Chapter 20: Surprises, Surprises

"I don't want to tell them," Jeannie complained, folding her arms across her chest.

"They're going to find out anyways, why not save the embarrassment?" argued Remus, sitting back down on the couch, eyes scanning the empty common room.

"That's exactly why we shouldn't tell them!" Jeannie said impatiently.

"I know…I just don't want to keep us a secret anymore, I hate trying to sneak around people," Remus gazed in Jeannie's eyes, "Don't you want people to know?"

"Yes! Yes, of course I do!" Jeannie said, dropping her gaze, "It's just…so hard…Morgan and Sirius already know!"

"Yes, but nobody else does! I want everyone to know…the whole school, No; I want the whole world to know about us, Jean!" Remus said, exasperated, wrapping his arms around Jeannie's waist and pulling her into a hug. Jeannie grabbed his hand and entwining their fingers, while resting her head in Remus' chest.

"Fine," Jeannie quietly laughed.

Lily awoke, wet with sweat and shaking. It took her a moment to remember where she was and forget the figure of James' motionless body. In the distance, she heard the soft pounding of the shower. Lily rose from her bed and pounded on the bathroom door, causing Morgan to stop her 'Shower Singing'.

"Yes?" Morgan called from the bathroom.

"Almost done in there? I have to go to the Loo!" Lily practically pleaded.

"Give me a minute, I'll be out soon," Morgan called, turning off the shower. Lily sat back down on her bed, eyes glancing to the windows. A figure was walking across the grounds. Curious, Lily sped to the window, her body dripping over the windowsill, to get a better look. It was James…a jolt went of in the pit of Lily's stomach. A mixture of guilt and oddly enough, a feeling like she was soaring through the air.

"What is he doing?" Lily asked herself, once she had 'landed'. James dragged his feet up to the school.

"Lily? What are you doing?" It was Morgan, wrapped tightly in a towel. Lily ripped her eyes off of James.

"I…ummm…saw something fly past the window, wanted to see what it was," Lily stuttered a led. Morgan was satisfied with the answer and turned her back to Lily, rummaging through her trunk trying to find a clean set of robes. With a sudden urge of her bladder, Lily rushed into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.

Her mind was still on James as she washed her hands in the sink.

'What is his problem?' Lily thought silently, grabbing her toothbrush and toothpaste, "Why is he sulking all of a sudden? He wasn't like that before my accident…No that's silly…why would he be upset about me?'

Lily tried to ignore her thoughts and started to focus on something else, but every time she tried to think of school or her friends, James came flooding back in to her memory.

"Damn you James…" She whispered furiously, blocking James from her thoughts the fourth time in a row. Lily brushed her red hair in to a half-ponytail and started to apply her makeup when she heard a rustling in the room beside her.

"Morgan?" Lily called…no reply. "Jeannie?" Lily tried, but still no answer.

Curious, Lily swung open the bathroom door to reveal a large black feathered owl, batting its wings patiently. Lily was taken back for a moment and wondered how it got into the dorm. She shrugged off the thought and wandered to the bird. She untied the thin letter from the bird's leg. At once, the bird flew off, but Lily didn't notice where it went, she was staring at the letter.

It was a letter from her sister, Petunia.

"What? She never sends me letters," Lily muttered to herself.

"Morgan?" Someone called from down stairs.

"No, Sirius…It's only me," Lily called back down.

"Well, if you see her, tell her to hurry, breakfast is almost over!" Sirius yelled to Lily.

"Sure thing," She called back. Lily decided to discard the letter for reading later, she was already late for breakfast and she was only half ready. Lily rushed back into the bathroom to change into her robes and finish applying her makeup. Satisfied, Lily tucked the letter in her back and waltzed down to the Great Hall for breakfast.

Lily spotted Morgan, Remus, Jeannie and Peter sitting together at the end of the Gryffindor table. She sat down beside Morgan and Peter and helping herself to a large bowl of porridge.

"Sirius was looking for you," Lily said to Morgan, who was scanning the Daily Prophet with dropping eyes.

"Was he? Where?" Morgan snapped out of her trance.

"No idea where he is now," Lily smiled, glad to be teasing her friend.

"Come on, Lils…where?" Morgan pleaded pathetically.

"I seriously have no idea," Lily laughed, "You could try the library."

Morgan rolled her eyes, "Sirius Black? In the Library?"

"What's wrong with me going the Library," Sirius had appeared behind Morgan and was standing beside James.

"Everything. You forgot to say Hullo," Morgan laughed.

"Did I?" Sirius said, "Hullo then." He gave Morgan a peck on the cheek. James just sighed and tried to squeeze himself in between Morgan and Lily. Lily was surprised; she thought James would ignore her because he was supposed to be sad about her. With a tinge of jealously, Lily concluded he wasn't upset about her or maybe not upset at all.

"Here." James smiled, handing Lily a piece of parchment.

"What's this?" Lily asked cautiously, "Not one of your pranks, I hope."

"No, no. It's a message from McGonagall that I just received," James said, staring at Lily as she unfolded the paper in her hands.

Mr. Potter and Ms. Evans,

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on becoming our new Head Boy and Girl; I hope we do have a productive year together. We need to schedule a meeting with the prefects and I have something very important to discuss with you. 7th Year Gryffindor's have Transfiguration at the end of the day, please see me after class.

--Professor McGonagall

Lily handed back the crumpled parchment to James and continued to eat her porridge.

"Well?" James said, smiling.

"Well what?" Lily said, trying to be polite even though he annoyed her greatly. After all, James did help Lily when she was hurt.

"I was right."

"Right about what, James?" Lily said facing James, though grimacing at the thought of calling him by his first name.

"That we will be spending a lot of time together!" James said, before Lily could say something, he left the Gryffindor table and out of the Great Hall…turning many of the girls' heads.

"Why does he have to do that?" Lily muttered.

"Do what?" Peter asked, overhearing Lily.

"Be like himself," Lily said softly, making Peter laugh.

Jeannie, Morgan and Lily walked their way to their first class; History of Magic, Sirius, Peter and Remus trailing behind them.

"So you haven't opened it?" Jeannie asked Lily.

"No, I didn't have time to…but the thing is, my sister never talks to me, so why would she send me a letter? I don't even know where she got that owl!" Lily wondered.

"Maybe that's why it's so important," Inquired Morgan.

"Maybe," Lily said, checking her watch, "We're late. Let's get to class."

Surprisingly, once Lily walked in class, James was already sitting there, badge shining, like a complimentary student.

Lily raised an eyebrow, curious as why James was acting so odd. Unluckily, on her account, the last seat left was right beside James.

"Good Morning Lily!" James said promptly as Lily sat down beside him.

"Uhh…Hullo, James," Lily said cautiously, opening up her notes as Professor Binns walked through the chalkboard and started to ramble on about the history of Giant wars. Within minutes, the room was half asleep and Lily was bored out of her mind. The only thing that kept her awake was James. He was the only one in the class taking notes and listening intently.

"Why?" Lily asked herself, "What is he up to? I can tell when he's guilty! I know he's up to something!" After awhile of Lily thinking of James, she felt guilty for actually thinking of Potter in the first place. Lily opened up her bag and rustled though it, coming across what she's looking for.

She carefully tore opened the letter and unfolded a crisp piece of pink paper.

"What the?" Lily whispered, handling the colored paper. She unfolded it and started to read rapidly.

Mr. & Mrs. Evans

Lily was shocked, her mouth hung open as her trembling hand gripped the paper.

'Petunia is getting married? She is only 21! And to Vernon Dursly? Bloody hell; is this the same guy I met in the summer? The same fat and ugly boy? But I heard with my very own ears that Petunia didn't like the guy…why would she marry him? I bet it's for his money! That bitc--'

"Lily? What's wrong?" James had interrupted Lily's streaming flow of thoughts.

"Shut up!" Lily snapped, eyes narrowed.

"But, Princess…"

"Don't call me that! Don't even talk to me!" Lily whispered furiously. She turned her face back to the invitation. Lily was just about to put away the invitation when she noticed a second piece of paper on the envelope. Lily pulled it out, this time, the letter was hastily written on plain paper.

Lily,

As you see, I'm engaged. The ring is gorgeous, too bad that you don't have one, a shame, isn't it? I also regret to ask you to be my Maid of Honor. The whole family, especially Mrs. Dursly, Vernon's mother, feels it is proper to have my own sister at the wedding. She also proposed to me that you should be my Maid of Honor, how could I reject? Anyways, please come home from your 'school' at Christmas time, seeing as I have to fit you for your dress. The wedding is on New Year's Day, you can leave once the reception is finished.

--Petunia

PS} Bring a date. Nobody embarrassing…nobody of your 'kind'! If you don't have a date, I have one ready for you…you remember Gregory Smith, don't you?

'Great, just great! First I have to go to the wedding, next I have to be Maid of Honor and lastly, I have to bring a date! Gregory Smith…nasty…the kid who was horny all the time! Who the hell am I going to bring?!" Lily thought furiously to herself.

"Lils? Is there anything wrong?" Jeannie had snuck up beside Lily's desk, blocking the curious James from view, "You seem very upset. Is there anything I can do to help?"

"You can find me a date," Lily said, thrusting the invitation and letter into Jeannie's hands. Confused, Jeannie scanned the paper, her eyes popping out at a certain point on the paper.

"Your sister is getting married?!" Jeannie asked, shocked.

"Shhh…not so loud! Yes, she's getting married! But the worst part is, I'm Maid of Honor and I have to bring a date…what an enjoyable way to spend my holiday!" Lily said sarcastically. Before the conversation could continue, the bell rang, and everyone was sent off to their next class.

Lily couldn't eat during lunch; she had that horrid feeling in the pit of her stomach when one feels nervous or sick. Lily stirred her soup absentmindedly, not touching it at all. Worried, Morgan came and sat down beside her, leaving Sirius.

"Lily, is everything all right? I mean, you didn't seem so well in History of Magic? Are you okay?" Morgan asked.

"Yes…well, no." Lily said, not in the mood to tell anyone, even one of her best friends.

"What happened," Morgan asked.

When Lily didn't reply, Jeannie leaned over to Jeannie and whispered, "Her sister's getting married."

"Oh…" But Morgan still didn't get it, "Why is she upset that her sister's engaged?"

"Because she has to be Maid of Honor and find a date, all for their wedding day on New Year's," Jeannie explained rationally.

"Bloody Hell, that sucks!" Morgan exclaimed.

"Lily, why can't you just refuse to go?" James asked eavesdropping.

"I wasn't talking to you Potter…go ride a broomstick," Lily said, annoyed that James overheard her.

"Well, I can't, Lily…I have classes to attend," James said, obviously acting like an idiot, which made Lily roll her eyes. Frustrated, Lily wanted to be alone and marched out of the Great Hall, only to be seen again during the last class; Transfiguration.

"Take a stab at it, Ms. Fairweather…not a swishing movement," Professor McGonagall sternly corrected. The 7th years were attempting to turn a candle in to a kitten, "It's time to pack up, everyone, we will continue our efforts next class. Mr. Potter and Ms. Evans, please come here."

Lily and James walked up to Professor McGonagall's desk as the rest of the class walked out of the room.

"I am sorry to say that we have all been busy these few weeks and you really must set up a meeting with the prefects. Shall we set a date?" Professor McGonagall said promptly.

"Yes, I believe that we should," Lily said mechanically, "How about tomorrow night?" Lily asked.

"Sorry, can't. I have Quiddich practice," James argued.

"Very well, what about Wednesday night?" Lily asked James.

"Perfect. Right after dinner?" James said.

"Sure," Lily said.

"Now that that's settled, I shall inform the prefects!" Professor McGonagall stated.

"Was there anything else you wanted to talk about, Professor," Lily asked politely.

"Yes, there is. Please take a seat!" Professor McGonagall said, conjuring up two wooden chairs. Both Lily and James sat down, "Professor Dumbledore and I have notice that both of you have put aside your differences this year and have stopped bickering all the time. This shows great responsibility."

Lily laughed to herself; James gave Lily a harsh look.

"Yes, well, if it is all right with both of you, you may be granted with your own private dormitory. There you can have meetings, do your homework or any other duties you may do because you are Head Boy and Girl. The dormitory is very near the Gryffindor tower, so you won't be deprived of your friends," Professor McGonagall added, "I can give you a tour right now, and then you can make your final decision."

Both James and Lily were in shock…but Lily was in a horrid state, while James felt he was in heaven.

"Share a dormitory?" Lily asked cautiously, and then pointed to James, "With him?"

"Yes! We only propose this idea to mature, responsible Head Boys and Girls. Obviously, you two fit that description." Professor McGonagall said, folding her hands.

'NO WAY,' Lily protested in her mind.

"I think it's a smashing idea," James smiled, "Shall we take the tour now?"

Professor McGonagall nodded her head and walked out of the room, James walking briskly behind her. Lily was still in her chair, mouth wide with horror. James stopped in the doorway and turned to Lily.

"Coming?" He smiled.

Lily sighed and muttered, "I guess so."

Professor McGonagall lead them halfway up to the Gryffindor Common room, but made a de-tour. Instead of continuing to go strait up the stairway (which leads to the Fat Lady), McGonagall turned to the left down a narrow passageway to a statue of a stone angel. The angel's wings were fanned out wide, at her hair was flowing down her loose robes.

"Jellical" Professor McGonagall said, the angel's wings caved in around her, revealing a set of about 7 stairs. McGonagall casually walked up them, Lily and James following. Once Lily walked into the tiny Common room, her mind shred all of her doubts of staying with James and her eyes grew with excitement.

The room was tiny, but very cozy. The fire was ablaze, which made the room glow. The room was decorated in red and gold, a tribute for Gryffindor. The room was circular, with a high glass, ceiling in which you could see the sky very well. On one side of the room, there was a stone fireplace where there were two red leather chairs and a couch, on the other side, it was dedicated to a mini-library. There were two doors that lead out of the room. Each of those rooms had a 4-poster bed, dresser, closet, desk and bathroom.

"It's gorgeous," Lily whispered as McGonagall showed them around the dormitory.

"How would you care to stay in here?" Professor McGonagall asked James and Lily. And to James' surprise, Lily answered first.

"I would love to, it's beautiful!" Lily exclaimed. Professor McGonagall turned to James.

"Mr. Potter? What about you?"

"Sure, why not?" James smiled, taking a second glance around the room.

'Stupid, stupid, Lily,' Lily mentally slapped herself, 'How could I forget about Potter…he'll be staying here with me…'

"Good! Well, I daresay you should move in tonight, before the holidays start!" Professor McGonagall smiled, before Lily could protest or change her mind, "A few ground rules!"

"Of course," murmured James.

"Firstly, just like in Gryffindor Tower, you are not allowed to go into each other's rooms! Just like the stair well collapse when one tries to climb it, something else happens to you when you attempt to go into the other's room! I trust none of you will try! Secondly, no one else is aloud to visit this dormitory, especially students from other houses. And last, respect each other's things, and no bickering! Is that clear?" Professor McGonagall instructed.

"As crystal," James said, smiling like Christmas had come early.

"Now, you two can set your own password so no one can come in…but don't change it so the other one cannot get in! You may also decorate your own rooms as you see fit," Professor McGonagall warned, "I daresay that you will want to get settled in by tonight, so I will leave you to it! If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know immediately. Remember Wednesday night; Prefect meeting!"

Professor McGonagall said, leaving an excited James and speechless Lily in their new Head's Dormitory.

A/N: Hello…sorry it took me forever to update!! Anyways, a few things to address:

1. Thanks for all the reviews! I really appreciate all of them! I love it when I do get them!!

Beth: Actually, I surprisingly agree with everything you said! I do think Morgan is to perfect, and I'm debating weather or not I should make her have some horrid secret, thanks for the idea! ;) I'm also trying to make them act more mature, not like 12 year olds! I've gotten a review like that before! Also, my friend noted that they haven't had a prefect meeting or whatnot so I added their plans to have one in this chapter. Lol…yes I realize Voldemort is on the loose and I really haven't mentioned it…but I have a plan for Voldemort that will hopefully come soon in the story! :D…and last, I have had many complaints of people wanting to see more Lily/James action. It's building, don't worry…thus comes the Head Dorm…exciting things will happen there! Other than that, I'm glad u like my story (Personally, I think it sucks-ass!! I just don't have good ideas for this one and hope that I can finish it soon so I can start another one!)!

Padfoot-prongs6: Hello Samwise, long time no see…lol!! Had a fun time at HP… It's called a Lance…Hello? Hehee…email me!

RawBean: Full Frontal snogging…yes! They are from those books by Georgia Nicholson. Actually, the word just came to me and then I looked on my bedside table…and low and behold, there were the books…funny really. UPDATE YOUR STORY!!

TO EVERYONE ELSE: Thank you, I really appreciate all the reviews…I would also love to hear your ideas for the story!

2. GUESS WHAT I SAW ON THE WEEKEND? Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban…had to wait 2 hours in line with m bestest friend…good times. Personally, I enjoyed the movie. But I did feel it was very choppy, the people who played Lupin and Sirius were…weird (good actors but…ugly) and the storyline was choppy and sucked…they could have spent more time explaining things. Did you see the movie? I would love to hear what you guys thought about it in your reviews!

3. Well, please updates…tell me what you think, but be nice. GIVE ME SUGGESTIONS!!

Anyways, until next time,

Orligrl
