A/N: Here's another chappy...hope you like it! Please review--I need at least three reviews for this chapter (or my first chapter) to add more!! PLEASE REVIEW!!! :) Okay, on with the story.
Disclaimer: You know the drill. Recognize it--it's JKR's. Don't--it's mine. For the song lyrics, they were found off of
My new characters (last time I'm posting this part)
Vanessa McKinnon: Brown hair, brown eyes, more of an outcast, very nice, will NOT take any crap from anyone, Lily Evans' best friend, likes Sirius Black's looks but will not get in bed with him so he has to change if he likes her.
Danielle 'Dani' Prewitt: Black hair with red highlights, brown eyes, Lily Evans' other best friend, likes Remus Lupin. Another outcast, but she is not easily manipulated. She manipulates people very well though.
Selene Shogirl: VERY VERY PREPPY, blonde hair blue eyes, will do anything to annoy Lily and Vanessa, popular girl, obsessed with James Potter--but can't win him over.
Chapter Two: Duties
Upon her arrival at Hogwarts, Lily tapped a sleeping James on the shoulder.
"We have to go, Potter."
"Alright Lily, I'll be right there," he said, and Lily tried to hide her surprise. He called me Lily!? I thought I was Evans!
Dumbledore called both Lily and James up to the table at the feast post-the sorting.
"You two will be sharing your own dorm. It's on the third floor, behind the portrait of the student studying. Password's 'Appareo Puerta'. Every night you two must patrol the halls together for three hours, from eight o'clock to eleven o'clock. We will also be having a Christmas ball this year along with the Graduation ball for only seventh years that are graduating. You two must organize these, along with the Hogsmeade trips. We can only have up to six, so space them wisely--such as a Halloween, a Christmas, a Valentine's Day, an Easter, and an end of year--that's the normal, you see."
Lily was stunned. She had to share a dorm with James Potter, Mr. I-Can-Get-Any-Girl-Into-Bed. As they left to go see their dorm, James seemed to have been thinking the same thing--in a different context though of course. He's giving me the chance to get Lily where I have gotten almost every other girl in the damn school. He's making a huge mistake. Maybe he saw that I changed.
"Anyway, Potter, don't expect anything from me," said Lily, and James smiled back.
"My mind used to wander there, but it no longer does. I changed over the summer, and I like my new self." I changed completely for you, did you know that? he thought, but shook his head.
As they approached the portrait, Lily smiled, saying the password. The portrait's book showed up and the words read 'Head Boy and Girl Common Room. Place badge in slot to proceed.'
A slot opened up, and Lily took her badge, letting the icon scan it. Then the portrait hole opened, showing a common room as big as the Gryffindor one, with one set of stairs going up to the left and one to the right.
On the right there was a sign above the stairs saying 'Head Girl Bedroom' and above the left stairs it said 'Head Boy Bedroom'.
"I'll see you later then," said Lily, going up her stairs to her room, leaving James looking upset and heartbroken.
James called her downstairs not five minutes later, telling her they should begin to plan at least the Christmas Ball 'now'. Lily decided there was nothing better to do (classes started the following week, it was Saturday now) so she sat down on the couch opposite him.
"What were you thinking of for this ball?" James asked her.
"Maybe a Masquerade," said Lily, and James' face lit up.
"I actually like that idea!"
Wow, we're getting along. This is a side of him I've never seen before, thought Lily.
Getting along with Lily. That's a start. Now I just have to make her see what she means to me, thought James. They caught each others' eyes and laughed.
"You have the most gorgeous eyes, you know that?" said James, smiling.
"No I don't. Now since we already know what to do for the ball I must be going, since we start duties tomorrow. Night," said Lily, stomping off.
Lily was tired of hearing about her 'gorgeous eyes' from all the guys. She was told it at least once a day by a different boy, which annoyed the hell out of her.
As the first few days went by, James could never talk to Lily, as she ignored him. She had marked him as ordinary--he used the same line as all the other guys did to try and win her heart. She began to sing songs in her head that she had heard on the Muggle radio. She actually decided to write down the lyrics and see which of her favorite songs would fit her life best. The only songs she knew the lyrics to were "Don't Tell Me" by Avril Lavigne, "No Scrubs" by TLC, "Scandalous" by Mis-Teeq, and "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera.
"Don't Tell Me" was her song for James. He had tried to advance on Vanessa the previous year, but it hadn't worked out as he had wanted.
She dubbed "No Scrubs" as her song for the moment--she didn't limit the guys by how rich they were (or Lucius Malfoy and James Potter would be at the top of the list) even though all the other girls did (except herself and her friends).
"Scandalous" was the song she matched with Selene Shogirl, as the girl would do anything to get the guys to notice her--even take off clothes or sleep with him. "Dirrty" also would fit Selene.
And "Fighter", being more of a breakup song, didn't fit in much with her life.
Suddenly there was a knock on her dorm door.
