yourself why you are reading this.
I finally have time to update another chapter. Surprise, surprise! = ) Please read and review. Now for the story..
Melinda, Tamari and Rachel were sitting in the common room and doing their homework. (A/N: Where's Lily, I wonder.). Melinda sighed and placed her quill down. She just couldn't concentrate. Life is so boring; she thought dully, I wish someone could cheer me up.
"What's wrong, Mel?" Tamari asked, looking concerned.
"Don't you just wish that life was more exciting?"
"Sure, everybody does."
"You realized how long Lily and James haven't played pranks on each other?"
" I think being Head Girl does have some effects."
"She needs to loosen up, that girl." Rachel added, looking up from her book.

Meanwhile, James and Lily were making their way towards Dumbledore's office. He had called them to discuss the upcoming party. Neither of them was really pleased with working with each other.
"So Evans, how does it feel being the Head Girl with a charming prince like me?"
"More like an ugly git!"
"How dare you call me an ugly git!?"
"Just look at your hair and your glasses, you think you're so cool, don't you?"
"Cooler than you'll ever be, that's for sure!"
"Like I care!"
They continued to bicker until they came upon the stone gargoyle. Both of them stopped and glared at each other.
"What's the password?" James demanded.
"How should I know?" lily retorted.
"Well, you ARE the one who wanted to be a Head Girl!"
"Mr. Potter, Ms. Evans, I suggest you not to worry about passwords." Dumbledore's pleasant voice greeted them.
Lily and James jumped and smiled sheepishly. They hadn't exactly intended their headmaster to overhear their conversation.
"The password is 'fruit sherbet', by the way."
Lily had never been in Professor Dumbledore's office and was amazed at all the interesting things that she had never seen. She looked around at the strange instruments on his desk, the paintings on the wall, the beautiful phoenix.
"Ms Evans, do you have any ideas?"
"Wha.what was that?" Lily asked. (A/N: James sniggers)
"Mr. Potter and I was just discussing about the upcoming Anniversary event and Mr. Potter had suggested a karaoke competition."
"What about a play on the history of Hogwarts?"
"Excellent, now shall we get cracking?" Dumbledore replied cheerfully.
The next hour Dumbledore, James and Lily spent their time discussing further on about the planning of the Anniversary Party. Lily and James were going to organize the event as a part of their Head Girl/ Boy duty. They had finally worked out everything and were just about to leave when Dumbledore said seriously,
"I know that you two don't get along very well, but I have chosen you because I trust that you would do your best."
Lily and James walked back to the common room, thinking about what the headmaster had said. Lily thought that if Potter deflates his humungous head into normal-sized, then she might, just might forgive him. James, on the other hand, thought that if Evans would only shut her annoying voice up, all would be fine (hopefully).

"So how did it go with Potter?" Rachel asked curiously.
"What do you expect from a guy like him?!" Lily replied sarcastically.
"Now, now, James Potter isn't that bad!" Melinda spoke loudly.
"You're only saying that because you like Sirius!" Tamari joked.
"Tam, what were you saying about Mel and Sirius?" Lily narrowed her eyes.
"Well, when you were gone, Mel, Rach and I were doing our homework in the common room." Tamari began, while Melinda was taunting and blushing furiously.
~Flashback~
Melinda was walking down the corridor towards Professor Flitwick's office. She needed to ask him about the charms essay, which was due the next day. She was reading through her essay so far when she felt someone crash into her. The person was so strong that all her books were knocked out of her hands and she fell with a thud.
"Oh sorry," a voice shouted loudly. Melinda looked up to see a handsome face staring at her. It was Sirius. (A/N: that was OBVIOUS!)
"Hey it's you!" Sirius exclaimed, "Melinda, right?"
"Yeah," she groaned. How embarrassing!
Sirius helped Melinda up and gave her books back to her.
"Are you all right?" he asked.
"Yeah." She smiled at Sirius weakly and felt her face go red.
"I'll take you to the hospital wing?"
"It's okay, I'll survive."
"Where are you heading to anyway?"
"Oh, gotta see Professor Flitwick." "Oh, sure you don't need a lift?"
"Positive." Melinda somehow felt much more comfortable with talking to Sirius.
"Well, I'll see you around then." Sirius grinned and walked off. He suddenly felt really happy. Melinda was a special girl all right, he thought, she doesn't giggle and swoon at the sight of me, like all the other girls.
Melinda watched Sirius walk away. How can I resist him, she thought, I know he's a player and all that but.if I could only be his friend.
A/N: hem, I thought that was a pretty strange ending! What I mean is that Melinda just really want to be Sirius' friend at the moment, not girlfriend. Next chapter will be more about James and Lily. I know this took me a long time to write cos writer's block, you know!
