Chapter 4: Welcome Back

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Tell me about it." Bree replied, "Come on lets get a carriage."

We headed to the horse-less carriages that will take us up to the school for the Welcome Feast. Bree and I shared and carriage with Katie and Ashley.

We talked all the way up to the castle about everything. When we got there we all headed to the Great Hall. The blur of people separated into four groups: Gryfinndor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytheran.

I sat down across from Bree and next to Katie, Michelle, and Ashley. They were great friends. Bree was my best friend ever but they were my other best friends. We started talking waiting for the new batch of first years to come in and get sorted into the separate houses. By the time the last name was called everyone was starved. Dumbledore stood up and the hall went silent.

"Welcome. I know everyone is hungry so lets eat!" with that all the plates filled with food. Everyone ate happily. In the middle of dinner I glanced down the table to see who was new. I caught James eye and glared.

"God he is so annoying." I said out loud.

"Who?" Katie asked.

"James Potter." I said sternly.

"I think he's kind of cute." Michelle replied.

"In a stupid sort of way." Bree said, "Anyway the only sort of cute one is Sirius."

"I like Sirius too, and Remus, and Ricky." Katie added.

"Well your just in love with everyone aren't you Katie?" I asked her. She giggled. She has a cute laugh. I smiled.

"I heard Natalie Bleming's likes Peter. Ew," Ashley said joining into the conversation.

"Gross," we all replied together.

The rest of the meal we talked about boys, school, boys, make up, boys, and boys. By the time the feast was over we were all well fed and full. As the plates were clearing off and looking shiner than before Dumbledore stood up to say some last words.

"Now as everyone knows the Forbidden Forest is out of bounds to everyone," he glanced over at the Marauders, "and there is no magic in between the corridors of course. Also our new Head Girl for this year is Lily Evans. Please stand up. Good Good. Your new head boy is," Snape stood up and everyone laughed, "James Potter," Dumbledore finished. The look on Snape's face was priceless. But I still couldn't believe that they did that to him! He was so embarrassed. But my thoughts were interrupted as Dumbledore continued, "Please see your Prefect for the new passwords for the dormitories. I need to speak with the head boy and girl too. Good night everyone!"

The hall started to empty quickly as students started going to the dormitories. I started heading up to the teachers' table when James came up next to me and elbowed me.

"Oops sorry, babe," he grinned and I elbowed him back. All the way up to the teachers table James and I elbowed each other.

Little did we know that all of our friends were watching.

"They are so flirting," Bree said to Katie, Ashley, and Michelle.

"Tell me about it," Katie replied.

"Tell me about it." A familiar voice appeared behind us. Sirius, Remus, and Peter were all watching us with opened mouths.

"They are going to get married I'm telling you," Sirius said.

"Yea they are." Remus responded.

"What do you mean? Lily hates James," Michelle said.

"Yea she does now. But you just wait. They may not admit it but they like each other. What do you say we just put these love birds into gear?" Sirius asked slyly.

"Yea," Peter and Remus replied instantly.

"That is so wrong.and I am so in," Bree added.

"Same for us," Katie, Michelle, and Ashley responded.

"Hello Miss Evans and Mr. Potter."

"Hello Professor."

"Hey."

"Now since you are Head Boy and Girl you will be having a lot of responsibility. You will take turns with the Prefects patrolling the school. You will do it everyone Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. So Mr. Potter since you are Quidditch captain I advise making practices say Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Something like that. You will also be helping will all the upcoming dances. You also help decide whose detention is with whom and where. Also you may take points off houses. But I do not want you favoring your house. Understood?"

"Yes Professor."

"Yeah."

"Well from the looks of things you two do not get along very well. I'm sorry but your going to have to set aside your differences because you will be deciding a lot of things together. Have a great night."

We were heading back to Gryfinndor tower, sadly, together. "Great. This is all peachy. I have to be with you."

"Yes you do." He said smiling, "Lil, why do you hate me so much and why wont you go out with me?"

He asked this suddenly. Well duh you idiot butthead its so obvious why I hate you.I cant believe why he cant see this. Guys are so slow.

"Well where do I begin? Your rude, you think you can have anyone you want, your ego is about the size of the sun, and you're annoying," maybe he'll leave me alone now. But he still didn't get it did he? He just stood there looking at me with those big hazel eyes, "Shall I go on?" I added cockily.

"Just leave it there I heard enough." He looked kind of, well, hurt.

"Lily all I have to say is we have to do a lot together so please just get along with me?" James gave me this look. I like it. It was so cute. Oh my god, what is wrong with me?

"You have to get along with me." I stopped in the halls, "I'm not the problem here. You're the annoying rude idiot."

He just looked at me. Jeez say something you weirdo was all I wanted to say. I walked closer and looked into his eyes. This time I stayed my distance but he walked closer to me so we were once again about five inches apart. I wish he would say something was all that was going through my mind.

"Lily!" Thank God Bree's here.

"Hey Bree," I gave James one last look then turned away, "Just on my way back to the common room. Where are you off to?"

"To find you. Was I interrupting something?" I gave her a look that was like what do you think you are saying? "You know any Head Boy/Girl stuff?" she added quickly.

"Nope nothing at all." I replied with relief. Bree was not going to start giving in that I was alone with James. No way.

"Here I have your charm." She handed me a little charm.

"Thanks. When we get upstairs I'll give you yours." I told her taking my bracelet off my wrist.

"Charm?" James asked. Who invited him into this conversation?

"Uh yea. For our charm bracelet. We always get each other charms at start of term." I told him taking an extra link on and pocketing it. I am saving all of the extra links to start another one. I looked down at the one she got me. It was a Lily, "Ah thanks Breez. I love it!" I said adding it.

"Can I see?" James asked.

"Um sure why not?" I handed him the braclet and he examined it.

"Very interesting." He said looking at it closely.

"Um it's just a braclet." Bree said while he handing it back to me.

"Well let's go Breezy. Night James."

"Night," he replied but he didn't go anywhere he just stood there. I flipped my hair and looked around my shoulder and saw James in a different light. Not necessarily a good light just a different light. Maybe it was because he was standing under a light. I don't know what it was but there was light involved.

We went up to the girls' dorm and I gave Bree her charm, a charm with moon and I star on it. She loves moons and stars. After she added it on we changed into our pajamas and fell straight to sleep. Classes start tomorrow.
