Chapter 1.
Lily waved to her parents as she boarded the Hogwarts express. Petunia refused to come she hated every bit about Lily, this deeply hurt Lily. Her parents were great, fun and supportive but they weren't enough. Her summer was lonely, Petunia would not talk to her and her best friends Elli McCoy, Nathalie Khalfs and Katrina Atkinson had not been able to visit as their parents had taken them on holiday. Lily couldn't wait to see them, to tell them she had been made Head Girl. She spotted Severus Snape trying to hex James, but he was to quick for him but strangely he did not try and hex him back, he merely used a shield charm and walked off. Lily was still deep in thought when she heard the sounds of her friends laughter coming from a nearby compartment, she went in and hugged them clinging to them for a couple of minutes. "Hey Elli, Kat, Natz I missed you guys so much" Lily exclaimed fighting back the tears. "We missed you to" Replied Elli. "Oh God, I forgot I am Head girl, I need to go meet the Head boy and we have to give instructions to the new prefects, I promise I'll be back as soon as I can." Lily said quickly.
"Arghhhh congrats, you deserved it" Screamed Nathalie.
"Don't worry we don't mind, we'll save you some food" Joked Kat.

James was saying his farewells to his parents and telling Sirius, Remus and Peter he would catch them on the Hogwarts Express later, because he had to go meet the new Head Girl, when he noticed Snivly reaching for his wand preparing to curse James but before the curse could hit James, he muttered Protego, shrugged and walked off. Like I would touch him, when Lily is around he thought to himself. James knew she hated his arrogant ways, and cursing people for the sake of it, he remembered the feeling of being incomplete when he was trying to sleep the fact that he knew it was Lily who would complete him, he wanted her to love him the way he loved her, he wanted to prove himself to her.
"I will prove my self to her" Muttered James.
"What was that Prongs?" Asked Sirius.
"You'd think Snivilus would learn by now not to mess with the J-mister, why didn't you curse him into oblivion?" Asked Peter hardly able to contain his disappointment.
"Lilly was watching, and I love her but she hates when I pick on snivels so if I stop being the big headed arrogant prick I was these past 6 years hopefully she will go out with me also don't EVER call me J-mister Wormtail." Replies James.
"I thought you said you had to go to the heads compartment?" Asked Remus.
"Oh yeah, old Snivly made me forget, see you guys later." Said James walking off.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
James walked into the compartment noticing a fiery red head sat down with a couple of fifth and sixth years, it was Lily she looked up at him, her astonishing green almond shaped eyes narrowing. "Evans, you've been made Head Girl." Said James happily.
"Yes and I'm guessing you've been made Head Boy, just sit down we need to show these knew prefects the ropes." Said Lily exasperatedly.
An hour and a half later James and Lily had finished speaking to the prefects gave them their orders and told them they were free to see their friends now just to make sure they patrol every now and again.
"So Evans you do realise your going to have a bedroom right next to mine, and a private common room with me." Exclaimed James, who was now lying back into the comfortable sofa, the heads compartment had.
"Unfortunately I had noticed, but from what I've seen so far you have changed slightly and I guess it wont be too bad having to work with you, I mean at least you're not a Slytherin" Replied Lily.
"What do you mean? Would you prefer a Ravenclaw or a soppy Hufflepuff to me? Said Lily, sounding slightly injured.
Lily noticed his tone and felt guilty. He had never been mean to her, but he was such an arrogant bully towards others. Then she remembered Snivilus... Severus, she had to stop calling him that.
"So why didn't you curse Snape, when he tried to hex you?" Asked Lily.
"Well Evans, I've realised it's about time I grew up and stopped hexing people, I have to set an example now as head boy, someone I care about has taught me it's wrong."
"James, you can call me Lily now if were going to work so closely together. James I never thought I'd say this but once you're arrogance fades away you're kind of cool, see you in the common room."
