After the Sorting Ceremony, Remus headed over towards Lily and Theia.

"As you know, I'm a Prefect. I'll be staying in Gryffindor homeroom, though, if you need to find me. You're Head Girl, , so you get your own compartment and common room. I've been told to tell you you're password is Intrivinous Capona. Good luck." he said, and headed off.

"Um. Bye then...see you at the feast!" Theia said heading for the Gryffindor room.

"Bye." Lily said glumly. She didn't want to have her own headquarters, away from all her friends. But she wouldn't complain; Head Girl was an honor. She headed towards the portrait of Sir Cadogan. "Hi. I'm Lily Evans, Head Girl. Intrivinous Capona." she greeted.

"Such a lovely lass! Welcome!" roared Sir Cadogan, swinging on his hinges to allow Lily access. As soon as she entered, she drew a sharp intake of breath. The common room was beautiful! Black couches and chairs pointed towards a roaring fireplace. A lovely white carpet was all around, and Lily wondered how long it would stay so clean. The walls were a gleaming white, and two golden staircases loomed in front of her. One had pink steps, the other had blue. Liking pink better, Lily headed up the right staircase. She found a brown door, with her name on it. She opened it, and saw her new room.

"It's beautiful..." Lily breathed. Soft pink carpet lead her towards her bed. It was a brialliant canopy bed with a whtie veil. Misty squirmed in her arms, and Lily released her. She jumped onto the bed, and immediately curled up to sleep on the soft, fluffy pillow. Lilly began to unpack, putting everything neatly into the oak cupboards, drawers and shelves. She noticed a bathroom, and was about to explore when she heard a

"Whoa!" from downstairs. She headed down the stairs, about to tell the student off for sneaking into the Head Girl dorm, when she was it was James Potter.

"What are you doing here?" She accused. James ran his hands through his hair, his hazel eyes turning to look at her.

"Surely you haven't forgotten I'm Head Boy?" he asked, incredulous.

"Isn't....isn't this the Head Girl dorm?" Lily said, taken aback.

"No. We share. you have the pink room on the right, the blue stairs on the left lead to mine." James explained. Lily was shocked. It all made sense, but....a year of James Potter in the same dorm...alone?!

"Okay. But don't you dare pull anything." she stated. In the past, James had ltitered the Gryffindor common room with slugs, and other foul things. But she also meant that she didn't want him to pull any moves on her. She noticed, to her amazement, that James looked hurt. Not for the first time in the day did she wonder if he really had changed.

"Sorry...?" She ventured, feeling bad for hurting his feelings. But she had meant it. She knew very well that last year alone, James had a girl with him almost every night. Sometimes more than one a night. And Lily Evans was not that kind of girl.

"No. It's okay." he said, before heading into his room. Lily followed him, after a moment. To her amazement, the steps didn't form a slippery slide, like they did when boys or girls tried to enter the other gender's room. She supposed the Head boy and Girl had more trust. And of course, she had no intention of shagging James.

Up until last year, she had thought all her friends were virgins. But many of them started chasing after boys, and by the end of the year, most of them were giggling about Sirius Black's smile, or Jame Potter's build. And sure enough, more than a dozen were able to brag about spending the night with either one of them. While still their friend, Lily found herself disgusted with the way they acted around the two. And yet, even her closest friend, Theia, was flirting with Sirius this year. And Lily was sure the only reason Theia wasn't going after James was because he liked Lily.

Sighing, she knocked on James' door. He opened it, looking amazed not only by his massive room, but the fact that Lily had followed him.

"Yeah, Evans?" he asked.

"Um. We should go down to the Great Hall. The feast will be starting..." Lily said. She hadn't really planned on saying that, but why else had she followed him?

"Yeah. Walk with me?" he dared to ask. Lily considered. The James from last year would have put a spider in her hair by now. But James seemed sincere this time.

"Sure." she said, adding, "only because I want to talk to Remus about studies." James broke into a grin. They two headed off. It wasn't long before a mob of girls surrounded James, and Lily warily backed off. Moments later, James appeared at her side again.

"I can't believe you." she hissed.

"Why?"

"You're finally acting decent to me, so I decide to hang out with you. As soon as we set foot outside, you've got a mob of girls around you!"

"Listen, Evans. It's not my fault. I can't just tell them all to bugger off!" he protested. Lily knew he was right, and was glad he hadn't said something about how he loved the attention. As they entered the Great Hall, Lily's group of friends greeted her. As soon as they spotted James beside her, they shot herp uzzled looks. Here was the girl who had been mad at them only last year of sleeping around with the two most popular boys in the school...hanging out with one of them!

"Hi, James." they chorused.

"Hey." he answered. The burst into a fit of giggles. Lily spotted Theia sitting at a table up ahead. Remus was with her. She beelined towards them, James following.

"Hey Theia, hi Remus." she greeted.

"Mooy, where's Padfoot?" James asked. Remus looked up from his book, and Lily noticed Theia lean in a little, eager for the answer.

"Elle spotted him in the hallway, and they disappeared into the Ravenclaw dorm." Remus said boredly. Lily watched as Theia slumped back into her seat, knowing fully what Sirius was up to.

"Again? Elle was mad at Sirius last time, for shagging her friend the next night!" James said.

"Yes, but all the girls are Elle's friends. She's quite popular." Moony added. Lily sighed. Elle was another friend of hers who could be too involved with sex for Lily's taste. Ever since, in their third year, when Sirius had commented that she had a nice ass, she had swore she was in love with him. And what was worse, Theia seemed headed in that direction. And Lily knew Theia could do better than that player.

Her friend was pretty quite all through the feast, and afterwards, Lily turned to her, concerned.

"You're not thinking about Sirius are you?"

"Yeah." Theia admitted. "I really like him..."

"That's what all the girls say. 'Sirius has a smile to die for!' 'James has the hottest body I've ever seen!'" Lily mimicked, which brought a smile to Theia's face. Unfortunately, it crashed to the floor again, as her cheeks flushed red.

"What?" Lily asked. Then she turned around. Sirius, Remus, Peter, and James stood behind them.

"Didn't know you cared, Lily." Sirius stated. He had was all over the place, so that he resembled James' nturally messy hair. It was obvious what he had just done, plus the fact that there was a large hickey on his neck. Lily, turning crimson, happened to notice Peter Pettigrew standing there. He hadn't changed at all fro mthe first time she had seen him. He was still short, and resembled a ten year old. And he gazed up at the other three with worshipping eyes.

"Hey, Theia." he greeted, turning from Lily to her friend. Theia just watched him, with anger blazing in her eyes. Sirius grinned at the two, and already, Lily noticed Theia's anger was melting.

"I don't." Lily said to the group, spun on her heel and walked off. Moments later, Theia joined her.

"That Sirius Black! He thinks he's so hot." Lily hissed.

"...He is..." Theia remarked. "James is even better looking, though. You're really lucky, you know, Lily. James really likes you, and he's alot more mature now."

"Sirius isn't." Lily stated firmly.

"I know. But I don't care about that. You do. And James is perfect for you." Theia insisted.

"Goodnight." Lily said stonily, heading into her quarters, leaving Theia in the hall. She flopped onto her bed, deep in thought. Lily had noticed the way James acted on the train with Theia and Sirius. And then again when Remus told him that Sirius was busy shagging Elle. Maybe he was changing.Maybe. and she fell asleep with thoughts of James Potter in her head.
