh, I do not believe it!" Lily said in awe.
" What?!?" Aidian and Skye said together.
" James Potter did not once ask me out in Transfiguration, and he came over and helped me and all." Lily said astonished. She walked passed the two befuddled girls and headed towards the Great Hall.
" I am guessing he either forgot, is crazy or is finally taking a hint", Skye told Aidian as they started after Lily.
" Skye, I think he is finally taking a hint", Aidian told Skye. Aidian wondered to herself,' James Potter must want Lily Evans really bad.but she is one tough lioness to tame.'
