"Where is that Head Boy?! He should've been here 10 minutes ago!" Lily shouted angrily, to no one in particular. "The letter didn't mention who it was though...but I'm pretty sure Remus would've been chosen... I mean he was the Gryffindor prefect last year...and the year before that-"
"No need to get all worked up just to see me, Evans." A low voice came from the door.
'Oh dear lord. I can recognize that voice even if I was underwater...'
"Potter?!"
A tall young man with the most gorgeous twinkling hazel eyes and a playful smirk appeared, leaning on the compartment door. His hair went all directions giving him that soft puppy look that just got out of bed. A pair of wire glasses hung loosely on the tip of his nose that added more to his sex appeal.
"..." Lily gaped as she looked over the very well built body of a certain cockhead. "N-N-NO! Dumbledore must've made a mistake!"
Just as he was about to open his mouth to retort Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall whisked into the compartment.
"Good morning, Ms. Evans, Mr. Potter. Please follow me..."

"Um... Professor Dumbledore?"
"Yes, Ms. Evans?"
"Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"
"Mistake? In what way dare I ask?"
"The...choice...of ... Head Boy." She stammered.
"Ahh, Evans don't be so cruel." James smiled flirtatiously. She was gorgeous. Sitting opposite of him with the wind from the open window blowing on her face, frowning yet smiling at the same time. Her flaming red hair had soft orange highlights to tame the fieriness. Her eyes locked on his and he felt shivers down his spine.
'Those brilliant emerald green eyes... always so captivating.'
"Ms Evans. I find that Mr. Potter has...er...some grand traits that qualify him to be a Head Boy."
"Oh the flattery." Lily muttered in disgust.
"Did you say something Evans?" James inquired.
"No."
"Thought so."
"AHEM. If you would kindly hold off your superbly interesting conversation until later, we have Head duties to discuss..." Professor McGonagall interrupted tersely.
"Now you know Head duties are very important, and requires responsibility. Can you promise me you won't slack off during this term?" Both of them nodded in unison.
"Also, there is a special dormitory for the Heads. It is a secret tower in the West, and there you will find a painting with two dragons entwined. The password is "Medusa "until further notice. You will share the dormitory and treat it as you would at home. Any questions?"
"Yes, Professor McGonagall, do we have separate bedrooms?"
"Now that defeats the whole purpose doesn't it Evans?" James teased. Somewhere inside her head, a vein surely popped, but for now, she'll keep her anger in check, just because there's teachers around.
"Potter- there will be separate bedrooms." Professor McGonagall sniffed disapprovingly.
"But up to you if you wish to keep it that way..." Professor Dumbledore chuckled quietly.
"And also, the Quidditch match will be held same time as last year. I expect another trophy in my office Potter." McGonagall added before walking away.

Incoming and returning students was herded into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry into the thick walls of the enchanted castle.
"First years please step up to the front, please." Professor McGonagall's voice rang out through the Great Hall.
"Appleberry Tucker!"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Austin Jill!"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"and finally... Zanichelli Kimberley."
"RAVENCLAW!" the hat shouted. The Ravenclaw heads cheered and hooted as the little girl with raven black hair stumbled her way towards the table grinning meekly.
"Now that the Sorting is over, let the feasting begin!" Dumbledore proclaimed.
Food started appearing before their eyes and the noise level rose up again.
"How was your summer Lily?" her best friend Grace asked as she lathered gravy on her steaming mashed potatoes.
"Same as always. Boring...with Petunia nagging me. She's always talking about running off and getting married so she would get away from me and this family. I think her wish finally came true." Lily said nonchalantly with food in her mouth.
"She found a boyfriend?"
"Yeah, and they're engaged already. Seems like I'm not welcome at their wedding..."
"Now a Head Girl would swallow before speaking, I prefer my girlfriends with manners and etiquette please." James said cockily as he eyed the ravishing redhead across from him.
"Who said I wanted to be your girlfriend Potter? I'll do what I please, thank you."
"Don't be coldhearted now Evans. There's plenty of time to get acquainted later..." he said provocatively. Lily just glared at him without breaking her eating pace.
'Hmm...better than before. Now she's not hexing me, maybe this year will prove to be interesting...'
"Prongs! Get your ass over here! Why'd you run off somewhere else for huh? Abandoning your best mates now?" Sirius strode over and plopped between James and the person next to him. Remus followed suit.
"Lily, how are you? Did you have a good summer?" Remus's pleasant voice protruded her violent vengeful thoughts about a certain someone right across from her as she tried to shoot the dirtiest looks at him.
"Remus! Hey, I'm fine. My summer? It was relatively interesting..." Lily looked down on her plate and started eating rapidly again ignoring her flushing cheeks.
"Excuse my announcement please. I just want to say a few words before you guys finish up. The new Head Girl and Boy are Ms. Lily Evans of Gryffindor and Mr. James Potter of Gryffindor. Please come to my office after this announcement. Thank you, enjoy the rest of your meal and good night."
"I wonder what's going on?"
