Just a Game

Chapter one:

Disclaimer: We all know that I could not own this; well I do own Olivia and Carla!

Lily Evans was in her seventh year, she was also head girl and at the moment she was coming back from professor Dumbledore's office. Where she and Potter had been asked to go to help arrange the dance which was taking place at Christmas. Lily was still thinking about what had happened as she walked back to the Gryffindor common room. The meeting had gone quite well considering Potter was there.

Lily found she was quite looking forward to the dance, which was still a few weeks away.

By now Lily had reached the portrait of the fat lady.

"Password"

"Sphinx" said Lily, the portrait swung forward and Lily went into the Gryffindor common room. Her two best friends Carla Leng and Olivia Leonardson were sat at a table near the fire, Lily went over to them.

"How did the meeting go Lils?" asked Olivia.

"Quite well considering Potter was there" said Lily.

"You mean he didn't play any pranks on you when Professor Dumbledore's back was turned?" asked Carla who was smiling.

Carla, Olivia and Lily had been friends since their first year at Hogwarts, they were very different from each other.

Olivia didn't like studying and you would normally find her reading a magazine or predicting the future which she was quite good at, she was the most out going one.

Carla liked studying and spent a lot of time in the library, she was also the shyest of them and she could calm down any row unless it was one between her and Sirius.

Lily was good at her classes and spent nearly as much time in the library as Carla; she got on with most people but did have a bit of a temper.

"No he didn't play any pranks on me" said Lily.

"That's not actually true" said Olivia grinning.

"What do you mean liv?" asked Lily.

"I mean your hair is pink" said Olivia and started laughing.

"You're joking, aren't you" said Lily sounding worried.

"She's not" said Carla.

"So that's why people were giving me strange looks as I came back from Dumbledore's office" said Lily getting out her wand to change her hair back to normal.


James and Sirius were sat at a table in the common room.

"So James who are you going to take to the dance?" asked Sirius.

"I don't know yet, why?" asked James as he moved his king out of check.

"Well if you don't know yet let's make it interesting" Sirius said grinning mischievously.

"What do you mean?" asked James sounding intrigued.

"Let's have a little bet" said Sirius.

A/n I know it's short but I'm planning to put up the next charter soon hope you liked it.
