sorry, uploaded wrong chapter! i've changed it now, this was supposed to be the 3rd.

The next morning Lily woke up bright and early. She jumped out of bed, and went into the common room that her and James shared in the Head's dormitory. Lily walked to the window and looked out on the grounds of Hogwarts. Back here for another year . . . and then what? She began to sing softly to herself, something she did all the time, something that her old roommates had had to get used to.

"What the fuck are you singing at 6 AM, Evans?" James hollered, as he stumbled out of his room.

Lily turned to face the first-thing-in-the-morning, grumpy James. His hair was all messed, his eyes still sleepy. He was wearing only boxer shorts and Lily saw hair starting to grow on his muscley chest.

James looked back at Lily, at her first-thing-in-the-morning glory. Her hair had not been brushed yet, but it still sat nicely around her face, her features were without make-up and she was wearing purple ducky pyjamas.

"Well, Evans?" James demanded.

"Sorry," Lily said softly, turning away and going to have a shower.

"Don't ignore me, Evans!" James yelled after her, as he went to answer a knock on the door. It was Sirius, who he invited in.

"I didn't fucking ignore you, Potter!" Lily yelled from the bathroom.

Sirius rolled his eyes.

"Well what the fuck was it then?" James yelled back.

"In my field of paper flowers . . ." Lily began singing, but soon enough her voice was drowned out by the sound of the shower.

"So, Sirius?" James asked, sitting down on the couch.

"Just came to see your new dorm."

"Great, isn't it. Shame i have to share it with the shrew!"

Sirius rolled his eyes again. "Just admit it, Prongs, you want her badly."

"No, i fucking don't. She makes me so angry!"

"There's a fine line between love and hate, Prongsy." Sirius sniggered at him.

"Well, I'm definitely on the hate side."

"Whatever you reckon. Anyway, about my little problem here . . ."

"What little problem?"

"My little problem with the shrew's friend."

"Which one?"

"Dana." Sirius said just as Lily was walking back to her bedroom from the shower. Lily stopped and walked into the common room, holding her robe tightly around herself. They hadn't noticed she was there yet.

"What's the prob?"

"Well, just cos i fucking made out with her, now she thinks we're some kind of an item. I was just kissing her! Now she's attached to me. All last night it was 'Sirius this, Sirius that'."

"Well maybe you shouldn't fuck around with her," Lily said.

Sirius and James turned towards her.

"What do you mean, Evans?" Sirius asked.

"What i mean is this – girls tend to think when you make out with them that you have feelings for them! Besides, Dana has been in love with you for, like, ever – oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!! Let's just forget I said anything!" lily turned away and walked back towards her bedroom.

"What did you say, Evans?"

"Nothing, nothing, nothing!" Lily said, getting changed in her bedroom.

"EVANS!"

"BLACK!"

"YOU GUYS WANNA SHUT THE FUCK UP IN THERE!" came a voice from outside the dormitory.

"SORRY!" Lily yelled.

"SORRY!" Sirius yelled.

"SORRY!" James yelled.
